What do you guys think of AD Malphite? I've been going the way of Triforce+Force of Atmogs and I've been seeing huge success, but it might be that I'm just getting lucky. Idk, a 40% AD steroid with 63% splash sounds too good to pass up to me.

It works, it just isn't as good as more common TankyDPS.

Unless you're MacD.

Got another one of the akali clips. This time from ocelote:

[yt]4X3ia590kho[/yt]
i will never be impressed by an akali player because she is too stupid and easy to win with. :glare:

all i saw there was an akali mashing w whenever she got in trouble, and her *** constantly being saved by her teammates while she used her broken damage and spellvamp to outheal their damage.

call me a hater, but i call them like i see them.

Yay, someone else who agrees that Akali is a braindead OP character!

So I'm going to start my own match-up chart then. If you're bored you can contribute.

Probably start off with the champs I use first.

I'd probably just go under the assumption that the champs are at LVL 6 (have all their abilities).

And the assumption that it's just 1v1 Mid. Even if those champs don't belong in mid.

I'm not looking for specifics. Just either this champ Win's or Loses. If it's up to debate or a toss-up, then Even.

Well you also have to assume that the champs will be played perfectly. So Orianna will never miss a Q>W or Akali will use the Delayed Q mark technique for double damage, or Vayne will Auto>Tumble>Condemn into wall if lane opponent walks by it. In most matchup charts human error isn't taken into account.

But then there are characters like Vlad that don't hit their stride till they max a certain skill(when he gets rank 5 Tranfusion)

well, like, if you assume level 6, you miss A LOT of many matchups. If Morgana can assume she's level 6 with as much CS as Pantheon, it's probably not a bad matchup, but she seriously gets hard zoned pre-6 and the lane just snowballs. If we assume Singed has to play mid, he doesn't have enough room to do anything and he loses every matchup, but if we let him play top, he basically ***** every bruiser.

tl;dr: Tom's right, it's not that great an idea :(.

Riven Looks pretty cool...but so did talon and I only played him like 3 times though

I feel like its almost impossible to go negative with Talon...like...with just Brutalizer the kid is doing mad damage.

rushing the Will feels excessive IMO. Revolver -> Rylai's/Hourglass IMO.

Also... god, I know how stupid this is going to sound... but I think there's a decent point to be made about favoring Gunblade over Will on Kennen. Probably not always, but I have seen several Revolver -> Ryali's -> Gunblade Kennens and they look ****ing nasty because of how that AD interacts with his W and his in general high base Attack Speed.

Either way, the point remains that 15% Spell Vamp seems like enough lane sustainability with Kennen's crazy sustainable Qs, so rushing for that extra 10% Spell Vamp over getting a faster utility/survivability item feels bad.

my friend plays kennen a ton and has been experimenting with gunblade and such. It can be done but it honestly isn't as good. He even went to the extent of trying malady and gun blade. His findings where pretty simple though. When are you going to auto attack in say a team fight with him? Point being you really arent and all its going to do is effect your burst damage more.

Dont feel bad though my friend thought the exaxt same thing you did haha.

Malady is just a bad item. Period. The end.

I mean, the thing is that Kennen has 575 attack range and very strong base AS, so he can attack relatively safely and effectively. These 2 things are the whole reason why AD Kennen works at all (like, real AD Kennen, the style Azen plays, not regular Kennen with a gunblade). Anyway, if you're just all-inning in 5v5 teamfights, yea, sure, Gunblade probably is just a poor use of money, but if the game involves split pushing and small skirmishes for map control, in these smaller fights, Gunblade is a good option IMO.

Kennen seems to be becoming a lot more popular now. NOT A FAN.

That poke hurts and he's so stupidly bulky. 8|

I feel this exact same way about finishing WoA.

Like on Vlad, I don't know why people rush a full Will. If you buy an item for more AP, you essentially get more spell vamp anyway... but then you also do damage to what you're stealing health from.
Honestly, I usually finish out my Will last unless I have a few teammates who will benefit well from it.

Just reminding everyone here that this Sunday night is "PC night" where if you play any (non-shooter) PC game online with other SWFers, you'll get postbits! :)

You know the little icons next to your username on SWF? (i.e. The BRoomer Grimer and the unmod icons?)

Those are postbits.

It's like that grimer you have under your info juan. Although I have no idea how you'd verify everyone playing with other SWFers, but I'll take a free postbit. It's not like we weren't gonna play together anyway.

Also does TF2 count as a hat simulator or a shooter.

Maybe it's that when I'm Vlad, I'm usually the one doing more harrassing by the time I have money after my revolver. I'm usually getting up to lvl 9 at that point.
And I just become more focused on my burst ability.

Do any of you have lane matchups you can't decide if you love or hate?

I can't decide if I LOVE or HATE playing against Akali mid as Vlad. Because I ALWAYS trade kills. Always always always. And it's a race to either first blood or more farm while we repeatedly screw each other's worlds up.
