Any advice regarding use of Clairvoyance? Was using it on Lux after being advised here to use it over Clarity and found it useful but don't think I am taking full advantage of it. Naturally, I check dragon and baron when appropriate and at the start to see who is going where but other than that it is difficult. Randomly throwing it out in the jungle and river during MIAs seem to be the only way I can figure. May try using it on Soraka too although using Heal in conjunction with Wish/Astral during "oh shi--" team fight moments has been very helpful in getting away with a sliver of health.

Speaking of Soraka, I took the advice of others but still found going Doran --> Morello (or Ionian boots) --> Ionian boots (or Morello) --> Deathcap --> other AP to be better for me. CDR is too helpful I found for all her abilities with their cooldown. The buff to Morello made me quite happy with just 5% shy from the cap now with this setup.

Decided to get Udyr so I can have a jungler under my belt since I read that an advantageous team has a jungler. Always liked Udyr when my friend used him and gave him a try. He's fun but fairly difficult to play even with various build guides and jungle strats. Phoenix DPS / Pheonix Tank seems to be the way to go from most I saw. Still figuring builds since I don't have all the proper runes yet to make jungling easier.

I can honestly say I've never been afraid of a Corki lol. I'm sure I've just never seen him played right, but hes just so rare I've never run into any really good ones. Same goes for Cassiopeia and Karma.

Ha I was considering to get Karma next before getting more runes. Yeah I noticed she isn't superb by any means but I just enjoy support-ish jobs and would like to give her a go after watching some videos.

Lore:

Before Nocturne, people believed that dreams were figments of their imaginations, meaningless images that flashed through the mind when one slept. This belief was put to the test when a rash of sleep-related incidents started afflicting summoners of the League. Some would wake up screaming, terrified and beyond consolation. Some could not fall asleep, slowly going mad as the nights ticked by. Some simply never woke up. Physicians were baffled until a Field Architect happened to pass out next to a nexus on The Twisted Treeline. Witnesses said he cried out once and then stopped breathing. Immediately after, magical energy arced out from the nexus, and Nocturne appeared.

Nocturne did not take his introduction to this world kindly. He slaughtered everything he could find before summoners were able to magically confine him. After a period of intense study, League experts divined that Nocturne hunted summoners in their sleep, attacking them in a place where their magic was useless. This seemed to be his only purpose. The families of the victims demanded justice, but League officials were concerned that death might only return Nocturne to the place from which he came. They bound him to a nexus fragment, trapping him in the physical world. As punishment for his crimes, they allowed summoners to call upon Nocturne in League matches, bending his will to the summoners he hates and creating his own personal nightmare. League scholars don’t know whether he truly came from the plane of dreams, or whether there are any more like him. Some theorize that the summoning act affected summoners’ the subconscious minds, luring Nocturne to them in their sleep. Perhaps the most disturbing theory is that Nocturne is a person’s nightmare come to life. If this is true, they wonder, who is the dreamer?

Abilities:

Duskbringer: Nocturne throws a shadow blade which deals damage, leaves a Dusk Trail, and causes champions to leave a Dusk Trail. While on the trail, Nocturne ignores unit collision and has increased Movement Speed.

Shroud of Darkness: Nocturne empowers his blades, passively gaining attack speed. Activating Shroud of Darkness allows Nocturne fades into the shadows, creating a magical barrier which blocks a single enemy spell and doubles his passive attack speed if successful.

Unspeakable Horror: Nocturne plants a nightmare into his target's mind, dealing damage each second and fearing the target if they do not get out of range by the end of the duration.

Paranoia (Ultimate): Nocturne reduces the sight radius of all enemy champions and removes their ally vision in the process. He can then launch himself at a nearby enemy champion.

Umbra Blades (Passive): Every 10 seconds, Nocturne's next attack strikes surrounding enemies for physical damage and heals himself for each target hit. Nocturne's physical attacks reduce this cooldown by 1 second.

Going to be a fun champ.

Karma has some crazy harass and having a heal and a shield is pretty amazing. To be honest for some reason most Karma players are complete shit, and yeah sure most players are complete shit but I've only met a few Karma players that even know how to harass with her which is crazy. She might be a little underpowered right now but honestly so is every other support champion besides like Zil, Janna, and Sona, even Riot has said they wanted to buff most the support. Then they said they wanted to nerf my Lux /angryface.

[Lebzile]

Sona IS underpowered with the removal of locket. She is trash now.

[Qeomash]

On Karma:
A good Karma is annoying as hell. Sure, she's not going to get kills very often (though her shield explosion can do significant damage early and mid game). Her real power is in her heal and run away shield thing. "We've almost killed him!" Karma: "Nuh-uh!"

On Corki:
Yes, I have been scared of a Corki on a couple of occasions. He usually mellows out later game, but early and mid...those missiles hurt. Friend of mine picked him up simply because, "Nobody plays him." And, yeah, I'd be afraid of fighting him as Corki...

On Clairvoyance:
I'm personally pretty bad with it and just prefer other abilities more. One friend I play with uses it on probably half his champions pretty effectively. He just uses it to scout nearby us, looking for possible upcoming ganks. He uses it purely for defensive measures usually, except for checking Dragon/Baron/Buffs. For offense it's much harder, as most people will see the giant floating eye. You can, however, position the eye to the side of what you're actually wanting to look at to make it less likely to be spotted by the enemy.

If you're running Clairvoyance in a normal game it just comes off as tryhardish. Clairvoyance is a staple for Ranked and should be used off your judgement I guess. Obvious Dragon/Nashor checks aside, sometimes your jungler will call for a CV if he's good. You can CV check certain camps if you know how their jungler handles himself in the jungle (It helps to have jungled and played this hero so you have a good idea of how long it takes them to clear camps and at what general moments they will be in red/blue/etc) CV is great but by no means necessary. If you plan on playing ranked with support, practicing in normals is alright I guess, honestly as long as you're CVing Nashor and Dragon you're pretty much doing a good job.

[Gryffes]

You should be using CV every cooldown to scout jungle camps and keep tabs on their jungler, it's really useful for helping idiotic teammates avoid getting ganked earlygame and lets you scout dragon/baron as well obv. Also useful if you're like me and you think "hmm I bet there's someone in that bush" so you CV it instead of facechecking it and dying

[Rivero]

Yeah, that too. It has a ridiculously short CD if you take 21 down Utility which you should always be doing anyway.

[The_OG_Nelta]

yup. 21 Utility on any character you play. Always.

[Rivero]

21utility4life(esp on tryndamere)

[Lebzile]

Need that mana regen on him, mang.

[Vandole]

<<removed due to copyright problems>>

new character is like the dark lady on HoN minus the global ult

[Qeomash]

lolWhoNeedsMagicResistance?

Spoiler: show

And, wow, Nocturne looks fun. Also, annoying as fuck.

[BlackMoomba]

Shen's ult can now go fuck itself. He also looks like a jungler from the item's Phreak made and smite. I say his ult is also better than Dark Lady's, and he's got Specters (DotA) dagger, wonder if you can run over terrain and even off the map like you could with Specter. Can't wait for him!

[Rivero]

Oh man Spectre in LoL. Can't wait to try him out. I hope he'll be 4800 but knowing Riot it's gonna be 6300.

[Tyrath]

I hope hes 4800, Dragon Age 2 has made it so I dont have 6300 waiting this week ;(

[Rivero]

You got time to farm. I'm pretty sure he won't be out for another 5-6 days.

[Arvin]

favorite thing ever is when people let me farm when i play irelia, it owns. 20 min surrender, had 180 cs in like 15 min.

[Falaras]

Just played a rank game where my whole team hated each other from the pick screen alone. I ended up going 0/9/11 on Miss Fortune because our only stuns where WW and Anivia. WW would ult someone dumb like their Amumu and Anivia would get blown up by Katarina/Yi. The sad part is I was actually playing really good, I got about five ults off that hit everyone and went full channel throughout the game and won my lane pretty hard (First tower kill), but since after my ult everyone would blow me up I would die and someone like our morde would walk around grabbing up the free kills and then tell me how bad I was for having a low score. Sometimes this game just pisses me off.

[Djghost454]

I went 0/12/37 as mundo one game and got reported for feeding because I had no kills. We won, I did my job of distracting the enemy team and allowing my team to kill them. Every time I would chase someone that I would end up killing the TF on our team would ult in and KS me, which is why I had no kills.

People piss me off sometimes as well.
