I think thats a shitton of AD you got there. And that sounds like a lot of fun.
I did a scary amount of damage to Ezreal at like level 2 when he chased me into a bush. I think people will be calling for nerfs when people start regularly getting first blood with Yorick. I think even a tanky champ with a dorans shield would be in pretty big danger from a yorick maximizing early game damage. If the 3 ability combo + autoattack at level 3 doesn't outright slaughter someone I'm sure the ghouls will finish the job. Don't forget ignite.
All of you posting about how the "new" Kayle is awesome.
The time stamps on your posts are WAY after they hotfixed her. They put in some changes by accident, then undid them server side. Abilities show the wrong tooltips, but she is exactly how she was before the patch.
Yet you are all posting saying OMG SHE'S SO AWESOME NOW. You are and were playing old Kayle.
Man i'd love to play LoL but everytime i try to log on there is a halfhour queu. (eu servers). I don't queue for videogames, i just, don't. I mean, i'd happily pay money to play lol and not have queues

I've played Udyr enough to know the basics of jungle, but I have no idea what you're supposed to be doing in teamfights.
Just chilling with bear/turtle, bearing people? Bear two melee, then go turtle, then phoenix, then tiger, then back to bear? Swap between bear/turtle?
Or is it like grab onto one person, and repeat bear, tiger, phoenix, turtle until they die?
I've seen him on streams be effective, but it's like it eludes me in teamfights and I start just rotating my stances like I'm Sona.
It's not easy. You have to rotate correctly between Tiger, Turtle, and Bear. In general you want to spend 20% of your time in Tiger, 40% in Turtle, and 40% in Bear, since Tiger's utility is vastly front loaded. Try to stun the right people at the right time with Bear, bearing in mind the 6 sec CD is for each individual champ, so you can chain stun multiple people.
He's probably the hardest to blindly coach people on, because all of his complexity is in using the right stance at the right time vs. champs. Everything else is pretty easy.
He definitely is. You want your team to help significantly more than normal on blue, but with that boost he is reasonably fast and safe, and his ranged stun helps his <6 ganks be pretty effective.
I don't think he is top tier or anything, but if you are a professional jungler and feel like playing a support character, he's a good choice.

It was definately changed when I played her. I saw the post mentioning the changes were active, played her my first game up and the shorter duration on the movement speed bonus to her heal was very noticable. And I checked her passive to be sure.
so, yeah, any suggested gp builds? something that takes advantage of his passive while having him not melt when anyone looks at him? I mean, theres always tank plank, frozen mallet, PD, atma's? I dunno....

People were posting that the hotfix had happened, but she seemed very different to me. Her Q seemed like the posted changes had gone in, it was much stronger than I recall

Just go your original tank plank build.
Mine is 2 philos -> warmogs -> IE -> Atma's
My runes are all crit chance/attack speed. Crit chance red/Attack Speed Yellow/blue is mix between both/Quin are Crit chance
Anything else is just icing on the cake. Zeal is recommended for catching up to mans, kiting with your Q and adding more attack speed/movement speed for your passive. It may even work better if you got a Zeal before Atma's so you can get more slows, kills and kite more.
But then again, I'm pretty sure you told me tankplank sucks one day. So eff you minerva.
I'm not so sure. Take new GP, who after my 2nd game I carried with, despite pretty much never playing him before now (I have a few times, but not for many months). I have yet to see any Yorick positively contribute in a significant way.
I played GP for the first time every yesterday and won 3 of 4 games. GP TOO GOOD.
Wow... I'm so happy that I picked up Sona blind today. played a game with her where I went 5/0/5 before my first chance to back, went back with like 3k gold, got a philo/hog/cdrboots/mejais and it was just amazing.
They surrendered which was good because I had no idea how to build her but that game was amazing.
How do lee sin and irelia play? I kinda want to buy a champ but i'm not sure who
Irelia plays pretty fun. You're diving around q'ing last hits, stunning jerks, smacking people with true damage and whipping daggers around to heal. Lee sin is also fun, but a bit harder to get mileage out of. Have to land your skillshot and there's a rhythm to get into with his ability usage if you want to be spammy with them. Of the 2, I like Irelia better personally.
irelia is fundamentally imbalanced and will be overpowered until they remake her
lee sin is really hard to play but really really good when played well
aren't you just pulling the line a red not involved in champion design at all said. they already changed her ult to physical damage so she does basically all physical damage except when her W is up.

e is magic, w is true, everything else is physical
she still gets to build tanky as hell and do too much damage, with a blink, a stun, several ways to heal, and true damage
I was in a game just now, where, granted, we had two players not connected, but the whole team had the hardest time with Master Yi.
How do you fight him if you're not a tank? I was Tristana and the only way I could get away from him was by firing her canon ball and running like hell.
Also, I've played Annie, Tristana, and Warwick out of the current free champs. I pretty much stuck to Mordekaiser last week, but who should I try out as this week continues? I only have 2000 IP or so, so I've got a ways to go to be able to afford anyone else.

Master Yi shits out damage if not controlled. Your options are to A) shit out damage even faster than him or stun/control him somehow and then murder him.
If you're a Tristana and you haven't farmed as many items as he has, then leaving may just be the way to 1v1 him.
It's worth noting though that Yi is one of those champions who's going to be doing a lot better in a 3v5 than a 5v5, so I wouldn't really treat that as super-indicative of the character.

Alright, I've been playing WW, really like him, but I've been having a problem with his ult.
Randomly my opponents, lacking banshees veil or anything that would just instantly negate it, but it just doesn't work. Warwick jumps to target, maybe hits once, and then stops and sits there for a moment.
Also, should using his ult through veigars stun... stun? Cause I notice that guys like Yi can use their jump around skills to go through it.

Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
Banshee's veil, Morgana's shield, Stuns and silences can stop WW's ultimate. Depending on the champions you are fighting against, there could be more spells/abilities that stop the channeling of WW's ult.
Gah...just had one of those games where it was like herding cats getting my team to accomplish anything. 45 minutes of getting our shit pushed in by a super xin because 2 people flat out refused to surrender. And it wasn't like we were coming back...people kept making totally basic mistakes.
A PSA: If you see the enemy team gang bang one of yours outside of baron, and they have baron buff....get out of the jungle. Don't decide to go take wraiths because nah...no way they'll decide to push the mid inhib tower with baron....

Ever since I came back from my long break I have been losing games like mad. Mostly cause I am solo queueing. But I decided to bring out the solo mid ashe, and carried the fuck out of a terrible team to win. The one thing they did right was act like little meat shields while I destroyed everything.
I was 5/0/0 and took the mid tower by like 15 minutes. The other team had an ashe mid who bought the lifesteal scythe as her first item. She simply didnt have enough health to stand up to me.
It's not you.
The community has taken a serious nosedive in quality lately.
It was bad before, but it's just been unreal for the last couple weeks.
I've actually fought a good handful of good opponents recently. Ashes especially have seemed really dangerous recently.
That said, very few can stand the might of uber Udyr. I was good before, and due to his mechanics the slight buff is actually a big buff, especially multiplied by skill.
It's not you.

So it's not just me?
I just assumed I'd hit a rough patch of variance with matchmaking, and just kept getting stuck with some awful people:
A week ago I was thrilled I'd hit +300, and I have literally only won 20% of my games since. I seem to have a leaver or rager in every single match for the past 4 or 5 days.
I've also started recognizing the names of my opponents or team members, which used to be very rare. I wonder if the matchmaking pool somehow got futzed up and I got the short end of the stick on said pool.
Dunno. All I know is it's been a frustrating few days.
Still holding out hope that it's just variance and will soon pass.
Oh, and to answer your question - the trick to beating Yi is to never let him farm.
He's almost like vlad lite. you have until forever to shut him down.
Banshee's veil, Morgana's shield, Stuns and silences can stop WW's ultimate. Depending on the champions you are fighting against, there could be more spells/abilities that stop the channeling of WW's ult.
As well as quick silver sash and alistair's ult, correct?
Wags on
The gods certainly weren't role models in our sense, unless you wanted to model a Mount Olympus trailer park.
So I'm finally back up to level 25ish on my new account. Ditched my old one at 26, only bought 1 champ on it (Tristana, before I knew she was free... doh!). I decided I wanted a clean plate without a 25% win Ratio while learning the game.
The Tier3 runes really, really, really make a difference. Like "Ah my god I can't believe I can get away with some of this shit" difference.
Otherwise, now that I'm back up to 25 and starting to get grouped with 30's more, I find myself in the weirdest matchups ever.
Just got done literally pubcrushing a game as Irelia to the tune of 19/5/21, then, decide to look at who I'm matched up against after the game. Naturally, I think, "Wow, must have been some mighty low level people there."
But no. All 30's. I'm the only one beneath 30. I think the only reason I was grouped with them, is that not a single one of them had less than 25 leaves. Three of them had over 40. (And Jax, with 92 leaves, unsurprisingly, left.) I was astonished. I suddenly felt proud to only have 1 leave in 300 games.
