sit in your lane and farm and push. he's like nidalee. you pick a lane. you stay there. you take towers and all the cs.

 

[NJzFinest]

Just saw then name "Azen Zagenite" on a Kayle who was playing on Doublelift's stream...
had no clue he played LoL O.o

 

[Wave⁂]

They like vayne taric or taric + something.

It's easy to counter Taric / ranged AD carry?

 

[DallasPhat]

Taric a poor support tbh. Ali and soraka IMHO are both better.

 

[UTDZac]

Soraka is my favorite support. I love doing nothing an entire game and winning

 

[DallasPhat]

Must be nice having me carry you Zac . But nah good games yesterday, we're on a what.. 11 game win streak? lol
Anyways I don't know why people look down on solo que so much. I think it's a good indictation on how one "basic" knowledge and skill levels are at.
People believe taking a solo lane is the best way to raise your elo but I think the jungler has the most influence in the game. BUT that's just my opinion.

 

[PhantomX]

People don't think it's a good indicator of skill b/c there is a large lack of coordination and teamplay compared to actual tournament setting.

Some champs and strats are far more effective there than otherwise.

 

[DallasPhat]

I guess I've been lucky then, my last couple games been pretty coordinated but as a jungler you have a lot of say on what the teams does.

 

[DarkDragoon]

Decided to be more productive within the community, SOO I'm giving away jungling tips. If you need any help give me specific questions.

So this one time I was playing Nunu and died to blue twice after getting a leash. Kevin won't let me live this down, although I've never done this since. What should I do?

Real Question: Would it be smart to make a page for AP junglers and another page for AD Junglers? Or is it better to just make specific pages for 2 or 3 of them?

-DD

 

[DallasPhat]

I've got multiple pages for my nocturne alone. If they are severely ad heavy, I got a rune page that's specifically designed for AD heavy comps, or if they're AP heavy I got a rune page designated for that as well. I think it's always good to have multiple rune pages so that you aren't limited on your choices. My nocturne alone got 3 pages dedicated to him. One of my rune page has nearly +25 armor for heavy AD team comps, and if I feel like playing aggressive I have a heavy +AD rune page with armor pen and magic resist for early jungle invasion. But the reason I'm able to dedicate so many rune pages to specific champions is because I already accepted my role as jungler/support.

 

[jpak]

if my team is versus taric, we usually just use sivir or gp support or leona + ez/trist. cait does ok versus taric too. taric is still good if you can group and take advantage of his ultimate early

in solo queue you learn how to deal with trolls, not trust your teammates, do things you normally would/should not do in an arranged game that's all, you learn lots of unecessary things. most of the top teams now just use solo queue as a way to practice/learn new champs like elementz hotshot rainman regi etc..

 

[DallasPhat]

I think solo que alone taught me map awareness, if you want to get anywhere you will be staring at your minimap at all time.
Also DD if you want help on making specific rune pages give me a few sample team comp and we can talk it through.

 

[jpak]

you can improve the same way by playing solo queue normal.

 

[DallasPhat]

Well.. I think it's better for the team to rely on you then you relying on your team, just my honest opinion.

 

[Mogwai]

I have 1 AD Jungler Page and 1 Tank Jungler Page. Fiddlesticks can blow me, but I guess my caster page would probably work fine on him too.

 

[Shaya]

you don't have an ap shaco jungle rune page mogwai?

sheesh, get with the times :O

 

[PhantomX]

That's my general attitude towards Fiddlesticks as well. For some reason the one jungler that just doesn't click for me. I have a few more specialized pages here and there as well (Maokai, Cho'Gath), mostly b/c a lot of the pages I use in jungle can also serve as solo top bruiser pages.

ooo where?

>.> Yeah, I kinda just wanna play Assassin characters, but I'm not sure if that's a real role...so I play support too.

It would kinda help if I had a team to be dedicated to, but yeah. Regardless-

The only character I know how to jungle with consistently is Amumu. Because of that I think APs are easier to do it with rune-wise because they don't need to choose between ASpd/AD/APen runes. Or Amumu is just really easy.

Plus my consistent failure as a jungle when playing Xin/WW/Riven/Jarvan are issues. Although I haven't played them as jungle in forever, so maybe I could do it now...but before I thought it was just the runes/masteries because I wouldn't be able to clearly the jungle quickly or with enough health, and then not be able to get out ganks as a result, fall behind in levels, etc.

I'm just a mess in the jungle. LOL
-DD

 

[jpak]

Well.. I think it's better for the team to rely on you then you relying on your team, just my honest opinion.

Isn't it better play if you can trust and relly on all your teammates to make the right decision?

 

[DallasPhat]

There a difference between relying and trusting. You can trust your teammates but that doesn't mean you should rely on them to ALWAYS make the right decision. My mentality is prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Also DD amumu is a very poor jungler, he can be easily tampered/invaded on since his jungling route is so concrete. Whenever I see an enemy amumu I think of free wraiths and small golems after I finish blue. And an amumu invasion isn't that scary since he's usually low after completeing both blue and wolves. ALSO if you do start at blue I recommend you to finish your wolves first, if you're not doing that, that mean you just wasted 14 seconds. I always ask the support to CV junglers at blue (if I know they're starting there) and see if they did wolves first, if they didn't that mean after I'm done with blue I got plenty of time to steal there other half of their jungle.

 

[@TKbreezy]

can miss fortune solo top? or should I always go bot with a support

and if I can solo top what matchups does she win? if any

 

[Mogwai]

MF is just a bad version of Teemo top because creeps break her hookerwalk.

 

[Z'zgashi]

How would I go about using Soraka in Dominion. Lol.

 

[jiovanni007]

hookerwalk.

Don't talk about my baby like that. I don't have a link but there was a thread about changing MF's passive to not get broken by creeps that was picking up steam. I didn't see a dev post and there was no mention of it in the patch preview so it's just a dream.

 

[Mogwai]

well, that starts to encroach on Teemo's niche though, so I doubt they'd do that.

 

[_Dice]

well, that starts to encroach on Teemo's niche though, so I doubt they'd do that.

it doesn't encroach on his niche. his niche is to be the most annoying champ to play vs in the game. allowing mf to be faster through creeps does not affect that niche at all.

 

[Wave⁂]

Go bot, use Promote, Q, and E to farm and push, Smite if you have it. Let your creeps push, if you get attacked, just heal up. Once you have Rylai's, you can start doing damage. Read how her ult works and use it.

If I ever cap their bot, I just wander around with the rest of my team as a support.

 

[@TKbreezy]

and one last questions. I heard there was a thread somewhere about hidden passive in the game

idk if I was trolled or not but a one of them was like

"ninjas work better alone so when you have 2 or more ninjas on the same team (kennen, akali, shen) their max health is decreased by 1 point"

just stupid **** like that. true or false?

nvm found it http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_Passive

 

[DMG]

True.

True True True.

 

[Mogwai]

Leona's passive deals 1 less damage to characters wearing sunglasses.

 

[Wave⁂]

Nid's hidden passive is OP, nerf please

 

[UTDZac]

I still like Teemo's hidden passive the most. "AOE Global Taunt" pretty OP. Opponent's just can't resist tasty Yordles, especially those that have oracles active

 

[PhantomX]

And Nidalee gives "lower level" characters nearby her like 5 XP when she levels up, since she's a cougar and is helping them become experienced >_> Poop, the thread is shown there.

 

[Wave⁂]

Rammus's global taunt on noobs playing AD carries is glorious

 

[Allied]

you all like peepees

 

[DanGR]

you all like peepees

Get rocked SWF LoL.

Allied has spoken.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Teemo's passive is the reason I play him.

Spoiler

and he's adorable :3

 

[_Dice]

can anyone explain why this game isn't fun? every time i play i expect to have fun and i never can.

only time that has ever been fun was with tom&pals

 

[PhantomX]

Because you are doing it wrong.

So many way to have fun with this game, and two game types!
