Of course it was a bad Riven, like I said, 100CS difference (and I'm not any good with GP, not yet anyway). I just started pushing level 1 when she was helping wankwick at blue and she fought me at a bunch of minions. I was just thinking to myself, well isn't it cool that someone else has the useless jungler, eh?

If anything it's real fun to play GP. I'm unsure what are the best builds though. Triforce seems better than the SS somebody recommended because all the stats are really good on GP and then his Q oneshots minions, after that he can use basically anything including mullet, warmogs, ie, lw, atmas, gauntlet, randuins, fh, visage, hexdrinker, even hydra possibly...

Ok second Riven zoned by Jewplank, also had I more GP experience she'd been dead a couple of times more because Cannon Barrage apparently can deal really good damage if somebody just jumps around in it. The wonders of crap elo. So his wiki page says Remove Scurvy doesn't remove knock-ups, but it seems like it does, because I got in a Zyra ult, ate oranges and it was K, GP just walked in the air.

Ok, I laned against platinum Riven. Cheesed her level 1 with CRITRUNES GANGPLANK.

After that I still lost the lane, lol. I learned that relying on crit to trade with Riven doesn't work in your favour, and every Q is a trade because she has so much mobility. Luckily we won the game anyway because stealth assassins and solo queue.

What the hell is she doing? Looks ridiculous.

Thea perilous adventures of CRITRUNES GANGPLANK continue. Get level 2 first, kill Croatian nationalist Wukong, then poke him down and have J4 cheese him from under tower while their Jax is watching helplessly, then show Wu that as good as his ult is he can't kill you with it when he's behind and you got an ult too which can deal massive or no damage, in which a lot of people like to stand when dueling you for some reason. Croatian nationalist Wukong shows the typical hot-bloodedness I've come to except from eastern nationalists and ragequits, enemy team "report Jax" (what). Our team had Khafix for support and we had no rage, heh.

Protip : always pick on people who have obvious nationalist summoner names, camp them, troll them, anything to get them to ragequit.

They increased his R damage though, unsure how removing magic resistance is gonna change him from runawaydin to allindin though.

Lol, the Jinx nerfs were nothing, her maxed minigun is still the best attack speed steroid in the game. Maybe the new wildly overpowered champion hasn't sold enough yet. Maybe she can't jungle with the early game nerfs at least.

Who cares though, NEW HEIMERDINGER, FUCK EVERYTHING. He seems like mad op too, gonna replace something in my roster with the little bastard.

Also Viktor buff, like finally his ult doesn't cost most mana in the game. Still wish it wasn't on a two minute cooldown.

They clearly made all the money they wanted from Aatrox, they gave him a stealth nerf that wasn't discussed anywhere by reducing his Blood Well Attack Speed from 50% at all levels to 30% at lvl 1. He has Volibear level clear speeds now. RIP. And that's on top of the Season 4 meta making him worse. On the other hand Vi is freelo and will only get better.

Oh and Zed at 47% gets it in the nuts. I'm happy Fizz wasn't gutted, I like fish stick. But it's clear the Zed nerf was due to how more effective he was professionally. Seriously, fuck the World Championships, fuck the LCS and all the professional nonsense. Those games are so boring, the casters are some NBA wannabes, the asians win everything and all of that for what? Some champions are stealth OP for months like Rammus and they never get touched, but if your favorite champion ever makes it professionally, be prepared to have his soloque efficiency dropped to 45%.

Also in other news, Nidalee has like 56% win rate in Diamond. I'm finding it hard to explain how exactly, Nidalee is horrible as a mid laner. At least that's what most of us thought right? She has 50% win rate in silver, 52% win rate in gold, 53.5% win rate in Platinum and 56% win rate in Diamond. Truly remarkable. The word is she's getting the Sivir and Olaf treatment, the dreaded "rework". Well goodbye Nidalee, she was the only top laner I had with Aatrox. Goodbye Top too...

Playing bruisers and melee carries when Riot hates them so much is hazardous to your health. I am slowly turning into only exploiting OP champions, that's what happens when you "invest" in a champion you like.

What is the season 4 meta anyway? I have been living under an ARAM rock so I have no idea what they changed.

Also got to play Lucian for the first time. Poke on W is good but falls off past mid-game, range is ass, passive is so-so, mostly because it can crit. Q sucks until late game. His ult is simply retarded. I mean sure, I enjoy hitting shit from a significantly bigger range than the basic AA, but could they make it crit? Please? Still, at least he out-scales caitlyn so he's not too bad.

From what I understand and it's still all a mystery to everyone, the season 4 meta will favor farming more. Riot has tried to get rid of snowballing and cheese tactics and they're adding free wards for each player.

Guys what to build on Heimer. Seems like he's the prime target for the enemy team, but if you'd just build pure damage you can burst and your towers will do whatever damage they can anyway, not like they're gonna live forever.

New Heimer reminds me of Karma, his ultimate working like mantras. My default build on ranged mages is Void Staff for the penetration, Lich Bane for the on hit effect and Unholy Grail for lots of manna.
These are my core items, rest may vary.

I also feel like he can be played as a support, his new grenade with the slow/stun makes him a viable choice. I mean people are playing even Annie when her stun is not that quickly available.
In this case I'd say core items are Crucible and Shard.

It seems to me nobody knows anything about Nunu jungle, because people counterpick themselves against him so badly. Also I love it that nobody ever helps anyone against Nunu. LoL players have this mindset where if their buddy is getting beat up by two guys, or a heavyweight boxer or something, all they do is stand there and say "boy, you suck at fighting, I'm gonna tell your girlfriend about this".

Bought Jinx, played only once against bots so far, pretty fun kit, I really like that passive. The AS steroid is pretty damn good indeed, rocket lawn-chair ain't bad. Only thing that sucks about her is the visual design so far. Well the AA range sans the rocket launcher is a bit short and the rockets do drain quite a bit of mana. Still, she has lol poke so I can live with the shortcomings. Is manamune good on her? Not sure if she can farm up a tear.

I need to troll normals with her now.

If you can get away with an Infinity Edge, get it early. Her AS steroid makes her godly at dueling, and she has the range too for poking or taking down towers.

If you want extra mana on her, I'd rather suggest a Trinity Force or a couple of mana regen glyphs and 3 in utility. Building manamune is just such a crappy process, when you have a longsword and a tear you are weak, when you have uncharged manamune you're still kinda weak.

Wow, the nasus VU looks nice and the voiceover is decent too. http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/26226-unofficial-pbe-patch-notes-for-10-31-2013-nasus-vu Also legendary nasus skin.

to each his own I guess

As someone who enjoyed his calm voice while my bot lane was getting 4 man dived but I was stacking my Q on wolves, I also miss the old VU.

Anyone see the new support changes? Lol Riot really pulled a fast one. "Supports get more gold", that's why every one of them got nerfed and given shitty 0.4 AP ratios to use that extra gold on. Actually, my Soraka got butchered. Every heal value nerfed, her E now uses mana, her passive gone. In her current state, you could run mana regen blues and yellows and armor reds and just have infinite sustain. Too toxic for Riot's tastes I guess.

Well, you're probably not gonna buy AP but stack 5 warmogs anyway. Simply not being the one-shotted rapetarget is making support slightly more tolerable.

Still not gonna support, fuck that shit.
