So yea, I'm convinced that Ryze is one of the best answers to climbing up ELO right now. He's a great damage soak, a great damage dealer, packs his own cc, and I just can't see any downsides to him right now aside from being less bursty than other casters, but he's still pretty bursty when he wants to be. He's definitely my favorite champ right now; Corki dishes out the dps, but Ryze has the whole package.

That's why I always play Ryze with Ghost and Flash.
Sure, relying on summoners is less than ideal but it does make up for what seems like his only weakness.

Ryze is a 1v1 super star, which is quite great in non-arranged play.

But IMO he doesn't do enough in team fights... he's kinda like vlad without uber broken ult. But unlike vlad he'll having heavy building of defences rather than just having a metric crapton of health.

no escape method.
Neither do most other tanks; he, like they, just takes time to focus down, which has been enough lately. Plus as Plum said take Flash/Ghost. I can't say that he'll always be good, but for the level I'm at right now he's been doing great.

I wish the AoE on his ult were larger, it would help his team fight presence so much :urg: Even still, I feel like he contributes quite a bit, especially with his snare up every couple seconds.

Really? The answer is simple: Elementz moved Xin Zhao to Tier 4 and thus Guardsman's main is no longer viable and his ELO changed itself to reflect this. Simple math ;)

I've played with bob a few times coz he's currently around my elo.

He doesn't have the best last hitting with the characters he uses, he relies on his amazing experience in knowing when/how/etc to initiate and what not to pull off great wins. But he uses characters which require snowballing over farming... and he seems to lose to characters such as Ashe or... Gangplank who just farm farm farm and set the pace of the game against him.

Even though he carries almost all of his games decently hard.
Nooooooo no no no noo noo nooooooo Elementz is always right, he is the answer to all things and all things must reflect his list. BAAHHHHH *munches grass*

Being entirely serious here of course :X

Is that cat girl Ezreal without the cat?
ryze is op btw
Nahhhhhh

:awesome:

Btw: SOMEONE TEACH ME THE WAYS OF NUNU. I'm trying to have a diversified roster of junglers for when I go back to ranked; I know he's really good and I don't want to screw up his role. Tips?

So hey. I'm never in games with you guys. Can that change? I usually don't have the guts to ask because I don't even know if I'm welcome.

I don't know why he plays midwick sometimes. He does it fine and I'm sure it's part of a team strategy but there is so much better:urg:.


@UTD Zac

My udyr games yesterday.

Leveld Tiger- 11/3/5
Leveled Phoenix- 1/5/3

AD Reds/Flat Armor Yellows/Armor Pen Quints/Attack Speed Blues

Wriggles/Mercs/Phage/Banshees or Sunfire or Randuins/ Finish Tri-Force

tips?suggestions? Could have just been the skill level of the teams or I failed with phoenix that game but ganks with Tiger wen't so well.

Also, I don't know if you have seen this ( probably ) but Bob does this route with Udyr occasionally where he does either mini golems --> red buff or red buff alone and b's and buys philosopher stone then goes to blue. know how do it?

Vocal (or anyone else that's played her much), how do you build karma? Been playing a lot of her but I'm not sure what to put on her yet.

^probably should wait until she gets buffed again. She's not too good. I would build her roa then aegis. Idk from there. Just get support items that give auras, soul shroud would work. Or if your going ap death cap then crystal scepter.

@vox dude whenever you want to play with us just ask lol. Everyone needs a fith.

Undefeated jungle nunu in ranked ftw!!!

I'd say I'm decent with Karma. Odin can contribute to this when he sees it.

Support:

Saph Crystal + 2 health pots
Catalyst if rushing RoA(have manaregen runes if doing this)/Tear
Boots should be CD or Swiftness (CD preferred)
Mejais if you think you'll survive and get lots of assists(which you should)
Aegis
Glacial Shroud/Frozen Heart
Soul Shroud
Optional Item
Optional Item

Ap Carry:

Saph + 2 Health pots
Catalyst/Tear
Tear/Catalyst
Morellos
Deathcap
Archangels
Defensive Item(s) depending on opposing team comp
--
Rylais/Hourglass
Hourglass/Rylais


Hey everyone, post the character that you like to play the most. I'm bored and feel like doing a small design project.
