    People seem to hate on Rush, but I think they are pretty fun to listen to.

    Why do people hate on Rush?

    Because they're terrible.

    So in LoL I've noticed there is often no tank on the team. How exactly does tanking work in LoL, for when I need take off my wizard hat?

    *hugs* Did your team just not want to surrender when it was clear that you'd lost or something?

    oh, we surrendered as soon as we hit 25m

    We did too.

    It was bad, really bad

    Supplies:

    A rock
    Maybe duct tape if you don't want to make a mess?

    :P

    a set of plastic bands

    combined with the knowledge of just where to tap gently and then where to put them in, I can open some of our windows

    Or you could get a hide-a-key like a normal person.

    a hide-a-key?

    also doing this then crawling in the window and then crawling through the dead-zone of the alarm is more fun


    Just google hide-a-key if you honestly don't know what they are. I'm pretty sure they make them even in backwater Europea.

    that is the stupidest item I have seen today.

    We call that a "rock" to "put key under" and it's not a very safe solution y'know

    There are a few tanking methods. The most traditional is for characters with a taunt to initiate and absorb the brunt of the damage/shutdown the opposing carry while your team wipes the floor with the rest of them. So, shen, rammus and galio fill that role.

    Then there are tanks that can absorb damage but don't have a method that forces you to target them, such as Cho'Gath, Mundo when he's built like a tank, and Mordekaiser fill this role. They are tempting targets on the front lines (before the teamfight truly starts) and often times you can bait the other team into initiating if they think they can take you down quickly. Again, the trick is to get the other team to choose to put their spells on cooldown in an effort to kill you, a big fatty, instead of your glass cannons.

    Then there are also strong CC tanks in the vein of Amumu. Well, basically just Amumu. He's in his own category of awesome. Probably the best intiation/ultimate combo in the game with bandage toss and Curse of the Sad Mummy. I suppose you could throw Malphite in here as well.

    That gargoyle dude looks interesting. Or the robot.

    Most of the full-on tanks aren't that interesting, though I'm already a fan of Taric and Vlad. <3

    Singed is an interesting tank concept. Much tankier than blitzcrank (the robot dude) but with a similar ability to forcefully throw your opponent in a bad position and keep him there with your gooooooooo.

    Right now he's my favorite tank to play, though I never do play tanks these days.

    I also carry around a MacGuyver kit, though mine's in my pocket notebook (next to $21 and a train schedule).

    Band-aids, paper clip, hairpin, safety pin, needle & thread, and a quarter; all in one of those tiny brown envelopes. Haven't had to use it for anything, but it's kind of nice knowing it's there. Along with the utili-key thing on my key chain I'm pretty well set for minor emergencies.

    Singed is pretty terrifying to deal with, yeah. I just absolutely hate how he looks. But man I've been ganked by him like mad before.

    How is Galio? He looks fascinating.
