Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

Saw it on Reddit, but didn't think it was worth mentioning since you can't move in order for this bug to fully work. It's still pretty funny.

I loled.

Fiddlesticks is meh.

You'll find out later that Fiddles is hella annoying + gay when he is used right. (He has one of the best ganking capabilities in the game after he reaches a certain level). Think CAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAW + his CCs.

So I'm sitting at 6085 IP and thinking of buying Kog'Maw once I hit 6.3k because I could use another ranged carry other than Ashe and Tristana.
I've played him a couple times during his past free weeks but not enough to actually know how to use him properly. Read through a few guides to understand how his kit works and I'm just wondering if anyone experienced with Kog like Kaj could give me tips on item builds and rune setup.
Also, what is he a good counter for? I'm assuming tanky teams, especially a team with Singed, because of his ability to just melt hp off.

@ Connor: When I was screwing around with Koggles the last time he was free, I usually build a lot of on-hit items (my items of choice are Malady, Madreds Bloodrazor, Wit's End). For shoes, I get Berserker Greaves. With these items + BAB, you'll be able to deal A LOT with your autoattacks in mere seconds due to proccing lots of on-hit effects and having tons of AS; it will destroy almost anyone very fast in many instances. The last 2 items can be either more offensive/CC or defensive/survival (to protect your squishy ass) depending on game situation. These may include, but not limited to, Frozen Mallet, Wriggle's Lantern, Banshee's Veil, etc.

Any TK glitch is worth looking at imo. Yes, this one is the most absurd in terms of conditions, but still xD

If the other team has no assassins or real gap closers, Koggles will have a field day. OF DOOM!!!!

This is what I feel is best for Kog'Maw:
-- First six levels, WEWQWR or WQWEWR
-- R > W > Q > E
-- AS specs. Don't go overboard on it though.
-- Boots + pots out of the starting gate.

As usual, what you get depends on the makeup of the other team and what your lane is. Kog'Maw can spec all three damage routes with various degrees of success (AP is the weakest). If you're going to specialize in Living Artillery (AD build), better start on your Manamune early. Poking at 40 MP per shot is just retardedly slow, but land a barrage of good shots, and you have a team at half health before long. Watch your (de)buff icon to see what your cost per shot is currently at. AS build Kog'Maw has THE HIGHEST single-target DPS of ANY traditional ranged carry on average. Ironically I think a fully farmed Tristana or Corki still destroys Kog'Maw though.

Positioning and map awareness will be your friend when playing Koggles, and if you don't have great skill in either, it can hurt you. You could be trying to attack someone from far away, only to have another enemy champ "sneak" up from your flank and kill you because you weren't watching. This is especially true in jungle warfare. If you can peg someone with R, you can auto-attack them around various corners and beyond walls. Also keep in mind that, with exception to E, anything you do to attack will give away your position and possibly your teammates (because you're next to them). In the case of R, if you hit someone, they will be able to see you.

Wriggle's Lantern is a no-go for late game, if you don't have it already.

Sometimes offense is your best defense. I know this situation doesn't do what I just said any justice, but one time I was running away from a losing fight, and Ezreal + Kassadin managed to catch up to me. I didn't think I would live because of the slow, so I decided to attack one of them instead. I killed Kassadin before they could kill me (I was actually trying to target Ezreal, but I didn't want to waste time clicking).

In certain other situations, I was able to punish over-zealous melee champs by chucking E at them, then proceeding to DPS them down. This requires anticipation. It's not as good for running away, but sometimes it makes a difference between their successful tower dive and getting away with it, and you getting revenge.

Phreak confirms patch possibly next week.

You're right; we dropped the ball by not saying that we weren't patching the week of Sept. 6. Sorry.

We're looking at early next week (3 week champion patch). Obviously these dates can change so don't say, "OK man I gotta get it by the 13th! 100%!" but yes.

Season 1 coming to an end!

Inb4 Wednesday nonpatch scheduled downtime maintenance

Wouldn't be surprised if we have downtime on Thursday, due to Monday being a holiday.

So now that school started, I can only play on the weekends. Ha ha.

That blows :| I liked queueing with you most nights.

Played an awesome game as lux last night in solo queue. We had zero tanks.

It was...
lux (me)
tryndamere
cait
Warwick
Yi (I think)


We were all squishy and were 4/5 AD.

The other team had Leona and Garen... so 1.5 tanks. There was tons of trash talk from them about how bad of a team we were. We proceeded to trash them 8D

They had some decent ambushes during the team fights. They all built armor of course. They got demolished by my spells during team fights though.

When we saw no one on the map we figured they were at baron... so we rushed over. Their garen died to baron lol. Everyone else scattered and their stupid leona stayed near baron recalling >> While everyone else went after the runners, I went after leona. She was almost finished recalling when:

[all] Leona:"Omg I had like half HP left! why am I dead?! wtp?!"
[all] lux:"8D"

In general though, their team made pretty stupid mistakes. Someone on low HP was running away from me (their flash was on CD cause they had JUST used it). As they run away.... they run through the small ass gap between their turret and the edge of the map. Incoming lux ult = 100% hit rate

I c wut dey did thur.

Inb4 it becomes the new Rammus meme in the forums.

Season 1 ending is stickied in the general forums.

Dam I had forgotten how easy Coop vs AI was xD Decided to play one as Ez to get first win of the day cause I wanted to get it fast, and he's fun and he was free. Did like 23/2/19 both deaths from going too close to annie's bear drop. Thing is I almost got a quadra that would've been a penta if kat hadn't taken the last kill. Fun Fun.

Also, a question popped into my mind, what happens if you get a penta but someone uses revive and you kill him again?

y u feed?

6 multikill or higher = Legendary kill.

I think I'm doomed to forever solo queue with people who think they're cool because they say that their team sucks after they feed and then proceed to "go afk" in the fountain or sit in the fountain reminding us every 2 seconds of how bad we are and calling for surrenders. I hate my life.

Reginald being hella funny here (its a satire post, btw)

Triforce is ridiculous on kog. Oh my god.

Gman Bob did another song parody, although it's only 23sec long.

It's like a rule that I have my most pineapple-awful games when I queue with this one guy I know from school and his reasonably well-skilled companions. Seriously embarrassing games.

Don't worry...I'm the same way...
Feels bad, man.
