Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

While this looks extremely believeable, I'll call BS until someone proves this is official.

It would look real if it had Twisted Treeline.

Also, I've been playing Heimerdinger again, he's one of the first champions I "mained" and played a lot, he's so much fun and I've won almost every game because of his hard poking and strong pushing ability. Only game I lost with him was one I ranted about here, where we were 3v5 by the end.

All I'll say is, the background image is freaking awesome!

One of these days I swear I'll have a good game to post.

At this point I could probably play a perfect game (I don't at this point) and still lose because AT LEAST one person on my team is retarded. This Poppy ulted Cho'Gath. Every. Single. Time. Off the top of my head there are two wrong answers to "who do i use diplomatic immunity on", Cho'gath and Blitzcrank. My whole team complained about GP crits yet built approximately -1 armour items. (Wukong built that Thornmail in the last ~5 minutes because I was spazzing at him the whole game since he was the biggest complainer about GP's crits). Look at Cho's build. Why? BECAUSE HE pineappleING CAN NOT LIKE MY TEAM CAN DO ANYTHING TO THE OTHER TEAM. Most of Shen's assists came from him ulting the person Poppy was chasing at the moment, Poppy's kills were all from KSing me. I watched her for most of the game since Teemo was a non-threat in mid, she stunned exactly one person all game with Heroic Charge. God, look at that Wukong in post-game, he thinks he's all that but he was trash, he was terrible early since he was laning with a terrible Poppy, then he started following me around. Game after this featured my team instalocking Cait, Ashe, and Trist, then once we get into game Trist says "oh first time trist btw". Blew SO MANY KILLS because she didn't think to Rocket Jump to the other side of her Buster Shot target, giving them a dash out of the fight instead of a push into it.

Played a losing game with Bob and Manu just earlier. I was manning Malzahar.

I'm finally much better playing Mal. He is a lot of fun, and a great farmer too. And I realized I just need to farm and not harass too much on my own part. Early on, I managed to outfarm the enemy Vlad by over 40 CS, and if he got close to an Malefic Visions-infected minions, it would spread to him and pretty much did all the harassment work for me. I farmed a bit too much that I overextended and got ganked by 3 enemies from brush. Still didn't change crap though, had 130 CS by the time I got ganked.

However, we still lost. =\

I did horrible on that game. One little note of criticism, you were pushing too much and it was imposible for me to gank Vlad.

it was imposible for me to gank Vlad.

This will happen most of the time regardless.

Had two pretty awesome games today.

Picked up a triple kill with Singed in a losing match that had me going 10-6-18.

Did a full 5-man with a rather elegant team. Me on Corki 2v1 top, LeBlanc mid, Udyr Jungle, Taric and Leona bot. My friend playing Leblanc went up 3-0 on Vayne early but then lamented that he'd be worthless late game. But it worked out fine since Corki picks up as the game goes on :> Helped that the other team was Lux, Vayne, Akali, Tryndamere, Vayne. If any of them got out front, that was as good as being completely out of position.
LB was 6-3 ish when I was 1-1. But then they focused LB all game.

Also got a triple in this game.
We were pretty much in control the whole game, but it was rather dragged out.
[imgspoiler="Gold wins games"]http://i.imgur.com/shft0.png[/imgspoiler]
We had all three of the game's Barons, and at least 3 dragons on them. Even Taric out-earned everyone on their team but Tryn with 400 CS
Feels good man.

Karma is the peach
She was one of my favorite offensive supports. If she gets fed she turns into a AP Tank monster. If she doesn't get fed she is still helping the team when they need to be shielded. The only issue is that she needs to be farmed unlike other supports. She needs a decent amount of AP to have a good shield to protect her teammates and also heal them.

This will happen most of the time regardless.

I chuckled.

But with Nether Grasp, Null Zone, Malefic Visions, Call of the Void (if possible), and Ignite, can't pool your way out of danger. Problem?

I have a QSS, you're useless the whole game. Pretty sure QSS's cooldown is shorter than Nether Grasp's.

Nope.

nether: 120/100/80 (no CDR, obviously)
QSS: 90

Nope.

QSS: 90

Ok, so it's higher for 15 levels give or take 10% CDR. Point is, QSS hard counters Malzahar yet people I play with never pick up on this.

Had the weirdest team comp ever. Heim (me), Shaco, Alistar, Sona and Trundle. We were winning at some point but they had a way better comp (Rammus, Fid, Akali, Ashe and GP) and their Rammus was a beast, he actually had 10 kills and the best was GP with 12, he ganked a LOT (he was jungling) and teared us appart.

Edit: Lol last game was so long and easy that it was boring. I was with Foopah and another guy with 2 randoms, I was Singed and I just ran around doing nothing the whole game, just split pushing every lane and then trolling a bit (They were dumb enough to focus me while my team killed them all), I would just jump in with my ult and poison, run around slow people and throw some around, then die and my team would kill everyone. By the end I had RoA, Merc threads, FoN, Thornmail, Sunfire and Warmogs. At the very end, once the nexus towers were almost down, I just walked in the fountain and out alive with like REALLY low hp it was fun to do it (had INSANE regen, FoN+Warmogs+Baron+Ult) and like 4.6k HP

...why Warmog's? Get a BV, that item rules.

For more troll regen. Lol.

For more troll regen. Lol.

This. They didn't have much CC anyway and with mercs and ult it doesn't last long if there is any, actually I was always free of Amumu's ult before anyone on my team and running around poisoning. As I said I was trolling from the 20 minute mark cause the game was easy and boring. My other options for last item were a Phantom Dancer for speed or deathcap for lulz.

Warmog is just an optional item, and only get it if you and your team are doing really well and want to troll your opponents more. My preferred items on Singed are RoA, Merc Treads, BV, Frozen Heart, FoN, then either Guardian Angel, Sunfire Cape, or Rylai's Crystal Scepter to round everything off

[spoiler=Finally got the hang of Malzahar - he will definately be the next champ I'm going to buy!][/spoiler]
(Note: I do not know why our Leona had an AA. And lol @ Xin getting QSS because my team was taking him out too easily )

Yup, Malzahar is an effing awesome solo mid champ. During the loading screen, I had fears that if I was going against Kass, I'd be having a lot of problems. Fortunately, I was going against a Vlad. Since I knew what to do with him (very easy to shut him down), I simply just sat back, farmed, and went back when I pushed my own minion wave a bit too far.

I outfarmed Vlad by 40 CS by end of early game, and pretty much farmed like crazy throughout the game.

After I secured the kill on Vlad with Malefic Visions and Ignite, I had to flash out of a gank. Then Xin ganks me once more a bit later on, but I barely made it out alive. He then takes tower aggro, I see the opportunity to drop Malefic Visions and Ignite on him. Got the kill AND his red buff with less than 50 HP left.

He later tries to gank me once more later on, but I saw him coming out, then I just dropped my ultimate, which stopped him right in his tracks and ate up a LOT of his HP, then Malefic Visions to finish his greedy ass off.

Otherwise, this was a very good game for me. I got plenty of kills, though I made a few mistakes on my own that ended my killstreak a few times. Though I was sad when our Poppy got a triple kill in their base. I wanted that so badly.

 Tears of your tank

It is so depressing when you carry your entire team as Malphite, or any tank. I got more kills and assists than our two dps carries combined, I saved people from death countless times, yet not once during that epic length game would my team trust me to initiate. I lead them to the enemy when they're doing dragon, I lead them to the enemy doing our own golem, I find the enemy in intimate positions of heartbreaking vulnerability, yet our team would just not trust the tank.
If your tank is playing a perfect game, and tells you to follow him, then do it. Your tank will lead you to victory. Your tank will not lie to you. Your tank is the general, the philosopher, the shepherd, the chieftain. Lay aside your arrogance and realize who the tank is. What the tank is thinking, feeling.
You see the jungle as a scary place. Malphite sees that jungle as an opportunity. A place to build, to grow, to raise a family. He looks at you and wonders why you've died 12 times, giving the enemy about 10 million gold, yet haven't seen fit to buy a single ward that costs 90 gold--a mere couple creep kills, less than the cost of 3 potions. You could put a ward near golem. Near dragon. Maybe one near Baron. Then we could see with glorious clear eyes, instead of some suffocating black miasma. Malphite sees the jungle as a place full of flimsy, vulnerable bodies who've built solely for attack damage and AP, just waiting to be torn apart by a well-placed Unstoppable Force. Malphite will lead you to victory. That's a promise. Remember, Malphite isn't mad. He's just sorrowful. He's like a gentle dad who finds his son doing something wrong, and holds him close, trying to make him a better person through sheer grace of heart.
O, Physical carries and casters, you attract arrogant types, always looking out for number one, always thinking of that sweet k/d/r. Tanks? Tanks do it for the love. Do you think Alistair enjoys farming? Patiently pushing? Saving up laboriously for one of the maybe three items he'll get all game? Do you think we enjoy initiating only to find that you all ran back to base for no earthly reason, leaving us to slowly die a painful, lingering death?
For God's sake, I'm begging you, put aside your ruinous pride and let your tank help you, even as you plummet into hell. To all the Alistairs, Malphites, Shens, Ammumus, Singed, Rammus, and so on that have laid their life on the line for a bunch of unsophisticated, greedy, hooligan gluttons--we salute you. Maybe in Heaven someone will fucking let you initiate.
