Just tried out Karma. She's pretty fun, but man does she run out of mana fast.

I don't think she's that great, though. Kind of like a weaker Janna.

Janna is still good, isn't she?

Personally, I think Janna is the best support in the game right now.

i have an idea. what would happen if riot gave flash automatically to every character? (on the "t" key, for example)

the recall spell was originally a summoner spell, but they changed it; why not do the same with flash?

the game is balanced around flash, but i'm sick of seeing 8-9 flashes every game, and i think this would open up a lot of cool strategies for summoner spell usage, particularly in premades.

Ghost and then t, congratulations, you've made jungle ganks even stronger!

 

[Tom]

So I played my first ever game with singed today:

Spoiler

That match lasted 49 mins btw.

vs that team i would have gotten ninja tabi. but i always get either tabi or mercs, i never get boots3. and i get a catalyst (for my roa) and then my rylais crystal scepter, then finish roa, then continue on to a heart of gold -> sunfire -> randuins. just some things i'd do instead. probably finish with FoN.

Hmmm, Ill look into that. It was my first game, so I kinda winged it lol.

>_> Why do people dislike the Riven art so much?
Like...it doesn't look bad to me...by American Standards.
If it was the Chinese Art there might be a problem.
-DD

 

[Jazriel]

What's new? Dominion out yet? Magma Chamber?

 

[Z'zgashi]

Looked at Riven skins, omg, wtf, yes, I love this one so much:

Spoiler

EDIT: seems that Karma is going to be the next Champion Spotlight char.

 

[Coney]

i'm addicted to armor-pen garen

this is ****ing stupid

i've gone 11-0 in the past two games i've played him, 7-0 the one before that, 19-1 a bit before that

the only way we lose is if the situation i posted about before happens, otherwise he just feels completely overpowered

flash>q>e>ignite is a guaranteed first blood at level 2 and after that, i can either get my second dorans and boots or i get free farm because the person is scared to ****ing death.

then i kill top 3 times, kill everyone else and they blame top for feeding an already stupid powerful garen and their morale is crushed and we win

i highly recommend armor-pen garen, most fun i've had playing this game

i hate garen v. vayne top lane though, kiting *****

They dislike the original which looked terrible. All the art that is currently up for her is good.

Though generally people like Riven the White much more than her default.

 

[Tom]

riven the white does look really good, but i havent seen them in-game yet so i dont know if id buy it. i like her default skin too.

so far im 0/2 for liking the crimson elite skins.

 

[Frolossus]

Yeah kat is really easy as brand, you can out harass her easily, and the only way she is going to kill you is her ult, so just stun her when she ults. Just play safe if your e/q is on cooldown and her ult is up.

kat should roflstomp brand in a lane x:
skill shot based champs really suck vs her

 

[Mogwai]

that's because Crimson Elite look like ****.

I'm not a fan of the Commando skins either though, so I guess I just don't like that niche of skins.

 

[Ignatius]

Commando Jarvan is the best Jarvan skin. Other than that, I'm not a fan of the other Commandos.

 

[Mogwai]

it's weird, but Commando Jarman is my least favorite Jarman. I don't like any of the Commandos, though Commando Garen will always have a soft spot in my heart for this:

and Commando Xin Zhao will always have a soft spot in my heart for this:

 

[DarkDragoon]

The crimson elite look more like power rangers to me than they look like villains, which is what they're supposed to be, technically.

-DD

 

[Ignatius]

Are you counting the skin you get for being gold/plat as part of that worst Jarvan skin? Because there's no way you think that skin is better than Commando.

 

[Plum]

Commando Jarvan got nothing on Dragon Slayer.

I haven't seen it in game yet, so I haven't formed an opinion of it yet. I tend to not pre-judge ****.

You know exactly where she's going to appear, lol.

Why are you playing Phoenix udyr?

After Jatt's performance at the iem ny qualifiers a lot of the junglers are trying out phoenix. I was watching Dan's and Saint's streams as I was ironing my clothes for work and they are all running Phoenix. I myself have never liked tiger stance I could never pull ganks with it. With Phoenix I would go like 12/1/13 ish.

And ty DMG for the info!

I don't really understand this, because Tiger stance has absurd damage output w/ sheen, but hey, whatevs. If it works.

 

[PhantomX]

I used to run Phoenix in jungle, Tiger in lane. But I built Wriggle's on both

The difference is that Tiger does up-front burst and it is localized. Phoenix actually does comparable damage and in an AoE (fairly significant AoE), you just need to get the three auto attacks in first.

Phoenix is also much faster at jungling.

reminds me of the good ole days where you'd see lilBallz or Jatt on Udyr in the loading screen and just know that you were 100% going to lose the game...

 

[Frolossus]

You know exactly where she's going to appear, lol.

she doesn't shunpo aggressively in those lanes, only to dodge skill shots coming at her

who else could you not buy razors on in the jungle?

 

[john!]

if you don't shunpo aggressively, then what's stopping brand from walking up and conflagrating you? how will you get last hits? i tried kat last week and she seemed rather bad compared to most solo laners.

 

[DanGR]

There is some truth to this.


It's like... Brand beats her in pure damage output with conflagration and autoattacks before her bouncing blades gets very strong. He beats her early just with that. Don't need pillar. Brand gets more last hits until kat turns about level 7-ish.

Later on it gets hard if you're leveling up the pillar>E>Q because it's so easy for her to dodge your stuff with shunpo. She can't really kill you, but she'll harass you out of lane and begin to control the lane. In the very long run she'll win with just bouncing blades.

Which brings up if you should rank E>W>Q instead of W>E>Q. She could probabably just push your lane if you do that. I DUNNO. I'd have to see.

W>E, 2 shot creepwaves, go spend your time doing something productive rather than playing footsies with Kat.

 

[DanGR]

I was talking about just in lane. But yeah, that works. :>

 

[DallasPhat]

Judging by fro logic kat should **** morgana LMFAO.
I love this thread.

 

[Frolossus]

Q for last hits + harass
also you can shunpo to to minions for last hits while simultaneously putting yourself into a position that allows you to hit them with your Q

just play passive till level 5 then spam Q and you won't lose your lane
@dphat kat does beat morgana
healing debuff op

 

[DallasPhat]

Damn.. guess that makes kat the best mid right fro? LMFAO

 

[Frolossus]

no it doesn't she just ***** skill shot dependent champions and most popular AP mids atm
annie gives her trouble, pretty much anyone that can flat out destroy her before level 5 wins the lane

and bruisers just **** on her if they go defense tree + MR glyphs

fixed. Personally I think all the skill shot APs beat her by just pushing the lane non-stop once she gets slightly scary for them. Also Malz DESTROYS her cause you jump on him with your ult and he's like, "oh, you're staying still, thanks lemme unload mah combo on you, lolololol"

 

[Zolga Owns]

Kat is an undervalued character, but she isn't as godlike as Fro implies. His problem is that he's very good at Katarina and rolfstomps anyone who doesn't know their character as well as he does. He exploits Katarina's few strengths in lane so well, that her obvious weaknesses are hidden when he solo's vs other APs. excluding Malz/Annie/Zilean/Anivia/Kennen(imo)

 

[Z'zgashi]

3rd game with Singed, just went 5/2/25. LIKING THE GUY A LOT.

 

[Turazrok]

Rawr I got silver.

I guess it'll do.

Singed so silly, especially for smurfing.

Patch Preview is out. Inb4 AP Taric new FotM

if shen gets too much damage, he'll be like a jungle version of twisted fate.

which is fine by me, as long as nobody else uses him >:D
