Riot~
Where is the announcement~
Where is the announcement~
Pity I couldn't get Silver. But Bronze isn't terribly bad either.
End up with 58% Win, and a 7.6:1 ratio with Janna, Nasus 57% and 3.4:1 ratio, and 52.4% win and 9.6 Ratio on Lux.
Still kind of a pity I didn't realize that if I queue dodge, I lose ELO too. 11 leaves and I'm not going to lie. When I noticed it. I left another during picking just to see if it was true. Maybe I would of had a chance at silver then.

Achtius said:Just had the most intense game ever. The battle were 70 minutes long. Every non-nexus turrets were broken and the inhibitor were exposed. After a long back and forth, we finally die since we didn't have a carry. Both team have less then desired character (Wukong for us and Eve for theirs), but we just couldn't compete against yi and his annoying backdoor ability.
Swain is good, my personal favorite caster
Gotta ask, though, why AA on Swain? I usually get that on champs that can spam spells (Kass, Karth) so you can max it out quickly. Swain's spells all have rather lengthy CDs (8-10s), are you able to max tear in a decent time?I always just rush Rabadon's and then go Rylai's (goes really well with his existing slow) and get blue buff for the mana regen.

I thought I will need the extra mana, so I just get tears first and AA at the end. Not sure if I max it. Maybe i'll try death cap and Rylai next time
Ryze gets mad at me for "ks a lot" in a bot game so I started teasing him. This led to comedic gold in-game with lines like "u talking me?" "think your a god lol!" and "let me tell you a thing." I think he got really mad when I told him to play more like Annie bot, who had about twice as many kills as him.

Flat Health quints are pretty much the best for generic jungling.
Ikuu said:
You really don't. It helps reduce the margin of error/provide a safety net/speed things up.
If you can consistently get that first gank attempt out at level 4 and about 4 minutes or so into the game, then you're already ahead of most low/mid elo junglers. This is why I've largely stopped playing WW as well. He's too slow and his ganking at level 4 just isn't as reliable as a lot of other junglers.
I will contest this. ASPD or AD quints are more useful for jungling than HP quints. Armor yellows are also very important, especially for squishier heroes with or without built in healing. I don't know of any jungle rune page that uses HP quints, but nearly all of them use ASPD or AD.bluemax said:
The main reason is you can't always expect to be able to gank successfully after getting red. If it turns into a jungle farming race, then speed is more important than a smidgen of health.
Achtius said:
Ah, I forget too that you are a lower level. When I play Swain, I make sure to get mana regen runes/masteries, which help a lot. Still, I would suggest maybe trying Chalice over Tear, that will help your mana regen, cost less and allow you to focus on better AP items. Plus Blue Buff can help a lot too, the only other champion that needs Blue as much as Swain is Annivia.
This was posted a few weeks ago, my build generally goes like this:
Man I just can't catch a break. Have only won like three to five of my last twenty games. Even if I win my lane or do well the other lanes collapse, or someone feeds, or the enemy team is 30s running with a smurf against people in the 20-25 range.
Halycon said:
Flat Health quints are better for generic jungling because they make it easier to grab blue at level 1. They're pretty much only useful in making it through those tough first level or two for borderline junglers.
I've seen plenty of guides that recommend almost pure attack speed for someone like WW.
This rune setup is not an optimized set up by any means, its just a generic set that is "Good enough" for non competitive games.
Halycon said:
Probably because there's only one AP jungler worth playing and I never play him. I mostly play Udyr/Trundle and sometimes Jarvan right now. I play GP when he isn't banned.

Boots + 3 pots (if I'm solo top) or Doran's Ring (if I'm mid) > Sorc boots + Rabadons > Rylai's > Situational - Banshee's if I need defense and they are a poke heavy team, Abyssal or Zhonya's to itemize against their strongest carry, DFG if I want more damage, etc.

mejai's tend to be pretty decent on any support char given the number of assists they usually get and the fact they tend to be lower risk then say a melee carry.
Any decent support player should always get Mejai's unless the game is going south early. You'll only die a 2-3 times at most, and normally can keep it at a solid 10-14. Basically its 100AP+ for 1200g as long as you aren't a bad player.Goon Boon said:
My first loss in 8 games :O.
Leaver center, sadly we were still in it, but not much coordination. So a few people continually kept getting caught... aka face-checking bushing.

First time posting in this thread.
I've been casually dabbling in this game for the past week and a half. So far it seems I'm really into ranged characters and not so much melee, though I liked Trundle the most of the ones I played.
What I want to do right now is pick one hero and try to get good with them. Here's the heroes I played in the order I enjoyed them:
Corki
Teemo
Ryze
Veigar
Ashe
Urgot
Trundle
Heimerdinger
Miss Fortune
Leona
Sion
Nunu
Katarina
Zilean
Malazahar
Jax
Taric
Nasus
Amumu
Shen
Singed
Corki and Teemo were the ones I had my best games with but both of them have characteristics I'm not happy with.
What other heroes should I look into? As in, who else is fun to play and a stronger character worth investing time in? I'm only level 9 right now.

I want to play a ranged character that is capable of running over minions when unopposed like Corki but capable of sniping other heroes from a distance like Teemo.
Ryze I liked a lot because of how good he is at this, same thing with Veigar but I tend to like characters with a physical attack more so I don't end up having to wait for mana to do big damage.
I don't like playing tanks or healers that much.
EXGN said:
Alright, I'll try that. But just had two epic games with Swain
Lost this one:
Our carry wasn't that good, and theirs was so we struggle to win. But was still close. Irelia got like crazy mDef and i didn't realize it until too late. and what is lame is that when I use laser bird and nevermore, she was still somehow able to move and killed me. I can literally see the talon on her but she actually moved and killed me . fml
Won this one:
Their Sivir rage quit, but their shaco was like insanely powerful - it was literally 2 hit ko with his clone. Only when Leblanc was able to silence him do we had a chance against him. and lol I am using ungraded boots. XD

been a while since i got to play lol, tryn's been my main man since I started, the patch changed him quite a bit. Finding that ~70-75% crit is perfect for end game game since rage at 65-70 (which seems to be pretty easy to obtain and hold at later levels) will max you out on the crit, gonna try throwing in the rage-blade to see how much the ap benefits him. Otherwise I'll be stacking some flat defensive items.
Spirit visage seems like another good option given that it now effects life steal, and a faster q and ult will benefit him greatly.

Was probably a case of you hitting her with Nevermove when Banshee's was up. Plus, with her item build, she had +20 percent MS + Shurelias, so even if you hit her with bird, her move speed was prob upward of 400. Plus she has her jump - Irelia is just a tough character to get away from.
Anyways, played my first game with Corki, I like. Started off kinda bad, went like 1/2 at first but eventually I got adjusted to him and went on an 8-kill streak.

Looks like riots preparing to announce a new game mode and graphic update tomorrow:
http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueofleg...you_google_search_league_of_legends_dominion/
There's a link in the comments to an IRC chat which hasn't been confirmed as real or not, but I'll post a bit of it:
[09:08:57] <VonGuard> dominion is a 5-capture point map, in a circle, with two real lanes and a central "jungle" with no npcs
[09:10:10] <VonGuard> big circle, 5 capture points
[09:10:59] <VonGuard> new items in new map
There's more at the link above, I guess we'll find out tomorrow if it's true or not.

So, we will see it in the next few years?
I don't think they've released any major new content other than expensive champs since I've been playing. We've known about project shiny, replays and magma chamber for quite some time.
Although, I guess with DOTA2 coming up, they might have to actually do something other than release champs that cost 6300.

If that's true, that would be so ridiculously smart of Riot. New game mode to further distance themselves. Plus, I would come back and play it.

Looks like I fed pretty badly in most of those games. Sorry that you had to put up with that.
I tried out Tryndamere today, figured it would be pretty easy with the help of a guide.
.... Didn't turn out as I had planned. Got laned against a Tryndamere who was just plain better. Knowing what abilities and items he had, I couldn't really make a move as I knew he would win a fight if I initiated (ended up killing me a few times anyways). He basically snowballed after that.
Was frustrating to say the least.
