So I'm getting back into LoL now that I live with people who play it regularly which has re-kindled my love for Dominion. Today I decided to re-learn Dominion and picked up Gnar figuring if I was going to lose a bunch of games while I re-learned the map I might as well have fun and learn a new champion. However instead I learned that the Elo decay is real and Riot foiled by cunning plan to lose my way to being decent again.
I did however enjoy Gnar immensely, his kit is quite well suited to Dominion as well, the map allows him to largely bypass his weak early game and rewards his mobility and poke. Boomerangs difficulty is really overhyped, it took a bit but once you're familiar with when it calculates its return path you can predict it fairly easily. The main difficulty I had was the sheer cast time on Mega-Gnars abilites, the other team was able to interupt his non-ult skills fairly easily. I followed the cookie cutter BoRK -> Tank build which I think is the correct build path for him but I am tempted to experiment with a Shiv if I'm against a team with a low number of gap-closers.

So these are fucking awesome. You have to get the Advocaat from a specialty store or import it though, at least around here bars don't carry it. If you're in California, Bevmo carries it.
Not a huge midori fan but i'd probably try the lulu one.

I grew up on that stuff (at least, that's what I'm told... also might explain some things)

We did those mixed drinks last year when Grimm's work threw a world's viewing party.

I might have to steal Singed Insanity Potion one for work.

Insanity Potion sounds awesome but then again I like Angry Orchard so.

It's probably ddos.
Ddos is really easy to pull off

That's always counted my hours wrong. I checked like a year ago and I was at 30 days. Then I checked a month ago and I was at 32ish. And now I'm at 29.

Both Singapore teams spam the fuck out of it, so much so that tpa permabans have against them

But if you don't get a BF sword your f irst back you're kinda meh until mid-late
Your build sucks.
Tear rush, next item varies by playstyle. The sentinels and f5 midlaners go different things (and they are the only people whose Jayce opinions count other than that Korean challenger guy)

Just because something is the ideal build in professional team play against professional players does not mean that it is an ideal or even relatively desirable approach in ranked silver solo queue.
Not that I disagree that Tear is really comfortable. Just saying.

The hours are kinda off because I'm pretty sure it's counting the time the client is open rather than the time that you spent in games.
At least I hope so. Otherwise I spent 1/7 of my life since I started playing league non-stop.

I build tear if I don't have enough for the BF
I just like to rush the new lifesteal mana thing

From what i have heard it's based on the IP you've gained (so is rather off if you buy IP boosts)

So in other words you give up a huge late game power spike for a pretty meh early game power spike.
Muramana + IE late game with fully leveled W is beautiful (My max crit is like 1.4k)
Not only can you 2 shot the Carry late game (which is beautiful) you can duel most tanky champs so well (Jax type champs)
I have gone against a full health full build jax as half health jayce at the end of a team fight, and lost with him on 100 health (and to be fair it was because i failed to change forms when i should have)

Also just as a point, something that benefits late game is better in ranked silver because of the lack of closing out a game.
(meaning you have time to hit a massive power spike)
