    Yeah, I think Nunu and Warwick can maybe jungle that early

    But generally you need specific T3 runes to be able to survive

    I'm pretty sure both can, but it requires non-standard routes and is pretty slow anyway.

    also taking suggestions for other pro streams to feature. The only one in the last OP was Bob and the only other one i watched (treeeskimo) has been silent for months

    oh, if anyone is actively streaming PM me a link to get in the OP, if you stop for too long though I'll take it down

    Patch today, shitty hotel Internet, and I download the patch in about 15 minutes. Step 2..... WTF? 3 hours? Fuck this game!

    Seriously, WTF?


    And now my pc keeps shutting down while it's patching. Never had it shut down like this, assume it's the patching

    The thing is that Poppy is so very dependent upon positioning that the extra passive speed can really help out. Getting E/Q off is great, getting an E-stun/Q can be a game changer. Having the extra passive speed for when W is on CD can make the difference between landing your E stun or not.

    I run Poppy with Flash, and I build Boots of Swiftness + Triforce on her for mobility.

    There is no significant amount of extra utility I gain from 3% more base speed; if I can't find a good position with the goods I've already got, an extra 11 or so MS isn't going to make the difference in most cases. It's just, well, excess.

    So hey. How are people building Skarner?

    I'm going to have the chance to play him on a friend's account in an hour, it seems like he'd do well with Attack Speed and Mana, besides being a tank and AP champ.

    Just looking at it, it seems that Skarner is the posterchild for Lichbane and Malady. Don't know what to do! Thinking 9/21/0 like Alistar at the moment.

    So, before the servers went down and I crashed last night, I made a custom bot game to try to learn jungling with Nocturne. This shit is HARD. I'm looking at a Nocturne guide on solomid, but I feel like I'm missing something more essential. Are there any really really basic jungling guides that apply to all classes? Just basic stuff you should know before you even start jungling.

    Try nanu? In a bot game. I've been juggling with him since lvl 6 in those. Go smite. Start at golems. Buy cloth X 5 pots.
    Smite to start, auto attack, Q, first golem dead. Kill 2nd. Level. Get W. Go kill wolves, starting with Q on big wolf. Now go to wraiths. Smite big wraith. Kill rest. Should be lvl 3 or almost. Go to enemy jungle an kill wolves/golems. At this point you should be able to take blue and have no problems jungling.

    Maybe not all that efficient, but it's bots, and you now have 2 solo champs.

    I had many of comments to make, but being new to the series after the hbo series, and getting into the books, every comment was spoilerish. And if you've watched the series, well, I had the end of episode 9 and 10 spoiled for me in week 2 because of the HBO thread.

    His E should be a long shaft thrust at the enemy while he shouts "Hodor!"

    Doesn't seem like it to me. His AP ratios seem to be underwhelming, and his base AD is insanely high. Feels like if you build pure AP like a mage you are missing out with him, and thats the only way he would benefit from lichbane. Sheen and Triforce seem so much better with thier benefit.

    I really feel like even with all those AP ratios he plays better with AD. You are going to be meleeing a lot if you ever want to do any significant damage, and a fairly small portion of Q comes from AP. E is a decent nuke, but thats it. The shield doesn't seem worth building AP either.

    But with that claw slow and that shields speed boost and massive attack speed, it would seem like thats best. Plus I misremembered the passive and thought it was on ability use. Its on auto attack, and that means attack speed is basically CDR on him.

    Dunno, seems like they were purposely trying to make him viable with a lot of different builds. The AOE potential combined with his absurdly high base HP might even make him a good tank.

  • TalithTalith 変態という名の紳士 Miami, FLRegistered User regular
    His AP ratios look really good considering his passive and how often he applies those numbers.

    Nashor's looks like it is a really good item on him.

    Xin primarily, especially if solo. Sometimes Renekton, but I primarily use Cloth->Wriggles on him.

    Nasus on the rare occasion I use him, sometimes Jarvan also if I solo him.

    Used to be in vogue awhile back on Shen, I'm sure it would still work.

    After not playing this game for six months, I just started again yesterday, and it's kind of depressing. One win in six games.

    Or maybe I should just stop playing Soraka and Singed and hoping that my team doesn't shit the bed.

    I just had the worst Wukong game ever. They had a Nidalee that just took my lunch money and made me thank them for it. Laning she was backed up by Jana, she went back at 9 to buy her stuff, and then her spear was being chucked through walls taking half my health away and dear gods it's a lion get in the car but the lion is throwing spears and aarrrrgh I ded.

    Lane was me (wukong) and Sivir against Jana and Nidalee. No deaths til level 7, then ganked by trist and brand, then their team walked all over our team until we surrendered.

    Soon... soon I will install you, my precious.

    Those kinds of games are tough. It can be really hard to keep games from snowballing after a hard lane. I know I don't have the skill to come back like that yet.

    The gods certainly weren't role models in our sense, unless you wanted to model a Mount Olympus trailer park.

    But when my team is full of stupids they flail about and the other guy kills them.

    Or just die five times in laning phase on the other side of the map and I'm sitting there wishing fling had a global range

    Just had a game with 2 friends and 2 randoms.

    One of the randoms immediately locked wukong and typed "i wukong" twice in rapid succession in chat, so we figured we were in trouble. Turned out he was fucking awesome and saved our asses more than a couple times. Guess it was a matter of english not being his first language, not him being 11 years old.

    There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

    So lesson learned on patch night. Start up the game and check for a que 3 freaking hours before I actually intend on playing because for some reason que's break 1 day every 2 weeks. I really can't believe their traffic is THAT much higher once every 14 days.
