78k damage dealt isn't even enough for me to carry.
Please, someone help me.

Im gonna do some some experiments builds with swain tomorrow. Thinking Tear into AP to do more damage because RoA takes forever to build if you can't get ahead.
I would assume a spirit visage would be good with the 20% from all healing sources. otherwise I'd say it's pretty open besides RoA and Zhonya's are pretty core. situationally i'm sure abyssal, rylia's, liandry's, dcap could all be fine. I'm no swain main though so i'll defer to breezy for the final word. ha

Yeah RoA takes quite some time to be made, doesn't help that when I'm behind and I lose a match sa Swain...RoA was the only item I build =_=
However Tear into A. Staff costs more than Rod of Ages by 300 Gold, and while the mana build up helps, Swain benefits from being a little tanky even if it is a little amount of bonus HP from RoA.
If anything, don't rush catalyst and aim for the AP item, build catalyst 2nd then finish up your RoA.
Rylai is questionable! At max lvl., Swain's Q will apply 40% slow, but his other abilities will apply a form of slow otherwise.
However Rylai does offer a good chunk of HP and AP. Liandry is also questionable, IMO you should just settle for Void staff, however Swain's abilities are damage over time anyways @_@
idk i mean if you're going to go luden's cause you want keep up with people better I think rylia's would be way better, same ap, extra health, and at worst a 20% on up to 3 people from your ult.

Yeah I'll try out Rylai next time I play.
So Roa>Guise>Rylai.
I just wish Last hitting with Swain wasn't so difficult =_=

I find it pretty easy. Manage to get a a near perfect amount of CS in Toplane while dodging Nidalee's Spear once.
Also, do you know where you are gonna put Zhonyas? That is Swain's wild card right there.

I actually go MID Swain ^^; I'll try top though.

Yeah I'm intentionally staying away from climbing gold because I haven't played ranked in a while and I don't really want to tilt or be shit. I'll just wait and do it next season.

Top Swain is best swain. Don't be afraid of the juggernauts, you just have to mind your distance and mind what the enemy can do.

bro u gotta look like this
fuck me.
Kindred is really feast or famine in the jungle. When she snowballs she's going to wreck, even or behind and you're probably in trouble.
I think she has a lot of potential though. Gotta collect those marks. That's really important. I'd be interested to play her in normal drafts or ranked where my mmr is a little more normalized though. Blind pick hard to gauge.

Twisted Fate "Jaa Na" when he ults away and his voice actor is Dio.
Looks like I'm changing my language pack.

Refresh my memory; does Rylai apply a slow with abilities that empower their next auto attack?
When he gets a Penta kill he yells WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Damaging abilities apply the Rylai slow, so Jax' Q, W as well as his on-hit proc from his ult all apply em.
Does Swain really needs a Rylai though? He has a targeted slow already lol. I would at least recommend Zhonya's as one of the later items on Swain, because he can heal up using his ult during the Zhonya's, while not using any mana. :d Swain also needs some mana or mana regen to keep his ult up right?

Man the JP voices look great. Can't wait to ditch the english voices.

Rylai will apply on his OTHER abilities and his ult will slow them with it.

Brought the Kench to ranked.
It felt weird playing him defensively in support rather than aggressively out of the jungle, but was still lots of fun.
Outdamaged our Riven :lol

funny thing is I cant recall having to deal with this in HOTS. Ever. AI takes over for the disconnected player. Also, the active players can ping the AI-controlled player and get them to follow objectives. Sadly, bot is superior to some stubborn players in the lower levels especially
HOTS is such a casual thing- it can be played alongside another moba easily
Also LoL just seems kinda flaky. I think my old video card was going bad. But only in LoL did I crash. Every so often, it would crash as soon as the match started. Luckily I had a spare video card that was just as good as the old one so installed it. But that was annoying. I tried to check my local LoL logs but mostly just saw the same errors as you would normally see (such as cannot load xxx.asset). Wish they'd clean up their logs. That might help people resolve their crashes and d/c
edit-> Here's an example of LoL's useless R3D log:
This is for a match that played perfectly fine. I wonder how would someone ever be able to troubleshoot their crappy LoL with all these issues? I guess the trick is you search for the errors right before you crash or get d/c.

I'd rather have a 4v5 than a bot lol
Played with Caitlyn (?) while she was on free rotation. It's so nice being able to play an adc that doesn't rely on skillshots. I see why she saw some recent popularity in Worlds
Still haven't played with Jinx yet even though I've owned her for a few weeks.
And LOL! Seeing lots of Cosmic Kassidin running around. he's actually quite deadly to adcs once he gets upclose. I ended up adding on magic resist item to Cait so I could survive his pursuit

half of Caitlyn's abilities are skillshots

Well caitlyn is at least considered the beginner's adc right? One of those skill shots aren't usually used to hit people but to get away.

That's a myth. It's actually the opposite.
Yeah I was referring to her dmg dealing abilities as killatopak noted.
Ok off to work. Try not to check neogaf while I'm there so I can feel productive lol. But will catch up on posts later after I get home (if there is any replies)
<edit> Thanks you guys for your advice on Leona build. Over the weekend I played 3 matches and did smashingly well. Only lost 1 match but that was because my kid knocked over my computer and caused me to reboot. So missed like 10-12 mins

Trist has a nice kit for beginners yeah, but you really need to practice farming with her because of her E passive.
I'd say Corki is by far the easiest ADC in the game to learn alongside Graves.
