Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[-Vocal-]

I have over 7000 IP saved up. Which champ should I get? Options include:

Malzahar
Swain
Nocturne
Rumble
Trundle

Right now I'm leaning towards Nocturne or Swain, but I really just want opinions. Give me your thoughts!

Also: http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=8926159#post8926159 If anyone feels like doing some efficiency calculations on Hexdrinker I would love you for it

 

[CR4SH]

Rumble, he's a beast.

 

[Plum]

I'll definitely have to get some AP cow games in.

 

[Dastrn]

arcnatural, i'll duo with you if you play alistar every game.

i think i might be picking ali up this week or next.

also vocal, you can't go wrong with any of those 5. just don't expect noct to be as faceroll-easy-mode as everyone tells you. his nerfs have hurt worse than most people think.

 

[jpak]

thats a really nice bra youre wearing

LOL veigar

DFG is the first thing I build on this guy. It's insane.

Speaking of Veigar, I feel like he's really underused and he brings so much to the team. If he's given mid, all he has to do is Q-farm the whole time and he's almost impossible to out harass by level 6-7. And his ganks pretty much guarantee a kill. I'm not seeing why ppl don't use him.

his issue is to make him the most effective you stack a TON of AP, however that makes him simply countered by MR, so he much balance extreme amounts of AP and SP in order to not become useless.

also people undervalue his stun in team fights.

can't tell if srs
veigar has absolutely zero laning presence at all until he gets his ult, during which time the stronger laners just zone him out of exp range

 

[fkacyan]

Veigar is an excellent counter to AP carries like Kass, etc who stack AP hardcore, but if they rely on other damage sources you aint doin ****.

 

[Deleted member]

wtf

excellent counter to kass?

da ****

holy ****

what the ****

hes an excellent counter if he gets caught yeah..

gets ***** in lane really really bad (by kass)

gets ***** in teamfights by kass

kass silences and poops on him generally when hes busy doing something else

only chance is if kass gets caught like a noob

if u are paranoid u can get quicksilver and remove stun summoner flash out as fast as you can

doesn't seem like a good pick vs kass at all

We can talk the intricacies of teamfights all day. If veigar is concerned about silences he can make a QSS. The difference is that veigar will instantly kill somebody stacking AP, wheras Kass wont instantly kill veigar.

I wouldn't pick veig for kass, though, it was more of a general example, douche.

lol its not censored

 

[-Vocal-]

Man I love when I get to play Amumu in ranked. Prom King dries his tears reeeaaal quick ^_^

In other news, although I've played less in the past couple days due to life, my elo is steadily rising. 1178 atm, hoping to break 1200 before the week is out

 

[jpak]

just cause you dont do well with veigar or have seen anyone do well does not mean hes bad.
play nyjacky and your opinon of trist and veigar will change =D

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

edit: no point in wasting time discussing why veigar is bad

karthus would have been a better example of a char veigar is good versus

 

[jpak]

most ranged champs beat kass in lane including kass~~

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Mind is officially blown. I thought the voice actor of Ezreal was Justin Cook, but recent changes in the wiki say that it was Kyle Hebert. So I email Kyle and he responded super quick and told me that he did voice him as well as Jarvan.

 

[-Vocal-]

I've reached 1190! Only one victory from breaking back above the start line :D (Now I'm hoping I don't lose and get demoralized lol)

In other news, I just realized I have a 100% win rate with Cho. (Only played two games with him, but that's still a nice feeling ^_^)

 

[Virgilijus]

most ranged champs beat kass in lane including kass~~

Are you claiming both 'p' and '~p'!?!?!

Your logic is inconsistent!

I place a vote of No Confidence in jpak.

 

[jpak]

kass~~ is veigar in canada

 

[-Vocal-]

This may sound crazy, but I think playing so much ARAM improved my team fight positioning which then led to me being a better player in actual games.

doesn't sound crazy at all

And then you realized that playing so much ARAM had so many other drawbacks.

 

[Dekar173]

Didn't know Veigar ***** Kass, my every feeling and intuition ever would tell me otherwise, that being kass' role and all (anti-carry/mageslayer)

 

[PhantomX]

Kass v. Veigar really comes down to who lands stun/silence first. They both blow each other up.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

mfw people don't realize that veigar's stun is conditional upon contact with a surface and kass has a low cd blink

and kass's silence and damage are guaranteed

veigar sucks

Lee Sin is voiced by David Wenham.

 

[jpak]

alright alright veigar is bad because kass can beat every carry based on what kass is "labelled," and cause he has the ability to force escapes out of kass

 

[-Vocal-]

doesn't sound crazy at all

sweet, i'm not insane

I disagree It's fun for what it is, and I can appreciate the low-stress environment. I remember I used to hate it, but that's probably because I was over-stressing things at the time.

 

[Vyke]

I dislike ARAM because it's a coin toss between having fun or not, even if you're looking to just have fun.

 

[DallasPhat]

Yo simple solution, just don't play ARAM if you dislike it.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

I prefer ADAM

alldraft allmid

makes it less stupid so i don't have to play ****ing garen

 

[ArcNatural]

Duo with me babe.

arcnatural, i'll duo with you if you play alistar every game.

I'll let you guys know. Thanks!

Edit:

I should point out I mainly jungle/tank/support again. I know Zolga plays solid carries but I would really like to pair with a carry or maybe AD bot EU style.

The champs I play decently (for me) are in no particular order:

Comfortable with in Ranked:
Trundle (j), Amumu (j), WW (j), Cho'gath (j), Shen (j), Ashe, Corki, Taric, Janna, Alistar, Kennen

(j) = Can jungle with

Can play but not comfortable yet:
Olaf (currently learning, jungle), Anivia, Shaco, Ezreal, Udyr (j)

If you have any questions you can ask, I may be on around 8-9 tonight but have plans earlier currently.

I've learned to roll with the punches most of the time. (Though I do dodge occasionally - shhhhhhhhhhh)

 

[safehaven]

how does kass **** veigar lol

i mean kass low cd blink but that means that veigar first of all has to not hit kass with an edge of his circle and if he misses, then he still has amazing control over kass positioning

and this is all assuming they are 1v1... veigar can catch an entire team , while kass can.. die trying to kill veigar. i dont get where a 2(or 3) second silence is going to make kass able to suddenly **** the world.

also i love veigar. i think the reason hes not as viable is cause you cant really carry with such a single target and relatively long cd champion. idk though, maybe its cause kassadin is uch a ****** HARD COUNTER lol..

Wait you don't jungle your ashe? gtfo

 

[Tom]

i simply dont enjoy veigar as much as i thought i would

and i know virg doesnt enjoy my veigar LOL

i didnt mean to imply that he was a bad character

i was simply saying i never run DFG on anyone (and dont play veigar at all)

anyways im really bad at the alistar combo that no one else seems to have problems with

so i will just stick with galio and amumu

although im sorry and i apologize for my ****TY galio game last night lul... sorry... i usually like either a solo or to hold bot 1v2 and have a roamer

 

[Zolga Owns]

I know Zolga plays solid carries

before anyone says anything, this is at my ELO in Solo queue
(Or If I use Akali)

HOLY ****. Jungle Akali, everything I ever wanted. <3333333333

 

[Virgilijus]

and i know virg doesnt enjoy my veigar LOL

I can vouche for this.

 

[safehaven]

i just played with caseynelsons smurf

and yes he is that bad

he does "the right thing" expecting the team to follow,

even when they are nowhere near him

tehn he see that's the case and does it anyway

and gets ***** then blames the team for being "bad"

sigh

 

[PhantomX]

Who is caseynelson and should we care? o_O
