is it me or are there more blitzcrank players as of late?

 

[PhantomX]

He is the flavor.

 

[IShouldBeStudying]

I've been seeing a lot of blitz in my 1500-1600 range and on streams.
I think I've been seeing him 2/3 games.

 

[Asdioh]

So, I want to include Unholy Grail into my Anivia build, but I don't know when I'd buy chalice as her. After my tear? Or as a replacement to tear? Or do I go tear > codex?

I also want to try it on Lux. Thoughts?

I don't know much about Anivia, but I feel like Grail and Tear would be kind of redundant? I hear Aniv needs a lot of mana, but still, the mana regen (plus the 12% on kill/assist) is massive, wouldn't you be better off building something else than Tear?

is it me or are there more blitzcrank players as of late?

I'm so used to seeing them in half my games I haven't even thought of it lately.

Mogwai playing Dunkmaster the 4th. Hype

So i'm last pick in normal draft and they give me top... and I'm like how nice I even bought Darius and the other team didn't have him.. so I pick him and i see his harass is pretty good. I started cloth/5 against a Riven who started boots/3 since I figured i have no sustain I should get more pots and defense and in the end the Riven was bad as I never had to pot till i got ganked by their shyvana. I just used spaced Q to harass and that was it.. I would also do E > W > Q to harass and it would take like half her health with the passive still ticking. With frozen mallet, his E is great at catching people to perma-slow them.

Also, i spectated a game with a SUPPORT Darius

 

[PhantomX]

Mogwai, we gotta start a legendary basketball players ranked team... spearheaded by Michael Jarvan the 4th and Hekareem Abdul Jabbar.

 

[Mogwai]

Don't forget Darius Miles!

 

[Sharky]

I'd only get Chalice if you need the MR or you really need a ton of mana regen early-game. Codex is much more threatening.

 

[PhantomX]

I'm down, Mogwai, let's do it. All BBall players all the way.

 

[tarmacker]

The return of Fiddlesticks.

 

[Player-3]

What about charles barkyi?

 

[Teh Brettster]

Steve Ashe?

(I don't even like Basketball-- just love plays on words and puns)

 

[DMG]

Summoners are NOT role models

 

[Turazrok]

Summoners are NOT role models

Charles Barkyi was my smurf for some time IIRC

 

[Espy Rose]

A Karthus carried me as Yi just now. I just pushed nonstop with Teleport/Ghost and Ionic Spark. Tore all the way to the inhibitor for mid and top lane.
Feels good.

 

[Leacero]

LOL basketball puns made me laugh guys. Thanks.

 

[Faithkeeper]

Tips vs double bruiser or blitzstar bot lanes? I guess I just need to play against them more, but I've lost hard against it twice now and it irks me.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Stay behind minions and farm under tower. Losing your tower early can be a good thing because it lets you farm easier. Value your life over minion gold/exp. Silently feel disappointed in partner that can't deal with it.

 

[Fragger]

Sums up all of my lanes, including jungle.

 

[Faithkeeper]

I can't handle it, so I guess I feel bad for myself.

 

[voorhese]

The lane basically never pushed for us. they let me get a few CS to start, and then froze the lane for like ever.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I just waited until laning was over, honestly. Just farm safely, wait until the fact that they have no AD carry sink all the way in, then come back.

And for the love of god, ward bushes.

 

[voorhese]

Alistar built full AD carry, and every other lane got outplayed so our jungler couldnt help us like at all. Eventually I did start farming again, and ended up having more CS than ali. but by then it was too late.

 

[Turazrok]

Malphite is so cool.

 

[Shaya]

The new chalice upgrade makes going AP top so much more enjoyable.

AP ezreal top so stronk.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I don't know how to teamfight with Nasus at all. I beat a GP and a Darius in lane pretty well, then we end up losing because of team fails/me not being the tank I need to be. Advice?

 

[Asdioh]

Does anyone else get black screen PvPnet when logging in? It keeps happening to me, it seems to happen most often when I look at firefox while it's loading, but either way it's annoying as hell having to re-login a few times just for it to work...

 

[Geoberos]

I keep forgetting about the Chalice upgrade. Not sure how it'll fit with Malz's build but it'd definitely solve some mana problems when trying to chase after laying down every skill in a teamfight.

 

[Lovage]

ashe owns blitz and ali if you have a durable support and you are good at kiting + positioning

What are you building?
You should be capping out CDR with tanky items (Frozen heart, spirit visage, etc etc).

 

[ShroudedOne]

I've been going cloth + pots first (or boots + pots depending on lane), then getting boots, regrowth pendant, then philo, then sheen, then shurelyas. I try to get glacial shroud in there, maybe after reverie. CDR seems really important on him, due to Q, but I've never thought of SV. Sounds like a really good idea on him, with the HP + passive to supplement his.

Sidenote: I've been having SUPER success with ignite/flash on my AD carries. Going to start carrying it regularly (I'm seeing it a lot more on the enemy carries too, for probably the same reason).

 

[@TKbreezy]

i built PD on Annie once. it ended up as good as i thought it would

If I was doing extremely well in lane I used to build Malady on Annie. That MagPen Shred AA's LOL

cept AD carry (Corki & Vayne) can go top lane

 

[Falcinho]

I'd just recommend that build the solo top from sypher is running most of the time.

His first 2 purchases are a Kindle Gem and Glacial shroud usually (unless he absolutely needs ninja tabi or mercs to survive the lane)

Then he can basically get 90% of his cs with Q and just build hella tanky, while still dealing enough dmg in teamfights.

In Teamfights, just slap *****es with your q and wither their carry if possible

 

[Faithkeeper]

Yeah they had vayne solo top and vayne won lane.

 

[Pikaville]

So is the unholy grail really good yeah?

 

[Espy Rose]

Those games were you get two leavers and a feeder.
Why.

 

[Niko45]

are there any specific items to build against shen top that are very effective? is MR/hexdrinker good?
