Cool, so basically the PD is overkill. I'm still going to build it anyway. And I realize it doesn't reduce true damage, I just meant in the sense that its not an armor or MR buff like Galio W, but a total reduction like Alistars ult.
Alistair's ult works identically to an equivalent amount of Armor/MR giving you 70% reduction. The only REAL difference between a reduction modifier and Armor/MR is that Armor/MR sometimes have scaling values within a kit from which a champ would benefit (ie. Galio's MR->AP passive).

But in the mean time I need to think of another champion to take over once she gets nerfed. I seem to do better with farm based champions. That being said, what are some other farm based champions?

Soraka in URF is sorta fun too. When maxed out her E is on a ~3 second cooldown, silences for 1.5 seconds (unaffected by Tenacity since it lasts until the target walks out of the field), then roots for about the same amount. Get a Rylai's to make it harder to walk out of the silence zone and then you can really annoy people. Being able to use R every 30 seconds or so doesn't hurt either.

Speaking of characters getting second reworks, when is Fiora getting hers? The vitals thing was a cute idea, but I'm ready to move on. Riot could retune riposte a bit and make that her ult, then give her a new passive and W.

Singed all day. Though I'm biased because he's the best champion in any game, ever. I'm currently only rocking a 64% win rate though, but that's because I'm bad. still, 83 played, 64% win rate isn't bad.

Here's an URF match that was basically my team getting stomped all up until the enemy team was breaking our nexus. The enemy team was up 8k gold, had lost only 2 towers, and was hitting our nexus with the whole team +2 waves. And somehow we won.

he's been declining a little over the last few patches overall but his favorable matchups are still strong for him, he's good at working around or outright shutting down the bulky low-mobility tops like maokai, malphite, nautilus, and trundle

If I had to guess, other team fell apart early due to toxicity, AFKs, trolling, or some combination thereof, and they gave Verviticus' team an open mid. to avoid having to wait for 20m.

Singed talk: is proxy base singed still a thing

you can still do it, though you usually have to choose between double proxying and joining a teamfight as the best times to double proxy are when both teams are mostly grouped with maybe 1 splitter each incl. you. it depends on the game which of those choices are the better option. if the enemy team has a splitter you can double proxy the opposite lane and mid and put down way more pressure than they can.

What are you doing with her? Every time I run her out she just feels awkward.

URF is fun and dumb. I played Ryze 2 games in a row and cramped my hand while annoying everyone nearby by hovering my cursor over enemies and furiously mashing my buttons.

Going mid or top and out harassing / farming my opponent. Play safe, don't die. Out scale everyone.

LOVES THE KOG


I have been practicing TF as my go to mid champion, and someone actually picked it out from under me last night, so I picked Veigar to show them I wasn't happy about it. That TF was extremely salty the first time I pressed R, and I ended the game with 1200~ AP.

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

Hi, I heard this game was popular so I checked it out yesterday and played two really fun matches with human players. Jinx was fun to play but I had a lot of luck with Lux and using her ultimates to snipe people, I think I'm a natural pro at that. Everything I played with seemed real chill so maybe this game will be a fun place to unwind for 15 minutes.


Edit: The only thing I don't really get is the shop, there's just so many options. I heard stuff about using a guide for a specific character but I'd rather just play whatever Legend I feel like at the time so I don't think it's worth remembering any builds or anything.
