noct wu and olaf arent completely useless until 6 + what they get at 6 is better than a dashi
yea i meant more general kit wise than anything

i mean she wouldn't be the best counterjungler but rito nerfed her numbers so many times but on kits alone her double dash tanky assassination would be pretty strong i rito didn't hate it

Tank isn't always necessary depending on comp of the team but a meat shield doesn't hurt if your team is squishy. A jungler is fairly crucial as it gives three people the benefits of getting all the gold and exp of a lane and you have a constant presence on the map. If you don't have one and the other team does, you have the early advantage but they will soon out level and out scale you and you will have 0 dragon/baron/buff control.

Then why is it, despite being Player Lvl. 30 every game I played had my team with 2 at top from the opposing team?

How does jungle rammus stand atm?
I feel like trying him but I'm not sure if I should or not.

His clear is godlike. By which I mean he is the God of Hilariously Slow Clears, able to go toe-to-toe with even the legendary Slow-Clearing Bushin Shen.

(Actually his first clear is OK other than nomming through his pots kind of stupidly quick, but he just does not keep up with the leveling of jungle mobs as the game goes when it comes to clearing speed, especially since he responds poorly to AD/AP itemization. You're basically locked into going crazy gank heavy on him.)

How do I go about buying Runes? I'm seeing waaaaaaaaaaay too many of them at varying prices.
...and certain runes offer a higher stat for a parameter.
 
Just had a game on jungle Lee. We have wukong mid, Lucian/Lulu bot, Teemo top. Lulu goes afk at about level 11 and never comes back, the game is somewhat even at that point. I was a bit behind their elise from her camping in my jungle with their renekton for kills (note to self...), teemo was even, and wukong was ahead. Game goes on for ages, we are winning or going even in teamfights thanks to wukong who is starting to get really strong, but only so long we can hold out. So there is a fight and we lose a couple people and they start baron. I get a ward in and completely solo manage to steal baron (I died for it but definitely worth). Enemy team doesn't manage to push or anything and the rest of my team got the buff. Then we group and push mid, wukong gets a 3 man ult and we clean up getting 4 kills, push right up mid and end the game.

Such an awesome feeling winning a 4v5 especially since our team never had a lead before the dc. Lee Sin and Lucian are hardly massive late game champs either although Wukong is certainly strong. Not going to lie my baron steal was pretty clutch too :p.

I'm worried they will nerf Lee just as I get the hang of him. I understand what they want to do so he can actually do more than peel/assassinate in the late game, but the way the changes are at the moment is not really going to help. If they want to buff his passive and make him more auto reliant, he definitely needs to have stronger defense late game or he will just get focused, so they should buff his w pretty substantially. Make it only shield the person it is cast on and make the shield scale pretty decently. You can remove some damage on the q and e if he is going to transition into being an auto attacker since they will just be tools for him to prevent being kited. I also feel like his kick would be better if it was a skillshot that hit enemies in a cone instead of a targeted ability. Still would let you make insec plays, but would make it much more useful in a teamfight: a good flank and you could kick several people towards your team. If you did that you could greatly reduce the damage from it too. Then Lee Sins would build stuff like botrk/triforce + tank items.

Or they could just leave him as the most fun champion in the game that he is right now, where it feels very rewarding to play as him. I do understand what Riot means when they say he pushes other champs out of the meta (take Diana jungle for example, never going to be viable as long as Elise/Panth/Lee Sin are popular picks since you risk your lanes being ruined.
 
When do they go for free usually?
Also what's better for Nasus, Bloodthirster or hydra?

On Nasus? Probably neither most of the time. You want to build tanky with lots of cdr. Spirit Visage + Randuins + Thornmail + Boots + Warmogs and then maybe a Triforce. Frozen Heart is also an option.
 
Hydra is fine for Nasus because of the synergy with passive and Q. It's either Hydra or LW as your pure offense item. Tank and CDR items are still far up the priority list though.
 
You'd probably be better off building into a Manamune on Nasus than a Hydra, but regardless it's more important to get defensive items since your primary damage source isn't benefiting from either attack speed or attack damage particularly much.

Your offensive item is usually a TF or Iceborn Gauntlet. It's hard to justify any other actual offensive items, though depending on what you're dealing with a Mercurial Scimitar might not be entirely out of line. I would say Hexdrinker is okay, but you already want a Spirit Visage, so it'd be a pretty niche situation where you want that much MR.

Oh OK then thanks, I assumed he could make use of the extra lifesteal.

I mean he can, but by the time you can afford to rush a damage item the lifesteal will be largely useless since laning phase will be over and you won't need it.

The point of Nasus is since his q scales infinitely and does stupid damage, you are able to build extremely tanky and still do tons of damage. To do this you need cooldown reduction so you can spam your q as often as possible.

Spirit Visage is a very good item on Nasus because it gives him tank stats (good), cool down reduction (good) and it gives him more lifesteal from his passive.

Triforce should be after spirit and randiuns (might wanna buy sheen earlier if you're starting to be aggressive). Thornmail is situational and not a core item. Warmogs kinda overkill, maybe last item.

Also want a last whisper if they're stacking armor.

Usually want ionian boots too.

Yeah I'm not the biggest Nasus player myself. I know Trick2g usually goes kindlegem->boots->sheen->defensive item

Nasus's build order usually seems very situational on the lane match up. Defensive early if you're up against a lane bully and need to be able to farm. Sheen if it's someone you're not afraid of.

Seriously though, Trick2g has a negative win/loss ratio on Nasus, on top of already being a bad player you shouldn't take advice from. Ionian boots are bad on Nasus because you want your CDR to come from other places. Nasus is a super basic champion when it comes to build/playstyle. All you need to do is something like this: http://www.lolking.net/guides/95841

Nasus will probably (unfortunately) see a reemergence with the teleport changes.

Ionian boots is good on nasus. Disregard soda.

Trick's build aims for 40% cdr asap so you can get 400-500 stacks by 20minutes. From what I've seen and experienced, 100 stacks before 10minutes, lucidity boots+kindle then tp back to lane, then you should be around 250 stacks by 15minutes then reaching 400+ by 20minutes.

To make this build work, you need (AND I EMPHASIS THE NEED) lifesteal and cdr blue runes.

You can watch sirhcez's stream and see it work. He stream every day. And he plays nothing but nasus.
 
That guide rated Teemo and Vlad lanes as very easy. The champ notes are also outdated (says DShield sucks, get cloth5 instead then recommends shield against many matchups anyways).
 
No love for trick2g gaf :( I'm sad

Sure he doesn't give the best advice but he's hilarious.

Not really a fan of him because it encourages copycats (that often fail miserably) specially kids. "Maximum disrespect" and all of that.

Am I the only one who totally thought he was black? His voice/accent totally struck me as black but I was surprised he was white.
 
Teemo is gutted, and Nasus is a sustain based champion who can easily build into early MR. Neither lanes should be very challenging.

And Nasus wasn't? The latest nerfs to Nasus (Shield, passive, mastery, wither range) are more relevant to laning than the recent Teemo nerfs. Nasus can rush Specter while Teemo goes for a guise or rod or codex + something else.

you'll prolly still want like a randuins or zhonyas to counter the adc, to get you some health and for the slow

but sure, you can do both

you can also do something like a ga and be hilariously annoying to kill

Thanks for all the info guys, I'll give Nasus another try tonight after playing a little DotA 2.

EDIT: Is Ezreal built AP or AD or both? Most Ezreal's I've seen seem to build AD.
