    in order for AP yi to be effective two things are necessary:

    really dumb enemies
    enemies that have no CC at all

    AP Yi can definitely be effective, to the point where I'm not even sure if I'd call it a gimmick.

    It's certainly difficult to pull off well though.

    Wow, I love these Kat buffs. I hope they weren't too much; she feels pretty ballin'.

    Still can't win a game with her, though. :P Last one I went 12 and 4 just just couldn't quite make up for our 0 and 19 Soraka who was 'playing LoL for the first time on a friend's computer' and bought a DFG as their first item.

    I think I can believe a level 30 letting their friend play for the first time. But put that shit on a smurph. Let them play against other people that are "new" to the game rather than against all 30's.

    If you're showing your friend the game, chances are you want them to play after showing it to them. You're not going to accomplish that by letting them get their ass kicked against a bunch of 30's.

    Tried Kassadin for the first time, did ok, but I had no idea what items to buy for him or what spells are good with him. Ghost for chasing?

    Also, is it possible to deal damage with Janna? No matter what I build, I always go 1-1-27 with her. I want to snowball too damnit!

    You can become the best chaser in the game by focusing her W and E early and using Q for the knock up only basically.

    Then you auto attack, snare, shield auto attack for fat deeps, knock em up, snare more, attack more, deeps more.

    edit: for janna obviously.

    For Kassadin I build Haunted Guise, Sorc Boots, Abyssal Scepter, Pray your carry built a lot of MR.

    Tanky/AP is how warwick should be played anyway.

    I'm having the opposite. My Casseopeia Scores are usually in the realms of 1/4/15+ My Q is hitting like crazy but since it's a slow all my kills are getting sniped. S'ok though because we are winning these games :)

    I think out of the 8 cass games I've played I've won 6 of them.

    Tanky/AP is how warwick should be played anyway.

    building warwick AP is actively defeating the most effective part of Hungering Strike.

    HS hits EITHER for: 20% of maximum health at rank 5, OR flat + AP. Both of these are lowered by MR.

    There's a reason Bloodrazor is still the go-to item on him. Grab that and magic penetration to increase your Warwick output, not AP. The first 150 or so AP will be completely wasted by endgame because of health totals, and the more maximum HP your enemies have, the more you're wasting of your AP. If you're splitting between tank/AP, you're not going to get the 500 or so AP necessary to even start to make his hungering strikes hurt much more on squishies.

    I've seen a lot of Warwick players not go Bloodrazor at all anymore and just get Wriggle's, then straight tank items. DanDinh was streaming today and I believe his build was something like Wriggle, Merc Treads, Spirit Visage, Randuin's Omen.

    Was he getting kills? Seems to me that if you want to get kills with Warwick, you need Madreds. Or something to deal damage. Otherwise you're a standard tank and you don't die and get a lot of assists.

    Nah not too much I think he got a tanky type of score, maybe like 3-2-bunchofassists. Although if you time WW's Q well you can kill steal people like a pro.

    And yes his team did win.

    Oh and I should mention that he wasn't just building tanky because they didn't have another tank or anything like that. They had Shen and Singed.

    Most of my kills with Amumu come as "steals" from despair getting the last hit. Some guy literally raged at me in a solo queue game.

    I think next time i play her I'm going to focus on her Q more. The ratio on it is absurd. It's literally something like .85 or maybe even .9

    The ratio on her E is pretty bad though despite being able to spam it.

    Yeah the games I've seen her in she just seems very underwhelming. She seems to have a pretty good early laning presence with her poison/twin fang combo. She seems like the new Urgot.

    Is she fun to play? She doesn't really look it.

    I think her AOE slow/poison needs to be a bit bigger. It seems so small that people can easily avoid it. Her ultimate cone just doesn't seem large enough to really have that much of an effect in team fights. It seems pretty good for ganking, though.

    Nah her Q is the one that works kinda like Karthus' Lay Waste. It's on a short cooldown (3 seconds I think) Her W is the purple goo (miasma) which is a stronger poison but her to hit with. It's great for pushing a lane or defending though and it has a nice slow on it.

    Okay - this is the new Kat build for sure:

    Vamp Scepter (just to keep you in the lane)
    Build Cutlass
    Boots 1
    Build Gunblade
    Boots 2
    Build Rageblade
    Build Rylai's
    Build GA & other survivability stuff

    Man it's so awesome.

    I don't like a Vamp Scepter first item on pretty much anyone because it forces you to push the lane to have any value, basically.

    Guys, stop pushing out your lanes. There are a few specific champions and a few specific in-game situations where it's good to do so, but in general the rule of thumb is don't.

    Also if I'm in a duo lane with you and you insist on autoing/nuking the creeps to push out the lane I will hate you forever

    Doran's Shield seems so much better if you need to keep in your lane. The regen should be just as good as Vampiric Scepter, unless of course you're pushing with Scepter.

    Even just last hitting with it should keep you in the lane (was working for me). You could start with Doran's Shield instead, but you'll be setting back your Cutlass & Gunblade, which you want ASAP.

    Rylai's seems pretty key on Cass. Good luck running from her with how much she can spam her abilities. The spam also makes tear/archangel's a great buy, but getting Rylai's first seems more necessary since she's definitely a sustained DPS hero. Can't really do too much if they run away before you can steadily burn them down.

    She seems great in teamfights though with that kind of DPS.

    And yeah, her Q has an AMAZING AP ratio. The rest of her ratios are pretty crap though D:

    ?

    Kat is very difficult to counter harass after level 3 because of her KI+Shunpo combo. She hammers you with Shunpo, you hit her back for reduced damage because of KI, she throws a BB in your face and maybe an auto or two.

    I'm finding it really hard to believe that people are as fucking stupid in League as they really are. I played a bomb as tank Singed, basically unkillable unless the whole other team all jumped me and even then I almost lived. All I need from my team is to beat the fuck out of the other teams squishes while I fuck with the tanks and poison the squishes. Is that so much to ask for? Can't believe I lost that game

    Next game was a Blitztank, I was wrecking the other team, they were all AP except for Amumu who was the only tank. They couldn't touch me for the most part and again, all I needed from my team was them to wreck their DPS. Didn't fucking happen, I ran into the middle of the enemy team and proceeded to dish out some hurt while my team trudged into the fight and each went after a different target instead of doing some focus fire. Fucking awesome, bunch of fucking assholes.

    8 games in a row so far and I've only managed to win two. What a miserable night to play LoL. I have no idea what more I can do, did I miss something?

    You know, I'm wondering. Was stacking Sunfires really that bad that it required a nerf?

    Cause as an Amumu player, I liked getting 2 or 3 in certain games. Or if I was joking around and just having fun, I would get as many as I could and just run around like a jackass.

    This may be one of the bigger nerfs to surprise me because I don't recall anyone complaining about it at all.
