botrk is just a little bit dumb, when you can run brand/sejuani bot lane and both rush the item and shit on everything

my first ever pentakill also courtesy of botrk
 
Hate this game so much. I got 600 ping for no frikken reason and I got invaded twice when I was level 1. Couldnt do anything so I quit. Karma for quitting is being cruel to me, last 4 games I've had at least one person go -10 and 2 afkers.
 
Lost my first bot game ever today queueing up for Treeline bots for first win. For some reason I got paired with a Level 3 and Level 4 player (good thing I wasn't too ragey when I found that out or I'd have felt bad about berating them in-game) who went a combined 2/28 and I was playing Zed, not an AD Carry or Heimer. Against Alistar, Leona and Malzahar bots, too much unmitigable CC for my sorry melee ass to carry. :/

Current BotRK is way beyond what Black Cleaver was.
 
ignore the furor boots they are really bad don't buy them
I would partially disagree with this. On most champions, they are really bad on. But on others, like a champions with a good gap-closer and constant damage, such as Amumu or Xin Zhao. It practically insures that they won't get away without use of flash or help from teammates, and with Frozen Mallet/ Rylai's Crystal Scepter, escape is even more difficult.
 
They're actually insanely good on AD carries... You basically get a guaranteed full range tether on the enemy (the MS provided is literally 4x that of a phantom dancer)
 
Furor sux. The movespeed decays over the buff duration, so the average gain is only like 22-24 movespeed. Alacrity is slightly weaker at a constant 15 but it's always working, including for general map travel and trying to chase/flee enemies not currently in range to be attacked (or close enough you can't afford the cast/attack animation), and 175g cheaper. I bought Furor once on Urgot and was fairly pleased with it but Alacrity is largely better.

12% decaying is literally 4x that of 5% constant. :happybrain:
 
ok since obbmud99 got whooshed, what i was discussing with reno is how furor indeed acts as a 'tether' a la wisp in dota

you're 100% correct - it's a poor choice for movement and alacrity provides more movespeed and hence more distance travelled over the course of a game, but the purpose of the furor chant is to have more sticking power in situations in which you might be doing hit and runs. if you get ahead in lane, the ability to constantly obtain the furor haste destroys weaker laning opponents since they're forced into trading with you or just taking free harass. that was demonstrated last night when reno and i took turns at playing furor rush caitlyn - i tore apart a nunu lane because melee supports get shat on by kiting, and then reno was able to chase down soraka and kill her due to her poor mobility

it turns snowballs into...bigger snowballs. wouldn't buy it unless i was an autoattacker that's crushing lane and unlikely to have my laning phase interrupted by the jungler or something (2v2 lanes)
 
as soon as pookar posted screenshot there was a jungle quinn in our next game. I said it then , I'll say it now - pookar's Jungle Quinn going to be FotM
 
battle taric is op as fuck
Always been better than people give it credit too. Taric's kit really encourages him to get in there and hit people: one of the most naturally tanky champions in the game, heal CDR on-hit and self-healing even when targetting allies, on-hit passive and ginormous AD steroid. And while he's typically relegated to support, and innately bulky enough to bonk some heads while taking incidental fire aimed at his carries, he's a bona-fide burst caster with AP itemization and doesn't mind being tanky enough to get into the middle of a fight.

After thinking about it, I'm actually kinda surprised both that nobody really bothers to do it and that Riot hasn't nerfed people from trying it. AP Alistar, anyone? I suppose Taric doesn't quite have the CC but he has his fair share of advantages too. Riot said F that and nerfed Ali into the ground. People playing Soraka as a solo laner? Nerfed. Lulu? Nerfed. Janna? Nerfed. Riot learned from their "mistakes" and made Nami and Thresh scale like crap from the get-go, yet gems hold their edge... for now.

They're attemping to buff him into getting people to try it since they always intended him to be the 'paladin' champ. I don't think it will work since the League community has the hivemind mentality.
 
Is it just me or is soraka a really strong support atm? I feel like everyone I play as her we just easily win lane. It might just me luck that everytime I play her I either have a good adc partner or my opposing adc/support are shit but I just feel like she is a strong pick right now.

Ps. Jungle taric isn't actually half bad
 
Grats Sam! If you run into either Xaioli or Murdis up there, tell them I say hi!

I tend to build some kind of build revolving on Tear into Manamune, then Frozen Heart or Spirit Visage for defense. Bork is thrown in there at some point too.
