 Was ABOUT to get Rabadon when the match ended...

Then again we got Baron + aced them. Eh, why not just give them a coup de grace?

I might do tanky DPS with Amumu now (Get my desired armor to counter the opponents, then stack my desired AP items) Plus my Bandage skill becomes a mini-nuke on squishies once I have Abyssal and Rabadon's Deathcap in my possesion. If Bandage + Despair + Curse of the Sad Mummy + Tantrum can take out over half of a squishies' HP, hey that's perfect!

Also, Level 21.

P.S. Noted that their Maokai was quite tanky. But I don't understand why he's using a Warmog. /rages

This game had some of the worst teamwork I've ever seen from both sides. I started laning with Nunu and he was useless. Olaf went mid (and raped). Seriously, zero teamwork. There were no proper team fights. No back and forth poking and teasing. Just unabashed killing. Cait got a double kill before minions even spawned. Our Tristana was reasonably terrible as well. This game is the closest I've come to insanity in LoL.

But yeah, I feel good not going tanky-AP on Gragas now (like Will seems to want to do?). RoA+Sheen+Drunk Rage is all I need.

Edit: Nunu was level 4. That would explain why he walked back to base.

WillDaSnail Wrote:I usually go AP tanky DPS with Amumu. Not Gragas. But either way, going part-AP on tanky Amumu is a nice thing; I told you in-game once I have Rabadon and Abyssal Scepter, my Bandage Toss is extremely deadly on squishies. It becomes a mini-nuke, per say.

But of course, before I build those 2 AP items, my first priority is to counter opponents by stacking armor/MR

Eddikins Wrote:Guys how do you go about building tanks?

I bought maokai and was following a guide in a custom and my friend said as a tank you are not ment to follow guides you are ment to build against the enemy team..but i dont know any 'tank' items and i dont really know how to analzye an enemy team..

 Spoiler

 4v5 and we still won

My friend (self-explanatory) dced for whatever reason. We were stuck with 4v5 and were sure that we were gonna lose. Played a lot of defense. So I decided to show my RL friends my new build and proceeded to go get Abyssal Scepter and Rabadon's Deathcap . Great choice. Now I was covering my own tanking role as well as nuking the shi't out of people whenever we were teamfighting.

Once I had my Rabadon and Abyssal Scepter, it was pretty much game over. Now I could take on an offensive role and tank at the same time!

One game highlight: It was me vs 3 enemies; I took out 2 people and forced Shen back when my team got heavily battered (1 back to base, 2 dead).

Another game highlight: Urgot showed himself, giving me a perfect opportunity to nuke him. AP items equipped, I threw my bandage. Took out 30% of his HP. Proceeded to kick his ass very hard with teammate support.

From now on: I will never invite that friend again who ditched us early in the game. I might even block him since he dared to pull this sh'it off in front of me. How f'ucking disrespectful to me and my RL friends. We had to work twice as hard to secure this huge victory. I'm really pissed off. I'm happy for the victory, but it came with a huge cost

Weird game bug: My friend was on Malphazar and at one point, he was stuck at 280 AP with Rabadon's Deathcap and a few other AP items. He restarted LoL, and that fixed the bug, bringing his AP to its appropriate levels, 500+ AP. But that bug hindered his carrying abilities while the bug was around

It seems more game-breaking than a "weird" bug if anything.

WillDaSnail Wrote:I also had the same problem about 3-4 weeks back, but this is the steps I follow whenever I tank.

- First, know that there are two types of champs: Physical and Casters.

- If you know the enemy champs you're dealing with are physical-based champs (Ashe and Tristana are the best examples), build armor.

- If they're stacking AP, in almost all cases, they are likely casters or stacking magic damage. Build MR.

- If you know you're dealing with enemies that are known casters (Annie, Nunu, Fiddlesticks, etc), build MR.

- Of course, once you get these down, there are at times where you cannot tell if a champ is going AD or AP (Tyramediere is a fine example in this scenario; he can either go AP or AD). Wait and look at what that player building before you make a decision on what to get.

- Know your enemy team composition. If the team is mostly AD-based (example: 3 AD and 2 Casters), at least 3 of your items should be Armor, and get at least a FoN (getting Mercury Treads is by default). If the team is heavily AD-based (4 AD and 1 Caster), then stack as much armor as you can, and get one piece of MR. Vice versa, if you are dealing with a caster-oriented team (3-4 casters on the enemy team), just start stacking MR and maybe get one Armor item if its needed.

- For countering physical (AD)-based champions: Randuoins Omen, Thornmail (best against physical DPS), Sunfire Cape, Frozen Heart, Atma's Impaler (if you're going tanky DPS), Glacial Shroud

- For countering caster champs: FoN, Banshee Veil, Abyssal Scepter (gives good amount of MR, though IMO its best used on mage tanks like Amumu), Negatron Cape (if you cannot build anything else), Mercury Treads (very important; you will be focused on a lot, and reducing CC effects will definitely help you stay alive a bit longer)

- For best of both worlds: Guardian Angel (though I rarely use this item when I'm tanking nowadays; most people get this as a late-game), Aegis of the Legion

- And of course, if you're in doubt about what the champ's type is, don't hesitate to ask. You don't want to build the wrong items and royally screw yourself and your team over.

- Also...DO NOT GET WARMOG ARMOR AS A WAY TO ROID YOUR HP UP.

Whats wrong with warmog though? I played a game against a Mundo who stacked warmogs and he was annoying as hell to bring down.. Can you not do the same type of thing with tanks?
