Wooo, I actually managed to carry a game which was almost lost by terrible teammates. The opposing team was equally bad (especially a Singed that fell 2 levels behind me in laning and got 1/5 of my CS), so I managed to go 20/7/13 as Yorick. The end started to feel like a bot game.

Back up to 1300 Elo!

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also got a triple kill while dead.

Tried Maokai yesterday, goddamn he's fun. Beat fiddlesticks to a pulp in lane with him. He has good lane sustain, great harass, good CC, great tankyness. People who say his saplings become useless during the late game obviously don't use them as short duration wards, you can give your team alot of map vision before they expire. His Q is sort of lackluster, but at least you can use it to interrupt channeling.

You're not that Mao that lanes with a dps and maxes Saplings first, are you?

[Dakk]

Ofc nae, I get 1 level in sapplings so I can spread them around and have vision over the whole lane for a small mana cost, though. But anyways, I tend to end up leveling it along with twisted advance, its good harassment in the early game. I do get a level in Q for combo'ing with W, though.

So, pure tank Cho'Gath.  This is currently waht I'm looking at, how should I modify it?  I keep hearing how great Catalyst is on Cho'Gath, is it really essential and what should it (And Rod of Ages, I assume?) replace?

Merc Treads, Aegis, Angel, Randuin, Force-a-Nature, reactive defensive item (Banshee, Thornmail, etc.)

[Dakk]

Cho enjoys a bit of AP, and he makes good use of every stat rod of ages gives, so yea, rod of ages is nice choice on him. Banshee's only becomes really useful later on anyways.

I bought Commando Jarvan since he was on sale. Now I really, really like playing as Jarvan and do amazingly well. He actually looks cool now with an actually fun weapon (though he still sounds like he has a stick up his ass).

It was the same with Xin Zhao. I did really bad as him until I got the commando skin... then suddenly I was imbued with the hidden Xin Zhao talent!

Proof that Riot sells power! Skins affect your gameplay! 

[Wravburn]

Maybe I should reconsider then. Am about to buy the Jarvmeister, but when I saw the skin sale I had to cry. I'm not that fond the commando skins. I'm sitting on my RP like a goose, intending to only buy skins on sale.. but I think I can put that sock of RP back on the attic with this attitude.

I only wish that Commando Lux changed her spell textures to fire, because doubled-ended goddamn flamethrower.

But nope. : (

[ECrownofFire]

I kind of want to get Crabgot, personally. I'm just not sure if I should wait for a sale or not.

Pretty much this, but then again i was doing pretty boss with him even without the skin ^^

[umiman]

I think I personally become more invested in a character when I get a skin for them. It's just an innate morale boost. It might also slightly intimidate the enemy but that's just pure speculation. I know that when I see champions like Singed, Warwick, Trundle, Urgot etc. with skins... I piss my pants.

I also wish the Lux skin had fire Akigagak...

[Cthulhu]

Is this real life?

EDIT:  Should've covered up his name as a courtesy.  I just went through some of his other games.  My favorite is when he rocked Tear, two Zeals, and Negatron as Ryze.  What a champ.

Surfer Singed, man. Scariest thing in LoL to see on the enemy team.

[Knirisk]

I am very despondent about so many people instalocking Mordekaiser. Having finally tried Mordekaiser myself...holy shit, he is powerful. How the hell are people getting such terrible terrible TERRIBLE scores with him? He tanks shit and blows turrets up as soon as he gets a Children of the Grave on you. I've seen so many retarded Mordekaisers INITIATING with the ultimate.

Maokai is very fun. His early/midgame is quite powerful, but you need to stomp the enemy into submission midgame or else they WILL become more powerful than you once everybody finishes their build. At that point, hope to God your team is relatively competent because that ultimate is nothing to scoff at. (although I did, at first. 20% doesn't seem like a lot. )

[Bluerobin]

Yeah 20% seemed really low until I realized that basically (mathematically anyway) turns a 5v5 into a 5v4 in terms of damage. Then it blows up.
