Oh, I'd love for someone willing to guide me a bit to add me. (I don't even know if there are any other EUNE goons out there, sadly I'm not on the US servers.) I'm in desperate need and kind of touchy about everyone being better than me in my, uhm, very elite level 11 games. My summoner name is the same as my forums nick and I have a hard time listening to smart advice. Everyone be my friend!

I'm pretty new too, but since the goonlol community seems to be massively NA, then a bit of EUW I took the liberty to fire up a #eunegoons IRC-Channel (just now).

I've only been playing this game for two days, but I already can slowly feel the tendrils of frustration seeping in.

I'm not sure if I fully understand how to take advantage of being a powerful character. I've had a pair of odd frustrating games, where I've gone 15/3/3, and 17/5/3, and losing the match. I've doing this by following new-player type advice, and mostly just keeping my head down in my lane and focusing on last-hitting and staying in lane, playing a pretty conservative style and having people regularly attempt to gank me, then beating them.

Should I stick to this conservative approach where I tend to win my lane, and almost never feed, or is this in a weird sense a "selfish" approach, where I end with a strong record on a losing team. I'm not sure if I'm really helping my team out.

Most important advice if you're massively ahead on kills but still losing is probably: remember to use the time the opponents spend dead to push towers.

Tier 1 runes are super cheap so do get one basic AD page and one mage page - they can even share the same yellow, blues and quints.

So, I'm very particular about my assassin-style characters. Kassadin seemed interesting to me but was too much about trickery than about doing insane damage; Kat was hardly an assassin, but her damage output was rad; Akali sounds perfect but she rarely goes free and I'm saving IP for Christmas runes; Nocturne is on sale this week and I'm seriously considering buying him, as I have the RP for it and he seems right up my alley.

I have a few questions about him before I drop the cash though: is he viable to play without jungling? Can he drop all his moves very quickly as a viable strategy to deal insane damage (I loving love playing Brand, and Jax is my go-to right now)? Is he really as good of a ganker as his skill set would suggest, or is that just due to his status as a jungler?

I think you want Talon. He does insane burst, and once youve dropped your full combo on someone you have a couple of seconds of stealth to evaluate whether you want to finish them up or back off.


I havent played as nocturne, but playing against him he seems really subpar in lane.

I played against an aoe team yesterday that absolutely stomped my poo poo.

They were running amumu, galio, cass, tryn, and garen. Every teamfight they would dogpile their aoe ults and destroy us [I was running Cass, we had a Riven, Jax, Miss Fortune and Alistar]. I tried to get a quicksilver sash but that did poo poo vs the 3 aoe ults they kept dropping on us.

Whats a good way to counter this if i come across it again, or is it just unavoidable gimmicks in Blind Pick?

Splitpush. At low level / low Elo atleast 80% of teamfights are unnecessary and avoidable.

On the topic of splitpushing: Be warned though that if you're playing with bad players they are wont to charge up mid 4v5 and die pointlessly and then blame you, instead of fighting/farming cautiously under their own towers.

I'm a level 30 eurogoon who is seriously bad (<900 Elo), I've a smurf account: Spiro on the NA server and would be happy to play with other bad/new players.

For example, as Nasus I was just making GBS threads on this kog maw, dude was getting wrecked. Jayce was running in at high speed through his stupid gate to come help. I was at 80% while kog was about to bite it. Jayce still feels the need to assist and runs in and takes one shot loving takes the kill. 98% damage me, 2% from jayce shooting an auto.

If it was 1v1 before that him "stealing" the kill got more gold for your team than you solokilling him would have. "Killstealing" is not a real thing ever, no not even in some people's theoretical AD/support scenario or blowing ults. It may occasionally be suboptimal play but it is never "stealing". "KS" was made up by retarded people who dont understand that it's a team game.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll give it a shot if I ever get a chance to go top.

AP Sion is typically played mid. - Nuke the creep wave in your lane, roam to top/bot and use your stun in ganks.

I almost never come across anybody interested in playing the meta.

Take the time to appreciate this, because there will be so much raging later for anyone not playing exactly what someone else thinks they should.
