Lol, yeah I faced tristana and zorki top (that was me dizzy101). I still dont have a clue how to farm and last hit as melee vs 2 ranged. I think I'll stick with good ol' Morgana, or try to branch out into other AP ranged casters.
That nasus build must be somewhere from solomid or something. You get philosopher's, into zhurelia's, then merc threads, then tri force while also getting spirit visage I believe.
I think I've been at 199 wins for about four days. Partly I never had time for anything but a bot game, and tonight I lost three in a row. Here's my latest, where at least I was a medicore Riven. I had to lane against ranged Karthus and Graves so I was losing the tower really quickly, but Poppy came up a few times to gank.
Yes, Poppy, not Nocturne. Nocturne stayed in the jungle like ten minutes. They had a skin and seemed to be doing a good jungle route until I realized they didn't do much besides that. We finally surrendered, tied at 36 kills. I think we still had one inhib tower left, and we managed to kill one of their normal towers before losing.

Play defensively against her in mid even if that means tower hugging and wait for ganks/team fights to break out. You should still be able to farm at a level similar to her. She's a good 1 vs 1 character, but becomes useless with more targets around. That's also why you never see anyone play her at competitions. Her early game is strong, but she falls off later on. Riot refused to change this and make her more balanced throughout the game.
On a good win streak with Talon, he's pretty awesome
Sorry for the crap pic qualityI do notice the nerf that they did to his regen... but I don't believe that it's enough to warrant changing my yellow runes to mp5... I'd been thinking of maybe going half mp5 runes and half armor but I don't run into too many mana issues. Right now i'm running 9 armor pen reds, 9 flat armor yellows, 9 flat MR blues, and 3 flat AD quints. I'm currently running 21/9/0 for more resists. My reasoning is that I want as much early game dominance in the lane phase so that I can farm up my core (t1 boots --> brut --> BT) for mid game and dominate/win my lane. Anyone else have other set ups for talon that work?
He was "trying" something. He ulted and died a few times later on, I think. XDDance In My Blood said:
I just tried my first PVP Riven jungle game. I have like 13 armor penetration, but I had to use a ton of potions to jungle -- probably not a very good choice. I guess in theory enough armor or health regen or lifesteal runes (if those exist) could make it viable. I guess I should stick to laning, or play someone more useful.
It was win 200 since I got carried by my team (I was 7/2 but they pretty much all had more kills)...but it was scary. We started the game up like 21 kills to 2, they failed to surrender a couple of times, ended up getting BARON once, and we -finally- managed to push into the nexus after 55 minutes or so. Final kills were in the range of 50 to 30, but it was still way too close. Their Graves had 400+ minion kills and 18k+ gold.
Pretty sure armor pen. is good against enemy champions, not minions/creeps. Don't run armor pen quints in the jungle (this is why I told you to take HP/move speed quints). Don't feel bad about not being able to do well in the jungle as Riven, she clearly isn't built for that.Blizzard said:
According to this thread (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=505052) and probably others, armor penetration works both against minions and towers. So like, a jungle creep with 5 armor would have it reduced by armor penetration, something like that.Dance In My Blood said:
I plan to run two of the +24 Halloween quints once I get enough IP to buy another of them. Then I'll get the Halloween move speed quint if that's also a better deal than waiting for the tier 3 quint?
Everyone in that thread mostly just says ARP isn't great against enemy minions.Blizzard said:
Take it for your ganks as your reds, but don't use it for your quints too. You could probably wait for Christmas for holiday movespeed runes. They're non-essential.
I just like move speed. I don't die when people can't catch me. I can grab kills when it's easy to catch the enemy.bjaelke said:
Having an extra 50 HP can be pretty meaningless when you're sitting on HP pools of 2k, 3k, or even 4k. 3% or 4.5% movespeed can be big even in the late game.
78 HP with 3 quintessences - that's more than a 20% increase at level 1 as some champions start with ~350 HP. In my opinion that's essential for not giving away first blood or having to go back to base all the time. It's true that they wont matter towards the end, but not many champions can have a good late game without a decent start.
Just tried AS tanky dps graves
oh my god this is rigged
when they nerf him they're def gonna knock some of the extra armor/MR bonus
i hit 200 armor and 120 somethin MR with BV, Wriggles and GA then you got the armor bonus...
then slap on the health from BV and triforce, sell wriggles for BT
sustainable tanky ranged ad
yeah, here's a tip everyone. KILL HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. if he has those 10 gunslinger stacks he's going to be a BITCH to kill

Range- nerf on Caitlyn? Really?
:/
If they only chip some range out of Q, I'm fine with that, but if they touch her auto-attack range then I will be disappointed. It's pretty much the whole characters selling point, and the main reason she's been my favorite AD- carry since she was released.
It seems that whenever something gets popular in both tournaments and soloq, Riots balance team wants to nerf it somehow.

Yes.
Best game in a long time. Not that my score is anything special, but the way we turned the game around and won despite being one man short was just fantastic. We started out by changing lanes, so Ashe and I were at top vs Cho'Gath and Poppy alone against GP and Kennen (it was our punishment because he picked Poppy as our last hero and didn't want to solo). Credits to Poppy, he had 2/3/0 after the laning phase and was a big reason behind our victory!
I run one HP and two movespeed quints, so the health difference between me and someone who runs full HP quints is around 52. I almost never give away first blood and have a tendency to do well in my lane. I find it easy to dodge skill shots, and I can win in matchups other people take issue with. I can outlane Brand or Morgana as Annie because the movespeed gives me that extra opportunity to dodge their skillshots.bjaelke said:

Riot just put out a timeline out of LoL's dev cycle
http://timeline.leagueoflegends.com/
Pretty neat.

Yeah that's like the only thing that I can honestly call overkill on her. I wouldn't mind if they nerfed its range a little.Dipindots said:
Well, Caitlyn was pretty much my favorite character and it figures they nerf her too.
I thought Riot said that a main selling point of Caitlyn was range, and they want to get rid of that? She's super squishy so having to get in close would be crazy. And having the really long range on Q is important since it doesn't do much damage late game when everyone has resist, in comparison to autoattacks, and I've used it to kill someone escaping in the jungle before.
Apparently I was really terrible -- I got the most kills (but not most assists) with Riven, and one person apparently immediately deleted me from his friends list, and someone else immediately started another game without me, after inviting me to begin with.
