I got a compliment as support Alistar

I don't even like support

Felt gud anyways

Also, I find Kayle's playstyle odd. She is an autoattack focused champion, but she needs CDR and mana regen to keep an ability up that makes her autoattacks actually work, without that ability being up 24/7 she's a support caster.

yeah, I definitely need a lot more practice with Kayle still. Mostly I need to work on paying attention to when her range is up, and figuring out some solid builds. She's so good at a lot of different roles and I only really played her top lane when she was free.

Once I get a Nashors and a Guinsoos, I feel like I could go in so many different directions, I just don't know where. Should I get a triforce for tons of damage? Should I get bulkier stuff? Should I try on-hit effects, like Frozen Mallet or BoRK? Should I go full AP, or get some more AD?

Just some theories floating around, but I want to try different things and I like how flexible she is as a champ.

To get or not to get Olaf. Sure I want him, but, RP.

Olaf has recently dived in popularity and in wins.
He was heavily nerfed last month, and it has affected him pretty hard.

It may not be the best time to get him. Waiting until the meta changes, and getting somebody else might be the best choice.

Often it's hybrid, with leaning on AD. Or you can go full AD carry with her too, it's also popular.

I want Olaf anyways, wether he's good at the moment or not. I don't know if I should get him from the current sale or wait or whatever; I want Debonair Jayce, but that's a little more than 100 RP missing. And buying a 3150 IP champ with RP feels sort of silly too.

Since I started I always take a break from LoL during the winter, mostly because of school but also because of exhausting the fun out of the game. I want to try Quinn though, I like how her skills work.

Catching some LCS games while I'm at work. I'm looking forward to seeing how Curse does but mostly I'm seeing if there are any pro strats I can absorb by watching.

I'm seeing a lot of games with people building a Locket of the Iron Solari... has it gotten any better? I used to get it all the time on Nautilus but I haven't thought about it much lately. It almost seems like people are turning to Kindlegem now instead of a Heart of Gold for that early health boost, and that could be another reason I'm seeing more Locket use. It does give some good stats after all.

Plus it's a relatively cheap 3rd tier item.

how is curse this unstoppable

I feel like SaintVicious and Voyboy should just high five whenever they go balls deep and survive where anyone else would die

[SaintCrazy]

I wish I could just dive into the enemy team like that and have my team instantly swoop in to back me up. They have some really good coordination.

[[Insert Fail]]

I'm saving up my IP for Quinn (will probably have to wait until the second week she's out, a bloo bloo)

After that I'm thinking Kayle and Soraka because they're cheap. Even though my friends hate Soraka. She's just so.... easy to play.

Also, I find Kayle's playstyle odd. She is an autoattack focused champion, but she needs CDR and mana regen to keep an ability up that makes her autoattacks actually work, without that ability being up 24/7 she's a support caster.

Kayle is one of the harder top-lane carries these days. She's a great counter-pick to some of the top-tier top-laners.

a recent penny arcade comic voices how I exactly about going into matches these days
I can't post it because IE is crap
either that or it's because I'm using a school computer

[SaintCrazy]

Oh my God guys

Valor gets the callout when he gets the kill instead of Quinn

One more week and this champ will be mine

[Tammerath]

Get it together North American LCS

A 40 minute delay because of a PC change

Come on guys

EDIT: Goddang full-power Nidalee spears are scary

[Doormaster]

pre LCS: what the fuck is a blade of the fluid ring

during LCS: EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T BUILD BOTRK IS A NOOBLORD

[Eat_box]

OMG WHY DIDN'T YOU BAN XERATH

NO VOLIBEAR JUNGLE? GG WE LOSE

Seriously though, someone did the math and found out that a botrk does about the same damage as an IE against squishy targets and even more against tankier ones when it's your first item completed.
