urgot is an odd pick tho since the tsm's carries are mostly long range and for cait you can net out of his ult, nid can jump out, and gp can w out :(

I'm posting for the first time in awhile for 2 reasons:

1. Windamere is a really good solo top but he's a horrible jungle. Just putting that out there.

2. I just hit the front page of Reddit and you guys are the only people I know that use Reddit :3

Probably sleeping or in school.. but always in GA
@kassadin vs orianna in teh clg vs fnatic game:

kassadin only lost so hard cause orianna got blue buff before him. lee sin jungle should have been able to give kass an early blue buff (and that had to be the plan) but lee sin wasted too much time top and got behind because he was trying to gank chogath early.

hotshot knew it though somehow, so lee sin wasted all his time, got behind, and left kassadin to get *****.

kassadin shouldnt lose that hard. and he still came back and start bursting really really hard.

and the postion switch on urgot ult isnt as important as the 40% slow or w/e. u ult enemy carry, they will flash back to where they were, but be permaslowed

I take back what I said about Jax.

After watching the IEM tournament, it became clear to me that Jax is NOT overpowered. He did not carry every game he was in when he wasn't banned.

Melee dps are rarely, if ever, OP in team coordinated games.

The only notable exception as of late was Irelia and Jarvan, but even then Jarvan wasn't "sooooo" strong.
This is because an opposing team will go "oh **** they have a jax, I best go a character I know does well again him" - even if its being relegated to just passive farming.

like, even when Shaco was "no.1" in prearranged games between CLG and stuff he wasn't even banned. Teams with shaco on them lost, a lot. Then you realise how much of this game is balanced around solo queue *****ing. Which I guess is okay, but then you have cases where Corki/Ashe are the no.1 ranged carry(ies) by leagues and leagues for half a year+ and you're like "biased Riot staff, amirite?"

I guess its nice to see now that Riot's "plans" on nerfs are actually nerfing something they don't like while giving buffs in other areas. If Riot's stance on balancing was always like this, we wouldn't have been so ****ed over by balance patches (poor ez and shaco) over and over.

jax is one of those champs in the same vein as Yi, Kat, tryn. where they are only ever a serious concern if your team is uncoordinated or unsure how to play with them and they got a head start in money.

This just in I'm horrible at jungling.


I definitely don't really have a good idea of what to do when a lane is straight out losing as a jungler. Usually I just try to make sure the other two lanes do better instead. In terms of the whole I need to stand around and create a presence, with all the warding they seemed to have (or just in games in general) I always thought staying in one place for too long was always a bad idea.

I'm always down for critique, next time try not to be such a salty ***** about it. Your the first smasher I have ever played with that just gave up and sat at the turret. The fact that I was the only target of your rant didn't help either.

I played a hilarious game with 4 of my friends last night.

I was solo mid against Veigar for pretty much the whole match.

My friends are really really good so I had to do almost nothing except farm and fend off the odd gank attempt.

I managed to maintain lane dominance till Lv16 without using B once.

By the time I finally decided to go back I had roughly 5700 gold.

Our team was Ashe and Soraka top, me mid and then Gangplank and Amumu bot.

In fairness they were pretty awful, Veigar should have Brands number, especially when I have no items mid game xD

brand destroys veigar, at least early game. veigar literally has to farm his way up to reach end-game dominance, and doesn't have nearly as much range as brand, save for his stun. you don't have the mana to continue harassing brand, and you're just wasting it instead of farming your AP.

as an avid veigar player, i can honestly say brand is probably one of my least favorite solo matchups. i can handle that ****** at level 7 or 8, but until that point i'm a sitting duck. veig's main early combo is stun>comet>blast, and if you don't have enough damage to burst him down early (which you won't because you're veigar), he'll just burst you back and win because he does way more raw damage early

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
try continually shooting your opponent in the mouth with your Q as Veigar. most veigar players seem to forget that Q can target champions during laning, but whenever I watch a good Veigar (Locicero) play him, he's you know, actually shooting people with his stuff so that he doesn't just get bossed off the lane.
