I'm amused that they keep pushing back the time for the servers going down.

[Skye1013]

I haz a runez!


Wasn't sure which I should buy first, but it looks like most of the champs that I currently use, or would like to try out, pack Shielding (blue) and Resilience (yellow), with some variations on red/quints. So, I now have 6 Resilience, 6 Shielding, 4 Insight, 2 Swiftness. Plan to pick up the other 2 Insight as I obtain the rest of the IP, then fill in the rest of the slots as I open them up.

For anyone wondering, those are the suggested runes for the Warwick build I'm using (and replacing Swiftness with Resilience would cover me for the Amumu build I use.)

[Aubade]

You are definitely talking gibberish there.

In general I use the most.

Armor pen /Magic pen/Atk Damage reds.
flat armor / Health per level Yellows.
Magic Resist per level / AP / Flat Magic Resist / Attack Speed Blues

Health / Speed / Gold per 5 / Atk Damage / Armor Pen / AP Quints.

[Skye1013]

6 Resilience - flat armor yellow
6 Shielding - MR/lvl blue
5 Insight - MPen red
2 Swiftness - MS quint


Better?

[Aubade]

6 Resilience - flat armor yellow
6 Shielding - MR/lvl blue
5 Insight - MPen red
2 Swiftness - MS quint


Better?

Yessir, Those are all quality runes for pretty much any character.

If I may make a suggestion, once you get all of those, get Flat Armor penetration Reds, and Pure health Quintessences.

having 9x Armor pen and Magic Pen reds, 9x Flat armor Yellows, 9x Magic resist/level blues, 3x Health quints and 3x move speed quints will mean you have a pristine rune set for every single champion. Maybe not IDEAL for every champion, but definietely usable for every champ (Also; use the health quints over move speed unless you're playing a naturally tanky char.)

End of season 2 pretty soon. Any plans for Season 3 people? I'm planning on getting more competetive in S3 and going for early plat levels or upper gold levels.

I definitely want to hit gold this season. Highest I ever got was around 1450 but then I took a huge loss streak and sunk to 1150 before they reset the highest elo. I've been bouncing between 1100 and 1200 since -.- FML

However I have found a competent AD carry that's willing to duo queue with me. So hopefully the two of us can dominate bot lane seeing as I seem to be splitting my time equally between support and jungle. Can't carry a game, but I'll do my best to make sure someone can. Having said that I've been toying with Diana jungle, dominated a couple normals with her so far. The ranked game I played with her was mostly a 4v5 so we were pretty much doomed anyway.

[Skye1013]

Naturally... because I was having one of my better games (was 6/0 with Twitch) the servers go down mid-game.

Le sigh.



Oh... and I'm lvl 22 now! Yeah, I know, I'm slow... but stopped playing once MoP hit and only just now started back up (because WoW is boring me...)

[Skye1013]

So, I now officially have my first "report skye for unskilled" in chat because a dumbass Lux apparently doesn't realize that Soraka can't chain heal. I'm sorry one of my heals is on a 16s cd and the other is almost 2m... Not much I can do about it when ALL FOUR OF YOU ARE TAKING DAMAGE AT ONCE...

Hello LB!

[Skye1013]

So... did someone screw up the champion rotation?



Mine doesn't match the last one or the next one (or any of them posted here)

[Levantine]

Aw shite. Re-installing now. Hope I remember my summoner info right, dropped a bunch of cash getting my failsafe champs so I always had them.

[Lightbeard]

Thanks to Aubade for telling me about this thread

[Levantine]

Remembered the account with J4, Diana, Leona and Hecarim unlocked. Not the one I wanted but it'll do~~

[Bellanka]

Mm, Leona. The Wreckingball of the support lineup.

[Aubade]

Mm I do enjoy a good leona, although I feel they are not being played as much

[Arnock]

Leona is probably my best support, she just has so much freaking CC, and she's got innate tankiness from her W.

However, Chogath is also a surprisingly good support:

1. Innately high health from his ult
2. Innately high burst damage from his ult
3. Ranged AOE Knockup
4. Ranged AOE silence
5. Can sustain himself fairly well if the carry leaves the lane
6. Is a gentleman and a scholar.

Granted, this was all back in season 2, so YMMV.


In season 3, I've been playing jungle kayle almost exclusively. She's entirely too strong.

[Skye1013]

I'm debating putting some money into picking up Thresh, as he seems like a pretty fun tanky/support. Anyone have any play time with him?

[Skye1013]

Picked up Thresh and have found he is quite similar to Amumu. His Q allows him to pull himself towards the opponent OR you can choose not to hit it a second time and drag your opponent towards you a little ways. His Ult is a pretty good initiator/peeler.

All of his moves are pretty much skillshots, his W gives him any interrupt/small knockback (or forward) that also slows. It's not a huge movement, but I've found works pretty well at keeping enemy champs in range just long enough to get the kill (especially early on if they've pushed us back to our tower. Q them, drag them a little, hit Q again to pull yourself towards them, hit W pushing them towards the tower and if you're lvl 6, your Ult will likely finish them off if the tower hasn't already done so.)

In total, I like him. I haven't quite mastered his E to help get people in position or save them (usually because I'm either too late, or they're better at positioning than I am to begin with.)

Anywho, that's my take.

[Levantine]

Someone make a smurf and help me relearn how to play Leona and Shen. Okay? Okay.

Kiai112

(Lol jk Shen I can relearn by myself but Leona kinda needs a pocket ad who isn't retarded in order to pocket tank)

[Aubade]

I do need some serious practice in my AD games.


However, I've been jungling Jarvan and Xin. Mmmmm I'm in love =]

Way late to both their parties, but I'm glad I'm here now!

[Levantine]

Oh boy I hope Diana is still an okay pick. Fuckers making me go ap.

[Skye1013]

Just won a 4v5. A Jax insisted he was claiming mid and we were just going to let him, but then he left right at the beginning instead. So, with Jungle Mord, Mid Kassadin, Top Jarvan and Bot Thresh (me) we managed to pull it out. It probably wouldn't have worked as well if the Mord wasn't a pretty decent Jungler (he was all over the map) and the other team was apparently scared of us, but even with 4v5 team fights they couldn't win, and they weren't able to push the lanes. I think we only lost like 1 or 2 towers. Anywho, that was fun and really goes to show that teamwork wins games!

Opposing team: Leona (bot), Graves (bot), Morgana (mid), Nautilus (jung), Garen (top)

[Levantine]

Leona/Graves couldn't kill Thresh solo bot? Rly? I don't mean to poo poo your win, but nothing about that lane match-up wants to work in my brain.

Don't get me wrong, they killed me (I think I managed an even kill/death ratio in the end) but it apparently wasn't enough to win the game.

Edit: Just double checked, I was 5/6/12 that game. So not awesome, but considering it was 2v1 most of the time, I'd say not horrible.
