Do you guys know of a good Xin build? I usually follow one of the guides on Leaguecraft, and build him more tanky with phage, zeal, randuins, banshee's veil, then atma's. This usually works alright for me. However I played with a dps Xin last night that did amazing. He went zerk greaves, black cleaver, ghostblade, last whisper. He would charge in and kill people before they came out of stun. I think I'm going to give it a shot tonight.. but what do you guys typically build him as?
Depends on how you want to play, if you build glass cannon or in this case glass polearm you will either dominate or get destroyed. It will all be about your positioning in the fight and how good the other team is at stunlocking and destroying the damage dealers.
Glass cannons do really well against uncoordinated teams that focus fire tanks just because they are the closest enemy.

I build Ghostblade, Brutalizer, Omen and spend the rest for survivability. You'll hit CDR cap with those items be able to have your ult up every 30 seconds. You can pull off Three Talon Strike twice in a duration of Battle Cry with the Ghostblade active.
I play pretty reckless with him. I'm go in like a cruise missile - Ult and if I live, let the team pick up the scraps.:lol
Swain is just really terrible. He can't do shit damage at range due to poor scaling ratios and against a good team he will be destroyed when he uses his ult up close. You might see a Swain with decent stats in a game, but that is just because he runs in with his ult after the team battle is already won and mops up the remaining kills.

I might try a wacky tank Kennen build using cooldown reduction and aura items for mass stun and run. I think I can do well with it assuming I have a competant team.
I am often the last person to pick champs so I am curious what is the most balanced team composition if you are playing with randoms that you don't know the skill level of. My thoughts are AD carry, AP carry, tank, off tank (tanky support or tanky damage), and support. Thoughts?

Usually 1 main tank, 1 support/off tank, 1 jungler especially if they have a jungler, 1 range carry, and 1 ap. Could probably replace the jungler with whatever you're missing if they don't have a jungler.
Just had an irritating game where we had a Twitch on our team get fed, but instead of using that to our advantage and winning, he'd purposely prolong the game and go off on his lonesome, farming and ganking. Even after the rest of our team urging him to push with us, it eventually ended up in failure. As the other team held off long enough until they could simply find twitch and gank him and own us 4v5.
The true sign of a noob is when someone gets his first taste of 10/0 and doesn't want to use it to ace a team and end the game.
/sigh.

I think Galio is pretty overrated. Yeah, his passive is pretty good and he has nice lane pushing/farming capabilities. But his cooldowns are way too long to give him any significance in a team fight (You blow your QWE, and then pray for the best) and his ultimate can be easily interrupted.
Instead, play Amumu. His ult is better, his damage persists throughout the teamfight, he can initiate a thousand times better, he can save asses better, and most importantly he can jungle.

I have no clue about DotA, but HoN's current metagame revolves around ganking and trilanes. You put three heroes (one carry and two support) in a lane and have two people solo the other lanes to gain levels quick and work on ganking so that the other team's carry can't get too fat.

In HoN you can go up to Lvl 25 and it's pretty common to end a game without anyone reaching that point (at least it rarely happens in DotA). If a carry gets fed, he'll not only have a huge advantage gold-wise, but possibly a 5 to 6 level difference. He'll basically be able to take a whole team.
Carries in HoN/DotA shit all over carries in LoL.
Take Chronos for instance.
Picture Xin if you will, he can jump into you and everyone at the end of his jump is slowed for a few seconds. Except his jump has 700 range starting out, 1300 range at max level, goes through obstacles and can be targeted in any direction.
Then instead of knocking you up he has a passive that stuns you every 5 hits he gets on you.
Instead of some silly attack speed boosting ability, he has a passive that has a 25% chance to heal back ANY amount of damage he takes so long as it doesn't kill him outright.
His ult?
It creates a 500-600 radius field that puts everyone within its range under stasis, except himself. he can run around his time warping zone to bash your face in.

The ironic thing is that my LoL screen name is actually Chronos. I picked that during the beta of LoL without any idea of HoN. I seriously get flamed in about half my games because they complain about how OP Chronos is, and then take it out on me. I just laugh.
*I picked a random Greek/Roman god name and went with it.
Alright, since the announcement of DotA 2, I'm itching to get into a DotA-like. Since I don't have WC3, League of Legends seems like the obvious choice. The only problem is I'm getting this when I try to launch.
I've tried everything under the sun I can think of and what I've seen through Google. I forwarded ports on my router, disabled P2P traffic on DotA's launcher (I live in a University dorm that blocks P2P traffic), made sure TLS 1.0 was enabled. Still I end up with this. Am I pretty much screwed or is there something else I should try? If it looks like I'm screwed, then it looks like I have to lug my computer to my girlfriend's apartment with her 1.14 Mb/s connection every time LoL updates.

Ruby Crystal -> Phage -> Ninja Tabi -> Zeal -> Phantom Dancer -> B.F. Sword -> Black Cleaver -> Giants Belt -> Frozen Mallet -> Last Whisper -> Infinity Edge.
Give it a try, it makes my Xin sick.
And I know I shouldn't complain since the game is free but goddamnit, do the servers really have to go down every week?
They have a higher potential OPness, is what I'm saying.Archie said:
Besides that applies both ways, saying "well you should just gank him" is dismissing that they might gank your carry.
Anyone is a pushover if you gank them consistently enough.

I would help you if I could dude, but I'm not sure what's going on. Not my area of expertise. If you really have to lug your computer to your girlfriend's house to update, it's probably not worth it. There are patches every two weeks and slight tweaks randomly throughout to fix glitches.
