Point?

That you shouldn't stereotype people as Jackie Chan, Charlie Sheen.

Gold items take around 25-27 minutes depending on the item if you choose to keep it. If you sell it.. well pomegranate. That's just dumb ._.

Back in the old days, gold generating items didn't actually build into anything. Yes, there was no such thing as Youmuu's Ghostblade, Randuin's Omen, or Shurelya's Reverie. (This is an aside, but doesn't Avarice Blade + Vampiric Scepter build into Executioner's Calling?)

The calculations back then were dependent on how long it took for those items to pay for the difference of (buy price - sell price). For that reason they were pretty dumb xD

At first you would want to get the recomended items as not to get a headache, but after level 10 or so starting to know how to build items effectively without depending on the recommend items is essencial.

Also Alistar Health Recovery skill is minimal at best (Its useful, but doesnt make a great impact later on), he really shines at Disabling enemies with pulverize in team fights, or flash behind a enemy champ and use headbutt to send him near a tower/allied champs while using your ultimate to leave almost unscratched from the 60+% damage reduction (If you happened to flash in the middle of a group of enemies).

@above: i started to learn about support and Jungle Roles as soon as lvl 15 or less, Problem?

While that is certainly optional it's in no way recommendable. I don't know if you mean by learning about the support and jungle roles as in learning the current meta-game as that should be fairly obvious by then, or actively playing them a lot. Assuming the latter this is what I've to say:

The early levels lack the cooperation from a team that a support needs and with a jungler you usually leaves an angry, flaming and failing solo top because he can't handle the very common 2vs1 scenario's. You'll still have ad carries, if you even find yourself so lucky to be among one at all, failing last hits and plain playing bad. It doesn't give a very satisfying game experience to fail your lane, purely because your ad carry failed that much, which are so very much needed in the beginning of the game to well keep at it. You'll most likely learn jungle routes that don't require a certain rune set/masteries or you'll yourself buying the tier 1/2 sets (which is never recommendable), which will let you into habits that you've to unlearn yourself as you progress. As the opposing team usually lacks a jungler you also start to learn to count on having for example 2 blue's, whereas this is hardly ever the case in 'higher level' games.

I know I need to work on punctation and my English. Sorry I'm tired

Practicing Jungle/support != Actually doing jungle/support

Besides... ITS NOT FRIGGING RANKED (And maybe isnt a PvP game either)

Not being ranked makes it any less important to try your hardest to win? I really hate that excuse being used. As I said earlier it, it brings a lot of complications with it, which I'm not going to repeat if you just glanced over my post, which I suppose you did, since you yourself have such a short reply to it.

Ranked means Bigger Effort to win because with each ELO gameplays change afaik.

Playing normal doesnt mean less interest/important in winning but you can get away with doing a pineappleing lot of things in normal games that you CANT do in ranked games.

Also: Big Posts doesnt mean you also need to give a Big Reply to it.

Some people agree that tier 1 runes are an ok buy because they are very cost-effective, and at lvl 20 you can just toss them in the rune-combiner and lose maybe, 500 ip.

I build them all the time
Its just brawler's glove, not the entire avarice blade
*cough* Jungle yi

I need (or rather, want) to play more weird-but-decent junglers

@ You high-level players:
You didn't read that.

Yi is actually a terrifying jungler if you really know what you're doing. His damage is simply crazy if done correctly, his invasion is laughably strong and his ability to be that annoying guy is sky high.

I'd rather buy tier three runes at level 20 and just champions from 1-20 so I don't waste IP at all .

Oh ho, you'd be very surprised, sir.

I meant the part after-
Icwhatudidthere i think

I need to play more Shaco. For some reason I'm not confident with him but I've carried the last 4 or 5 games on SR I've played with him. I don't like how squishy he is but it's so easy to get fed ganking with him.

Other than the fact that all four of his skills can be used to escape, he's in "will die if stared at" tier of squishiness. If you have absurdly good timing with R, you can use it to negate things like Karthus' R.

Backdoor Shacos are obnoxiously annoying to deal with, because a competent one will almost never get killed by a single champion, and if you send more than one, your team is gimped in whatever they're doing elsewhere (most likely a team fight).

Gecko's Christmas Maokai art time lapse video. She's just too good! (She said in her OP that she will apply to Riot. Hope that "Riot hire this woman!" comes true, lulz)
