IF he gets fed.

Never trust inconsistencies

Annie + Viegar is looking like the greatest combo ever. A friend of mine and I won a 3v5 using the two, and we haven’t lost with this combo yet. The extended AOE stuns own + burst damage is insane. It’s incredible.

So everyone check out how Capcom is gonna deal with rage quitters in MVC3? Anyone else think this would solve a majority of LoL’s soloqueue issues?

tl;dr = Rage quit too many times you get put with other rage quitters in your category without your knowledge until you straighten out.

I never really understand why people rage quit. Just keep playing for awhile while calling your team shitty the whole time. That is what I do and it works out fine. The rage-qutting in LoL that I have seen is when I call someone bad and they decide they’d rather leave instead of putting me on ignore or whatever else. When people call me bad, I just ignore them and continue playing. I am not sure why people decide to get buttmad and quit over it.

imo.

Swain is starting to impress me. His damage is kind of lacking, though.

Free Swain + free Nidalee week = auto-dodge when I see either of them.

imo.

gonna jump on right now for a few games. Hit me up if you wanna play.

P.S. I’m picking swain

Free Swain isn’t as bad as Freegot. Swain is really easy to get a hang of (lead with your W, push E first ALWAYS, profit. Seriously, the AoE of Nevermove is ridiculous), but Freegots will constantly fail.

Ignite scaling with Swan’s Torment is kind of amazing.

I basically see at least one feeder Swain in every game, either on my team or the other team. Urgot is decent now. I was pleasantly surprised. Xin is still super rape mode. The HotshotGG build is pretty ridiculous on him.

imo.

You mean this build right here? HotShotGG’s Build to Xin Zhao by cgwo :: Xin Zhao :: Champion Guide :: Leaguecraft

I find my biggest problem is harassing other champs when I main Xin. Usually…if it’s a ranged or a melee. I try to scare them off with my E if they get cute. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

I like swain lol. Fuck what ya heard. Got greedy and died once.

EDIT POST: build and shit.

My main idea with swain was to build him more tanky, not really prioritizing AP in my build. With this build I was able to out-survive my opponent(s) while at the same time I do damage, regain life from my ultimate. Because I had more life, I was able to stay in the fight longer and do more for the team (be more annoying). While at the same time landing nevermore traps and owning. I leveled up 2 of nevermore and Torment and one level of laser bird before my ultimate. Focusing on getting the boost in damage from Torment to make sure my lifegain as well as nevermore did work.

I started with a Doran’s shield and got a rylai’s as my first item. After that I got regular boots and a spirit visage. Continuing on to get an abyssal scepter and was going to finish my hourglass but the game ended.

With this build I was able to stay in team fights in crowform slowing enemies, snarring, doing constant damage and regaining a good amount of HP from my ult + abyssal scepter/spirit visage and sorc boots.

The hourglass would have just let me pop my ult and then hourglass in the middle of team fights after my shit was on CD. Not sure what I would have ended my build with. Maybe deathcap or even a sunfire to be a dick. FON? dunno. Just would have winged it.

One of the biggest problems I had (It really wasn’t that big tbh) was how much mana he uses especially when he has his ult up. Having golem was a godsend but I might even try to get a chalice my next game. I didn’t have the most mana due to staying mainly tanky, but it might have helped, there were a few times I was unable to help some teammates during the aftermath due to just being oom.

overall though I think swain played well is a very powerful champ and I do plan to play him more and buy him whenever I save up the money. It feels like karthus used to feel (still kinda does). Bad players will feed for days but good players will excell and really show how powerful he can be.

if you watch hotshot play xin zhao with that build he does basically nothing but last hit till level 6, at least he did in the few that I watched.

Still can’t get Trundle Jungle or Jungle Xin going like the guides say. Must be runes, fuck that… back to Kennen spam

my personal preference is dodge runes over flat armor. I prefer to completely negate the damage rather than just reduce it. With armor pen. I liked to start with wraiths and do that route rather than start with golem and lizard. Ive found that its a bit easier to do and you don’t risk getting ganked.

Although this is just my experience with jungle eve. Ive jungled with a couple others but only a couple times.

Swain has always been good to me. I just didn’t feel the need to mention that here since I just want him all to myself. Glad I picked him over MF. He’s way more useful imo.

That ww is fail and brings tears to my eyes.

If you have problems jungle definitely need yellow armor runes and 17 into defense. Should be sufficient to jungle with most champs.

i dont know why i constantly go against my word and give randoms mid… i even gave Swain solo top and then he left after 10 min.

Who wants to go play DotA or HoN?

yeah it was kinda brutal.

HoN makes me rage much harder than LoL does.

Basically you do nothing with Xin but last hit early on except for doing Q then E on them and W for harass then back to last hitting. Once you get SotD your ult is doing a ton of damage because ArPen and you attack super fast.

imo.
