Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

That is very silly. It's almost like predicting the future with a schedule.

Well I have to admit that not every change is there (patch preview = there's still more to come). Though for the changes that I've been following on PBE for some time, I wasn't at all surprised when thoset changes got announced.

Gawd Karthus is such an annoying douche >_> Being Anivia, I had to watch him constantly after level 6 while not getting poked by Qs. Both janglers were Nautilus, and they did the same build, which resulted in the same blue buff donations at the same time. I had blue, Karthus had blue. Three times this happened. We couldn't really get close to each other, and we couldn't really leave the lane, because either of us could farm the lane in 5 seconds or less.

But then Karthus screwed up. I AM AN ANGRY BIRD!! WALL MY ASS AND MISS, ANIVIA KILLS YOU!! Congratulations, you are now behind forever! WHAT!? YOU'RE GANKING!? ANGRY BIRD KILLS YOU!! LEAVE MY ASHE ALONE!!

[COLOR="#cc8899"]Yet another game where 1 person carried the entire enemy team. Their Akali came just shy of 50 kills - we finally started shutting her down at 49. She left the bottom lane in the first few minutes of laning phase and proceeded to gank. Repeatedly. Killing the top and middle lanes repeatedly quickly got her to around 10/1 status, and she was nearing 20 kills by the time we started getting into real team fights. We dominated most of the team fights, especially when she wasn't around (the rest of her team all had about half as many kills as deaths), and her reliance on spell vamp to survive made her pretty vulnerable to some well timed Incinerates. We got a pretty good rhythm down of "Kill Akali, push and destroy a tower + inhib" towards the very end, but eventually we got overconfident - we saw her pushing the bottom lane, so we decided to take the chance and go for the win. We were just about to kill the 2nd Nexus tower when the defeat screen came up - she had managed to finish off our nexus in the meantime (we had most of our towers destroyed by this point as well).

Akali ended up roughly 49/11 or some such.

At least I had the satisfaction of having the least deaths by far (5, as opposed to 10+ for everyone else). Still pretty frustrating to have a situation like that come up.

@ Kajiti - MY LoL moment of the week came as Blitzcrank when our 5 man push got all the way to their Nexus and got it down to a sliver of health. The enemy team was able to finally stop us before we could quite break it. When I finally revived, my team was split pushing the top and bottom, 2 in each. I quite literally ran straight up the middle, ignoring their Akali (who appeared out of the fog of war on my way up and subsequently started chasing/attacking me) and making a beeline straight for the Nexus. Akali was still on me, and was soon joined by another champion (I forget who). It'd healed up to about 1/3 by this time, and I proceeded to lay into it while spamming my E and W (as well as a quick ult once to kill a minion wave/silence the 2 champions hitting me). I was about 5 or 10% health with my shield having already come up by the time I got the last hit I needed in (thanks to Blitzcrank's E resetting his autoattack timer, I was able to do so just barely fast enough to finish the job).[/COLOR]

Having a lot of fun with MF... WHY ARE YOU 6.3K D:

So once I was Ryze in mid against a Malzadar.

Being Malzadar, he pushes mid like mad. He then leaves the lane a couple of times to gank, and I call even call mia most of the time.

Team dies complains how I never follow Malzadar.

Should I be following him?

I don't think so. Wouldn't the opposing team generally have the jungler with the mid to gank the sides? They should also be warding their part of the river to see it coming at least. or at least fall back to escape range. Staying when MIA is called seems kinda stupid IMO. I suppose you could ward the brush on either side of the river to tell them the general direction of where the mid is going o_O

I suppose towards late game when you are all practically roaming most of the time, you could go follow him, but that could end up being a trap lots of the time.

Malzahar*. And personally I'd say no. Malzahar pushes his lane so you lose out on CS. The best thing you can do against a Malzahar that pushes like that is be really aggressive and push back. If you follow Malzahar you're losing out on all that CS. Malzahar would out-CS you so hard.

Alright I thought so, it's just that my team kept on blaming me for their deaths. We won anyways but I think I did get reported.

I think Reginald's guide on how to play Malzahar does a better job of showing you how to play against Malzahar than it does how to play Malzahar.

Just went legendary with PAX Sivir with no deaths. Absolutely wrecked Caitlyn and Taric's shyt with trollshield, even though they kept on escaping with <100 HP. Awww yeaaaaahh!

Thnx for the heals and stuffs Yoshi =)

That was fun. God you're amazing with that shield. There were only like ~5 skills I saw you NOT block with that shield. 8/0/12 Sivir too good.

.

MF seems to be getting popular now. Why is she a good AD carry compared to the others?

I blame Chaox...

MF's dps has always been one of the highest because of her steroid. Her lane harass is pretty good and she can outright crush some lane matchups played properly.

Her ult becomes useless late-game though. A fed MF mid game though will kill an entire team with her R alone though.

Probably best left for premade play.

So, what's the best thing to spend IP on?
I would think champions but a bunch of the champions in there are already available for me, so I don't really know.
Runes?
I'm guessing Skins are useless.
Everything's a bit confusing.

Buying runes is a good idea, but you shouldn't buy any tier 1 or 2 runes, so save IP for til level 20 for some tier 3 runes, some people start at level 15. It also doesn't hurt to have at least one champ you're good that, so play a few champs to get their feel and buy them if you can. Skins are indeed useless, and they just change how the champ looks like.

tl;dr buy a few champs then save for tier 3 runes

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you shouldn't buy Tristana or Alistar, as you can get them free through Facebook or Youtube, respectively. So enough a few permanent freebies.
