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

god i'm having so much fun with katarina. no mana, a blink, incredible passive. she owns early game and if nobody on the other team has anything that can get you out of channeling your ult then they're pretty much screwed.

a question though, i don't know if i already asked it before but, is there anything you can do to stop a tryndamere from slaughtering all your squishies late game before his ult runs out?
 
tryndamere can ult under any circumstance, even if he's suppressed/silenced/stunned/etc.

what you need to do is CC him during his ultimate and burst him down as hard as possible before he uses it to force him to use it ASAP. most tryndamere players will disregard any kind of resistance items because they think they're invincible late-game, when they're not. nasus and nunu are both hard counters to tryndamere because they both basically stop his damage. as his ult is running out you need to CC him again. any caster with a silence or a stun/root is great for this.

kassadin is one example of a great tryndamere counter because he has the mobility to run away from tryndamere, the slow to kite him with, and his Q+ignite will stop trynd from spinning away as his ult runs out as well as stopping him from healing with his bloodlust as his ult runs out. soraka is another example of an anti-tryndamere as she can make a squishy more or less invulnerable to physical damage for a few seconds (120 freakin armor, people) while having a ton of heals and a silence to again stop tryndamere from E+Qing his way out after he ults.

tl;dr - force him to ult ASAP. some casters can even burst a trynd so fast that the player behind him can't even press "R" in time. when he ults, CC him so he can't hurt your squishies and prevent him from spinning out/healing.
 
I been using viegar in Dominion and been having great success. Grant you cant farm as well with your q but his stun has literally saved more caps then I can count. Plus his burst damage just smash squishes.(not alot of people build defensively in dom.)
 
I build MF as a Tanky/DPS/Support.

ArP/Armor/MR/ Movespeed or Hp Quints

Merc _> Phage _> Starks _> BT _> Wits _> Atma

Finish off with Warmogs + Trinity or Mallet. Depending on how the game is rolling.

No you won't be bursting anyone down... but you'll have enough sustain that being ganked is a non-issue.
 
Man I'm so bummed right now, carried my way out of a ranked game using Kog'Maw teamed with such all-stars as a Master Yi top because that's all he'd play who fed Garen super hard and let him get some absurd # pro-game-caliber level of creeps and a jungle Warwick who didn't carry Smite or gank in a ranked game because the other team overcommitted a couple times late to ganks. During of the ganks their Garen and Swain caught one of our dudes around our Red, but I'd been idling at our mid Inhibitor while we recovered from some deaths to try and keep it alive so I ran out and doubled Garen and Swain pretty easily since neither of them had defensive items and my teammate Ignited Swain for me and somehow managed to escape... someone else added to try to finish us off and I got the triple, and then the other two members of their team showed mid and our support Blitz who never hit any grabs all game finally hit a grab on them as he rushed up mid and I killed them too, but there was like a couple seconds too long in between so it was just a triple and then a double. Foiled. Have been enjoying getting to play some ranked the past few days (I stopped for a while because I was having internet issues and didn't want to drag other people's rating down when I lagged out), just focusing on playing good games myself and not so much about ELO and it's been a little more relaxing.
 
Is it just me or does Kayle own in Dominion? I just use the recommended items except I start with boots and a prospector's ring. She just does so much damage so early and once you get those kills you can build your items so quickly.
 
Do you think Sheen and Trinity Force would be too broken if they just made the next autoattack deal 100% and 150%, respectively, of your total attack damage, as opposed to your base? Or have I read something wrong somewhere? I originally thought it was the former, and was thinking about building a Trinity Force on Riven (yes, I know half of the effects are useless on her), so that TF + passive would effectively give you a 200% increase on damage.

But then I went to read the effect again, because I thought that'd be a bit crazy, and then I was sad.....

Sheen and Triforce are strong enough as is. Atmog's+Triforce is already one of the most cookie-cutter and one of the strongest item combos in the game, so if you made the proc scale off of total AD and not just base, it would obviously be even more powerful. Triforce needs a nerf, not a buff.
 
He looks pretty fucking adorable and may be the first champion I actually buy on release as long as his kit isn't retarded.
 
Pretty much, yeah. However, Stitch on a shark with some crazy rod sounds like an incredibly cool champ, you gotta admit.

EDIT: Completely agreeing with Kinneas on this one.

EDIT 2: There will be hell to pay if Riot screws this little guy up.
 
I guess he does look like Stitch, but between his appearance and his name I honestly was just thinking "another champ that look like he's from Dota/HoN".

But it is pretty much just a silhouette so far, I actually really don't like these sneak peeks that tell me nothing at all about the gameplay.

Now you've got me thinking : what would happen to tanky DPS if Triforce was nerfed? Would it just make for fewer viable tanky DPS champs?

I believe that we would only see Triforce appearing on certain champions who best make use of it and can fully reap its benefits. Atmog's+Triforce would not be staple on EVERY tanky DPS champion any more and we would see a much more diverse selection of builds. At least I hope that's what would happen.

But as it is, it's possible to see Triforce on Jarvan, Maokai, Lee Sin, and even Nidalee - all champions who don't really reap its full benefits. Compare to someone like Udyr, who capitalizes off of every single stat that Triforce gives and doesn't even have to build it every game. That's the kind of diversity that the game should be aiming for, imo.
 
Currently I been running Olaf (im impressed with him)

starting items.
Boots
Red crystal
Sword

rus frozen mallet then build into Atmogs. Depending on enemy team comp Ill make a Starks Favor (first part) Or if I need even more damage Ill try a sanguin Blade. Finale item Iusally build on him is a Frozen heart/Wits end. I had be focued dow by 3-4 playersin order to die. His passive is great for life steal.

why would you build mallet and atmog's

either go mallet+atma's impaler along with resistance items (FoN, etc) or go triforce+atmog's and kill everything
 
Does anyone know if they're gonna add a recording system into LoL itself? I realize there is LoLReplay, but I can never seem to get it to record the screen when I use Camtasia. I think I read somewhere that people use Fraps, but I'd rather not use it, as I already have Camtasia.
 
Just had the pleasure of playing with the epic JonnyRolo. Didn't get to see if he was good or not because it was a 4v5. He did okay before he phoned it in because his ashe fed.
 
I'm not sure he got enough gold to buy anything more than some Doran's and boots. I was on his team and he was talking about how much Soraka sucked. We then got booted back to queue and I was on the other team. My Soraka was too strong and he didn't get any CS at all and was killed like 7 times before they surrendered at 20.

He did talk in all caps, though, if that counts for anything.
 
So I bought Pantheon yesterday, and he is so silly. I do a fairly quirky build by rushing a Tear, then cdr boots, then into Manamune. It is ridiculously easy to kite once you get them, as suddenly someone's getting a beefy spear to the face ever 3 seconds or so. I poked harder than Kog'Maw against another Pantheon and Poppy. I get kills easily enough, but my past few games have had feeders/random dcs, so we end up losing.

Also, I never really seem to get past 3 items, lol. Manamune/boots/IE is usually what I get. Any tips would be nice (as long as you don't yell at me for my current build, lol).

EDIT: Due to the fact that my build focuses more on his abilities rather than his autoattack, I've considered building Trinity Force on him. Thoughts?
