AP adds a bit more damage to his E and will help you clear more quickly. It takes a lot of AP to add more damage to his W (.005 ratio), so you're really only adding the AP to make his clear time faster, or your ganks a little bit stronger (1.0 ratio on his q, if you hit it).

Doesn't it set your late-game items back a lot, though?

quick story - a while back I accidentally broke my girlfriend's laptop. It still mostly works, but I bent the heating metal thingy and half of her screen doesn't work. It's about 2 years old, but she really liked the model and everything, so we're looking into buying a newer version of the same model. Both laptops use DDR3 RAM, so that's not an issue I think. The one I broke had 8 GB of RAM, andd the new one will come with 4. I'm cheap so I want to try to save money and I was thinking maybe I could move 4 GB from the old laptop to the new one. I don't know a whole bunch about computers, so any advice will probably help.

Well if you're playing him jungle you need a bit more damage, and I know a fair amount of people run APen reds on him for early harass. I find that Randuins is generally unnecessary if you have FH, so I'll only upgrade my HoG if we get to end-game and there's a big AD presence on the enemy team. I know some people play him with an AP twist, and I don't really like that very much either, because he only has 2 moves with AP ratios - one is more for utility and is a skillshot, and the other is his ultimate. Both have decent cooldowns, so I find that AP is kind of wasted on him. Sheen costs more than other early game items I'd rather have, such as Kindlegem or Glacial Shroud. But if you want to be aggressive, hell yeah Sheen is crazy damage output, especially with his E.

I used to be good at Blitzcrank. Then something happened to me and ever since I've missed 80% of all grabs. >_>

He is definitely fun, though. I personally prefer to play him more as a Blitztank, I don't really like the APen and AD set-up that Phreak used for him in his spotlight. Shurries and Fh are so amazing on him.

Europeans don't really run suicide Karthus nor do they see it as a strategy from what I've seen. They treat Karthus' passive like Anivia's; it's a second chance in case they make a mistake, not an excuse to go super aggro.

Also pro players dont sit in Karthus ult when he goes in suicide. They exhuast him and kill him and then move back and fight 4on5.

I generally agree with the assessment that Karthus' passive shouldn't be used to suicide willy nilly (it's pretty bad unless you can force a fight, ie. Jarvan ult), but in siege positions you should be suiciding to create short positional advantages if there's no major objectives out on the map. Doubly so if you have no way to force a fight.

Maybe it's just because I've had a lot of dominion experience, which contains constant situations with a defender's advantage, but if Karth is ever forced to lane swap out of bot, he basically has to suicide on points to ever contribute to a point attack unless your team has another good way to initiate (and even then, he generally converges to trying to die on point anyways).

Actually, it's even more generic than THAT. In Starcraft 2, there's a well known saying: "when you are ahead, get more ahead." In short, if you have an advantage, you should not take a risk to attempt to end the game immediately and instead leverage your advantage to turn it into an overwhelming one.

However, in LoL (well, in SC as well, it's just a lot harder to measure), there's an eventual limit to being ahead. If you have baron and the buffs, and you've filled all your item slots, that's it. That's as far ahead as you can get. So any progress on your opponent's side (and due to how it works, LoL has constant progress) at that point makes you less ahead. So you must take action before that point. You can't do what M5 did and try to leverage your advantage for half an hour.

M5 must have realised their only way get a tactical advantage was to poke them down with Corki (which wasn't working because they had too much heal and creep clearing) or to leverage the fact that CLG can't go where defile is, so the late game will heavily favour CLG if they're on the defence unless Karth suicides.

I really like this post. Watching a lot of Day[9] has me thinking in a specific mindset a lot of the time, and I really like how you use the "get more ahead" thing and relate it to LoL. It's why I generally dislike being needlessly aggressive, because I grew up with SC and BW. But like you said, in LoL, there are definite plateaus - once you've got six items and 3 elixirs, your build can't really get any better - unless you're an AD carry swapping out AS boots for a PD or something like that. Sometimes you can sell your early/mid-game items for better late-game items, but the benefits there are much smaller than the other team adding a full item in a slot, not just modifying one of their slots.

Queue dodgers can make a "oh I have two hours, I should be able to fit two or three games of league in" into a "well just finished the first game and I have to be somewhere in 20 minutes" because it just takes so long to get into a game.

CLGEU and M5 are both great teams, but my cheering will always go out to CLGEU. I love 'em, each player is awesome.

Speaking of strong teams right now, TSM has been doing really well lately. Even without their Karthus/Nocturne/Kayle combo they can run generic comps and still come out on top.

Realo, what about if your top has a weak level 1 and they can't really harass much before you get there?

This sounds cool. I really liked the previous rap battle, but I had trouble keeping up with all the different battles going on. I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to making my own raps, but I'd like to try it out, so put me down for the lightweight division. I can also volunteer to be a judge, I guess. As long as there's a good amount of judges and I don't have to vote for each and every battle, I can do it. Like I said, I had a lot of fun reading the battles, but I eventually just got behind and didn't have it in me to read them all.

If your lane phase is bad with Alistar but teamfighting is good, definitely try Jungle Ali. It's all of the killing parts with none of the supporting.
What route is best? Should I get any AP for him? Are there any 'tricks' I should know for jungle ali? What build? My main role is support and I've slowly picked up just a couple junglers (Yi, Amumu, Maokai, and Jarvan from best to worth with how good I am with them). I'm guessing I should play him sort of like Maokai?

I've never tried jungle Ali. I'm 'ok' at best with him as a support. My laning phase is much worse than that of my other supports, but my teamfighting tends to be pretty decent.
