Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

I have a question for my runepages, based on the runes I have since I won't buy more for now, should I keep -cooldown glyphs or put shielding (MR/lvl) glyphs on my AD page?

What AD champions do you have?

What AD champions do you have?

The AD champions that I OWN are Ashe and Tristana only, though you can play Eve AD and Jax is sort of hybrid. Also, I like Cait a lot but haven't bought her.

I put MR/lvl ones on because im a cheap ass and already had them from my tank page but either are completely viable.

Up to you really if you want to be able to spam your skills a bit more or have a bit more natural defenses against magic damage.

I just had a HORRIBLE game as jungle amumu, when I started I asked someone in my team to hit golem once, Blitz went around and grabbed it so it stayed out of my AoE tears, once I got near the golem by turning around, it started walking back to its place, ignoring me, he healed up once he got back in place and all this time the minions were attacking me, I was popping my potions but once I got it as low as I could with very low HP on me, I smited and died, golem stayed there, then furious (and VERY stupidly) I jumped at it once again and noticed halfway through that I didn't have smite off cooldown, so it killed me again, by the time I revived people on mid were 4, enemy jungler had already finished his course and I was lvl 1.

I went back to golem once again to find their jungle nunu going at the minions, after killing golem, I ping him and jump on him tryng to hold him while my team got there, after a while, Ray went help me from bot and Purple stayed on mid, nunu run with VERY low hp and so did enemy Vayne who went help...

Anyway, things got a little better mid game but we were crashed anyway, sorry for playing like I did Ray and Purp, it was horrible.

That Blitz is sooooo doing the leashing wrong.

Manu if you need pointers on jungle Amumu, let me know. It does take time to start getting the hang of him.

On Unrelated news, I wanna try mundo, can I get tips for him? (builds mainly)

I find Mundo works best without a build. My core items are Spirit Visage, Ghostblade, and Mercury's Treads, other than that it's whatever I need. I get an Emblem of Valour (that pomegranate is really cheap...) if I'm not doing so great, Atma's if and when I need armour, Stark's might be a core item but I rarely ever get to it (keep in mind that game we just played was the first game I played as Mundo against not-bots), and uh... Warmog's and FoN maybe, never actually got this far before.

I really need to play a normal game with jungle amumu with SPers, I need to show that I actually can jungle with him and do it pretty nicely too xD but that game just made it look like I completely and utterly suck.

9/0/16 Anivia with 20 stack Leviathan + Mejai's and GA. CryOPhoenix cannot die.

It was easy mode btw, since I played with Tylarizard and friends at his request.

Rammus is a terrible jungle. He isn't sustained and can barely counter jungle without any help. Furthermore, he can't even control baron and dragon by late game and dragon he can barely control at all early game. The only reason to play jungle rammus is to get fed with ganks and then end the game on the 20 minute mark. Also, he isn't a reliable tank until late game. Lane rammus> Jungle.

Mundo build: Doran's shield> Mercs> Visage> Phantom Dancer> Triforce> IE/PD> IE/PD
Get defensive items as needed, if needed. I'm considering not getting triforce as I'm doubting it's worth taking it over another PD or triforce.

 2 games with Purple and Manu

1st game: We had no problem as we were pretty much killing them left and right. By the 20 minute mark, the score was extremely lopsided; we had a lot of kills and very few deaths. Lets just say the other team had to surrender due to the fact we were holding them in death's grasp whenever we started teamfights. The death I had was from a lousy move I made while conducting a gank. >_>

Purple dominated with Blitz early on. Manu pretty much got hella fed mid game. I ganked, stole buffs, and snared the other team whenever I could.

2nd game: I let Manu use jungle Amumu this time. He performed fairly well. However, our team made some bad moves that put us out of position, and we were routed in those teamfights as a result. Though we got our acts together, and the other team surrendered.

I didn't do so well with Twitch. The two deaths were as a result of very bad positioning, and I racked up too many assists, not kills. Extremely unacceptable. >_>

You wanna talk about bad positioning?

 Positioning is not the main point of the picture. How did Nidhulum get there?

Yeah, 5 deaths in the first ~25 minutes. One in the last 25. Wasn't even in the wrong place at the wrong time, was just too far forward for the amount of focus I was getting.
But how'd that guy get in our post game?

Ahh, much better.

Played a rank game for the first time in a long time today, was jungle trundle. Started off real bad with our morde getting caught in the river before minions spawned. And a bit later morde was chased into our jungle, me and our mid went to help and that didn't turn out too good when 3 of them showed up. All of our lanes were pushed, so no gank chances, so i just got decently farmed and we turned it around mid game. Other team loved to focus morde so i just went to town on their carries. Real facepalm moment when one person said they were going to get oracles, i said dont as i have it already, we meet up to push mid and four of us now have an eye ball floating above us >.>

Is that a name change glitch?

Just had a game with much more serious players in it this time (with Zendaine of sp.net and his friends).

I ended up top Ashe vs. Ashe. She started with Doran's Blade, while I started with a Long Sword + pot. I didn't do too well early game because they had globals (Pantheon + Shen), and I did a few mistakes that got me in hot water. Often times the teams would clash and, while not entirely wiping in any case, we all had heavy casualties, until the last two team fights.

I can't say for certain what exactly happened beyond AoE damage, but the turnout between stacking Doran items and basic starter items certainly had me thinking about overall game dynamics. Just about the only difference in playing style between me and the other Ashe was BT and PD.

 Was not easy, but GG

Reason why I got the BT was because to combat assassin champs like Kassadin while further boosting my DPS. Though I would still die if I get jumped on by two of them.

Ya know, dat one assist.....

I disagree strongly and i have very different experiences, i did nothing but jungle rammus and it paid off so much more.

I think he means Rammus gets outshined by far too many other jungling champions in where they can do everything he can, but tons better. Hell, even Xin outshines him now.
He used to be good, but due to the change of the meta, he's fallen rather far down the list of "Good" junglers to where a dozen other champions do better than him now.

I didnt say anything about there not being better junglers, he's far from the best jungler, i can agree with that. But jungle rammus is for ganking, all the time not farming, he can sustain himself in the jungle though, DBC leaves him with barely any damage from the creeps.

Regardless, i personally hate playing other people in the jungle than rammus, udyr, WW & malphite.

Though, as Josh mentioned, Rammus does jungle a bit slower and any champ that are better junglers can outshine him. Though yes, he can jungle to pull instagibs from the bushes.

By any chance Unleashing, do you use Wriggles on Rammus? Whenever I jungle with him once in a long while, I find that item very useful for me for jungling. Lifesteal (sustain myself in the jungle and lanes + clear creep waves), armor (adds a good 6-8 AD due to my passive + adds a tiny bit to DBC), AD (I can hit harder obviously), and of course, the 500 damage proc, which I find very, very useful for him since he is pretty damn slow at clearing the jungle without it.
