[League of Legends] Where the only acceptable skins are coprorate skins
I felt like Mundo + Malph was such a strong toughness + harassment bottom lane, too. I was sad that they did so poorly. Granted, any Shen lane is pretty strong as well.

Didn't catch the beginning, but yea a Mundo/Malph lane should destroy their lane. Cleavers and Qs would suck against anyone, Shen included. Well unless it was something like Shen/Janna.
So I've been playing for a week or two now and I think I'm getting ok. I've found I really enjoy playing tanks with Malphite and Amumu being my faves. I really feel like I can turn the tide of a fight or even a whole game when I'm playing well with these guys. (Cheast Pounding: went 11/5/20, 6/7/16 in my last two malph wins and 9/2/8 in a loss.)
Quick question however; at the moment I'm starting Malphite (in a lane with lots of harass using q) with a mana crystal for more q'ing and a health pot so I can quickly build straight into a frozen heart or banshees depending on enemy composition.
It seems to be woking at this level, but I don't have the runes or IP to get runes to jungle effectively which worries me because soon I think that my inability to jungle effectively will gimp my teammates by denying one a solo lane when I level up. How does one start to learn how to jungle before they have the survivability runes provide?

At our level it usually doesn't matter , don't even worry about runes till lvl 20 when you can get the good ones. As for practice just make a custom game and watch videos online. Cant give you any specific maplhite advice as I haven't played him.
Malphite really needed to get picked less. Your silences on the Yi were well applied in the bit that I watched. Also don't think it was your job to be on the ball about dragon, particularly since you guys had a WW. Of course, the one time you could have done dragon Malphite got picked so...
I really like Malph, myself. He's such a good combination of toughness and damage, and he scales really well.

He means picked as in"picked off". The player was constantly dying from ambushes , no one has a problem with him being picked as a character.

Yeah I've done a bit of custom practicing, but I think my problem will be gnking enough with the right timing. I try to do that now while laning, but not nearly as often or with effective timing as the guides seem to suggest you need to.
I also find myself with such little life after taking down the jungle creeps that I have to back instead of being helpful

I wish there was a division in LoL for normal people and for shit heels. They could determine which mode you got to play in through a serious of questions when you sign up.
Carrying as vlad is too much fun, but I just learned how Morde hard counters vlad. I mean vlad can't even really hurt him, he just pushes the lane all day and runs around like a jackass with full shields.

Actually I find that as Mordekaiser Vlad is one of my tougher matchups. I need to harass the crap out of him early and get ahead of him in farm and levels before he hits lvl 9 or i'm pretty much screwed. Alternatively I can just be the biggest of dicks, super push the lane, get tons of farm and come back a few minutes into the game with a warmogs and literally not gives two fucks about vlad.
This is purely in a 1v1 lane of course. The problem with super pushing is that I open myself up to easy ganks which will give vlad the edge over me. But if I can pull it off I can ruin Vlads day.
In a war of attrition though he'll win out which is why I have to resort to very aggressive tactics.

Right?
He's gotten super strong with his turrets of doom and super long-ranged attacks.
Every time someone plays him in a game I'm in, he mid lanes and just owns it with turrets, ending up well ahead of just about everyone else in the game in terms of level and gold.
Then he just wrecks everything before the other team can properly catch up.

Yeah I killed him, and then the guy who came to cover the lane once I was 10 but up until then I was getting hard raped. Buying boots and a blasting wand helped a lot.

I love going up against Heimer as Tristana because it's not too long before she outranges his turrets and they become free gold. She also has really strong counter-pushing abilities if you level E and Q.

Yeah heimer really is kind of useless right now, I mean if you get killed by immobile turrets or the slowest moving attack in the game you just got outplayed.

The best heimers I've seen right now don't even bother with turrets, they level the rockets baby.

Yeah, the guy that wasn't an employee even though he was, who didn't initiate a ban even though there were screenshots of him doing exactly that and he said so himself.

Yeah for the ARAM matches I've been doing it's all about the rockets. I think a good way to make use of his turrets in the early game would be to ward your bush against ganks. That way you don't push your lane out really quickly like some Heimers do.
i hate when your team can't end a game and you have no choice except to watch their already-snowballing akali snowball even further and proceed to 1v5 your team all by herself
Heimer is still pretty bloody great. Just played 3 games with him and won every one, all because of his slow pushing and his ability to poke people under towers. A well placed grenade and flash also made it really hard for anyone to gank me in the laning phase.

Well maybe Riot was right. "So apparently one of our employees slurred one of our customers on a livestream? He's not one of our employees effective immediately."

I really am dissapointed with watching anyone who isn't Tree or Roku, Hotshot is good but whines constantly and trolls sometimes. Reginald is a raging douchebag, I don't even think I like him as a person just from the way he acts on stream. Grackis is a little better than Reginald but still a fat, racist trolling bastard.
Bob tends to be totally oblivious of the rest of the map. Sometimes I wonder if his music is distracting him.
Bob has his ups and downs, and may not be in the top-tier of ranked players, but I always enjoy watching him... he explains things, he's not a dickbag, and his accent rocks.
Edit: Y'know, I really like playing Tristana, and I think I play her decently, but I have literally lost every single game I play her as.
In the latest game, I laned bot against Urgot and Cho, with an Ashe who basically disappeared half the time. Dunno if she was AFKing or just dicking around, but it was awful.
The 2 things that made it more awful was that 1) my team refused to surrender, and 2) their Cho was such a fucking pussy that he'd run away anytime he started taking damage, leaving his teammates to die in our base which meant we turtled for close to 50 minutes.
I have like a 60% W/L rate with Tristana in ranked but most of that is just carrying games at low Elo. I'm scared to play her in my 1500s games because she's team dependent and prone to getting focused pretty hard. Maybe I could still win above 55% with her though.

LocoDoco has his ups and downs and his mic sucks but he provides really good commentary sometimes.
Yeah I saw Loco last night, turned it off when Reginald was in vent with him. Loco is a good player and I didn't hear him troll or whine at all.
