I mentioned that she could still be a huge letdown if her ratios were really bad. And imo Shyvana isn't half bad early game, she just doesn't do a whole lot late game (aside from being a massive damage soak/initiator) + she has one of the fastest jungle clears (even though her ganks are shit tier)

pretty sure my ult was 1 hit kill on kennen and heimer haha. Game took so long because I was playing super cautiously to try to stay at 0 deaths while my team seemed to only want to push if they were all alone.

Ratios are really important

AP Shaco sounds really dumb when only reading his abilities, but it can be somewhat practical if the player behind it is doing it well.

[phe0nixblade]

ap shaco is hilarious and not really great for a team
but if the enemies are fuccen dumb its amazing

[xferrarix]

AP shaco is a hilarious mid

people expect you to box the river bushes, but if you put them in front of it instead you can destroy a gank they were trying to set up on you

queue over 20000 fuuuuuuuuuu
edit: i have deduced via random number logic that the queue was, in fact, approximately 60-80k
holy what the ****

Used Ahri for a few games..

Doesn't scale well at all into lategame.

[phe0nixblade]

ahri looks to be pretty good but idk till i get to play her so

[MagicCarpetRide]

Riot seems to make all new champs slightly op so that everyone will buy them, then 2 weeks later nerf them. It's good marketing I guess.

Just snowball really hard, using your early game strength as an advantage. Every game i've played with her i normally mid, grab a kill at level 2 after poking a few times with q, then from there snowball out. Sometimes i have to wait till 6 and gank side lanes to start the ball really rolling, but her midgame gets ridiculous (1v3ing them while their tank is there, for example) and she maintains usability, if not over-the-top strength, into lategame if you manage to continue to shit on their team repeatedly.

That being said, you can't win the game for your team unless they stick with you, because you kill towers just a little too slowly and can't down dragon and baron very easily.

The hardest thing about her, imo, is using your w properly in conjunction with q and e. Sure, you can rush in and get off a massive nuke with your w, but then your q will be harder to land, and you could easily miss e with how thin it is. The best way to combo (at least with my playstyle) is to q, dash in, w, charm, dash out, q again, dash in and w if they still aren't dead. Normally i can drop people before i even use the second dash. And keep in mind her q actually goes just beyond what the targeting line shows, if you can land it at the tip you don't have to worry about them dodging the second half, not to mention it's much more satisfying seeing their health lose a massive chunk instantly.

I'm done with this game

[lumphoboextreme]

Yeah I'm starting to give up too. :/

[xferrarix]

I gave up too, back to the drawing board of video games to find something that's appealing for a few months that isn't Stepmania

[Kibblre]

Interest in DotA 2 seems to be correlating with my slow decrease of interest in League.

[hi19hi19]

Riot seems to be very good at shooting their own foot

[The5thMoon]

Been jungling with wukong for a couple games and just been dominating, monkey king too strong.

[speeddemon]

Honestly the only reason i see to dislike the game is the people who you random with that derp up the team, which can be avoided by playing with friends n stuff. That and trying to claw out of elo hell, which comes back to the whole playing with derps thing.

And yeah wu is pretty cool, he's overbuffed imo, but i mained him for a while before that as a solotop and decently snowballed nearly every game. After the buffs i would get about the same number of kills as before with half or less deaths.

[lumphoboextreme]

Yeah I'm just really pumped for Diablo 3. Gonna be legit.
