[League of Legends] Skin codes work twice, share the love!
Yes, because TF can use superior positioning / poke / hard CC to mitigate damage, and that isn't an option for many tanky DPS characters. He cannot take as much damage, but he is exposed to so much less that his danger of dying is still lower.
Uhh... what? First off, TF is not really top dog in terms of mobility or CC during a fight and it's pretty easy to stick to him as most tanky DPS champs, and second, that isn't survivability. That's exploiting superior positioning, and against almost all tanky DPS champions, doing that requires some significant help from your team because against most tanky DPS champs,
I agree, but with the caveat that I've seen many very good TFs compared to, say, Corki. Valkyrie makes people lazy about being actually good at positioning.
unless you're absurdly fed, you can only damage through their regen with constant attacks and your positioning only lasts for the duration of gold card and however long it takes them to walk into blink range.
Gold card alone is enough time to do 3K damage against 100 Armor/MR in an unusually long game.
And I'm telling you right now that in a longer than average game that carries do dominate non-carries to a point. It's not DOTA levels of "1 agi carry vs. 5 enemies, fight!" but to use the most recent example I have, Trynd will wipe the smirk right off any tanky DPS's face late game. Their 200+ CS, 9/2 ratio doesn't matter for dick, they will still be killed in as little as 2 seconds, depending on team AS buffs and crit rolls. God forbid they are "only" 6/4 or something.
That's actually not true! Tryndamere's theoretical damage is high, but no, he can't kill people in two seconds when massively fed.
It's not only possible but reasonable for Trynd to hit 2.0 ASpd, with a streak of 4 crits (very, very reasonable to get) that penetrate 86 armor (with max cleaver stacks). The actual damage of that string is 2K+ even against armor stacking.
There are quite a few good ways to stop Tryndamere from ruining your day if you're massively more fed than he is,
Absolutely. Trynd is extremely, extremely possible to counter, you just cannot counter him by having bigger numbers if he has had a decent game.
It is shockingly easy to get tanky enough to make Trynd irrelevant, especially if you have a little CC.
Half true. CC dominates Tynd, but no amount of tank items can make Trynd irrelevant. He cuts right through thornmail.
Tanky champions that can scale pretty well, like Nasus (with time) or Warwick (with resists) or Udyr (with really any stat except AP) can easily beat up carries until the end of the game without many problems, especially if you're willing to grant them a massive gold advantage.
I'm not positing a massive gold advantage, I'm saying at equal(ish) gold. Udyr can just outright ignore a lot of carries mid game (I love taking down towers while taking a full 10+ seconds of auto attacks that I don't care about) that can consistently burst him late game.
To sum up my point in a single sentence: Tanky DPS has its advantages, especially in laning phase, but defense / damage scaling really rewards AP / AD carries for sticking it out late game.
Season 1 is not over yet, right? I'm am within 30 of a medal around 20 games in ranked. Do you think it is worth it? It won't get me a Jarvan skin though.
Apparently they have a limited quantity of runes..
Each rune takes a trained mage-smith 3 days of labor to make. It's not like they just grow on trees.
That reminds me of my favourite peice of LoL background, which is that Doran was an excellent craftsman who was coming to the league to make items but got kicked in the head by a horse and is now brain damaged.
His ult is of variable usefulness though. No utility. That's what morde does.
Why do you feel he is too strong? Do you try to 1v1 him. If his ult is up, that's almost as silly as fighting trynd with his ult up.
Teamfights? His ult can be stupidly good if put on a ranged ad. If you snag an ap carry, its much less so. Also there's an easy and cheap itemization counter to his ult.
Yes he is good, but with no escapes, initiation, or utility, he has to have strong damage or be useless
I did much better this game. I made some bad calls probably, have trouble telling when I should push or when I should respond to a fight. I was getting red once when I should have helped in a fight, but other times I have trouble telling if it would be a waste of time to try and get to them or not.

According to the newspost, season one should be ending patch day next week. So, like 3-5 days depending on how diligent they are.
If we don't own Kayle, does Riot give it to us for free along with the skin?
Yes.

Now I remember why I don't solo-queue much.
I end up placed with dudes more at my skill-level than when I run with the PA crowd (who are pretty much all level 30 now in my little EU-West group), and while I have an easier time playing than with the big dudes, the people I team with are usually utter shitcocks.
The last game, there was a big team-fight that I was out of range of (I'd gone bottom to clean up a creep wave hitting our tower, they all ran like freaks into a murderbush on TOP lane). I start heading up there anyhow to mop up any survivors/stragglers or anyone that strayed from the group (hey, it happens). I'm called a n00b for not running instantly to the teamfight (I delayed like 5 seconds to finish off the creeps), even though killed two stragglers, and ran like hell away from the fed Nocturne, Xin Shao and Brand, and was the only person on the team with a positive KDA thingie apart from our Akali. Who was summoner level 30. (I'm like 22 or something, for reference)
The entire team were badmouthing me after that, apart from Tryndamere, who seemed to have the best map awareness and died a lot trying to save our herd of cats.
My team just got crucified by an ap yi. At one point we had him 3v1 in the river and down to like 1 hp. He kicked on his heal, got back to full through all of us hitting him, and got a triple kill. It was silly.
morde is way, way too strong and a lot of it has to do with his ult/ghost.
he's jax. even though people will refuse to admit he might be too strong he will still get nerfs because he is in fact too strong.
If you're losing to Jax or Mordekaiser you're doing something wrong.
Sure, he's not a terrible champion. He's even kind of fun! But what does he offer a team? Fucking jack shit. Just bring a Warwick to your team, or something. Warwick rules and doesn't waste a team slot. Sure, Mord is cool, but someone has to die first, and when Mord is on your team...It's a 4v5 until that happens.
Lucas's Franklin Badge reflected the lightning back!
Pretty confused on what to do most of the game, I felt like we were overextending far too much and I really didn't want to commit to most of those attacks.
If you feel like Morde doesn't do anything before he gets a ghost, you're playing against shitty tank Mordes. Good Mordes build AP and use their strong early game to get a farm advantage, then hit like a truck.
The ghost is just crazy strong though, and any teamfight that's at all even will have at least one person die on both sides.
By the way: Talon, offficially the worst drawn champion portrait?
Check out his left hand on his renegade skin (ring finger goes forever), the leather X on his chest on his normal skin has some totally screwed up perspective (it is fucked), and what is Crimson Elite Talon supposed to even be? If it is not the worst, it is perhaps the least creative champion Riot has ever produced.
I think it's this, or Tryn. Tryn has a goatee, and that's like...Why? Was your goal to disappoint your wife with your face this morning? Like, more than you usually do? But at least your chest obeys the laws of space and light.

I've played against both and both are quite underwhelming. I guess his lane farm is nice but, his skills force himself into a position where he's exposed to ganks pretty much 90% of the time, and he's going to die to a good harass and a warwick gank (or just be denied exp out of fear of it).
Melee champions need something to make them worth it. Either they don't need creeps, can farm from a distance, have amazing synergy with specific champions, or are just overpowered. Mordekaiser is none of these things and he's totally fine as he is.
MacLaren and I figured out Spell Vamp Mord, I have a massive amount of experience with the champion. Maclaren and I were also one of the first good players to use Garen, who was extremely overpowered and needed to be nerfed. If you think Mordekaiser comes anywhere close to where Garen did...You're just doing something wrong. Is it that you don't rely on your jungle? Do you not deny him? Do you not punish him each time he pushes up and each time he exposes himself? He should not be an issue for too many champions to deal with, and at the very worst, he might farm well. That's not a big deal. I would expect that from a Carry. Except he's a carry that can't farm half the time.

Yeah, TSM and millennium and fnatic etc are all scrubs for losing to those characters.
A lot of the character art is bad. Miss Fortune has a 90 degree empty sausage casing leg and her right side is suffering from Elephantus.
