What me and a few friends have been doing lately is running to the dragon before the creeps spawn. One of us plays Cho'gath, who basically tanks. We can down it before the creeps meet, leaving us with 200 gold and a few kills away from level two.
I know that, I was trying to make another one but the game ended. I don't carry around chainmail for fun, sir.
Also, I'm on a really bad losing streak. halp
(Symptom of playing PA games. I'm probably 33% in PA games, around 75% solo queuing. I don't know if queuing as a team matches you vs other teams or not, but PA just means PA, not mad skills.)

Yeah queuing as an arranged team makes it more likely you end up against other teams.
Just went 24/2/8 with Gangplank. A personal best by far.
And his Ultimate is fantastic! 6 of those kills were just killing blows from the rain of cannon balls. Three of THOSE were inside their own base as they fled to the back to replenish. 2 of them I lead by a couple of seconds and they died about 2 inches away from getting out of the radius.
Teemo: Yes! I escaped! Now I just have to get to the back and-
GP: Nope.
*BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM*
Teemo: *OWNED*
GP: *Maniacal Laughter* AAAHHHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
I used that while I was in my own base. It was magical.

I tried GP the other day and liked playing as him, but couldn't really do much with him. What items were you getting if I may ask.

I'm liking Veigar. I didn't ever try him before, but nukers are always my favorite in any game. I'm not amazing and never seem to finish people off, but they usually run away when they see me.
I tried GP the other day and liked playing as him, but couldn't really do much with him. What items were you getting if I may ask.
With GP, it's all about the money. With him you need to get money as fast as you can as early as you can. Your first item right as the game begins should be the +mana regen trinket. And in the beginning, your job is to keep other champs at bay, not kill them. Pick off near-dead minions with the Parrrley skill for extra cash.
Soon after you should have enough money to upgrade your mana trinket to the Philosopher's Stone, which now gives you 5g/10sec. Keep pushing the lane and keeping champs back and when you got 750g up, you tele back and pick up an Avarice Blade listed under Attack->Critical. This gives you Crit and more Gold. Eventually you'll want TWO of these. So you'll need slightly over 1500g. But when you got all three, gold will RUSH in. The next thing you pick up is Infinity Blade. You should get this before level 16. You'll need those 250% crits.
Now you'll want to size up the battle and see what's going on. Are the enemy PHYSICAL dps dominating the field? If so, get the +110 armor trinket that also reduces enemy haste by 25%. If the magic flingers are melting faces, pick up the +magic resist trinket that also absorbs a magic spell every 25 seconds. You're getting the survival items because nobody expects Gangplank to take a hit. Remember, GP is a MEAN melee fighter when he has the right items. Along with that self heal of his and parrlaying while meleeing, you can go toe to toe with any other melee types.
After this you'll have one free slot, so pick up a bloodthirster next. After that, you'll want to start trading in 5/g10sec items for more damaging items. Don't worry about speed boost items, that's not how GP should be played.
The order of importance for GPs' skills are as thus:
EXCEPT: When you begin the game, Take Parrrlay. Then when you hit level two take Remove Scurvy. You'll want lvl 1 scurvy for its root/stun/snare removal effect. After this it's not important and should be leveled last.
As for how to properly use cannon barrage, it's hit and miss. Literally. It's MAIN function is lain pushing and denial. Saving a Turret, taking out many minions. Also good for when a clusterfuck of champs is going on and some AoE can turn the tide. If it's a fight between champs and there are a ton of minions, the minions disappearing on the enemy side change things quick. It can hit anywhere on the map and takes a second or two to fire after you click it. You have to predict your enemies movements to be a pro with it.
And yes, use Raise Morale when you don't have mana issues so badly. It denies the enemy Exp and Gold and gives your allies and you extra haste and speed. Yes, it also doubles the effect Raise Morale passive has on yourself.
GP uses minions to great advantage. This is how he should be played.
Being in a lane vs Taric and Scion at the start is pretty much the worst fucking shit ever.
Also being on a pug team of random ass mediocre heroes (I was playing pirate lawl) vs what seemed like a premade of taric/scion/cho'gath/zilean/cardmaster is also incredibly terrible. Especially when you're all getting your shit pushed in and they don't surrender.

I've used it to save teammates, more often then not.
After going 20/5 the past few days I'm now on a 3 game losing streak where it's not even been close. Just beat the fuck down over and over again.
I feel you man. I don't really mind getting trashed. Its the *lets take our sweet time* trashing that makes me /surrender
I had this one game where my team was getting obliterated by a Twisted Fate. Like he was at least 10/0 in the beginning. The other teammates weren't bad either. There was an phoenix and a Master Yi that were also tearing it up. This other guy started a surrender vote, so I voted yes. Unfortunately, this Teemo voted no, so we just had to keep on waiting for them to finish us off.
Except then somehow we started winning. They didn't push their advantage, and we were being sneaky and ganking turrets and inhibitors. Also one of their players left. And we pulled off the win. This was the final scoreboard:
that is quite possibly the oddest combination of items I've ever seen on a Teemo before. And what's with people dual booting? Do they stack now? Cause they didn't before.
(EDIT) btw, I'd be pissed if I was that twisted fate. Going 34-7-16 and LOSING must feel horrible :[
I'm really digging this game, and playing Singed especially. He may not have burst damage, but between his speed, survivability, efficiency, farming capability and utility, The Mad Chemist is a goddamned presence.
I played around with Veigar too, and although his voice bugs me to no end, I found his potential for farming, damage and crowd control to be pretty tempting. Playing a squishier champ is just more frustrating and less interesting than what Singed has to offer though, so my experimentation has been cut short. Playing against people who know Veigar's moves also presents a bit of a challenge.
It's so easy to play Ryze in pugs. I never got a negative kd ration, even when our team was doing horrible. And when we were winning I would have like 12/3 or something.
That match was amazing. That Rage36 guy as Yi was a total douchebag, though. Glad I got to smash his face in multiple times. Mooman was level 18 TWENTY minutes into the game, and completely owned the other team multiple times.

And his passive trait/ability/whatever you want to call it is awesome. I got a lot of my kills while I was dead.
Edit: Thanks TyrantCow! I'm down to play if anyone needs another team member.
- why aren't you playin' with me SG?
- Bardi accept my friend request, i assume your name is 'Bardi'?
why aren't you playing with me
Bardi is the name of my summoner, yes
also can i not see people on my friends list who are in game?
Also, I'm on a really bad losing streak.

My favourite has to be the Lizzie buff w/ it's snare component :winky:
Also: want to play again, haven't been able to play since like august and stuff

Oh well, I'm learning. Fiddlesticks seems like a lot of fun from the games I played with him.
