    I have never seen the trade function being used in any game ever.

    Not that we can communicate the need for a champion what with the chat not working 50% of the time.

    BLEH.

    Just played a game in which it was 3v5, advantage the opposing team. Game went exactly 60 minutes and we almost won. Had two inhibitors dead. Then we got greedy and they aced us. Could've been a win if not for that.

    Those guys ought to be ashamed of themselves. The 3 of us were Me (Janna), a Mordekaiser, and an Alistar. We had very little dps, but amazing staying power.

    man i just played the craziest game in which both me (miss fortune) and the enemy miss fortune got pentakills

    it was awesome

    exhaustless games are much more fun as a physical carry

    fuck exhaust

    it was also funny because when the enemy MF did it she went "PEMTA" and when i got mine i went "PEMMMMMMMMMTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

    the bad news is when i tried to paste the actual window in game it just came up black, and i was absolutely livid

    I was 1v2 in one game because we were down a man (we totally would've won it if it was 5v5). Most recent game I took mid, and we won it, so that was awesome.

    I'll try to grab a solo lane from now on. :)


    EDIT: The 1v2 was hilarious. Fortune & Taric, and there was just nothing they could do to unstick me from my tower. I had like 3K gold before I bought my boots.

    Just played a fantastic hour-long game. (1:00:41)

    Both teams played well, no leavers/disconnects, no trash talk (well.. on my team, apparently the enemy Cho and MF had an argument going on behind the scenes which spilled over into post-game chat :/), and the result was always in jeopardy until the very, very end.

    Wards, counter-wards (map control from both teams), intelligent ganks, intelligent recon (I basically just followed our Kog everywhere, he was using his living artillery to scope out the map as we'd move around).. it just felt right.

    I didn't have a spectacular personal game, finished 5/9/16 as Fiddles, maxed out at 11 stacks (well, that was right after I died in a team fight in which I'd accumulated stacks just prior to death, but still), was under-leveled and -farmed for most of the game but tried to help my team with my ult and CC. But I enjoyed the hell out of that game, and wouldn't have minded had we lost.

    You got it. True damage ignores armor / magic resist and does what it says.

    I actually like long games. I mean some long games are just bad, you can't escape them.. but if I'm enjoying myself, why would I want it to end?

    It's nice to have shorter games. It feels like most of my games push on to 45 minutes plus. :(

    How is 3v3? Do they end any faster?

    They just need to up the rewards the longer you play. Balance it so if people drag the game out it's the same as just playing X games and losing ASAP and throw in a bonus for winning quicker.

    Edit: 3v3 do end faster normally I think, but they're also worth less points. Not sure how they compare in the long run.

    I'm not saying I don't enjoy them at all (I can feel satisfaction in the deed while still finding it boring - and I don't find them all boring), but I personally prefer competitive games, win or lose. It's just more interesting to me.

    And like I said, if I'm having fun why wouldn't I want it to last as long as possible?

    Pants's block only stops an attack, not a spell, so yes.

    This is not 100% true, as a tangent... Pantheon's block can stop certain kinds of abilities, most notably Gangplank's Parrrley. I don't think it blocks Mundo's cleaver, so it's only some kinds of physical abilities, not all.

    That sounds right. I imagine it'll block Mystic Shot and Double-Up as well.

    Feast is an ability that takes away half of Udyr's health when he has 180 magic resist and turtle stance on. And then you get silenced so you can't run away or turtle up again.

    I think Chogath is one of the best counters to Udyr, next to maybe Kassadin.

    AP Cho is so fucking awesome. You have great burst damage output, and as long as you have your feast stack up, you have tanky HP. :D

    You will learn to hate Galio, though. You'll learn to hate him a lot.


    EDIT:

    I build Doran's ring, then boots, then go for Sheen, then Rylai's, then go up Zhonya's path. People here tell me I don't know shit about building, though, so take that with a grain of salt.
