Didn't seem like too much of an issue to me when I played him. He isn't going to clear as fast as Yi or AOE junglers but he can keep pace. His Q is very spammable, so compared to other single target damage junglers he seems to be decent at clearing to me.

I really hope they do buff Shen. I remember when he was an auto-ban due to the strength of Stand United's shield.
Problem is, he's like a caster. Once he burns his abilities, you can safely ignore him for... 10 seconds? More? 10 seconds is goddamn forever, Shen is going to be left guarding a battlefield of corpses.

I'm not really sure what you mean. Vorporal Blade has a three second cooldown with no CDR. I feel like Shen does some pretty good damage, especially early game. Elementz put him in tier two on his most recent tier list.
Shen only generates 10 energy per second and Vorpal Spike costs 50-70 energy.

Not to mention that Blade isn't really effective CC of some sort.
I mean, if they buff it as planned, that'll be great. That, and the buff to his taunt would be amazing. He's really constrained by his energy requirements.

Can't say I'm really having the same energy problems. I usually find that I'm able to do what I need to on Shen.
He's a pretty alright champion who doesn't get a lot of play right now, but if the buffs go through I bet he'll blow up in terms of popularity.

!!! Awesome.
Same here, actually. But his abilities could definitely use a buff.

I think out of the hundreds of games I played solo I can remember about 4-5 of those losses being my fault. Either a bad call, a few in a row, or just playing shitty and feeding a carry early.
Every single other one there was either one or two horrifyingly bad players that managed to create a black cleaver vayne 13 minutes into the game and let us get rolled.
I rarely have a game where the entire team other than me is bad, but that does happen every 30 games or so.
Like a few nights ago, I was jungling and before I could even get a gank going every single lane died at least twice. Then I started ganks and they would retreat at full health as I went it and stupid shit like that. 25 minutes in I'm 0-0-0 and we have 1 kill and 26 deaths on the board and no one wants to surrender.

I'm 1519 with a high of 1561. A few things that really helped me push past the 1300 elo I was stuck in for a long time was learning to AP mid competently (Kassadin and Kennen mainly), learning to last hit at a tower and only lose 1-2 cs depending on the wave, playing the best junglers only (Rammus, Nocturne, GP, Udyr for me, Lee Sin and Shaco also work), and hoping to God I didn't get stuck on support with an incompetent team.

Ok, guys, I'm going to start writing an OT2, but I would like to share the work and the credit. I know that I'm not the best nor most knowledgeable player of us here, but I am a decent writer. If anyone would like to contribute, please quote this post to find the link to the Google Doc. If you are banned, I'll post it in the channel in the LoL client.
Is there a 10 image limit per post?

Has anybody tried a spell vamp rune build for Akali yet?

That's because I made it and ran out to lunch. I'll be working on it over the weekend.
Master Race jungler Master Yi. Atlanta is a cool guy.
For some reason this shows up in Chinese. Maybe that has something to do with me though.
They're going to refund dodge runes and then after some time remove the mechanism. You can re-purchase dodge runes in the window between the two events, but they'll eventually get refunded as well.

GAF should make its own Champion Tier list.

I'll work on a jungle guide for newbies or people looking to get into jungling and have that posted on the first page.
Tryn tier OP. That is all.
Also you could include a resources section with links to the following:

http://leaguecraft.com/

Always farm. Never gank.
CLG vs LC is really entertaining.
They're buffing his early game at the cost of his late game. His passive is getting a ratio nerf.

Seems Season 2 really mixed things up.

What sort of rune, mastery, and item set would you recommend for the jungle with him? Arpen red, armor yellow, arpen quints, 21/0/9, build wiggly lanterns?
That might presumably remove the possiblity of level 1 or level 2 fights with him though, and wasn't there some well-known player recently saying that at level 1 and 2 he is really strong for getting first blood?
It turns out that Pantheon is a Stanpar, and Stanpar anagrammed is Spartan! Shocking! And they are willing to fight when outnumbered! Like Spartans!
I don't play him, so I'm not really sure. It seems like everyone is using Atlanta's Pantheon build so if you want to try and look that up it might be around somewhere. I think he goes early Brutalizer on Panth for his build.

I've lost 18 of my last 22 games. So many people leaving the game. I don't know why people don't want bots to be able to take the place of leavers. Either have bots take their place, or just let end the game. 4v5 is miserable.

I just think that build is way too gimmicky. the build depends on counter jungling, which sucks balls if Panth doesn't get the kill. the fact that he's going QWQ is definitely an all-in counter jungle. It's really terrible for clearing. But I guess if players were to pick a counter jungle champ, Panth would be a decent pick since he can kill anyone lv. 2.
New masteries really did a trick on him. I even saw someone on TheOddOne's stream do well with him mid against different casters.
This is all I can think of when I start getting fed as Skarner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcQP0rD3D1A#t=3s
Roaming quad jungle too strong.

Isn't anything above 2 junglers overkill? Especially on the lower levels where you can get more xp (and gold) from a solo lane. Not that can argue against a score board, but two smites should have been sufficient, no? The other two could have been swapped with teleport.
On a totally unrelated note: I just went 9/1/7 mid with Cassiopeia against a 0/6/1 Twisted Fate and after the 20 minute surrender he said: "overfed cass, only way you can win". Didn't have comeback for that one.

The only time Ferrio helped jungle was to steal my blue. It was very disappointing.
