The League of Legends Thread: Winter is...coming?

Man, I should’ve been using riven since she was released because she’s so fun. How do you guys usually build her?

Doran’s Blades if you back early (no more than 2), Brutalizer then Bloodthirster or straight BT depending on farm, GA/Last Whisper, then more BTs and a Maw.

Theoretical end game build would be Boots(tanky boots generally)/LW/GA/Maw/BT/BT. Your core is really BT/GA/LW, just like Renekton. From there you honestly can build whatever, but Maw and/or more BTs makes the most sense. Sometimes you might have to get Hexdrinker early, but I wouldn’t unless you have to.

Erm, my mistake, that’s for Anti-AD Heavy

Thanks for clearing that up

I think Riot needs more ways to communicate simple tips to players. Stuff like “do not queue for ranked if you know your computer is having issues” and “Sona is not an all in support like Leona.”

Alternating wins and losses today has been frustrating, I might need to stop playing ADC in Solo for a while. Too easy for games to get out of hand before I can truly start to affect them.

I think Riot should give more tips definitely, I hate it when I’m saying Mid, Ahri and then my teammates goes mid Gragas >_>.

Well there’s no real tips that are gonna make someone not be a dick. Some people are just gonna fight tooth and nail to play their one main champ, and that’s the end of it. Either someone dodges, they get their way, or the game will suck. I guess in the end I should find a team to play with for when things like that happens. Dodge, take the half hour break, and come back with a team or not at all.

I play my first match for this tomorrow.

What are top tier 1v1 champs? I’ve only played 1v1 one time and it was against a Soraka and I picked Olaf, almost lost. I think it’s because he was a better player but I had the better matchup, he was 1650 ELO…

DarkMage724 · 2012-09-16T13:44:17.000Z

Sorakas pretty good for 1v1…wish I could enter that tournament ;( Good luck though brah.

Jax.
Counter-Strike pretty much makes the 1v1 free for you to win always.

Jax is like, insta-banned in 1v1 though.

Each player gets 4 bans and then it’s blind pick.

Shinkuu_Tatsumaki · 2012-09-16T19:53:00.000Z

When you guys get FP in rank, do you ban champs that counter yours or do you just ban the general “OP” champs?

I been getting tired of people sucking ap mid so whenever I get FP I’ve started to ban champs that counter mine.

Tweleve · 2012-09-16T20:06:48.000Z

I make sure Shen is banned, other than that it’s up to my mood for that day

Can’t really go wrong with banning Blitz/Ali/Morg/Diana

SadQuotes · 2012-09-16T20:41:25.000Z

Definitely, When Shen is not banned, it’s a race who picks Shen first.
Usually when I’m Blue Team Captain, I ALWAYS pick Shen if they don’t ban him.

So mirror matches are possible then? LOL 1v1, dunno why you’d even bother in this game.

Because Curse wants to throw money at people for playing it.

Tweleve · 2012-09-16T22:06:29.000Z

1v1 is fun

It’s good for learning specific matchups too, particularly for top and mid laners

Tweleve · 2012-09-16T23:21:05.000Z

Jungle Jax just feels so…dirty

Love the Nemesis skin, 3rd hits look like they hurt real bad

That screenshot is invalid just due to Kayle and Fiddle’s summoners.

Well I will say it was pretty much fiddles fault, top was 2v1 so I just ganked for Trynd right after blue and it kinda went downhill for them from there

FrostyAU · 2012-09-17T03:17:59.000Z

Kayle hardly even uses mana… like the only thing that’s mana intensive is the heal and you should never actually use that to heal health, it’s just a sprint.
