    See the thing about queue dodging is that you miss out on games like these.
    vU7Q8.png

    Beyond jungle Karthus (which I know works but a lot of people would dodge it), bear something in mind. Lee Sin and Brand called in champ select that they would lane together in bot. This left me in top against a Teemo who started with cloth + 5 and Sona (I managed an early first blood on Sona but after that got denied cs pretty heavily). Ashe vs Akali mid! Brand and Lee go up against Nidalee and a Warwick who dips into the jungle for buffs.

    We still won, because we played better as a team with initiations and map control, and everyone on the team knew their character. Again, this is a team with no tank, no support, and an unconventional jungler. They played better than a lot of people I know who play tryhard comps but just aren't very good with the characters, even if they're in the 'right' roles.

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

    Won a game (as Morg) that was pretty messy because the Jax and Nidalee on my team were first-timers with the champs almost solely due to good map control.

    I learned that Swain is a real bitch to fight against, and that I probably should play when less tired...in the game-ending teamfight, I hit 1 (hourglass) then R. Oddly enough, I still got it off.

    Also, I'm definitely getting to like mana crystal->catalyst+boots 1->boots 2->deathcap->etc. The catalyst gives you enough health to do things midgame. Getting a RoA is good but only if you expect to really need the extra health and mana. Morg definitely doesn't need the mana, as her cooldowns are quite long.

    There isn't enough hybrid and AD caster items out there. Yes, gunblade and trinity force are the best items in the game but sometimes you want more variety.

  • milskimilski Poyo! Registered User regular
    There are two pretty good reasons you can't blow up Kog instantly. A: it's a passive ability and those never have actual active components that you can activate, and B: It'd prevent anybody from actually escaping Kog Maw unless they were already out of the (pretty decent) explosion range.

    I'll have to take a look at that. Did they update to use the new API? I kinda don't know much about it, except that it breaks every patch... and when they said Enigma was fully GUI enabled and uses the new API (so it won't break with patches) I jumped on it.

    There have only been 2 patches since I started using it, and it only broke on the 2nd one (when Dominion Items were first introduced into the game), and was fixed in like 2 days.

    I've seen mixed results with Shaco. He seems to be good sometimes and diabolically poor most of the time.

  • GlalGlal AiredaleRegistered User regular
    In my experience, Shaco is deadly when teamed up with someone you don't want to 2vs1 against. He jumps at you and then you have a choice- run away and get shanked in the back or stay there and get melted by their friend.

    Also, while I dislike Silence (some champs seem to spam it like it's going out of fashion), my god do I hate Fear. I really dislike gameplay mechanics that take character control away from me.

    Anivia is a pretty great bird. I'm surprised she doesn't see more action. Being able to shrug off most tower dives is quite lovely. With the surge of Lee Singer junglers you'd end up with Blue a lot of the time as well.

    She's a 6300 champ with a fairly steep learning curve (see also: Maokai, Blitz).

    I've long held the belief that the 6300 champions who aren't regularly played end up poorly balanced because most people won't risk 6300 on a "might be good" champion, and so Riot gets very little feedback on them.

    And so you get swaggerers like Swain and Cassiopeia who are deadly but nobody's playing them.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    they also never seem to make champs like that free to play with any kind of frequency, so nobody ever has a chance to test them except for the brave souls who are willing to drop 10bux on one of them

    So the PC Gamer code is just kind of sitting there on the page.

    No polybag, nothing.

    I'd go looking for codes quick before people grab them all without buying the magazine at all. Also explains why we had someone trying to sell a code for $10.

    Maaan : (

    People are actually surprisingly receptive to helping out jungle Janna but I finally ran into a troll : ( He complained at first but then I got first blood and things seemed to be going pretty good then twenty minutes into the game Udyr just decides to start fighting 1v5s because I am just the biggest troll ever and this is my fault : (
    0jGdJ.jpg

    I still haven't actually won with jungle Janna, because even when I get first blood top lane (surprisingly often!), the enemy is just Singed/Jarvan/tankydps and they eventually farm anyway against their opposing Sheen Kassadin or unable to last hit Ezreal opponents until eventually there is nothing I can do.

    But it is the mooooooooooost fun. You make sooooooo much money.

    Had one great game jsut now, so of course the next game we get someone who picks leona and has no idea how to play her. You'd think Xin, Irelia, Ez, and Rumble (me) could handle it. Nope, they have a Sion who was bright enough to stun people while our Leona wouldn't initiate or even stand and fight.

    I seriously doubt Jungle Janna is actually viable besides the gimmick of taking early blue solo with some damage taken (or a pull) and ganking top/bottom at level 2 when the first wave arrives. I just can't see her having any kind of jungle sustain or a remotely fast clear time.

    She won't be able to clear buffs solo for a looooong time, but you should probably be giving red at least to people anyway. Tornado and shield give you respectable clear time and minimal damage taken from everything else as long as you have the mana, and cooldowns help too, obviously. Like, a Janna pass at wraiths is generally a fully charged tornado and one or two autoattacks for each small wraith. It's not super fast, but respectable enough and not at all unhealthy.

    Or, if we're talking about initial clear, who cares. Jungle Janna path is Blue, roam until smite is off cooldown, then whatever camp is closest to you. Level 2 Janna gank with boots is ridiculously strong.

    There's an item like that in Dominion. Absorbs 10% of all magic damage and has an active that lets you unleash that absorbed damage to nearby enemies.
