you cant kill someone with armor items you dummy. not even bramblevest or thornmail or sunfire cape.

a long time ago i was playing with a friend who exclusively plays full damage junglers and he got disconnected for the first five minutes and when i asked him to build tankier he said he was "too far behind" to build tanky and had to build full damage. thats pretty representative of the general player attitude as well as literally every jungler

ornn is not for the culture. we not about that oppressive poo poo, we want to be built like trucks and move twice as fast, riot you hosed up when you took out force of nature, put it back in. make a new tank to fill old poppys role of surviving things with 40hp while also taking 2 minutes to kill. doot doot.

I'd be ok with a lux support if they just bought a loving sightstone and warded occasionally.

i would not be okay with a lux support because lux support is almost impossible to control the minion wave with and if she uses bindings aggressively and misses you can easily be all inned or heavy traded against

Yea but tanks are boring to play both as and against, so actually there should be no tanks in the game at all

playing tanks is some of the most fun i have in league of legends. i love to have 5 thousand health and 300 armour against a 5AD (or 4 and 1 AP support) team and just be a giant problem the enemy team has to deal with

What's the deal with Aatrox sucking so bad?

His jungling is slow, top becomes unsalvageable if you die even once, passive is a joke, stun is unreliable and can be interrupted midflight, the beam is mediocre and his ult is just boring garbage.

The sword toggling would be good if he didn't have all this other baggage dragging him down.
the character is just a weird modern example of league of legends bruiser design where they put random stats on a guy until they can scrap. but with aatrox it is even worse since they are all situational and not immediately obvious as to what is going on. for example kayle presses e and you can hear the difference in how her attacks work and it is like ahh i see what is going on, with aatrox he just does some poo poo and suddenly he attacks faster or does more damage. the character is pretty alright but riot dropped the ball on the design portion of this

I'm new to league but a hard core DotA player. Just curious what you guys think of my stats, builds and rune on Draven. I ran aery for a while but using klepto now.

Have about a 50% win rate which I think is pretty solid for never playing League before. I have a bet with a friend that if I rank into Bronze 2 he quits league and comes to DotA.

http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Enigma89

Any tips would be recommended. I have been noticing that I have been queuing up with gold, plat and silver players so I feel like hitting Bronze 2 should be fairly easy but just doing a gut check with this post.

you are not eating, try to get 8cs a minute roughly, obviously not every game is perfect but you can eat up a lot of cs in the midgame if you play your cards right by farming lanes and jungle. in practice if you are outcsing your opponents you are doing well(wealth is relative to the games economy) but on paper you want to be pushing for that 8cs/m mark, in games you are absolutely dominating you should have no trouble getting that because you will be stealing their jungle too.

take heal over barrier because the extra movespeed is worth more than the extra bit of health barrier provides in bot lane, mid lane it is a little more debatable due to the shorter lane, but botlane is pretty strongly preferred heal. also, unless you are going for an early power spike by rushing IE, you should be buying control wards if you have inventory space and 75 gold. you can often get 1 enemy ward and like 4 minutes of vision off one, which is actually incredible value for the money, and worst case scenario you put it in a bush you know is warded and kind of annoy the enemy support.

people just have garbage morale in this game because they got tilted 4 games ago when their thresh support refused to buy sightstone and instead tried to rush shiv and steal kills. there is no real 1v9 mentality it is just people who have no discipline or whatever who get salty over tiny crap and lose the will to play games

The real victory screen in the video game League of Legends is the "Summoner has Disconnected" announcement after you've denied the third surrender attempt to a 1/8 master yi who has been calling the rest of the team useless retards for 25 minutes to which you respond, every time, "Don't worry buddy keep farming we got this : )"

i never experience that because i am the guy picking master yi but when i play master yi i win games. *

I submit that playing out 70 minute comeback games Actually Owns, as almost invariably you get to watch someone on the enemy team slowly lose their mind as they realize their team is throwing

I played a ranked game once where we were down like 9k gold at 20 minutes against 2 hypercarries, one of which was a jinx that over the course of the game went from saying "ggezpz" before they cracked our base to demanding we report their shaco for splitpushing

yeah but the problem is for every one of those games there is also 40 games where you vote no to surrender and end up losing anyways 10 mins later, and also that the chance of comebacks dramatically goes down at higher elos when people are better at not throwing games.

Been playing for the first time since last Friday; coming from Dota 2.

Anything for new players besides the little bit in the OP? I have a group of experienced friends teaching me most things over voice as we go.

When I'm ready to give them money and only want champs - just buy the ones I like that are on 50% off? Are there bigger sales to wait for?

just use essence to make champs, buying champs is not really necessary and i play this game like a week every 2 months and i still have all the champions. DJ bravo, the other thing is not all champs are made equal and not everyone will like every one of them. play free rotations for the first while until you are familiar with a lot of them

everyone keeps yelling to go adc and i didn't even know what that was up until recently. does the game force you to play the meta? it sucks that i'll have to play adc champs more often than not instead of champs i enjoy playing. i don't even know which champs are adc and which aren't.
you are not required to pick meta roles, but people act like you are because it is a huge uphill battle with your team and the game itself to do meta defying stuff. there are some meta breaking stuff in bot lane which gets played reasonably often, notably kill lanes, and botlane ziggs. other than that just play the champions in the roles that they are "intended" for, or just ignore what your team says and perform well enough that post champion select they stop complaining(NOTE: if anything goes bad in the game and you not playing meta, even if you are playing an unpopular champion instead of fotm, you WILL be blamed for the loss)
