Hinges a lot on landing every single Q, plus really good walls.
You could play him like a Nasus. AFK farm in lane then nuke sidelanes once in a while.

Weekend League is in full force.
I think someone posted elophant before the match, and one person was the ONLY person on our team with more losses than wins. Also the only Gold V.
They harassed teammate(s) all game, refused to stop, claimed they made him act that way, kept saying he was done/afk/quitting like 15 minutes into the game, for a 15-minute period, called a surrender vote to partially block the screen in the middle of a teamfight, and went afk at spawn starting at maybe the 30-35 minute point, saying they were going to get weed, suck it, they can't lose gold, etc.
WEEKEND LEAGUEEEE *echo*
I'm convinced my ranked games at 3 a.m. go so much better than any time during the afternoon/evening.

Yup. Pretty much. If you play during the day you have chances of playing with kids. So the best strategy is play at night. During the day it's too random whether you'll get the good team or bad team.

If so, the handsome people that worked hard on this thread's OP should get dibs on the first codes of course :333
Actually, does Southern still play in NA? I haven't seen him post here at all.

OH MY GOD.
Enemy team: <picks Renekton>
My team: Who can play against Renekton?
Me: Teemo? GP? <spitballing crazily, time running out, I don't normally play top>
Sudden thought occurs to play Kayle for the ult saves and long-range poke on Renekton.
Me: <picks Kayle>
My team: Kayle? Okay lol.
What EVEN.

Static? You must be pushing like crazy.
Can anyone recommend me a Volibear build? I don't mind going full tank, but I want a bruiser build. I've been rolling with Bork, Frozen Mallet, Randuins, and then Spirit Visage. I really like it. I can dive the carry and they'll never escape, but it's pretty expensive and I can't build that from the jungle. Whenever I jungle I just go full tank. So yeah any recommended builds?
gaf, teach me how to learn to jungle
Kiunch gave me some tips. But need more help..haha
Im gonna piggyback on these tips too. I feel like I try to do too much when I jungle and end up way behind if I fail.

Back to the drawing board. Asking kiunch about jungle? lol.
Oh, I get scepter with boots.. forgot to mention that.
That is the idea with shiv, you can push stuff down in one fell swoop. By the time I get my Shiv, if we're not crazy ahead, it's usually starting to head to the 'get objective' instead of 'survive/win your lane', so I can push a tower down asap and start helping the rest of the team.
I've gotten criticized for no early BF and no IE, but it seems to work well enough for me. The early atk speed means you get headshot really quick, and headshot + shiv proc does tons of damage. Maybe not what the pros use but its been working for me!
Tank Voli is bruiser Voli. Stack health and nuke last quarter of people's health with bites.

A tip that you could find useful is to watch the minimap much more than the rest of the screen. To know where to go you basically must know, apart from who's winning the lane (and the tab key should tell you that), where the minions are pushing. Being a good jungler is less about ganking (that's the easy part, isn't it) and more about counterganking, so you basically want to know if your lanes are pushing, if they are resetting etc., and that tells you if that lane is susceptible to an enemy gank. Also, time everything, and mind that even if botlane is the hardest lane to gank unless the support is good at setting cc up, it's the one who gives more if the gank is successful (easier to push the tower, and free dragon if you got a kill and your mid laner has pressure on his lane).

Welp, won 3 of my first 4 with Orianna playing her as support. I'm not sure if I'm sleepy or what, but I was bored to absolute tears. I'm probably going to spend most of my time with her at mid. I'm not a fan of her kit as a support. Other champs do what she does early game but do it better while doing it in a safe way (Karma comes to mind).
Landing the ball for damage felt awkward because of how slow it moves and because I didn't really get comfortable with its initiation range. I always felt like I should be able to cast it from further away, but she'd always need to take like 2 more steps forward so I'd miss the damage on the Q. Certainly, buying nothing but support items doesn't exactly lend itself to being able to see and appreciate her damage output ability...but at least I was able to effectively use her stuff to shield and move the teams in and out of fights.
But yea...I think it will be pretty rare that I pick her as support. I just feel like she doesn't bring enough to the early game when compared to Soraka, Sona, Leona, Blitz, Karma or Lux. I never felt like I could control and dictate the pace of the lane like I can with those 6. But I'm only 4 matches in with her, so it's probably just me playing her like shit. I was afraid to right-click harass most of the time because I was leaving the ball on the carry. Just felt unsafe. Any tips for support Orianna that might loosen it up for me are welcome. Otherwise, I'll just spend time mid.

Early Berserker's isn't gold efficient at all for your damage (and that's especially true for Caitlyn who wants the AD). Shiv before a big ticket damage item just isn't really ideal either. That doesn't mean it can't work, just that there's better paths for maximizing damage for gold spent and for timing out power spikes.
Don't. She's not really a support champion (and, for that matter, neither is Lux) :x
As for Orianna, you just need to get used to her Q spacing and speed. Try to minimize the distance it has to travel to land hits. Also, if you need to immediately get it somewhere (e.g., it's behind you and you want to land in front of you), use her E to get it back to you faster. And, yes, you want to auto-attack harass a lot as her passive does stack up for a good amount of damage. Her basic goal in lane is to zone and harass so you just have to figure out controlling her ball and getting autos in whenever you're allowed to.

Shiv is a big power spike in lane though, if you can get away with poking. It crits for 200 damage on top of your attack. I've been on the bad end of a Shiv rush several times. It makes lane bullying much easier because it's difficult to avoid getting hit by the lightning procs, and you just gotta hope it doesn't crit. 100-200 damage that's harder to avoid every few seconds can be stronger than a few +45-67 damage obvious pokes every now and then.
That said I don't have the habit of rushing it. I did it on Ezreal once and had a blast poking them down under their tower.
the problem with early attack speed is that you just don't have much damage. it's easy to say that you'll do well once shiv is done but it's another thing entirely to come back to lane with only crit or attack speed on its components and think you'll be able to trade well vs. flat ad or something like a cutlass. even with shiv your damage output is going to be much lower than someone who invested into ad. it is really frustrating to have ad carries that build wrong because their damage output will be noticeable low.
when it comes to damage you also have to factor in that marksmans have abilities that scale off ad. if you rush anything other than iedge on cait your damage will just be pretty shit in the early/mid game.

Some jungling tips I wrote up last week
Another thing I do:
If the enemy jungler kills one of your laners and you failed to get a kill elsewhere, counter gank the lane, steal a buff, get a tower/dragon, then you've made a big mistake with your warding and use of time. It's tough but you gotta keep blaming yourself for lane screw ups to get better at jungling imo.

Asked an employee for a skin. She asked what my favorite champion was.
Ursa.
"Uhhhhh".
How does this person not know who Ursa is I means he is a bear ffs.
"I think that is another game."
So I think to myself what other MOBA could have a bear with a U.
Oh it's Udyr. WELP.
Moral is LoL is bad and I'm salty about no LCS tix. I have like 3 other MOBA betas to try for reasearch reasons now.
I got 4 I think, but they are for close friends.

Maybe if LoL was less popular. Couldn't get in and every Riot employee basically gets harassed for skins so I feel super guilty about asking.someone went to pax and got enough codes for the blitz and hecarim for lolgaf right?

The second blue buff belong to mid ~_~
End of nations is terrible
dawngate is ok. dont like the stat system though. its logical, but it makes things harder to remember. its systems are quite 'leaguey'. the map is designed a little dumb though.
infinite chaos is a clone of the least played lol map, and looks ugly
When I started to take the second blue buff, I started to win. I take second blue in 90% of my games.
I rather get a fast level6 and counter jungle with ease than wait for my mid laner to make a play.
^^
This. I've started taking the first two blue buffs almost every game. The xp alone is a huge boost let alone the CDR and mana.
Thanks. I missed them before, that's some useful stuff.
Haha, that gave me a good laugh.
That and most mid laners aren't aware of when the buff spawns anyway.
not sure what that means
not sure what that MEANS EITHER

new champ is called ao shan
sounds like ocean
water bender support or bruiser????
storm/water mage?!
it also sounds like shao khan
ao shan is a terrible name too. aatrox levels of bad but also too similar to that.
oh. why would you even post this boken. this is like the ramblings of a fourteen year old on reddit. designer named gypsylord working on her means she's a gypsy. makes sense.
