Guess what he's gonna do for you? He's gonna make sure your fragile ass isn't going to be cc'ed to death. Why? He's your fucking lifeline.


League of Legends is a game inspired by the Defense of the Ancients, developed and published by Riot Games.

leagueoflegends.com, the game database provided by Riot (who make the game).
leaguecraft.com, there are a lot of fan sites out there with general information and builds. This is just one; and, it's kinda slow as shit. Regardless of where you look for builds keep in mind, most of them make assumptions that are not clearly conveyed and there are a lot that are just plain bad. Tread lightly.
KillerCodeMonkey's wiki, add your brilliant shit to it.
Game mechanic shit, stuff like how attacks and magic and fuck work.
Rune break-dancing, good info about what runes you should buy.

Alternatively

"CTRL+L --> [ javascript:setServerStatus(1) ]"

Again, use them at your own risk.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND REAL CASH DOLLA MONIES FOR CHAMPIONS

Drop $20 for the Retail Box (Amazon, Best Buy, GameSpot, Newegg, Target, and Wal-Mart typically have this) It gives you $10 in Riot Points, take those, then buy $10 in Riot Points and $5 in Riot Points. Spend all of them on the second champ pack.

That's $35 for 40 champs permanently unlocked; none of the post-40 have ever been in a bundle AFAIK.

Q: How can I get champions and save money?
A: You won't have to spend a cent if you simply play games and earn enough IP to buy them all. If, however, you wish to hasten the process you may buy champions with real money. The most cost effective way to buy champions is by purchasing the two bundles on offer.
For $45 you can buy 6380 Riot Points, which are used to buy champions and skins. 3900 of those points gets you the Digital Collector's Pack, which contains 20 champions and includes 1380 Riot Points (huh?). If you were to buy the champions individually it would cost 37800 IP or 9620 RP. The Digital Collector's pack can also be bought in stores or online as a boxed copy, which may save you a significant amount of money.
3410 Riot Points gets you the champions bundle. This contains some more expensive champions. Bought individually they would cost 60750 IP or 14350 RP (ish).
This leaves you with 450 RP, enough to buy yourself a single skin!

the LoL wiki for the updated Champion list.

Valiantine has a lovely spreadsheet that you can add your summoner name to.

HEY LISTEN!

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ap5qFqD3oLKndHNfOGJ1VFNZVVZ6c1NtZVktdXpsTVE&hl=en&authkey=CJPuh4wG#gid=0

I placed everyone's name in the OP to this neat and tidy spreadsheet. You should be able to edit it yourself, find your name and fill the fields. If anyone is getting problems, PM MooMan or VaLiantine, because I don't understand simple spreadsheets. Please play Persona 4 if you haven't already.

    BTW, just got a genius idea. Double Jungle Mumu/Shen. After Mumu finishes blue+wraiths, go a-ganking their jungle and kill at red. Requires shen to possibly start double-top, but theoretically ends with a kill+assist for mumu and shen, plus shen with Red.

    I tried him. Not my playstyle, but i feel like he's pretty great. R>Q>W>E, RoA and some damage mitigation, and he'll be pretty strong. I feel like his ratios could use a boost though, i think they're all under .5 damage per AP though.

    New Ryze is so good. Soooo good. He's a true caster carry. And you do a ton of damage, even with little in the way of AP.

    Core build for him is: Sorc Shoes, Archangel's Staff, Frozen Heart, Banshee's Veil, Void Staff, and a 6th item that's a wildcard...

    Once you have the first 5 items though, you're beast mode.

    Riot post tracker - The current IP amounts are a bug

    Things should NOT be worse. If they are, then we will tweak values.

    Have some patience and just keep giving us feedback to help us find the right place. The goal was NOT to reduce gains, so you guys have nothing to fear - if they ARE less, then we will increase them, it's simple.
    Updated one hour ago so I guess they are still tweaking the IP gains. No idea why they decided to change it since most(?) had accepted the old IP values.

    As his 6th item? Maybe...

    This build has 180 armor already, so unless there's some super fed AD that's attacking you, you don't need more armor. AP is pretty useless for Ryze as well.

    I would lean towards a Rod of the Ages/Rylai's/Guardian Angel/Abyssal Sceptre, depending on what you're facing and how the game is going.

    Don't buy runes at 20.
    Just save your IP and grind it out to 30. You'll have so much IP you'll be able to set up whatever chars you want with runes.
