    Yes, if you fight equally squishy AP carries who don't buy MR. When I play Veigar, it's more like "Oh boy, I get to burst lategame Annie/Malz for 70% of their HP and also get bursted down just as badly!"

    step 1) farm

    the day I discovered I could QWR one guy and then deathfireQW another was a good day

    i feel less leblancy if i 100 to 0 two people

    doing this takes a lot of kills and freefarming

    yesterday an AP ezreal autoattacked minions non stop to my tower and I had 150 AP after fifteen minutes when I had two or three kills on him and an AP runepage

    must've had 90 or 100 baleful last hits

    90 or 100 baleful last hits at 15 seems almost impossible just due to timing issues. 100 last hits would take 10 minutes of absolutely perfect last hitting (assuming an average of six second cooldowns on baleful) which puts you at 12 minutes assuming there was always a minion to shoot past 2 minutes (a bad assumption).

    I guess it's theoretically possible, but at that point it's pretty clear you wouldn't have opposition from your opponent no matter the character you picked.

    I am constantly torn between wanting to continue to play Annie/Lee Sin/Rammus and wanting to try out new champions. Those are by far my strongest three but I still have quite a lot of improvement to go on Lee Sin.

    I dislike playing carries because as fun as it is to be OP in end-game when fed, I really loathe being so weak at the start of the game. I like Annie much better than Ashe/Tristana because I feel like I can actually dish out some damage at 1-6.

    Also, I am still at the level, apparently, where two champions in decent proximity to each other means they have to try to fucking kill each other. I am watching this video and at 16:55 or so it's Nidalee vs Warwick in the top lane, near WW's tower, and they're standing almost on top of each other but they're both smart enough to focus on the tower and the minions, respectively.

    yeah the ezreal was REALLY bad

    but that didn't make it any less fun, and isn't that what this conversation was about?

    he got his blue real early and i immediately QWRd him so that helped last hitting

    I've been on a Teemo kick lately and feel like I've been doing reasonably well. It may be my imagination, but I feel like the physical damage quints I have in my AD page for Lee Sin have really boosted Teemo's early game harass. I was an absolute terror to the Poppy and Sion I was laning against last night, especially since they kept deciding to focus my Blitzcrank partner for some reason.

    Captain Teemo, poising ur HPs and running away screaming.

    My pages for Teemo are pure AS with CDR blues. It gives me 25% AS to start. Also my standard on Kog, I think that Kog may be the better of the two. The faster you can stack your poison the better. Dagger first buy, +Pots. Try to lane until you can get the recurve bow as your first B. Turn your dagger into berserker greaves. Build Madreds, Nashor's, and then whatever the fuck you want because people will be melting in less than 4 seconds.

    So Urgot and Soraka is a damn mean lane.

    So I've decided to take up Orianna. From what I've heard I can basically go make a 20m sandwich and come back to the game and still win with her, but does anyone have advice for me on how to do even better than broken?

    I'll of course use some sort of guide as I learn her, but I'm looking for general strategy and knowledge from y'all.

    The ball travels from wherever it is on the field. This usually means that it would have a shorter travel time from virtually any position it would be in compared to if you were still holding it. Throw the ball out to the side (or behind!) an enemy champ as a setup shot, then on a later attempt, walk forward, command the ball, then walk back. You use her deceptive range and the fact that she only needs to be in range for a second to command.

    Build a crap ton of AP. Rush Deathcap, maaaaybe sit on a Catalyst first if you end up with mana problems (although she uses spells often enough you might get the use out of a Tear instead for an eventual AA).

    Purchased the magazine at the back of the rack. Code was stolen. I hope after I resolve this with PC gamer the cheap piece of shit that stole the code gets his account banned for a while and the champion removed.

    Really boggles my mind why they did not shrinkwrap the magazine or something, the cost for doing that must be lower than having to process a stolen code for every single purchased legit one.

    It's also a shame that it is US only, was hoping it would show up in the Swedish PC gamer, but alas.

    It was a mind opening experience watching my sister play Veigar the other day. Not only did she manage to hold her lane against Kennen, but after 15 minutes in she would instantly stun anyone that went within half in range and destroy them. It's a bit like being caught by Blitzcrank but you have no time to react.

    Thats crap. I sold the ones I got for $12 each. They all went within a few hours (this was last week)

    Dude Soraka + Kogmaw is ROUGH. Double MR shred

    Soraka + anyone right now is a ruthless lane. She can still keep a carry healed, both of them full of mana, and her passive plus the heal perma buffs her lane partner with 16 MR and 25 armor at level 1. Oh, and now she can do waaaay more damage. She's like a free Aegis at level 1 if you're in lane with her.

    Soraka in any lane is pretty rough if the player is any good. I'm not that great and I can pretty much just lane forever solomid. I don't need to ever go back to base for healing or mana, I don't need to aim anything do do damage to everything around me and each time I hit someone with my attack, it makes the next one hit harder.

    Soraka is the best support because I support myself with Soraka.

    I got back into LoL over the weekend after not touching it for over a year, and bought Sona on a whim. She's a lot of fun, and I don't see people playing her too often.

    Bought of course. I was on the CAG forums asking if anyone wanted to buy it. And they were like $12 IS SO EXPENSIVE, when its FREE in the magazine.

    Im like yeah...the magazine is 9. Since when is a little profit so bad??? People can go buy it in Walmart if they arent lazy. Its a $3.00 lazy tax.

    Of course then I got banned for one week because someone claimed i stole the codes from magazines, so i just went to ebay.

    I think I sold them so fast because I was the first person on ebay selling them.

    Were these purchased magazines or did you take codes from mags sitting on the shelf?

    Yeah, it's pretty annoying, I'm definitely willing to spend $9 to get the code, but I don't want to spend $9 and then inevitably have to deal with Riot and PCGamer when it turns out the copy I bought already had the code stolen out of it. I might just end up ordering a back issue straight from them once they put them up for sale.

    Mordekaiser nerf to shield generation and E.
    Shen buffs on Q & W.
    Taric... idk.
    Orianna ball moves more slowly.
    Shaco clone more responsive, W activates more quickly.

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

    Ick, I've been pretty tempted to snag her but this would definitely kill it for me. I mean, she'll still probably be crazy strong, especially against people who don't start boots, but then I'd have to start taking solomid time away from Annie.

    i really really want 'leashing' the ball due to distance to disable orianna's QWE and R for one second while the ball travels to her

    Taric?

    My guess it that it'll be outrageous.

    Truly truly truly truly...outrageous.
