LoL (League of Legends) thread *UPDATED 12/10/2009*

Yes I just got 400+ ip from a single game :smiley:

I want my free IP boost.

Moakai looks nice and solid but I think he’s going to be very underpowered the more people learn how to fight against him.

It’s nice they fixed Amumu up a bit, I’m starting to see more people play him again. He’s still not very threatening without blue but hey! He’s better than what he was.

For all the freezahar’s coming out this week. You aim where they are going not where they are at. A little skill in those shots goes a long way in not pissing me off with bad ability placement and while I’m preemptively bitching CS a little you bastards.

I have no clue why people play new champions and decide to push the lane way the fark up when the other team has a jungle. Yes Malz can clear minion waves really fast and push people back to their turrets that doesn’t mean you need too. You aren’t denying anything with your good 3 CS and low mana pool! STOP IT. STOP IT, STOP IT!

yeah i just got 433 for my first win of the day game

shit is gdlk

i didnt know the boosts were this gdlk. might have to buy one now.

My thoughts on Maokai;

The pikmin are hilarious in the laning phase. They’re like zil bombs, if zil bombs ran around chasing people going ā€˜wheeee’ before they exploded. It makes me laugh every single time, seeing people with no boots scampering away in vain in an ā€˜oh shit’ reflex once the sapling you just tossed at them springs to life.

Don’t play maokai if you like having a high K/D ratio. Your assists will skyrocket because of your amazing w and your amazing ult, but you lack killing power damage.

His biggest flaw is his ridiculously low movespeed, so he can’t really give good chase to snare a straggler with his w, but it still manages to do some pretty amazing things sometimes. The unsung hero here, though, is really his ult. -20% damage to everybody in his ult? That’s a free chain mail and negatron cloak. That’s ridiculous. The trick with positioning his ult is to sort of lead your team with it. A team fight happens in mid! Your singed is hauling ass straight to their miss fortune! If you’re about to stomp them, drop the ult on the enemy team, because your team is gonna be all up in their shit in about half a second anyway. Are things about to go hideously wrong? Is that veigar fed beyond belief, and you are all about to be running away? Drop it right in front of the one or two people in the back (or straight on top of everybody ASAP if the other team has a buttfuckton of front loaded damage)

All in all, a pretty good support tank with one of the best defensive abilities in the game. I’d be glad to have one on my team.

You can build him ROA->stuff if you have a main tank, or you can just go straight into tanky stuff if you don’t. I usually end up building him like Galio (Chalice and AP items. I love chalice on maokai!)

The pikmin are really fun. I definetly feel the support tank that you mention. You feel more annoying than an actual threat.

I think the range on his root should be a little larger but he is fun to play

Maokai is a blast. I bought him because I see so many awful Maos in queue that I wanted to figure him out. I don’t regret the purchase.
He’s just a total beast in lane. You can’t pull the same crap you usually do in a lane against a Maokai unless you’re like…Mundo or Malphite. It’s great ^_^.

I’ve been playing New Ryze and I must admit he is super fun. My first 2 games I was like meh because I felt that his burst was lacking and I could not 1v1 easy kill like I used to.
However I stared build towards just mana and cdr and he deals high damage. I feel like freaking vlad when I lane when I just Q harras. It’s really fun when you run up to someone and go Q W Q and they are at half hp. His passive works wonders now.

I go QWQEQR

I rush a tear of the godess for mana regen and boots then get glacial shroud. From theire I build how I want.

Catalyst
complete boots
Bansee Viel
Finish Heart
Then I go whatever other mana items I feel like.

The max crd allows you to spam q for high amounts of burst damage in team fights. Mixed with your ult you do become that AP ashe riot was going for.

I am failing to see how Maokai is good at all. I mean I get he is fun I like him but he is either kinda crappy tank or kinda crappy AP user. He is sort of that weird 5th wheel role sort of support sort of tank for me. Not seeing much potential unless they change his AP ratios a little bit so you can go hybrid or damage.

I play lots of LoL, 3v3 exclusively. Mundo main.

Looking for good peeps, level 25, will play ranked at 30.

Summoner name: Mactown. Scrubs need not apply.

He’s utility. GREAT damage mitigation on 5 people with his ult, an awesome snare, a channel interruption/an AOE slow. I guess a better way to describe him would be support, to go great alongside an initiator like malphite.

EDIT: The best ā€˜tank’ to compare him to would be Singed.

When playing lobster chogath i sometimes get excited and want to eat things and then I die. Then our team will loose and its all my fault :frowning:

Been getting pretty good at silencing those treds enrage these days. Also everyone in their silly groups ready for the raping. Even though I die more its worth it if my team does well. My only problem is with my more offensive play style I tend to do silly things at the start of the game. Fun though. Also would you say the only time warmogs is worth getting if no one on the other team has madreds?

I also feel that when they have a decent mix or ad and ap Banshies and a Sunfire cape are best to give you the mix that you want. That and I’m a fan of early agis. I like cheap things

Almost anytime I play a tank sunfire is my very first item lol

5 warmogs

:mad:

Aegis, Frozen Heart, Atma’s impaler, Randuin’s Omen, are my favorite tank items.

warmogs/atmas sivir #1, REAL.

I would say if your playing a true tank Omen is the only item that makes it into very build i have. Caster heavy team obviously banshees/nature is a must

Xin is still a beast. Doran sheild for early win

dorans shield is the best dorans item hands down. I rarely go blade or ring they don’t offer enough security. When I go AD carry I go long sword and hp pots or if I am going mandreds I go cloth armor 5 pots and harass very strongly.

I find the irony in this statement hilarious.

Mundo main on 3s! The pinnacle of skill.

No offense meant, of course.
