I hate teams that don't surrender even when it's clearly over...2 inhibitors down, they're up 15 kills, we haven't even demolished their second row of towers...WHY WON'T PEOPLE SURRENDER. The game isn't even fun at that point. If you play, it sucks. If you leave, it sucks. There's no fun anywhere - do people just forget that you're supposed to play games to have fun???

depends on how late into the game it is. if it's past 50 minutes, a single ace by your team can mean a push and win. but if it's at the 30 minute mark or something, yeah i'd just surrender lol.
^ What he said. One big mistake by the opponents or strong play by you depending on how late game it is can give you the win you need. One minute is more than enough time to push up mid if you have 4+ people. Plus if they revive at that point odds are there will be at least 8-10 seconds between each one coming up, and if they try to fight you they will die again and you keep pushing.

Well I do know that late-game comebacks are possible, but you're right in that I was talking more about the 25-30 minute mark. Even if we get an ace they aren't going to be dead long enough for us to fight our way through 2 towers and an inhibitor

you should be able to take a tower or 2 and baron no problem then

I never use Snowball items unless I'm trolling/the other team is incredibly bad.
Vyke

Snowball items are back and forth. They're a gamble, for sure. Sometimes it turns the game around, though, if you can build up those stacks and survive.
Frolossus
Smash Lord
or you can be me and average 16 stacks a game
Why not? They're incredibly efficient; At 6 stacks you've gotten stats for your gold, and anything more is more of the stat than you can buy otherwise.

As good as I am at keeping myself alive (usually) I don't like the idea that if I die I lose exp/gold from missed farm/kills AND have reduced AP/AD/Health.
dorans ring is a bad idea unless u plan on never getting hit in lane.
i go mana crystal> cata > boots > tear > roa >archangels > situational
boots depend on the team also.

i never really get mejai's because i'm the kind of person who will die in order to secure two kills/dragon/baron/whatever's more important.
also i have a feeling that urgot is gonna become FOTM very soon (if he isn't already...)

I must suck at ARAM because I don't think I've ever won a single one
In other news, what's a good pubstomp champion? Someone I can just dominate my normals with? I do alright, but I seem to just fluctuate around the same win/loss instead of moving up

Well, starting Last Whisper/Doran's Blade and jumping into a group of 4 people repeatedly, 2 of which are packing hard anti-carry CC might have something to do with that.

it's not bad. kass has no way to escape really before lvl 6. plus the extra health, mana regain, and ap is good

I started jumping in because I wasn't having any fun any other way >.> It wasn't even just that game...it's just every game is a contest of who has the strongest long range harass and who can push harder (in rare cases it also includes who can heal more). If your team isn't better at either of those, it's just seems like a long ride down to the bottom. I just don't think aram appeals to my sense of fun.
Well first things first, why the **** are you Rammus when that is clearly not a bow wielding character?

Got Irelia. She seems fun, but I'm having trouble gauging my strength atm. Only played one game, so I suppose it will come with time
edit: FFFFFFFFFFFF HOTSHOTGG JUST MADE A THREAD CALLING IRELIA FOTM AND GIVING INSTRUCTIONS FFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I swear every time I pick up a new character that isn't just for lulz they become FotM. Exceptions are Lux and Udyr

Magic Pen reds, Armor Yellow, MR Blue, Armor or Health Quints
Path is Blue, Wolves, Wraiths, Red, Golems.
That's what I use, at least.
Oh man. Still can't believe we won that game after I fed harder than pretty much ever.
They got Donged.

For Jungle Rammus you can finish kind of low if you dont do it right. As soon as u take agro from wolves/red/wraits power ball. This lets you get hits in while they are disabled. Its just a bit of micro but it usually saves you a health pot if you do it right. Skill order is W-Q-E/W. Take a second rank in W if you dont think you will be able to gank.
I agree with Virg:
Magic pen reds
Flat Armor yellows <---Must (makes safer and faster because of passive)
Flat mr Blues
hp/armor quints.

Wrong. Dont listen to him. Stack Philo stones and you win by default.

How would you build AD Ezreal? The only build I know atm is:
long sword -> hp pot > brut > boots > sheen > berserkers > triforce/ghostblade > BV
I feel like this is a very ???? build but I can't really find anything better.
I'm also running Apen reds, mp/5 yellows, flat mr blues and health quints.
I guess it's experience, but I struggle understanding how to be a force with Ezreal in lane or in team fights. I just usually lose outright in most mid lane fights unless I feel the person I'm laning against is pretty bad.
Yesterday I laned against Vlad and ugh, All he did was push the lane constantly and stay in all of his minions and even at low levels I felt I couldn't punish him for it. Now that I think about it though, it could be simply because after he hit me once I got scared and forgot how long his low level cooldowns are.

Dorans are bad for the most part
Switch to attack speed marks since creeps don't have MR so no need for magic pen. The rest of the runes are good. Start at golem and go the regular path except you can go to double golems after wraiths or do red depending on whether you see a gank
Sheen/Triforce early on isn't good. Start with either magic mantel or cloth and pots so you can survive against vlad early on. You have to beat vlad early on or else its over. You can beat him with ezreal, the range of his Q isn't that big, hit vlad at maxrange with your Q. I stopped playing ezreal because there are too many carries that are better than him. You want to just poke in a fight never fully commit and when they come on you just E away.
I hope they change Ashe's ult its just too good of an initiation and she is probably the best carry now. They should take away the splash damage/slow.
Oh and I told you Irelia was OP about a month ago shoulda bought it then Vanz
It's okay there's still alistar amumu blitz cho leblanc malzahar renekton urgot. Some of them aren't OP but are really good and underplayed.

I've always thought of her as the best carry. MF in her heyday was strongest, and Sivir is the strongest pusher, and Corki has some good harass and a good kit overall, but Ashe just has that unending utilityDorans are bad for the most part

You're joking right?
Mpen / arpen as stats can push enemies into negative armor / mr and give you bonus damage.
Not saying your rune choice is wrong, but creeps used to have negative mr which was what allowed udyr to kill them with phoenix so quickly.
