[QUOTE=ashxu;36577952]Jungling with Gangplank feels... weak. I tried a more damage orientated early build, getting Ruby/Sapphire Crystal, then getting a HoG + Sheen then Wriggles but once mid game rolls round only Q and R do damage. Autoattacks feel week, even with E activated.[/QUOTE] Jungle GP used to be strong, even OP, but now the issue isn't his ganks, it's his damage. Honestly his ganks are still pretty good, you can apply a melee-level red buff slow at a range with your Q, plus his passive, plus ignoring crowd control with oranges, and your E buffs yourself and the guy in your lane. And a global presence is always good with his ult. He's pretty strong at bottom lane ganks which is rare usually. GP himself however is kinda just shit. He lacks damage without insane farm.

I miss Gangplank fun times were had dealing 1300 damage crits with Q Or at least times when he actually did damage

gp sucks in the jungle now tbh basically he does no damage compared to other junglers, and no very good utility to make up for that [editline]1st July 2012[/editline] he can't build tanky and get damage anymore

[QUOTE=ashxu;36578109]I miss Gangplank fun times were had dealing 1300 damage crits with Q Or at least times when he actually did damage[/QUOTE] They'll be buffing him soon(tm) for jungling according to el Wikia but I haven't seen any threads or links to say so officially. But yeah, he took a bunch of steady nerfs and some indirect ones, now he's just dead. Atma's used to be an insta-buy on him and it was ridiculously good. Back when the Deadliness mastery was a 4% crit chance, that was also retarded with Parrrrley. They just have to take a look at him again.

Is Taric worth getting? I don't have a single support champ yet and I didn't really like Zilean, plus Taric is pretty cheap in terms of IP.

Hell when I get him in ARAB/ARAM I [i]always[/i] build him AP for his ult and oranges, lol. Build Lich Bane for Q. [editline]1st July 2012[/editline] auto-merge nrrrggh and yes taric is pretty great but he takes some practice. He seems straight forward but there's a lot of little things to him you should keep in mind, like when to use his Shatter and Imbue. When I see Taric's throw their stun at max range then walk up to the guy and just smash W, I facepalm as they walk away with no armor and get shredded by the AD carry.

Umm, Taric vs Soraka, who is easier and more annoying to the enemies?

Depends on who your ad is. Soraka is passive, Taric is aggressive, match yourself with the appropriate carry.

Soraka is easier, only decision you ever have to make is whether to silence or boost mana, otherwise just spam skills whenever possible. When you're playing Taric you generally want someone that can do lots of damage while the enemy is stunned such as Tristana or Corki but with Soraka you want someone like Ashe that just needs the farm early game.

Hmm, then who has more overall synergy with all carries?

taric is really well rounded

i miss old gangplank :(

[QUOTE=Feralicous;36578468]taric is really well endowed[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=NotMeh;36578424]Hmm, then who was more overall synergy with all carries?[/QUOTE] Probably Janna, she has something for everyone, she can be passive and aggressive and is just all round very good at protecting the carry

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;36578480]i miss old gangplank :([/QUOTE] rip cheesesword and swag walk

mostly meant how he was played before the remake, his q dealing more damage and e giving atk speed and whatnot

How can I directly counter Jax as Olaf? I'm pretty positive I have to face a Jax in a solomid game but how should I deal with him? Like what builds/skill order?

force him out of lane with Q + E jax can't trade with olaf at all

[QUOTE=Espio;36578542]Probably Janna, she has something for everyone, she can be passive and aggressive and is just all round very good at protecting the carry[/QUOTE] she cant heal, though

max E

taric an all-arounder, soraka is all about sustain, alistar is a cc beast, nunu is a buff and debuff beast, janna and sona both have great presence, and zilean gets killed because hes a squishy useless support

isn't sona like shit tier support now? i was watching the MLG tournaments and CLG got a lot of shit for having a sona (or something like that)

supports are mostly situational, but IMO alistar and janna are the ones that fit most comps

[QUOTE=mixshifter;36578902]isn't sona like shit tier support now? i was watching the MLG tournaments and CLG got a lot of shit for having a sona (or something like that)[/QUOTE] She's a pretty amazing support. She may not be as strong as Soraka and Taric in the lane phase but most of her usefulness shines in team fights in my opinion. When I've played Sona I can't count how many times my team won solely because I was supporting as Sona.

JANNA CARRY HARD HUZZAH! Denying both Malphite's and WW's ults for life.

Just got myself a free Alistar to try out from the Youtube promotion. <3 riot

We need more supports! I hope there's a new champion soon directly focused on supporting. Lulu does not count.

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/youwillrememberyorickmoriaty.png[/img] pre-game, I call yorick top and lock in after nobody else calls anything. Then ashe instalocks after saying nothing. Amumu locks in too, so thats jungle and AD sorted. then skarner and malph both lock in. In-game, skarner waddles towards top, so I give myself to mid. Skarner then turns around and goes bot, while malph goes top instead. I'm yorick mid vs a fucking veigar. I end up about 2/3/2 while veigar gets high off of first blood and about 20 kills thanks to our jungle amumu. A surrender is called, but I'm having too much fun to say yes. it finishes unsuccessfully 3/2. We keep pushing mid, but we are still losing. After a failed teamfight, with only me and malph standing, malph walks over to baron and starts hitting it. I decide to help, and we take just long enough to kill it so the entire team takes the buff. then, as it turns out, having amumu malph and ashe on your team, with yorick dealing out all the damage and skarner pulling out the people who somehow survive, is [b]absolutely fucking devastating[/b]. they surrendered after we constantly slaughtered them. they will remember yorick mori
