Looking forward to hearing about advancement series 3 to 8 if you're not going to trust your teammates are interested in winning and helping them. :salute:

Taric+ADC can usually do drake at level 7 or 8 with no jungler needed. I make a point of taking dragon if we manage to push the enemy ADC back to base.

You don't quite understand - that was not an imagined scenario but that's just what happened in my series. Don't let me jungle, better shit jungle, don't listen to me better derp around.

What is it about ashe that makes her feel so amazing? If you just look at her abilities they seem kinda meh when you compare to murder carries like Vayne. But something about ashe makes her work. I wonder if she's a reasonable pick vs. Cuntlyn.

Why the hell do I get to play against 200 elo higher guys who pick Shen while we got ourselves a nice fucking Fiora? LoL isn't fair. So say I give her a kill with some Nautilus ganks, then drake money, then still she manages to lose because it's a shit champion vs. Shen. Or am I missing something?

Caitlyn is just the Thresh of AD carries, people that can't play the role for shit default and choose her because she's safe/easy mode :P. Not surprisingly Caitlyn - Thresh is the ultimate "we're huge flaming homo nazis" duo and they deserve to be trounced into the ground for daring to show up with such noob champions in your lane. Ashe does ok vs Caitlyn.

Im doing a Warwick marathon, even got to play AP WW mid yesterday. Pretty hard to carry with him though. Its like the better WW gets the rest of the team weakens and turn retardo. Almost 10 games now and all of them were on the edge of winning/losing.

Oh yeah? Here's a 3-hour long Youtube about how to play Warwick on a Platinum level by some French guy that covers everything. I mean everything.



Basically take all the buffs and fuck your team so you can help them sooner, since a potato makes for a more useful ganker pre-6. He also stresses how amazing the W is lategame for every team.

Good luck with your gonks.

One of the best guides I've seen, not only for WW but for general decision making aswell. The accent is the best part.

He's even more insane supporting an adc as long as the adc is not played by a coma patient.

Well sticking to jungle tends to get me upwards anyway and not getting to jungle tends to do the opposite. Zac is just a pretty insane champion, I don't even know about his balance, sure his kit seems meh damage and cc wise but as a jungler Zac punishes people for simply aggression or sometimes just being there, while a jungler like Nautilus or Xin punish them harshly for mistakes but not smart aggressive play if they have warded properly. Zac is kinda like post-6 Nocturne but his mobility skill is a short-cd normal skill, though a bit unreliable to connect as it should. For example this one Rene player had warded even the side bushes but I'd just slingshot on him from a corner of the jungle when he'd all-in on Vlad, like I guessed he would do. If you play against Zac, never all-in if you don't know where he is unless you can 100-0 the other guy real fast or your jungler has your back.

Of course I play against scrub junglers. Counterjungling seems to be dead in tinfoil elo, I don't know where all the Olafs, the Nocturnes Shyvanas Mundos Lee Sins etc. have gone but for my playstyle it's like elo heaven. Of course I fear I forget how to play against aggressive counterjunglers which always felt like the best jungle gameplay to me.

That KDA is impressive considering Zac basically has two lives!
Pf, my KDA is terrible especially on my best champions. CHAERG
Though Zac is maybe my most survivable champion to date, I get these ~2 deaths games frequently. Good passive, be sure not to fuck it up, it's pretty valuable, and if you're the only tank then god help you.

Explain yourself, there isn't a single ap carry on which that is bad.

Yes, but there's also only a handful of ap carries on which it is good.

It's stupid on Viktor. Viktor is a burst caster that's meant to take people down from 100 to 0 in a combo. You completely waste the %hp passive by nuking shit, and you waste it even more given how your only CC to trigger the full damage from lazer poke is the gravity well, which is unreliable to say the least. So the only things left are some pathetic bonus hp, seriously low bonus AP and some mpen, all of which gets outclassed by any big item that builds from a large rod. Furthermore, given how Vik is gimped by the hex core, AND his ranges are utter shite, which means you absolutely MUST build boots/rabadon/2x tanky ap (usually rylai + zhonya) and finish up either with void staff if there's lotsa mr or abyssal. Laundry Torment makes no sense whatsoever on Viktor, and you should never get it.

Which brings me to my next point - it's a horrible and overrated item that does fuck all and is only seemingly good on paper. It gives pathetic bonus AP compared to other big items. It gives shit bonus HP compared to RoA or Rylai's. The mpen is relevant only for like the first 15 minutes of the game when you have a guise. The passive %hp damage is not only unreliable (needs cc to trigger full damage), but also crap (a dot doing current 2-4%hp is for the most part trash), and usually counterintuitive - when exactly do you use it? Only poke-oriented champs really profit from it, and there's not exactly a lot of them out there.

I've been thinking very hard who can actually use laundry torment to its full potential, and in the end I can only name 2, and that's Vlad and Cassiopeia. If you are getting it on other champs, in 99% cases you are a horrible person and you should feel bad.

It's not even good on Cassio. Her damage is way too high, you cast twin fangs twice and most of the target will be low enough for %damage to become minuscule. In theory, it's OK for poking with Q but Void Staff would be much better anyway.

The premise of % damage based on current health instead of max and dealt over time just doesn't make much sense for casters. It is only useful as the only damage oriented item for someone like Sejuani.

Jungle Elise likes the Guise->Rylai->Laundry path.

I could see it do well on Swain. He wants to be in there dealing damage over time with his R.

Oh man Roxor you just made me have a nostalgia trip for Cassio. Why nobody play her anymore?
I don't know. She's good. She's my most popular pick for mid in ranked games this season ex aequo with Anivia*. And the only champion with whom I got a quadra kill in season 3.

*I played mid in ranked twice this season.
**Also, that was the only time I scored more than 4 kills, and other than that one instance, I didn't even have any double kills.
