i was not aware at how much base health and health per level olaf had
i had 800 at the start of the game with health quints and a doran's shield, and with a phage + merc boots at around level 11 or 12 i had 2k health while everyone else was around 1k-1.5k
tryn can be a beast, but despite his ult he has low survivability... even though he can use his ult in CCs that doesn't mean he can't be stunned til it runs out, then he is an easy kill with low HP.
really olaf is the tryndamere that should have been. i think i have seen more olafs in the short time he has been out survive crazy fights with low health than i have seen tryndameres.
also i played the most CCtastic + meleetastic game earlier. sion taric jax olaf pantheon vs. sion taric kassadin garen ashe. their ashe was useless so really only kassadin was a "ranged" threat. riftwalking in and finishing us with his burst then riftwalking out got annoying as an all melee team. but we absolutely ate them and their towers. it was just stun stun stun stun stun stun stun. our pantheon got some early kills on ashe mid and she switched out mid with garen (lol, you would think the ranged would have an advantage against a melee?)

I would kill a man for a Lost Vikings trio. WTB Baleog and Erik. Or maybe Olaf, Blitzcrank, Gangplank, Shen and Amumu. Viking robot pirate ninja zombie apocalypse anyone?
Not really. I mean, don't really try to get a refund.
But Evelynn is fucking terrible, and there's no situation where you'll be like "Oh man, playing Evelynn instead of any other champion was a good choice."
Let's say it's Evelynn's best case scenario: nobody buys wards or oracles, everyone splits up all the time, and they all push way up into lanes without any viable escape route. You're good to go, stealthing up on people, stunning and killing them.
You'd still do THAT better with Twitch or Shaco. And when there *are* multiple people around, or the other deam *does* buy wards, Twitch and Shaco still have useful things they can do. Hell, even their stealth abilities are useful when the other team has wards down: Twitch gets an attack speed boost when he leaves stealth. Shaco's stealth is a blink.
Evelynn's stealth explicitly relies on her getting all the way to melee on someone to use the secondary effect. Evelynn is terrible.

I've had that happen to me a couple times as well, undein. Quite frustrating. Especially when you're playing against cocky idiots that think they're so good and owning you despite the fact you can't do jack.
I have the worst luck with teams. I decided to try every free character for a round to get to know their abilities. I play Cho'gath and go 7-4-4. I play Taric and go 9-2-9. I go Udyr and go 1-0-0 (the team made me go middle, I have no idea why). Anyway, for first time games I thought I did well.
We lost all 3 matches. All 3 matches, we had at least one player who went like 1-11, 2-14, 1-10. ARGH! Why the hell am I constantly paired UP with these guys instead of AGAINST them? It's so infuriating.
use your credit card in the store the have built into the client!
when did they put that in
right but I remember their was a discussion about the perfect method to getting the most heroes for the least amount of money
how do I do that
I am too lazy to look it up
get your credit card out
go to the store
look under bundles
look under riot points
figure out how much points to buy
grats bro you have like a million champions
yeah the bundles in the online store in the client are the collector's edition one (exact same as buying the box) and the online only bundle that complements the collector's edition by giving you a million champs that aren't in the collector's edition
Is it just me or is Olaf just bad? Not beyond awful, just bad. I've played several games with him and nothing I try seems to work.
Also Insanity, feel free to add me 'Kisen'. Here are the best tips I can give to anyone just starting:
1. Dont die
2. Dont die/Get the final hits on creeps (if you deal a killing blow to a creep, you get gold)
3. At all fucking cost do not die
4. Do not over commit - Even when your enemy is at 1hp, do not over commit.
5. Dont die.
6. Try out all the free champions that are up
7. When you find one you like, play that champion over and over and over and over and over
8. Dont die
9. leagecraft.com - not the end all be all, but their are some nice guides there which will help you figure out what items to buy and what order to learn your skills
10. Most guides are bullshit - PARADOX^
11-395739285. Dont die
The reason you do not want to die is because it 'feeds' the person that killed you. They get gold and exp which means they level fast and get access to more powerful items faster. In league of legends, of the most part, all of the champions are pretty balanced. What items you buy and how fast you get them will be what makes you better than the next guy.

olaf is pretty damn good
especially if you jungle with him, he can gank alright with double runes and he can do baron pretty early with the help of one or two teammates
i don't have an exact build for it, but my one friend has immense success with jungle olaf (i'm assuming with his w skill and maybe q?)
also, olaf is pretty good in the sense that with his w late game and his passive he is pretty hard to kill, along with destroying people with his e
also the tips you gave are ace; really if you minimize your deaths in this game, you will do much better overall
Also I saw a Jax with 1007 wins today. He started out 1/7, then we started winning without him while he jungled and grabbed a couple kills at the end to not make him look so silly.
Hmm. I have yet to try flat out jungle'ing with him. Also as I see things that new players may not get, I will try to provide a basic intro. Lord knows it would have help me out during those first few weeks
Basic Jungle'ing
There are two ways to level up in league of legends.
Jungle'ing refers to killing NPC's which are not in the main 3 Lanes and killing NPC's which are in well, the jungle. There are simple easy to kill NPC's in the Jungle and then their are the big boys and very big boys.
You have the Golem, the Lizard, the Dragon and Barron (big fucking worm thing). Unlike the easy to kill NPC's such as the wolfs, ghost and duel golems, these 4 grant you with a temporary buff.
Someone who is a good jungle'er refers to a champion which can very early on in the game (level 1-3) take out the golem and/or lizard for their buffs/gold/exp. As a basic rule, if you are melee and can heal yourself, there is a good chance you can jungle.
This is just basic 'what is jungle'ing' stuff. There are many advantages/disadvantages to doing so, just be prepared to face ridicule if you jungle with like...Evelynn.

you crazy
our Twitch goes 2/8/1 and feeds Karthus who gets a full Mejai's and a Guardian Angel.
6/11/11 Mundo at game end.
10/14/2 Twitch.
Twitch: Pro Mundo. Feed more.
******RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE************
i was not aware at how much base health and health per level olaf had
i had 800 at the start of the game with health quints and a doran's shield, and with a phage + merc boots at around level 11 or 12 i had 2k health while everyone else was around 1k-1.5k
that i had so many more bars alone was ridiculous
Tryn is a beast when used right, like when I saw one kill 4 people with about 200 HP
Olaf is a fucking viking
I also like Ryze, has he gotten hit with the nerf stick since beta?
really olaf is the tryndamere that should have been. i think i have seen more olafs in the short time he has been out survive crazy fights with low health than i have seen tryndameres.
also i played the most CCtastic + meleetastic game earlier. sion taric jax olaf pantheon vs. sion taric kassadin garen ashe. their ashe was useless so really only kassadin was a "ranged" threat. riftwalking in and finishing us with his burst then riftwalking out got annoying as an all melee team. but we absolutely ate them and their towers. it was just stun stun stun stun stun stun stun. our pantheon got some early kills on ashe mid and she switched out mid with garen (lol, you would think the ranged would have an advantage against a melee?)
Olaf is a fucking viking
i will be happy
let us hope that malzahar is the last of his kind
e: unless, of course, you are using it to run like hell away from those good teams... in which case, it still kinda sucks at that.
Anyone got any tips to not suck out loud?
I accidentally bought Evelynn. I thought it was Poppy because of the blue skin. Refund plz."

that's okay
i mean if you are a gay that is
Some of my friends are gay. It is possible that some of it has rubbed off on me.
i've had bouts of this really dumb type of lag since beta, so it's been on a couple of different computers
my character will stand in place, auto attack anything near, but ignore any buttons i press and clicks i make
but! i still see everything go on around me as per usual
anyone else have this happen to them?
i mean it could be my net connection
i dunno
fuck i think i just need to redo my network sometime
We lost all 3 matches. All 3 matches, we had at least one player who went like 1-11, 2-14, 1-10. ARGH! Why the hell am I constantly paired UP with these guys instead of AGAINST them? It's so infuriating.
when did they put that in
Or did he give me the wrong damn name
right but I remember their was a discussion about the perfect method to getting the most heroes for the least amount of money
how do I do that
I am too lazy to look it up
LoL name is The Huge Manatee
get your credit card out
go to the store
look under bundles
look under riot points
figure out how much points to buy
grats bro you have like a million champions
no i will not do the math for you
i need to buy those sometime
it would remedy my champion situation like whoah
retail gets silver kayle
digital gets goth annie

I think I saw retail boxes on ebay for like ten bucks. Wouldn't that be even better than what was said before?
it's not olaf that's the problem here
Basic
Jungle'ing
There are two ways to level up in league of legends.
1. Kill players
2. Kill NPC's (Creeps, Minions, ect)
Jungle'ing refers to killing NPC's which are not in the main 3 Lanes and killing NPC's which are in well, the jungle. There are simple easy to kill NPC's in the Jungle and then their are the big boys and very big boys.

Then again, you will be ridiculed anyway =p
