Just sounds like someone who thinks they should only build the best for that role which is a stupid idea to begin with.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
WHY AREN'T YOU BUILDING WARMOGS AND CLEVERS SCRUB! GG WUKONG IS NOOB REPORT PLZ.
Phage is reasonable but Brutalizer first just accomplishes more for the most part. Given the choice, I'd opt for Brutalizer instead and then work towards the BC + Phage->TF (or Frozen Mallet if you can't afford to go the TF route).
It's not a rage-worthy choice though. And works out better if you needed the health in lane rather than more offense.
You should always build whatever is best for your role for that game at that moment. I mean, I guess some people don't like to "take things seriously" but eh.
No more NS2?
I miss you too.
I just broke 1600 again (last time was end of S1), but I haven't really tried to see how far I can go. :x Also about 1700 total games played.
it was around 500 before last year.
You know I don't mean it like that. People build blindly to a maximum that may not fit the team that is before them. The best changes if you build from a guide or from pure crap you saw some team in a tourney do, it may not fit the comp you're against. I wasn't inferring at that moment cause what I said and what you said are different on that level, most can't even get there.
When you're serious it's another matter but I see this complaint in normals too much when it's obvious by team comps or playstyles people aren't being serious nor intend to be. Ranked, tourney, or league match are a different beast in terms of expectation.
Good stuff Merc, but I thought we talked about your status last time we played.
I don't even read my own posts in my voice.

I always build blood thirsted on every ad first. I went 14/6 on my first time with wukong. Even then we still lost. Couldn't carry the whole team...
I used to not like Hecarim because when he first came out someone would play him every game and they would suck horribly (for weeks), but he's really not bad at all. Anyone who can move through impassable trees without Flash is alright in my book.
If Team Shadow Isles would get a solid ADC released for them they'd rule teh world.
Really? I've thinking about jungling him and figured with stealth and a gap closer that ganking would be his strength. I was more worried about sustain and clear times.
His combo actually uses up a lot of mana if you're so liberal with it...
Drop the Black Cleaver. Nashor's into Liandry's then decide on more AP (Deathcap) or more ASPD/CDR (Zephyr). At 40% CDR (technically, 37.5%), you have 100% E uptime so Hurricane is a good teamfight investment.
Edit: If your lane is something that won't let you get multiple autos in, you can do the Deathcap/Lichbane build instead. It's basically all about landing Q + a single E auto attack for the big burst.

Just saw Guardsman Bob on twitch. Always seen him on own3d. After a quick google search. Own3dtv is rumored to be closing down next week. Destiny doesn't have anything positive to say about them either.

Is Talon a good champ? thinking of playing him. Don't have any champs that can play mid lane.
I have been playing top exclusively for a while lol, any other lane I gotta dodge ._.

Use the ones on free rotation for that
Usually there's enough to cover every position.I like him a lot. He's more of a counter than am every game mid but he's viable in a lot of circumstances. Pretty much crushes most ap mids.

Yea I want to get a mid champ, I don't know the AP items yet so I don't bother with AP mid
I don't mean to be rude, but this confuses me a little. You've been working on getting over 1600 for a long time, correct? You seem to currently have a max of 1591 elo. And you've won over 2000 normal games so you've obviously played a ton. Yet in ranked, you apparently have exactly 2 Varus games played out of all 3 seasons combined. Why not carry some of those 600 normal Varus games over to ranked? Did your experience lead you to conclude that without Riot changes, Varus isn't viable in ranked? I personally feel like he's very rare, but that could just be because I'm low elo.
because varus cant carry the abomination that is 1500 elo

Play a game. Troll game. We lose. Play another game, winning, winning, teammate quits, lose. Play another game, Troll game. We lose.
So he can carry normal games enough to the point where you have a 90% win rate but not enough in ranked games to get you out of elo far below where you belong?
The ranked environment is very different from normal. Also, solo queuing is much easier on normal than ranked. Secondly, I find it harder to carry in solo queue as an ADC than say... mid. Lastly, different elo ranges have different problems...
I have a 90%+ winrate with Sejuani this season. I don't know why it'd be that unbelievable for someone to be good with a champion.

So they changed noc huh? Longer range on his q :-D ... shorter range on his r :'-(
Where can I find a list of changes?

So you're saying the fact that he has a 90% winrate isn't because he's really fucking good with varus? Or just that it doesn't matter how good you are, in ranked it doesn't make a difference?
I'm assuming you mean unranked -- do you track that? I don't know a way of tracking unranked wins unless you do it on your own (like I did with Katarina and Riven wins), unfortunately.
And not to be outdone by Corgi, I have an amazing 100% win rate in season 3 with Warwick, out of the 1 game I've played with him.
The point is that Varus is an ADC with minimal escape potential and low-level Ranked games lend themselves to "me, myself, and I" kind of playing. ADCs without an escape are left sort of fucked in this meta of a lot of diving assassins (e.g., Kha'zix) if their team doesn't work to peel for them. Essentially, playing an ADC in Season 3 with randoms at low elo is rough due to many people playing with "ME FIRST" mentalities.
So, with premades, he has a team that he can depend on to not leave him to die, basically.

What the fuck is wrong with the server.
If it makes you feel any better, I logged in before the stupid started and all the queues are busted.
I think it is maintenance for the disconnects that have been happening, but can't be sure. I don't see any official announcements except the little notice that ranked is disabled.

It says I have 2 hours to wait, then 1 second, and it just stays there.
Over 20,000 ppl in queue for double ip weekend...
Oh, that's why I got like 370 IP for my FWotD.
Weird that I didn't have a problem logging in a few hours ago. People really like to play at night I guess.

Yeah, queues were a bit fucked up when I was logged in about an hour ago, so that's almost definitely related. I was assigned to a lobby that doesn't appear to exist, and attempting to reconnect to it did nothing. After a while I ended up in a login queue that just didn't move at all after the first refresh.

Riot needs, like, 3x servers.
