Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

For extra support points play Soraka, you have to buy wards, CV and constantly watch your team mates to ult.

Right. I didn't think of that.

You could also try playing Karthus.

Edit: Oh yeah, what are your igns on the PBE? Mine is ClawofBeta (I should've chose Corn).

Edit of the edit: Oops, I should've brought a champion bundle LOL.

So I'm adjusting well. Still kinda not doing so well on the micro action. I rarely ever get kills on people and tend to fail at farming and since I play versus bots to get better, they tend to swarm me every time I play (which I guess is a good thing if my teammates would, you know, actually kill stuff, since I tend to attract 3 of the 5 bots every time I try to push a tower myself).

Question being this: I like the character designs of the following 3 characters, but can only purchase one at the moment (i don''t play nearly enough to get that many points as of yet), but what character would be better for me to "main"- Twisted Fate, Warwick, or Nassus? I don't particularly care for the skills or anything, I just like how they look xD Seeing as I won't be purchasing all 3 of them any time soon, I figure, why not main 1 first and get really good at that one and then adjust to the other ones later as I can afford them Thanks for the help (in advance )!

So I know I've asked this before, but it went unanwsered. Could anyone list the pros and cons of arpen marks compared to ad marks?

If you want to jungle-Warwick.

If you want to solo top lane (I doubt anyone in your level solos top or jungles, though)-Nasus

You want to gank people in 5 seconds - Twisted Fate.

So basically for your summoner level

1) Twisted Fate
2) Warwick
3) Nasus

We answered it, you boob .

And arpen marks are generally the way to go, just to get the minions to 0 armor. Quints, on the other hand, you should carry ad quints since the minions are already at 0 armor.

Fear my J4 suckas.

Vastly varies on the champ.

What time/when do the Free to play champions change? I assumed it would be by Monday, but they haven't changed yet o_o

Eh. Usually Tuesday.

I suppose I can play Twisted Fate or Rammus, but I'll probably be playing Renekton on the PBE mua ha ha.

It's Irelia free week. OHBOY

Kassadin is a hard counter to all squishies . Except maybe Veigar. It's a peach versing him as Caitlyn, too.

Banshee's Veil severely reduces Kassadin's effectiveness of killing AD carries. I remember playing Tristana one time with mad deeps, and the Kassadin on the other team decided to surprise buttsex me. Instead of running, I just popped my steroid (before he could silence me obviously) and DPSed him down and laughed.

Generally carries scale harder than casters do, as auto-attacking has two multipliers (critical chance, attack speed) and one additive amount (attack damage), while casters have two additives (base ability damage, ability power) and one multiplier (cooldown reduction). Damage bases for casters are obviously far superior to carry damage base, and the same thing goes for additives to a much lesser degree. However, CDR makes for a craptastic multiplier for casters, while the double multipliers carries benefit from have a much higher cap. And in case you're wondering "why don't casters just spec AD?" Low base damages, no steroids makes for a very hard uphill battle.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything if you're dead xD

APen generally gets you more effective damage than AD does. It obviously doesn't work below 0 though.

AD allows for easier last-hitting, and champions that scale off of AD benefit from it as well.

And arpen marks are generally the way to go, just to get the minions to 0 armor. Quints, on the other hand, you should carry ad quints since the minions are already at 0 armor.

That's silly. Minions start with 0 armor, and it's not like you're going to get a ton of benefits out of theorycrafting around killing minions by optimizing your APen and AD.

This.

Okay I'm saving up for a 6300 but I can't decide between Graves, Miss Fortune and Kennen. Your thoughts?
I feel like Graves might be nerfed soon. Miss Fortune isn't too popular but I have a lot of fun playing her and I haven't played Kennen in months since the free week before his most recent free week but with his new buffs he seems to be pretty good now.
Anyway, can't decide. In terms of viability right now I would say Graves>Kennen>Miss Fortune. But viability isn't the only reason to buy someone...

Oops, maybe I was thinking about jungle minions.

Some news off the street:

Season 2 Inbound!

Preseason Week 6 free champs!

Dignitas finally showing their true colors.
They lost Bo3 against CDE (Team USA) for WCG last night and are now arguing with the admins on trying to do ANOTHER Bo3. Apparently following the rules / guidelines isn't in their resume.

Spectator on normal games sounds lame, it is very attractive but.
>be spectator for a friend
>turn off Fog of war
>skype

Maybe spectator mode will just be anonymous. Like, you enter a game as spectator and the teams can't communicate with you and can't see your name or anything. So that's all you do - be a spectator.

I'm pretty sure you enter specific games, but I just read there's a 3 minute delay or something so you can't do that.

Edit: Ew just noticed I've done 10 ranked games and my elo dropped a lot from s1, who wants to duo with me to win some games, out of 7 losses I'd say like 2 were ok, the other 5 all had leavers/trolls

Huh. Who knows then. Guess we'll see when it comes out publicly.

I'm still too scared to do ranked. The first few matches have such a huge impact on elo and I'm afraid I'll get trolls and leavers in my first 10 games like I did last season -_- Dropped me all the way down to low 900 and I only made it back up to like 1175.

Yeah I think I started at like 1240 because of the reset, and it dropped me to 1065 :| 3 won 7 lost dam leavers/trolls.
