"Tank" Malphite vs "Tanky DPS" Xin Zhao? But I mean like, he went full on Tank build. FoN, Banshee's, Randuin, Thornmail, Sunfire. I just followed my normal Tanky DPS build.

Xin Zhao gains more HP/level and has a higher base HP. Does that explain a lot?

Amumu, in contrast, has a slightly lower base HP, and gains slightly less HP per level.

Just played a game with Manu where I lost. We were able to hold them off early on simply because we warded crucial areas in the river as well as our jungle, which gave us heads up for any upcoming ganks (the other team had an jungling Udyr). Though one notable thing I did was stealing Baron from the other team (though 4 of us died afterwards )

>play shen

>team gives no fucks and goes back even though you ping

>play shen
>save someone at low HP with Stand United
>they go back thinking they're invincible and get killed

>play shen
>be ignored by team for most of game
>get yelled at for not dashing when I have low energy/not SUing because it's on cooldown

Remind me why I tank. My team forgets I exist until they need me for something.

I understand that, but I highly doubt that gap difference will net me an extra 900 HP when my only "Tank" items were Randuin, Thornmail, and BV. Ah well, just mind boggling really lol

Reminds me of my last game. Malph would initiate and only I would join in the fight, the other 3 were too busy being braindead and tower camping.

In other news, there's rumors flying around that Noct is getting nerfed again, because he "gets banned a lot in high ELO play". I swear, sometimes the reasoning Riot gives is really stupid.

It's another one of the weekends where I'm just getting crushed.

...I don't notice anyone uber strong about Nocturne.

I haven't see a Rumble yet, though.

Man i wanna kill myself, 6-8 lost in a row even once on a 3vs3 map where is so easy to win as a noc .

I honestly don't know how people can like smurfing... First thing I notice is how I miss runes and masteries, second thing, good lord team mates suck, they don't just suck they JESUS THEY SUCK. Their skill for the game is compared to the sense on that last sentence. I decided to try out kayle since she kicked our asses on a game earlier on my main account, and since she's cheap, I went for it on smurf.

First game, THREE people from my team are brain dead, Ryze fed like insane, his excuse was that it was first time ryze, but doesn't matter the character, you don't face check bushes 10 times ( not kidding, I counted the times he died doing it ) He was the worst laning partner ever. we were against an ashe and a Mal and they got so pineappleing fed with him, it was insane... Top lane was lost in less than 10 mins because the 2 guys at top sucked (a Yi and Ez), only decent player (Read: did not feed, but wasn't good anyway) was Sona at mid.

Second game I get paired with the same Ashe and Malphite that had just kicked my ass, on champ selection 'Hey are you Manu the kayle that laned with a horrible Ryze?' 'We're Ashe and Mal who got fed '.... seriously... ok at least I knew this time 2 on my team were good, the other 2 were a Vlad and an Ez, Ez fed and Vlad was stupid but helped (He would pool while moving from lane to lane, or when anything, seriously he just pooled everywhere and all the time). After a Fed kat on the other team and a fed Yi, their MF dced, and I farmed from all the minion waves around to get built on Kayle, so we had an easy late game, with me kicking ass killing and supporting, they also had no tank so it wasn't hard to take them out.

Endline, I found Kayle to be much of a late game champion, she's fun once you're built up, but early it just feels slow, might have been cause I missed masteries and runes too though.

^ I feel for ya Manu.

So erm, is it really worth buying and learning how to use an jungle Udyr? Atm, I don't have the "recommended" flat dodge (Seal) runes and the flat CDR (Glyph) runes. I can use the flat armor and MR runes that I use for my tank champs I use...but not sure if that's the best for a jungling Udyr.

Eh, going dodge runes on him is good since you're relying a lot on getting those procs as high as possible if you want to go the fastest jungling route, but I'm pretty sure you can just choose a different skill order and go slightly slower instead. So I guess it's kind of up to you. I haven't done much jungle Udyr, but from what I tried on him a while back when he was free, he's not terribad with regular tank runes, and the dodge runes in particular are only useful late game against aaers so most of the time they won't do much for you. I'd say wait til he's free and giving him a try out with your regular tank runes if you don't mind waiting. Otherwise, just pick him up and give it a try.

Jesus, just found something shocking, the new champion coming?

You're 2-3 days late.

Not even level 17 can save me from the "Smurf" status!
Brb, gotta get strong!

Awww... Hadn't read it here in SP though... I was reading that 'what do you want from E3' thread, and it reminded me of D3 so I checked the site and found this new class ( last time I checked it wasn't there ), to my surprise it was basically Vayne.

So since Udyr has no ultimate, and has four stances - that have level 5 as its max skill level each - instead. Which stance (or stances) do jungle Udyr players leave unmaxed?

Sorry for double post but....

 Jungle Udyr on Co-Op Vs AI

Holy f'uck. Jungle/Off-Tank Udyr is so godly. Stance dancing rocks! Definitely worth the 3150 IP I used on him.

It's cause he's ONLY good at jungling lol
Lane Udyr = lolwat you baddie!?

He's definitely a beast though.

Udyr = Beast in Norweigan. Perfect fit.

Had a terrible game where everyone instalocks ad champs and then I have to grab a tank. I figured I'd go Nunu to help them with my as speed buff, but oh god was it bad. >_< No AP, not even Teemo or Yi went AP, and then they fed Kat like crazy. Sigh, dealing with MF and Ez bot lane was tough too, even after I went full on consume leveling. But uh, as you can see, they all went aspeed pretty much, and yeah, just terrible.

Thankfully, the game I had after that, I did a 4 man premade with some people who are decent to good on average, and I went full Tank Cho and dominated their Rammus + Maokai top. You know it's bad for them when you take on the two of them and Yi and survive, plus kill one. XP Ended at 11/3/11. A few of those kills belonged to my teammates, but still, it felt superb after that terribad game.

 Jungle Amumu ---> Unkillable Amumu

Early game, things looked bad for us. It looked like we might lose. I had a horrible start, notably making a gank that I highly regret.

Mid game, teamfights weren't looking good for us. We won some, but we lost some. Then when we were around Baron checking, we decided to pull a quick one and so we got Baron. We pushed them a little bit since we were still the underdogs, and didn't want to go too far.

Late game, things started turning around. We started winning the teamfights. We got Baron twice more, and pushed. We got their towers, and inhibitors. We took out all of their base turrets and inhibitors at one point (except the Nexus turrets). Everything was good for us at that point. Though it took us with the Baron buff the 3rd time around to finish them off.

(One lame late-game highlight: After tanking and having <100 HP left, I go back to mid and started recalling. Then Twitch sneaks up on me and instagibs me. I was pissed. Then he steps on a Teemo shroom, and he himself got killed. Had to say "Karma hurts, eh?" because that was just too funny to pass up)

And of course, the nearly hour-long game allowed me to get my full build; I became a solid, well-rounded tank. Even before I got Guardian Angel, I was pretty much unkillable; I could take in lots of damage while taking out the priority targets (ex: Twitch).

In case you were wondering: 330+ Armor, 230+ MR at the conclusion of the match. 70%+ damage reduction ftw! It was pretty funny to see the enemy Ashe, or Twitch, popping only <100 damage on me per hit at most.

LOL THOSE BUILDS.

So much attack speed. So many zerker greaves.

I would've taken Zerkers. Opposing team only had 3 slows, 1 silence, and 1 knock-up, where only 1 champion had the silence and knock-up and it was the tank.
