Actually, I was the Singed. Ryze just needed to walk up to me, snare-combo then walk off

[Cthulhu]

I got Shyvana :3  I like her quite a bit.  Jungling's still a little tough without runes but I can do it with a good leash.  I Singed the enemy teemo with ulted Burnout, let him chase me through the bushes to take off like a third of his health (he was at half when he started chasing me) then our Akali popped him as he came around the corner

First build BotRK on everybody. It's stupidly good.

Fixed that for ye.

Hahaha, not really. BotRK used to be good on everybody, but now it's not that great of a buy on some AD carries.

Hm. Guess I'll have to experiment with botrk sometime, then.

I did try it once, but that Thresh probably would have ruined me utterly no matter what I bought.

Singed vs Ryze is so painful.

People generally don't know how to play Singed or Teemo. It's not about doing damage it's about taunting the enemy team to chase you so they run into your poison/shrooms.

To counter Singed or Teemo you just basically ignore them, Teemo you might have to try and scare off a little bit which is easy as a ranged or mage but a bit harder as a melee but once you do a bit of damage on teemo he generally has to back off while Singed is much tankier and will keep coming in but chasing Singed is silly, and conversely trying to fight in a furball as Singed is silly, just get in, toss someone and get low health then get people to chase you.

Played as the Teemo in a Singed vs Teemo once.

That poor, poor Singed. Must have been his karma for playing Singed.


I would disagree about ignoring Teemo, though. His poke is way too good for someone who can't trade with him to just ignore him; they've got to either stay out of his way entirely or go all in and hope they succeed.

You do need to know the difference between going all in and dragging yourself through as many of his shrooms as he feels like dragging you through, however.

"We've got a ninja, a lizardman, and a punk. That means we should rush the heroes one at a time, right?"

[Cthulhu]

Saw Viktor was about to go off sale, bought him on a whim to avoid disappointment and future regret.

I am not disappointed.  This guy is a beast.  Augment death, boots, and haunting guise, and you're poking squishies for like half their health.  His E's max range is almost as far as Nidalee's spear.

So, I started playing LoL a few days ago, and decided to buy Garen. This guy is made of badass!

In my very first game with him, I was able to engage entire groups of champions and win. I was literally holding all three of the lanes, since all but one other guy in my team was either bad or afk. And even when it was pretty much a 3v5 match, I managed to hold off defeat for 50 minutes. By the end I had over 30 kills and was decimating entire minion stacks with an E. Probably the only reason we lost was that most of my team was following me around instead of laning.

Combat, so much combat.

Edit: Did it again, this time we won.

[Chaoswizkid]

Garen ownage.

Reminds me of a Malphite game of mine, went 23/10/16 (still have the screenshot) and the game lasted an hour and a minute. Almost from the start everyone on my team was raging and I was trying to calm them down. We lost mid, bot and our jungle, but I was destroying top lane. One of our team left in the hopes that the game ended sooner so that they could play another game (this was back in Season 1, some things were different). So it was 4v5, team morale was shit, but something strange kept happening. Every teamfight would have their team kill my team, but my teammates and I got them down low and I was able to get triple kills by cleaning up (and I wasn't just cleaning up, I ended up doing a lot of damage by myself). This happened several times until my team actually stopped fighting with each other and just followed me around and listened to me. The guy that left came back, saw that we had actually held the enemy off and were pushing them back and decided just to see where the game went. At one point, when two of them were arguing about something, one of them said "I don't care, I'm not listening to you. I'm only here because of Malphite."
Unfortunately, I couldn't carry the whole team. The enemy wisened up when their Skarner realized that I had 400 armor and 250-300 MR that I was just too damned unkillable. My team had silly builds and even though they banded behind me, they didn't trust each other to do anything useful.

That game made me feel awesome, but I was sad that we didn't win. It's an example of a game where morale alone could have changed the outcome.

[Skyrunner]

On the opposite end of the spectrum are games where morale was high but tactics weren't. I got fed early in mid lane by a troll Yi but didn't press the advantage. Everyone build MR and we lost. :<

You can have 600 kills, 0 deaths, 7000 cs, 12 barons, 16 dragons, and 60 teammates, but if your nexus falls, you still lose

Make use of your advantages while you can, because they can easily slip away.

[Flying Dice]

Sky, you mentioned the other day that Sejuani wasn't much use in duels, and was basically good for cc and setting up kills for the team. Now, I'm not denying that (especially early-game, <level 8ish, before you have many skill points or items built), but it seems like she turns into an absolute beast somewhere around level 13-14, at least with the direction I build her. Not just stuff like "knockup+slow and watch ap/ad grab it", but winning duels against things like equally leveled Fiddles and Aatrox, completely turning around team fights, etc. I mean, once I get my items built, that QWE combo will take a good chunk out of anyone with the initial burst, and the cooldowns are low enough to keep spamming it when they run. Most of the ganks I've done have been me dealing ~2/3 of the damage in my initiate and the few seconds after, and whoever else was there helping to clean up.

That first one was an awesome game for other reasons, it literally came down to a photo finish with them killing our nexus about one-two seconds before we would have killed theirs. They grabbed an early lead, one of our guys was AFK, and they managed to take down our Nexus turrets, but we came back, Aced them a few times, and the last time managed to push through to their nexus, but they had teleported to their bot minions and snatched the win.

Also, soloing the dragon <3

[Sharp]

Hmm I build Sejuani quite a bit differently. First off I would go for Spirit of Elder Lizard instead of Ancient Golem, I like the additional damage and I like to build Seju tanky enough so that tenacity really isn't needed and the extra damage helps clear jungle more quickly without having to use more spells. Yes Sunfire Cape, yes Abyssal, but I also run Sorc Shoes, I also like getting Rylai's, with Rylai's your slows practically freeze people, any champ pretty much gets to minimum move speed and then a Liandry's. If I want more health I might get Warmogs instead.

Though I have also run her with Spectral Wraith and Spirit Visage, Sunfire, Warmogs, Thornmail and Sorc Shoes, so much health and regen and spell vamp and armour that the enemy team need to burst you down with magicks to kill you which means all you have to do is hit the AP carry with your ult and then start chasing around the AD carry. And constantly invade enemy jungle just smiting all the time.

[frostshotgg]

God no, there is no reason to run Elder Lizard over Ancient Golem. I can't even process how retarded that is. His build is fine, particularly since he was carrying hard.

[Sharp]

I didn't say the build was bad anywhere, I just prefer running a different build. Tenacity on Sejuani is so un-needed because Seju has great dash, slow and stun and can be such a massive tank. I do prefer my Spectral Wraith build on her tbh but I don't play that much Seju jungle to get to try it out when I can just stomp with Zac top.
