naaaaa

I played vs. atmog's + triforce nidalee yesterday and it was the single most frustrating game of my life.

 

[john!]

leblanc's ratios are way better than kassadin's, just ignore him guys.

 

[Wave⁂]

LeBlanc doesn't have the greatest AoE damage in the game, though.

 

[Mogwai]

yea, LeBonk bursts way harder than Kass. I think Kass is way better in teamfights though cuz force pulse OP as **** in teamfights.

Every time I do this build people tell me I'm stupid and should be AP, idk why people encourage me being a healbot late game instead of something more useful

it's just so impossible to kill that nid. basically, if your team can win a 4v4, she's a giant pain in the ***, but she's not as strong as AP Nid in teamfights.

I love when mogwai posts because I get to see the most beautifully executed belly flop every time.

I love how the dog jumps and gains no distance whatsoever.

It's pretty hilarious to bait an entire team off of a push solo, though.

nya nya nyan~

 

[@TKbreezy]

I just had a nid in my game that built Warmogs, Force of Nature, and Glacial shroud (prolly into frozen heart)

she went 10/1/3

what?

@TKBro - Base Damage/Good at kill securing? idk.

To add to the LeBlanc discussion, reducing her cooldowns slightly would make her a stronger character and implementing something like half the mana cost of a spell is refunded if she kills her target. This would make farming with her spells easier and make it so she doesn't have to rely on kills to be useful. Kass can farm atleast. Leblanc needs to blow her ~14ish second CD escape to AOE a wave and then, lord help her, if it doesn't completely kill them, her ult which has ~25 sec CD. It would allow her to gain gold without her only option being "THROW EVERYTHING AT ENEMY LANER AND HOPE THEY DIE TO GAIN INCOME".

5 AD Ranged Carries. Twas a fun snowball, Baron at 15, Nexus at 19, but an early game d/c, a rage quitter, and a lack of enemy tank isn't as fun. Normal solo queue* game though, so victory isn't as sweet.

I probably won't be doing ranked games unless I'm with the SA SWF group now that I hit 30.

Edit: I'm pretty sure someone else listed the same situation in the thread before though.

 

[john!]

sion has that great afk-easymode-instafarm style that i like and he's great at ganking. probably gonna play him more

What's a good Nasus build? You guys were talking about him so much that I figured I'd change from my usual 'win lane easily but taper off early' champ selection to a 'pretty meh in lane more often than not but rips **** in half late-game' champ.

I don't need runes (not lvl 20 yet), just items. I was thinking just Triforce + tanky stuff, but idk.

philostone, dodge boots and runes, into a later miracle or reverie, with a frozen heart/FoN/quicksilver sash/triforce late game is good imo. I don't know what's optimal tho.

 

[MacD]

shoulda copied that other nasus's build

seems like he had the one up on you

 

[Scamp]

Some Nasuses (Nasii?) like to get CDR as soon as possible (usually a soul shroud and maybe one other) for faster Q farming.

Others build more like what Dan just said.

It all depends on either preference or how quickly your team needs you in the teamfights.

 

[Wave⁂]

Atma's is too good to pass up, IMO. I usually get an early Sheen / Triforce.

i got CDR early when i played him

 

[-Vocal-]

Settle down you two.

Slightly bigger Typhlosion is slightly bigger

 

[john!]

so are there still people who believe that graves isn't overpowered?

i don't think i've ever seen a graves do badly. they usually carry the hell out of their team. he's the new release vayne

i think riot should release heroes on the up side and slowly wait to see if people figure out how to do well with them... then they can buff if necessary

 

[Circa]

Yeah after my first game with Nasus I think I already started to work out the kinks. Rush Philo and Sheen and then immediately start working on the CDR stuff. Last game I was trying to get a full Triforce first just to see how useful it was, and I just found a lot of moments where I wished I was tankier and could farm Q more. Luckily a lot of CDR items give tanky stats.

Why Dodge boots though? Between W and Frozen Heart being his most logical choice for armor, I really don't understand why being able to dodge the auto-attacks that you've slowed to a halt is going to help much, especially when the tenacity from Merc's would usually come out to one or two more Qs during a teamfight (if not more).

Does it deal with his kiting issue? I can't really think of any other use.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I don't like to rush Sheen on Nasus. I'd rather grab tankiness first... like a phage.

 

[Wave⁂]

Part of the reason you can go Tabi is because you can build an Eleisa's from a Philo Stone.

 

[fkacyan]

Our mid cass fed Graves and he TWOSHOT me. I had 65% damage reduction from armor

Q > R. Bam. Ow.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Glacial shroud rush on Nasus is amazing vs top lane ad bruisers

Philo into glacial is a strong start usually

Also graves is op as ****

After that, go into the usual Triforce / tanky ****?

We pretty much had the same build, lol.

I fell behind tho cuz I didn't use teleport intelligently that game. :[

 

[Sinister Slush]

I think i'm no longer gonna play LoL until I get a new laptop battery. It tends to turn off only when i'm playing LoL for some reason. I've gotten 3 leaves cause of this now.

 

[Wave⁂]

Unless you're getting random shutdowns while your laptop is charging, I don't think that's a problem with the battery.

 

[Tom]

could be a graphics issue

OMG nashors tooth is one of Baron Nashors teeth! OMFG!!!

I wonder if everyone actually does experience this, where there's a whole separate universe created just for you to have ***-bad teammates every time you start up a solo queue game.

john! syndrome.

funny, every game i've played with smashers, i've carried hard.
