Indeed, but I would much rather have CLGaming rape AON than vice versa.
Reginald is such a giant douchebag.
I decided to try out Sivir for a change, since she's free now and all. First I got flamed to hell for picking her in the selection screen already, then my whole team picks physical melee carries after me. We lost terribly, and they blamed me.
... I guess you run have to run into people like this sometimes, but I didn't know picking certain heroes in a non-ranked game is suddenly a crime?

Yeah I was just in a match where Sivir ran the table. I put her in a single lane while I tried (and failed) to jungle and she owned shit.
I still lost the feeling of maybe playing a physical hero for a change, I thought her ulti might make her somewhat of a supportive dps something, yet I still found myself farming most of the game 
Think I'll stick to my tank/support types for now, had so much fun playing mostly Singed, Alistar, Janna, Soraka and Amumu, it doesn't feel like a farmfest and my teammates seem to love me when I do well with these too. I also found Fiddlesticks jungling terribly awesome, just SO fast it feels stupid (starting with an elixir of brilliance).

It takes all sorts, our last match had a person bitching non-stop because the Kayle and Taric on our TEAM were beating the utter shit out of the enemy together. They got called out for not healing that person enough ... :lol
Also, we had a Heimer who died to Eve 8 times and got no kills. What a world.

Sivir is good, but she's almost a support champ and is a complete team player. It's awesome to grab teleport + rally and just teleport to a random tower, drop rally and your ult, and drop the tower in a few seconds. Most champs can do that well later, but Sivir can do it very well very early.
Anyways, some people will bitch about any champ. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I've found that any time I play a support champ like Kayle or Soraka in a non arranged team people bitch at me for not healing enough or using Kayle's ult or whatever.
They expect you to dish out heals non stop and they do stupid shit because "oh hey I'll get healed". There is a limit to what I can do with a heal champ!

Both are great resources (Leaguecraft is for more advanced aspects of the game, though). The best advice I can give is play as defensive as possible and not get frustrated, especially if people are rude to you. You will learn things and get better, but it takes experience.

Had a good game with Tekno, bluemax, and EGM92 earlier. Was my best game in a long time. I personally went 20-2-12 with Veigar. I didn't even go a good build for Veigar, but it worked out okay in the end.
So I was off to an awesome start in this game:
But Riot's servers crashed and all but 1 got got disconnected. The opposing team only had 2 players reconnect and one of them decided to quit instead of wait 5 more minutes to finish.
I legitimately had an infinity edge 20 minutes in though

WOO PATCH DAY!
I like how the new hero, Galio plays. Hopefully the after the initial rush to play him decreases I can check him out and fully explore his potential. Out of all the hero's that were affected, only Taric was the one I play and it isn't that bad IMO.
Further nerfs to Heimerdinger makes him even less bannable and yet I bet he'll still be banned.

I started playing Teemo the past 2 days and was failing hardcore. But then it suddenly clicked and I absolutely raped in the last 3 games last night! I tend to get boots + 3 first, then go straight for the frozen mallet (so I can get some damage and the 25%->100% slow, but also as an excuse to buff the hell out of my meagre HP). Then I get the recursive bow and the vampiric sceptre, then the bow's upgrade (does the 40% armor pen) and wriggles lantern. Then I get a high damage item if I can to finish it.
I got good at predicting where people were going to run away to after team fights though lol. I started placing mushrooms at strategic locations around the map while my team was farming->assembling, and then after the team fights the 1 or 2 enemies that would manage to get away would explode on them like 10 seconds later :lol . This guy was raging so hard at me saying Teemo needed a major nerf.
Also, the last game I lost before that streak I died to a mordekaiser ult. The first thing my teemo ghost did was kill 2 of my allies and nearly kill a third. Team raged at me there but it was funny in retrospect (we were about to lose our nexus anyways).
EDIT: I think I'm going to swap my wriggle for a hextech gunblade
EDIT 2: I think I'm gonna try an AP Teemo with a Lichbane + Blind nuke and mushroom baiting

Does anyone like playing characters in weird/unorthodox ways? I'm not super competitive with LoL (yet?) so I decided to fuck around for a game and play attack speed Zilean instead of my normal AP Zilean. I did way better than I had any right to, and it was super fun. Here's the items I had at the end of the game, should I replace them for something else next time?
Berserker's Greaves
Sword of the Divine
Madred's Bloodrazor
The Black Cleaver
Malady
Last Whisper

Any hero with those items is going to do well. Madred's is an amazing item on any hero, so is Black Cleaver. You basically stole my build for Udyr minus Trinity Force.
Gragas is a fine hero?Macattk15 said:
Vlad is extremely good, not broken, but he's really high up there, ESPECIALLY on a team with something like Xin/Morgana.Leezard said:
Alone he's like decent but with a select few top tier heroes he borders on brokenness. The brokenness is the fact that he makes broken heroes more broken.

To be fair, his ulti is pretty much the only thing he can contribute to a team fight. The pool is nice for escape early in the game but later on any hero with a slow or some kind of move speed will get him. It doesn't deal much damage and uses up much of his health. Vlad's Q is nice for laning and to a certain degree poking but in a team fight it is near useless.
Lots of people who don't know what he does are saying he's OP, lots of people who can't play him say he's UP since all they do is waste hp by using pool. I'd say he is quite balanced, just a sort of nonsquishy caster in the end. When he's played like he is supposed to be, he can be a good resource for the team, just like any other hero that is played well.
I've seen people say this a few times now (here and other places) and I really don't get it.Archie said:
Looking at the last 8 champs released
Terrible:
Kennen
Kog'Maw
Bad:
Malzahar
Olaf
Good:
Vlad
Akali
Garen
Too Good:
Xin Zhao
In this case, 'Good' being properly balanced. Overall, they've released far more underpowered (Bad/Terrible) than overpowered champions. Especially since you could probably put Akali on the 'Bad' pile on release. She's gotten several small buffs since then. Maybe Galio will get added to the 'Too Good' pile, but even if he is the scales are still tipped to the underpowered side. And we'll have to give it some time anyways. Everyone was talking about how Vlad was super OP when they first saw him and on the first day when they didn't understand him at all, but he really isn't a big deal at all.
Edit: AP Gragas is amazing. Not sure why he's getting hate here. He can farm amazingly well, his body slam gives him great escaping or chasing power, he can dominate the laning phase against most opponents, he has amazing range and harass. He does pretty decent damage too. No he doesn't have as much burst as Annie or Anivia, but if he did he'd be the most OP champ in the game. He can still wreck face though.
Just played an epic match as AP Teemo with Ashe and Morg on twisted treeline vs. Vlad, Yi and Morg. Our Morg got disconnected at the start, so ashe and I were workin hard to defend. We did well though and got 5 kills before they got their first. They were takin advantage of the fact that we couldnt defend both lanes, but then bam our morganas back halfway thru! We got her leveled up quick and then we managed to push back handily and win the game (morg quickly was gettin kills herself ). Was a nice game to end tonight with.
I salute you ruhtard92 and Michida!
