Double IP weekend already taking its toll on the servers, can’t even get 1 game going.
Not a fan of Randuins? I think it’s an amazing item against phys. dps for tanks, especially Shen or Rammus. 25% CDR = more taunts, and the other stats are really beefy as well.
my personal build for amumu is Heart of odl -> boots -> banshee’s veil/aegis/randuins(all 3, in whatever order seems approprriate)->rilais. I’m not a fan of the sunfire cape builds, you need MR(banshee’s) and CD redux + AOE slow on randuins is way better.
edit: also I almost always jungle with amumu, he’s TERRIBLE in the lane and needs a babysitter.
well with the chalice and merc treads and defense tree I feel that your pretty set on MR. I like frozen heart better for the increased armor and 10% more cd reduction than randuins. I think that your overall damage output is way better with the sunfire biuld. Aegis is an item I usually get with nasus and a couple other tanks. For amumu it feels like the slot for aegis could used for another item.
It feels to me that when I play amumu needs the bolster in aoe with sunfire rather than the other items. Whenever you get another sunfire amumu just feels so much more powerful with each cape.
NVM, I can’t read.
I end up getting Randuin’s on a lot of casters just because Warden’s Mail is a great item for it’s price lol.
How do you guys play Janna? I’ve made it a point to play Janna whenever she’s not banned (which is happening a lot…), but I can’t do much with her besides be the aura bitch and play support/CC.
does chalice+merc treads+defense tree even get you into triple digit MR? I don’t feel comfortable with my defenses till they are both in the 170ish range. Of course your DPS with sunfires will be higher, but I find the slow from randuins will net the team more kills than any amount of extra damage from sunfires. Same thing with aegis, aegis gives a nice boost to overall survivability while also helping the team out way more than sunfire. Banshee’s veil ignoring one spell + mana/hp/MR is also really important. Also for randuins, it lets you build an early game HoG, which is a nice boost in money over the course of the game. I ran the sunfire build a lonnnnggg time ago, and i’ve just found it incredibly inferior to the build I run now.
well i also run exhaust for an extra slow. And with your ult you don’t really need another slow to catch people because I usually save it to either set up aoe own or catch people at the end. I dunno how high your MR is with that I’ll look next game i play but I know that I don’t have any problem with casters with the sunfire build that I go.
I’ve been messing with her a bit. She’s really a hard one to play, she can’t really harass safely but she rapes minion waves. I usually mid with her and really all I do is spam Howling Gale, she can’t really help with ganks from mid but she can definitely push a lane group way beyond their tower with Howling Gale which is what I do, provide “firing support” on champs/creep waves while my team knocks out a tower. For team fights its pretty much the same when my tank is about to initiate, I pop on the shield and HG the hell out of them. When 2 or 3 champs go down, and I see a lot of injured or close to death I pop monsoon and continue to push.
Basic stuff really. Clairvoyance is kinda fun with her cause when you catch people in brushes or jungle, your HG will go through the walls and knock them up.
Anyone have any builds on Akali?
Right now I’m doing hextech gunblade, merc treads/tabi, rylai’s, zhonya’s ring and rageblade
Played my first game as Amumu, and holy shit I love him.
Ult with Despair and Sunfire cape’s blew my mind.
if you’re going to play Amumu, jungle with him…Despair makes it a breeze to take golem at level 1 (or 2 if you want to throw off the enemy and take their wraiths or something)
Yeah IMO amumu’s not even worth playing if you don’t have the jungle. I tend to switch to other chars if someone else is gonna jungle.
GN: BabyGrenades
main: Morgana
Secondary: Malphite, Shaco, Akali
Also, stacking 5 Sunfire’s is hilarious.
well, 4 sunfire and a randuin :3
It was a really long game and I wasn’t sure what to buy, so I just shrugged and went ahead and bought Sunfire’s.
we had a team where all 5 of us were stacking sunfires, it was pretty funny. Other rnadom gimmicks I’ve tried. 5 smites 5 teleports, kill dragon at level 1 then TP to lane(Have TF on the team and buy a ward for EPIC 5 man back doors).
I love having all champs for free, I made a smurf and played retarded ass builds like AP Trynd/Twitch and AD Annie/Kassadin 
You should try AP Pirate. Epic stuff.
I’ve been messing around with akali and Vlad since everyone is free. Vlad is super awesome, he’s a monster in the laning phase, and a huge factor in team fights. Akali seems situational. She needs solid tanks or the opponents to have dumb/unsafe squishies. But if either of those things are true she can get super fed and super powerful(she EATS squishies even without feed).
