[Flying Dice]

The problem I tend to encounter is that even if I manage to force him to back off early-game, he still drops poison on the mobs, which means that I can't effectively sustain with spellvamp/lifesteal early on. Maybe it's just that particular harass style, but I've yet to encounter a Singed who does anything but run in, drop poison,  maybe flip me further into it, and then back off again. If I chase I will drop too low and die, or not catch him because I'm avoiding the trail. If I stay I lose health and by the time I regain what I've lost he's already come back and harassed again. If I back off I still have to deal with poison, and he takes over the farm. Basically, I don't have much of a problem ganking a Singed under other circumstances, but I really can't deal with his lane harass, especially when the player basically never comes into melee range, so I have a choice between taking a little damage for no return or chasing and dying.

Basically I can keep him off while I farm early on, but I take damage for no return unless their player is really daft, and once he hits level six trying to nail him when he can see it coming is at best a zero-sum-game, which is usually when I start roaming. God forbid they send a second player top, then I either call for help or feed. I probably need to work on my Q+E more to get a better feel for the outer range it works at, so I can intercept more effectively.

All Singed players do that. The more daring ones run past your tower and take out your wave preemptively.

The thing about Singed is you mostly ignore what he does, and never ever chase a singed on low health. In a teamfight you kill everyone except Singed and take him out last. If you're adc, a Blade of the Ruined King will help melt singed, since he's tanky from HP.

Also, he's not that useful before he gets a Tear or catalyst, so try ganking him.

[Sharp]

Akali Q has decent range, every time he comes in to poison you just Q him, if he comes really close then E as well, you should be able to out-sustain him in lane. Doran's blade as a starting item is ok on Akali to get you that AD to improve your spellvamp and helps with your E's and last-hitting. The longer you can keep singed from getting a catalyst the better, once he has that he can farm pretty easily without much fear of dying.

God daaaamn I'm glad I resisted the temptation to get Full Machine Viktor.

We'll apparently be getting a Battlecast Kog'maw and Skarner soon, and there's something else in the background of Creator Viktor's splash skin.  I think it kind of looks like Thresh, or it might be a new champ entirely.  I hope it's a support, that way we can have a full Battlecast team.  Kreator Wiktor leads from mid with Battlecast Prime Cho'gath up top, Battlecast Skarner jungling, and Battlecast X supporting Battlecast Kog'maw on bot.

Battlecast Urgot languishes, unloved :c :c :c

First game with Kreator Wiktor, me and Yi pretty much won 2v5, our Sona quit before the minions spawned and our Warwick/Ashe were deadweight

[Sharp]

I think Royal will win. Don't think I'm going to be able to stay up to watch the match live though, so sleepy

[IronyOwl]

I never saw SKT vs Najin, but I think Royal's got it too. Fnatic was really good, and they just dominated them. I can't imagine SKT's got that much of a chance.

[baruk]

 Just to be contrarian, SKT to win 3-2. Royal probably the favourites since they beat OMG in the quarterfinals 2-0, when SKT went 1-1 against OMG in the group stage.

I just had an insane game with Pengo.

Our team: Ahri, Rengar, Darius, Corki, Fiddlesticks.

The enemy was Nautilus Zyra Lee Sin Blitzcrank Thresh, and they pulled off a successful invade. Thresh and Blitzcrank roamed all game long, getting killed by Corki a few times and bot was pushed in single-digit minutes. At first it seemed like they were winning, but soon Corki grew to have insane damage, and Fiddlesticks CC'd everyone the whole day long, while Darius and Rengar instantly killed anyone who was stupid enough to be alone.

I'm not sure what they were going for... trolling?

Could be. Could also be they were going for an early game victory, which tends to work really well when it works and fail really hard when it fails. If you don't crush them utterly from the beginning and then end it quickly, they just outscale you and you look dumb.

Holy crap. Shows what I know.

Game 2 was amazing. Game 3 seemed like they just kind of threw.

Also Jax OP, apparently.

[Skyrunner]

I omly got to see the first game~

[Chaoswizkid]

Spoiler: World Finals (click to show/hide)

Royal got WREQ'd. No Jax bans, Game 2 had absolutely horrible picks for Royal (countering Jax with Rumble? Counter Zed with Kassadin?), not very good picks/bans in general for Royal considering, they seemed to lose the ability to push map objectives past 10 minutes, etc. etc.
They had a lot of trouble throughout the Championship dealing with the enemy's momentum, and they played SKTT1 who are like a perpetual motion machine. They get even an inch and they will just build miles of road straight to the enemy's nexus. It was a poor matchup for Royal, compounded by poor decision making on the picks/bans level. Can't fault them terribly for actual gameplay, though, other than a few mishaps Game 1 or Game 2. This was a very stompy World Finals.

DO NOT LOG INTO LEAGUE BEFORE SEEING THE WORLD FINALS.

THANKS RIOT FOR SPOILING THE OUTCOME, YOU STUPID DOUCHEBAGS!

I find this whole "OMG SPOIL0RZ" mindset... alien.

If you're such a fan you can't bear the thought of accidentally learning the outcome why the fuck haven't you stayed up in 5 a.m. to watch the actual games? Do you kick people at work in the balls for discussing last night's football game? Because I'm pretty sure there are a lot more people who are mad about sports than about LoL, but I don't hear any of them whining.

I personally always check the result before watching an anticipated game, if I was unable to watch it ongoing.

In other news, I just watched the final and was quite disappointed. By both teams. Wish Gambit hadn't lost their support and/or gotten a better one and/or had a ton more time to train with Voidle.

edit : Oh yeah I almost forgot! People convinced me to make a smurf on EUW, so if anyone wants to play shitty low-level games with a person who is Not Good at the Summoners' Rift, add Crundles!

[Sharp]

I think it would have been nice for them to provide some method for people to watch the game without saying what the result is. Not everyone can have the luxury to stay up and watch the games at the time their played especially for an international event like a world tournament.

Surprise and anticipation are interesting things and can increase enjoyment. I don't really like spoilers too much and my personal pet peeve is those TV shows which do the constant "coming up after the break...." and "on next weeks episode....."

You're right. How dare I work all night instead of watching worlds! I mean, thinking about it now, logging in when I get home to see if anyone's on to play a quick game... Why, that's just absurd. I clearly should've watched the games first before logging in, because why on EARTH would anyone want to play games with their friends first instead of sitting alone and watching the game?

Right!?

I mean, you make good points in that most people love to know the outcome of a match before they watch it. That way, it's just that much more exciting to watch later! What does the word spoiler even mean?!?
