Olaf is fun, especially in team fights. Activate ult, become beast, kill their carry, run away. WORKS LIKE A CHARM.Archie said:
running Vampiric Scepter first on Olaf is also fun for jungling, so much tension and hoping you don't get raped.
found an old picture, oh sunfire capes, how I miss thy.

Alright I played the Plank for a few days and he's trash. It takes pretty much a full item build before you can reliably do any damage with him. Though I must admit once you finally do get all the stuff you need hitting people with Parley for 2/3'ds of their health is a good time.
Still should of bought Miss Fortune instead. I've been playing her since she's free and she's actually pretty awesome. She hit's hard and her ult isn't totally worthless.

I honestly think you're all wrong on Plank
I go two faerie charms -> Philo stone. Sell one of the faerie charms for heart of gold. Build infinity edge and take it from there.
You're not supposed to be able to 1v1 a straight damage carry with just your auto attacks vs their auto attacks, thats the reason why Parley is so strong, you can blow away half their health and finish them off.
Just played my first solid game with Vlad 5 games after buying him. Although I'm never too sure in the games when I rape face cause I can't be certain whether it was me or my opponents were really that bad :|
The solid way to play plank is for the first 20~ minutes or so you are support.
Your teamfight contribution is a bit of damage a large area buff (+Dmg +Movespeed) and your ult for its slow.
I generally start off with a Philo stone followed by an avarice blade. If I'm not doing too bad grab another G/10 item, otherwise start on infinity edge by grabbing a BF sword, then a Zeal. I finish off my IE by this point as I can do a fair amount of damage. Here it becomes situational, If I can afford to ignore def for a couple more minutes I'll finish the PD otherwise its a situational defense item of your choice. Then I finish off zeal, and if I bought a Warmogs earlier, I'll grab at atmas when I sell my last Avarice blade.
I generally do very well. Always be watching for your ult. It may not seem like it can do much but the slow is very very awesome for ganks, even if it forces them to blow their flash early.
EDIT: I FAIL AT TYPING (So grammar/spelling fixes)

Question on queue etiquette. I only play with friends and I don't play as often as the rest of the group. Currently I am level 16 while the majority is level 30. Lately there has been a good amount of people that just rage in the lobby because of the level disparity in our group. People claim that it causes the other team to be level 30s etc. I personally never feel disadvantaged playing level 30 teams and have never felt grouping with my friends hurts our chances of winning. What is gaf's thoughts on this? Am I expected to solo queue until I am level 30 too? Seems odd considering how long it takes to level up in this game.

The only thing 30's will have on you will be mastery points and possibly runes. Don't let the level scare you, A LOT of them are still baddies who make more mistakes then some newer players (who are alot more cautious). If you're doin fine don't even worry about it.
It's a disadvantage mathematically speaking but in practice it's so slight as to be inconsequential. I've seen many 30s play as though they were just learning the game. Getting to 30 is not really proof of skill at all.
If you feel confident then there's no reason why you shouldn't queue with friends who are 30s. Ignore the tryhards.

I'll try this build out I guess. Perhaps it's just my inexperience with him but I never really had any success with him except in a couple 3v3 games I played with my buddies. I don't really want to write him off since like I said he is actually pretty fun to play.Kozak said:I honestly think you're all wrong on Plank

Started playing Twisted Fate and I seem to do a lot more good for the team with him. Last game I had I went 7 and 1 with 5 assists, was the highest level, and cleared all the way to the inhibitors and destroyed them on both top and mid basically solo every time.
<_< Now if only I could consistently get team mates that all play. Shit is so dumb when you have 3 games in a row where one guy just jacks off in spawn doing nothing.

Kayle was already remade! (Yeah I know they're remaking her again.) I just think her current rendition - the dps semi support occupies a unique niche in LoL. I suppose her problem is that she's terrible at both but it is a special place anyway.IsayFever said:
Playing as a support is a good way to learn since you can stay out back and throw out supportliness.
Yeah, Heart of Gold is a lot better than avarice because ghostblade isn't that great anymore so the avarice blade would go to waste. (I still think GP is pretty weak. Hopefully the buffs will help him out so I don't groan everytime I see one).

CLG vs FnMSI (These euro players are amazing)
- Maximum gold for killing a player on a long kill streak reduced to 500 gold from 1000
- Minimum gold for killing a player on a long death streak reduced to 15 gold from 90 gold
I like this, I really like this.
Also Evelynn Nerf, one of my favorite champs just because she can stomp bad players who think spending 175g on a pink ward is silly. If you QQ hard enough on the forums you can change thing also the Vlad nerf. I love stealth guess I'll go back to ganking as shaco and then split pushing at late game. It sucks that they do this hotfix on her and leave her useless promising a rework soon TM (like Magma chamber and other low class features) but yes more champs please :/ go go more tanky dps :/.

yay and no..IsayFever said:
mana reduction on stance switch is a big YAY...
turtle healing be actual dmg and not raw dmg, well if you're jungling shielded target are not there :X when you're ganking sure, but doubt you'd switch to turtle for long enough to notice the difference
phoenix stance buff seems nice but if they don't change the ap ratio, it will just be "for fun"... tiger for raping, turtle for shield+healing, bear for sprint&stun.... phoenix for.. creeps? XD
