Ok so I just played my first game of LoL and it went really well but what do I do once I'm six slotted with like the best possible items for my hero and just have a ton of gold. What do I spend it on at that point?

You keep chugging the consumable potions that give you buff, but don't worry, once you get past being forced to play against bots, that point is not gonna happen anymore. A lot of matches will end long before that.

I meant this was my first game against real people. But yeah I didn't know about the consumables so that seems to be the way to go I guess. And also the only way to buy items is to recall back to base huh? That was a weird thing to find out.

Super edge case, but Ornn's passive lets him build items in lane.

Also, in very late game itemization, its possible you want to do weird things like sell something (most frequently boots) to buy another complete item that gives more raw stats. But honestly these situations don't come up too often.

Super late game you have to start selling early game items for items that provide more raw stats and teamfighting power

Yo when I have to play support I play Taric cause old Taric was my man. New Taric is alright but l except I feel I'm never using his ult right. Is there some trick I'm missing?

Yeah like its great if you get the super 'save your whole team from mega damage' thing, but a lot of the time it ends up negating the other teams engage, which is still good.

The other option is to save it for a tower dive. It takes too long to charge up to use it as a reaction, so you want it either at the beginning or when you go under a tower.

Yeah, I know I've been 50-50 on actually vaguely useful Taric ults since I've been basically one-tricking him in ranked, but when you hit the perfect one and you turn a 1v3 into a triple kill for your top laner, it is :discourse:.

:black101: Break a leg! :black101:
So I'm primarily a mid-Silver Jungle player, but I got filled to mid (somehow) and tried to play Heimer. This got my poo poo stomped in by a Viktor. Was there anything I could've done, or was that just a bad matchup? Felt like after about the seven minute mark he could just E my turrets once or twice from total safety and I couldn't really do anything when he flash ghosted onto me.

Sort of, but the reason you don't see Heimerdinger played a lot aside from insane Heimerdinger one-tricks is because he has some aggressively poo poo matchups. Anyone who doesn't have to play into his turrets can win against him pretty easily. If you get autofilled mid, just play Annie or dodge if you're not comfortable.

Heimer can be really good in silver because sometimes people will just dive him not knowing that that's literally the 1 thing you absolutely cannot do against him, but yeah like vermain said against stuff like Viktor and Ori and stuff there's very little you can do sometimes

There’s no real guide for when to use Taric ult, it’s one of the most difficult and open-ended in the game. You have to see 2.5 seconds into the future

If you're going for Gold+ this season play Rakkan, Syndra, or Galio. None of this is gonna matter when pre-season starts because they're pulling a WoW Cataclysm and poo poo's going to be weird as hell for a while.
