Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

Just had the easiest ranked game ever. They got only one kill at the end when we got too confident. Forced surrender at around 25-30 minutes. Babysat Ashe as Janna and our Trundle was a great ganker, our mid Annie was dominating and our Leona soloed top easily. Winning was a breeze (lolpun).

I've always felt uncomfortable to some extent on jungle lee. I blame the fact that I always rush trinity force and end up super squishy while not doing much damage until I actually finish it, and afterwards I usually have to build some tankiness so my damage is ass. I think I'll just go bloodthirster after wriggle's since it'll give me more damage early on and keep my burst high while I build tank.

Support are awesome in ranked!

Thanks bro, I wasn't on to say it myself so now I know you got my back. lol

just played a game were for the first time i wanted to lose. my teammates were just so dumb and worthless for 90% of the game.

Had one of those last night when I was trying to play sion. I first picked him and got trolled with 3 AD melees + free week vayne.

And they ran their mouth from minute 1. I built like a jackass and in general did not try after I realized I was being trolled.

Just had a great game as Janna, I must say she's the best support there is, her cc is really useful and her shield can buff and defend your carry a lot! Ended up like 3/1/15, with a full stacked mejai's or 18 stacks maybe.

What should I do in this situation? I had too much money and didn't know what the hell to do with it so just got another cap. Ended the game with a lot of cash still.

I would strongly suggest a defense item, based on enemy stats and characters, if you're going to get 1 defense item only I'd get a Banshee's Veil, the MR would help you against Annie, Kat and Teemo, and the passive spell block would help you against the stuns, silences and the random shrooms you probably steped into.

I would have recycled Mejai's into something more stable, but it's situational.

Also, buy all four elixirs! Woohoo! Godmode initiate!

I had Banshee's but swapped it out late game. I was still being focused on in team fights because I could end them easily with a nuke, so I felt extra damage was needed over defence since the extra defence didn't seem to make too much of a difference at that point. The caps don't even stack, do they?

As far as I know the caps do stack.
Also if you feel the BV wasn't working out, maybe a Zhonya's Hourglass would work for you. If you can unleash your spell combo before you're focused and die, you can use the active to enter stasis and be invincible for 2 seconds.

the % bonus does not stack, but the ap does.

Ah, I was thinking of that too, but pretty much just made my choice and left it at that.

Nice to know, thanks.

If you somehow manage to fully load an Archangel's Staff, it'll give out more damage than another cap.

3% of mana -> AP would need to give more than 95 AP (since the AA gives 45) which means you'd need to have more than 4666 mana for that to be true. This means you need ~3200 mana after the AA is done. Or about 1800 mana before you start. Haven't played annie in months, but I'm sure she gets past 1800 mana on her own right?

If you get deathcap+ two AA then you'll definitely do more damage than just three deathcaps. That much I know for sure.

If a game went on long enough, an Annie build id have would be

RoA, Boots, Deathcap, Void Staff, Hourglass, Banshees.

and on the subject of Annie, heres a 1v1 i had against my friend lol Pretty sure i only won because he got a bit too aggro and i unloaded on him.

I dont really see any reason to stack deathcaps. It might be the highest AP item, but then again you could get something like Hourglass which ups your armour, has the active, and adds 100 ap for like the same price.
I'd also say RoA would be better than Rylais. You dont really need slow procs on a Burst character like Annie, and if you got the Catalyst portion of the RoA early, it will really help you in lane.

So, this was a while back, but... I'm playing Ryze... and I spot that the ENTIRE enemy team was AD.

They were just begging for it.

Tear of the Goddess, Sorcs, 3 Frozen hearts, Thornmail. (At least that's what I was going for, I only managed to get 2 FHs). I just went around jungle farming and letting them push my teammates... then went in and pwnd... youmad AD carries?

I've rekindled my mad love of Gragas. AP runes make for an awesome first few levels. Also an excellent answer to someone like Caitlyn in a solo. Especially bad ones. Open with Doran's ring, first back another doran's and boots usually. Then straight to Deathcap >

Team was useless, we were only winning because I dragged them to teamfights kicking and screaming. Nocturne killed someone and then died every single time he used his ult. Kat tried to tower dive Fiddlesticks. The other team tried to kill me (most of my deaths were my team trooping off to a minion wave in another lane in the middle of a teamfight or just outright ignoring me). Disgusting game in general.

Renekton MVP my ass, I destroyed them that game and got a loss as my reward.

I usually get Rylais for when someone escapes with a little health since Tibbers usually has problems catching up to them unless he's slowing them down. In that case my team mates can score a kill. It's helped me get those final runaways in a lot of team fights, but I'll keep in mind that RoA would be a better choice if I had to choose between the two. I've been pretty much just going with either one.
