So I've been watching these IEM games. I watched some TSM a few months ago and it seems like they still suck. Seeing the camera switch to a view of the players, the TSM guys look so angry and anxious. Talk about not being calm and in control. And talk about not being able to pick properly. CLG picks vlad ffs in their last game.

I've won lane vs mordes but at the same time i lost to some morde that was rly smart with annie recently so i take this with a grain o salt.
You need characters that either have great sustain in lane (life steal, spell vamp) or characters that can poke his sheild but get out o his e range at the same time,
IE
brand / (I've done it with ez/cait multiple times but all the mordes were pretty trash at the same time) / Annie / Cassopiea / Yorick (my pick vs morde) / swain / lanewick / laneudyr etc
ranged carries like ezreal/corki just need to be able to have a strong mana source (i.e. manamune) to be able to handle morde in solos.
However it really does require things to go smoothly for you first few levels... as in you're farming well up until level 5. Pretty much "beating" morde is either he's bad / you have strong gankers or "handling" morde which just requires you to be able to stop the lane from being ontop of your tower 100% of the time with morde at full health without really being in a bad position (kills the entire wave, sits back, it returns to middle point).

Isn't the password usually just dots? I have to wait almost an hour and twenty minutes, and with my internet randomly disconnecting me (Session closing when already logged in when it feels like it) i'll just wait until the queue for signing in doesn't take so long.
Also, looked at the draft mode tierlist.
Hard to place on a team - Twitch
While i'm upset, it does make me notice he's less likely to get banned as much as Ashe Annie or Kogmaw. And if he does get banned, Fiddlesticks or singed (Even though I still need to buy 10 more champions to even consider playing ranked)

Twitch is fun if you try Tiamats. Ult applies on hit, and each time it passes through someone it procs on hit, so you get the splash damage again and again for each person you hit. If you crit the first person as well, jesus.

yeah if only you could get everybody to line up in tiamat range of each other

((600+380+150)x2.6)x2.0 in aoe.

galio :D
i remember when a galio/twitch team would **** everything...
apparently galio is actually good now because they keep buffing him and nerfing other tanks...
the thing about the tier list is that it only applies to top pros. anywhere below 1600 elo or so, you can do great with ALMOST* any hero if you've mastered them. the tier list changes so often and for such dumb reasons that it's not really a great indicator of which heroes you should use at a normal level of play. just find your personal favorite and you will do fine
* i say "almost" because i believe there are currently a few heroes which are genuinely terrible and are extremely hard to do well with if you're facing a decent team. twitch (imo) has been one of those heroes since his series of harsh nerfs a few months ago, after which i stopped playing twitch completely. riot realizes that stealth is a big design flaw in their game and they nerfed twitch and eve to bottom-tier status so they aren't a problem while the stealth remake is being worked on.

Start with the targetted spell. Harass with it and autoattacks early on. If you get a read on where she's running while she's burning*, then use your pillar- don't use it just to harass with on it's own. It's way more efficient in combination with E so you get that 25% extra damage.
If she's saving her stun, just push the wave with W->E so she's forced to use her spells to clear the wave. Then you can go back to harassing her.
It's a pretty **** matchup for Brand, tbh, if you do it correctly.
*- People expect the pillar after the E, so you can usually autoattack a couple times before using your pillar while they try to move around to dodge the pillar that's likely coming soon after.

Are there any characters that do well with all four gold/5 items? I think Poppy might do well with them since she seems kinda poor for a long time anyway. idk

Well I guess Poppy could work if you're just farming the entire game with 4 Gp5 items and then selling everything and buying a full build.
When I play soraka I get 3 Gp5 items and spam wards...it seems to work.

UTDZac, DanGR, etc. Really sorry for last night. I know it was all Riot being dumb but I really wanted to play with you guys. Definitely looking to improve my jungle skills and can think of nothing better than Zac and co. yelling at me. Please invite me in future :3.
I've been trying to make more of an effort to counterjungle a bit when I don't think I have any ganking potential. One thing I noticed that happens is when you do that it typically makes the other jungler try to counter jungle you (at my elo at least). It makes for really easy kills when your team is aware of it and catches them overextending (yay wards).
I also definitely think lately that my typical group of players I play with our normal elo has risen decently. There have been a lot of games this week where the other teams weren't slouches and we played really well and I'm happy with that. This past week and weekend I've been on a tryhard streak in terms of seeing if I can consistently dominate or be a definite factor that the other team has to account for in games.
In terms of getting experience and having fun I would like to join a team interested in competing in Go4LoL or online tourneys. Need to start somewhere if you want to improve yeah?
In terms of what I play, I mainly play junglers or support. But am comfortable with specific champs for top and mid lanes when required. Also I hard carried a ranked game with Taric when we started 0-9 simply by pretty much calling all the shots after that point. Zoso knows :3. I really agree with PX where even if you your lanes get destroyed (that Taric game we started like 0-9). At least at my Elo (1350ish-1400ish) as long as you organize and start doing team objectives (dragons,towers,barons, group gankings, etc.) you can easily turn games around because a lot of teams simply don't know how to use that early advantage.

u shouldnt be getting philo probably unless u need the regen in lane (aka you are a mana ***** or u have to spam spells to farm) or youre building into shurelias or cloak and dagger
if u are ap carry u are better off just getting a lot of dorans rings. support should just get ap or survivability now instead of getting 3 gold/5s imo

philo is the most gold efficient gold/10 by a mile and a half, even after the nerfs. if you have mana and are getting any gold/10, Philo is the #1 priority.
All 4 gold/10s is dumb, but the best carriers for it are Alistar and then Poppy I guess. I dunno, it's pretty stupid to go beyond 3 at this point.

Thanks for that man.
I never really thought of auto attacking a little bit after E.
I've been trying to get better at placing W behind where I think they are going to move to so they run into it.
Yeah it's just the fear of getting stunned against Annie is huge, so I don't feel I can pressure her as much.
I get too confident sometimes and she just Ult stuns me and I'm dead in like a second.
My laptop also kinda sucks, the best FPS I get in like 20 one on on then like 5-10 in team fights
Makes playing kinda difficult.
Also wondering, 1st big item purchase, Archangels or the Hat?
I'm leaning towards archangels because of mana issues I have early>mid game.
I find myself unable to farm/pressure because I have no mana left.
I will grab HoG, Philo, and Kage on support Alistar, but that's about it. You generally want to max out at 2 (most often Philo and HoG), even on Poppy. You can't delay her items THAT long.
@Arc - Don't let DanGR yell at you about jungling, he knows nothing!
@Sent - as an AP you generally want deathcap to be your first major item. Archangel's is very minor, and honestly you probably could go without it entirely. Grab some survivability instead.

I think Dan should jungle more so he can get better at it
