I don't really know why Swain isn't run top more in this current metagame. He gives most melee the business.

ignite + bad auto attack animation

 

[King Funk]

Voyboy was driving a Chevrolet movie theater.

 

[PhantomX]

Wonder if he runs a 0-9-21 Renekton or 0-21-9 (probably the latter), though I guess you could argue for the former.

YES, Maokai! Plus Galio... super sneaky.

Talon, though? o_O I hope to be impressed. A little sad b/c of no Renekton, though.

 

[DanGR]

Them bad autoattack animations are definitely the reason some champs aren't played often.

they fixed morganas + minor buffs and suddenly everyone plays her

they also nerfed swains heal hard

 

[jpak]

hes 21 ofense renekton btw

 

[DMG]

^^^^^^

Was bout to say

 

[PhantomX]

Really? Hrm.

I haven't tried that yet. Been making him mostly defensive spec w/ offensive builds so far. I'll have to give it a shot.

@Fro the auto attack animations don't matter at all. She became better when they took like a second of channeling time off her ult. She still farms pretty much entirely with her pool. At high levels of play it doesn't matter because they can hit even w/ bad animations.

 

[john!]

max snare on swain, or at least get a quick level 3 snare

yes i'm serious

makes farming 10x easier

 

[PhantomX]

Omg... RS being so brutal.

That no Wriggle's Udyr, lol.

 

[smasher_25]

now that a lot of top lanes are taking teleport for split pushing/dragon or whatever

picking swain might mess that up quite a bit.
if your team 5 picks swain, you either cant die top lane (they keep teleport) or you make them change their whole strategy

 

[PhantomX]

So happy to be seeing utility supports over sustain supports bottom. Makes the game much more exciting to watch w/ all the ganks and skirmishes instead of just farming while everyone stays full health.

That's when you use the CHAD-SUMMONER-SPELL-SETUP.

CSSS for short.

So I kinda want to try out Rumble, what should I do with him and how does he work? Ive seriously only ever played against a Rumble once, and he wasnt that great and was always in a different lane than me, so I have no idea what he does. I literally only want to use him cuz I think he looks cool lol.

You should use him because he's an amazing top lane ^^

Seriously though, q+w spam harass is op, e to kite anyone who gets ballsy to chase you after, then using your ult whenever they overextend a tiny bit for a free kill.

 

[PhantomX]

They choose Swain to counter Jax top...

and then they just send Kog up there, haha... but Pobelter doesn't care.

 

[Frolossus]

its unbelievably sad when your bot lane dies 14 times to a 3 stealth + fiddles team

 

[john!]

pobelter making swain players everywhere proud :D

[Pikaville]

What's D3?

 

[Ignatius]

Diablo 3.

 

[Z'zgashi]

[Zolga Owns]

I've been running 21 offense on Kat ever since I accidentally took my Akali runes/masteries on her. It's fun.

[StealthyGunnar]

What are your guys' opinions on Lee sin and Renekton? I can't help but feel Lee Sin is better, but I just can't make him work...

Also, is Ez viable?

 

[Gifts]

Jungle lee sin lvl 2 gank op.

Lee Sin is an amazing jungler- does it very quickly and has extremely good ganks. He can work in lane too.
Renekton seems a little underwhelming compared to the other melee AD. However, Lane Udyr's nerfs made Renekton a lot more viable. He's beginning to see a lot of play now.

Ez can fit on a team. Not often, imo.

I still don't see Renekton getting "a lot of play" as you say he is.

He's more of a burst DPS than sustained DPS (not including his ultimate) b/c of his garbage attack speed, which (aside from Mordekaiser and, to an extent, Jax) are the more popular choices for top. However his post-lvl 4 game is quite good.

Lee Sin is ridiculously good, but will probably see nerfs in the very near future.

I mean, not a lot of play. Just a ton more than he used to see. I think I've seen him in about 5 top level tournament games in the last couple weeks.
