The more and more I play, the more and more I love Singed. To bad like Nasus I really need the proper team to play him. Was fun having a massive come back victory and seeing people type out focus the damn Singed. Love slowing people right back into a Nunu’s Ult and flinging the ones that get out back in.
I love Singed too. Probably my favorite tank. I’ve been having weird issues where I swear to god they’re in range (like after I fucking flash up to them) and it won’t fling them… or it flings them sideways when I am clearly facing 90 degrees more to the side… (aka not to the side)
Yeah everynow & then Fling & moves like Rocket grab just won’t work. Speaking of Blits Banshee’s stoping everything about Rocket Grab is doumb, at least let it pull. I need to start grabbing Rylai’s on Singed instead of going for a second RoA right off the bat. People are far to stupid when it comes to chasing Singed Which is a bad idea in general.
Thinking about trying out a Spellvamp Nunu build when I get back home on the 17th
Bought Sion just because. Having a stun is amazing. Lane with Pantheon, wtf they gonna do? You get stunned for three seconds and you’re DEAD. Satisfying only when you’re the one doing it. That’s LOL for you.
He’s got some serious mana problems, tho.
Glad I’m not crazy. I always get fuckhead teammates like LOL NOOB HOW ABOUT YOU FLING THEM NEXT TIME U FUKING SUK
That’s kind of the point of Banshee’s though.
This just sounds silly. His W is plenty of life? Do you often get focused down before/during your ult or something? Whenever I’m in games with Nunus whenever he’s ulting people are either trying to stun him and/or run away, he rarely has hp issues. His issue to me seems to be damage (if it’s a situation where ult is not applicable). You Q and maybe E and auto attack a few times and then… yeah. You’re AP so your autoattacks aren’t really scary. I have only played him a few times though I find him very unamusing to play.
Sion’s dope. Don’t build him AP though IMO. At least not pure AP like everyone does. Yeah you nuke hard but it’s like… you are like a ghetto ryze. A few nukes, then your shit’s on cooldown and you’re useless. Pure AP also makes half his skills useless, including his ult. Ask kara about his Sion build, it’s filthy. Atma’s is the shit on Sion.
Yeah, Atma’s is obvious. Sion as an off-tank, all day. Warmogs, FON, Atmas + Boots is usually what I aim for.
Build him with two or three Gunblades and he has around 300 something HP which gives him decent burst damage and healing, Smite procs Spellvamp making Jungling a bit easier, allows him to Baron and Dragon even earlier, and his Ult If you can get it off deals even more insane damage than usual while bringing him up to full pretty much. It sounds like a hella ghetto build but it actually works.
Don’t get warmog’s, that item is stupid. Get frozen mallet - you sacrifice a little bit of life but you get an amazing bonus to go with it. There are better HP items out there IMO.
Oh nice, I forgot smite works with spell vamp. Interesting. Plenty of hella ghetto builds work though, to argue semantics. 90% of players don’t buy a single defensive items and it oftentimes works, which is not indicative of it being a legitimate build. Not that I’m saying yours isn’t. I am intrigued. Hahaha is the active unique? Cause that’d be funny to essentially ice ball 3 people.
Yeah you guys talked sense into me.
Not sure what to do for MR. Banshee’s is good. I still kinda like FON, but it is a little expensive.
Hmm.
Quicksilver sash is my personal favorite MR item. The MR itself isn’t staggeringly high (but sion in particular is not squishy so perhaps he can fly with it). Having an active cleanse that has a way shorter cooldown than the actual spell cleanse is just immensely awesome. Especially as a melee, I hate being snared. Spirit visage is really cheap and would be nice on Sion as cooldown reduction is always great and then I imagine the +heal% stuff would work with his ult and stuff I’d imagine! I’ve seen AP heavy sion’s use lich bane which is p smart too.
I can do the Gunblade active 3 separate times. Full build would be Merc Treads, Gunbladex2, Spirit Visage. I’d most likely grab the SV before the second Gunblade. Might also go for BV or QSS.
LOL, awesome. I have rarely if ever bought a gunblade. Been meaning to try it on Akali but I rarely get to play CC-less characters because most games I join are 2-4 people instantly locking in on a squishy carry with no real CC, just damage. It’s all good though because I can’t for the life of me remember to use offensive active abilities, except maybe Youmuu’s.
Yeah same here, for the longest time I totally kept forgetting to activate Raduins or Frozen Hearts actives.
The Malz, Karthus, and Lux ones stand out as favorites.
Cassiopeia sounds like a fun champion, yeah she’s all based around AOE With the exception of her E which is slightly worrtying but nothing seems like it will be totally broke, and her R not doing damage but being a timing dependant snare or stun sounds like timing with it is going to be important. Also the built in synergy she has with Singed due to poison sounds great.
Are Taric and possibly Pantheon better versions of Sion?
Having a stun is amazing, I think they’re all strong.
They both have great passives. Having a heal or a teleport is pretty amazing, too.
I don’t really know much about Taric and Sion, but Pantheon is pretty strong right now. Don’t listen to the people whining, HSS hurts like a bitch still, his Leap+Stun is devastating, and while Spear Shot isn’t as good as it used to be it’s still pain.
I’ve been convincing myself that Udyr is overpowered.
Any thoughts on optimal team construction? I think I understand the basics - you want some variety in your damage, you want some CC, and it’d be nice if you get a nice combo for your 2-man lane. Ideally you’d only have one character who relies on a blue buff.
I think the basic setup you want is:
2 Tanks - One each side lane, so preferably one that can solo lane for the most part - you can also substitute 1 tank for like a tanky fighter (Poppy)
1 Carry - Mid Lane
1 Support/Caster - with the non solo tank
1 Jungle - Jungles and moves towards ganking.
Though I’m not level 30 so I’ve never played Ranked and only erally play with a group of buddies.
Right. I think I get the theory. But what are the go-to characters for these roles?
I dunno. I’m level 29 now. Don’t really care about Ranked necessarily, but would love to pick up some useful characters, because winning is more fun than losing. In this game more than most.
Also: nyaaah nyaah nyaaaaaah
Updates:
Spirit Visage costs 300 more. My Warwick is sad.
Ward timer reduced. Sad.
Sunfire aura is now unique. "Stop it with the sunfires k?"
Flash no longer pops projectiles!? As somebody who doesn’t use Flash, neat.
Minion count only updates for visible champions?
No more global XP for dragon?
Healing on level up is proportional to current health?
Elixers nerfed?
Interesting stuff.
Looks like they nerfed everything that was popular, basically.
I, uh. I might be okay with that.
Oh, right - and BANNING LEAVERS. Hm.
