Because we're running 114+ flat mana runes on Yorick, and need the additional <50 or so to make his laning bearable.

Idk.

 

[DanGR]

holy **** i take back what i said about this man.


He seems REALLY REALLY good. Like... you'll see.

I ran mpen boots, spirit visage as the core and maxed r>e>w>q. You heal so much you win lanes easy. Start with w/e you want.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

Shaco has crazy late game damage. Like... no joke. I'm pretty sure no other character in the game scales as hard as him in terms of damage. BUT, he's still a weak and mostly unviable character.

most shaco's ive seen r like ppl who play cass or jax. a good shaco, cass, or jax, will **** EVERYONE. igood shacos makes ME want to play shaco. when i do try, i suck and we lose. haha

 

[Zolga Owns]

It's the underused character syndrome. They appear to be amazing because they are exceptionally skilled with the character not because the character itself is "good". Fro does this with Katarina. Zac with LeeSin. Shaya with Shaco. Me with Karma.
Also, jpak isn't necessarily trolling when he says stuff like "Swf knowledge too strong". You'd have to ask him about his view on the game to understand his sarcasm and humor. It's been enlightening.

 

[jpak]

why do u always pop in and say stuff like this

i learn lots of new things when i read swf!

I'd rather be a **** than be wrong

Shoutouts to Jpak on the weekends

jpak, you're the numba wun troll

The best! Btw message me in game if you have questions about IvyLoL, pretty well run tourney, placed 5th though

his lifesteal was so good it pissed me off even pre-buff. as long as he has the mana for one famine ghoul, he can go from "killable" to "safe" in no time

perfect counter to blitz. after about 5 mins in lane with me after i got 1 kill by pulling him into tower, i couldnt pull him again. every singe time id throw out a grab that would hti him, hed throw a minion in front of him. safe.

well LoL IS a team game so it all depends on team set-up. And, keep in mind, underrated characters can still be very very good but rated low because there are BETTER versions of them.

i.e. Karma is considered bottom tier because every other support in the game is superior to her . . . but she's still solid and still very useful to have on the team (as any support really should be). It's just people think she's terrible because people say she's terrible when, really, she's just not as strong as some other options.

 

[Midnite]

Karma is pretty underrated. Basically, while other support chars (i.e. Soraka) support better than her, she can do stupid damage, especially when compared to other supports (i.e. Soraka again). I personally prefer building her as an AP nuke, but that's just coming from me, who's a total noob. :/

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Hey guys, for Tree, what is priority? q or w?

I know R > E > ? > ?

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Karma is actually ridiculously strong, and I think she'll get her time in the limelight soon enough. Currently I think she's better than Janna, but her biggest downside is the lack of a disruptive ulti.

No one listens to me...maybe they'll listen to Panda.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

I thought everyone KNEW karma was strong . . . she just isn't AS good as other supports.

She's 10x better in lane than Janna . . . but dat ult. I mean that's what really makes janna useful.

The problem is, I mean, no one is going to waste their bans on nothing but support, so you're going to get to choose SOMEBODY and Karma's pretty much bottom of the barrel . . . even if the barrel is full of good things.

She's fun, though, <3 that passive. It interacts so well with GA. Since that means that she can get low to get full use out of it but still be somewhat safe . . . and then a deathcap too . . . I mean she nukes really well (though, I mean, if you want a nuker with SOME support to her, there are characters like Orianna who do it better)... she just does not have the utility of other support characters . . . though the fact that she's "different" may mean that if the meta shifts the right way, she could start looking pretty good.

tier list


S teir- yi

 

[Teh Brettster]

S tier- Yi?

Makes me want to play ARAM.

 

[safehaven]

orianna too strong when played with right team

and when played with bravery and soul, so unbeatable
orianna is going to be my lee sin (zac) and my shaco (shaya)

going to get creative and do new stuff with her

also yorick is really strong. and mana mastery blows. why was this ever discussed. also 20 mana isnt a enough for one spell

 

[-Vocal-]

I would like info but I doubt I'll be getting a chance to play. There are only 5 people currently registered for UPenn, and while 2 are above 1400 rating, one of the others is either unranked or plays for funsies and the other is level 24. The first guy could work out, but there's probably SOOOO MUCH we'd have to teach the second, and it'd probably take a while before he's up to a competitive level.

Trundle is very underrated. People always say he's average but I personally think he's one of the strongest Tanky DPS out there right now (especially due to his Pillar), and his ganks are devastating.

Too late, I've already made Orianna my new Gragas >:D

Wait, if I already have Gragas then what does that make Orianna... Oh I guess she's my new pirate now that pirate is OP.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

Hey guys, for Tree, what is priority? q or w?

I know R > E > ? > ?

definitely W. the root is too much to pass up. and Q is only really useful after immediately using w anyways.

 

[PhantomX]

Sadly short of Blitzcrank all the champs I've liked to play have come into the limelight.

Well, except for Trundle. He only surfaced for a little while.

 

[Espy Rose]

That's what you get for playing good characters.

 

[PhantomX]

The characters aren't popular when I've started playing them (at least this is the case for Cho)... but then due to nerfs/bans they become popular because they are good.

I just pick by playstyle and design and if I like how they feel, not based on how good they are.

 

[Espy Rose]

So you pick by good playstyle and design.
That's all on you.

 

[PhantomX]

Good playstyle for me. I like tanks that are disruptive. Apparently those are always handy/needed.

 

[Espy Rose]

You like good characters. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[ruin`]

PS......Good characters

 

[DMG]

definitely W. the root is too much to pass up. and Q is only really useful after immediately using w anyways.

Depends on what lane you are in. Duo lane, maxing Root is probably best. If you're soloing, I see a lot of people max Q.

 

[_Dice]

He seems REALLY REALLY good. Like... you'll see.

I ran mpen boots, spirit visage as the core and maxed r>e>w>q. You heal so much you win lanes easy. Start with w/e you want.

You have to view your benefit of SV with the benefits of AD. with yorick
for instance SV increases your healing by 15%


so you go from 50% of the E to 56% of the E
and from 35% of your AD to 39% of your AD.

you have to justify that 6% and 4% to be more than for instance the 80+ AD from an AD item.

so thats 40 healing with the 80 AD. so 6% of your up front damage has to be >40 in order for SV to be worth it over an AD item as well as the 4% of your AD being more than 28.

which works out to you having around 670 AD.

thats kind of why i've dropped Spirit Visage as an item, when i can get a faster Manamune for much higher healing as well as mana and damage.

^^

EDIT: and also if you go faster AD, you can max W over E and still keep pretty equivilent healing in lane while increasing damage greatly as well as getting a kill if the player overextends for even a little bit with the extra slow. and it makes him much much stronger when ganked since he can eliminate one of the champs from the fight for a little bit.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

ive never maxed q ever before e or w. makokai ***** my elo

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Its hilarious, I win constantly then as soon as I break 1600 I have losing streaks caused by intentional feeders, leavers, and discons. This has happened 3 times already since I've unquit the game.

I'm starting to remember why this game is the biggest waste of my time ever.

 

[PhantomX]

There are a handful of us near the 1600 range if you want to duo-queue and improve your chances.

 

[Plum]

Panda, how do you build Gragas?

you should play more premades with us then

 

[john!]

man i've had a terrible day today. this is why i play tennis. 1v1, not this team based bull****.

 

[Zolga Owns]

I was feeling like that, then I played Vlad in ranked. 22/2/13. Awwww yeahhhh

 

[john!]

telling me how you pubstomped with the one champion that i refuse to purchase out of principle isn't making me feel any better

 

[Abel1994]

Yay they giving me a refound!!!!

I LOVE RIOT!!!

Take back 3 champs i hate the most :DDDD
giving em
Mord (tired of his ***)
Urgot (bough thim last night and cried how bad he is)
Morgana (nuff said)

 

[SamuraiPanda]

I never solo queue, always duo queue. Sorry guys. Oh and my latest losing streak was kicked off by the smurf account of the "best Brand in EU" (confirmed by my duo partner) who lost, as Brand, to an Annie in mid. Then he proceeded to run forward into their towers constantly because he was angry that the Singed on our team decided to go side lane.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Panda, how do you build Gragas?

I dunno, just a ton of AP. Pen boots, 2-3 doran's rings depending on my mood, rush deathcap then usually voidstaff. After that its just whatever I feel like doing. The only things set in stone for me are pen boots and deathcap (with void eventually). I just build for the games I'm in since Riot apparently hates creativity with builds.

Which reminds me, if you ever get stacked with an AP champ, the best way to completely lose your lead and run your advantage into the ground is to not rush a void straight after deathcap. I've come back in SO many games against an uber stacked AP champ just because they decide to grab ZH or Rylais or something instead of void, so their damage output went to absolute crap. Its mildly amusing how dumb some people are.

urgot isn't bad, wat?
