I wanted rumble free week since forever and it had to be in a week that I can't play league >=(

Phreak said in a post somewhere that Akali will pretty much never be free because of her rune requirement, so anyone waiting for her to be free should pretty much go buy her.
 
I'm gonna have lots of fun with Rumble.

Moral of the story? Don't play Dominion.

Say whatever you want, but I prefer it to Summoner's Rift. Teamfights are exhilarating compared to beginning every game for 10 minutes. There are many people who feel the same.

Why would you go bot with a character who can't push in the first place? And Rammus bot makes no sense either since bot takes away the advantages that powerball gives him and he has no AoE for pushing.

Do you think I was in control of either team? Do you think given the circumstances, my team would be cooperative enough to understand my POV, much less what is and isn't optimal?
 
Wish they would buff Leona's AP ratios.. I really do.

o_o Why? lol

as bad as fiora is i enjoy playing her

wow 6/10 of these champs are "viable" supports lol

Hm? @_@ I count three traditional supports (Sona, Leona, Blitzcrank) and then 'Teemo' and Fiddlesticks... Who am I missing?

I'm very happy about this free week. I've wanted a Fiora and a Rumble free week for a little while, so to get both at once is nice. Will miss the Miss Fortune free week, but I guess I just need to buy her ~.~! She's super fun imo, I keep getting her on Proving Grounds on PBE in particular (been playing a heap of that what with the patch troubles -- I like it, though I think capture points like on the Crystal Scar work better :/ but then I did have a 40 minute epic yesterday that wouldn't've been possible with capture points; at one point, we had only a single nexus turret remaining, while they had all theirs).
 
Fuck the community sometimes. Dominion solo queue, I was Panth. Rest of the team was Kass, Volibear, Karthus, and Xin Zhao. I volunteered to go bot because apparently in solo queue people think going bot is the equivalent of being castrated (bot is only boring if you are shitty at pushing, I honestly think that it plays similarly to solo top in SR). Found out my lane opponent was a Rammus who started Warden's Mail, and requested that someone switch with me because I can only hold for so long, much less push, against that. Our team won top, and Karthus went bot. I thanked him for the change, to which he responded with "u are a bitch and suck. just sayin". Ouch, but I ignored it. He proceeded to intentionally feed in anger and make shitty plays because going bot is apparently the most offensive, terrible thing in the world. If that wasn't bad enough, Volibear proceeded to bitch the entire game about how our Kassadin was awful and didn't assist him in his attempts to 1v3 their team (Kass led the team in bases captured and kills may I add) and stopped trying while we were still many points ahead. Karthus and Volibear's poor attitude and lack of cooperation lost us the game. Gah. I normally don't rage, but I do so when people don't use common sense, don't try, and most importantly don't listen to the team...and in this game all three elements were present.

My first question is why the hell Rammus went bot. Warden's Mail is an incredible item on Dominion (even more so for Rammus,) though.

And yeah, ragers gonna rage, bad players gonna play badly. Good thing we don't have to put up with them for more than 25 minutes though. :)

I also enjoy Dom more than SR and can direct you to more than a few good links about playing it competitively. Friend Tortferngatr in-game.

why would you wanna send a global champ like karthus bot to soak up all the experience? makes no sense man

Because Karthus can zone out enemies like a boss and STILL contribute to team damage top? It's actually regarded as being better to send him bot than top, although I know from experience he isn't exactly terrible up there.

yeah man, fuck these bad people who keep putting soraka bot

She's pretty much like Karthus in terms of bot lanes. She can start top if needed before swapping to permabot. If this was sarcasm in response to Minwu...yeah, fully justified.

Moral of the story? Don't play Dominion.

Alternative moral of the story: Better to only take 20 minutes of shit (or 15 with an early surrender) before moving on than 45 (or 20 with an early surrender).

seriously, don't be hatin'.
 
o_o Why? lol



Hm? @_@ I count three traditional supports (Sona, Leona, Blitzcrank) and then 'Teemo' and Fiddlesticks... Who am I missing?

I wouldn't count teemo as support, but both malphite and annie can support well

malphite is in the same vein as leona (just less powerful laning but better for team fights)

CDR tank annie. aoe stun +shield isn't that bad. I personally wouldn't play her as support but it does work.
 
Karthus is okay in Dominion but that nerf to his passive (where the death timer doesn't begin ticking until after you exit it) basically completely ruined him. He went from like best caster bot to fairly average, and it really hurts him as a top fighter, because that change is so crippling. :( And Soraka bot is good at counterpicking Urgot at least.

also this is pretty bunk if you ask me

Phreak said in a post somewhere that Akali will pretty much never be free because of her rune requirement, so anyone waiting for her to be free should pretty much go buy her.

You're not obligated to have both halves of Akali's passive turned on at Level 1, it's not that big of a deal. Bonus damage on "very little base damage" is very little additional damage. Spell vamp on "very little damage" is very little healing. By the time you gain a few levels, your masteries will be enough to flip them on naturally or you fix it up with itemization; Gunblade is core on Akali anyway. Grab an early Doran's Blade or Amp Tome if you want the neglected half of your passive turned on ASAP.

I would like to see this post, though, if it's real and somebody can find it.
 
Why would you go bot with a character who can't push in the first place? And Rammus bot makes no sense either since bot takes away the advantages that powerball gives him and he has no AoE for pushing.

yeah, only idiots take Rammus as a bot laner. Seriously, half of why he's considered good (and the main area he beats Malphite in) is that he's mobile, a negated advantage on bot lane.

Pantheon can go bot primarily because his ult+W bug gives him global presence, and because he can threaten his foes early on. He's not exactly perfect for bot lane (and tbh I would have had the Karth go bot at the start,) but he's better than Rammus down there.

Karthus is okay in Dominion but that nerf to his passive (where the death timer doesn't begin ticking until after you exit it) basically completely ruined him. He went from like best caster bot to fairly average, and it really hurts him as a top fighter, because that change is so crippling. :( And Soraka bot is good at counterpicking Urgot at least.

Not entirely. Karth still zones his foes like a boss, and in top lane his wall can be devastating if you take a couple of levels on it. I'd agree he isn't top tier anymore, but he's not SR Eve tier.

Soraka's utility falls off in top lane. Put her in bot lane and she remains capable.

Also, you could always take him with Revive, which is apparently really freaking good on Dominion if it's specced. (ask dominatedominion's in-game some time if you don't believe me. For that matter, watch featured Dominion games on Spectator Mode.)

Rammus is a fantastic top, I was confused as to why he went bot too. But it doesn't change the fact that I, as Pantheon, couldn't face him 1v1.
