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

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.

OMG REACH IS PLAYING NOW

yo reach let's queue up together sometime

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.

You can thank me later, sexy. ;*

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:

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

90% of this is bullshit, ignore it.

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

[_Stepdude_]

Gj MaxGhost! Oh btw, I'm 30 too 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.

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

Yes.

[All_That_Chaz]

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?
