Wait for a fourth potion in the fountain -- is this a strategy I'm not familiar with? Most of the time the jungler would want me leashing for them...will waiting for a potion require top to leash instead?
So I just started playing this game in the past couple of days due to a friend's insistence.
What are some good resources for complete noobs?
Securing your jungle and giving your jungler a strong start is more important. Waiting at the fountain for an extra health pot is usually a top lane thing.
Huh, that guide seems to suggest it without any explanation. Is the author a well known Katarina player?
Buying champions with RP when they're not on sale is dumb.
The value proposition of paying full price for champions is terrible. You are getting ripped off if you buy champions for 975 RP.
I got a support reply when I did this saying that they're not allowed to do this anymore.
I don't really see it being that big of an issue with the large number of increments you can buy points in starting at $5.00. The only piece of LoL that feels anti-consumer to me is the Rune Page system.
I understand why you're taking a stand, but in the end it's just a personal quest. You're going to buy RP in future, so the remainder doesn't exactly matter does it?
I'm not as irrationally irritated as I may sound. It just bugs me and is actually preventing me from spending more money. I have Dota 2 for now and instead of playing more LoL when I get bored of my owned champs, I've been jumping back over there. If I could, I'd just buy Nocturne and spend a few days dicking around as him, then I'd buy somebody else full price and do the same. But since I feel like I'm getting shafted, I'm just holding out. It's not a huge deal though--just something I dislike about games.
He's actually probably my favorite support and he can presumably jungle too, though as a ganker rather than a tryndamere style damage carry. It's fun to punch people around the battlefield, and I tend to forget how tanky he gets with his ult and some defensive items. One main thing is to be careful not to waste mana attempting the dash-knockup combo unless you're pretty sure you can land it. Ideally you probably want to knockup someone and then punch them back into your team (assuming your team isn't low).
Easier to do with the new jungle, especially if you take someone like Warwick or Fiddlesticks. You can try out running through it in a custom game with just yourself in it to get a feel for farming it. Harder thing at lower levels is that your solo lane vs. two won't always hold their lane well, and you probably won't get a decent leash.
When someone pulls aggro from a jungle mob by attacking it before the jungler. Then the jungler gets free time to do damage on it without taking any damage themselves.
Sure. Leashes from mid lane are usually better. You can jungle fine without a leash on certain champions, but if you have a stronger start it makes early ganks much easier. Also, if you're the only jungler in the game at low levels take advantage of that and steal the buffs on the enemy side too.
