Figured i'd drop by and ask what rank people are? A meta of naut support might be something I rejoin. Jungle still blows :p

Take a look at where the blue deaths are. I was on the blue team and we ended up winning. That finally won a promotion series for me, after losing the last 2 attempts in (I think?) the last few days.

Our nexus was a few hits away from dying at least twice, possibly 3 times. The other team didn't have teleport and their backdoor attempts somehow failed. Then they died at an inappropriate time late game to end it.

For competitive.
Sej>Rek'sai>Fizz>Nidalee>Lee Sin>Jarvan>Vi

For solo q.
Sej>Amumu>Voli>Skarner>Naut

Meh, Nidalee is fun and laughs but I cant see her scale into endgame anymore than "pray for a Q landed on the casters/ADC so they cant fully engage in 5v5", but that is it. With Vi or Jarvan, I can do much ,much more.
Of course, that does not invalidate your ranking, since at competitive, Nidalees early/midgame more than makes up for her lackluster endgame options...

Quick edit: Also, am I crazy for building the new caster item on jungle nid, and Rylai and Haunting Guise? :D

are you kidding me? the jungle is better than it has been in years with 5.5

I actually haven't read the most recent notes. Kind of nice to see some more tanky options as well as aggressive choices. Would explain zac popping up in the fnatic game.
 
Wow, the Bard's chime locations are supposed to spawn near to him in the first minutes but after some time the chimes starts to spawn in the enemy jungle or in the Top enemy jungle just for a buff of his AA.

No wonder why Bard sometimes is absent in bot lane

I wish I was better at Lee Sin, or maybe just jungling in general. I managed to steal a dragon and baron from the other team, but I feel like the enemy Udyr was always in a better place then me in terms of ganking and just general map presence.

You go all armor runes except for 6 cdr glyphs

lol ive been running that for a while now against riven or pantheon. its basically 32 armor 5 cdr how is it korean ? whos using it there ? anyways thats only really viable against heavy ad champs

edit: dont think its overkill against certain champs i wrote with a master nasus player and hes running the same page in a few matchups

Ah. That reminds me of my Poppy days back then.

Start with 90 armour at level 1 and laugh at top laners trying to trade with me while they get wrecked by minions.

It's really hard to fix LB without butchering her kit or making her clunky

I'd personally just shove travel times and animation locks down her throat and call it a day.
They should just slow down her distort speed a tiny bit, you know, for counterplay. She practically has 3 targeted spells on her kit right now.

Everyone here should watch the UoL vs FNC game.
Can confirm, game is amazing.

new meta

fizz q is now a skillshot.
ghost style balance: secretly a buff. lets give fizz two skillshot mobility moves so he can be more mobile than nidalee
i dont see the benefits of all that armor honestly.
That Nasus rune page sounds like overkill

Plus it's really rare that you'll only have to deal with physical damage early game.
Actually this rune page makes nasus a terror. Esp against physical dmg top (for magic top, you take all MR and 5% CDR). nasus becomes unmoveable earlygame and you take more damage from minions trying to harass him. he will out trade you if you guys exchange blows.

if youre not about that, the 2nd rune page in that link gives him surprising early game damage

I wonder how Riot makes the decision as to what button to put each skill on.

From instinct this is how I feel about the 4 keys:

Q is usually the spammable and main skill

W is either cc, escape or an auto attack modifier

E is for the unique skill that defines the champ

R is for ultimate.

That's my assumption as well, which makes a champ like LeBlanc all the weirder. Her main source of damage is her dash, which is on W.

I feel like W can also be an AOE damage spell (Brand, Veigar) or a shield (J4, Leona).

That's my assumption as well, which makes a champ like LeBlanc all the weirder. Her main source of damage is her dash, which is on W.
That fits both Rex's category of "escape" and my category of "AOE damage spell" though.

E is usually the dash/movement/escape, rarely W for escapes.

Lucian, Ezreal, Graves, Rek'Sai, Azir, Elise, Fizz, Gragas, Kat etc. etc.

few outliers but it's usually E.

W is usually the utility spell I find. You use it less often. There's generally nothing massively active about the W skills. Might be due to finger placement priority.

A lot of Leblancs back then use to max Q first. There's weren't many mid laners who could clear waves with one skill back in season 1 and 2 so there was no need for leblancs to max W first.

Maxing Q quite literally took no skill to play so...

Yeah, a lot of those champs came into mind when I was typing my post up. I guess dashes and escapes can also define a champ as well. Troll pole, shunpo, arcane shift, rek sai tunnels.




Anyway, how do people position their fingers while playing?

I have my pinky on shift (from my fps days :\) and my other 3 fingers on Q-W-E

Interesting about LeBlanc, didn't know that.

As for finger position, I do the same. Doesn't feel natural using my pinky for anything other than shift or ctrl.

Is anyone on EUW called Chowdah? If so, sorry I rejected your invite! I get many from newbies after coop vs AI matches so I don't accept unless the name is familiar/I know the invite is coming.

Also did my first two matches on Bard, had a lot of fun and I think I did well for being my first time. His laning is pretty good. I basically ignored chimes unless they were close or on the way. At the same time, I feel I could have done what I did with him with another support (Nami for example). I need to practice my Q's a bit more, since the width is bigger than what it seems, it fucked me up by proccing the stun on two minions that were side by side. Also the tunnel baits are amazing.

I used my Nami/Janna page and built mostly tanky/initiator. I feel AP is a waste and on the second match, which was versus another Bard, you could tell him building AP wasn't helping at all.

I'll post op.gg screens later when I get to my computer!

Ps. W is great for that speed boost and helping a Maokai or Seju initiate.
