Oh man you were right. I spent at least 8 hours yesterday playing this. Today seems to be slow day at work so I am going to play all day here too lol.

I am currently lvl 7, am really loving the amount of champions to choose from. Started out with "corki" a few games. Tried out the Garen and actually got some kills. Lots of deaths with these guys for me. Since I unlocked and started playing with Ryze I havent died once and have a small amount of kills. TONS of assists tho.

Feel free to add me, once I lvl and have good buffs I will take on some PvP action xD Summoner name: ELRayford

aram as nunu
got bitched at for ksing multiple times by a cassiopeia when i was 11/2/18 (other team surrendered before inhib turret went down)
admittedly i used e a few times on champs with almost no health and got kills off of that, but cass getting mad? wat
this game is suddenly fun a lot more often; only when the enemy team gets crazy shit like yi/cait/blitz/janna/some tank is it annoying

edit: should be noted that right after i made this post i had 3 games in a row where i went <3/double digit number/<9

So I was waiting for a friend of mine to sign on so we could play so I played a quick beginner bots match for yucks. There were two trolls in there who were intentionally feeding. I was soloing the bottom lane with Xin. I was dominating on my own and the trolls were getting butthurt that we could still win so they just left. So it was me, a Brand who semi- knew what he was doing, and a Cho that had no idea what he was doing. What followed was the most fun I have ever had playing LoL. Got my first pentakill. Was two-hitting Soraka, three-hitting everything else.

I'm not saying this match makes me good. I'm still fairly new to LoL. But it was just really fun to see what Xin was capable of.

[FFR4EVA_00]

apparently lol was involved in a multi-target ddos attack and isn't openly recognizing it
fun shit

[phe0nixblade]

that is a retarded build for xin fyi but since you were 46-1 whatever

[All_That_Chaz]

I'm always open to criticism. I'm fairly new. Why is it retarded and what do you suggest?

[MaxGhost]

It's a decent build, but I'd put bloodthirster in there instead of the 2nd PD.

[All_That_Chaz]

I find that lifesteal only matters in 1v1 for someone as squishy as Xin, which rarely happens lategame. But I definitely do use it sometimes when necessary. I was fed so badly that I didn't need it at all. I usually go for either a Bloodthirst or a Frost Mallet as the last item. For some reason I felt Trinity Force that time.

[MinaciousGrace]

!!!

[MaxGhost]

You're supposed to get it for the huge damage it gives, not so much the lifesteal.

[All_That_Chaz]

The extra crit and attack speed kind of nullify that, don't they? And if I was just after damage, why wouldn't I just get another Infinite Edge?

[phe0nixblade]

because a full farmed bloodthirster is more damage than a IE
protip: (notbeingadick) unique passives [such as IE 250% crit damage] dont stack so 2 IE's are worthless
my build for xin typically went:
merc treads
sword of the divine
black cleaver
blood thirster
(BIG MAYBE HERE, ONLY IF YOU ARE ROFLSTOMPING) get sword of the occult
then maybe some armour/magic resist

[All_That_Chaz]

I'm aware the passives from IE's don't stack lol. That's why what I was suggesting was ridiculous. Sarcasm didn't translate well, I guess. What I forgot was that the Bloodthirst gets more and more damaging as you farm.

I really think you're going to want some more attack speed than just a sword of the divine to take advantage of Xin's self-healing ability and you have no crit in your build which I consider a major part of mine. I've experimented with using the sword of the divine instead of one of the dancers but I didn't like the lack of crit. Building any armor seems contradictory to the playstyle of an assassin, since I want to build as much dmg as I can to fulfill my role. I never use occult/soulstealer because they are completely dependent on being fed.

Unless you are 100% certain you're going to get a kill every time you go for one, building glass cannon isn't the best idea. Even if it's just a chain vest and negatron cloak (1440 gold for 40~ armor and 48 mr) it'll give you a LOT more survivability.

Also, don't base ideas entirely off of co-op vs AI. Incorporate them into 5v5 games and adjust them until you have something that works consistently.

[phe0nixblade]

black cleaver passive's are attack speed and armor debuff..
sword of the divine makes his attacks unable to be dodged

[stargroup100]

The trick to builds is understanding two things: the mechanics of the game and strategy.

You have to understand what each item gives you, and what each stat is used for in specific circumstances.

For example, if the enemy team doesn't have crowd control to stop you, you can afford to build a little bit more power over survivability so you can output as much damage as possible. However, if the enemy does have crowd control, focus fire will kill you instantly, so you should build survivability in this case.

If you're a newb to the game, don't worry about all of this. Just go with standard builds that the level 30's tell you, and try them out to get a feel for them. Once you reach get enough experience you'll be able to judge for yourself how each item synergizes with specific strategies. Maybe you'll even grab that one oddball item that wins the game (has happened to me plenty of times).

[All_That_Chaz]

I am aware that I need a LOT more experience in pvp. I generally dislike pvp because 99.999% of players are douchebags.

My major issue with building survivability over glass cannon is that I feel that if I only use one of my item slots for more survivability, it won't make any difference as far as how easily I'm killed and I'd be better off maxing dmg. But then if I devote too much space to survivability then I can't kill my enemies. So I've just been building glass cannons and if I find myself in a situation where I'll probably die, I dash to the weakest guy I see and try to take them out with me.

I do understand a few differences that the opponents bring to my build. Such as if there are tanky opponents I'll usually try to build a madred's bloodrazor somewhere. I haven't seen much dodge being built but naturally if there is I'd build a sword of the divine.

My problem is that I'm lvl20 but I'm newbish because I hate pvp and barely ever play it, and when I do it's with my friends who are lvl30 and I get raped by the lvl30s we end up playing against. I'm only 19-14 in pvp but most of my competition has played hundreds of matches so I'm just outdone by a lack of experience. I feel like I missed out on playing lower level opponents.

playing with experienced friends has its pros and cons

pro- ur gonna learn a ****ton faster (probably) skip entire phases of bad habits and terrible play and generally end up a better player in the long run (read: happier player)

cons- its ****ing torture for the first 100 games but w.e no pain no gain
