I finally got enough IP to buy Maokai, wasn't able to play him since he was free. And since I can't move my self to dig through the old thread, shed some light for me about the 3 doran ring build. I'm stumped on what comes after that, and I need help on cultivating my skillzz on Maokai.
ok, once again for the 1000th time!

3 Doran Ring, Merc Treads, Spirit Visage, Glacial Shroud and go from there. Sunfire helps a lot with hp and armor, Abyss Scep is great for magic resist and AP, banshee is good all-around. Jsut the basic stuff to counter enemies.
I REALLY need to get one of my maokai games on youtube so you people can see the power of the 3 rings. Varega knows the true power!
Some stupid Moakai in my game last night had clarity and ghost and he got mad when i said clarity isnt needed and his duo queue buddy Xin was all up in his bark defending him and it never ended until the chat screen after the game ended where they still kept going on and on. I was like $#@^@^#@, ALL IM SAYING IS CLARITY ISNT NEEDED. "WE GOT 2 KILLS CAUSE OF CLARITY YOU NOOB, IGNITE AND FLASH CANT DO THAT"

God, just noticed how bad my CS was. Oh well, I was to busy killing the enemy.
So I'm debating between Renekton, Trundle, and Nocturne.
I duo queue with my brother who mains Jarvan. I notice no one ever jungles on any team that I on. Was thinking if I grabbed a Jungler I could fill that need and my brother could help leash while I help setup a gank later. I like all 3 of these but...
Worried that Trundle may not quite cut the mustard without a good team or not good at low skill level play
Worried that Nocturne is kinda pointless to learn since if I want to play ranked later he'll just get banned
Worried that Renekton is a poopy jungler

What you guys think?
Trundle is considered one of the best Jungler's by Stonewall. I love him. He's fun and I've carried with him before, but you still do need a good team to win games.
Nocturne is a pub stomper. If you get fed and can play him well, you'll win games. He's a pretty decent jungler, but it's a shaky route.
Renekton is a great laner. He's quickly becoming one of the better champs to pick in ranked matches. I don't think he jungles well, if at all. I would not take him in the jungle.
You really cannot go wrong with any of them. Hell, I'd get all three.
So, on one hand, turns out I can Jungle Xin to great effect, but on the other hand, just suffered my 6th loss in a row, wiping out all my careful play of the last week and a half. I'm just about done at this point, since I can't play ranked by myself, and blind pick in normal just stomps me into the ground. Also, Brand does way too much single target damage as an AoE Champ.
But since your friend says he plays Jarvan, I wouldn't go any of those 3 you posted, now that I think about it. That's 2 melee DPS champs. Not really bad, but you have to also consider what your other teammates will be playing. I would actually recommend a tank or caster.
But then again, I would recommend above that having fun. If you think you'll have more fun with a melee DPS than anything, just ignore the first part.
The world is not always as civilized as people might think. There are still those who would follow the blackest paths of magic and become corrupted by the darker powers that flow through Runeterra. Shauna Vayne knows this fact well. As a young privileged girl in the heart of Demacia’s elite, her father tried to convince her of the constabulary's ever-vigilant eye. Young and naïve, she truly believed that her world was one of perfect safety… until one night, when a twisted witch took interest in her father. The malevolent woman overcame her father's conciliar guard, then tortured her family before murdering them. The young Shauna escaped only by hiding herself and then fleeing once the hag had departed, plagued by the screams of her loved ones as she ran. A burning hatred was born in her that day, one that could never be denied.
Vayne was able to take care of herself using her father’s money, and she began to train as soon as an instructor would have her as a student. By the time she was a fully grown woman, she had become a grim warrior. However, the fields of battle were not to be her home. Demacia needed a protector, one who hunted those lost to the darkness. Shauna used her family's contacts to become the first Night Hunter, and now her prowess is the stuff of legends. It is said that those who practice the black arts quake when they hear that the Night Hunter is on the prowl. Despite her crusade, Shauna has looked at the League of Legends in horror. There are champions who have clearly lost themselves to the blackest of magics, and who have been embraced within the League even though they should be put down for the safety of all. The time has come for the Night Hunter to execute her secret mission – to purge the League of Legends.
Not all shadows are to be feared. At least, if Vayne has her way.
Abilities:
Night Hunter (Passive): Vayne ruthlessly hunts evil-doers. She gains bonus Movement Speed when moving toward nearby enemy champions.
Tumble: Vayne tumbles, maneuvering to carefully place her next shot. She rolls toward the cursor and her next attack deals bonus damage.
Silver Bolts: Vayne tips her bolts with a rare metal, toxic to evil things. The third consecutive attack or ability against the same target deals a percentage of the target's maximum Health as bonus true damage. (Max damage vs. Monsters is capped)
Condemn: Vayne draws a heavy crossbow from her back, and fires a huge bolt at her target, dealing damage and knocking them back. If they collide with terrain, they are impaled, dealing bonus damage and stunning them.
Final Hour (Ultimate): Readying herself for an epic confrontation, Vayne gains increased Attack Damage, stealth during Tumble, and quadruple the bonus Movement Speed from Night Hunter.
I wish they'd stop making assassin's and release another tank. Yeah, people love playing carries and shit, but goddamn. You would think after Nocturne they would have given that shit a rest for a while.
So I just finished up probably the most insane match I've played so far.
155 deaths total, I guess that's what happens when you're playing with ZOMBIE KARTH.

A ranged Poppy with Shaco stealth, a ranged attack (passive bonus?) that deals % max of health true damage, and you can't run away from her. GG. Her ult sound kind of boring though.

Yes, the 3D build is the best. You start off as beefy AP carry that can harass and burst when needed and kill the people in your lane with ease and can gank with ease. Then you turn all your profit into super tank/off-tank and just whoop people.
If you ever get to lane with a Xin on your team, you will feel REALLY REALLY bad for the enemies.

Trundle vs Nocturne, what does Trundle bring that Nocturne doesnt? Teamfighting?
Never used Noc, but Trundle is a blast to play and messes up enemies.
To jungle him, you REALLY need the correct runes. I was jungling with him while buying runes, and it was tough until I got the FULL set. One rune difference changes a lot of things.
Biting people never gets old. His ganks are top notch if the enemies dont have much CC. Just put your pillar in the correct place. I like to run Frozen Mallet on him. Lets me stick to the squishy carries with ease and not die. Hes one of the junglers that if he has a good kill or 2 early, he just snowballs if you play it right.
Im at 6300 ip now and not sure who to get Not many champs interest me and Irelia is on sale so using my rp for her (i have like 4k saved up for rainy days)
I am pretty comfortable in making the assertion that stealth and true damage do not belong on the same character.
It depends on how long the stealth lasts. From the way it's worded, you only get the stealth during the actual tumble, so you basically are getting a stealth blink, which besides from juking, won't be that amazing.
I wish they'd stop making assassin's and release another tank. Yeah, people love playing carries and shit, but goddamn. You would think after Nocturne they would have given that shit a rest for a while.
But she does look pretty cool.
they haven't released a ranged ad carry since caitlyn and that was like six champs ago

her passive prevents bush and stealth ganks!
random thought: why are champions on high heels faster than those without?

I see they updated some of the more fugly character pictures.

They managed to make tryndamere's picture much worse though.
Oh jesus... that expression on his face.
Is he trying to hold in a dump?

No worse than Barbarian Tryndamere has always been. If that isn't a "derp" face, I don't know what is.

Trundle is more tanky DPS and has two abilities that debuff the enemy team. He is very useful at keeping your carries alive.
Nocturne is more of an assassin. He has high burst damage and can take out a lot of squishies in a matter of seconds.
But then again, I would recommend above that having fun. If you think you'll have more fun with a melee DPS than anything, just ignore the first part.
