League of Legends XXIV: Today's Noob Strat, Tomorrow's New Meta

So? There's no hard cap so any amount still adds something.

But at that point, you're already at where you're going in about a second. With time to do a couple rings around it before hitting someone, if you have the reflexes.

Someone here give me an explanation of this thread, and what I should be doing in less than three paragraphs, please.

I'll give you that in less than 3 sentences.

This is the League of Legends thread. You should be playing League of Legends, and talking about it here.

(Basically, anything from discussing builds, asking for how to do [X], gushing about great matches, venting about terrible ones, etc., although the last isn't done very often.)

[Dienekes]

Bunch of guys and gals talking about the game, discussing builds, meta, jungling, and complaining about the gunblade changes.

If you have a question ask it. Or brag/complain about a game and the allies you have. Or get on mumble and have people much better than you tell you how bad you are, politely.

1. Discover Blitzcrank
2. Buy Definitely Not Blitzcrank
3. Abandon Blitzcrank in favor of this fun, new champion!
4. Good times.

That skin will improve the quality of your LoL experience tenfold

[toasty]

Nah, be like me and play Kog'maw and then go "Dear God, this guy is OP. Wow wow."

I gotta know. Who's this skin for? This champion intrigues me...

Not sure, really. Mundo, maybe, it's kinda bulky like him.

[Tychris1]

I think it's Teemo stuffing the suit with mushrooms, cheating bastard.

[Frankelshtein]

Well, he punches things, most of his abilities involve his hand, he has a movespeed buff, a shield, and he can grab people.

Skarner, I think.

Sounds like some rules I should follow. Fantastic. HELLO EVERYBODY!

You sure? Sounds like Lee Sin to me. The grab is really just disguised Dragon's Rage, after all.

[Lix Lorn]

...this is actually making me want to buy him. xD

[Triscuitable]

I just wish he weren't so darn expensive. I don't play enough to get that much IP. My "quest" to buy Morgana is starting to seem like a hike.

[Qwertystop]

...this is actually making me want to buy him. xD

Who's "him"?

[Lix Lorn]

I have enough to buy him right now with IP or RP. xD

[Spartacus]

I posit that it is the greatest skin in LoL, if only for the ability to say you are Definitely Not Blitzcrank.

Also, totally jealous about that skin, Triscuitable. It's not like I main Nasus or anything

[ArcanistSupreme]

I would like to chalk up another win for Darth Mario's guide for being a good team leader. Threw around a few compliments (not even that many), got people talking, and did what the guide says to do in general. Nobody on the team played perfectly (myself included), and we made some major blunders, but we still pulled out ahead due to superior coordination. And after the game, I was sincerely thanked for being a nice person and not a troll.

People are boasting about Nasus being OP, I hear this, see @FrontTowardsGmr offering five codes of the skin to anyone who follows them, and retweets the tweet, I retweet it, and a week later, I see my iPod flash (iOS5 notifications FTW) saying @FrontTowardsGmr has mentioned me on Twitter. I look, and I've won one of the five codes. I get it in a direct message, and redeem it for both Nasus and the skin. Total awesomeness. Now I'm gonna try Nasus to see just how awesome he really is.

[TechnOkami]

You, my friend, need to undergo Spartacus' Super Nasus Training Program.

[Triscuitable]

Do tell. Because I really suck as Nasus right now.

[toasty]

I'm running out of stuff to spend my IP on. Instead of champions, I'm gonna buy a Ryze Rune Page:

M Pen. Marks (have)
Mana Regen/lvl Yellows (Or armor Yellows, I have both)
Flat Mana Quints
Mana/Level Blues

Yeah, I really don't wanna buy anyone. And I have 2k RP, which I can just spend on heroes and stuff later. Maybe another Rune Page.

edit: I'm also going to try and play kog'maw until I lose with him. Wow he's OP.

Finally: I think Sona is perhaps the best Support. She has sustain/armor buff, burst damage, and a little bit of CC.

[userpay]

Play Zilean. Escape death by turning back the clock. So many times.

I think I found my new favorite champ.

[tribble]

I bought gragas today, and have been playing him as an AP casker. I like it. Everybody sees my huge champion and assumes I'm a tank, so they ignore me and don't worry about the barrels OF DOOM.

I have a <20 lvl friend without mregen/lvl yellows, and he never has mana problems with Ryze except super early game. Just build tear and use other seals.

I like more rune pages first and foremost. Then I'd buy commonly banned/picked champs even if you don't play them so you can trade them to others/make the other team waste a ban.

Yeah, she's good, but it's hard to say best. It really depends on your team comp.

bigfatjiji runs Mpen/Armor/Mres/Movespeed

u mad bro?

...ppst, Spartacus, improve his skills with Nasus...

[Qwertystop]

AP casker.

Well punned, sir

[Spartacus]

Do tell. Because I really suck as Nasus right now.

It's mainly me nagging you about having a low CS and not last hitting with Q. Also, I can tell you some good items.

You really want to sustain in lane, so Philo Stone is golden. HoG is always nice for some tankyness, and since Nasus always wants a late game, gold/10 items work well for that. I personally get a Phage after that, as it makes last hitting easier (go from two hits after the tower to one, usually) and it makes you bulkier. After that, judgement call. I typically either get Glacial Shroud, FoN or finish Triforce, depending on if I'm winning the lane hard or not. Final build is Triforce, boots2, Frozen Heart, FoN, Banshee's, Warmog's.

EDIT: I was playing Portal 2. Shush.
