Are there many junglers now that can take blue without a leash?
I'm just getting back into this (stopped playing last October, right after Lux was released). Are you telling me blue golem was buffed in the last 10 months? I've been using udyr on a low level account and wondering why I was having so much trouble with it. It seemed to be way harder than my lack of runes and masteries would account for.
What is this "with a leash"? What does "leash" mean in this context?
Someone else attacks the neutral creep before the jungler does, thus drawing agro. They sometimes hit it more then once but leave before it dies. This can be done before the minions meet up in the lanes and means the jungler doesn't lose as much health.
Huh, ok. LoL has some terminology that makes sense but is also weird; I'd never have called it that. Leashing is usually when a mob returns to it's spawn point if it's been pulled too far away from it.
I like the "blue pill" phrase, though. Was it ever an icon of a blue pill or is it just THE MATRIX HAS YOU
anyone else getting insane lag after this patch? why the hell am I suddenly getting 400 ping during the few days out of the year that I want to play ranked? fuck this game.

I think it's just the "if you take the blue pill, you go home" connotation
I can't play Talon worth shit. He does mediocre damage, ends up getting focused right after laning phase and blows up and I can never, EVER land a kill without ignite.
Anyone have advice/builds?

It was also an item in the beta before they implemented the "press B to go home" function.

I always miss the talks about "WHY AM I NOT DOING BETTER AT THIS GAME!?!?!?"
As someone who is NOT very good at this game (I understand where I'm lacking and where I need to improve because I'm no dummy YO!) I can tell a lot of these people the most overlooked aspect. I frequently see people say things like "I was winning my lane like a total BAWSS and I look over and see my other lanes are like 0-4, WTF?!?!?"
Well... if you were winning your lane so handily that means you should have had endless opportunities to go win their lanes for them too... and you probably should have noticed that they were dying WAY before 4 kills.
Moral of the story is... No matter how good you are if you don't actively try and win the GAME by yourself and instead just try and win your lane... you will have trouble.
You have to become a presence on the entire map, not just your lane. And you have to do this early.
Anywho... /endrant
I know this doesn't pertain to any conversation going on right now but I just wanted to get that off my chest.
PS: Dominion looks like a good place for some MUTHA FUCKIN POPPY! y/n? Free money for just hanging around? Less emphasis on minion farming? I'm gonna stack my gunblades and Lolli-pop people the face all day err day.

I logged on, downloaded a big ass patch. Then ogled at all the new shiny things. Also new items? Or did they just randomly decided to throw rumble's items in a blender and put a random one in there that doesn't seem as helpful as a sunfire?
I'm enjoying this kill notification thing on the screen. Enjoying it mostly because it's hilarious seeing 5 people murder 1 person and seeing the long row of hero icons run across the screen.

I pick up flash/ghost with normal ad mastries. I go for bot lane.
My build order is:
Doran's Shield
Stay in lane until around 1500 gold
First trip back, Doran's Blade, 1 Boots, Long Sword (2 if I can afford it)
Stay in lane until you can go back and pick up, Brutalizer and boots of Swiftness
Pick Axe
Finish Infinity Edge
Finish Ghostblade
Black Cleaver
Bloodrazor
Sell Dorans Shield for Phantom Dancer/Zeal
Of course the stuff toward the end depends on how long the game is going and how well you are doing.
Skill order:
R>W>Q>E
Also remember, if your W isn't lasting hit minons and hitting a champion, you are wasting damage.

I see the Dominion items, but they say I can't buy them. This new hat like substance seems very hat like and very mp5 like with health for rumble. Which seems scary.
So for those of you who are interested, here's a game of mine from yesterday that I think might help you understand why it's not just important to win your lane, but to help your team win the game:
As you'll see, I'm far from a perfect player. I miss a lot of my last hits, I use my ult incorrectly once or twice, and I die needlessly two times -- but, thanks to a little serendipitous timing, I help turn what would have been either a death or a blue pill for our team into a double kill in top lane, then help bottom lane turn things around as well.
It's not just important to win your lane, but to press that advantage for your entire team.
ETA: It's a replay file. If you don't have LOL Replay, I highly suggest getting it whether you watch this replay or not (http://www.leaguereplays.com/). Having the ability to go back and analyze games is a wonderful tool.

Man I'm struggling with using Vayne in bottom lane. With Ez if I'm stuck bottom and have a bad lanemate I can still get shit done and hold the lane down / carry it. With Vayne it feels like if my partner and I aren't on the same page then there isn't much I can do other than back off and get last hits. Her condemn seems to be the same range as her autoattack.
Whenever I'm in a 1v1 situation though I feel awesome.
And if the game lasts past 30 minutes then I start to really pick up quickly.
hmm, I played a couple games after the new patch hit...
...but now it crashes every time and never gets past the loading screen. What's up with that? I mean I know this computer is a broken piece of crap, but it's been able to play lol fine the last few weeks.

That use of leash is still in practice here. What happens is the "leasher" hits the golem, smacks it a couple times and then leaves its aggro range before anything dies. This causes blue golem to leash back toward its starting position. It usually doesn't go all the way back, but it will partially leash back to its original spot before turning on the jungler with aggro.

I finally received a response on the whole refund thing. I think they delayed it because of that new purchase history in the store. Now they say you can only have returns on the purchases in the last 30 days. Absolute bummer, cause everyone I hate I bought a long time ago. Boo.

That's shitty. I'm still waiting for them to get back to me. I bought a rune page with RP, putting me up to 4, before deciding I should just go ahead and buy the 7 pack to put me at 10. I asked for a refund on that page so that I could do the whole shebang (which is what they tell you to do in support) and I haven't had any word back yet. It's been a week, and I'm kind of frustrated that they won't assist me in spending money on their game.
What is this I don't even.

You should get it soon. It seems kinda like a semi automated thing, so I think they were updating it for the new purchase history.
I might just give skarner back cause people be bitching him out lots. I really want kog maw and lee sin.

We normally do not provide refunds for items such as skins, champions, or runes. However, I can make a one-time exception for you and refund up to 3 purchases that have been made in the last 30 days of submitting your request.
So I can easily research the transaction(s) and assist you with this refund, please provide me with the following information for each of the three items you would like refunded:
- Type:
- Description:
- Currency Type (IP/RP):
- Amount:
- Date Purchased:
You can view your purchase history in the ‘Purchases’ tab of the store to find all this information.
Please also provide me with the following account information:
- Your account name (What you log in to the game with)
- Your summoner name (What other players see in game)
- Which server you play on (NA, EU West, or EU Nordic & East)
If you did not provide me with all of this information, your purchases were made more than 30 days ago, or you have received a refund before we will be unable to process your refund request. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or feedback. Good luck on the Fields of Justice!

Yeah, that's a pretty terrible lineup. Jiji won't even be there for CLG which makes showing only their games that much worse.

I can't remember where I heard this, but I heard that you could get refunds on 3 total items on your account ever. So use sparingly.

Essentially, yeah heals from support were an issue, but the bigger problem is high base damage and sustain on nonsupport champs.
Just checked the support site. My ticket has had the status "This request is awaiting assignment to a help desk operator" for the last week. Sigh.
In other news, starting to get the hang of Veigar. Tiny master of awesome is more like it.
