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

400g to get yelled at by an Eve in spanish. Always worth it.

Lux is really hard, but so fun. Bought her and her spellthief skin (cause it’s one of my absolute favorites) and have slowly been learning how to use skillshots.

:mad:

Out of the new mages, Lux is pretty good.
LeBlanc is just below her.
Casseopeia is easily the worst of the three.

Casseopia is just too squish for what little escape or CC she has.
And having a dodgeable ult is just a slap in the face.

I just played a game with my friends using team mobility.
Shen
Pantheon
Twisted Fate
Kassadin
Rammus

Its a pretty fucking gay comp. You let Rammus or Kassadin push out too far while showing Shen/TF/Panth across the map.
(They are really hard to gank)
Then when they think they have a decent gank and commit to it, you just port everyone in and counter gank.
Its really fucking gay.

After that you can just port to places they arent easily pushing down lanes unopposed.
Easy wins.

Our team comp is somewhat similar to that. We run Pant,Shen, Ashe/Annie, Jungle Eve and whoever our random 5th is. Pretty self sustaining team nothing like wasting 3 ults to gank 1 person just because you can.

played against a Lux yesterday that was harder to kill than the tanks and always died last. Was very annoying, but sadly i dotn remember the build.

Also, gave my shot at solo ranked queue and im 3-8… in 10 of those games there was always 1 afk, 1 leaver, an intentional feeder, and in some cases 2 of the above. I just dont understand people’s mentality when in ranked they just go afk and dont come back and others excuses like “im not playing my main” or in back-to-back games people had “mouse” problems. I see why its called ELO hell now because im trapped at under 1k forever now D:

side note: FML

im on adderall
play LoL or music?
hmmmmmm

lux = swain > leblanc > cass imo

why don’t we just call all 4 of them garbage and call it a day.

because lux and swain are actually good, leblanc is decent and cass is garbage?

dark horse champions =/= garbage.

when i say garbage i mean if i am playing anivia or morgana against an equally skilled foe in mid and they are one of those 4 heroes they can not do anything to me. Not only do they not threaten me I will be able to easily abuse them and keep them under farmed. So yes in a superior players hand ANY hero is good. I am not a it has to go to the tier list guy either I am fine if our teams ap character is swain as long as he knows how to play. My only reason of posting that is you guys trying to rank BAD casters over BAD casters who cares.

uh what kind of comparison is that? dont see how that makes them garbage.

yeah, only lux does just fine in a solo lane as far as farming/controlling goes, and swain can do just fine too if you don’t harass him too much early game…

which you really can’t do all that well with either of your champions of choice. by the time you’re both 6, his lazerbird will eat through your black shield and then he’ll snare you and shit on you.

don’t underestimate swain, his farming potential is crazy good with his passive.

lol maybe you can show me what a great swain is then because I have never seen one. And to answer Shawn that comparison is simply saying they don’t match up with the better casters. I never anywhere said they don’t have a place in the game they are just clearly out shined by others so there is no point in arguing which is better between those 4. By hearing how swain beats morgana by lazerbirding her black shield i question the morganas you are in fact facing. I was trying to stop these arguments not carry on a new one since that is all you guys seem to do. Maybe we can get some 5v5 normals going and get everyone up to speed. The reason swain can’t beat anivia or morg or annie or … is because he doesn’t have the range for it and if he over extends he is inviting death. Morg soil annie q and anivia ult will take out his creeps to fast and if you are referring to his ult farming that puts him in danger of ganks and getting caught.

just my advice and opinions nothing to take to seriously if you want to play hit me up in game GN: BabyGrenades.

Swain cant beat Morgana.

I beat morgana with penis missiles

Cassiopea is going to be underwhelming because nobody has gotten good with her yet. She’s got a pretty high skill ceiling according to the guy that designed her.

Swain just has really bad synergy with his ult. Both his build and his skills take very little advantage of it’s potential.

They really need to do something about his ult imo. Its just really lackluster.

Hoppin’ on for a game or two I think, if you wannna play with my scrubby self RETS GOOO

Of course there is going to be a good amount of bias in that statement.

I don’t think she is hard to play, just that currently she is hindered by things that keep her inefficient. Her autoattack animation is pretty bad, not Morgana-bad but bad enough that it makes Lich Bane/Sheen + Twin Fang loops not as strong as they should be.

Her Noxious Blast needs to be reworked to be like Toxic Shot and inflict more damage upfront when it hits, in it’s current state most people shrug it off despite the high damage it actually does. If you can’t convince people to run away from you, they’re likely to burst you down before you can burst them down.

So apparently the new champion (caitlyn)'s abilities include throwing a mine. However, not only does her reveal the enemy, it also snares them. Kind of funny I was hoping that Nidalee should have a slow/snare on the mine, but people said it was too powerful, only to have this new character have a better ability.

Nidalee and Teemo just went even further down in usefulness :(.

Sounds like Ms Fortune, only you have to be a bit more skilled. The 90 Caliber Net, seems more useful, running away from enemies, than chasing enemies.
