Thank you kind sir. Sounds like I might buy Trynd for fun and possibly wait until free Olaf. Two last questions for now:Dance In My Blood said:
1. Is Tryndamere still good?
2. Are there any champions currently KNOWN to be in line for nerfs/buffs? I would prefer not to buy and practice someone if they're about to be nerfed. I'm a little interested in Nidalee too, but I couldn't remember who had a nerf in the near future.
1) Tryndamere can be strong outside of competitive play, but like some other earlier champions (think Kat) he can be easily countered by well timed crowd control.Blizzard said:
2) Off the top of my head:
Shen: Buff
Orianna: Nerf
Singed: Nerf
Nidalee just got nerfed so I doubt they'd nerf her more.
So Season one ends tomorrow finally. I tried pretty hard to reach gold, but the highest I got was 1460, then I lost like 5 straight games, so I'll have to settle for silver.
Excited for Riven and for the elo soft reset actually. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes me to get back to where I was (played around 200 ranked games). I wish Dominion was coming out this week though.

Blizzard said:That doesn't even sound like a fun troll team though. At any rate I can bring my PAX Sivir and Kiunch will run Eve, but I don't know anyone else on that tier. Maybe Janna?
IMO when i think of terrible troll champions I think of twitch and eve only. Those are the only two champions who I could never see a role for on a properly functioning team. Stealth is so potentially powerful early game that those champions are weak as hell otherwise, and given that stealth is completely useless against any kind of real competition and is useless in a late game team fight, they are overall pretty terrible champions.
Shaco is also a kind of shitty champion, but he could at least potentially have a role as an aggressive counterjungler with your boxes against certain champions that get low hp early while jungling. It's a very situational pick, but he has his uses.
Karma is a really oddball character that is hard to use effectively as a team, as she is AP/support who gets better when damaged, but a weak AP played conservatively shouldn't lose you the game most times.
Sivir is actually one of the strongest team fight characters in the game, and her split pushing is really great as well, she is just really weak and fragile on her own, so in a competitive situation she needs to be heavily supported or the other team is just going to gank the hell out of her early and you'll lose. That or you run her as pure support herself and you use a harder carry that doesn't need as much strong early game support. She is not very versatile though, as she doesn't fit into many different team comps, the team comps have to be planned around her strengths and weaknesses to be effective, which kind of limits her overall usefulness. Not like you can just plug sivir into any team comp and make it better, which you can do with a lot of champions.

Nunu's ult is so heartbreaking. Flash into perfect position, release, get stunned.

Oh cool they changed Riven's splash.
I figured they would if it got a response like Lux's. I like the current one alot better even though the BG is less detailed.
Also heads up ladyboy I'd fix your post before a mod sees. I got a month for letting a slur like that slip past my radar

Galio is a better version of nunu in every way aside from jungling (and nunu is only about 6-7th on the list of good junglers). Dunno why anyone would use nunu over galio.
Galio's ult is still cancellable, but at least half the team is taunted to keep them from being able to break it.

I am going to miss Fiddle and Galio being free at the same time.
I popped that ult combo a few times and it was devastating.
Also...the only champion I have literally never seen in game or on stream is Cassiopeia. Reading over her abilities she seems interesting but tough to use. Any thoughts on her?
Also...Amumu, Nunu, and Nocturne free this week. Time to learn how to jungle.

I look forward to dumping IP on Riven.
Also, I wish I would get the champion pack sooner than later. I'd love to be able to get most champions at some point, and this will definitely help me get there.

I like the face and the hair. :x
I in general like buffs rather than nerfs, I guess, but maybe they'll work out. Shaco though...didn't he get nerfed once before? I certainly don't feel like he's overpowering now, and he seems pretty difficult to use effectively. Unless they make him easier to use, I dunno how a change will work.
Dance In My Blood said:
Some Morde nerfs are probably warranted, but Morde isn't really OP because of his skills, he is OP because spell vamp is OP in conjunction with his skills and his passive. Makes him really hard to kill even without tank items.
It really depends on what they change though, he is in a very delicate position, if they nerf him too much, they may completely ruin his viability for any build other than AP/spell vamp build, which wouldn't be a good thing. He is already kind of forced to go that direction to be effective.
Also hard to nerf spell vamp, because it is already worse than lifesteal generally, so to do so would just make AD unquestionably better than AP.
This wasn't a good game per se since I really messed up mid with creeps versus teemo (behind in farm), especially once teemo and morde teamed up on me, and also because I got the vast majority of my kills because of amumu and the other teammates doing the initial damage.
I was told my build was a bad idea and I should probably focus on a bloodthirster earlier (though I know those can be bad if I die too much). I had farmed enough so I literally went shoes -> BF sword at the start.
It was still satisfying though, because I only died twice and it was close. We had a very questionable akali and master yi (note master yi's name). I think my first death was after killing a tower, and two enemies got me with basically no way to escape from the crazy Nasus slow. At the very end, we group pushed up to the two nexus towers, and took maybe one of them out before 2 of our team recalled to try to protect our own nexus. Most of the remaining team (3-4) had pushed all the way up OUR middle and I think took down the two nexus towers by the very last minute, but by that time I had managed to help kill the remaining tower and take out most of the nexus. I think master yi almost ruined it by bailing away from the nexus for a second and a couple of enemy champions came in right after that from spawn, but I kept autoattacking and they managed to kill me like a half second before veigar finished autoattacking the nexus for the victory.
When you win as little as me you have to celebrate, so please excuse the wall of text.

Who on your team told you your build was a bad idea blizzard?
because almost everyone on your team built awful items for their characters
Rule of thumb is if you can farm up an IE before 20 minutes you're correctly playing AD carry role.

some of the RIOT developers insists she is one of the strongest AP carries and definitely think she can inflict the highest single target damage for all champions. they plan on nerfing her, which is stupid since no high ELO players have done well with her. I believe Scarra plays her a lot in scrims.
the high damage she can inflict revolves around her nuke, Twin Fangs, which can literally be spammed once a target has been poisoned.
She's the highest sustained damage AP carry - basically her damage is like a ranged AD carry. She doesn't have the burst of top tier AP carries so she has to play pretty carefully in team fights because she can't just "blow her load and die". So she's strong, but I don't think it's comparable to your regular AP carry...
And if she gets nerfed I'll cry.

Morde needs a nerf, he can do too many things with so little farm.

Singed is basically a high power rocket leaving a poison trail. One of the most imba heroes in the game. I love him. I hope they dont nerf him too much since a good team can actually deal with Singed if they use their brains (sadly most people like to chase him, waste their ultis on him or like to run up to him solo before being tossed into the rest of the gangraping team).
