League of Legends anyone?

I played Jarvan earlier. One thing I don't like is his ult is so hard to know when to use and when not to. However, I did one at probably the best time possible. Rumble and Lux were about to kill our Corki, I ulted to Rumble and it trapped both. Me and Kat finished them off and Corki got away. I'm going to start playing him more since I didn't when I first bought him.
 
Tried Sona in a custom bot game last night since I was curious how she was (and none of my friends were on). I was originally thinking about buying jarvin but no, I need Sona now. I went 13/4/4 in an all bots game with laning with a malphite and I really like her. God I am starting a bitch collection on this account in league (Morgana, Lux, soon to be Sona), :lol:.
 
Played ONE game last night. We were doing alright, was probably gonna win but it could have went either way. Then my internet dropped. Took about 5 minutes to get back on LoL. When I did they had already surrendered :mad:
 
That sucks. I remember the circuit breaker for the room with our modem kept going off. So I kept dc'ing. I was doing really well as Nasus, too.
 
i love when that stuff happens on the opposing team!

That last ranked game picture I posted, it was a great game, we were probably going to lose, then their Udyr disconnected and i said NOW IS THE TIME TO PUSH, CHARGEEE!

Then we charged all the way in and won, not sure if he came back or not, but we just pushed on through and was an unstoppable force of Maokai and Rammus protecting our squishies from everyone

Ouch, kinda reminds me of my game last night. It was co-op vs ai.

To start things off there were no champions in my one friend's champion's select screen (which finally she was allowed to pick Ezeral). I picked Nunu which was a big mistake. I was laning with my GF who tried her first game as Renekton, and well with Shen and Warwick in that lane it wasn't good for both of us. Then about halfway through our gangplank leaves for about 10 or so minutes.

Luckily towards the end we pulled through and won. I eneded up like 3/13/14 that game.
 
Had a crappy Kat vs Kat game. Our Malzahar went mid vs Kat. And then he fed. Then she'd go gank, and he'd stay at his tower. Didnt push really, didnt go try to help turn the ganks around. He DID at least call MIA. Anyhow, when we got out of the laning phase noone would focus her. She was stacking Mejais and had Leviathan stacks. So if we just would have killed her like 3 times or so she'd be pretty screwed. Instead we ignored her till she popped into teamfights and got a triple kill almost every time. Of course this all became MY fault because I wasnt as good of a Kat as her. Which may have been true, but I wasnt the one who fed her either.
 
I played a practice game as Kat. Went 50/1/4 with 20x Mejai's, Sorc Shoes, Rylai's, Gunblade, Abyssal, and Rabadon's. Would have had a Pentakill if their Yi hadn't had Guardian Angel. I was right under their nexus turret so I went back then towards him, but Soraka Bot killed him. fuck Soraka bot.

BTW Waughoo, I recommend trying Armor seals. With masteries, you have 105 armor at the end. Early you have very close to 40 and I didn't buy a Doran's Shield. Makes harassing a lot easier since you block a lot of damage.

God damn, very nice. Assuming I play tonight I will have enough IP for Sona. Will also have to try out Kat sometime.
 
[quote name='RisenShadow']So, I found this old review of League of Legends from 2009....is it me or do the menus from that review look cooler than they do now?

My favorite part is that (mind you this is three years ago) they promised more maps....hahahahaha[/QUOTE]
Maps are coming, sometime :lol:. Wow that is old. They were wondering if micro transactions were going to keep this game alive, yet I had a friend who just bought $50 worth of skins, and I bought $40 worth of t-shirts, lol.
 
[quote name='Morphx2']Keep posting your scores vs bots, love those

:)[/QUOTE]

Just sharing how I nearly got a pentakill. Bots or not, it's cool. You're just a hater.
 
I had a pretty awesome match this morning. It was on the TT map, and It was Sona, Singed, Teemo (me) vs Kennen, Renkenon, and Twitch. Two people on their team were carrying Revive which was a little strange.

We started off with the beginner gank, despite having an awfully weak lvl 1 team. I rushed down to the bush only to already find Kennen and Twitch there x_x. I flashed out, and my teammates finally arrived. Sona packed a punch and Singed flung back Renkenon to the both of us. We took him down easily gaining first blood, but both Twitch and Kennon got Singed, and fled with the kill with a sliver of health a piece.

We decided to have Singed take top since both me and Sona were fragile, and up against Renkenon and Kennen, it wasn't very easy. Thankfully Twitch didn't start coming in for ganks until lvl 6, but when he did, it was a slaughter.

Both Sona and Singed kept over extending and dying to Invis Twitch ganks. And they were ragging hard about it. Kept claiming Twitch was OP xD. In terms of kills we were doing fine though 8-11, but they all went to me.

Their Twitch got overconfident though. Tried to attack me with full health while I was alone, and I was able to take him down before I went to half health xD. Malady + Black Clever on Teemo is awesome. Since two of them were squishies, I didn't bother making Madred's razor into Bloodrazor. I build a Phage and took that into Trinty over Frozen Hammer since I wanted the general boost over constant slow.

Worked well. The only times I died were after we aced their team, and two of them come back from the dead with the improved revive spell.

I like my Teemo build, but I don't build any lifesteal which urks me.

Tome + Pot -> Madred's Razor -> t1 boots -> Malady -> CC t2 boots + long sword -> Phage -> Bloodrazor/Black Clever (depending on enemy team) -> Previous Weapon Not Taken -> Frozen Hammer/Trinity -> Guardian Angel

I also tend to through in Dorian's Blade if I don't need pots every now and then.

yea LoL had better menus and music before season 1, the drum song that used to play during champ select was much better than the current music.
 
I was just in an awful 5v4 as the 5. Our GP was useless. Our Amumu failed at initiating. Lux never communicated in chat. Brand fed their blitz early. I told him to stay behind minions and he never did and we were fighting. I really hate playing Jarvan, there's rarely ever a great spot to use your ult.

I'm so tired of this game. The only time I have good games is if I tank. If someone else ever does tank, they're usually awful.
 
You could try disputing the charge if you used your credit card.


Also, patch preview time

The CC reduction of Merc Treads is being renamed to Tenacity. Merc Treads has 35 tenacity now and there are 3 other items that will have it. Tenacity doesn't stack, it just takes the highest value of your items.
Cloak and Dagger (Cloak of Agility+Dagger): 20% AS 20% Crit Strike, 25 Tenacity
Moonlight Spellblade (Blasting Wang): 50 AP, 25 Tenacity
Eleisia's Miracle (Philosopher's Stone): 25 HP regen, 20 Mana regen, 25 Tenacity

Sunfire Cape's AOE is being reduced to 35
Wit's End no longer removes mana. Instead, it will still deal bonus Magic damage but also add Magic Resist upon hits.

Shen's passive is being based off bonus HP
Jarvan's Q will cost more mana and have 1 more second CD
Karthus' passive is shorter, less AP ratio on his ult
Nocturne is getting nerfs so he has to build
GP is getting some armor and AS buffs, ult does more slow at lower ranks
 
Moonlight Spellblade sounds interesting. With that, I should be able to opt for M.Pen boots all the time on casters. Or even go for more movement speed.

Cloak and Dagger sounds like it could work for Teemo too.
 
Yeah, I really like this change. There's so much CC these days, I can't recall the last time I didn't play against a team where even 1 of them didn't have a CC.

Now it's great because you can use the other boots instead of being forced to take Merc Treads.

However, this really hurts Nasus. Before, it was just Merc Treads that killed Wither. Now there are 3 new items. He needs a reworking. Spirit Fire needs larger cast radius, faster cast speed. Wither needs a flat AS/MS reduction rather than gradual, lower CD with level, and lower base mana cost that increases with level (100 mana at level 1 is too much). Ult could get a little buff.
 
xD I was just reading a topic on that.

http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=728268

Well, I'm not a fan of the Wit's End change. I used it last week on Teemo over Malady, and I loved the thing. It was pointless vs a lot of enemy champions, but no more so than Malady when I built pure AD and was split pushing solo. I found it made me more formidable solo on Teemo, while Malady was just for the AP folks. The +MR buff seems... kinda silly to me really. Maybe if the cost was lowered :| But now it looks like Malady 24/7.

Apparently Wit's End is now the perfect item for some Tanky folks like Irelia, Xin and Rammus though.
 
[quote name='RisenShadow']What is CC? That's a term I haven't heard of before.

Spellblade might work well for my blitz build.[/QUOTE]

Crowd-control

Stun, Silence, Snare, Suppression, Taunt, Fear, and Slow (I think).
 
I am surprised there is no nerf on Brand this patch. Seriously the time I tried him, I found him way OP and everyone who I played with during the free week was easily racking up insane amounts of kills.

Yup. He does insane amounts of burst damage early game. It's pretty retarded.
 
[quote name='icedrake523']He kind of falls off late game and his ultimate sucks.[/QUOTE]
I never noticed him falling off late game. Every time I would play with a brand he was still as good late game as he was early/mid game. I guess because every brand would rack up tons of kills early game and be outleveled/outgeared than the rest of the team.
 
Singed nerf is going to be super lame if they go through with it. Nerfing a hero because its really good on one map doesn't mean you have to kill it on the other map. Do what Guild Wars did and make two versions of the champ.
 
So, the past four games, my friend and I have literally been the only two that spoke English. The last game two people on our team spoke very rough English. One criticized me for getting an AD item on Olaf, said to get HP items, specifically Frozen Mallet (obviously didn't pay attention as I already had the Phage and was building towards it).

Anyways, I then went with a Warmogs, so he then says in all chat "Look Olaf build pleese repot". I'm so fucking sick of this shit. Did this game just catch on in South America? Why is every game filled with foreigners? I'm tired of playing with people who not only don't speak English, but that are also completely retarded on top of it.

I've got no issue with foreigners if they know how to play, but it seems my friends and I get stuck with the dumbest/shittiest ones. When you're 1-8-1, stop trying to act like you're so pro. I so cant wait for DOTA2 to come out so I can stop playing this sorry excuse for a game.

/rant
 
You bought a Warmogs? What a noob. All kidding aside, I hate the item but it works on Olaf (and I've seen worse).

I haven't played with many foreigners, but I hate when I do. I don't get why there is an EU and US server but Central and South Americans can play on the US server. In my experience, a lot Europeans learn English in school (I have a friend from Norway who speaks it well) so you're more likely to understand them than any C/S Americans.
 
I'm laughing at the new skins. They removed Lord Mort's crotch spike and the new Jax skin has him using an Axe..

I mean, he's using a real weapon now...
 
Had a game tonight that really ticked me off. I go mid as Kat. The other team sends both Zil and Anivia mid. So I'm already kinda screwed against that combo, but I go ahead with it. I expected to die, A LOT. Instead I killed their Zil early, and nearly killed both of them several times. They kept getting away with less than 100 health. Meanwhile, bot is busy feeding Renekton (who is solo BTW), and top isnt being very impressive. I went down to help bot, and Renekton is fed enough to kill 3 of us solo. So it's already pretty much GG.

About 20 min in I notice our Rammus has ONE item, a Warmogs... ok... great. 10-15 later I check and he's now got a Sunfire cape too. I'm like "Rammus... thinking about some boots maybe?" and he's just like "yea". So he buys some basic boots like 5 min later. Rammus spends most of his time in the jungle, or power-balling his way to a lone enemy. He cant actually HIT the enemy cause they're always surrounded by minions. So he just leaves them go. When the teamfights start, he powerballs into the tank most of the time, and never bothers with taunt. Awesome.

We spend the rest of the game losing teamfights. I can kill one here or there, and our Nasus was starting to get some kills, but for the most part we're sucking. Our team follows the tried and true method of
1). Initiate teamfight
2). Get several enemies low health
3). Kat dives in to kill them
4). Kat kills one or two, and gets several down low
5). Kat dies cause teammates ran away
6). Teammates die one by one cause they dont KEEP running
7). Profit?
Anivia and Zil keep 'almost' dying but are saved by egg and Zil's ult. I've killed both of them several times on my own, but during teamfights they live. So I had to hear Anivia talk shit a little. Hear her didnt anger me, it was more like "Wait... you and Zil cant take me alone, but you think you can talk shit?" going on in my head.

We finally surrendered at like 46 min. They had taken mid inhibitor, 2 top towers, and one bot. We had taken 0. No sir, I dont like it.
 
Wait, wait. Anivia AND Zil mid AND you took them down solo? Jeez, I could see myself dying over and over again.

One of the designers on the forums was saying Tumble won't allow Vayne to go through walls (Could have sworn it went through Jarvin's in the live preview.. but looks like nada in the spotlight). So I'm fine with it. My only issue is that I don't think I'd ever be able to escape from the girl. MF be damned, this chick's MSPD could put Teemo to shame.
 
[quote name='panzerfaust']she looks super fun[/QUOTE]


Super fun to play, not so fun to play against. Basically she can always escape from what you put her in AND she can chase you down if you run, plus, even if you're turret hugging she'll be able to get in and out fast at the start of the game.

Give her some phantom blades and flash....and other than ganging up on her, not sure what else you can do...hope your stun hits I suppose.

It's like someone said "yeah, ashe is annoying right now...but you know what we need to do to really piss people off? Give her the dmg ability of Kat with the stun ability of poppy!"

I grumble...but I'll be getting her for sure. This chick will run circles around any melee/directional ability ranged


can she roll out of V's stun box you think?
 
More Vayne info

Lore:

The world is not always as civilized as people might think. There are still those who would follow the blackest paths of magic and become corrupted by the darker powers that flow through Runeterra. Shauna Vayne knows this fact well. As a young privileged girl in the heart of Demacia’s elite, her father tried to convince her of the constabulary's ever-vigilant eye. Young and naïve, she truly believed that her world was one of perfect safety… until one night, when a twisted witch took interest in her father. The malevolent woman overcame her father's conciliar guard, then tortured her family before murdering them. The young Shauna escaped only by hiding herself and then fleeing once the hag had departed, plagued by the screams of her loved ones as she ran. A burning hatred was born in her that day, one that could never be denied.

Vayne was able to take care of herself using her father’s money, and she began to train as soon as an instructor would have her as a student. By the time she was a fully grown woman, she had become a grim warrior. However, the fields of battle were not to be her home. Demacia needed a protector, one who hunted those lost to the darkness. Shauna used her family's contacts to become the first Night Hunter, and now her prowess is the stuff of legends. It is said that those who practice the black arts quake when they hear that the Night Hunter is on the prowl. Despite her crusade, Shauna has looked at the League of Legends in horror. There are champions who have clearly lost themselves to the blackest of magics, and who have been embraced within the League even though they should be put down for the safety of all. The time has come for the Night Hunter to execute her secret mission – to purge the League of Legends.

Not all shadows are to be feared. At least, if Vayne has her way.

Abilities:

Night Hunter (Passive): Vayne ruthlessly hunts evil-doers. She gains bonus Movement Speed when moving toward nearby enemy champions.

Tumble: Vayne tumbles, maneuvering to carefully place her next shot. She rolls toward the cursor and her next attack deals bonus damage.

Silver Bolts: Vayne tips her bolts with a rare metal, toxic to evil things. The third consecutive attack or ability against the same target deals a percentage of the target's maximum Health as bonus true damage. (Max damage vs. Monsters is capped)

Condemn: Vayne draws a heavy crossbow from her back, and fires a huge bolt at her target, dealing damage and knocking them back. If they collide with terrain, they are impaled, dealing bonus damage and stunning them.

Final Hour (Ultimate): Readying herself for an epic confrontation, Vayne gains increased Attack Damage, stealth during Tumble, and quadruple the bonus Movement Speed from Night Hunter.

Reading the info on Vayne made her sound kinda boring. But seeing the spotlight on her changed my mind, she looks pretty fun. Now I'm torn between getting her or Malz next.
 
I am never laning against Vanye in Mid as Anivia. I can see her just rolling into me and autoattacking me to death xD.

And yeah, Malz and Maokai are back.

I kinda want to buy the Rammus skin on sale now, but they're releasing a Ninja Rammus skin soon.
 
I like to play a custom game to see when I can get my Win of the Day. But I can't add bots to a custom game. I joined one game, host never starts it and I kept getting brought back to it when I left.

There's no point to playing this game on patch days.
 
Just updated and tried to log in. My position in queue is listed as "Over 9000"!
I wish they had a picture of an angry Vegeta when that happens

Hey whats this BS? I had like a 15 minute wait, and it jumped to like 35!
