I just got the game this week after planning on playing it for ages. Loving it so far (level 11), getting the hang of Veigar and Janna. Contemplating what champion to save up for next. I really like skill shots, crowd control, and casters - what's the verdict on Anivia for a casual player?

Anivia is awesome. Also hard to play. You might like Lux, all her skills are skillshots yet she's extremely newbie friendly.
Ashe is superior only because of her ult. Good teams (team being the keyword here) can take advantage of her global presence to organize ganks. It's harder to do this in solo queue since you don't know how competent your teammates are ahead of time. Caitlyn is more self reliant (farm, range, heavy nuke, traps, pseudo blink) which makes her easier to play than someone like Ashe.

personally, i think brand is a good choice
I'm started builing TF as a hybrid and hes is really good
I went
Trinity Force
Guinsoo's Rageblade
Hextech Gunblade
Sorcerer's Boots
I only got this far before winning i suppose there are 2 spare items are situational depending on what team the enemy is made up of. I suppose a second Gunblade wouldnt hurt, along with Void Staff.
I went Teleport and Ghost as my spells. Having the second teleport along with the Ulti is really good for jumping around the map.
I had my Masteries at 9-0-21

I wouldn't mind if Flash was thrown on an item, for heroes like Blitz and Ali who more or less need it to combo well. But it's telling when it is the most often used Summoner Skill in the game by far. Unlike other summoner spells, Flash is useful in just about every situation except one where you're silenced.
EXGN said:As someone who uses Flash more for offense rather than escaping, I hope they don't get rid of it or nerf it too hardMy Alistar and Blitzcrank would cry.
There was a thread on the LoL forums by Zileas (Zilean?). 55.5% of people want changes to Flash. (meaning either removed or made into an item)

I think HoN did it right by not having summoner spells, and spells like Flash or Teleport are items (Portal Key and Homecoming Stone)

ELO Hell Report #47 - People have started banning Warwick, Morde and Miss Fortune. It definitely smells like hell down here.

I don't think forumites tend to be the best voice of reason. All they do is complain about stuff they want changed or removed - after Dyrus picked Singed at Dreamhack, the forums erupted with 'Nerf Singed' topics even though he is never banned in ranked matches and has been left largely untouched since he was first introduced. They see things they don't like and cry, regardless of whether its fair or balanced already.
That said, I hate that Flash is essentially used as a get-out-of-jail-free card by most, but like I said, there are a lot of characters that absolutely depend on it to line up skill shots and reposition themselves for offensive maneuvers. I'd hate to see the latter group punished for the sake of the former. Without Flash, characters like Alistar would be severely gimped.
If I had my way, I would just remove the ability to Flash over walls and/or use it if you've been attacked in the last second or so. This enables you to use it offensively while punishing the 'bail out of a fail' function.
Also, that topic is kinda old - hasn't the CD and range been nerfed since then?

Then imagine the bad player whining when it's gone.
I wouldn't mind them trying out "can't cast flash 20s after being attacked" ala the keleseth's dagger limitation.
GP is pretty alright now. His jungle is fast and his ganks post 6 are incredibly deadly. Even before 6 a ranged red at melée levels is nothing to be scoffed at.
Douche bag blitz:
Builds tank
Never initiates
"I'm good at grabbing"
Grabs singed into carry

I just had a really fun game as Ali, we were losing the first 30 mins of the game and I tried my best to save my teammates and send the silly enemy Annie to our frontline with headbutt (she god demolished fast). I managed to annoy the enemy team and they started to focus me during the whole game which I loved and 85% of the time escaping with flash then returning to annoy some more. Tower diving an Alistar = not smart.
The best part of this whole match is my friend Orianna send her little ball to check Baron and we got it ... lulz were had, it's funny cause we noticed after we fought and won.

Why didn't you buy Soulstealer on Lux? It's one of those champions that it is so easy to build stacks. I am disappoint son

game after i had 11-1
i dont need it
basically in the picture, I had 6K gold before i went back to base
so there was no point buying a soulstealer
soulstealer is too momentum based. if you get it as a first item and don't get any kills, you've basically sunk 1200 gold that could have went to a deathcap instead.HappyPuppy said:Why didn't you buy Soulstealer on Lux?

such change would need a massive rebalance..Gez said:
squishy carry would be even squishier (no flash = no omfg need to run/escape), some ult would loose meaning..
es: amumu miss a bandage, if he has flash he can just flash in the middle&R, else he has to travel by foot..
and if by any chance they add them as items, they would need to rebalance the stuff a LOT...
for you'd see anyone blinking till say 35-40 mins, and than they'd most likely sell it in the REAL late-game for the sixth item..
and man..
akali with R+ flash item + ghost + exhaust = "you can't escape BRO!" :X
no thx, really

Have you played HoN or DOTA? It's not an issue at all.

Hes my idea, remove Summoner spells! I hate when developers add crap in games for the sake of being 'unique' when its either OP or broken.
EDIT: Rally/Flash/Ghost would really serve better as an items IMO. The rest of the spells can go away.
The day they remove summoner spells is the day I will finally put some money into this game.
like chip said, summoner spells make LoL different from DotA in a possibly good way, makes the same hero play different due to variations in runes/summoner spells. if you want to play dota, play dota. though if summoner spells were removed, people would actually have to learn map awareness, which would be good. just add denying and we got a new dota game!
Because those game are balanced around not having them.Gez said:
This game is pretty much balanced around having Flash, there would have to be massive changes to remove it. Besides that everyone is "forced" to have Flash, I have no problems with summoner spells. It adds a bit of flavor to the game.
Ultimoo said:
But the fact of the matter being unique for the sake of being unique is coming at the cost of balance and this isn't a good thing.
My brother (level 8) is duo queuing with his friend (level 23) and at the moment he is VSing people anywhere from Level 15 to 25. These people have flash (a level 12 spell), they have Tier 3 runes (he has none) and they have more mastery points. The game is unbalanced because it's trying to 'add some flavour'. This shouldn't be some COD crap where people have to earn shit, everyone should be on a level playing field.
Fine you like your summoner spells, but why shouldn't they be make into items? They would still exist in some form.
Riot should give everybody all Tier 1 runes, unlock the Rune pages so you can use said Tier 1 runes (not to be confused with giving out free pages) and give everybody 30 mastery points so the balance gap is closed. The only reason Im not suggesting their removal is because people have paid real money for the rune pages, and it would be unfair to them.
wouldn't the easier solution be for your brother's friend to get a on a newbie account then? also, you don't need flash, I'd say ghost is almost as good as flash at lower levels. I ran T1 runes for the longest time and it barely made a difference too. Masteries/runes/summoner spells make a huge difference when skill levels are the same between both sides in my eyes, but at lower levels of play, it doesn't really do anything. it doesn't matter that you have T3 runes when you suck, having T3 runes don't make you automatically better. T1 runes aren't even expensive, besides Quints, and you should only buy holiday Quints.
your friend is not going to notice the lack of runes / lack of masteries. the only runes that I actually ever notice are my mp5/level runes, and my CDR/level runes. he's only going to miss flash, but eventually he'll get that. until then, he can run ghost/exhaust, which is almost as good.

That the exact reason I never gave a crap about HoN and do not really care much for DotA 2.Uchip said:
And that is one of my issues with the game. He has the competency to jungle Udyr, but he is only hurting the team because of a lack of runes and levels. Runes are great in theory because you can give characters different builds (instead of the fairly static HoN/Dota builds), but they are too expensive to allow for experimentation. (especially if you buy characters with IP)

We haven't even seen it yet. For all we know it could be as much as a step away from the original as LoL was.
