Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Zero_Gamer]

I still think Rammus and Cho Gath are better than Galio. Like, Rammus is best tank in my book.

 

[Mogwai]

Would RoA be a good item on him? I only build him With Magic res items with a thornmail.

I always did Philo + Chalice -> Deathcap on him and then playing it by ear whether I needed defense of offense. I'm generally not a big fan of RoA and I'm even less of a fan of it when Banshee's is so good on Galio.

 

[Wave⁂]

I get Abyssal before DC.

 

[Abel1994]

My build

Chalice > Merc > Veil > Thornmail > FoN > anything.

Im finding Malphite to be so much fun to play because of his ult and nice dmg he does. I build Warmong first with him :D

 

[DallasPhat]

thornmail blows, freaking frozen heart > thornmail by a large margin.

 

[PhantomX]

And FH also comes with a lot of CDR. I always sadface when people have Thornmail.

 

[Abel1994]

Well it looks like ima build it instead of Thornmail. I always chose Thornmail because my ult makes people hit me :/

 

[Cia]

Avarice seals make it so that support can start game with 5g p/10.

So.. Avarice seals. or Armor seals?

(currently running 8 avarice 1 armor)

 

[PhantomX]

Depends on if you are passive support or aggressive support. If you sit behind your team and don't take much damage/harass then grab the gold.

[DallasPhat]

you stole that twitch rune page from vampyro.

 

[Sinister Slush]

you stole that twitch rune page from vampyro.

Who now?

 

[Wave⁂]

And FH also comes with a lot of CDR. I always sadface when people have Thornmail.

Even if your support / tank have FH?

 

[PhantomX]

What if they die, and now their DPS does even more damage!? If you have the money and it's a good item for you, no harm in getting it.

 

[Deleted member]

thornmail sucks but i ONLY get it if they have a dumb auto attacker and i get on their *** as chogath making them shoot me AND someone else already got one

otherwise 99.99% of cases not that good

 

[Wave⁂]

What if they die, and now their DPS does even more damage!? If you have the money and it's a good item for you, no harm in getting it.

If your tank dies, aren't you sort of screwed either way?

 

[DarkDragoon]

If your tank dies, aren't you sort of screwed either way?

Not if it's just you and the other DPSer left when he dies, and you have FH and they don't.
-DD

 

[Wave⁂]

Not if it's just you and the other DPSer left when he dies, and you have FH and they don't.

Wouldn't their tank still be alive / die after your tank because you don't do as much damage due to the Frozen Heart?

 

[DarkDragoon]

Wouldn't their tank still be alive / die after your tank because you don't do as much damage due to the Frozen Heart?

Not in this hypothetical situation, no.
In this one, the two tanks ended up killing each other.
And in reality, you'll probably do more damage than the person without the Frozen Heart. Unless they replaced their frozen heart with like...a Last Whisper or something.

Also, Ahri's Q sounds super fun.

Ahri sends out her orb, dealing 40/65/90/115/140 (+0.33) magic damage, and pulls it back dealing 40/65/90/115/140 (+0.33) True damage.
Cost
60/65/70/75/80 Mana
Range
880

I feel like it is similar to:

Mark of the Assassin -
Akali throws her kama at a target enemy to deal 45/70/95/120/145 (+0.4) magic damage and mark the target for 6 seconds.

Akali's melee attacks against a marked target will consume the mark to cause 45/70/95/120/145 (+0.4) magic damage and restore 15/20/25/30/35 Energy.
Cost
60 Energy
Range
600

Except you can just use it to really harass people and NOT be in danger. And that range is huge, so playing at the very edge of it will easily grab you both hits.

Gosh I just want this champ already.
-DD

 

[Nakamaru]

It has more similarity to Talon's E (i think, i've only played talon like once) than it does Akali's Q.

Akali's Q is a mark, and Ahri's orb does nothing of the sort.

[PhantomX]

Didn't Riot say they were never going to put in items that provided hard CC?

Runegorger excites me for Riven, Jarvan, Nocturne, etc.

Donno who would get that Hex Souldrain item though.

 

[Wave⁂]

I'm not sure if I like where Riot's been going with lifesteal and spellvamp everywhere.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Maybe they want to encourage options other than Wriggle's and Bloodthirster? In that case, please, please, please, buff Executioner's Calling (and fix the tool tip too).

 

[PhantomX]

This isn't from a red, but It seems believable

"Four of those items (Krigger's Barrier, Abpon's Paper Fan, Katsudion's Glue Gun, Tosajiro's Funny Mask) are joke items put in by Shurelia. The others were prototype items that didn't pass testing. Runegorger was the prototype for Hexdrinker."

 

[Shaya]

Shurelia left riot ages ago though :|

 

[Mogwai]

no he didn't. vampyro runs arpen, arpen, crit, crit. real ****ing man page.

 

[john!]

it depends

spoken like a true falcon main

stuff

i'll just comment as i read

- i like armor runes instead of dodge, dodge is going to go anyway so consider armor for tough lane matchups *cough*****ing vayne*cough*

- bloodrazor and wit's end do magic damage, but your role on the team is an AD carry and you should be doing huge crits past 40 minutes. i'd get phantom dancer instead of bloodrazor (which is a bad item all around IMO) and probably skip wit's end unless your team is lacking in magic damage

- if they have lots of physical damage you might want wriggle's instead of bloodthirster

- vamp scepter is generally considered a weak start, but now that potions are nerfed it might be good, i don't know. try doran's blade or boots + 3 pots and see what works

- most ranged carries get last whisper, the reason is because they can't always get in position to hit the squishies and sometimes have to hit high-armor targets. get it after your first few items

- to be perfectly honest, i haven't played twitch once since the final nerf to his ultimate, i was pretty pissed lol. so maybe check out some other guides and see what twitches these days are building, i'm just giving you general ranged AD tips

- i don't play TF (i probably have like 5-10 games as him, compared to 40 twitch games and 170 anivia games, they were 2 of my mains back in the day) and i've never tried hybrid TF, so i won't comment lol

- anivia is best played as a high damage nuker IMO, i've never really played her as a support/aura hero because she has fantastic support abilities even when built full AP

- get lich bane only after you have at least 300 ap, it's not really worth it otherwise IMO

- i usually prefer void staff instead of abyssal scepter, for the same reasons that i prefer last whisper on twitch. situational though

- frozen heart doesn't give you any more power (other than CDR, some of which is wasted if you have blue buff) but it could be good if they are very heavy in physical damage. consider zhonya's if you want more power

- if you want to try something different you can use my SECRET MAGE ITEM TRIUMVIRATE OF ULTIMATE SYNERGY:

rod of ages
rabadon's
archangel's

all three are very cost-efficient items and they synergize perfectly, give it a shot if you want to try something different

as a side note, i've found the best league guides site to be solomid.net

http://solomid.net/guides.php

the guide you linked is pretty out of date

[M3D]

Shurelia left riot ages ago though :|

Those items might have been in previous patches but no one noticed until now. They might also have been part of a group of changes being worked on for future release and when those changes were integrated into the release client, the coders didn't take the time to scrub the unused files from the game. Happens ALL the time in game development. Spend some time reviewing game code and you'll find a bunch of swear words, inside jokes and left over files packed into the gold master. Totally believable in this case.

The Firebomb and Prism items look they are tuned for use with the stealth rework. What I've suggested and I think is the current plan with stealth is that the unit is revealed if they take damage and cannot restealth for a specific amount of time after taking the damage. So firebomb would be useful in team fights AND it would be good for protecting against stealth. I'd really like them to drop in a "Sting Ward" too, where you can place a ward down that deals 1 Damage to any enemy unit that comes into its field of view. That way you could drop one behind you in lane and prevent those "OH CRAP TWITCH IS BEHIND US AND WE'RE BOTH DEAD NOW" moments bot lane.

 

[jpak]

So who do you guys see in "high elo" that consistantly win mid/top lane but probably aren't on a team?!

 

[DMG]

Leacero forces me to do the gayest **** to stay in lane

 

[HondaFoo]

Leacero seems to know my every move and dodges all my ****ing skillshots

 

[ArcNatural]

So who do you guys see in "high elo" that consistantly win mid/top lane but probably aren't on a team?!

ZionSparta (I think) and The Cpt. America are the two that come to mind to me. I feel like The Cpt. America has a team though and I just don't know what it is.

 

[@TKbreezy]

Leacero can you teach me the ways of 1v1 AP Mid?

 

[DUB]

lol'd hard at she just hit 6 and we got a double

ZionSparta (I think) and The Cpt. America are the two that come to mind to me. I feel like The Cpt. America has a team though and I just don't know what it is.

zion spartan is on Bro Fist Gaming (BFG), and i think cpt america is a rager. gimme moreee!

No I don't play ranked. Only once, As Singed.

ok first never open AP tome + pot like ever either boots + 3 pots or sapphire + 2 pots

for TF go straight AP, deathcap + lichbane + void staff + WotA + zhonyas + sorcs

for anivia just go straight AP don't build lich bane or abyssal scepter(get void staff instead)
zhonyas is also decent on her sometimes i turn a catalyst into banshees still
the only aura item you would want is WotA on her.

Support anivia is bad because AP anivia literally does everything support anivia can potentially do only with 100x the damage

jpak is locicero on a team now?
