<3 Swain. I loved him even more before his most recent nerfs, but he's still insanely fun.

I'd definitely prefer Flash over Ghost on Poppy, simply because you already have a speed boost and Flash can be used to very quickly position yourself to a stun. My spells on Poppy generally are Flash/Ignite.

Swain is one of the best Tanky AP champions in the game. I have no idea why he is considered "nerfed into oblivion" when he only got stronger in teamfights.

his snare can be tricky to hit without practice and people don't really understand his E; the fact that he's no longer nigh unkillable in lane while he's ulting means people who couldn't use him to his full potential before are now completely useless

dying a lot

2/5/4

Put it this way. I opened up the endgame. I don't think I was in one teamfight after 15 minutes. I was instead at one of their towers hacking away. My team were smart enough to only fight under our turrets which let me split push like a mofo. Then when they went to send one person down to stop me they couldn't do shit because I had 15 minutes of free farm. So they had to chose to either fight 3v4 or sacrifice a tower. I was rather happy with my play as we were really down and out before I started BDing.


This being because noobs think kills are everything. I'm glad noone has yet tried to call me out for being 1/5/25 as Sona, for the sake of such an idiot Only a matter of time mind.

Anyone know where that link to change the recommended items went? I can't seem to find it.


You only get 1 kill as Sona? o.O

I was used to being able to recover myself if I survived a teamfight/able to dish out sustained deeeeeeeeeps. Nerfing him the second time was unnecessary imo.

I've played against a lot of swains that didn't know how to play him. It's also incredibly frustrating how strong Ryze is against him.

He's alot weaker early game than he used to be, since you can't ult in a minion wave 1v1 and just win at full health.

Indeed. He's still a very strong top solo lane, but he can't really mid any more.

So I like jungling, but I want to move on past Warwick, but a lot of that is hard to do without getting runes/masteries... I really wanna try Nocturne the most.

Nunu can be done without runes, and he's much easier to jungle with than WW (personal opinion). Plus, his ganks are able to be done pre-level 6.

You aren't getting Noc done without a full set.

Cho, Nunu and Fiddle are your best bets with limited runes.

Trundle's doable as well, sans runes, but his ganking is not that great.

Without runes I've found him squishy, so he pops when he ganks. Then again, I haven't played Trundle since like two weeks after he came out.

Is it just me or is Riven going to be the new Trynd?

In terms of the number of dipshits that will be looking to play her.

I've been frustrated so much with Trundle that I completely stopped jungling with him. Nocturne is simply better right now than Trundle.

There are a few exceptions; Trundle > Nocturne vs a Rammus.

Is there some sort of comprehensive jungling guide?

Not for any particular jungler, just jungling in general.

Check out the Stonewall videos on youtube. He has some that cover the basics of jungling, rather than a specific champ.

Throw trundle up top. His sustain is just as good as Lanewick or lanedyr.

Also, Swain can most definitely mid.
