Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

you need 2 things
a quicksilver sash
and a guardian angel
defensive build, bloodthirster + pd as well
those 4 items would be core
save condemn to knock irelia away after her dash, hang back and keep separate from the team as much as possible to make fizz fishing you a waste (if he fishes you only hes wasting his time), shoot targets of opportunity rather than going in assassin style, save your roll defensively for your ult, etc etc
thats not a particularly brutal team, and if they were all diving you the guardian angel is especially handy because it lets you waste their time while your team can kill the guys diving into them
I was very skeptical of this new champ, based on word usage and imagery in the preview that he might be some type of headless horseman which was a wholy unappealing prospect for me.
Knowing that he might be a robo centuar though is awesome. I am now very excited at throwing 6300 ip away in reckless abandon for what the champ is.

I feel like Rumble would be a nightmare matchup for Nasus. Also, boots of mobility Nasus :?

What in the world has happened to Chaox here lately? He used to be the destroyer of worlds. I considered him to be the best AD carry in the game and I used to watch his stream a lot to get tips. Now though, it's like he's not even the same person.
One frustrating thing for me is how he's been playing Ashe so much here lately, and it just seems like the character doesn't fit him at all. I've seen him launch some horrible Arrows to initiate team fights and then it seems like he just doesn't do anything during the team fights. I suppose that's just the nature of Ashe (not as flashy as others), but something needs to change.
Also, as much as I like Dyrus, I miss TRM being on the team. He was a dang good top laner, maybe even better than Dyrus.
And of course, Regi yelling at everyone constantly doesn't help matters much.

Another option is Graves, since his Q is instant and doesnt get reduced damage for going through minions, again has a sterioid where Cait doesnt, and his smoke cloud will negate Caits range advantage. His R will also give him more burst.
I want TRM to get on another team and then I want that team to go up against TSM and kick their asses. But I like Dyrus so he and TRM would have to go even in lane and then TRM would have to stomp Regi every time he got a chance... yes.... this would bring me joy.
I'm really kind of curious what was going on with the other team in this game. Their Nasus missed 2 or 3 waves of creeps in the beginning doing who knows what and once he got back to the lane he tried to harass me with his AoE since he couldn't really go in to get his Qs. Eventually he disappeared again around the ten minute mark for a few minutes and came back later on with red buff, so I assume he was doing a little jungling on the side. The weirdest thing was that even though I killed him the first time he tried it, he continued to go all in against me at various points despite the fact that I had more gear and more health in some cases. I started roaming before their tower went down and that was just GG.
I've been playing a lot in the middle of the night recently and I think all the losing streaks I have when I do that have finally tanked my normal ELO to a point where people build mobility boots on Nasus.

This sort of thing is why support+ad bot is the meta.
Your ali/sona/janna/whoever should be keeping cait busy trying to maneuver, avoid harass, harass support, and last hitting, so that trist takes far less. It's never a one on one lane, so as long as the support's doing its job, that kind of advantage can't be fully capitalized on.
I don't know, I seem to be alone in thinking Trist's early game is shit (unless you actually build AP). Her range is pathetic, she's slow, low mana/high costs and even if you subject yourself to 2-3 AA's to get an E off you've still come out worse. I usually just keep my head down and farm until at least level 6 unless I've got a rampaging Alistar or something to partner with. I'd love to do better early on but I've never had any real success against an equally skilled opponent.
Even if the supports cancel each other out they both provide interference, through which an advantage like superior range cannot be fully capitalized on. The only way that advantage could be used to the fullest potential is if both your ad and support took commanding control over the lane. In that case, if either of the enemy comes into range, then the more powerful team would harass them out of lane immediately.
Most of the time, though that doesn't happen. Even if one team is winning the lane, there is usually still some competition for it.
I mean, you're right, trist has a bad early game and there's no getting around that. Just, bot lane dynamics are almost never, if ever, so defined, due to the fact that bot is the duo lane. In the case of tristana, your support's primary function is to mitigate as much of that early game disadvantage as possible.
Yeah, I didn't have that, just didn't think ahead enough to see how bad their diving was. Zerkers, BC, BT, Zeal was all I managed to get that game. Noct was super tanky, can't knock him away because of spell shield, no safe place from him due to ult. Noct fear would keep me in range of whoever else I condemned as well, so I almost always had both on me still. Rest of my team was Pants, Kass, Ali, J4, rest of their team was Ashe, Taric. I think my team was going after Fizz/their squishies but not getting them nearly as fast. (Also that Kass had one of the worst builds I've seen in awhile...started double Catalyst)
Apparently there's been a bug with Teemo's E that has been reducing his damage massively, and it's supposed to be fixed in this upcoming patch.
everything shall be shroomed
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
This is because when he gets sufficient attack speed the dot gets clipped to the point where its doing a fraction of its normal damage. AP teemo might not have enough AS to proc the bug.
Nobody rocks with ap teemo you aren't fooling anyone.

stuff like that is exactly why i don't like black cleaver on vayne
you're mostly going to be hitting high-armor targets, and may be increasingly forced to switch targets as you're pressured and zoned away from a fight, meaning you won't get your stacks up enough to benefit from it
LW is also cheaper

This applies to Yi and Tryn as well.
Too legit to quit
Really? I've had nothing but fantastic games against Garen. Your E should outrange his Decisive Strike, and you can get in an axe as he is coming towards you. If you can pop your W before you use E, you just sit there as he spins and put out a lot of damage. Q and E are usually up by the time his spin is as well.
That's what I've done the 2 or 3 times I've gone against a Garen, but they could have just been playing the matchup poorly.
I thought it was that he gets bonus magic damage on the attack itself, which synergises nicely with Malady and AS.
yeah...that's exactly what i said... the first tick of poison damage is more than the others
Grundlestiltskin and I are trying to organize a team. Delphi and Romantic Undead expressed interest, but not sure if they can commit. What I am saying is that I am down for team PA yordle to take the tourney.
Working as intended, apparently. Any sort of aura-ish ability that's already going when you get polymorphed will continue.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
I can only play ad kennen yordle wise(well I like playing rumble but the results are not good). the tournament is on saturday which I have a pass for, and sign ups are split between friday and saturday
CLG.eu just came back from being down 14 kills and having 3 separate DCs over the course of the game (including their support spilling soda on his keyboard) to win 20-19 against MYM

Aniva top, interesting.
Ahhh thanks I joined the stream late. Urgot and Warwick beatdown. Interesting to see how brutal urgot was that far into the game.
Acquire wins.
