Libertine posted:If you are one of those "well I gotta support this game, drats" types, you want to also make sure that whichever one of those three you play, make sure you snag that crucial Sunfire Cape to make your enemies tremble in fear of burn damage. This. I see this happen so often even in low Diamond and I honestly have no clue as to why. It is such a terrible support item, and both my forehead and my desk have suffered greatly from the amount of times the two have collided after seeing a support try to clear the baron pit at 23 minutes, only to have to recall immediately afterwards to regain the 50% hp they lost from Nash. Not to mention the 2.6k is better spent on literally any other support item 100% of the time. Also, again, sorry guys for playing so terribly in that last goonman and having to leave Mumble late in the game. Luckily I did one-shot the Vayne in that last teamfight! Have to say though, I love the fact that we have been able to get some goonmans going on EUW the last couple of days and I encourage all EUW goons to join the goonmans channel and join us. We might even be able to get some in-house 5v5s going soon!

It's a waste unless you're running up against an all-AD comp, and even then there's comparable options. My point is that chalice is bad. Also if you're up against an AD comp and nobody else is getting heart it rule. Also also swain owns.

Man if only there were an overlooked cheap rear end item that gave you a sick 15% CDR boost that you could get instead of Athene's if you don't really need the regen and are building manabarn anyway

I'm really really bad at this game. So much so that it was killing my ability to enjoy it. Only not uninstalling because apparently I'm addicted to a game that makes me miserable more often then not. Stopped getting new champs because why bother getting something new I'd go 0/55/5 with. But I remembered a champ I had luck with pre-30 and bought him on a whim. I loving love Karthus. For the first time I am doing consistently ok. My first game I completely dominated with more kills then everyone else in the game except the other teams Zed, who couldn't stop me because I can keep murdering people after I die. Even in games I lose I'm having fun and not ending up absolute dead last, usually top two in my team. And I have never had people on the other team as mad as I have now when I nail them with my ult when they think they are safe to back. Although the weird thing is. All his build guides seem to suggest either teleport or exhaust instead of ignite like most other mid lane champs seem to have. Is there a reason for that? Anyone who's some Karthus expert want to drop some tips?

Anyone who's some Karthus expert want to drop some tips? Karthus is very all-innable so exhaust gives him added safetly during laning phase as well as actually improving his damage during an allin by making sure you can land all your Q's. Plus making it take longer to kill you means they're sitting in defile longer and messes with the ability of the more mobile assassins to use only as much as they need to kill you and then get out before getting within Requiem range. I don't think too many people run teleport on him anymore but you can use it to get back to lane faster early, since you basically just want to powerfarm and get your Tear/Roa up and running, then later on you can pull off some pretty dumb homeguard teleport plays.

Champions like Karthus and Vayne deal extraordinarily high amounts of damage simply by existing; unlike many champions, instead of having bursty kits, they just do bursty amounts of damage pretty much indefinitely. As a result, a summoner that can position you to -do- that damage or perhaps keep you alive longer maybe end up causing you to do more damage than taking ignite in the long run.

NTT posted:I got akali'd. I guess I'm bad at playing Fiora (no akali's just retard dumb 1v1) Akali is one of the few characters who can out duel Fiora because her ult has no meaningful cooldown. You can beat her if you blow ult and vision on her but its kind of close, then she just respawns and walks back to lane and can 1v1 you for the next 2+ minutes because she's broken.

maev posted:So I just bought Viktor because I need a new mid, he seems in a good place right now - any Must Know Tips before I start my machine god adventures? For melee assassins mid lane, harass them with Q and E early before they become powerful. When they all in you, W yourself to get away or counter attack. Use your Ult to stop things like Katarina and Warwick ults.

On an unrelated note, one of my friends gave me a code for MF and her arcade skin (!!!) that he got off a friend since he knew that I've wanted to get her for a while now. What are some tried and true MF builds? I tried her out in a hexakill game and had a brief argument with one of my friends over what items would be good for her, I thought that a bit of CDR would be good on her because she uses skills quite a bit but he disagreed and said go straight damage. Can any MF players chip in/explain?

Black cleaver used to be funny but her ult does so much magic damage now you're probably best just building normal ADC.

I got a Wukong mid this time. I feel like i won the lottery. Also it was GP top who built glass cannon I just built a thorn mail and they sent him to stop me from split pushing. He would Q, I would W. He would take 400 damage, back off, then a few seconds later, Q me again, only for me to W again because I have 40% cdr. Then I laughed and finished taking his inhibitor, then i killed him. It was pretty funny
