Xerath was a good champion idea, they just went the wrong way with it.
[QUOTE=venn178;34476125]This.
I have Xerath and his only poke damage is his ult when he's rooted. Someone at 25% health? root and dump everything at their tower and they die. Past that, Xerath is pretty much a joke early-mid game.[/QUOTE]
I've got a completely different experience with Xerath, and went on a pretty ridiculous winning streak as him when i picked him up a couple of months ago.
I would just farm as hard as possible and stun anyone who came near me, E, Auto attack, and continue farming. Normally I had such range on them that they could rarely out poke me; and if they did get close, I'd drop my ulti and mostly get kills.
I really like Xerath, probably should play him more, but I think he may need a small buff in terms of mana cost, but I've never felt unable to deal damage, infact I always feel like i can just rape anyone who's stupid enough to stick around or sit under their tower.

focusing that kayle through ult certainly wasn't my finest moment.. (i feel my dodge on morg's snare made up for it though) but either way
their gragas left the game after i spammed "GET DUNKED" in chat

Yeah, he's built around poking power, and that's all well and good, but with that comes two problems:
Poking isn't all that useful once the laning phase is over, and his mana costs during the laning phase (assuming it's not an abnormally long one) are too high to actually be aggressive, forcing him to usually tower camp and poke them down.
Love Xerath, but he just feels like a Ryze with range and less damage.

Okay so I want to build the perfect dunking team.
Olaf, Yi, who else?

Pantheon for them slam dunks.
it seems like if you duo queue then you'll basically get first pick, but if you solo queue, its automatic last pick
[editline]31st January 2012[/editline]
lol got into the same queue as ashxu while solo queuing
if you're last pick theres a high chance that the top 4 players are some combination of premade.
it's probably 4 man premade actually. Almost all the time I'm last pick the other 4 are somewhat coordinated.
[QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;34476579]Pantheon for them slam dunks.[/QUOTE]
Olaf, Yi, Pantheon... Garen maybe?
And who's a good ranged dunker?

I really want to say Tristana but I've lost so many games this weekend that my opinions are probably void.
jax is a decent dunker in my experience, super gapcloser + magook damage and spammable shit
SIVIR OP
Sivir is insane yes. I think she's getting nerfs this patch. Too lazy to find the source though but Morello said it on the forums.
i mean, imagine if they had sivir's old W + her new kit
OP as release graves x 200
Mundo is probaly a really good dunkmaster, come to think of it.
So here's what I've got for a viable dunking team (so far):
Solotop: Garen
Jungle: Yi
Mid: Sivir
Bottom: Pantheon, Olaf
y/n?
remember when pantheon was amazing mid
it was gay

What do you mean remember? He's still excellent.

As far as I know he's still really good.
Fuck, so I watched Mulan and it made me want to buy Xin Zhao. However I didn't realise I bought him with RP until I had pressed the button, and I've already used the refund thing. :suicide:

Aegis of Zeonia stun duration reduced to 0.7/0.9/1.1/1.3/1.5 seconds from 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2.
this is what i meant, before they nerfed that he could just stun you and use e and you couldnt do shit
They reduced his E channel time too so its a guaranteed dmg again unless they have mercs
lol urgot mid, yeah 2 year old meta game here boys, AD carry solo mid, because that's not out of style
[editline]31st January 2012[/editline]
Also there's no way urgot is poking fizz with his troll pole
[QUOTE=suppertime;34478733]lol urgot mid, yeah 2 year old meta game here boys, AD carry solo mid, because that's not out of style
[/QUOTE]
ad carry mid was the shit tho
much better than the new meta
Urgot is not an AD carry, one of the last things he needs is someone to take most of his exp.
