League of Legends

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

I was still a bit skeptical when they had the art release, but I'm pretty sure now.

On that note, say yer screen names people! I'm tired of having to be the tank all the time with other players who have a poor comprehension of what makes a good lineup. I be Vuther, on NA servers.

Already posted somewhere, but just in case people forget.

Lafreshtan. EU servers. (post servers as well. We don't all play on US servers)

Also, let's see how this plays out with Urf and Lee Sin...

EDIT: And...yeah. Urf'd?

Summoner name's Xiao Fei Yang (no spaces) on the North America servers. Been loving Jarvan IV lately, and yeah, he's a bit terrifying, but only IF the player knows what he's doing. The flag+spear is definitely a skill shot, and his ult can hurt as much as it can help (trapping your low hp carry in with their ganker, for instance).

Still, if anyone needs an off tank/AD initiator, count me in ^ ^

So, either Lee Sin is real... or Riot Games is trying very, very, very hard to be trick us. I'll have to check after school.

Personal favorite highlights:

Lee sin is a ranged, melee, tanky DPS, Assassin, Mage, Tank, Support Jungler. He excels at everything.

Lee Sin's hidden passive is blindness, your entire screen is blurry at all times while playing him.

I start the game at level eighteen, because I'm Lee Sin, The Blind Monk.

Immediately, I use Sonic Wave, and target the enemy's summoning platform. I follow up with Resonating Strike, flying across the map, and into the enemy base. On arrival, I walk up to the summoner platform, and kill them all with Tempest. *PENTAKILL*

The Baron kills himself for me, because I'm Lee Sin, The Blind Monk.

One of my own teammates has actually defected, making it a 1v6. I'm going to slow down the video to show you exactly how I handle this scenario.

At this point, all the players on each team attempt to surrender. However, I'm Lee Sin, The Blind Monk, meaning that games don't end, and players can't leave until I say so.

However, I do eventually decide to win the game. So I walk up to an enemy champion, and use Dragon's Rage, to kick it into the enemy Nexus, immediately destroying it and winning the game.

Doesn't look too OP. apocalypseWalker, on the NA servers. Nasus for the win.

Look at my link again. You might notice a slight... difference.

Whoops, just assumed that was his champion spotlight. It's on youtube though. It's a joke, but he's real.

Yeah, I saw that one. It was amusing, but I was quite ambivalent over it because I wanted Lee Sin.

These patch notes are amazing.

Galio really does need to yell DEMACIAAAAAA while casting his ultimate, though.

Lulz. Well played, Riot. Well played.

So yeah, my in-game handle is, shockingly enough, GG Crono. Any tropers may add me as they please.

My ingame name is Tyranno Storm. I play any character you need.

Nocturne still OP, amazing how I've lost some interest in playing this game ever since that turd came out.

Hey guys, asking for help from the troping community. I guy who I really really don't like challenged me to a 1 v.s. 1 match, and he's using Jax. I have it on good authority he's going Attack Damage/AP, and my best champion is Nasus. Any advice for my item build or alternate champion suggestions?

So...why are you fighting a one versus one match?

Pride. My masculine nature demands I smash him into virtual oblivion for the insult he makes by DARING to believe he can beat me.

This sounds like a terrible idea...

1v1's just seem really petty. I like to believe that most players are above this practice. It doesn't matter if you can 1v1 someone, since 1v1 situations rarely occur at all in this game. Also, a Jax wanting a 1v1 you is a clear sign of a arrogant little kid that's not even worth your time.

...But if you're really set on doing this, then you might as well give the kid a lesson:

If it's early level then you have a nice advantage with most champs. Jax will obviously build AD/AP and gets exponentially stronger as time goes on(his passive), so you need to shut him down fast. If you are going through with Nasus, zone him out from creeps using E and make sure to farm your Q. Deny him your creeps with your superior zoning capabilities. Remember you have built-in lifesteal, so the longer you stay in lane, the better your chances.

Watch his lamppost. When it glows, he's gonna jump you, so fall back and throw a wither. You do NOT want to die to Jax. Also take a look at the boots he's building. If he builds a ninja tabi (which is highly likely for a Jax), focus on leveling up wither over your Q. Wither also wrecks his autoattacks, and without merc's treads, it's very devastating. If he builds mercury treads, do the opposite and max out wither last.

Get a sword of the divine (check attack speed tab) asap. It completely destroys Jax. If you're really good with Nasus, then you'd know how important Sheen -> Trinity Force is for his Q, so get that as well at some point (sheen is an early must, trinity force doesn't even need to be built if everything is going well). A Banshee's Veil might also help, because it cancels out his jump.

That's epic advice right there. Thanks a lot. I'm definitely using that.

I decided to try my hand at designing characters.
I give you Bjorn, erm, Bjarne.

Anybody else REALLY pissed off at the load times of the new patch?

For some reason, I'm not. I guess I'm used to downtime. I did get to play one game and get stomped with the other team having Brand. Can't say about his balance since he did crazy damage, but he was middle and our own middle had a dying streak against him. Though that could have been how he's overpowered since Cassieopeia was our middle and while I don't have her, she seems to be quite the laner I hear, which seems so when playing against her.

She is. Brand, however, just totally owns if he gets mana regen and cooldown reduction. You can't stop him 1v1 then. It is my opinion that he'll be nerfed hard soon. Either in damage or cooldown. 'Till then, just spread out, then focus the crap out of him. He always should die first.

Yay for Alistar changes. And lots of other changes too. Still want Kayle changes, though.

Alistar is one of my mains, so I was quite surprised, but at the end accepting about his passive being changed. I do like that his Pulverize range is increased, though, even at the expense of the decreased stun time. Often times I'd try to hit someone next to me with it and for whatever reason it'd miss.
