    L1 stun, L2 shatter/heal, L3 heal/shatter. Max shatter in an aggressive lane, max heal if in a defensive lane. It's okay to get a couple points in shatter, then one in heal or something if the situation calls for it.

    Hide in bush, run at mans, be manly.

    How do you guys learn new champs? I always have issues just jumping right in with a new one

    In a premade, so hopefully your teammates can make up for your initial suck? But then I feel bad, despite what my team says, because if we lose it's probably my fault
    Against bots, so it doesn't matter? I guess it's ok, but bots are kinda hard to learn against since they don't play like humans
    Solo queue, because who cares? Ugh, probably a better chance you'll lose, and with people raging at you

    If I want to play a champ I've never played before i do it in a blind pick normal, or draft normal if I'm playing with friends. Playing against bots is fine if you think you need practice even learning what the abilities do I guess, but I've never had a problem just doing it on the fly in a live game. If I lose a normal, I don't really care. Caring is for ranked. =P I mean, I always try to win, but normals are for trying out new stuff.

    The only time i will ever play bots is if I have time for one game only and I want my bonus IP for the day. You just don't learn anything at all playing against bots.

    Super short version is max shatter, stun people, run up to them, hit shatter to shred their armor so your AD can wreck them. After 6 add hit R to the step where you hit W. Also, if you are serious about being good at supporting, go watch Xpecial's support how to videos on solomid.net. There is so much more to being a good support than just playing your champ. Most of the time you determine whether or not you win bot lane, and good warding and communication from the support is huge.

    Sona is still faceroll-ish for endgame teamfights although she needs a tear or a chalice after getting her 2 GP10s. Philo stone isn't enough for long teamfights and/or disengaging.

    I will pretty much always play a new champion in a Dominion bot game so that I have at least some feel for their abilities (especially since I smartcast), but after that it's normal games all the way.

    Zyra is still awesome even post nerf. She's not auto win like before, but she's still really good. She's in a good spot now. Not really sure how she got released in the state she was at release, lol. My first few ranked games with her pre nerf I averaged like 12/2/15.

    Just saw a nasus let a vayne farm top all day long. Not sure how that happens. I hate people in solo que. I can't believe that I have done so poorly that I am forced to play with these people on my team, yet the other team is just a kill farming party.

    If your carry has gone full derp mode and is out of pots and at like 100HP, sometimes you just need to heal.

    Or they started DBlade or some shit and asked you to take heal early.

  • CarnarvonCarnarvon Registered User regular
    EWWQWR unless your carry can't into trades, then you start maxing heal and buy some mana potions.

    Try to make sure to ult first, then shatter. That way you get the extra AP scaling for that 8 extra damage.

    They just nerfed the necklace, it now costs 800 gold and gives +10 Attack Damage (+2 per level) 3 Trophies: +10 Armor Penetration, +5% Cooldown Reduction. 6 Trophies: +25 Movement Speed. 9 Trophies: Rengar's leap gains 150 bonus range. 14 Trophies: Thrill of the Hunt's duration is increased by 3 seconds. Additionally, Rengar's next ability used after activating Thrill of the Hunt generates 1 bonus Ferocity. And they changed his ult cooldown to 120/85/50 from 120/80/40 because that was just silly. Now all they need to do is nerf the absurd heal and the Q ratio a bit and we'll be good to go.

    Like I said last night, I really don't think Vayne is nearly as easy a matchup for Nasus as you did. But then Nasus had the opportunity to not pick Nasus, so he brought it on himself.

    ... how is Vayne an easy matchup for Nasus at all? He's got no solid gap closer, she can just tumble away and/or condemn him if he tries to harass her at all. Jungler attention could ruin her day, but 1v1 Vayne should dominate that match-up on paper.

    This opinion may or may not be related to my view that Nasus is in a really bad place right now.

    This opinion may or may not be related to my view that Nasus is in a really bad place right now.

    What I said last night when I saw the matchup was "Nasus is going to get fisted." Which is indeed what happened. Vayne also had cleanse just in case Nasus landed a Wither when she was out of position. We got Nasus first blood but he didn't get much help after that.

    My general assumption is that anyone with ranged harass would ruin Nasus' day, and a Vayne pumping silver bolts seemed to be right up that alley.



    Unrelated: With more of Teemo's AP ratio now frontloaded, does this mean that AP Teemo will be more viable? Possibly even top? Trying to figure the impact - he's losing 0.16AP on the dot and gaining 0.36AP on the on-hit. Seems like a pretty hefty boost to his sustained damage on a target. Wondering how an AP Teemo with Malady, Nashor's Tooth, and Lichbane would fare.

    I hope AP teemo becomes viable -- "worse than bruiser teemo" is pretty bad when bruiser teemo is counter pick- only and never shows up in tournaments.

    Huh. You know I actually like the reinterpretation better than the original chinese art. The original art didn't really look like Kat, just random girls in kat clothing. The new ones actually look like Kat.

    I mostly see people build Teemo on hit, but usually it's with at least some AP in the form of Malady, so it certainly won't hurt him.

    RE: Vayne v Nasus, there's no way Nasus could ever win that matchup. Wither is a 15s CD at rank 1, and that's the only chance he has to get close to her. Even rank 1 condemn is 20s, but she also has tumble. It's a pretty good example of the kind of matchup that will never let Nasus get his Q farmed to the point where he could actually kill her. All she has to do is max W early and just pepper him with AAs while he wants to farm, while she just last hits.
