[MOBA DOBA]League of Love: The Prodigal Son Returns

edited November 2010 in Games and Technology
Now, once upon a time, all the nations of Runeterra lived in peace.

Until one city state rose up, and become the most powerful of all the city states.

That city state?

Bandle City
90zzbp.jpg

What looked like a peaceful hamlet in the South-Eastern edge of Runeterra was actually corrupted by a dark, and mysterious past.
Run by malevolent masterminds with powers no one could dream of, they field a group of heroes so powerful, so manically twisted, they became known as
The Bandle City Bunch

kennen.jpgamumu.pngpoppy.pngteemo.pngtristana.pngcorki.pngveigar.png]heimerdinger.png]mordekaiser.png

A group of deadly combatants, each with their own problems. Some were addicted to methamphetamine's, some were imprisoned for crimes against humanity, some were sexual deviants, but each was as deadly as the last, and all would fall before these great powers.

This group would go on to cause massive amounts of destruction, carving a swathe of death from Runeterra, and creating eerily endearing postcards.

Many would die in the resulting war, as Bandle City swept across the plains of RuneTerra. Finally, a group of powerful summoners created a League, a league of legends that is, to help combat the great forces of Bandle City.

They were fucking crushed.

    OK a fallacy is time = skill

    Games played does not accurate represent your skill, there are many players who have double or triple my games and will never play above a mediocre level.

    Also I actually have many games, I was payed to level someone else's account for a while, so maybe like 600 games total? Across a few accounts. Also I had to level up my solo queue from 1600 to where it is now against 1800 players which is really annoying

    It represents your experience and, assuming you aren't completely brain dead, should show some growth across the multitude of champions you would have had many games to play.

    Of course, given you say you only play Pantheon, this is kind of a moot point.

    And if you're a 1600s fighting 1800s and finding it annoying, it means you aren't doing much and the 1900s on your team are probably carrying.

    No, she's pretty clearly a yordle. Just like how Blitzcrank is really a mecha being piloted by a yordle.

    No, see, all the yordles are in the OP, so, if they were a yordle, they'd be there.

    Follow the logic.

    Hahaha no. I pretty much always solo mid, it is always a fun challenge to face good players, and you also get to learn which 1800's are jokes (There are a lot)

    And yes time only represents experience, and does not in any way represent how actually good you are with a champ. You can play without trying to get better at all, which is what the majority of players do. You have to really focus on seeing what is strong and what is not to improve, and doing it alone without help in this kind of game seems pretty difficult, there is so much tiny shit you will never see that you are doing wrong, unless someone tells you

    I should play Nunu more often. I actually think he's a pretty good jungle and an underrated champ. He's pretty fast and good for dragon control and he's a good ganker even without red on top of that.

    Plus in my opinion he can actually main tank (at least before late-late game) just by virtue of flashing in and ulting everybody. They have to waste CC on him to stop the ult if you position it right and have Banshee's Veil. The frostbolt + buff can make it super easy for your squishies to kite a high threat melee deeps, and the buff itself is pretty awesome.

    tl;dr Nunu is a pretty cool champion

    nunu is one of the few champs that are item independent, and I really like him.

    He isn;t super amazing but he can jungle quickly and ganks well, his buff is really powerful and he doesn't need any farm to keep the same effectiveness

    Who else has noticed that you can't see pantheon's ult on the autumn map, the rings get stuck under the ground.

    If you place your ult right they have no idea you are coming

    My favorite Nunu tactic is to start with a ward for their blue and then when their jungle goes for it, Teleport in and Smite + Consume to steal.

    Really screws with Blue Dependant junglers.

    Nunu is terrible/useles if you don't build him pure ap except for a banshees veil, that's not really item independent unless i'm misunderstanding you. (if anyone has told you to build him tank in the past they are wrong, and bad people, and you should probably never talk to them again)

    No, he isn't. His slow is amazing and bloodboil is amazing and his ult is amazing if you can utilize it properly. He is not about doing a ton of damage. He is about perma-slowing and perma-buffing.

    Nunu can also do a really fast dragon. Like, done by four minutes fast.

    The most amazing things about his slow and ult is their AP ratios, 1:1 and 2:1, which do nothing for you if you don't go AP. I mean yeah they're decent without it, but mid to lategame if you didn't go AP his icebolt and ult do pretty much nothing compared to his ult taking 60+% of an entire teams health off if he's AP + magic pen

    His ult is completely unreliable. Sometimes you'll be able to get a full ult off on a ton of people, other times you'll be canceled instantly, even with a Banshee's Veil. Relying on Ice Bolt for damage, and being made of paper means you won't contribute anything to a fight if you stack AP and don't land the super clutch ultimates. BV -> Randuins -> Abyssal is a much better build than getting tons of AP IMO. Much more utility.

    No, you are so off it is kind of scary.

    His abilities have very strong ratios, so he needs not much ap to have huge damage. You really want him basically playing as a roamer, and ganking. He is the perfect champion to be the one buying wards, because of how strong his abilities are without an ap.

    You also want him tank build, because he has to be right in the middle of fights to be effective
