I don't actually stack rod of ages. Although the first time I played him I did decide to for hilarity's sake. I ended up selling off one or two though. It was a weird game... I started 7-1 but the game just kept on goiiiing. Team couldn't finish
Nah she's a scantly clad druid girl. But I guess she could work in a pinch. So that's 2 for Team Chrono Trigger.
Karthas is close for magus. Dark spells, the sword always seemed scythe-y to me anyway. Garen could play the role of Sir Frog...at least, before the whole Frog part.
All we'd need was a female Heimer skin and we'd be set.

I guess some days 1100 damage Requiems and serious hurt Lay Wastes/Defile is not enough to win a game. These are the days I sob softly to myself as the "DEFEAT" screen looms over me.
Fucking team just could not seal the deal. Kill 4 of them and send the last packing? Time to hang out in brush and not push, or b to get some mana instead of using 45 seconds of time to kill a damn thing.
I ended up like 36/15/20 as Karthus in the most grueling 65minute game everrrrrr. All but 2 of those deaths happened in the last fifteen minutes when me and a Blitz hopelessly tried to convince people to push and threw ourselves headlong into the inevitable 2v5 fight.

Another Solo (not Duo) queue win. Yay.
EDIT I have to sleep, but if anyone wants to start Solo (duoing) with me as a good 1v2, let me know.

Wriggle's Lantern is by one of the the best items in the game:
- All components 450 gold or less. Check.
- Gives you Attack Damage, Lifesteal, and Armor, all of which are awesome on many characters. Check.
- Has an amazing passive for jungling / dragon / baron. Check.
- Has an active for infinite free wards. Check.
I've been buying it on basically every character that uses AD. Just finished a game w/ it on Mord, and it was great, esp. as their most dangerous person was shaco, so my 3K HP / 200 armor + Thornmail + life leech + being mord made fed shaco a trivial fight.

I thought of Team Yordle but there aren't enough, unless we just make it Team Short so it can be Amumu, Teemo, Poppy, Annie, and Heimer.
Its true, noone likes kennen
HERESY. My Yordle team would be...
Kennen, Heimer, Tristana, Amumu, and Poppy.
Almost correct. Annie is a vastly better pick than Kennen.
TEAM YORDLE POWER:
Mid- Trist
Lane 1: Annie / Poppy
Lane 2: Heimer
Jungle: Amumu
That team has 5 stuns, a good mix of ranged and melee, a tank, takes advantage of jungling, etc. It's not the tryest of tryhard teams, but I'd say it is quite competitive.

I have decided I will never ever ever ever get boots other than swiftness or mobility on Morgana. She is just way the hell too slow otherwise. =/
Plenty of viable teams you can make with this S-rank line up!
Poppy + Viegar has the same sort of stun and burst potential as Annie + Poppy. Different flavors, sure, but pretty similar.
Corki - Trist - Viegar - Amumu - Heimer would be some mean team-fighting. Heimer and Corki are excellent pokers with their grenades and missiles. There's so much AoE power here and two AoE stuns to keep everyone locked down. Buster shot and UPGRADE!! for emergencies!
Wish I could fit poppy in, but the AoE damage seems best.
For posterity: Phosphorous Bomb + Gatling Gun + Missile Barrage + Dark Matter + EMP Grenade + Hextek Missiles + Curse of the Sad Mummy + Despair + Rampage + Rocket Jump.
Just gotta control that initiation!

The notable downside is that taking it instead of Madred's Bloodrazors is a difficult decision. Bloodrazors are terrifyingly powerful additions to most attack damage DPSers.
Just getting into the game as i am i find the items are probably the hardest part.
Also, Heart of Gold for garen or don't bother?

So Nidalee's free. Any tips on how to build her?
Several.
If you're going straight up AP nid, open with a tear of the goddess and convert to archangel's staff after mejai's. You can spam cat form abilities to get charges on it.
You can also keep guin'soo's rageblade permanently at 8 stacks by catform jumping everywhere.
Lich bane is absolutely nuts on ap nidalee.
Guin'soo's is good on any spec of nidalee btw, practically a must buy.
Just got... completely hosed by an Akali on TT. Dang. It's just one of those things where I'm not even angry, just stunned by how thoroughly she inspected my bunghole.

In my opinion, going for sunfire cape (chain vest + giant's belt) as your "core" item works best on Garen. Something like starting off with a Long Sword + HP Pot, then getting boots, then the items for Sunfire. Build the Long Sword into Phage, and get another Sunfire if needed.
Heart of Gold... I haven't seen many pure tank Garens, so I don't know much about that. Depends what you want to focus on: DPS or Tank.
I advise Mercury's Treads for boots in general, but that's up to you.

I think i'd prefer to more of a tank than dps.
Also, is it a good idea for solo queu to learn how to play at least one of each, dps/jungler, Tank and support. So you can fill in where needed?

Magic damage procs dont synchronize well with crit/lifesteal characters. Wriggle's lantern is made for Gangplank and Trynd.
Why is the Woad Ashe skin so expensive? And why don't they put youtube vids of the skins in action up or something, rather than like one static picture.

I know Soal is probably like 2000000. And others are probably 1600+, but I want to brag a touch. Proud of my solo q'ing!
1300s is pretty good. I'm currently at 1430 or so, top was 1450 I think.
It slows down the higher you go.
I'm like 19-12ish in ranked and I have basically the same rank as you (1340). Weird cause your w/l is so much better.
I'm trying to figure out which champions to play that are good, but don't get banned every game. Right now I'm playing Shen, XZ, and Amumu, which roughly translates to "I play Amumu". How good is Taric?

"hi I'm playing corki this is like the second time I've played him"
dude proceeded to go 0-10, and was level 8 when the other team was level 18
also fighting twitch with pubbies is maybe even more frustrating than heimer because no one wants to buy wards

I also listened to the words of our resident Garen expert and then refused to listen to him. Its been working so far.

Garen makes any mage cry.
I find his sole purpose in the game seems to be running in and killing the caster. And I'm fine with it.
My best moment with Garen was when I scored a double-kill, die but guardian angel goes off, and pop up for a third kill.
Edit: Kayle is my new hotness.
You've got like eight choices, mix and match!
Corki
Trist
Teemo
Hemier
Amumu
Veigar
Poppy
Kennen
