no its definately 30% of attack power that becomes ap & 15% of ap that becomes attack power.
Kayle has been a bit poor for a while now, she's not a ranged dps because her E isn't always up and in any case kog'maw or ezrael would be a superior choice for ranged hybrid characters. She can't match up to regular melee dps chars either, not being able to jungle and lacking survivability. Tbh i prefered her in her previous incarnation before the remake, even though she was almost certainly worse then i just liked to play her as tank/support.

You just played against a team with four ranged ad carries. Congrats haha, never been that lucky before personally.
In US server the the popular bans are Eve, Zilean, Shen, Twisted Fate and Nocturne.
Eve because of her roaming and ganking with her stealth causes players to play more conservatively and waste money on more wards and oracles.
Zilean because he can pretty much correct bad plays with revive.
For the same reason, Shen is pretty OP with his global shield teleport, being able to turn around ganks into the teams favour.
Twisted Fate has that same ability to turn ganks around, create ganks and being able to split push and backdoor is really strong also.

Okay question, I've been running a Crit-plank as my main to much success early and mid with Gangplank. The issue I'm having is late game survivability. I hit like a truck but my find my self too squishy to really allow my damage to kill. Any recommendation as far as items go?
My core items are:
Trin Force
Ionian Boots
Yomuu Blade
Phantom Dancer
Infinity Edge

Usually it's hard enough to get those items. I get a philosopher's stone and avarice blade to help with the gold (stone I sell and blade I build to Yomuu). Mainly the money comes from kills and Parrrley last hits. Without a AOE spell besides ult it makes a bit more tedious to farm minions. With the build though the speed and crit damage is worth it.

I've determined that playing Warwick in Ranked is just about the best way to ensure wins. I'm now 28-10 with him, and that is the main reason I've climbed up from ~1000, along with doing well with Udyr and Ashe. If I Warwick, I know the jungle on my team doesn't suck, and I can control side lanes and mid with ganks if need be. He also stays high enough to not get easily counter jungled, I don't even need health pots when jungling, and can spend the money on wards instead.
The average gold per game I get is around 10000g. Which is why I was concerned if you consider your build core.
Your core should basically be boots and Infinity Edge because that would be the most reliable to get in any game. After you get this core, you can then build depending on the situation, building more offense or defense. For defense, get Sunfire cape if you are struggling with physical damage or Banshees Veil if you're having trouble with casters. It is important to adapt your build according to the situation.
Generally I like to build my Gangplank as such because it outputs enough damage and can take a few hits too.
Boots
Infinity Edge
Phantom Dancer
Frozen Mallet - Parley applies slow, gives more survivability.
Atmas Impaler - Gives more attack damage with the amount of health and more crit chance.
Late Game it is important to get Last Whisper to deal with tanks.

It's LoL time (Rebecca Black parody) very recognizable lyrics, especially if you solo queue a lot.

been playing poppy as of late, really fun carry and it's great harrassing at towers, but her farming is horrible.
I've been going the AD route, dorans, then beserkers, sheen, trinity, life steal, phantom dancer, blood thirster, black cleaver and finally an infinity edge. I hit like an absolute truck but it's very hard to farm.

Irelia, Jarvan and Nocturne, IMO.
Unkillable mobile self-healing tanky bursty assassin, triple CC high-damage tanky DPS and... whatever Nocturne is meant to be. AD-scaling, double steroid tanky DPS ganker with a spell-shield? Everything feels wrong about Nocturne, idk.

I don't get the sheild, I get the blade, I've been finding that the little bit of life steal and the extra damage keep me in the lane a bit longer. I've also tried some of the gold/10 items, seemed to be usefull.
Poppy sitting in a lane is a waste though, similar to Alistar. Get out there and start harassing other lanes as soon as you get a few levels. Once you get your first kill or two. It's gravy. She needs very little to be effective for a large portion of the game(Boots+Sheen). So either start with the boots and get 3 pots, or start with the mana gem and get 2 pots. A Doran's item just slows you down from getting those two all important items for her.les papillons sexuels said:

I just had a game with one of the worst teams I've ever had. Then... we won? It was damn weird. We finished the game a collective 13-45, but while half our team was getting raped in team fights, we had 1 or 2 backdoor them. Teams with no pushing power are really hindered in the long run, and that really showed this game. Their only ranged hero was an Anivia, who really has zero ability to push.

lol we've all been there.
And you'll get many more. There are games were I completely feel like I'm a league above everyone in it. When both of your tanks are chasing around a Teemo away from the group fight. They keep targeting our Viegar? Never thinks to buys a Bashee Viel so Anumu can't ult him. Our Udyr is still in the jungle 50 minutes in while group fights are going on?
I think the most rage inducing one lately was that Udyr and a Fiddle who followed. Continually went off on their own to fuck around in the jungle. 4v5... and you know what, everytime we told them to get in a group. OH SORRY! do it again? OH SORRY! How about you take the shit out of your ears and listen instead of having to apologize.
I really wanted to kill that fiddle. Group fight? He's farming on top. Group fight? He runs off to get blue. Group fight? He is killing the fucking dogs. Ended up with about 4-5 kills less than the next lowest, and 10+ assists than the next lowest. The shithead deserved to be banned, even with us winning the game.

Yeah, I definitely like what they have done with the game so far, but it seems like they need more ways to make money. They are definitely prioritizing making new charas/skins because that's what drives their revenue, while other things - Project Shiny, Magma Chamber, new game modes rebalances/tweaks - have definitely fallen by the wayside because they can't be monetized without getting flak from players.
I mean, how long ago did they announce Magma Chamber and it still isn't even close to being done? If money is the issue, I definitely wouldn't mind paying for a 'premium account' or something that gave them guaranteed revenue monthly and me some free champions or something.
Will definitely be interesting to see how DOTA 2 impacts both HON and LOL (I think HON has more to worry about, though, considering League is notably different than DOTA).
EXGN said:
We'll see. Valve tend to play test the shit out of their games and I wouldn't be suprised if they pulled a 'TFC to TF2' and stripped it down to it's bare basics. That and it's a Valve, so it's a given everyone will drop their DoTA clones and flock to try out the sequel.
EXGN said:
Well they can kindly fuck off. I refuse to buy any more Riot Points until I see some significant improvements.
shintoki said:
They need money to fund all that growth, plus they just moved to a new studio. While I don't doubt that the company is making bank, I think it's pretty telling from their actions (focusing on new skins/expensive champs rather than maps/tweaks/modes) that they still need more money to finish off all the unmonitizable (made up words, yay!) projects they're working on.
I can only hope so. I tried HON over the weekend since its was free and trying learning all those new champs was pretty overwhelming. If Dota 2 is really gonna ship with more than 100 champs without some way to assist the learning process, I'm not sure I'll bite.

Marn playing LoL right now...
Also, what's this news of Flash becoming an item? Not that I'm opposed, but I hope it's either useful outside of Flash or that it's a Boot item. I don't want to be limited to 4 slots.

Understandable reasoning though, I'm super excited for Dreamhack Season One Finals. I've been playing my smurf accounts, leveling them up in time for Season 2.

Wow, being part of the Tribunal ROCKS.
Hitting that "Punish" button against obvious pricks has never felt quite so satisfying. Now that I know how it looks like from the Tribunal's end, I intend to be much more specific in my reporting.

Two of the cases the people clearly blew and were constantly rude, so that was easy.
There was one where the guy had a very mixed record. Occasionally strong games (19/5) with some even k/d ratios. But the guy was just a prick throughout. I was hesitant to punish until I just saw way too much evidence.
What's damning is when the winning team flags someone on the opposite side for being a prick.
