Do I buy Lulu or 3 AD quints and 3150/4800?
I'm using Armor Pen quints in all of my pages still.

Who uses those?
Late game focused AD carries.
Who do you play? I don't know about singed, but if it's 1v1 top lane, cho, gangplank, yorick, or a good yorick should shut down riven. Talon or anyone else with a silence, or vlad, or morgana might also work.
He only wants to play the matchup as Poppy.
i was thinking about that.
since lifesteal nerf, lifesteal quints seems are a lot more valuable than before.
Oh, as someone who mains Riven, my advice is not to do that.
If you must go Poppy versus Riven, I guess get mercury treads and try to wait until the stun goes off farming minions, which will give you a chance to possibly dash and hit. Or, if Riven is playing conservatively and gets close to walls on their turret side, you might have a chance to stun. Most everyone has more HP than Riven.
Ranked is just making me sad now. I went jungle pantheon, got a quadrakill, went 15/7/16 and we still lost. A single mistake loses the game almost every time -- 2-4 turrets and inhibitors go down so fast.
Panth isn't a carry and starts to lose a lot of effectiveness late game.
1)Play a real jungler.Ranked is just making me sad now. I went jungle pantheon, got a quadrakill, went 15/7/16 and we still lost. A single mistake loses the game almost every time -- 2-4 turrets and inhibitors go down so fast.
2)End the game early if you take early game champs.

Been playing really well today. I like that.
8-0-7 Topdyr -- Win
3-4-18 Viegar -- Win
5-2-10 Karma -- Win

Supposedly pantheon is a great 2k ELO jungler, and I'm clearly a great 2k ELO player.
What suggestions are there for good all-around junglers who can carry the game and are unlikely to be banned? I am trying to save up 6300 IP to try to learn Lee Sin again. When I tried him before, he seemed like the most difficult champion I had ever played, and I was unable to do damage except with his ult. But, I would like to give him another chance if he is still good.
Ideally, I would like to have two ultra strong not-usually banned junglers who can carry almost every game so I can choose between them in case one is banned. =)

once you get used to alistar. you end up loving him. don't worry about mobility too much, i myself like to build cool down boots with AP/Tanky items but then again, i am only level 25.

My buddy jungles the 1st two a ton when we duo quo, and he does well. I like Noc a lot, but it's not as easy as when he had the longer leash on his E.

Shaco gets banned a ton in my games though so I didn't mention him. Might just be me though.

Banned every single ranked game. In my opinion it's almost time to stop banning him though.

This sounds like a team effort (so at least you guys cooperated on something!). Crappy teammates are never fun, but going AFK is rarely considered acceptable.

yea, i don't get the big deal. i mean yea, he can play some mean mind games, but besides that he just like any other char. i get the reason to ban karthus but not shaco.
Jazzy Network

What? Seriously? Shaco gets banned because he's one of the best jungle gankers and he can solo dragon and counter jungle hard. Not many junglers can do that if any. Low level to mid level people won't be able to stop Shaco if he knows what he's doing.
Complex Shadow
Cudi Lame
oh common. how many people actually know what they're doing when playing shaco.

Feels good = carried a 4v5 game as Vayne, 28/7/9. Chased by Amumu and fed MF, killed MF, bro Ashe stunned Amumu from across the map, I kill Amumu too.
Feels bad = replay corrupted. It just crashes on the loading screen.

A decent amount. It's not that hard.
There are plenty of bad Shacos, but against a good Shaco, it's just not worth the risk that your team can't handle him, ESPECIALLY at low ELO.
Leblanc is in the same situation as panth though. She's gotta dominate so hardcore early game that they just give up.
Difference is that Le blanc can actually win games because her ganks are real strong. Go bot and 2 shot the ad carry = free dragon
Panth has that early game but if your opponent is smart then they'll just dodge the ulti. Panth ganks aren't that good too unless they run straight up to you for a stun.
You can play Sion or Akali. A lot of the high elo players played these 2 champs in the beginning of season 2 to easily win and get a high placement on the elo ladder. The reason is that they can easily secure kills when junglers gank and can snowball very well.
Poppy too good

Udyr, Skarner, Lee Sin are probably your best bets.

This.
I am not really afraid of that many champs in this game in solo que, but of the ones that I am I'd rank them like so:
1.) Shaco
2.) Kassadin
3.) LeBlanc
4.) Rammus
Any of these, in the hands of a good player, will proceed to crap all over your team.
Shaco is only an issue if you can't get to the late game or he managed to give his team all the kills, but he can make at least two members of your team useless with constant ganks.
I hear a few weeks ago that Shaco is really popular with the Korean players for this reason.
I usually cho top. I don't see how he shuts either one down. Go in for last hit, riven gets all 3 q's on you and stuns or singed just toss you into poison. I guess I should go for Regrowth Pendant as a starting item but man they can zone me out. I will probably pick up Kennen for these two match ups.
In other news, last game I carried as Sona going 8/1/20 lol. I'll say it again, dat power chord!

smh at karthus not being number 1. and good karthus can change the flow of a fight so easily.

Dignitas plays in ggChronicle.... as Shaco, Brand, Leona, Blitzcrank, and Lulu. Dat team lineup.
Teach me to play poppy! =(
I don't own Akali (or Skarner for the jungle suggestion). I do have Sion though, and I actually used to play a good bit of AP mid Sion. Would you suggest AD Sion top instead? I played with a couple of GAF people yesterday and he went against Shen top, ended up being able to do virtually anything he wanted since he had 585 AD and the ludicrous ult lifesteal, and we were not generally able to burst him down quickly enough.
And thanks for another Lee Sin vote, lazor. I shall plan to learn him next.
*edit*
As much as I hate giving anyone advice against Riven, even I, who don't play Cho much, went Cho top when I had to lane against a Riven, and I seem to recall shutting her down in lane.
I would say start shoes or doran's ring, though regrowth does sound good for philo stone. For the first three levels just play passively until you get all of your abilities and a reasonable amount of mana. Then try to hit Riven with a Q or a W. It's even better if you get to the level of the bush so you can do Q silently. Landing the Q is great, but it takes a lot of mana early so do not spam it too much unless you can kill some minions with it if you miss Riven.
A big thing is to bait the stun and/or silence her before she can do it. Silence is the #1 awful thing for Riven since everything depends on her abilities. A second thing is to have merc treads so it only lasts like 0.35 seconds or whatever. A third thing is to remember that you are Cho'gath and will end up having like 1000 more HP than her by level 6-10, and ideally by the time you get rod of ages you may simply be able to walk into her turret and kill her with the ult.
For Riven, you'll need a ton of armor. Get a bunch of armor runes and start cloth armor/5 potions. Poppy is surprisingly effective with a full armor runepage against Riven.
Singed needs to be beaten up early. If you can't do it alone, you'll need a jungle gank. Keep pressure on him hard whenever he tries to get farm. He's really weak early and the list of champions he can 1v1 is short. If you can deny him early farm he'll be pretty useless (that is, until you ignore him to go do team objectives and he sits top and farms all day anyway)

Cho'gath's got the best sustain of all the solo-top champions. He'll turn any match-up into a farm lane. Pretty difficult to win your lane outright, but even harder to lose.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I got matched up against one of those the other day. Was not fun.
My team fed the shit out of them and refused to build Maldreds.
Are Madred's really that effective against champions with high magic resist? It seems to me like you would need madred's and void staff.
I like Cho'gath, but my problem with him as a tank is that his stacks punish him for dying, which kind of lowers your desire to charge in and tank all the damage since it's going to take you quite a while to build the stacks back up.
It feels a bit odd to me, like Taric with his passive that encourages autoattacking.

And Ashe's passive, which discourages attacking at all.
I honestly don't get that one.
