Halloween runes are great. I'm gonna finish my caster page finally after some dominion grinding.

So I have until the 31st to buy the runes. Hmm... I was saving for a new rune page...
Since I'm pretty ignorant of the whole rune metagame or whatnot, what is the advantage of holiday runes? Are they just a better deal than other runes even though they're tier 2? Are health quints (for instance) a good idea if I'm just wanting one or two general rune pages that work for most champions?

Health quints are great, they work for anyone doing anything.
Halloween runes are like 450IP for a +85% whatever while normal quints are 1050IP for +100%.
Just a great deal.
What I did was buy 3 health quints and then fill in my red blues and yellows for jungle, ad, and ap.
Now I'm getting the quints for each.
Yes, holiday runes are just super cheap and nearly as effective. Health quints are a very strong general rune. Everyone wants to live longer, and those times you walk away with just a few HP you'll have your HP runes to thank.Blizzard said:
I am pretty partial to movespeed runes though. They're good both offensively and defensively, but their usefulness is obviously going to be diminished in direct confrontations.

Movespeed are too pricey imo but they're great.

I've been insulted more playing LoL during the last 3 weeks than in every other area of my life over 26 years. When will online gaming begin to divide the player base up by age? I want a 25+ matchmaking option.
Maybe the insult are coming from adults, but I would bet the majority of the people that ruin the community are teenagers.

Not really interested in playing a champion where I handicap myself like Riven. I have a lot of character to jungle with, I just prefer to have to at least pay attention to what I'm doing. With Warwick I can literally just look around at whatever I feel like on the map while I'm killing a camp.Blizzard said:The easier the better! Q occasionally. I need easy champions.
*edit* I just realized that jungle Riven is perfect for you. Buy her, press lots of buttons in the jungle, and thank me later.
I haven't seen him too much in lane at higher levels. WW's place usually ends up being top, and I don't really see him as a very good match up for the opponents who usually take top, but I'll still see some strong ones every once in awhile. I have a lot of champs I run top already between Nasus, Cho, Yorick, Gangplank, Jax and Morgana, who are all really fun to play. I should probably take WW into lane, but it's kind of hard to choose him over the other options I have available.cdyhybrid said:I like him, but I play him in the lane since I don't have runes for super-effective jungling. I get some mana regen early on and spam Q. Work my way towards Wit's End and Bloodrazor later on.
Disclaimer: I am low level and only play pubs
Graves is insanely fun, after all the ranged ad champs I've played this one finally clicks, best so far was 24/1/12 i think, too lazy to look at the profile. Hes a beast, but I'll bet his passive gets nerfed a few seconds. It builds up very fast in all fights, even farming minions..

http://www.twitch.tv/anidav It's time for some ELO Hell streamin'
So last night played some Coop vs AI, mainly played as Soraka since everyone in my rooms were taking melee/mages, figured someone should play a support role.
What a blast, ended like every game with 1-2 kills, 3-4 deaths, and 15-19 assist. haha
Safe to say I'm hooked for a while. Ashe and Soraka are still the only two I'm good at playing though. I was horrid on Cho'Gath.
EDIT: By the way, if anyone wants their own personal Soraka following them everywhere my summoners name is Watari13.

First normal game of the day (patch his EU West today too):
Me & my friend pick Caitlyn & Alistar respectively, some guy insta-locks Graves and someone picks Kog'maw and Irelia. Then Kog changes to jungle fiddle saying 'I've never jungled before'.
Not taking the risk, dodged like a ninja.

I dunno, I had fun. Of course I've only played like 5 games now, 3 were coop vs ai, the other 2 or 3 we me and bots vs bots. Just trying to find a champion I like before trying other players I guess, since I'm like 2 years late to this party.Deadly said:
Either way, it was still fairly fun.
My friend and I were matchmaking with our other level30 friend when we started :lol Just have to find a hero you enjoy and play well and you're good. I guess going through a guide and getting tips is good.Wrekt said:
Gets boring always playing the same hero though. I've tried some of last week's free ones and didn't really enjoy. Think I'm more of the support type. Whoever suggested Soraka to me, thanks. I definitely enjoy playing her. I heard her CD was nerfed bad though, it takes so long to heal.
Holy f*ck Morgana, Katarina and Alistar is a dangerous combo. First Morgana flashes in and uses her ultimate on as many enemies as possible. Then Alistar flashes in and stuns everyone with pulverize so they stay in Morgana's ultimate for the entire duration and thus gets stunned for a longer period. Katarina follows immediately after Alistar with her Death Lotus and secures another(!) penta kill. Morgana's Black Shield and Alistar's heal helped keep her alive on both occasions.

I can't get over how good Graves is at he does.
Mid-range skirmisher is so fun
At long range he can't do anything except maybe hit you with blowback from ult, and if you get too close his dash is way too vulnerable to get out of anything, but his Q will do more damage.
Just an all-around great champ with a great kit.
I'm running him with movespeed quints and it works great. Being that his game is so centered around keeping the enemy the right amount away, I think he really does need the extra MS

What do you mean by viable? Easy to play or best at high competitive play?
Mister Wilhelm said:
The "best" junglers I guess. I'm not bothered by a learning curve, learning the best part. Jungling is the only thing I haven't really had a chance to try and I'm raring to try it so I don't have to lane with the morons I sometimes get in soloQ.

Amumu is almost always banned in the draft pick games that I play

I'd say Nocturne, Lee Sin, Udyr, and Amumu are probably the strongest characters that can jungle.
Rammus is very good as well.
Gangplank I'm not so supportive of after the nerf. Had a few games with him last night and didn't feel as good.
Not sure about Skarner post-buffs. Haven't seen any.
Trundle is making a good case for himself as of late.

Probably Udyr. Lee Sin just got a few slight nerfs but he's much harder to use imo.
Amumu hasn't been touched in a long time but he's pretty boring to use to me.
Talon is OP after the nerf? Anyway he's 6300 so he doesn't count.Achtius said:Talon, he just got nerfed so probably wont' get nerf anytime soon
She got nerfed too, and I think I've mentioned this a few times -- I used to be okay with her, but almost invariably the last 2, or 4, or 13 times I've used her, I've been terrible. I save the stuns for champions so I end up not farming much, when I use the full combo on enemy teams I only do 25-50% damage and then I get killed and no one dies, I'm useless endgame except to stun, that sort of thing.Cheeto said:
Udyr seems effective but I know someone who uses him.
Play with whoever you want... most likely you need to get better at things not related to the champion you're playing. Map-awareness, game sense, farm, etc
It's the same mentality in SC2, if you can't beat a 4-gate as zerg, you don't switch to Terran, you fucking learn how to scout and defeat the 4gate.

Rammus is a very specialized jungler. I wouldn't take him as your base jungling character.
I'm not sure I would say she was nerfed. Her AP ratios were buffed then brought back down a little. Pretty sure she's still stronger than she was before the buff.Cheeto said:
