Re: League of Legends

Any Kayle suggestions? I normally support or tank, but kayle can do almost anything, albeit not as well as everyone else. Just wondering is she best as a dps/support hybrid or more tanky dps or pure support or what.

You can really go any way you want though, her hybrid is pretty strong as are her ap and ad, and you can even go on hit if you want.

AD Bot
Phantom Dancers and Bloodthirsters are really all you need. Maybe a Scimitar to make it so you don't get cc'd through your ult. Max R > E > Q > W, or if you want to get more early kills Q first.

AP
Typical AP build will work fine, splash in a Malady and Lich Bane of course. Most of the other stuff is optional. R > Q > W > E.

AD Top or Jungle
Rush an early Zephyr, it's ridiculously strong on her. From there you can either opt into the AD build above, eventually selling your Zephyr, or you can go a little tankier with things like Black Cleaver and Triforce. R > Q > W > E.

Support
Really just an aura whore basically, splash a little ap for bigger heals. R > W > Q > E, or R > Q til 3 > W > E, depending on how much offense you want. Get a point in E to help layer on your passive, otherwise ignore it.

Hybrid
Gunblade and Rageblade, Malady and Zephyr also strong. R, and then everything is situational. Q for strong early, W for great laning, E for a stronger midgame/creep clear.

Wouldn't really recommend go mostly tank heavy.

If someone actually got Thresh today, can someone tell me if he's worth buying before I waste 7800 on him?

unless you're a support main he ain't worth it. esp considering his first week released you're prolly not gonna get to play him often (not worth the extra 1500 cost if you cant play him much first week)

Played with a guy who played him and he seemed to enjoy him, but he seems rather technical and really skill based. Messing up an ability like flail or not positioning your lantern just messes up your team.

As an aside, I'm glad udyr's getting more love

He's such a strong champion, he just gets kited far too easily. I could see him becoming more viable if instead of the increased armor and magic resist for his monkey stance, they had given him cc reduction.

udyr is a beast

he can get kited easily but hes easily one of the most annoying tanks in the game with that bear stance

Re: League of Legends

Yeah dude. I'd like to pick up Udyr again. I sucked ass with him the first time. lol

Re: League of Legends

Oh my god this

Someone in my call last night was saying how bad Nami is but said thresh is the best support to hit the game. I for one think Thresh is worse, not because of his kit per say but his reliance on synchronization with your ADC to make him worth it. (We all know how stupid people can be, so this is more of a hindrance than Nami's AP ratios if you asked me. on top of that I think she's good anyways, despite her smaller damage output, her purpose isn't damage it's to disrupt the lane and feed her carry. She's not really meant to do all too much damage.)

But somehow the kill lane we ran bot went very well...

I was jungle as Lee Sin and I gave the bot lane Pantheon blue to just get them going (we were in a call so he was chatting with me what he wanted to do.)

I'm very glad he did not disappoint me. At one point in the game we were team fighting and he literally had 4k stock piled cause he was too busy killing everyone. It was hilarious.

Though it was a shitty lee sin game for me. I died to red buff due to a misclick. /headdesk

I used to agree, but now there are better ways to fill the slots, and you can usually get enough cdr from other things to keep E up without any real downtime. It's still a great item for her, but not necessary.

Re: League of Legends

Thresh combines the skill of having to hit Blitzcrank hooks with less reward- it doesn't pull as far or do as much damage (lvl 1 for blitz's pull into CC does 191 before runes and shit, Thresh's combo does 145 and only slows instead of CCs)
That said his kit for ganking is just stupidly good, but only if you, your ADC and your jungle synchronize well (ganking for a Thresh lane where the Thresh hits all his skillshot = free kills) Being able to pull your jungler into lane with a shield turns every jungle more or less into a Nocturne ult...
From what I can tell he is pretty much permabanned in high ELO but at lower ELOs where people don't hit like 90% of everything, he suffers from "free Blitzcrank week" issues. People not used to his soul harvesting mechanic yet and don't hit the pr0 hooks that make him a good aggressive support.

Re: League of Legends

ap kayle is bad lol

quick, let me make my end game complete garbage and my mid game not as good as it could be. then let me make my early game awful

edit: hybrid kayle is the most obnoxious top lane if they get farmed up in cs/kills.. youre forced to rush a bulwark or ga as a jungler/tanky top lane/support bc theyre the only items that can give you mixed resistances in one buy

i've actually seen ap kayle dominate games before rofl.
