Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
To play for fun?
Alistar, no question. I like making the big plays, simple as that
I recently bought Kennen and he's great fun, especially in blind pick matches where nobody but me bothers to farm and I run around like a maniac killing people.
To play in ranked (or just more competitively in a normal game)?
Warwick. Most of my ranked games so far have been on TT as I have 2 friends I usually do ranked with, and WW is incredibly good at shutting down enemy bruisers. He isn't the most exciting champion but he's an extremely hard to shift laner.
For the looks/feel of the character?
Kog'Maw. I love his overall look, his dance, and his skins (the butterfly is good and the firework skin is my favourite skin in the whole game - don't own it though). I also think it's cool to melt enemies by vomiting all over them!
Obviously Teemo too. Love that lil' guy. Astronaut skin is the 2nd best in the game.
Because of 1 defining ability/characteristic?
Hard to argue with Veigar's combo. I seem to lose a lot of games with him but still farm up 800+ AP and go round gibbing people and running away while my team screw up everything all day long! I don't play many games with Veigar any more though, as he's just utterly lacking in versatility and completely dependent on your team being able to follow up on your taking out an enemy.
For a single ability, I'd go for Kog's R, because I don't play at a high level and I'm pretty decent with skillshots, so people get sniped all day long when I play as AP. Double kills on enemies sat under their towers? Yes please!

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
My friends at work have indirectly convinced me to try LoL. Will be trying to night, they suggested Nasus as the best for me to learn on that is free atm.
Wish me luck.Computer use and information blog at:

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
Nasus is a weird champ to learn to start playing with because he kind of requires you to immediately learn not only last hitting, but last hitting with a specific skill, and you have to immediately learn the "attack, then use an AA skill to attack again immediately" trick that not every champ uses. He's a pretty easy champ besides that, but it's a bit different than most champs.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
Will you be trying on your own, or with someone guiding you? In either case, you should start with the tutorial, and then play against bots instead of humans, at least for one or two games. Understanding some of the basics before that would help too. There's probably a good video for that somewhere, but I don't know where, and the first post doesn't have one either.
Does anyone here know of a good introductory tutorial or guide for LoL? Video format would likely work best. It seems like it'd be very nice to have it in the first post.Last edited by endoperez; 2012-03-28 at 11:01 AM.

Nasus is an exception. xD Trying to 1v1 Nasus as an AS charrie is just silly.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
Trying to 1v1 Nasus as anyone who isn't Ryze, Karthus or Cass is probably going to end poorly, assuming you're 25-30 minutes in and Nasus has not been shut down.
Regardless, I can't imagine the usual roster of tanky DPS duelists (Jax, Warwick, Olaf, etc.) would have much trouble with Lulu. She could probably beat most AD carries in the midgame, I guess.Last edited by fred dref; 2012-03-28 at 11:26 AM.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
That's actually a bit untrue. Nasus is a bruiser through and through, but just doesn't come into his own until later, when his Q is nicely stacked with damage (+3 permanent extra damage per kill gained using his Q). He doesn't really have a lot of support or utility, although he has a rather nice slow/attack speed reducing ability.
Instead of being a support/utility, he likes to play passively and sit by himself in a lane farming up damage, and then he'll swoop into team fights with some really brutal damage.Last edited by Djinn_in_Tonic; 2012-03-28 at 12:10 PM.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
That moment when teamfights have been brutal 3 for 3 affairs all game, then Nasus decides to start teamfighting.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
While Nasus does do really well in 1v1s, even fairly farmed he can be beaten by AD carries that can kite (see: Anybody with a dash+a mallet and possibly mercs), and some people can legitimately threaten him with similar farm (Skarner/WW can reasonably heal through his Qs and survive wither, and Nasus just doesn't have a lot after that besides ult popping for a single champ). Nasus is great in 1v1 against a vast majority of champs and can easily shut down two people in a teamfight (one with Wither, one with pain) if he's farmed, but "wins 1v1 against everybody but three carry mages" isn't necessarily true. Hell, if Nasus avoids wall, Karthus shouldn't be a problematic matchup at all.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
Yep. I've actually found mages the least of my concerns, if I have Banshee's or FoN (and Nasus should have one of these), and maybe Mercs. If they can't kill me outright in a combo, I'll down them in two hits, and can probably catch them with Wither/Phage/Mallet/Triforce (pick one or more). I'm much more afraid of tanky, high-damage characters, who can sometimes manage to 1v1 me if they play well, or farmed carries with natural escaping ability and long range (Vayne, Ezreal, Tristana can all really mess up Nasus' day if played right).

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
I don't think there is ever a point Anivia can get to 1000 damage spikes on a tanky character, thanks to that pesky mr thing. Yes, Anivia can kite well, but if she misses anything or, hell, Nasus just withers and barrels through/around, he can smash her pretty easily.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
Then you run. Congrats...a mage you don't fight except in team fights. Yeah, there are exceptions (Anivia being one)...but Nasus can definitely escape that, and if he DOES get within range Anivia is in serious trouble.
She's about as good a hard counter as he has though. You're definitely correct there, due to the fact that she has THREE abilities that keep Nasus away, two of which he has no real counterplay against (wall + AoE slow).Last edited by Djinn_in_Tonic; 2012-03-28 at 12:40 PM.

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
To play for fun?
Singed. I love having a hissing sound as I'm running around like a madman dripping stuff and have opposing heroes SCATTER BEFORE ME
To play in ranked (or just more competitively in a normal game)?
Cassiopeia or Kennen. Cass because of her raw power and strong team fight presence. Kennen because energy-based AP carries are awesome.
For the looks/feel of the character?
Gangplank. Since Tides of Blood (anyone remember that tragically awesome War3 MOBA map?) I've always liked piratey heroes. Gangplank has nice voicing and skins, so always a pleasure playing him, usually only on Dominion or as Supportplank
Because of 1 defining ability/characteristic?
Lux. aaaaaaaAAAAAHHH DEMACIA!

Re: League of Legends XXXII: Cupcakes and Kittens and Squirrels. Oh my!
I've found Tristana and Ezreal to be the only carries that can really threaten a Nasus, mainly because Ezreal does decent damage with Q even when Withered, and Tristana has the escape/knockback to disengage and the range to get some hits in before Wither goes off. I've never had trouble with Vayne past the lane phase.
If Karthus has Rylai's, you're gonna have a bad time.
Warwick, Yi and Olaf are three that I forgot about when making my sweeping statement. Warwick does most of his damage through Q anyway, and Yi/Olaf completely ignore Wither. I've never dueled a Skarner, but he seems really reliant on attacking things for the CDR to truly shine.
Eldariel, I have never faced a good Anivia player, but I imagine Anivia can easily just say NOPE if she sees a Nasus running at her face.
