I think there are several senses of skillshots, is the problem here.
There are the basic ones that go where your cursors was at like Mundo's cleaver, Ez's Q, Morgana's trap, etc.
But there are also things unlike your average click on a champ and it works type skills, such as Veigar's Event Horizon, Karthas/Anivia's walls, or the Tibbers cast. The cone attacks like Mordy's siphon or Cho'gath's silence sort of fit into this to a lesser degree as well.
I'd say the former are all what most people consider when they think of skillshots though.

As Nunu, I'm actually sort of excited about the tanky CD reduction item. That was something I had troubles getting, and the best I could come up with was Frozen Heart preceded by Glacial Shroud, which is sort of crazy expensive.

Warden's Armour? I assume you mean for getting Nunu's ult off. But even then it's not like you need another movement slow, so it's a just ~2 second 35% attack slow once every minute. Not horrible for the purpose, but certainly nothing special and probably less valuable than more health or armour.
Everytime Jax gets a kill the victim should hear him say "Surpriseee! I'm back". If there is going to be a champion that pisses people off you might as well emphasise it, ala TF2's scout. I still hate Karthus more though.
but i never get to be the cool karthus, my team is never able to harass people enough to the point where they have less than 150 or so health so the 250 damage will kill them (since they have 30 or so magic resist)
i went against a karthus the other day who was super defensive constantly standing behind teammates and always held back in team fights but had a lot of kills
Nevermind, I'm not tired of Jax, I'm tired of blind pick. Shit is just fucking dumb. Tired of playing a different hero that's not top tier for a change of pace and having to play a team of trash-talking tryhards playing for perfect synergy. Wee grats you're so cool.
Sometimes playing this just leaves me staring at the screen, eyes wide, shaking my head slowly.
Generally the community is very good especially compared to DotA/HoN; but occasionally you just get that guy.
Thanks random Tryndamere for calling me out on getting a Visage and other magic resist against Ryze/APJax/APTeemo. Thanks for tower diving even with your ult on CD and then screaming about how bad I was for not following you into the obvious trap. And above all else thanks for hugging the towers like a kid hugs his security blanket and letting the other team run rampant and unchecked out of fear that you might lose HP despite showing no such fear when it came time for your glorious suicide.
that is exactly what this TF did who didn't know how to use pick a card. he would have 100-200 health and NOT towerhug, attempting to kill creeps when he knows he is laning against cho'gath who will pop out of the bushes and feast the shit out of him, then immediately would say "come on [person laning with him]" as if it was their fault
I had a really surreal experience in TT the other day. Our team had this Shen (I think it was a Shen) who could barely speak English, but he was smack talking the entire match. Somewhere along the road he had internalized the norms of DotA etiquette, and despite lacking the ability to spell, speak or order the language, he made an effort to insult both teams every chance he got. Mostly just nonsensical strings of swear words punctuated by "nubb" or "nubbes."
I'd love to hear this guy try to communicate in English in real life, because I get the feeling that fully half of his vocabulary is the filthiest sort of DotA kiddie shit.
Yes silly Katrina, the obvious way to push is not to actually push but rather to hang out in the jungle and count down the time until the enemy begins to respawn! I'm glad that you feel the enemy team is not very good and we are losing towers because we don't know when to push/chase/retreat while you mercilessly slaughter another damn pack of wolves. And yes, you are correct in assuming you are a better player than the rest of us because you know how to Lotus in the middle of a team fight. No no, don't mind us; we'll just be trying in vain to kill the Zilean who has chronoshifted the Sion you are so valiantly throwing daggers at or the Soraka/Morgana combo who won't die and continue to lure you to your death after you finally look around and see two half-dead enemy champs and jump the gun.
I am so glad this game doesn't have voice chat because on days like today I'd probably get myself banned for abuse.
I think I'm devolving into one of those DoTards that you guys are complaining about.
I don't call people out but when people call me out I just get so RAGE-IFIED THAT I THROW MY CAT INTO A WOODCHIPPER AND AFTERWARDS EJACULATE BLOOD ON THE PILE OF MEOW MIX LEFTOVERS.
Also I sometimes go "you're bad" and such. Fuck I hate this game's community.
To be fair, I have no problem with being called out for doing absurdly dumb things, or for just not playing well at a particular time. And I've done my fair share of trashtalking and complaining. What gets me is when someone is going apeshit while at the same time being useless. Like the last game where Kat would ping our base nonstop after we lost a 4v5 because she decided to run and then mouth off in /all about how we were such noobs for giving away the game and yelling at us to hurry up and get to base to defend while we were still dead and she was still dicking around in the jungle or a lane.
I get that its a highly competitive game and I do enjoy playing a hard matchup but this disconnect between the shit some people go off about compared to what they themselves are doing is just disorienting.

When I know someone's doing something dumb, I try to be nice and ask them to stop. Like "Shaco you need to play a little more conservatively, you're dying when you chase."
But then if Shaco's like "lol i know wut im doin mind your own business baddie" I am... less kind.

i dont ever give people advice or tell them how to play really
i will just demand "stop dying"
Well, I'm also in horribly low elo (I'm pretty sure) thanks to my awful W:L record. So sometimes people literally don't know that if you're sivir, and you're laning against blitz, you can't get all ballsy near his tower.

Also I got into a TT today where both my team mates left within five minutes.

It is clearly a skillshot, you don't click on a champion with it.
Well by that logic his ulti is a skill shot.
By that logic every passive is a skillshot.
pretty much any time a person says "by that logic" they are being a weiner to someone
I then informed her that it was a team game, to which she responded that the karthas on our team who was 0/3 at this point, was her team
I have no idea how I won that for them
EDIT: btw I went 16-4-2
she had 2 kills
HMMMMMMMM, take a guess how she got them
if it isn't that i'm out of guesses
but i never get to be the cool karthus, my team is never able to harass people enough to the point where they have less than 150 or so health so the 250 damage will kill them (since they have 30 or so magic resist)
i went against a karthus the other day who was super defensive constantly standing behind teammates and always held back in team fights but had a lot of kills
every single one was from requiem
brb playing karthus
That is all.
Her shield and heal effectiveness are dramatically magnified in 3v3 fights.
Didn't help that she had over 200 armor because my team was all melee, but goddamn, that shield was annoying.
On my champion select all the free champs have a little exclamation point icon.
that way you get all the effects, right?

And then he trash talked incessantly for the first 5 minutes of the match until his entire team was clotheslined repeatedly and with little effort.
I believe he ended up 0/7
