    I'm not sure where to post, so I'm sorry in advance if this is wrong place. I was hoping to find people who wouldn't mind teaming with an almost complete noob. I know basics, and not like I'm a complete idiot, there's just a lot to this game, and wouldn't mind help along the way (Even more so since none of my friends are into the game).

    I can help you out too. Add me - Waldenator.

    Most of the people on here are very helpful. Unfortunately when games are called it seems to typically be for lvl 30 summoners. There's nothing wrong with that but it can be hard to keep up.

    I just hardcore stomped this Kennen as Garen, it was fantastic.

    Basically, I took my +34MR rune page, got an early level in Courage, and strode into lane with 73 magic resistance. He was very good at hitting his Qs, but they just did so little fucking damage to me because I could just pop W when he went in to finish his 3 stacks. Now, I couldn't actually go in and beat his shit in directly, but I could keep him from right-clicking my back creep line (body-blocked his Qs); eventually I had an Avarice Blade and a 40cs advantage.

    I only managed to kill him once, when he was trying to hardcore bait me into a gank from Shyvana. Unfortunately for Kennen, I could gib him faster than Shyvana could close the gap, and I just sauntered back to my tower as Shyv tried to tickle me to death with Burnout.

    Th funny part of that is burnout is magic damage. You sir, are gentleman and a scholar.

    Thanks for the help. Figured I could count on the PA community to be ever so helpful. I haven't played PC for few years, got back into mostly for this game. It's just good to find people who are willing to help out, instead of going through frustration of figuring it out alone haha.

    I'll add you later (Got to go work soon), and thanks again.

    I think some people aren't understanding the point of the contest. To win the contest, you must first own Graves. The point of those who don't own Graves is that they don't want to buy a champion they don't own just for the contest's skin in case they don't even like playing Graves.

    What graves contest is this?

    Details in the OP, win a game as Graves and submit screens to win Riot Graves skin.

    Winners are determined by worst overall team score (lore lol).

    Hurrrgh one of those games. I was bot with Yi.

    He spent the first half of the game just hugging the tower doing not much of anything at all. Enemies had twice our kills by mid-game.

    Then they dropped the ball completely. Sure, they roamed and killed, but they never actually pushed.

    Sounds like my ex-wife amirightguys?

    Blargh, boots of swiftness need to be removed from the game and replaced with Noxian boots (life-steal). Man, no Ad carry on their team at all, whats with this 'I have to build Teemo AP or go home' that seems to be going on. I played a game last night as support teemo, its a thing. MUSHROOMS EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE!. Was with Jerkshoes, PacificStar, Phasen and Scugg. Oh it was fun.

    it would be nice if spell vamp had a *little* variation in choice outside of revolver->WoTA/Gunblade....

    Riot hates spellvamp, though.

    Which is dumb. At least spell vamp requires you spend something to get the sustain where as lifesteal is broken right now.

    riot kindof seems to sorta hate sustain type things, but there is a shocking disparity between the AD lifesteal choices, and the AP spell vamp choices. Also a huge difference in building AP vs. building AD. I would love an AP item ala BT that gave you spellvamp and additional AP/minion killed. I'd also like an AD item that is like the ROA, but for ADers...

    Lots of asymmetry between AP and AD and most is not reasonable.

    So my team wasn't very good, but support gives no f*cks:

    She is a very good support IMHO. Then again, I play a lot of skillshot champs.

    Edit: Ugh, should have wiped my elo off that image. I really should get it up some time, but every time I do the random people matchmaking pairs me with makes me want to tear my hair out.

    I don't want mirror items. I just want more appealing options. And there's no "kindof" about it, expect huge changes to lifesteal in S3. I suspect fixed life on hit will replace lifesteal.

  • Joe KJoe K Registered User regular
    yeh, from what i've seen LoHit is gonna be the new lifesteal.

    I don't particularly want mirror items, I do want more variety for every role though, and less items that are consider "suboptimal" so having variation is actually possible. seems like keeping itemization as simplistic as they have is holding back further gameplay advances...

  • Styrofoam SammichStyrofoam Sammich WANT. normal (not weird)Registered User regular
    They've said S3 is going to add a lot of items. The problem with an AD version of RoA is that there's no way you can make one that's appealing to a carry that's not flat broken for a bruiser.

    Well considering they're nerfing top from orbit, maybe not so.

    I'm not sure what they're going to do to top. Nerfing sustain again won't fix it and they won't rework every possible top lane champion. Map changes maybe?

    I don't know either, but I am interested to see. All I care about is that with all the nerfs that it will be enough for me to make taric top a thing.

    I'm not sure nerf is the right word for what they want to do. Its not like top lane is "too strong" or something. Its just a toxic environment right now where the distance from anything important isolates it from the game and fosters snow balling. Even tiny leads in top lane turn into huge advantages.

    Is Arcade Sona timelimited? Saw riot graves and someone else were no longer available according to league wiki.

    Haven't played since Ziggs was released, planning on jumping on in the next few days. Any new support hotness? The one who polymorphs people looks interesting.

    Maybe stick a creep/buff camp up in the top lane?

    Heck, stick Dragon up there, stick red & blue buffs in the river where dragon and baron used to be, ditch baron completely?

    Or maybe have Dragon become Ebonmaw late-game?

    I can't tell you how much those item choices make me laugh. You, Gragas, and Veigar are the only ones that aren't hilariously bad.

    She's a good counter-initiator. I've had good luck with her against Taric and Alistar. She's also good at saving your teammates when they're being derpy.

    Jungle AP teemo....i...must...try...this....must...try...I assume he built the early frozen mallet so his ganks were no so reliant on red. God, this sounds so evil... I require 5 of you to try this out

    Jayce top still getting it done. Beat up a lee sin, got 3 kills on him in lane +a decent amount of CS. Still trying to figure out my Jayce Build.

    Been going boots + pots to start, then double dorans, into boots two. At that point, if double AP go with a maw, else rush bloodthirster. The problem is, I don't know what to build next. Been trying forzen mallet, which is pretty strong with Jayce's natural tankiness. Also been trying a LW or FH. Maybe its time to build a randuins and get the early gp5 into the mix. Maybe double dorans into heart of gold then blood thirster? Finish BT, go Randuins then probably a LW?

    I just can't tell whats really good. Last game I was up against a bunch of AP built BT, Frozen Mallet and then Force of Nature. Worked ok, was really hard for the enemy team to kill me, but none of them built a void staff. I wish there was a straight up damage + armor item. Screw Atmas. Like something that gave like 55 AD and 60 armor would be awesome. Kind of like maw, but with no passive.

    On a positive note, finally in the "bronze" section of ranked from my season low of like 1050.
