    Never seen a Kogmaw with Revive. Not even once. There are much better spells for him.

    Every single time. Every time.

    I normally would totally agree that it's a terrible spell, but it seems to suit Kog'Maw just fine. 100% more use of his passive (which is good for the early game) and insurance that he's always fucking there for the team fight. It's so Goddamn annoying.

    Typically coupled with Flash or Ghost.

    SoaL's advice is best advice.


    Personally, I find Yi very difficult to use. Dodging projectiles with Alpha Strike is pretty key, and I can't seem to get that part down. And, well, i'm not personally a big fan of auto-attackers in general.

    Hmmm.....for Udyr I see a tank build and dps build, and it seems like DPS dies alot more and tank does sufficient damage on it's own. I only ask since I need to know which set of runes to get and I need to calculate how much that will actually total.

    Something like this guys idea with the mixed item build he has. It -seems- to make sense.

    A good litmus test for Udyr builds: check if they put more than 3 levels in tiger stance. If they do, it's a bad build.

    that is a very good item build on him

    except i'd prioritize bear over tiger, due to the cooldowns you will only have time to switch between 3 stances so you'd never really enter tiger... i'd rather have a cheaper bear stance and faster run speed on it

    Has anybody been having the problem of being put into a chat that nobody else ever enters? After the last 3 or 4 games this has been happening.

    But on to my latest adventure in soloq.

    3 games in a row now my team has been out solo pushing lanes late game and getting ganked and then us getting pushed back and losing 1 or 2 inhibs. Then they start going where I ping and ganking the other teams 1 or 2 seperate champs and we kill 4 or ace them and we take out their mid inhib. Then my team usually tries to throw themselves at the wave of respawning enemies. 1 or 2 usually dies here so we have to hold off 2 lanes of superminions with 4 champs...then they respawn and we ace them again and then I tank the 2 nexus turrets and it's gg.

    Taric is so fun with pubbies who listen to you.

    Both times the other team has been requesting we surrender cause we will never win. The best was when one asked us to surrender so they could eat dinner. Instead of gg one of my team said "cold dinner : (".

    Was awesome...I love it when soloq works out for the better...this day makes all other days of solo queuing worth while.

    inb4 cool story bro

    EDIT: What do I do about the chat that nobody else goes into? I messaged one of my team and they said they were in a chat with everyone else, but I never joined.

    EDIT2: Cool story bro.

    Ok so lets talk about Sona for a minute.

    Is she on the test realm? Has anyone tried her? I'm big on non-healing support roles. I love playing support Janna. Zilean is a favorite of mine too. So I'm looking forward to the bard for sure.

    I'm wondering if a super aura build on her would work. By this I mean, taking items which have an aura effect on them to stack with her character abilities. The Soul Shroud would be an option. Stark's Fervor is another. Maybe a Frozen Heart. In all likelihood, this would probably be a terrible build. But I'm curious if anyone has tried it.

    I feel bad. I really, really don't want to play with this guy on my buddy list anymore. He just screams about how the rest of the team is 'noob' when he's like 7 and 20 (as yi) or 4 and 18 (as Xin). Blames his retard moves on everyone else.

    But he keeps asking to play, so...

    And if we want, let's talk about handling a Vladimir in mid. Mostly because the guy boasted about how he was gonna beat up my Tristana with him, only for him to die three times in the laning phase (Once to me solo, twice to me and a gank happy Rammus).

    So far, all I did in that game was gimp his healing over and over and over with explosive while taking potshots at him and repositioning with W, which seemed to work fine for the most part. Just, doing this would end up with me running out of mana really fucking fast while Vladimir doesn't have mana. And besides, once Vladimir got his Q to lvl5, I just couldn't harrass him anymore, end of story.

    Anything else I could have done, or this was the best you can hope for against Vlad?

    It is. I went Wriggles, Manamune, Zerkers, Last Whisper, Infinity, and I'm happy with the first three in the build. Manamune really lets me spam my abilities, and boy howdy let me tell you about a champ that can spam.

    with LW and Inf, I'm tempted go ghostblade instead. I get some crit, some penetration (on top of my red ArPen runes), and the super attack speed bonus of the activated ability for a cost in between those two, which is more realistic for a normal game to afford.

    So, I've been messing around on Tristana a good amount and been having a decent time, but I feel like I should branch out. However, I'm very new to the game so I'm wary about trying someone new, especially when it comes to items.

    Anyone want to throw me a general item/skill build for one of the currently free heroes?

    By the way you refer to him as "this guy on my buddy list", I assume he's not an actual personal friend of yours. If so, the solution is really really simple - just delete the clown.

    Sona has a Taric style heal, in case you didn't notice.

    He's Vlad. If you didn't die and didn't lose your tower, that's probably the best you can hope for.
