[QUOTE=Rudevinny;50494602]Who the fuck actually dodges in ARAM? Like, who decides they want to play a gamemode with random champions but that shit's out of question unless they get ZED or YASUOO[/QUOTE] The same people who say that random is too random.

How do I pop off on Ryze, how do people even kill with Ryze before they're level 6 with a tear? I just can't cheese level 3 it's not possible fucking help me

Just played with a Jax who went 0/11 against Irelia. Wat

I feel like irellia's playstyle was supposed to be getting good trades with the stun into window of true damage and then healing up until you could do it again but for some reason they just let her oneshot everyone.

They overloaded her kit with too much utility, damage, everything and then just left her like that to stew as the meta shifted and League of Legends grew. Now she's just a whole buncha shit and is a (heal-)tanky, hybrid, bruiser, melee assassin. I'd love to see her remade into something more intuitive with those four floating blades being controlled by actions, not just every auto all four of them and thrown randomly for her ult.

Can I ask what might sound like a very silly question? What is the fucking point of Caitlyn's traps being visible to the enemy? The only point in throwing them down now is in the middle of a fight, where its arming time doesn't really help it. Other than that, they feel so pointless.

Like, when you land your E on a champion, while you are in mid-air, place a trap right under your enemy, you'll get a headshot from your E and when your E's duration ends, your W has already been activated so they'll be rooted again and it gives you another headshot. And zoning. As Catscratch have said. You won't believe how scary Caitlyn and Morgana can be in bottom lane.

Hopefully Aatrox is next as well. He just doesn't work.

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;50503220]Hopefully Aatrox is next as well. He just doesn't work.[/QUOTE] Nope, [URL="https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202294884-Champion-Update-Schedule"]the list[/URL] is: Ryze, Yorick, Warwick. And I think he works if he pops off, but it's a risk to take..

I wonder if they'll rework Warwick so that the height of his gameplay isn't just "Press R."

All I want is just some waveclear on him, literally just change his E into some sort of waveclear so his early jungle isn't slow as fuck. [editline]13th June 2016[/editline] Also this: [video=youtube;ddwJ6qLc-PM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddwJ6qLc-PM[/video]

Warwick has stupidly easy early jungle that's pretty fast too. Get your starting stuff, go to Gromp, get top to help, smite the Gromp. Go to wolves, use W, AA, Q when necessary. Go to krugs, smite the big one, go to razorbeaks, rotate back to Gromp. Just pop potions when crossing the lane and you're good.

So I've been debating with myself which champion should I buy with my current IP: I'm seriously thinking about Jhin because I love he's theme and the way he plays. But Kalista recently caught my attention too. I mean both play the ADC role right? But does anyone know which of the two is easier to pick up and play for a newbie like me? I tried Jhin during the free week and I think I got a good grasp of he's cons and pros.

One mistake in combat means you're out unless you have a CC team backing you up. Tell me what you know about Jhin's pros? Which items would you build on him?

Well, last time I asked here the usual item set recommended was rapid fire cannon, Dominik, statik shiv, essence reaver, infinity edge and berserker graves. From what I could get gather from the 5 matchs I played as him was: - He's attack speed is really mediocre in early game. - he's frail, doesn't really take damage all too well - he's ult and passive ability are great for picking low-health enemies since both rely on crits and how much remaining health the enemy champion has. - he's walk speed isn't too great either on early game. - He works wonders with crit builds due to he's passive. - he's W is great for rooting people out from afar due to how much range it has. And from what I could gather from my friends who played the game longer than I did. He's not good on mid-lane. Where he really shines is as a ADC since you have someone supporting you to farm and build the items you need faster. I only played like 3 games against actual people so feel free to correct me if I said anything odd.

You can quickly fire 2 shots by using Q because it cancels the animation. Don't forget to laugh like a true Virtuoso whenever you kill the other ADC.

so this happend [t]http://i.imgur.com/AG9zURA.jpg[/t] [sp]i already have it, what do[/sp]

give it to me ofc

korean jhin build is pretty fun, yommus duskblade (maw?)

[QUOTE=Rudevinny;50525792]I suppose Irelia is now yet another raidboss. I have to applaud Riot for making Trinity Force a more questionable purchase on everyone except Irelia.[/QUOTE] Jax? Udyr? Hecarim?

[QUOTE=Moofy;50526883]Jax? Udyr? Hecarim?[/QUOTE] Trundle, Wukong... it's so much better on pretty much every bruiser than it used to be. Basically only Ezreal, Corki, and Yasuo suffered. There's even some Vayne AS-based builds with it

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;50529342]Hell, even the usual crit GP build took a hit but it's still a solid item.[/QUOTE] For some reason I love the change to triforce on Gangplank, it just feels way more fun building him now because you don't rely on the crit to hit 40% CDR without CDR runes. My build is usually this now: Trinity -> CDR boots -> Ghostblade -> IE -> Statik/PD -> Steraks/LW/Other. There's probably better options, but I just find good success with this personally.
