The (still, even after repeated nerfs) very good AP ratios on her Q and ult make her dish out some serious burst damage. Hell, the first half of Morgana's ult alone only does 50 points less damage than Lux's ult and has a slightly better AP ratio.
Her pool is also deceptively strong. Just snare someone in it or pop it after the snare and you can really do a lot of damage. I'm surprised people are saying they can't stand near opponents as her. Her built in spell vamp lets her take a decent amount of damage compared to other heroes.

and the most rewarding, if you are karthus, or infuriating ult if you are on the other team, ult in the game. "Oh hey, its a team fight. we just aced the other team and all got away with 200 health each. Oh shit, what are these red lines over our heads? PENTA KILL! I fucking hate karthus." LOL nothing like a double ace. so hilarious.

This is true but I think he's one of the more balanced characters in which he's consistent throughout every phase of the game. No changing roles like Garen or Urgot who become tanky/support later on.
He's just bruising errday.
For all the talk of a horrible community around these games, I haven't encountered any. Infact everyone has been really helpful.
There was one guy who called me a noob when I died but that's nothing and I just responded with 'Correct'
I imagine that will change once I get into PvP and ranked games.

PvP is a different ball game.
I have found that, little by little, this game is making me into a dick in game.

About Orianna... I'm using her very often lately, and for some reason always winning games, but I'm not sure about a good item build.
I usually build her with RoA, ionian boots, deathcap and then I go on stacking more ap... maybe a Rylai could be good?
Also, wrecking lanes with Soraka is fun, but I think she will be nerfed again, sigh.

And you have tendency to express your inner rage in mumble. =P
On the other news unrelated to Dragon Rage, MF is really really fun, but I hate that she doesn't have a build in escape or some sort of stun. Bullet rain isn't enough to save my life =/

Had some guy playing Mord on the other team in bottom lane when I was with a bunch of GAF guys, they managed to get a gank off on us quite early and he kept posting 'hahahahaha' in the chat.
Needless to say he remained quiet for the rest of the game when we started dominating.

Hi Guys.. This is DGG01 at US server.. I believe I played with few other gaffer yesterday too.. nice to meet you all.. ^^
I did my first 3v3 matches last night. The map was a little weird but honestly we really liked it. It's not a 2 minute journey from top to bot like in Summoners Rift which really picked the action up. I figured the top lane would be where most of the 2v2 happens since Dragon is up there, but most teams sent 2 to the bottom. Problem is I was Malzahar and was destroying them down there so they kept lane swapping and losing out on xp. By the time they found a lane situation that might work for them, I was already 4 levels up with 3 end-game items.
The only thing I don't like is the placement of the final tower in comparison to their healing pad. Ranged champs were almost standing in the death-beam zone and blasting our melee and there was pretty much nothing we could do about it.

I've picked 1 champion of each type that I regularly play. Malzahar is my AP carry and my strongest overall champ by far. In a pug situation when we have a jungler, I love taking Malz up to solo top and pushing them back to their tower 2v1 while simultaneously getting every single last hit on creeps without even being in auto-attack range. I've never seen him in a championship match, as I guess his lack of reliable CC is a problem, but he feels really strong to me.SamVimes said:
My big problem with Malz is that he makes weird noises. I'll be mid versus him, and suddenly he'll go BURBLE KAPOW BURBLE KAPOW BURBLE KAPLOWWWWW and my brain will just freeze up and I'll run away not knowing what's going on or how hard I'm going to die. I also feel like his attacks hit very quickly so it's really hard to shield or predict them.
Important question: Is there any reasonable way to counter Anivia mid? She has stun AND slow, and her ice spike thing hits super hard (25%-50% damage?) if you're slowed or stunned, and once she has her ult it seems like she can completely zone you out unless you like walking into the middle of that.

My biggest problem with Malz revolves around using his W (the void zone on the ground.) Without a snare or a stun, it is way too easy to move out of it. It's also has a really expensive mana cost. Pretty much the only time I cast it is directly before I ult, which is a suppression beam that allows me to keep them in that zone. If I have some extra mana, I'll also cast it on the larger creeps like golem and dragon.
It's not a terrible move but it really makes it feel like I have 2 ults and 2 regular abilities.

Dodge her Q and do your best to poke her. If she consistently lands that stun on you, you're fucked. But she's also super squishy and super slow and mana hungry. If you can dodge the stun and keep her from getting that pick off, you'll be okay. A good Anivia is a challenge to lane against with a squishy.Blizzard said:
Total noob here, I started playing around with the game just over a week ago without ever playing any DOTA like game.
I'm trying to get a feel for which hero I want to play, and last week I was able to setup some bot-only matches to mess around. However, last night when I tried it was telling me I needed at least two players for a custom match. Did they change something?

You should jungle fiddle. Get a Doran's Ring, start at blue, ask for a leash. Press the drain button. If you can't get a leash start Wraiths or Golems. I am pretty big on starting at enemy wraiths and going to your wolf then your wraiths if you're playing a champion that isn't starting at blue.Achtius said:
That's pretty much all you need to know to jungle Fiddlesticks.
Someone attacks a jungle mob before you do so it runs after them, so you can spend a long time wailing on it while it runs after them without taking any damage. It's best done on blue buff over the wall by whoever is going mid. They just run away and you get a big head start jungling.Ferrio said:
Occasionally, presumably when server loads are really high, they don't let you play one-person-only custom games. It should come back, I'm guessing.Struct09 said:
This is when someone (such as the player who is going to be top or mid) attacks a monster once or twice and runs away before they can be hit. The monster that was hit will go RAWR and try to hurt that player for a second or two or three before it gives up, allowing the player who actually wants the buff to do more damage without getting hurt.Ferrio said:
At least, I think that's the theory. It's especially useful on the blue golem since that thing does a lot of damage to low-level players.
If you do queued co-op vs. AI games (not custom, BASIC level AI), you should hardly ever lose, so you really don't need to worry about trying new champions there.Struct09 said:
It's your choice though, of course.You might lose a low-level basic game if you have 2-3 players literally suiciding to 10-15 deaths, but as long as you are cautious you should be OK. If you have at least one decent AD carry and one other decent player, that should practically be enough to carry a team vs. basic bots.
Sorry for all these questions, but what does GAF think of Irellia? What's her real purpose in a match? Whether it be public or pre-made.
Irellia, Lux and Caitlyn were 3 of the champions I really wanted. Lux is by far my current favourite and Caitlyn is a fun back-up.
It would be nice to get into a team fight and not be super squishy (not that I die often as Lux anyway).

She is a half bruiser half carry. Her purpose in a team is to identify one target, hang around in the periphery of fight until she sees an opportunity, then going with all her skills at once. Once her target is down, she can either go for another target or back up if no suitable targets present themselves.
A farmed Irelia can also be an initiator. Her passive makes it difficult to lock her down, so she can go in, draw fire, then run away, then go back in again once their attention has been diverted elsewhere.
