    I'm looking for a new hero to try, is there another all rounder hero like Nunu, in the sense that he can cover a good number of roles in a team.

    Udyr can fill either tank or DPS role.

    Lux is a support/caster hybrid.

    We were getting murdered by getting caught in Bindings and Gold Cards for awhile.

    Eventually Vlad started fucking around and sold all his items for what you see there and the pub got far enough in his build (ie past the Bloodrazor) that we got enough defenses to take advantage of their mistakes.

    Premade of four, copy whatever the last guy buys in the exact order, no skipping ahead.

    If you are particularly hardcore you can copy summoners also and disallow elixirs if you're really ahead in gold, but that is probably going a bit too far.

    Man I was so close to fucking losing it last match.

    Their Teemo never went past 1.5k health yet I was the only one as a tank who ever went for him, rest of the time he would sit in back and nuke everyone. Same with Veigar. Instead after I taunted their Kat out of ult they wailed on her, Trundle (who went tanky) and Shen whilst we just got whittled down.

    Meanwhile our Ryze never went past 1 kill, Ez ran away at the first sign of trouble and our jungle Udyr disconnected 2 times. Best part was as we saw the enemy going for baron, all expect out Kat went there because she had to farm up her bloodthirsters at bottom lane.

    All this yet in the post game screen I was berated for missing a single ult on Kat at her tower which apparently caused us to lose the game and she was going to report me.

    I think I need a lie down.

    Bad players always try to blame everyone else.

    I had a game where I went 7/8 on Amumu, and there were 3 feeders on my team like a 2/9 Shen and Trynd etc. But somehow it was all my fault and they were bitching in ALL that I was the worst Amumu ever.

    On the other hand, good scores are misleading and can be representative of coming in lane and cleaning up with a character who should be starting fights (or started fights in awful ways and got their squishier teammates killed).

    You guys that are saying people complain about you doing things badly when you don't feel it is your fault, should record your games. Go ahead and watch what you do to see if it was a mistake on your part.

    Probably isn't, but you may notice what you did wrong that caused them to think that. I've been watching a lot of my replays that people say I was playing bad and there have been times that I was. Usually it's because they're doing poorly themselves and want to blame me, the jungler, for not ganking enough. Can't really gank the lane when you're at half health, they are full, and you are pushing their lane...

    Played a ranked game earlier today with our captain first picking Alistar. Proceeded to punt full health Renekton into our not full health Teemo 3 times during laning leading to a dead Teemo.

    Mind you, I was going even mid with Sion and couldn't help them out much, but still bleh.

    Also forgot to mention I started 0-3 in that game and was laned with Yi who I let have most of the last hits knowing I could farm with laser later on.

    She's so fun because she requires skill to play but can do some awesome shit for your team.

I'm already looking at getting Swain and I hope to try Lux during a free week.

    I've tried google but if anyone has done it, it is shrouded in internet mists.

    She's cute
    Her voice pack is cute
    All of her abilities are skillshots or AoE, and feel more interactive and interesting to use than clickies
    She's a combo-heavy, high burst damage champion, as opposed to the opposite extreme of "right click and watch your champ gradually do damage"
    Giant lasers

    That's why people like her. As for why she's good?

    Strong laning phase and versatile enough to take any of the three lanes
    High long-range poke/harassment and strong kiting ability
    Good early to mid game ganker with her kiting ability, CC and long range burst damage
    Solid AoE damage in teamfights
    Good teamfight utility with two forms of multi-target crowd control and an AoE shield

    Sorry to Rent and Playeasy for abruptly bouncing. After a long day of vomiting and fever chills, I'm falling asleep at my keyboard. I can't pay attention to anything most of the time, anyway, and that's not helping much. I shouldn't have bothered playing that last game. I'm horse shit at LoL as it is. Zero excuses there. Somehow going 1-fucking-7 as Kennen is just shitting on the team and I'm pretty much tired of doing that today.

    (Also the new champs since I originally composed this list: Renekton, Karma, Maokai, Jarvan, Nocturne)

    Edit x2: I made a huge ass spreadsheet to track all the champs and help me determine who to buy and in what order when I started playing. However, the easy way to do this is to go to the champion section of League of Legends Wiki and sort by date released. Udyr was the first champion released after the game came out. All champions before him come in a bundle. All champions after him do not come in a bundle. Wish I knew that before making a spreadsheet. :P

    So Hacksaw and I just had a couple bad games, then we played a bot game, and we were up 70-20 last I checked, and he was doing 1500 damage. It was hilarious.

    I've also learned that the primary thing that makes this game unfun is flash. In one of those bad games, we were going to kill a Gangplank who was heading for purple side blue. One came from lower river, one was at blue and headed south at him, and I cam from upper river. Perfect three prong strike and he ignored all of us and flashed through the wall with a sliver of health. Now the entire team had flash and did that to us the whole time.

    When the enemy has flash a good idea is to attempt ganks that you know won't work out to see if they'll get scared and pop flash (or another summoner spell).

    It's pretty effective, actually. And then you can go for the real gank later when you know their escapes are down.

    Yeah, but like I said, all 5 had flash, wasn't worth wasting time to set up 5 fake ganks, especially since they'd each fall back and not push out until it was almost time for flash to be back up.

    I'm Shaco and I'm at purple blue, Malph wants a gank top I tell him I'm going bot(they are pressed at tower), shopping and coming up, but I also tell him I do not think we'd kill that kat without red.
    He's at like 70% health vs Kat solo lane. We get a kill and a blue pill at bot, I go to shop, Malph initiates on kat who kills him with ignite and shunpo's back to safety. My fault. I don't need a replay, thanks.

    It's worth the time to set one "fake" gank and follow on it immediately. Also, people are silly, sometimes they don't realize the trouble they are in and flash too late or too early. Flash is nice, but certainly not a get out of jail card in the lane.

    Seriously... This fucking game.

    So champ select our team is Maokai, Xin Zhao, Jax, Shaco, and me, Alistar. We get in game and Shaco is jungling with exhaust/ignite. Everyone goes side lanes... WTF who do we send mid?

    This is horrible team comp. Can't win this game.

    What do you do?

    You put on your fucking shades and say deal with it. Alistar goes up against Urgot mid and we win the fucking game. They only get one tower, which was the top 1v2 lane.

    That was so much fun. Our Jax started off 0/5/1. Ended 14/7/8.

    Ranged carries? Don't fucking need them.
