    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

    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.

    new phrase to add to the "Things I don't want to hear at champ select" list:

    "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

    BUY
    WARDS

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, you can't half-ass the Yordle team!

    You've got like eight choices, mix and match!

    Corki
    Trist
    Teemo
    Hemier
    Amumu
    Veigar
    Poppy
    Kennen

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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?
