New Haunting Guise looks interesting, but I'm not sure who will prefer mPen/movespeed over other items that can give you health/mana sustain (revolver/catalyst) that tends to be more important during the laning phase.

Well, Viktor is gonna like it, if you buy the upgrade which boosts your speed with Q. Superfast compared to most mages, and shield from Q as well, means you get away easily.

Ryze... should never have made him into the Q chaingunner he is today, they exchanged a questionable design that allowed for freedom of build for one that broke him and constricted him into getting the same kit every game or sucking. Not Riot's design at its finest.

Oh sweet and fluffy Lord, is this ever true. I tried an experimental build with Ryze last night against Intermediate bots, going bot lane and building Ryze as a CC support (leveling up that W snare first, then E+Q). Spectacular failure, especially coming against Singed/Blitzcrank. Snare duration is just too short, and not building Q early leaves him with essentially no firepower.

Also finally got around to playing Shaco. Yeah, I can see why he's a noob trap. And why playing against a skillfull one is so painful. And why having one on your team can be painful "oh hey, that almost-dead guy getting away from you? Q-stabitty stab. I'm helping!"

 I've been playing a bit of Nunu lately, I watch the following video every day to give me inspiration:

 As I understand it he is helping, because at worst he turned a solo kill into a kill plus assist, so more net gold for the team. KS = kill secured!

I heartily agree, but tell that to the people who act like you just shit in their cornflakes because you got the last packet of damage when they thought it should be "their" kill. 

I mean it's one thing if you have a melee char who's busy hacking away at an enemy (and doing a good job of it) and then Annie come skipping along and tosses a single basic attack at the last second. But most times it's a pitched battle, and you're trying to help out an ally and/or trying to stop a fleeing enemy from getting away. Oddly players who excel at that get yelled at by their "friends". Go fig.

Got my first pentakill in ranked today

I did it with tristana, had ie pd lw and just sat in the back melting whoever came near me. I play support like 90% of the time so its pretty rare for me to even get kills.

Also the win has tied my current rating of 1496 with my highest rating of 1496 

Just wanted to share with someone lol.

Even if annie takes the kill with a single auto attack, I'd prefer that over her not getting an assist. A kill + an assist is always better for the team then just a kill.

Depends actually. If your support would take all the last hits, they are gonna get their items quick but once the enemy focusefires it down, you have 4 guys with no gold whatsoever. Thats why same carry can't hog all the kills, if they die, rest of the team isn't gonna do jackshit.

So if your 18/3/4 Ahri is about to kill someone, feel free to KS from her. If your 2/5/11 Caitlyn is about to kill someone, don't KS it. Just don't.

[Repulsion]

I can understand serious kill-stealing, but the people who cry kill-stealer in the middle of a heated engagement are just silly. I was playing as Nunu with a Garen who cried KS frequently, but most of the times weren't on purpose. One time the enemy champion had retreated behind their tower and I killed him with an ice blast from Nunu. Garen cried kill-steal even though he would have died if he had dove.

But what really is more annoying that KS'ing, in my opinion, is buff stealing. I mean seriously, if you're a mage and about to grab blue buff and a Trynadamere comes out of nowhere and steals the buff... hnnng.

Seriously: "Lalala getting blue buff as Veigar oh hey Trynadamere has come to help me a bit just don't steal the buf- fffffffuuuuuu-"

[RedKing]

Admittedly, CDR from blue helps anybody. But yeah, I did that once by accident, early on. It was just "Oh look a friend is fighting a big rock guy. I WILL HELP U FRIEND! HEY WHAT ARE THESE FLOATY BLUE TINGS ROUND ME?" >_<


Why is it lately that any game where we have a Kennen, he turns out to be a total douchebag? Laned top with one as Taric, intent on playing pure support. Stuns + heals all day long. Dude starts raging when Ahri shows up to gank and gets the kill. Then starts raging at me when I wade in to help out with my big blinghammer and happen to get the last hit. And when I tossed a stun at a fleeing Ryze and happened to stun him just a wee bit too hard and killed him. And when I had done 60% of the damage to someone already, he tosses a lightning at someone, and then I hit and kill them and he just about lost it. Finally (after fair warning that I would do this the next time he bitched), I just stood there and let a near-dead Sona flutter right by me as he desperately tried to chase them down and got waxed by the tower, just to prove my point.

Don't piss off the support, they're ON YOUR SIDE. I love playing support in most games, but I can understand why people get sick of it in LoL. In most games, your teammates are thrilled when you heal them, debuff the bad guys, buff the good guys and can toss your own meager firepower into the mix. But not here.

Because you shouldn't steal his thunder. Ba-dum-tish.

On a more serious note: the game is psychologically engineered to create social frustrations. And not even Riots (and Valve's for that matter) 'fair play' crusade can fix the inherent issues that bring out douchebaggery.

[Frumple]

I wish I could parse that picture, because it looks like it's supposed to be hilarious. I wish I had regular access to a computer capable of playing LoL, heh.

"OMG dood shot lightning from his hands must be hax"

"OMG this big zombie looking guy built only health items and wasted our whole team...hax"

Spectator mode coming soon. To prevent cheating on live games, there is 3 minute delay.


This actually seems really good, if it comes within this month, I'm gonna be quite happy.
