    Just finished a lulzy game. They gave us Shaco, so we had Frosteey on jungle Kayle and Shaco counterjungling/roaming. Triple solo Morg, WW, Graves. They couldn't take advantage of solo Graves and we crushed them in team fights, even though Shaco was way behind..

    I always wanted to try AD Anivia. Her wall and egg should make her almost unkillable in lane. She has a stun and an AoE attack speed slow(not that you will ever have the mana for it, but hey why not). Really poor damage though due to bad base AS and scaling

    Note Tracer's secret ADnivia technique: Manamune. Pretend you're Yorick.

    Somehow I turned into a support player in Ranked. This is not helping at all in solo queue.

    I win a lot of games as support in soloqueue. More so than I win in other roles. This is both because it means that someone who doesn't want to support doesn't have to, but also because support wins games.

    Not too long ago I was playing a game as AD carry with a pretty good support. We win a fight in our base, push them out and chase. I pick one of them up with a hawkshot and chase all the way to blue sides tribrush (we were purple) where sivir was backing. We had a ward in the bush, I killed her, we took baron, pushed, and won the game.

    Soraka placed that ward. Support wins games.

    Chaoshat, I'm pretty sure it's a mortal sin to build Forzen Mallet on Yi

    Mallet is good on Yi.

    I think Trus is trying to say building mallet on Yi makes you a dick.

    And that is correct, it does make you a dick.

    But it's still hilarious.

    No.

    Yi has a gap closer and a run speed increase, why do you need a slow when you could be getting more damage!

    Like what does Yi get from Mallet that he actually wants?

    Running faster doesn't keep them from getting to the tower though. I think it's arguable either way.

    I feel like you'd be better off running a better damage item and taking exhaust.

    At least you can then throw the exhaust on a carry in a team fight if you aren't chasing someone.

    No, everyone's missing the point of mallet on Yi.

    It's hilarious. That's what it is. The enemy is trying to run, and yi is just right there, even without blowing his ult, and the enemy is thinking "This is some butts" and that is hilarious

    Na, they'll never catch you already, gotta hit them turrets as fast as humanly faster.

    2.5atk/s cap be damned.

    We did this today, and the game was so stupid close it was hilarious. We finally lost, and I just couldn't help but admit to laughing so hard it hurt.

    They eventually left someone at their exposed towers so I wouldn't run and whack it

    I wish entropy and odins was on classic. I want to run ghostblade + entropy + exec. calling (or gunblade) outside of dominion. Then I could get odin + omen and be the happiest summoner.

    is entropy only on dominion because it'd be too strong on sr? it's basically like having exhaust and ignite on one item, but it's super expensive, so i dunno...

    Don't people know how to deal with Ez anymore? I've been tearing up a couple of bot lanes with him and it's always gone badly for the others.

    I guess people have trouble dealing with aggressive poke in botlane with such short CDs? With Cait, you know you have aaaages before she can throw another Peacemaker out. With Ez? It's like he can just combo non-stop with AAs that matter thrown in there, like a more damaging Ryze. But Skillshots.

    Does Shaco's decieve crit always crit for the amount in the ability tooltip or is it influenced by infinity edge passive?

    I just wish I could get to play him other places than bot. In bot you're ad carry and need to build like it, or you put your team behind. In other lane you can do stupic things like hybrid/bruiser Ez and melt faces with a good conciense.

    According to LoL Wiki it stacks on top. So at rank one it would be 140% (base)+50% (IE) damage, while on lv. 5 it's 220%+50%. So with the mastery and his passive you can crit for 300%.

    I was amazed when I found out that Deceive, in addition to a short-cooldown Blink with Stealth, gives a guaranteed crit with bonus damage. Plus his natural passive bonus for striking from behind since, hey, you're stealthed.

    Is there any other non-Ult skill in the entire game as good as or better than that?

    We could move Flash to a active item, and then get rid of it as a summoner's spell.

    You'd just create an item that 90% of champs would rush first and then everyone has 3 Summoner's spells.

    Take him top, if you have a tanky jungler. He has a good escape and can last hit from WAAAAAY the hell back.

    Yep. This would be worse because it would be like "Well you have to have this fucking item so build it." The hard part is whether it has really job specific stats, the expense of it, or the difficulty of getting it.

    Honestly, as a jungler I feel flash is in a good place. I have to choose it or exhaust which is a pretty difficult decision most of the time.

    Pokey botlanes seem pretty strong in general at the moment, what with the (possibly specific to my ELO) number of unconventional supports popping up and AD carries insisting on starting with a Doran's blade even without a healer.

    That's considerate of you.
    My nightmares are the teams that want me to take summoner heal on a support other than janna, because evidently not only do i need summoner heal, but a heal on part of my kit, and "clairvoyance sucks." Of course, the AD can't be bothered to take summoner heal, and won't be taking potions, obviously.

    How many hit points do you need from me, exactly?

    Got yelled at last night for taking exhaust over heal on supportcrank. AD was a Tristana who already had heal :?

    There's a certain point when I'm supporting where I just give up and say "you're on your own, good luck out there" to the carry. This is normally when they're getting hit by the enemy tower while simultaneously arguing that our lane isn't pushed at all.

    Oh, Rend. Are you regretting your summoner name yet?

    I always suggest that an AD Carry I'm supporting takes Heal, as it heals the user for more. I tend to take Exhaust or Clairvoyance if I'm playing support. Exhaust is good if you have no natural slow. CV is good if you like running around in their jungle. (Nunu is always CV/Flash)

    Played with a Fizz mid last night. Jungler kept invading my wraiths and stuff, and I politely pointed out that if he got a ward or two to help out, it might net him some kills and gank protection.

    "lol get your own wards"

    Fucking people who play this game expect everyone else to do everything so they can just worry about pwning.

    What are you talking about? Only the jungler and support buy wards, the AD Carry just farms all game and expects you to fill them up on HP/Mana constantly, that's what you're there for!

    But if I don't pwn how will I be able to afford wards? Catch-22, the only way to win is not to play.

    On an unrelated note, I'm convinced that jungle Lux is secretly awesome. She's super safe because of her shield, not that slow (first clear in about 3:40 or something without a leash), and has surprisingly good ganks if she can hit her skillshots. The only issue is that she's just slightly reliant on blue buff.
