I build him tanky. The longer you're alive the more frequently you can CC people, thus providing more utility to your team.

I'm pretty good with rocket grabs, but also never expect people to be stupid, lol. Also, I occasionally make bad calls and pull in a tank or initiator when we're not even in favorable position.

FYI guys, it's better to not pop your ult immediately in a teamfight unless you have to stop a channel, because you'll lose the procs from its passive lightning effect once you do.

 

[fkacyan]

RoA > Mana-giving tank items = Lol I ult you and silence and mana shield doesn't let me die.

 

[PhantomX]

Your HP is much more effective when you have MR and Armor to back it up, even if it's less HP.

I didn't say to build HP. RoA gives mana, HP, and AP, which is surv + damage, and then you build **** like Banshee, Frozen Heart that gives more mana and tank stats.

Or just go trolololol build and tear > AD or AP.

I'm having a lot of fun with Blitz too. I just really suck at rocket grabs. Funnily enough, there are a surprising number of ways to make up for that, and I'm still going 8-3-15 or whatever.

You know you'd think I'd be okay at calling jukes but half the time when I'm CONVINCED they will change direction they just run in a straight line and avoid it.

And Reverie is an amazing item on him; that active + Overdrive = ghost every minute, and Blitz can always use more CDR. I like it bunches :D

yep i get reverie>ionian boots>randamins omen>frozen heart banshees etc..

[Frolossus]

so whats considered the best way to build TF now?

 

[StealthyGunnar]

AD. AP sounds good but just doesnt get the job done.

I don't think you can pull off RoA on Blitz. He not a great farmer, so unless you start getting fed kills you're not gonna build it anytime quick. You're better off getting Catalyst and whatever resistance item you need like Glacial Shroud.


Say you get it by the 20 min mark, or the 25 min mark. You're now into midgame without any resistance at all. You would have less health if you went Catalyst to GS, but you'd also have more mana if you got those 2 items, more CDR, and some nice armor. You wouldn't do much better against spells at this point, but that would be easier to fix as well. Get a Negatron Cloak or go straight to BV, vs having to get every part if you went RoA while still not having any armor or CDR.


I think the only times you can really pull off RoA is with a solo lane caster that farms incredibly well. Even then, if you are ahead farm wise compared to most of the opposition, you might kick yourself for getting the slower RoA instead of getting something like Haunting Guise along with Sorc boots and stacking AP, hitting champs without any real MR for close to true damage.

One of the reason I like RoA is because Catalyst also builds into Banshee. If you manage to get a lot of early kills with grab combos you can make RoA, otherwise you can build it into a Banshee.

I ****ing hate this game....the people in solo queue are so varied in idiocy that i can't for the life of me seem to be able to carry feeders...I'm nowhere near good enough to queue with you all...there's no way to make this not suck....UGH

You have to be good to play with other people? o.O

 

[PhantomX]

As long are you are willing to listen quickly and learn, better players don't usually mind queuing up with worse players, particularly in normal games. Ranked is usually another story, haha.

 

[Zolga Owns]

I'm bad(well not that bad but still) and I play with them.

 

[jpak]

We lost Our ap carry had to leave

 

[SummonerAU]

@SHAYA- http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=521081

That's terrible :|

 

[M3D]

Vocal, we have a pretty laid back crew. We're not gonna stress out about queueing up with you in normal games. We do call each other out on mistakes, but that helps us get better. As long as you are mature enough to handle that kind of atmosphere, you're totally welcome to queue up with us. You just have to catch people and ask if we want to play.

@jpak, sorry dude. That is probably why 1-day tournaments don't work with games that take this much time to play. How does anyone with any kind of responsibilities sit around all day and all night playing over and over?

 

[Vyke]

@Jpak: Good job though, you've still progressed farther than anyone else in the thread. (Besides Dekar)

 

[Shaya]

Thanks Dan,

I uninstalled pando like 9000 years ago though

 

[rsr2]

Hey guys. I play this game quite often. I love it and hate it at the same time >_> Like the last 8 games I played, one person would leave on my team and then we would lose. Anyway my name on there is rsr2 and I use mostly Morgana and Ashe.

 

[fkacyan]

Evidently people don't play normals unless you play ARAM.

Whelp, maybe enough of you will play HoN that we can have a thread for that eventually.

A lot of people who played HoN switched over to LoL cause of money. I'd play HoN, but I'm not paying for **** lol

lmao

I'd play LoL but nobody's ever not doing customs.

 

[Dekar173]

I already made a hon thread, it immediately died

 

[PhantomX]

That's silly. We had so many people on the vent today that we had like 3 groups doing normal games. You must have just come online during the short stint where we were ARAMing. We have fun doing that so it's kind of a daily thing.

 

[jpak]

@Tom - We lost cause you didn't watch us =P Its kay we got a match Wednesday and if we win it we play CLG the week after
@Odin - Idk theres like 150+ teams for this tourney though so its quite a few

 

[StealthyGunnar]

it's funny when u have a premade team of 4 ppl and go into norms. first game my team and i played it was 4v5 cuz the only person not in our group was afk. somehow, we crushed the other team. they had no chance even tho we were down 1 player lol

 

[Limeee]

I just had the Best/Worst game ever. It was a 55 minute game, and we won. But while the screen was scrolling to their blowing nexus, i started a surrender vote. It said victory. Then scrolled to our nexus and said defeat.

Not even ****ing joking. LOL it was awesome

 

[Shaya]

and the end game victor was who?

 

[Teh Brettster]

I just don't get it. After Amumu's unnecessary buffs, how does a jungling Amumu go 1/15 and least assists on the team? It just doesn't add up.

Also, Lime... is your Vlad "ninja buff" because baddies won't get Warmog now because of the nerf on his passive?

 

[Limeee]

nope, because he ***** lanes against characters who start with dorans. i thought it was a big deal when the patch came out but everyones adjusted their builds

we lost >.>
look at my match history, same name as smashboards

 

[Virgilijus]

lmao

I'd play LoL but nobody's ever not doing customs.

That is because customs are incredibly fun. Having a 5v5 ARAM in house is a blast, especially when I lag.

 

[Evanms]

We played a game against hohums and destroyed him with fiddle **** brush. "no one wards that brush"

 

[PhantomX]

It's true. When Chad decided he was going to wait there I was like, this is genius, no one ever wards that bush. Mission successful, even though it took Zac forever to get to it.

My favorite was still the one behind their lizard.

 

[jpak]

getting to level 30 takes forever

 

[DanGR]

What bush was it?

 

[PhantomX]

We had pushed up to their second towers on all lanes, so he hid in the side lane bush that sits between both towers, lol.

I don't even know how long he waited there.

 

[S l o X]

getting to level 30 takes forever

seriously.
i wanted to make a smurf but it takes soooo long.

 

[Zolga Owns]

Anyone up for some arranged normals today?

 

[Virgilijus]

OK guys, I need to get some wins tonight.

Team Tryhard, ASSEMBLE!
