 FINALLY LEVEL 30 =D

And with a win!

So I played my 2nd match with Manu today. So we queue, and he gets Sona, I go Udyr. Of course, I go and do my thing: jungling. So we started off bad; didn't make a lot of good ganks. We were initially losing, with Tristana - notably - harassing the hell out of us. Then our Cho starts raging at how Zilean was building AD, and threatened to quit (even though the build was weird, our Zilean was doing a good job as support). But things calmed a bit. Then things turned around when we pushed back, with our Twitch getting a triple kill (very risky thing, given how he was only semi-protected). Then we proceeded to ace them, took out their entire mid lane + inhibitor. I went and took out their top 2nd row turret, then their base turret (man Tiger Stance rocks!), and nearly had their top inhibitor when Tristana came to counter me. She nearly got me, then Manu comes and gives me some support. Then he stuns Tristana, and I proceeded to stun and use Tiger Stance on her, and nearly killed her. Had to run since I saw the enemy coming after me. I was about to get my Triforce when they surrendered.

Still have lots to work on Udyr. Had some unnecessary deaths that I'll need to work on. But I did pull two tower dives for two of my kills. Gotta love Turtle Stance saving my ass many times, tower diving or not.

Finally started winning again, got 4 wins in a row with sona today, so it's either:
Sona is fucking awesome.
My teams were nice. ( 1 with kaj and prescott, 2 with will)
People who play on weekends suck, as in I get bad teams and good enemies.

Weekends tend to have a larger share of casual players on . . . the type who go "Lulz i dunz care about winning noobz no lifer gamer". A vast exaggeration, but you get the idea. That, plus a lot more people playing on weekends, well it just increases your odds you'll be stuck with baddies beyond your normal numbers.

Stream up, waiting for a game to start.

Release Notes v1.0.0.118

--GP's ult now slows more at lower levels, and for some reason Riot is giving more incentives for GP to melee people. Apparently its passive poison isn't enough of a tactic?
--Jarvan IV's annoyance factor has been reduced via nerfs.
--Jax can now be more awesome by casting spells mid-flight like most other champs can.
--Karthus is a bit less like a pomegranate pineapple peach smoothie. He now has to obey the laws of respawning like everyone else, and his ult scales less with AP.
--Lee Sin got a significant energy cost decrease on all his skills. Expect a lot more fancy combos from everyone's favorite blind monk! Oh, and energy runes are a serious consideration on him now if you've looked at the mathcrafting.
--Nocturne got late-game damage nerfs to his skillz.
--A glitch with Nunu's ult will no longer fking surprise you when he deals full damage instantly. Yes, it's happened to me a few times.
--Rumble is less fat.
--Shen's Ki Strike now has less base damage, and now scales off of bonus HP instead of his max HP. The break-even point is 800 HP from items. wtp Riot, wtp. Oh, and Vorpal Blade damage is nerfed late-game.
--Trundle's pillar will no longer appear randomly while you're exploring places. False alarms no more.
--TF and Sona will no longer auto-attack without your fking permission when they have locked an auto-attack enhancer.

--Tenacity has replaced CC reduction in the world of items! All tenacity is UNIQUE. 1 point of tenacity = 1% CC duration reduction. Debuffs not included by previous CC reduction but included by tenacity include blinds and silences.
--Catalyst now grants you less HP and MP over a period of 8 seconds instead of all at once when you level up. No more cheese tactics.
--Rod of Ages now has Catalyst's passive! Pretty gravy, but minor buff.
--Wit's End no longer drains mana, but now grants MR per attack. If you were looking at Wit's End as an option for overcoming a lane's stayability, you're out of luck.

--Passives that have a duration to them now have timers just like your regular skills. Some skills with conditional uses also have modifications to their icon.
--Heimerdinger can no longer kill Baron Nashor cheaply by camping turrets next to him while not being nearby. Jerk.
--Teleport canceling now lasts 1 second instead of .5 seconds. Not sure why Riot decided to do this, but it could be significant if enemy champions suddenly show up in your face while you're teleporting.
--Some skillshots now correlate better with their target zones. Derp!

ROFL PHREAK GAVE FB!! MAP AWARENESS FAILURE!!

EDIT: whoops double post >.<

Mmm catalyst... Now i guess there is a reason to rush it and upgrade it to your convenience, instead of just rush it.

Unless you're trying to get BV.

Multiple Tenacity effects do not stack, but Tenacity does stack multiplicatively with other disable reductions (for example Irelia's Ionian Fervor).

Irelia and Singed forever OP.

Turrets will now correctly respond to calls for help when an allied champion who is Taunted, Feared, or Stealthed is attacked

About freaking time.

Man Phreak sure likes to feed....lol. Though he's 4-6-2 atm.

Shame I don't have cash. That new Caitlyn skin is one of the better ones.

That Vayne attack speed. Tipped 2.0 with Ult with DONG B, but after he sold it he was tipping 1.8. That's pretty nuts.

EDIT: Inb4 "Tumble" resets the attack timer.

And Phreak wins?!

Vayne's pretty cool. A nightmare for skillshot champs. Tumbletumbletumble. Might buy. Ult stealth is crazy short, and they mentioned tumble can't cross terrain, but a pretty good set. Crazy squishy. Maybe Sheen>Mercs>Bloodrazor>Banshee's>Trinity>Glacial Shroud? (She's got crazy low mana and the CD for the stun bolt and armor help)>Black Cleaver
Weird build.

And Phreak the feeder wins?!

Fixed.

Must. Eat. Baklava.
Vayne's dance is good.

Irelia and Singed forever OP.

Mundo's going to throw a Cleaver at you. Possibly two.

But...Mundo does what he pleases!
Also the new item, Eleisa's Miracle, will be really nice for Mundo. Although I don't know if many people will take it in favor of losing the Gold/5 benefit from the Philo Stone.

I don't see myself taking any of the new items on any of my characters over Merc Treads.

Not particularly, just take Merc Treads and go. With Mundo the main priority is getting to 30% CDR which isn't hard with masteries, runes, Spirit Visage, and Youmuu's.

I see you in this thread Purp, remember the eye situation.

I don't see myself taking any of the new items on any of my characters over Merc Treads.

Yeah, same. I mean the "Cloak and Dagger" item is nice and all, but it really only benefits a small handful of champions.

I'd rather just take a Banshee's over a tenacity item any day =/.
