I've been playing LoL for one week and a bit for some time now. I've discovered the awesomeness of Jax:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I still died alot on that one though. But yea, Jax dominates almost any game in which your lane partners aren't pants-on-head retarded, you play him right and get Atma's Impaler. That of course, is a valid statement for lotsa champions, I just love him that much.

The rod of ages is really a great item but you shouldn't aim for it right off the bat, with most mage champions at least. Stuff like catalyst (I think thats even one of the equips used in it, but I'm not sure) and decent boots often come first. I learned that the hard way playing fiddlesticks.

[Fikes]

Enemy team comp in that game was pretty terrible. Both stuns on that team were hard to use. If you jump in after vagir his only chance is to run away and put up his stun thing behind him. No one else can save him.

Against a team with an easier to use/lower cool down form of CC Jax would have been toast.

Also, you should never go 1v1 with Ryze, it is just bad. In general running in as a melee character against someone with a stun will result in dealth. A 2 second stun is 2 seconds without life steal + 2 seconds of damage from them.

The trick with characters like Jax or Shaco has always been to know your targets and go for them. You have to wait until Ryze blows his rune prision or Annie blows her stun. Same is true of Fiddle. It is incredibly important to let your tanks or soaks put the enemies into cool down mode and on the flip side it is important to save your get out of jail free card, like blind, on hiemer or Teemo.

I have been kind of considering making a new account and running around with Shaco again or something. I don't think level 1-15 people are prepared for the things you can do.

If you don't get rod of ages in the first 15 minutes, you start really limiting how much value you can get out of it as therod has less time to build up.

Finally new map was announced. It's 5vs5 and it looks like fun. Also kudos for graphics improvements.

[Strange guy]

I'm slightly worried about the graphic improvements- my FPS is already not the best, but perfectly playable- and I'm worried that may change. Still it might not, and a new map is very nice considering how few there are now.

[kilakan]

well they arn't changing the engine,  just polishing up some edges and stuff like that, so it shouldn't hit ya to hard.

<3 being the best heavy-damaging pursuit caster in the game.

CAST SUM MOAR SLOWS, IT HELPS ME CHARGE UP FORCE PULSE FASTER >:3

[cganya]

rod of ages only takes 15 mins to charge up, sit it is still usually viable at the 30-35 min mark. most games i'm not winning end up lasting 45-60 mins

[Jopax]

A friend talked me into playing this with him a week or so ago, having some fun, it's much more fun than DotA which i never liked.Also Fiddlesticks is very awesome, especially when you manage to do a sneaky ulti on an unsuspecting group of enemies, always makes me laugh
Besides that Nasus is pretty fun too, but i bought him only for the looks

Wait until you go up against Vladamir (the vampire/bloodmage guy)

His pool dodges all of fiddles ulti's damage. It's a bug.

[janekk]

Wait until you go up against Vladamir (the vampire/bloodmage guy)

In EU version its vampire/poopmage  .
And I'm surprised that he avoids fiddles ulti with pool, as far as I know all aoe abilities should work on him. I know he is very nice target for Karth's bombs.

@cganya
RoA maxes out in 15 minutes, its efficient/viable/cost effective much earlier, someone did the math, can't find it at the moment.

@Jopax
Well played Fiddle is recipe for ragequits. Find Amumu buddy for maximum pwnage. If you'll write your nick and server I can add you to player list in first post.

[Jopax]

Djoze on the US server, and i almost made a ragequit in a match earlier, a poor sod which was playing Master Yi was on the middle lane with Veiger against me, they never stood a chance.And i do love hove they tend to freak out when i teleport just between them, or they think they can take me because Fiddle tends to be fragile, poor bastards

[Pandarsenic]

Vladimir dodges everything with pool and it FILLS ME WITH RAGE

[Micro102]

Vlad's body goes underneath the map, most AoE's don't damage him because the range doesn't go below the map, yet CC does.

[Jopax]

Ok screw Urgot, i'm getting myself Fiddle, i just had an epic murder frenzy, i was a bit sucky at first, being paired up with morgana on middle, dying a few times, but all that changed in the last 15 minutes, the enemy team was pushing bottom very hard, all of them were there, then Nasus starts chasing our low hp Ramus and almost kills him in front of our base, i charge in fire off my first three abilities on him and get him to run with less than a quarter of hp, all this time the fight near our tower is raging on, and having one thing left i fire of my ulti in the middle scoring four kills, then sometime later i do the same thing, only this time i killed only two people with it

[Pandarsenic]

So I just tried out Alistar for a second.

A short summary:

I backdoored four towers. FOUR TOWERS. That's RIDICULOUS. Sure, the enemy gets fed off me every time I can't make it out, but that doesn't matter if you no longer have half your inhibitors. .-.
