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

@shinyskarmory why bootcamp this? Havent you heard of iLoL?

Yeah, I tried downloading iLoL, but the download never finished. I tried repairing and everything, but it never worked. So I'm stuck with my hard drive partition until the Mac client comes out.

yes i know a hard drive partition isn't the same as boot camp, shut up
 
How's Zed right now? Saving up to 6300 to complete my ninja collection, but I want to know what I'm getting into...

zed is a fkin monster

he has a lot of weak lane matchups but he has a lot of strong ones as well. in teamfights he can basically force a flash because his gap-close with W->R is ludicrous and his damage output can and will 100-0 a squishy target if he's left to his own devices

he has higher burst than kha'zix with his ultimate and more sustained DPS if he's allowed to constantly spam his E in the middle of the enemy team, but considering that you'll be building glass cannon this is unlikely to happen unless your team is either massively ahead or has a ton of CC

jungle zed is also very fast. his ganks aren't great at all but his level 6 burst is pretty stupid. he doesn't transition into straight AD very well out of the jungle but all you need is a brutalizer after your initial machete (you don't need wriggle's, his AoE is amazing - MAYBE razors if you want)

very good champion, only really starting to be used in competitive play recently and is unlikely to be nerfed unless he skyrockets in popularity
 
1RLRt


im the strongest

also mpen mundo is not as good a gimmick as i had hoped, i thought cleavers + liandry would be a lot sillier :(
 
It might just be initial hype stuff getting to me but Thresh is so fucking cool and a beast support.

Im loving him in mid too. His scalings are meh but the souls help by basically giving him a free Needlessly Large Rod after like 25 mins. The Box is super clutch too.
 
That Xin smh. I think I have to add Xin Zhao to my list of most hated teammate picks because they'd sometimes build adc and then die and then rage (see: rationalmonkey).

yeah, Yi currently has a 4.0 AP ratio on meditate. This is a buff to a PBE nerf that basically killed it, but its still half of what it is at the moment.

This. All those bruisers (Darius, Xin, Panth, etc) need to be built the exact same way:

Warmog's, Mallet, Maw, Cleaver, Atma's

There really arent many or any situations where those champs should be built any differently.

This is vastly incorrect.
 
typical top lane builds are now warmog's/sunfire rush, then sunfire/warmog's (whichever one you don't have) then randuin's omen if their AP isn't a huge threat and your jungler has a bulwark already, or a negatron cloak into something if their AP is a big threat

i'm working with esports central and we actually just released an article on how pro players are itemizing

Want to point out that while the Ratio is halved, so too is the time it takes to heal (From 5 seconds to 3 seconds) meaning Yi heals at a far faster rate then before, making him far more resistant to burst damage. The primary goal of the change was "Shorten the 'pseudo-invulnerability' stasis period". While this is partially a nerf to the overall healing numbers, I am of the onion that those numbers changes are merely to keep his healing in check (Gaining 800 health +400% AP in 3 seconds would be a tad ridiculous).

Regardless, the change didn't kill Meditate, just killed it's "abuse" case. (Abuse is in quotation marks because I don't care about arguing about whether they should or shouldn't have nerfed it, nor do I really have an onion on that)
 
lol whistle's jungle karthus was a boss. In my game he invaded early on and thus didnt gank for 20 mins but farmed relatively well and picked up kills + assists from R. Then lategame came and no one stood a chance.

...then again our team was Corki/support malphite/top Kz/jungle karth/mid ori and the enemy fought us in a rather closed path near blue buff near baron so all our aoes hit and they all melted xD.

(I was the support malph and I felt like using it cuz he's a fun alternative to your usual supports xD).

Also valk says onion all the time and I don't know why but he's a very curious individual regardless.
 
confirming whistle is a huge dick that steals my blue and doesn't gank lux attacking my inner turret

smfh miss elspeth
 
So, if you could only play 3 champs for the rest of your League career, who would they be? (I feel like Jumpluff's answer will be 1. Lulu 2. Anyone 3. Anyone lolz)

I'd have to go with my favorite champ ever, Gangplank, first. I've probably logged more hours playing as Gangplank than I have spent doing college homework over the past year.

Then I'd pick Kog'Maw cause he's my favorite ad carry and I don't see him ever falling out of favor. His kit is just perfect.

And then I think I'd pick Kayle because she's just so versatile and can do so many things.

With those three champs I'd have two great top laners that can also play support (and Kayle can mid too!) and an ad carry. And then Gangplank and Kayle CAN jungle but it's a little questionable. I don't like jungling that much anyway unless it's with my new fotm Hecarim <3
 
Kayle jungle is fine, E clears camps like a boss and Q is good at the first point (full 35% slow at level 1) meaning you can level E. Ult means you can tower dive more effectively, also E procs red buff from a range and she gets a good power boost with double buff compared to some other junglers.

Jungle GP is 'okay', I like going Philo and then maxing out Q to get the gold from the jungle monsters. No Wriggles for me, that messes up Qing some of the minions (personal preference). Can build basically anything and is effective due to his kit. Global presense with ulti is good and Q procs melee slow from red . You might not like him because of the mobility creep.
