I play like 2-4 games a day, and I have a 50% win ratio.
And I'm terrible.
And I'm terrible.
I was exaggerating. It probably takes me a week or so to get 6300 IP if I waste my life away playing (like I'm currently doing). If you spend 4 hours a day playing, at an average of 150 IP per game, that's 4200 IP per week. So maybe my week estimate is low, actually. 4 hours per day grinding IP is crazy but perhaps realistic. Or maybe my average is off and even losses should average to 180-200 IP?FlightOfHeaven said:
I forgot to mention Galio. I assume he can tank pretty well, and he has a very useful ult so you can flash and then ult-taunt everyone and do damage. I tried using him way back when he was free. I suspect he's 6300 IP and green and ugly and thus no one uses him though.

Amumu, Rammus, Cho, Singed, Leona, Malph (who I don't like because his ult is so easily countered), Galio, Jarvan
There are probably a few that I'm missing but I will say that I'd rather someone just take a support or carry over a tank that doesn't have a way to initiate or "force" players to at least consider focusing him. One reason I don't care for tank Garen. Tanky DPS/Off Tank okay. Tank? Nah.
Ark said:
He's better since those changes last patch(or were those in a previous patch?). Not god tier tank like Amumu but acceptable in capable hands.

Weird request. Can someone point me to any matches where Rivington the 3rd is commentating?

Exhaust > Tryndamere
Honestly, I look forward to fighting Tryndamere. This is how my fights go.
Beat the shit out of each other
Tryndamere activates UNDYING RAGE
Jarvan IV uses EXHAUST
Tryndamere is out of UNDYING RAGE
Tryndamere uses SPINNING SLASH to escape!
Jarvan IV uses CATACLYM to catch him!
Tryndamere is now dead
Alt
Tryndamere uses FLASH to escape Cataclysm!
Jarvan IV uses FLASH or STANDARD + SPEAR combo to chase!
Tryndamere is now dead

Wait... that's all I have to do to get Jarvan IV's skin? Well, shit, can I get some GAFfers to help boost me to Gold?
Edit: Also, if I'm playing the Mac version today... that's cool, right Rayven?

On my quest to find videos with Rivington the Third, I happened upon some Dominion videos (he and Phreak are commentating). Holy shit...WANT. Dominion, too.
It looks so damn fun.

Wow, just lost to two gimmick teams. Jarvan solo v Soraka and Malphite is fucking bullshit.
The cry of only being able to play support.Ultimoo said:
Janna 7.6:1, Sona 8.3:1, Lux 9.2:1
Everyone else... far lower and I still can't carry games. You gaffers need to play with me more. Please ^_^
Though I just had a Nasus telling me about LeBlac having no end game. Same one who built a Bloodthrister. >_>

Dunno if you've already made your decision, but from my experiences, Eve/Twitch/any underpowered champ can do just fine in normal games. I'd go so far as to say that this applies even in ranked games, as long as you're not in the upper Elo levels(though this is mostly speculation).Ferrio said:
People read on the forums that x champion is broken/gimp/useless and -- having read/seen nothing to the contrary -- assume that this is 100% true and applies to all levels of play. In reality, who you play against and how firmly you grasp the basic, essential gameplay elements that affect every champion are going to be the deciding factors in most of your games.

What's so bad about Nomad? All I've ever seen him do is send a sand clone out to attack and auto attack afterwards. Although that could be just a case of me never seeing any good Nomads.
Mirage Strike does more damage than most nukes at the level 2-3, can't miss, can be used to juke, can draw fire from spells/tower and costs less than 100 mana.PoorFate said:
But that's his only major asset. Otherwise he's kind of a lackluster carry. He relies on snowbawlling using Mirage Strike early on.

Shen is probably the most tanky character in the game, ie the hardest to kill, but he does no damage at all. Galio is a great tank vs heavy AP teams.
Alistar and taric are great support/tank hybrids. Leona and maokai seem awesome, I don't own them though.
Amumu is a great jungle tank, a bit skillshot dependent, as you need to hit bandage tosses to get the best initiation, if you have another ranged stun on your team you can get great initiations off. Ashe arrow to a person in the middle of the enemy team, bandage toss the stunned champ, amumu ult to stick the rest of the team in place. Rammus is good, but not the easiest tank to effectively use IMO.
Blitzcrank, cho'gath and malphite are awesome hybrid tank/dps. All skillshot dependent to different degrees though.
Garen and Jarvan can be built really tanky as well if your team already has plenty of disables and damage.
I kept seeing minions just vanish/take damage in front of corki with some sort of brief white or blue flash, so maybe that was the same glitch? I dunno.broz0rs said:
I tried poppy a few times -- she seemed really fun to play, but for a 100% melee character she takes SO much damage. I was recalling like every two minutes.
As a positive side note, speaking of glitches, the crazy pixellated ground problems on my ATI 5850 seem to have gone away (they appeared when I updated my drivers for Deus Ex HR, I think), so I'm assuming Riot patched something.

Does Anivia have the best spell casting range in the game? That bird is so annoying to lane against mid.

I don't think she does. You have to get fairly close for your spells (E and ult) to trigger, which is kind of annoying.FutureZombie said:

I've never played her, but I have played mid against her in two games (one with Tristana, one with Veigar) and she out-ranged me very badly on both of them. I was able to kill her three times with Veigar, but I could never finish off the egg in time. So annoying.
