Re: League of Legends
 

I don't lose if I play Tryndamere

Re: League of Legends
 

Re: League of Legends
 

Lmao Trynd is seriously one of my worst champions. I always fail mid-late game with him. I can wreck earlygame with him every time though. Early doublekills and whatnot. Solo top with trynd is so fun, but I can never translate it into lategame. I'm really bad at using my ult at the right time, I always seem to melt in fights.

Re: League of Legends
 

The thing with him is, obviously, build attack speed/critical chance

I usually end up having Infinity Edge, 2 Phantom Dancers, The boots that give +2 movement and 25% attack speed, and then like a bf sword and something else and my best game is actually mid-late.

I almost always get his spinning slash first, and then his passive ability perk thing.

Re: League of Legends
 

Re: League of Legends
 

Yeah... I don't know what that was, and I thought it sucked.

Re: League of Legends

PS: NFD I know you're retarded and all but you level up Q on tryndamere first.. It's half of what makes tryn tryn..

Re: League of Legends
 

25thhour -- I Beat Niggs Im level 11 ;D

Re: League of Legends
 

Tryn gets shut down way too easily, though since most bad players don't know about thornmail my friend still rocks with him.

Re: League of Legends
 

man you're really dumb. I take it at level 2, so it doesn't make any difference

Also Thornmail for Tryn is bad

Re: League of Legends
 

He meant to counter Trynd. I'm terrible at this game and even I knew that. You are dumb.

At least I hope he meant to counter. If not then there's no hope for any of you.

Re: League of Legends
 

Italics to emphasize my point

Re: League of Legends
 

dirty naggers

Re: League of Legends
 

I know it's bad on him, that's why its a counter to him.

Re: League of Legends
 

Alright, good

Re: League of Legends
 

what

thornmail doesn't counter trynd

randuin's omen counters trynd

Re: League of Legends
 

So I made a League of Legends song.

Do help bump and upvote this thread.

Re: League of Legends
 

So I started playing last night and got my brother to play with me. It seems really fun so far. I've got another who's going to love this game.

Re: League of Legends
 

I love it when I jungle as Rammus, secure kills at 3 ganks (in a row) and proceed to lead my team to victory.

Think I found the best runes for Rammus: Armor quints and reds and mp5/lvl blues and yellows. By the time I'm finishing my route at red my smite has just come off cooldown and I never run out of mana late game.


Yorick seems pretty strong now. Had some fun with him a couple games. Don't NEED to build manamune and that's nice. Just spent a game letting my laning partner freefarm. He's great at harassing safely.

Re: League of Legends
 

Yeah, so far Yorick is my favorite character. Lots of fun with him.

Re: League of Legends
 

You started playing him at just the right time. Before the last patch everyone was convinced he was a pile of shit.

But make sure to just build attack damage on him and not ability power. :)

Re: League of Legends
 

Haha, yeah, I heard he got patched a couple of days ago or something.

Oh, my in-game name is MacGravel, obviously. :D (I'm level 5, I think...)

Re: League of Legends
 

I bought Jarvan IV and I suck with him.
What would be a generic build for an AP team?

Re: League of Legends
 

Jarvan IV is a beast if you play him right

These are hilarious
http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...d.php?t=301830

Re: League of Legends
 

Yeah, I was raped earlier by a Jarvan IV who managed to pull 39 kills and 2 deaths at the end of the game. I think I was feeding him xd

Re: League of Legends
 

Level 14 now. Played my first 2 PvP matches last night. I am a pretty mean Irelia when I get mid, bro. We won the first I was laned against that vivi looking mage. P Much wrecked him :3 However, my second match we lost QQ was up top with a fail Ashe. Feel free to add me on there I go by ELRayford

Re: League of Legends
 

I main jarvan so what kind of build are you looking for: tank, carry, or hybrid.

Re: League of Legends
 

played some with blu today

was fun facing level 30s, albeit a bit scary and discouraging going 2/11 and then disconnecting right before my team loses in the last game :X

3 wins 2 losses, pretty decent

Re: League of Legends
 

I'm looking for a tank build for Jarvan.

Re: League of Legends
 

Warmog's/Atma's/FoN/Trinity Force/Merc Treads/more AR or MR and go all DEMACIA on their asses.

Re: League of Legends
 

So I think I ****ed up my LoL download and I can't see Leona. Can someone upload the folder for her?

ps. hell no am i going to redownload this game takes FOREVER to download

Re: League of Legends
 

shes not in the game yet. shes coming in the next patch.

Re: League of Legends
 

Oh, THAT'S why I haven't seen her. Thanks.

Re: League of Legends
 

Basically that, though I would recommend starting philo stone and heart of gold. With the right runes you can stay pretty tanky through the laning phase without getting much armour/magic resist.

Also if you aren't doing well I would suggest getting a frozen mallet instead of trinity force.

Re: League of Legends
 

so me my friend talon and stargroup/lurker/and nickd went 5 man premade last night
ended up against a 5 man premade with stonewall on the other team
he jungled circles around me and we got roflstomped by his team mate playing morde
FML

Re: League of Legends
 

With Jarvan I like to go Philosopher stone
mercury treads
heart of gold
FoN or to Randuin Omen's depending on the situation
then trinity force

Re: League of Legends
 

I've got 700 points. I need 6,000+ to unlock Yorick. This sucks, hahaha. I can't seem to do anything worthwhile with any of the other characters. I keep going like, 0-13. XD

Re: League of Legends
 

I started playing this game like two days ago. Pretty fun, I must say.

My favorite champions are Ashe and Alistar right now. Bitches better not nerf Ashe. D:

Re: League of Legends
 

They wont nerf ashe, she's been the same since before season one started

Re: League of Legends
 

imo caitlyn or mf are better carries : x but yeah ashe is good depending on your team

Re: League of Legends
 

I remember she got nerfed in one patch

Re: League of Legends
 

Her ult just got nerfed last patch rofl

Re: League of Legends
 

oh yeah they increased the cd on her arrow but its doubtful they will change anything else

Re: League of Legends
 

Who should I play that's available for free right now? And what strategies should I use?

Re: League of Legends
 

pick annie
take mid bro
R-W-Q-IGNITE
gg

ok that probably wont actually help so here's some detailed pro tips. start off with a dorans ring and level your Q up first. take mid and last hit the minions with your Q as it refunds your mana. for the first 5 levels level your skills in this order Q>W>Q>E>W then max W out as quick as possible after level 6 then Q and lastly E. once your W is up you can usually wipe out a whole creep wave in one hit so it is crucial to get it up and farm minions asap. also pay attention to your stun. after every 5 spell casts her next move will stun so make sure you get that up when you want use your ult as it will be an AoE stun.

now for the build. usually after starting out with a dorans ring, i buy the normal boots then 2 or 3 more dorans rings. this gives me good survivability mid game and good AP and mana regen. then when you can upgrade your boots to sorcerer shoes and the first core item i like to rush is rabadons deathcap. i usually can get that close to 20-22 minutes in the game. after that i like to go catalyst, then upgrade to rod of ages. once you get the catalyst you can sell a couple of the dorans rings. usually by this point the game is over but if its not grab a void staff, banshees veil, and zhonyas hourglass. i think that should be enough info for a good starting point.

Re: League of Legends
 

OMG REACH IS PLAYING NOW

yo reach let's queue up together sometime

Re: League of Legends
 

They also reduced the slow splash on her ult. But that wasn't that big of a deal.

Also I like how people used to think Caitlyn sucked, even after her buffs, and now people think she's great.

Re: League of Legends
 

Cool. I'll give this a try later. But I actually bought Fiddlesticks a few days ago and finally found a strategy that works last night. Lots of fun.

Re: League of Legends
 

mobafire.com is a good resource of guides.

Re: League of Legends
 

maaaan if i ever break 1200 elo i'm gonna have to get 20 more wins than losses
fml

Re: League of Legends
 

You can thank me later, sexy. ;*

Re: League of Legends
 

Yeah, I did it for Arch, mostly, and out of curiosity.

I can't say it's something I'm going to go batshit over, but it's pretty fun, so I'll be playing it on and off.

I'm Temporomandibule in game. I'm only level 7; the bots are mad easy now (Went like 20-0-4 or something recently) and I'm getting the hang of things, so I'll probably move to PvP.

Got the mechanics down with a couple characters, but do struggle a bit with items. Sometimes it's obvious what to buy, sometimes not, and sometimes it's hard to time my warps with the correct amount of gold for the item I need D:

Re: League of Legends
 

well here's some things you probably haven't figured out about the free champs:
-cassiopeia can spam her E very easily
-dps annie can easily win games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogBL4xVWQN0
-the only viable build for cho'gath is six warmog's
-fiddlesticks requires a wota to have any survivability
-rammus' only viable build: swiftness, warmog, thornmail, force o nature, mallet, atma's
(force o nature and thornmail have priority based on enemy team composition)
-a bunch of people believe that sivir's ricochet does magic damage; it doesn't
-dps soraka is also insanely viable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImoFpJIXkgc
-garen requires a manamune to get anything done
-renekton also requires a manamune
-vayne sucks

Re: League of Legends
 

leag of legnds be done gone dead

Re: League of Legends
 

90% of this is bullshit, ignore it.

In other news, I just hit lvl 30! WOOT. 169 wins, 162 losses. Pretty good imho.

Re: League of Legends
 

Gj MaxGhost! Oh btw, I'm 30 too :D Passed 200 wins a few days ago. 40~ less losses than wins.


BTW. Is is possible to fix the first post list so you can see which players that are on EU and NA?


EU here btw.

Re: League of Legends
 

Is it possible to choose your region when you load up the game now?

Re: League of Legends
 

Yes.

Re: League of Legends
 

I started playing some Rammus lately and I really like him. A tank whose dmg ramps up with his physical resistance. Pretty awesome.

I've usually been building:
Heart of Gold (to use later for Rand's Omen)
Merc Treads
Thornmail
Sunfire Cape
Force of Nature
Rand's Omen
Frozen Heart

Most guides I see say that Aegis of Legion is incredibly necessary. I wouldn't mind finding a spot for it since my build is a bit expensive for a tank. I'm really new to tanking, especially tanking that doesn't involve warmog's. Any tips?

Re: League of Legends
 

You know what forget it I think I'll just quit this game forever. 100% of players are douchebag idiots. Bots aren't fun anymore. I don't know how anyone with an ounce of sense enjoys anything that involves pvp.

Re: League of Legends
 

Ah, I remember my first PvP experience xD

Re: League of Legends
 

I don't play this game myself, but my brother plays.

His name is Pandablunt. Just tell him you're from FFR

Re: League of Legends
 

This isn't my first pvp experience. LoL is by far the worst community I've ever been a part of.

Re: League of Legends
 

I would definitely have to agree with this.
There has never been a game where nothing but the players made me angry, and I have a pretty relaxed demeanor to things.

Either way,
I main Noc, Blitz, and LeBlanc if anyone wants to play.
Naletol (NA 30)

Re: League of Legends
 

I was referring to my first pvp experience in LoL. And yes, i would have to agree that LoL has the worst community of multiplayer games by far

Re: League of Legends
 

I had a feeling Chaz would quit. If you think the LoL community sucks, then I wouldn't play ANYTHING that somewhat resembles DotA.

Re: League of Legends
 

I'm only level 8, and have only played 2 PvPs, but I definitely know what you mean already. People are really mean in this game, often unprovoked or for no reason whatsoever.

I don't think I'm going to be playing this game very competitively. I like it very much in concept, but the community paired with the incredible length of games means I have nowhere near the patience or desire to go nuts with this game. I'll probably play casually with friends and leave it at that.

I'd turn the chat off entirely if it wasn't for the fact that sometimes people actually say something useful, combined with the fact you...probably can't do that >_>


Anyway, the build I've been using with Ashe right now is: Boots of Speed -> BF Sword -> Infinity Edge -> Berzerker's -> Last Whisper -> Zeal (Into Phantom Dancer) -> Bloodthirster. Banshee's Veil if I need it, otherwise Bloodrazor.

Seems to work well. Only hurdle is laning well early on to get the Infinity edge quickly, since once I have it things go uphill really quickly. I ended up with like 50 kills vs intermediate bots >_> got a 5x kill haha since the DPS gets crazy after Phantom Dancer, pretty much tank the bots 1v5 as long as you don't get caught with slows or stuns.

But yeah, PvP is a little trickier since this build is really gold dependent early on and if you fall behind it gets rough fast.

Any tips would be nice though.


Also, I ****ing hate last hitting minions. What a gay game mechanic. God damn, it's not a big deal if you're soloing or later on when you can nearly 1 hit minions, but early on with someone else in your lane it's like a giant dick slapping contest. Most irritating shit ever. I'm running this game on a beast rig, so I get max FPS, but on a weaker computer like my girlfriends it's completely unplayable because of this.

Re: League of Legends
 

Holy shit do I agree about the PvP experience in this game.

I dont even play this game anymore unless it is with 2-4 friends.

LoL PvP: Hands down, one of the worst melting pots of idiots on the internet. "Trolls", Morons and Leavers AHOY!

Re: League of Legends
 

The straw that broke the camels back was that I was playing on a smurf account so I could learn to pvp against people closer to my skill level (I got to lvl20 on my main without doing pvp at all) and other smurfs were tearing these newbies apart in the chatbox, usually completely unprovoked. This game lasted about 45 minutes.

And no, you can't turn off the chatbox. Dear lord I wish there was an option to close it. I was looking for one within ten minutes of my first game.

I have to think that the second pair of boots is unnecessary and you should put that money towards the rest of your build. I always went Boots of speed/Infinitedge/Phantom Dancer/Bloodthirst/Phantom Dancer/Banshee's Veil if needed, if not then whatever.

Amen. That's another thing I can't stand about this game. I've had games where I didn't get a minion kill for 10 minutes because my laning partner was a dick.

Re: League of Legends
 

Solution: Play more and practice.

Re: League of Legends
 

I just used Rumble for the first time ever and holy shit this guy must be the most annoying champion in the universe to lane against, or lane with...

His fire spell...lmao. The fact that you can cast this infinitely and it has such a short cool down is pretty sick. Not to mention his ultimate can pick off pretty much whoever.

Guy is SICK.

Edit: Twisted fate is sick too. God damn.

Re: League of Legends
 

or whomever damages a minion the most (50%+1) receives the gold a la MMOs

regardless, you get used to last hitting pretty soon even though it is a mechanic that could be refined

Re: League of Legends
 

Just group with people you know. If you don't know that many people make some LoL friends. Every community has its DB's. Every community also has friendly players. Most of the time the douchbags are made bro. That or they get mad cause you suck and can't devote 90% of your life to this game. Happens in all competitive online games that play in this manner.

My advice is a little "deal with it" and a lot of "don't feed the trolls"

I played a premade with hurleyisgod and a few others (all from FFR) and we had fun. Just add as many people that are friendly as you can you will be fine :3

Re: League of Legends
 

Fixed.

Re: League of Legends
 

I think the last hitting mechanic isn't very fun, but it's the only way I can think of that adds a component of skill to the game. The game degenerates really hard if you don't have something similar.

Yo Reach, for your Ashe build, try starting with Doran's Blade instead of boots. You'll find that your early game is much much stronger. Also, you should try and at least grab a Zeal, if not a Phantom Dancer, right after Infinity Edge. It not only gives you more survivability, but I'm not sure you can do the math and figure out that it gives you more of a boost in power than getting Last Whisper next.

Rumble is indeed crazy. He was banned the most back during the Dreamhack tournament and anytime he was picked that team won. They nerfed him slightly since then but I think he's still as insane as ever.

As for the community, it's really not that bad. You get a bunch of jerks occasionally, but you remember them and not the good players on your team because a single rotten apple spoils the barrel. Just ignore them and play how you normally would, you get used to it. Part of the experience that makes PvP great is that you can feel amazing after a well-played game but extremely frustrated after a bad game. PvP is absolutely essential to the game though. Without PvP, the game is basically Halo's campaign mode, Super Smash Brothers story mode, or a single-player flash game. If you thought LoL was bad, never touch HoN.

Re: League of Legends
 

Chaz, there's no chat closing button but there is a /ignoreall button.
Reach, rumble is retarded OP and there's no way around it right now.
Also TF is a top ban in High Elo because late game with his ult and a shit ton of AP he's an unstoppable backdooring champion.

Re: League of Legends
 

TF seems like he would be pretty lame in high ELO games because of his ultimate and his gold card. I mean, all of his cards are good but the stun and damage on gold is kind of retarded and in combination with his ultimate you can snipe any stragglers and immediately be in good position in any fight.


Do people usually do AP builds with TF though? Is there a difference between going AP and going AD? It seems like he could do both so I'm really confused as to what items to purchase with him.

As for Rumble, maxing his flame as fast as possible seems best, followed by his stun, though a level in his defensive definitely helps. He seems particularly annoying because his laning is amazing (Uh yeah the 'skill' argument for last killed minions is definitely not a factor when playing rumble, more like QQQQQQ) in combination with the fact that he's kind of a tank+DPS lol

I see the benefit of getting Zeal/Phantom before going Whisper (which you most definitely want eventually), but in an ideal situation wouldn't you rather skip DB? The faster you get IE the stronger Ashe ends up being, though I definitely see the benefit of getting DB since laning with Ashe can be hard before IE.

I'm guessing it's probably lane specific.

Re: League of Legends
 

no, getting one, two, or even three DB's early game with ashe gives you an insane lane presence and ability to gank/out DPS the person you are laning against. The goal early with ashe isn't as much to out farm the guy you are laning against as much as it is to get the one early kill so you can get a quicker bf sword(though this is really dependent on how competent your teammates are). Also once you learn to position yourself correctly with ashe I find Berseker's Greaves to be a much better item on her.

Also if you're having trouble getting the gold you need early game level up your e a bit more early on, the extra gold is huge.

Re: League of Legends
 

I don't seem to have that problem. I've played quite a few PVP matches and I've only come across a few babies that whine when something doesn't go their way, and all I do is laugh at them, tell them it's just a game and to chill out. If they don't, I don't pay attention to them. I've met a bunch of really cool dudes already, even when they were on the other team! We laughed and had a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, the last hitting minions thing really does suck. Especially when you're playing a character that does very little damage from auto-attacks. Minions usually get the last hit. And if you're laning with a partnet that has a strong auto-attack? Yeah, your gold pile is bone dry.
