Amumu isn't the one who should be getting the kills and doing the damage in a gank. He's just there to try and slow the enemy so the people in the lane can do the damage.

I think I have a dislike for junglers because the one friend I have who jungles is absolutly horrid at it. Not only that, but he'd pick to jungle when we don't have anyone who could handle a second solo lane besides mid. Also, he's fond of trying new things. Jungle Karthus is his most recent one. Sure, you can jungle as Karthus. Doesn't mean you should. At least he stopped when we realized it was Teemo vs Ashe and Heimer on top.

[Vandole]

lol qeo i was about to bitch you out saying i can jungle pretty well, but then i kept reading and i dont have karthus... just because my faggot friend stonewall makes a video doesnt mean it should be done. people are stupid


also, if you have a jungler someone should man the fuck up and pick a solo laner.

[Djghost454]

Karth should take the solo lane, not the jungle... the jungler is there to let karth ult sooner.

[Qeomash]

Has anyone else noticed that anytime a new "epic" skin comes out, most of the first people you see with it are absolutely terrible?

[Tyrath]

Anyone else tried out the co-op vs ai stuff? I think its great when you just wanna fuck around on a champion or try some OP builds for fun.

[Nama]

Co-op vs AI is alright, the bots are smarter and play better especially ranged ones like MF. However even being smarter they are rather retarded sometimes or don't play like a person would play them. Biggest example be when they chase people. Played 2 games last night the Warwick bot would never chase people beyond 2 seconds even tho he was guaranteed a kill(did this 4-5 times) and both games we had the entire bot team chase someone from their inhibitor turret all the way to our jungle all the while ignoring the other 4 on our team pushing the nexus.

[QUOTE=Qeomash;4469347]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!"

I've unlocked and played her last night and had a blast with her. The Mantra infused Shield was a great harass for several champs I faced against (long as my lane partner wasn't getting hit so much that I had to heal him constantly). I found that I've killed more often on Karma than Soraka but to be expected I suppose when I heal teammates while damaging enemies too in team fights. Using her spirit bond is great for running away or getting to lanes/team fights and even slowing down enemies that try to run. Funny to use it on a minion to run with.

As usual though with both Karma and Soraka, they're really dependent on good teammates. Need to be faster with my ability clicking since I sometimes think I am on Soraka when trying to heal and hit W instead of Q by accident. A shame she couldn't be a little better, a third mantra would make me happy =x

I liked it, wasn't hard with some skilled players on my team going at it like a real match but when I solo queued one with these four german players, we just fell pretty quickly. But I guess part of the reason was since it was against bots they were not taking it seriously and would even do taunts at the spawn/shop saying "Gay parade!" for two minutes before continuing.

Still, it's a nice way to test characters and different ideas. Allowed me to play some Udyr jungling--later to realize I need specific runes to jungle faster and better :\

[Falaras]

Bought Akali today and even though I don't have a custom rune page to activate her passives I am loving playing her. Not sure if I should start with Amp Tome + Pot or Dblade or Long Sword + Pot first though.

[The_OG_Nelta]

Dorans blade to activate her spellvamp passive. Helps you stay in lane longer.

[Kaope]

Seriously, riot should give us more rune pages. ATM, 3 rune pages are definitely not enough, I'd rather they give us a choice, 10k IP = 1 extra rune page or something.

You can get more rune pages, for 6300 IP / 590 RP each, or 7 for 2600 RP...

Holy shit... I never knew that! Attack Speed & Energy Runes~~ Here i come!

[Falaras]

Long Sword can also activate that passive too though. I just wish I had the IP to spend on an extra rune page and even extra runes to activate them both from the start!

If you play safe, with the life steal on Dorans blade+Passive, you should be able to stay in lane a lot longer than with Long sword + Pot. If you have a solo lane, you should be playing it safe until 6.

Jungle Karthus is the shit yo. You have to see me rape faces with mah Jungle Karth

If you can land the Bandage toss, he ganks better than most pre-6 junglers.

Amumu is amazing. You should watch some tournament play from top NA/EU teams. They always run Amumu/Nunu for a reason.

[Serif]

I just found out about this game 3 days ago and I am hooked.

Where would be the best forum or website to see the standard builds?

I have been playing with Janna ever since I unlocked her. She is fun :O

Any advice or tips?

[Rivero]

I think its mobafire.com or leaguecraft.com

Advice on Janna...Grab as much AP as possible, save your shields for key moments since they only last a few seconds now, use your Tornado frequently (if there are opponents with channeling spells keep an observant eye on the field and try to interrupt them; Nunu and Katarina are prime examples)

Also I cannot stress how annoying the ultimate is to learn, it can either do amazing things for your team or fuck them up completely, try to be a bit cautious before you pop your ult because you are most likely going to use it for its knock-back effect rather than it's healing component which isn't as useful. Try to gauge the situation but when it comes down to it you're just going to have to play a lot to get a feel for good ults and bad ults.

You can also do a traditional build like Aegis/Soul Shroud but trust me when I say a Catalyst/Rabadon's combo is much better.

As far as summoners go....Always run Flash and the second pick is based on your preference. Ghost or Ignite are pretty good choices. Maybe Clarity if you don't have any mp5 runes yet.

Do you have a link to the Catalyst/Rabadon's build?

[The_OG_Nelta]

Catalyst sure, but rabadons is just too damn expensive on her. She is a walking CC stick, and meant to play support, not AP. Though I do understand that AP increases her shield, I would rather go overall Aura and SUPPORT the team, plus the cooldown is incredibly nice.

Though with her nerf, she is still the walking slut of assist, so feel free to grab a soul stealers on her, usually works wonders..

I've been playing off and on for quite a while now and just hit 30. My favorite champ is singed and I'm curious on you guyz' opinions about runes/masteries. I do pretty well with my current setup of 0/21/9 mpen marks, mp5 yellow, straight mana blue, and two hp quints(haven't bought a 3rd yet).

Mainly, I'm thinking about switching to 3x movespeed quints and 9x dodge runes so that during laning skirmishes/team fights I could dodge a minion attack for +10% movespeed(currently I have 0 in dodge/that mastery). And I see a lot of singed go 9/0/21 for magic pen in offensive and the 3% movespeed+ from utility but I feel like 4% reduced damage is the single best point to be spent in the trees.

Also, I start with mana crystal and 2 health pots to build into catalyst -> boots -> depending on situation RoA or other stuff and I'm curious if there's a better starting build.
