Pool Party Ziggs, Astronautilus, and Arcade Sona are all out on the PBE now.

I've noticed a distinct change in the bot logic the last week or two. Way more grouping 4 or 5 in one lane and power-pushing. Makes it easier to win if you can split push hard in the undefended lanes, but if your team is kinda newbish, they're gonna get waxed in the teamfight trying to defend your lane.

Also noticed a change in Dominion, where not only did they mostly skip the first top turret to focus on the 2nd, but they actually more or less skipped the topmost turret to send 3 champs all the way onto your side of the map very early, with one straggler to cap turrets behind them. Disruptive as hell when you're not expecting it.

Also, why oh why is it that the first time I try out a champ and have no idea what I'm doing, I carry the whole team? And then I never capture that "lightning in a bottle" again. Went 10/1/14 first time as Kennen, followed by terribad games. Against bots.

So, after this huge-ass patch Syndra SINDRIIIIIIIIIII is in the champion page. Riot really needs to stop writing lore and just pay some random fantasy author bloke 10 euro or something.

Also Syndra looks just like Diana's alternate skin looks just like Zyra's alternate skin. This is getting ridiculous.

Tits + Flames + Spikes + Grimdark = SALES.

Female champion? Boobs or not viable

I'm still waiting for that alleged monster champion, haven't had a good one since Skarner (or any really).

Anyways, I'm sitting at 6k IP, ready to buy myself something shiny, since I've been all over the place (Ez is slowly getting stale, as is Garen, Panth got boring a long time ago, don't play many of the others really). What I'm looking at is some nice AP champs or something, I'm thinking Xerath mostly, maybe Viktor (but he's up for a rework it seems, so I'm not sure about that). Rengar looked interesting, but apparently he's weak, gotta try him first (next week probably), Syndra seems rather boring for some reason, especially the design.

Any ideas what's comming after Syndra?

[V-Norrec]

It's simple, you buy the Xerath and hit them under their tower from mid-lane.  Then, when you are fed, ult the teamfight, if your team doesn't win after that, wasn't going to happen anyhow.  Just hope you don't face a good Viegar... stupid ulti and trapping you in short range.

[frostshotgg]

AP Rengar is a riot and a half.  He also has higher ratios than AP Poppy or TF or Sion.

I remember hearing in an interview or something that the monster champion is slated to be released sometime this year. Also, I believe there is another assassin coming soon (it was in a post by Ezreal on the Riot forums).

If I had to choose between Xerath and Viktor I'd go Viktor.  I think Xerath suffers from how mobile a lot of champions are since I find he is more predictable than most mages. Also I found Viktor more fun to play, partly because I like his voice over and partly because chunking squishies with his laser is always fun. They would not be champions I'd recommend blind buying, they both have a unique feel and I'd definitely recommend playing them a bit if you haven't already.   

For me the most fun mage to play is Orianna.  Since her cooldowns aren't terribly long you're always always doing something in a teamfight. Unlike say Morganna who casts her spells and hopes for the best (though it usually DOES turn out for the best since it is Morganna). 

[RedKing]

Yeah, Orianna is very much a "busy" champ. You're constantly having to think and react. But she's fun because most people don't expect that much out of her, whereas a very well-played one can singlehandedly wreck your collective shit. My favorite *loss* in LoL was when an enemy Orianna completely waxed the floor with us while the rest of her team was going 0/10 and dying to minions and towers and such.

[Jopax]

I played both of them, but it was a while ago, that doesn't matter, got Xerath in the end. He's quite nice to poke with but somehow lacklustre, not sure why, his damage is tremendous (ult does some 1k of AoE damage in a few seconds), I just don't feel it. Not sure how to explain, like, with Viktor, when you E someone and it burns a third of their hp you feel the weight of the damage you did, like you are literally cutting a piece of them off. With Xerath, you also take off a third of their hp, but it doesn't really connect that it was you who did it, or something, I think it's because of his visuals, the ability effects seem kind of weak and thin.

But anyways, as far as gameplay goes, it's fun to poke people, but his W is rather crappy, maybe because I was against two champs who both had dashes and a silence but I never did like using it, because by the time my stun fires they are either on me and have sileneced me or are already out of range, depending how far they were intially.
