I'm going to play him anyways, if only for the laughs. What's weak about his exactly?

I've seen people do this before, and I've always wondered why the fuck they would ever do that.

Anyone know a good build and way to play Jax?

Haven't played him since I started playing again after about a year break, and I hear he is good again.

doran's blade -> doran's blade -> doran's blade / boots (tabi or merc) -> vamp scepter -> cutlass -> gunblade -> situational

atmas is a must (later) -- triforce is excellent, rylais is excellent, rageblade is meh okay, banshee's is excellent

Any Alistar builds and/or advice? I love the character, but I am trash with him. I'd love to know how to properly CC without knocking the enemy to the wrong side.

I recommend Garen for a new player. I played Garen almost exclusively when I started and it's pretty straightforward (but he was ridiculously OP back then).

Thanks, I'll try it. Also, do you jungle or lane? Friend suggested jungling as his burst coming out of the jungle is really good.

When you pulverize them make sure to quickly walk in the opposite direction of where you want to headbutt your enemy and then quickly headbutt them. It's hilarious when you manage to get them hit back to your tower, so satisfying :D

I absolutely hate running into GP's in solo queue. The problem is that they all think he's an alright champion when all they do is stand back and parleyy once in a while in a fight.

GP is basically a carry support (raise morale) with a ranged nuke. There are a bunch of champs that do everything else better. GP built damage gets melted trying to walk into melee while there are many melee carry's with gap closers. GP built tank offers nothing useful other than his heal debuff. Irelia, Xin and Jarvan would do more damage than tankGP when themselves are built tank.

Just fired this back up for the first time in awhile. All the E3 news got me excited for it again, and I've been wanting to be able to watch matches for awhile now,and it seems like they finally have a sweet system set up for that.

Pretty pumped to get back in.

Nobody stacks avarice anymore. As I said, people either go mostly damage or mostly tank and they're both useless. Tank just has the benefit of dying slower. In an even game, GP can't do anything better than any other melee hero in a team fight. You can enlighten me right now if you want - what does GP do?

Outside of team fights, his ult has much less impact compared to TF's, Pantheons, Karthus' or Shen's. And those champions are easily better than GP.

He has an awkward and weak kit.
-His ult becomes merely annoying mid to late game and has way less impact compared to other globals.
-His Q has low scaling, encouraging you to stack more damage on an already squishy champion. Not only that, it's his one ability that scales with AD which gives me the impression that he is a melee "carry" with no gap closer. Yi has a better steroid, a gap closer and he's just an average hero because he is squishy. GP is worse off.
The fact that Q encourages damage stacking, "all I do is stand back and parleyy" syndrome is an issue.
-Remove scurvy is useless if they want to focus you anyway.
-And raise morale, while nice, doesn't make GP a worthy addition when many champs can provide a similar benefit.

The best use of this kit is "tank" GP which plays like an anti-carry and tries to sit on a squishy and uses remove scurvy as a one time cleanse to enable them to keep tunnelling. That sounds a lot like Irelia! GP doesn't even have built in survivability other than a small heal on remove scurvy when compared to most anti carries which do.

Yeah, he needs a serious overhaul. His kit is just not useful in it's current iteration, he could use a better focus. Pretty much Nunu does everything he does but way better. Strong nuke that also acts as a perma slow, heal, speed boost/AS steroid and an AOE ult that can actually be useful. Plus he's one of the strongest junglers in the game.

Global ult on a jungler is fun.

This is the build I've been using with success:

start with 2x fearie charm and pot
upgrade to 2x philospher's stone, boots
optional sheen
1x upgrade philo to shurelya, boots to Ionian
Randuin's
upgrade philo to miracle
additional tank items and/or triforce depending on game

prioritize pulverize, headbutt, heal

masteries 9/21 (cdr and spell pen in offensive)
runes, preferably mana regen in yellow and blue, move speed quints

Not sure if it was a bug on my side or Riot's side, but it's showing I have 2700 rp when I bought only 1380 worth of Riot points. Checked all my card statements and bank statements and it only shows a 10 dollar debit from all of them in regards to Riot points. Hope it sticks. Gonna go spend my free points!

Boken's quick tips to playing Ryze!
1. Is Overload up? yes? Cast it!
2. Is Overload up? yes? Cast it!
Seriously if overload is up you should cast it. Too often do I see Ryze opening with W because rooting first makes sense or because they freak out because theyre getting hit and try to be defensive by rooting. Q Q Q it uppp.


-I think his sustained combo is really strong. Q W (kite for 1s) Q E (kite for 1s) Q R (kite for 1s) Q W (kite for 1s) Q E (kite for 1s) Q. holy shit! Sustained damage without having to play Cassiopeia.

v - eh I don't think he needs to be any kind of assassin. His burst (QREQW-Q) is weaker than old ryze and many burst mages. He can stand in a fight and just spam shit cos Ryze is boss and bulky.
