If I end up buying all the champions eventually, GP probably be the second last one I get (Teemo will be last) unless they re-work him to make his kit interesting.

Actually I'd probably buy GP before Zilean. I hate Zilean.

Gangplank was one of the first champions I bought, show some respect to the plank

I feel like as Nasus I've gotten to the point where, at least at my level (which isn't very high mind you) I can avoid getting blown out of lane, but come late game I feel like my effectiveness drops off dramatically, or rather I'm not really sure what to do. If I'm at the frontlines of a battle I usually end up just getting focused and melted no matter how much tank gear I buy, which makes sense since Nasus isn't really a proper tank.

Should I hang back and wait to peel folks who try to dive on my team? It feels like if I do that I'm not getting the most use out of my ult, but I guess my ult isn't worth much if I die 3 seconds into it while my team runs away, anyway.

Nasus with his ult up and tank items is incredibly tanky, I have no idea what you're talking about. When you have enough stacks you can just pop your ult, run into the enemy backline and maul their carries.

Well, if they have some AD you build armor. If they have AP you build MR. After that some health. There you go friend, the secrets to Being A Tanky Nasus

There are so many variables in every individual game that things like "get a certain number in this stat" just don't really exist. And if you're just getting focused and melting in teamfights that *should* mean that your team can clean up, or you're going in before anyone else on your team can follow and you die before they can get in.

This is what I suspected after watching Qtpie try to play him adc again and again last night. He just get wrecked when he goes full damage.

Speaking of qtpie, he's playing the League-killer on his stream right now: http://www.twitch.tv/imaqtpie

That or it's the visual update

That game is legit more fun than some other MOBAs

Did the servers just stop working for anybody else or is my game just being weird? My game ending and it took forever on the "waiting for stats" screen so I clicked to skip waiting for stats. Now it says I'm in a game and asks me to reconnect even though the game already ended and when I try to reconnect it says there's a problem with my firewall even though my firewall is set to exclude League and I've never had any problems with it.

e: Also the match hasn't showed up on Lolking so maybe it's some bizarre drop hack that happened right at the end of the game?

e2: The game shows up on LolNexus with an ongoing timer (52 minutes now when it probably ended at like 35). Is there any way I'm going to be able to play League of Legends again tonight...?

Can someone explain to me what happened to make Alistar picked in solo lanes again? Mostly the mana cost buffs in 4.12? I love the cow and it's really funny to see people talking about nerfs to him when he was garbage tier for so long.

Mana cost reductions, ult up to 70% damage reduction at all levels, and that he does well against Maokai

I thought he'd be bad in the world of infinite wave clear, but a Xerath struggled against me in lane and the last time I played vs a Ziggs I won. I think Syndra and Ori are his two main problem champions at the moment and I always feel nervous picking him blind incase I get those two, in which case I take him top and send riven or trynd or whoever silver people pick down mid to gently caress with their plans.

I like when this happens because laning is nothing but top and mid swapping repeatedly

It's your sole responsibility to the team in pick phase though, you don't even have to make good bans, but missing a ban is putting your team at disadvantage for no reason for something that is entirely your fault.

You know that someone on YOUR team can then pick whatever champ wasn't banned

It is because:

a) With a terrible mana pool and costs, Poppy can use the mana regen
b) As she is easily bullied in early game, an item that gives you a small heal and gp from lost CS is appreciated.
c) Amulet is loving hilarious on Poppy, who is already Really Freaking Fast.

These are all really bad reasons to build coin on poppy

henkman

The reason why coin is a suggested item is because Philo stone was suggested on Poppy. They got rid of Philo Stone and replaced it in champions suggested items without updating it for champions like poppy

I don't know if it's been mentioned but I was watching Opened (high elo Poppy main for awhile now) play a game of mid Poppy against TF last night and Opened's first two items were Nomad's Medallian/Avarice Blade. That made me realize that Nomad's restores health (and mana) and that the passive doesn't give you gold only if someone else last hits a minion but just when it dies in your proximity. Oddly perfect for laning against a ranged mage where it's hard to go up to last hit every minion. He then immediately rushed Sheen/Triforce and did the usual Poppy 1v5ing.
