What champions/kind of champion should I use Yorick, Vlad, and Shen against? o-o

 

[Mogwai]

All kinds probably. They're all pretty safe picks top.

Vlad has problems vs. everyone if you're a derp, but is good if you're not. Spec defensively, use armor/mres quints as necessary and just live till level 9 + WotA and then start ruining the whole cast.

Yorick can lose to really bursty guys early or high sustainers, but he's ungodly easy to play and will beat most players by just ghoul spamming with a manamune.

Shen loses to the stronger sustain characters like Udyr and WW, but is pretty safe and strong against everything else.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Ryze or Cass against Vlad. Morde works vs Vlad, Sion works vs Vlad.

 

[Asdioh]

Ziggs is unbelievably obnoxious.

Time to play him!

So I need to keep up with the jungle meta-game so I'm going to try some more junglers. Junglers I have used extensively:

1.) Amumu
2.) Alistar
3.) Lee Sin
4.) Udyr
5.) Skarner
6.) Shyvana
7.) Trundle
8.) Rammus
9.) Shaco
10.) Maokai
11.) Nocturne
12.) Warwick

I've been told I should also pick up these junglers:
1.) Pantheon
2.) Jarvan
3.) Mundo

Anyone else?

Regards,

King of the Jungle

I misread the post earlier and gave you some of Vlad's counterpicks instead of his good matchups, rofl.

Vlad can do well vs tons of mid champs. As long as you know what trades you don't win... and that you should pretty much never Q a minion before lvl 5 unless you're out of HP pots.
One champ I've never NOT dominated as Vlad so far is Viktor. Q for Q, you win each trade by a landslide.

Fizz makes vlad cry tears like he was a n american high school student watching kony 2012 for the first time

I play Just Your Average Joes(JYAJ) [spellsy, zig, captain korea, onebadbrad, and zion spartan] at 9 pm EST/8 pm CST/6 pm PST for NESL Premier League. I think it will be casted if not I will stream it if anyone wants to watch.

Evelyn.
lol.

That image doesn't exist.

AP Karma is still hella fun to play for some reason.

 

[Sinister Slush]

It's funny how they ban Eve over Twitch.

 

[Espy Rose]

Any word on the legitimacy of that Stealth remake article, by the way?

You know most of those bans are probably targeted at rincent....

Wanna know this as well.

I laned against a Ziggs as Annie today. He was pretty bad. I lost the lane.

.....Needless to say, I don't feel good about it.

No idea, I just found it here.

The word that's censored should be obvious to you all.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I like that actually.

 

[ToferTheHuman]

I bet Espy is excited.
Now people won't dodge when he goes Eve.

 

[Flayl]

Zac, is that from a league or tournament? Or are those Ranked game statistics?

 

[Espy Rose]

My Mid-Lane Eve has a positive win rate.

 

[Omni]

I have never carried my team harder than I just did with Jungle WW.

 

[Espy Rose]

I fed my WW with Lulu once. It was amazing how much he hurt people.

 

[ToferTheHuman]

I fed a WW one time.
But our Poppy carried us.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Everything is entirely my fault, especially when I'm unable to gank all three lanes at the same time while wards are too expensive.

[Asdioh]

stupidest game I've seen in a while. Our GP fed Fizz SO HARD, and even though Ashe and I were absolutely ****** Malphite and Taric bottom lane, we kept losing teamfights and getting our towers pushed. Managed to ace them once but I had like 10 hp left so I had to go heal. Then I tried to surrender when they were close to killing our nexus but my team was like nah, and then we ended up acing them again and they surrendered even though they had all their base towers left. Fizz said "free win for you" or something. >_>
We might have been able to kill a bunch of towers but I doubt we could have destroyed the nexus before they respawned..

Anyway, it felt amazing to play non-jungle Volibear for once. My ganks with junglebear are inconsistent, and combined with his kinda slow jungling time it's awkward to play him jungling. I love laning with him though, and flinging people to their deaths.

 

[Wave⁂]

When is it acceptable to build Sunfire? I hear it's good on Shen and Malphite.

 

[ShroudedOne]

Every single Ziggs I've seen so far (since his release) has been terrible. Is no one good with him?

 

[Teh Brettster]

I personally don't like ever building Sunfire. It's just so gold inefficient and doesn't give you a counteracting effect to the attacker. Randuin and Frozen Heart will always be better in my eyes.

I'd like to think I'm pretty decent with him. I haven't seen Zac do poorly with him. It's odd that all of them you see are bad. I don't find him that hard to play. Toughest thing about him is knowing how to use his passive to win your lane.

Salce is very, very good with him.

Then again, he's Salce.

 

[Asdioh]

Yeah, sunfire kinda sucks. It would be nice if you could upgrade certain items in this game like you could in DotA, by buying the recipe again. I think the aoe damage for sunfire cape is way too low anywhere past midgame, and there are much better things to get in midgame. But maybe that's just me.

 

[UTDZac]

I think my ziggs is good. bujt what do i know

Sunfire's been nerfed repeatedly, that's why it looks sucky now. Before though, they were fun lool.

I got it from the league sub-reddit. I believe they were community votes or something

 

[PhantomX]

Yay Zac and Dphat survived the tornadoes!

 

[Vyke]

Drats, my plans--foiled again.

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Guys please give me some lee sin advice. I just had three of the most depressing games of my life...

 

[Ussi]

edit: @guy asking about Ziggs- From trying free week Ziggs.. he's really fun. he's got 1 skill shot move and 2 zoning moves and an ult that is easier to avoid the farther you are and does more damage in the center (meaning its meant for zoning instead of sniping if you aren't using it close range)

Ziggs is pretty different than your standard nuke them down AP

 

[Asdioh]

You know that jungle glitch where the monster runs back to its starting position while healing really fast? How do you prevent that? I realize they can't go too far, but sometimes they seem to reset even without going too far. It happens to me the most with Volibear because of the Fear aspect of his roar... but srsly where can I find info on exactly how it works? It's so annoying to get massively set back jungling when it looks like the golem's not even close to as far away as it can go.


And why do people keep saying Volibear is OP when I play with them -_-
