So having Alistar headbutt you into a wall, followed by a Vayne slam, followed by Nocturne is kinda rough. My fortify just killed two people at top though. Our jungle yorick isnt too hot though, being 3 levels below their lowest.
I notice that Doublelift, the most famous Blitzcrank player, rushes a Catalyst and then goes to Trinity Force. I imagine he prefers having a strong early game that going for Tear first wouldn't provide. Perhaps it is dependant on who you are matched up against. I play Blitz quite a lot and all I can really say for advice is that if you're up against a half decent opponent who anticipates a grab then don't bother trying to initiate with it, and instead wait until a fight starts and use it to grab those who start to run, or charge into an enemy and then grab when they're closer.
i've noticed that catalyst is used a lot in high level play. after a few nerfs, people stopped using it for awhile, now it is on everyone again for the regen/stats.
going catalyst, boots 1, tri-force would be just fine. you're then set up to grab banshee's. probably depends on how good/bad the enemies are.
Their cho is tearing us up, but our Leblanc urgot combo are great. Yorick says he loves me.
edit: I think we lose this one. Two dragons smite stolen from us and now Baron. It would be easy to blame Yorick but he actually played really well aside from that. Getting 3 shotted by a stealth Vayne is quite shit.
super edit: How does lolstatistics know about this game 2 minutes after it happened?!

He first picked Yorick. He was guilty of throwing the game in champ select.
And yes, multiple smite steals is definitely the jungle's fault. Once is understandable, but past that he should have been counterplaying, such as stunning the enemy jungle as the dragon / baron got low. Which he couldn't do, but see point one.

Before I forget. A while back a fellow PA'er hosted a LoL fanart competition. I probably missed who won and I'd have quite liked to see the entries if that is possible.
I was gonna come in here and brag about my games with Castle. Running leblanc 22-3 (and a prior game about as good, where we lost) while his Kayle became an unstoppable powerhouse.
Then you're just like, "Bitch please, I don't get creep waves, I farm champions." I can't wait for replays to be added to see that sweet mojo you do.
Those games were the most fun. Plus I finally got to see an amazing Amumu. Every time he appeared in my solo lane, we got a double kill.

Last night I ended up playing with who claimed to be Doubelift on a smurf account. I have no idea if it is true, but jesus christ the guy knew what he was doing.
I have given up on playing anything except support. Dealing damage, and killing things, those are completely unintuitive to me in team games. But I like to think I am doing pretty well at saving people who are dying.
Currently I think my best is Janna, followed by Soraka, but I'm trying to learn how to play Sona too. What can I do to be useful with her late game?
I play mostly support when I'm playing with my friends' pre-made. Those are all pretty much the best supports in the game, Taric is good to learn too. The best way to be useful late game with supports is wards. I seriously spend almost half my money on wards. Get a philo stone + HoG to help you get money and try to never last hit minions unless there is nobody else around to get it. I'll usually build into a Banshees or Frozen Heart depending on the enemy team, possibly a WotA or Starks if my team is heavy on one damage type. But but at least 1 ward every time you go back, usually 3 or 4. Learn good ward placements and just keep vision of the majority of the map for your team. You can counter-ward with an oracles as well if the other team is warding a lot, but in low-mid levels of play just a pink ward at baron and dragon is usually sufficient.

I should definitely spend more of my money on wards. But, what I more mean is that, with Janna and Soraka, I've felt like my skills are still impactful even into the late game. I keep people healed up, mana'd up, knocked up, and slowed down, etc. But with Sona, I'm having trouble figuring out how to, for one, use her ult, and two, build her so that her heal and/or slow are still good in the late game. It looks like her auras will be of negligible value past 30 minutes or so, is that incorrect?

Riot really really needs to ban more people. Just played with a feeder mundo on the other team who constantly blamed his teammate and has 161 leaves. There is absolutely no reason he should not be banned forever.
In better news, CAD was actually funny:

Ah, sorry didn't realize you were talking specifically about Sona. The thing about Sona's heal compared to Soraka's or Janna's shield is the cooldown. It might seem like you're not having as much impact with your heal as Soraka, but remember Sona's heal is coming out like 3 times in the time of one Soraka heal. Just keep spamming your abilities in team fights and it's a lot of healing over time. She also makes a huge impact in a fight if you can get your ult off on 2 or 3 people, especially their carries.

What an unreal week. There's a ridiculous number of trolls out lately.
Our Karthus and Veigar are chatting in champ select, continuing what appears to be a previous conversation while the timer ticks down and Veigar has yet to select a champion.
The timer gets to zero and he randoms Veigar.
The game starts and Veigar says, "Crap, spilled milk on my carpet. Brb" and afk's for the first 10 minutes of the game.
I crush Irelia top, Karthus does well mid, and once Veigar returns, they seem to do well bottom.
Then 30 minutes into the game, Karthus says "hurry I gotta go 1 min" and afk's after our next team fight.
We're pushed into their base, they have 1 nexus turret left. We lose a team fight because it's 4v5 but I stop them from pushing.
Then Veigar pulls up a surrender vote. I'm like, are you crazy? We can still win this.
But my favorite part is when the surrender vote passes because even tho Karthus had to go, he was still there to vote yes.
I've literally had an afker, leaver, or flat out feeder in almost every single game for the past week. It's been beyond frustrating.

He's trying to hit the 10k referrals to design a champ.

I played Xin with pro Sona backing me up for one of the weekend game. I went like 17/2 with 30 min surrender. Our lane had ram and MF and we just crushed them. Sona would be poking with her damage spell and while I farmed up. One or both died whenever they charge in to killing Sona. They came back to focus on me but Sona healed me for double kills. Their top came down to switch but same result. The team fights were jokes with her heals and buffs. They really tried hard to kill Sona first but my team wasn't going to allow that
One of the 2 death was totally my fault, I charged into 4 of other team's champs. But Sona dutifully followed me for 2 kills but both of us ended up dead. Her record was 0/2/26. I confessed my love for her and added her to my friend's list right away(I know she is probably a dude).
I think I will buy her when I have enough IP for runes to go along with her.

He wants to put this god awful shit looking champ into the game...
No need to explain why Tim Buckley is a douche-nozzle... haven't been to the CAD site for a long time 'til I heard he found he could design a LoL champ. Reading his multiple comics about LoL is just annoying... he runs the acronyms and memes into the fucking ground.
the more I play clock girl, the more I don't want to play her.
I literally cannot fathom how someone could not want to play Orianna.
she is mind numbingly boring. I'm always thinking "why didn't I just pick <insert name of any champion ever in history>. Maybe I should just do a pure ap build on her.
Yes you should.
The thing that seems to be working atm is rush a philo stone, get boots 1 then get your deathcap.
Orianna with pure AP does a mind-boggling amount of damage.
Also, make sure you skill up your Q and your E(prioritize E) over W. I mean, I cannot see how you could find her boring, hurling balls around and doing awesome damages is nothing short of super fun.
aye, good advice! It worked out very well. I guess I was building her/skilling her wrong.

CAD is pretty bad but I think at this point people here will just automatically hate everything about him, no matter what he does. And it's pretty funny seeing that last line of yours in here. Before the mods intervened this thread used to be all about running shitty memes to the ground: "Jam totes son jam totes son lololol we're sooo witty saying the same stupid shit over and over again in our little clique of LoLers." These were annoying cunts and you couldn't read the thread without having to read that stupid shit on every page.
Hmm. I think I may have found a build for yorick that isnt half bad. Dorans- merc- manamune-frozen mallet- Atmas. Its much cheaper then trying to farm a triforce or IE and has a good balance of stats. If the game is still going after that Sunfire cape and banshees would give you lots of survivability as well as making manamune and atmas hit a bit harder. I think thats they way I will build him once he gets buffed. I added the prices of the items and it comes to around 15k for the whole thing. Thats not TOO bad. I really wish I could know the average amount of gold I end up with per game.
I would rather get mad at random people than people on my friends list. Because i dont want to get mad at people in my friends list. Well, I can get mad at them, but i would feel bad yelling at them in game.
Example: This guy was on my friends list, i invited him for a ranked game. He went like 3-12-2, but i couldnt yell at him since i invited him.
But after the game I quickly removed him from my friends list.
Wanna know whats fun? When I am Cait in mid and knowing that they have a Warwick and I am laning against an Annie, I rushed a Quicksilver Sash. Then watching Warwick keep trying to ult me and it never working over and over again.

you really don't have any choice but manamune + atmogs/mallet + atmas
if his health was higher that he could get away with triforce first it would be worth it for the damage output but he really doesn't. or if he had the mana costs that he didn't require manamune and you could build nasus style, aegis + triforce
