    Soraka is a pretty effective force multiplier. Unfortunately multiplying 0 is ineffective.

    Why enter a game and say it's your first time and ask for advice, and then ignore everything I tell you? no yeah, you're so special you can gank enemy champions 1 vs 2 by their turret at level 2.

    It wouldn't be so bad if you had any capacity to learn. Turrets killed you instantly?

    Do you:
    A - Not do that again
    B - Try it 7 more times because you almost had it

    Look at this shit.

    You really shouldn't try to depend on your team-mates when going against the easy bots, chances are they are going to be completely useless beyond being another larger type of minion between the bots and your turrets. Pick a tanky dps champ and just drag your team to victory kicking and screaming after "winning" your lane and ganking every other.

    Playing strait up support is a fools errand if you don't know the people you are with. Learn to carry or play tanky-dps that can do well in bottom lane and still have a dominant team fight presence late game.

    You can pick your force multipliers when you know there is someone you can count on.

    Not when they are playing high on stupidity fueled aggression. Too stupid to win, too stupid to learn tends to be the case.

    Soliloqui, thanks for the ranked games today. Three out of four wins was a pretty good stopping point.
    Man, I love your AP Cho.

    CARRY YOUR TEAM WITH AP SORAKA

    CARRY THEM INTO THE FUTUREEEEEEEEEe

    I remember a game from a couple of days ago with PA guys, we played vs some team and won comfortably and about 2 mins before the end of the game it was noticed that "Wait what, their Soraka has 17 stacks and has never died?". She lost the game never dying, the rest of her team was that bad;o(

    Yeah, it's him. Didn't know he is doing the commentary for them. That's sweet. Now Riot should get TreeEski to do the actual big tournaments and I'm happy.

    Premade normal with 3-5, duo-queue ranked primarily, though I haven't been in the mood for the latter even after coming back to the game.

    Still getting my legs back under me. I'll pick a champ I know how to play, then halfway through the game I'll start saying "uhh, okay, now what the hell did I used to build here?"

    Tried a ranked game again and am sad that after a nice 5/0/0 + 2 top towers start as Ez I was unable to herd my cats to victory. They were determined to take delicious Soraka bait next to murder bushes and throw away the lead I gave them.

    In the push that would have won us the game, I have GP ult their inhib tower, scattering them away. I ping the turret because raise morale + essence flux + hunter's call means towers drop before the cannons stop firing. Instead, in their brilliance, they ignore the ping and dive all 5 of them and get picked apart mercilessly.

    I made it out but I can't stop a 5 man Soraka push alone and lose. :(

    Your mistake is playing beginner bots. Bots are stupidly aggressive in this game. Moreso than almost any player. Low level people just don't know how to deal with that. Get ye to some real games until level 10ish at the minimum.

    Amumu is an amazing jungler with good damage and great CC early game. Gap closer + stun, and at 6 ae root? What more can you want from a jungler? How does a WW close? His ult? Better to save that for after their flash. Get close and proc your blood scent and warn them you're there? WW Isn't a bad jungler, but hes not in Amumu's class for ganks.

    Just had to try it out myself, if was completely hilarious. 34/0/16 since the people I was teamed up with against the bots were at that perfect level of bad where they are able to hold our towers but not actively push out and end the game. Got a bit silly around the end when I was running around with a 20 stack mejai's, deathcap, DFG, lichbane combo.

    The official game perfume was: Carried by Taric.

    You walk up to them, toggling blood scent as soon as they see you / it is too late. And you can either ult right away for burst (with a lane opponent), or to start a CC chain, or as you mention, save it for when they try to flee.

    I don't really understand the issues people are having with WW Ganks. Assuming the lane hasn't decided to rest its eyes, I consistently fuck people up in ganks. Full health and a flash at mid lane can save people, or perhaps a bit further with full HP, flash, and some CC or ghost, but it takes a perfect storm of good play to make a WW gank fail.

    My condolences. Hopefully they made it up to you by making him the pubstompiest of lane sustain champions for 3 weeks. (Even now, he's a monster of a sustain champ. No one uses him though because his late game power is sweaty balls.)

    okay? champion changes come every 2 weeks and they do fix stuff like eve.

  • BethrynBethryn Unhappiness is Mandatory Registered User regular
    Wukong has the extra auto-attack exploit that Alistar and a few other champs have, where you can mash right click during your charge and get an instant free auto in as soon as you land.

    This seems to be weirdly true of his Q as well.

    In fact, he seems to be the worst coded champion they've released since Urgot.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    He does not have good damage or a great cc. He has a skillshot 1 second stun that if you whiff your gank is over. He puts out less damage than most junglers (including warwick) unless the enemy team attacks you for tantrum refreshes, which they won't be doing anyway unless they know they can kill you. His ult is amazing for ganks, but then again so is warwicks and ww's cools down in half the time. Amumu is also super easily shat on in the jungle. Depending on how good your leash at blue was, you will be in the jungle sitting at around 3 health bubbles almost the entire time, opposed to ww who if he just gets a leash won't ever lose more than a bub or 2. Nevermind that unlike amumu if they come for your shit at blue and manage to steal it, you aren't totally boned as ww. As amumu, losing that first blue basically sets you back really damn far and you have to do kinda silly things to get caught back up.

    Do not take me wrong, I think Amumu is amazing. He is my main. I have played him more than any 2 champions combined. But having played him and a lot of warwick, there is no quetstion; warwick has an easier time in the jungle and an easier time with ganks. It is amumu's amazing team fight prowess late game that makes him awesome, and not hist lackluster jungling.
