League of Legends: Let's Talk About uhhh??

Here are some statistics on a recent major tournament (MLG Anaheim) for a sample =) Keep in mind these stats don't include ban stats -- competitive LoL is played in Tournament Draft mode, and so things like Shen are used less because they're banned more often so can't be picked.

I watched OGN tonight (the group with CLG.NA, CLG.EU, MVP Blue, and LG-IM) and all four games had Malphite. And he beasted.

Thanks, those are interesting!

Also, not surprised @ bold.

On that stats page, Malphite has the highest winning percentage of any champion that was picked more than 5 times.

overpowered. get him to 18 with a decent defensive build and you wont die.

ever.

There's my champs. Out of those, I'm good with Amumu, Annie, Gangplank, Kennen, Lulu, Nunu, Rammus, Ryze, Shen, Twisted Fate, Udyr, Vladimir, Warwick, and Zilean. (So basically all of them that I didn't buy just because they were cheap.)

And Shen's basically banned or first picked in every tournament. They seem to do that with Janna and Alistar as well. Shen and Alistar did get nerfed slightly, so they might not get banned as often.
 
malphite is a bitch, even as a bot!

I'm nowhere near an expert on this but shen would probably still be banned because his ki strike (which is what i think was nerfed most recently?) is most definitely not what makes him bannable. he kind of needs either a taunt nerf or an ult change imo, but if the ult is just changed to 5500 range like tf ult and rank 3 nocturne ult that will probably just make him too weak, since that doesn't let you jump to a teamfight in mid when you're pushing top, to name one example (it's also a problem i have with tf but his isn't targeted so i can deal with it being short range)
 
Champions that I own that I play a lot: Rumble Shyvana Kennen Corki Tristana Janna

Champions that I own that I play sometimes: Renekton Trundle Brand Fizz Ziggs Ashe Sivir Nunu Blitzcrank Singed Akali

Champions I bought for some reason but never play: Annie Alistar Cho'Gath Fiddlesticks Yi Poppy Kayle Kassadin Tryndamere Teemo
I just bought Udyr, so he's not on the list. Probably going to get Sejuani or Lux next, I haven't really decided.

It's because of his ability to shutdown AD carries and bruisers with his attack speed slow, and his ult is a great initiate. He's also tanky too but not the reason hes a instant ban/pick atm. Though every draft game ive played hes usually first ban, not sure why the pro scene isn't doing it yet or if they just don't care if their ad carry gets owned all game.
 
Pro scene has to deal with co-ordination plays. Urgot, Nocturne, Shen, Karthus, and TF all come to mind as things that work better in tournaments because of increased communication.
 
Okay, so I just started learning how to jungle a few days ago, and I was bad enough to have negative k/d in bot games (yes, bot games) with things like Dr Mundo, Nocturne, and Skarner.

After watching a few Malphite games, I decided to give jungle Malphite a try AND WOW WAS I IMPRESSED! Not only does this thing have 3 sources of crowd control, which is only topped by champs like Nautilius, it's defense is ****ing insane! Also, it's the only champion I know besides Alistar that can walk into a 1v4 to save your team's AD carry and come out alive. Dat movement speed steal O.o

Hard to learn to jungle vs bots, only good for practicing routes and clear times. k/d ratio as a jungler doesnt mean anything, its about helping your team and possibly having a lane snowball because of your help. also buying oracles, help bot with dragon control is some other things you learn as you go on.
 
playing with a premade is paramount to learning to jungle. it's much easier to set up ganks (and to find an enemy jungler) in a team with people you can communicate readily with, as opposed to playing with randoms who may or may not know how to leash, or push the lane too much.

also iirc dr mundo is one of the hardest junglers in the game, i'd start learning with someone like udyr.

I tried jungling in a normal game once, and the results... well lets just say I'm glad match history only tracks your last 10 games. So I needed to practice jungling in bot games first to get a hang of routes and stuff.

Also, I find that whenever I don't start Cloth Armor+5 pots, I get owned in the jungle (either killed by a monster or having too little hp to continue jungling), regardless of if it's a normal game or bot game, regardless of leash. Is there some important thing to jungling that I'm forgetting? Or is it just that I need runes to jungle better?
 
Runes generally tend to help a huge amount when jungling - damage marks and occasionally quints tend to speed up the jungle while armor seals negate a large portion of damage. Fortunately, armor seals are extremely cheap (under 2000 IP for the entire set) and are definitely the most valuable runes when considering their effects on jungling.
 
Just had an opponent go 34-5 >_>

But I was 14-8 and the only person on my team that even had 10k gold.

So...yeah. I wanna be like him someday.

This except flat armor seals are great on a wide variety of roles so I would really recommend picking them.

Also late to the party but w/e

The bottom 4 are Veigar, Vlad, Warwick, Zilean.

Champs that I bought with RP/cash that I can remember: Caitlyn ($2 Arctic Warfare skin from that magazine thing), Ezreal (along with PFE), Fizz, Graves, Irelia, Kennen, Vayne. Last 4 were on sale at that time.
