Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Twitch needs a new skin. Everyone but me plays Gangster Twitch, and that's boring. (I use Vandal Twitch)

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Funny how you say that, because everyone I know used Primal Udyr and the Legendary Vlad skin, but... that doesn't make either skin boring. To me, the Primal Udyr skin is so good it should be the basic skin for Udyr. The Vlad skin turned vlad from a boring icky mage into an awesome killing machine.
Actually, after much consideration, I've created the best vlad build ever:
Go middle, take Flash+Ignite or Flash+Ghost if you think you're gonna be ganked a lot. Get as much AP in runes as you think is safe (read: rune to the game, movespeed, AP, health, MR, CDR, Armor all seem viable and strong). Start boots + 3 HP pots
Level 1 Q (unless its a level 1 fight, then maybe W)
Level 2 W (or Q if level 1 you took W)
Level 3 E
Afterwards max R, Q, E
Items:
First buy should be Revolver, this is core.
Second Item should probably be either CDR Boots or Needlessly Large Rod
Regardless, get CDR Boots, and then get Deathcap you can now kill everyone
Get a Void Staff and then get whatever suits your fancy.
During laning:
Push, Farm, Ward
Once you have your Revolver Vlad is the most sustained middle in the game. He is outranged by certain heroes (probably Cass, in theory Orianna, Kennen) and obviously it really depends on the matchup whether or not you can, but the optimal strategy is to walk into the middle of the wave, and Q+E+Auto the wave down as fast as possible. Once you are at the enemy tower go and take your wraiths. Push again and take their wraiths. Do not be afraid to trade harass, or even take harass. Something to consider: The more you push the wave, the more "tankier" you become, because you are constantly spellvamping. You have an insane amount of lane sustain if you cane E all 6 minions and Q every time it comes off of cd. You can almost always outfarm the enemy middle by just pushing to tower. Against mana-based heroes without blue-buff, you can probably force them to use all their mana pretty damn fast. You completely stop the roaming ability of the other middle, and if they roam regardless, you take wraiths, you take wolves, you take tower. They can return to Middle with a kill, sure, but you got 2x their CS and their mid tower is 1/2 HP.
Teamfights:
You are vlad. Kill them.
More realistically: Try to get free Q+Es in. You can chunk for serious amounts of damage (This is why Vlad is broken: Burst damage of brand, but with CDs MUCH shorter). If you are ahead, don't be afraid to risk tower shots or being stunned. Unless the enemy can 100-0 you before you can pool, you can pool, ult, Q+E and flash away if they are still on you (or you can use Ghost before pooling and have OP mobility, or you could troll them with heal).
Once the teamfight starts ult as many of them as possible and then E as many of them as possible. The thing about vlad is that he is an AoE sustained damage mage. Don't be afraid to get into the middle of the enemy team: unless you are ignited your spellvamp makes you insanely tanky and your ult stacked with Q+E does incredible damage.
All the utility builds like Spell Pen+Abyssal, or Hourglass first or Rylais first just don't work for me. More AP = more HP More AP = more spellvamp. You don't need utility when you do so much damage that the enemy AD carry dies in 1 combo from an AoE Mage. In the words of Salce: "I play vlad because I like to 3 shot people."

Everyone needs a new skin
I'd like a new Trundle skin the most, though.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Well that went well.
Spoiler
Orianna is surprisingly squishy in lane. Especially when I'm accidentally running my support masteries and this hit 6 before her.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
I want a snowman skin for Trundle. I have no idea how it would work with his skills, but I just can't get the image out of my head.
They could even keep the weird hopping movement thing.Tarvek needs to die in a fire.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Utility?
AP = flat damage returns via bonus damage. MPen = multiplicative damage returns on both bonus damage AND base damage.
No stack r5 Tides of Blood: 160 base + .45 AP scaling damage.
Max stacks r5 Tides of Blood: 320 base + .45 AP scaling damage.
Also, spellvamp quints outscale flat AP quints.Last edited by ex cathedra; 2012-11-20 at 06:26 PM.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Ok, ty all. I guess I'll try Hourglass on a bruiser soon.
I've used Hourglass quite a bit, but it also gives offensive stats so I feel better building it. Also, since you can time it yourself, it can actually save you in a fight where GA would get you killed, by e.g. using it when an enemy activates a skill or something similar. I love it on Annie especially - she gets two skills off CD, and that means she's most likely getting another stun off...

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Hey, at least Twitch and Vlad have good skins in the first place. Look at Rumble, who's a year and a half old and still sitting at two really boring skins. Or Poppy, who was released close to three years ago and for whom at least six skins exist, but the only ones actually on sale are pretty darn generic.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
I have Vandal Twitch, Pentakill Sona, and and Headmistress Fiora, outside of the free one I get for fllowing Riot on Facebook.
I SHOULD have Unchained Allistair, but I have not idea why I don't.
Also: one of these days, I shall probably acquire the awesome Nunu Bot.
The only bad Vandal skin in my opinion is Jax.Last edited by Thanatos 51-50; 2012-11-20 at 07:37 PM.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
I've been playing AD a bit lately, and it's...not that hard. Compared to like jungle or top or mid, its so much easier. It's learnable, you can learn which AD carries you can trade with, with which supports you can make passive or aggressive plays with. You can win bot lane being a worse mechanical player. Just by knowing how to behave and respond. And its always warded so jungle is usually a non-factor. It's refreshing.
Not that I'm good at it, but I feel I am improving, and I am enjoying it.
The other not related thing I've been playing is Lee Sin, and having a ball. Don't care where I go, or even which map I'm on. TT, SR, Top, Mid, Jungle. Just so much fun. And you can pretty much fight anybody you want. And win, unless you mess it up horribly.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Actually, Tides of Blood stacks increase damage from AP, as well. Hence 600 damage AoE (I have NUMBERS EVERYWHERE enabled, so mid/late game I notice that, with a total "base" damage of 300ish you hit 600 damage with 4 stacks; this is on minions with Abyssal's).
So, max stacks Tides of AoE is 320 + 0.9 AP, basically.
On Vlad I generally go Revolver/Abyssal/Zhonya's for the resists (healing + free HP = buy resists, win game) and for the Double Troll Combo: Ult, EQ, trollpool, EQ, Zhonya's, EQ.

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
So, I recently broke my own rule and solo queued for PvP and auto-locked Twitch when I finally go into a game (There was something like six different drops for various reasons).
And not only did I get my fist First Blood, but it turned into a double kill (taunted a Mundo into a suicidal tower dive, then Venom cask'd the enemy Cho'gath), but I pulled it off solo bot, so that was nice.
Ended up going something like 10/5/14 (Finally got a laning partner in a Cho'Gath... he wasn't helpful, having done nothing but make me overconfident.) We won partially due to a pretty stellar Karthus that went 11/0/13.
Finally startd learning how to build properly instead of just playing a tight Twitch game. It was... satisfying.NaNoWriMo Beat Me

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Sorry for sounding stupid, but... "queue dodging"? What would the purpose of such a thing be?

Re: League of Legends XL: Season on Hold 'til Morello gets Gold
Ditching a game during champ select. It's done when people think the game isn't going to be any good and would rather deal with the penalty delay in re-queueing rather than play through a bad experience. Can be done for a variety of reasons, although a lot of them are kind of childish (ranging from 'somebody called the role I wanted to play/champ I wanted to play before I could' to 'somebody picked [champ I think is hopelessly weak], gg I'm gone' to 'oh god all four people I've been queued with just declared "mid or feed", I'm outta here.')
