CHRONO WHAT HAPPENED!? D:
We lost (derp)

4v5... but we held our own well enough >>;

My net crashed. I knew I shouldn't have pushed my luck.

I'm at uni atm.

But my Home net ought to be fixed by tonight.

And I eat Xeraths. Om Nom Nom.

By themselves, they're nothing more than a snack. They need a second person just to provide enough DPS to take me out. Then I ult Xerath and eat him anyway.

<---still think it's the mac champion pack they gave to people to make up for discontinuing the client

It must be that. We queued up for a game last night and all of a sudden I had twice as many champs to choose from excluding the free ones of the week. I was like, uh, WUT. But then PEG got

really

excited and convinced me to play Gankplank for the first time. I didn't get very many kills, but I got tons of assists! Haha.

Anivia, Blitz, Corki, Dr. Mundo, Gankplank, Jax, Karthus, Kassadin, Katarina, Master Yi, Shaco, Sion, Soraka, Taric, Twitch

Did anyone else with a mac get anything like that?

[xRECKONERx]

oh I'd LOVE that pack

[xRECKONERx]

Corki is fucking awesome. Play him.

[tanstalas]

Another update?

Serious?

[xRECKONERx]

I've realized I only truly enjoy playing AD carries

Maybe I just haven't tried out the right AP carries/tanks, and I don't have the runes to jungle... who are considered the best AP carries & tanks in the game? I tried Shen out and hated him.

Another update?

Serious?

They're trying to hotfix away all the problems the Xerath patch somehow caused. Looks like the worst ones are fixed now, though.

Have you tired any off tanks / anti carries?

Irelia is really a lot of fun and late game you'll find yourself tanky as hell - you really can turn the tide of battle in your teams favour.

Nasus is a fun tanky char and singed is alright too. Poppy is a very nice anti carry, a bit tricky to play (positioning for E) but other than that a lot of fun.

[Knight of Cydonia]

Why did I ever stop playing Soraka. Goddamn it, 1/9/1 Riven who doesn't speak a word of English, I'm going to drag you over the finish line 55 minutes later, kicking and screaming if I have to.
Their Malzahar hated me by endgame, every time he tried to ult I just ran in and hit E.

I got the smexy new Cait skin

Also bought Xerath. He's really interesting, but I'm not sure what his role should be, exactly. He doesn't do great DPS in my limited experience with him, but he's also not tanky enough to take shots. He's clearly not support, and I doubt he could jungle... so he's just ranged? His stun isn't even that great, FTR. I could potentially see him as a solo top, but early game his Locus of Power cooldown is way too long to sustain long range for any considerable amount of time.

I agree. He is not that great, just played him as well, he is way too squishy and he can't even kill someone 1on1 if the other person is competent, unlike Veigar.

I built him to about almost 500ap and my ult was still only doing about 500 damage. Granted you can fire it off 3 times before it goes on CD but I prefer veigar's 1k ult one shot ult.

I still get a c++ error after we launch from character select.

If I navigate to the "deploy" folder of LoL then run that exe I can get back into the game.

Just a bitch.

If anyone else is having that issue where you get disconnected after champ select and get a C++ error, do that.

Er....I think you're neglecting Xerath's range; And his AOE's.

1K damage to ONE person? or 500 damage 3 times to 3 People at the same time!?

P sure Xerath could rape Veigar hard, 1v1 or otherwise...

[Patrick]

It's chalk and cheese, of course Veigar does more damage, he's the biggest burster in the game. Veigar struggles against most mids, and I'm pretty sure that includes Xerath. They're both mages but should be played completely differently.

[Ankamius]

Veigar completely destroys every single mage in the entire game once he's farmed enough. That's pretty much a fact.

EDIT: Also, Shen is pretty much by far the worst tank. Try Alistar or Malphite.

[Brandi]

If he can get in range of them, sure. Even if Veigar has 10,000 AP, it's pretty meaningless if he's stunned/ not close enough to hit his target. :B

[Ankamius]

Same if any other mage gets stuck in Veigar's stun.

[Brandi]

If he can get in range to stun them ;p

[Brandi]

Plus, Veigar is short. :troll:

[mykonian]

and veigars early game sucks. And his early game takes quite long.

If you want to jungle, try it with Nunu or Warwick first. Nunu's able to do it without runes, and can even do it without Smite (For the love of Christ, DO NOT EVER JUNGLE WITHOUT SMITE). Nunu's also one of a small number of tanks who can build pure tank and still do some serious damage with his ult. He also forces the enemy team to waste interrupts on him, or scatter. His ganks are extremely strong as well, and his buff from W is great when put on to an AD carry.

For AP Carries, Veigar is really fun to play, same with Annie. Both have frankly insane amounts of damage, with Veig being able to melt almost any AP carry in the game immediately. If you want a non-standard caster, Orianna is really strong, as is Vlad. Vlad's not the best one to start with, especially if you don't play carries that much, since he needs a lot of weirder item choices to be good early game.

Also, you don't NEED runes to jungle. You need runes to jungle some champs, and you need runes to jungle others efficiently. but they are not necessary. I used to jungle Nunu/WW with the small amount of runes I had accrued, and it's quite safe to do. Save up for Health Quints, and it gets easier as well.

[pickemgenius]

Shen is great idk. I used to really dislike him also.

[Quaroath]

Shen is a finesse tank

[Chronopie]

I'm a fan of Rammus for tanking. That and AoE disrupts in Dom.

--

If I see a Nunu ult, I usually (as Poppy obv) charge him and break it early, for reduced damage.

[Ankamius]

and veigars early game sucks. And his early game takes quite long.

That's why Veigar's not one of the top casters in the game right now. Although his AP ratios are extremely good (1.0 on W and 1.1+0.8(?) on R with free AP?) and his stun is ridiculously broken if you aim it correctly, he has trouble laning against just about everyone. If the metagame switches to AP/Support (LOL), then Veigar probably would become a decent pick.

Also, Veigar's range on his stun is higher than you would think, since the range specified is simply the center.

--

Shen's bad because his Q is really bad outside of laning phase, his W doesn't give enough for the cost, his E is expensive as hell, and his R's shield got super nerfed.

[pickemgenius]

afk push as shen alllllll day. fuckall is gonna kill you with rylais+tank items. people coming? np just ult to rest of team and rape.
