I'm Riven. Other Team is GP, Morde, Amumu, Leona, Graves. I'm top against GP. Do you build Merc Treads because of their CC or do you build Tabi because of GP? I chose Treads and got raged at cause I died after Galio and mundo had already died to GP.


Like DRK said, just get a Chain Vest if you need armor on top of the Mercs. You'll usually build it into an Atma's or a Thornmail or something later on.

Strong, fun, not super-viable because it requires you to put a mage at melee range with no resistances.

Strong early and decent mid game, weak late game.

Mercs 100%.

Also this, more generally. Post-laning, the Tabi bonus seems only worthwhile against super scary levels of physical damage.

Top tier troll build. Hilarious if you can stack a mejai's. Probably going to turbo feed otherwise.

He doesn't care unless you ignite him.

I think AP Yi is early and mid and if he gets ahead due to his ultra strong early game, he can just steam roll the whole oppsing team with his AoE.

AP Yi superfun but superdumb.

I always start my laneyi with a doran's ring, though, and my runepage is my jungle mao runepage (AS Reds and AP quints). It gives him awesome early sustain and harrass. I then build into regular AD things.

Anyone with questions about AD, ask me ingame; I'm willing to answer them.

Syndfull (forgot who you are on MS; Hinduragi(?)) and I did a 1v1 AD yesterday and I think he learned at least a few things from the experience.

That's me. And yeah, it was fun. If you want, I can support you in some normals. I think it'd be easier to see with the supports there in an actual game.

So ONM is probably going to be attempting Go4LoL tomorrow.
Yep
. This is going to be the first real test of our line-up (currently I'm jungling, Shanba top, Patrick mid, peg AD, BBM support; our bench consists of Izzy, bev, and scot). I don't have super super high hopes for us - my own personal goal is to just win one match, so if we manage that I'll consider it a success (and if not, we'll at least have something to analyze and work on). The main worry is that I'll fail at jungling (the only jungle champs I play that I have faith in in a competitive setting are Skarner/Maokai/Nautilus, with big maybes on Riven/Lee Sin/Hecarim), so you'll have a first-person perspective of where things will go wrong (if they do).

Tune into my stream (or possibly peg's) at ~3 PM EST (probably starting streaming during check-in, just to record the entire thing) to watch the first attempt (that I know of) of a full team of MSers in Go4LoL.

Careful guys. I've been in Go4Lol 3 times with a fairly strong team (everyone was skilled 1600+) and we've never gotten past the second round. Twice we were against Goose, once against a team that got around 6th or something.

which is why our goal is to get past the first round only

but thanks for your patronizing lack of confidence in us and implication that we aren't skilled and are a fairly weak team

It could just as easily been any other top level team in the Go4Lol. The fact that it was Goose instead of them means absolutely nothing. The other team mentioned only entered around twice.

If you take that as lack of confidence, whatever. All I'm really saying is that the likelihood of going against a top or near top leveled team is really high.

This was the first image result for "unnecessary hostilities"

I have no idea what's happening but whatever it is I'm pretty sure it's unnecessary




also where the fuck is everyone? Team BRU BAFF? in particular is conspicuously absent from LoL tonight. :(

I've switched back to the EU server for the foreseeable future and have been having incredible amounts of fun on my new EU account by rolling over people with AP Nunu.
Incidentally, this means I have a US account with a lot of shit on it that I'm probably no longer going to use, if anyone would be interested.

Fiora's still broken. So is the client. Better nerf Irelia.

Which really made me sad, since the original was pretty great.

But who did you kill for the quadra? ?_?

You killed them so fast the client didn't have time to recognize it? <_<

I got full stacks with AP Yi once :D And a quad. Or maybe two

I tried crossing over to AD, lategame with him. As in, after I bought Rabadons and Lich, I got a PD, an IE, and started building a bloodthirster.
Interestingly enough, it was half-viable.
I went 11/5/16 or something.

So guys.

I need an intervention, I've started playing eve and I've won three games out of three with her. I don't want to become addicted to something bad for me, but it feels good.
don't you feel silly now?
