Loss ~ Amumu ~ 2-7-9 (1.57) [-12] 1815 [45]
Team Leblanc destroys enemy Ahri, but we don't close the game in time so we lose.

Loss ~ Gangplank ~ 0-4-4 (1.00) [-12] 1803 [45]
Enemy Ahri is on OUR team this time. She is bad so we lose.

Loss ~ Kayle ~ 1-5-9 (2.00) [-13] 1790 [45]
Enemy/Allied Ahri is one OUR team again. She plays tryndamere this time, and toes TERRIBLE. We lose.

Loss ~ Shyvana ~ 8-8-6 (1.75) [-13] 1777 [45]
I want to cry ;_;. Started 8-2-4 or something. Team throws it away.

Win ~ Dr. Mundo ~ 0-3-12 (4.00) [+13] 1790 [45]
Support mundo. Yup. (Our jungle panth played well)

Win ~ Udyr ~ 2-1-2 (4.00) [+13] 1803 [45]
Our bottom wrecked this game. Such a huge advantage when you can almost completely ignore a lane and it will destroy anyways.


We built a nice 4 game losing streak and snapped it.


Also our stats on which picks we get over 130 games now:
1-2 Pick: 4
2-3 Pick: 12
3-4 Pick: 45
3-5 Pick: 1
4-5 Pick: 68
(after 130)


In the middle of an 8 game 4-5 pick streak.

Meh, I've been doing good, other than losing one game because Riot can't balance.

Leblanc and Singed are rediculous. LB needs to be fixed badly; dominating early game and then sucking the rest is not balanced :/

Actually, it kind of is. LB has such an easy time of absolutely destroying early, there has to be a way to compensate.

I usually go boots+3->catalyst->MPen Boots->RoA->Deathcap

Well, poorly worded. It's balanced KIND OF, but it's still terrible gameplay. Having a stronger early game than late game is fine, but not to that degree, because all that does is make for unfun and unfair gameplay, and completely ruin the game for whoever is going against her mid since there really is no solution to her. She needs fixing, badly.

More than anything for me Leblanc needs fixing because she's not tricky enough. I'd love her silence nuke be replaced with something that serves a more interesting purpose than nuking things

I mean, she's not all bad at least her passive and teleport are tricky-- at least she tries unlike Swain whose "master tactics" involve activating the ult and running in.

Maybe I'm the only one who cares about the champions actually being true to their flavor though.

The problem is that riot billed themselves as the simple mans dota, so they can't actually do anything complicated.

For instance, I saw a video of one of their champion designers speaking at a conference, and he described the process for the Monkey king. In order to be true to lore, the original design had a permanent clone that was always with you, and the player needed to control both avatars. Then they realized that they were designing their most complex champion ever, which they did not feel was appropriate for the mascot champion of a new market. They went on to release the incredibly boring and bland Wukong that we have today.

My biggest horror at Dota was random picking a champion and then realizing I had zero idea how to use him effectively and getting thrashed.

I kind of appreciate the fact that picking a hard to use champion means that I'm not going to do very much damage, and not I'm going to die 30 times in a row because I don't even understand what his moves do.

Everytime I see someone complain about solo queue, I'm reminded of one guy (of course, this is before lv 30, thus not as bad), we all picked before him, but left out a Tank.

He had to pick Malphite and was ticked about solo queue because of it, and he laned with a Yi.

They had to quit at 20:00 mins because the Xerath mid (me) and the Malphite (he kept freaking out because the Yi wouldn't get the kills) were both fed way too much.

He no longer hates solo queue.

Also I've been using alot of solo top pantheon lately and it's quite silly how good he is. The néw mana masteries seriously helped he and malphitr out tremendously. If the enemy has no ranged ability they get chucked to death. If they have one like GP you just proc your passive and trade its hilarious.

And yet complexity does not equal depth. The most respected fighting game in the world is piss-easy compared to today's offerings in mechanics, but people are still discovering new things about it.

Since the AI is known to cheat, my best guess is that they have an innate amount of dodge for whatever reason (To mimic masteries, maybe?) and dodge as a statistic hasn't been removed, just any legal methods of obtaining it.

FD, have you ever run solo top Kayle as an ad bruiser? I ask because it wrecks faces at my elo and I'm wondering if it's just because of the skill level. It feels like no one can fight her up there. She has Janna levels of kite that doubles as ridiculous chase. And since I get near infinite sustain with wriggles it's hard to exchange with her. Plus her passive shines in lane when combined with Qs extra damage.

She gets wrecked I think. Kite is irrelevant when renekton has a double dash, Riven has 1000 units of movement that are unaffected by MS, and so on.

If there is a veigar, for one, start buying magic resist.

2, before you buy magic resist, buy a tenacity item(Probably merc treads, partially covering the MR and getting you the tenacity item).

Not to mention her passive makes exchange very rough on enemies. With my Q on and my Brutalizer I out damage most tops.




FD's thoughts on Kayle Top Lane:

I think the fact that she is rather weak for a melee champion work against her. Yeah she can turn herself briefly ranged and use that to farm waves, but that can work against her. Ideally the top lane is the most self sufficient lane. You want your player top to (1) ward for themselves and (2) not fall terribly behind against whoever they are laning against. The jungler doesn't wan't to have to devote a bunch of time to make sure that the top lane will break even because that takes away a lot of the pressure you can bring to bear on dragons in the early game.

And so you either farm as a melee champion, or you pop your E to farm which also gives Kayle splash. This means that you are pushing your lane whether you want to or not. Which means a champion that can straight up beat you (in capable hands) will begin to zone you or you will be far forward enough to be ganked yourself. Basically the nature of her farming works against the lane.

I think GP for example would absolutely command that lane. And Udyr should as well as long as he is maxing shield first. I'm actually not sure about renekton, but the point is that for Kayle to really win top in a high level of play she needs (1) to be able to spam nukes as her primary means of harassing and (2) be able to position herself so she can get her farming done in melee range.

Point (1) is so important. When I run Kayle support (which I actually really like, but it can be match up specifics. Kayle against high burst champs like talon and leblanc can be so huge) I run mana regen yellows AND mana regen blue. And even with all of that I can't simply spam all I want. So for top lane I'd probably and 1-2 mana regen quints as well. And then MAYBE you will be able to constantly apply pressure with Q. But even then a champion like Udyr in good hands will be able to use turtle stance to soak the damage and sustain himself.

It is also important to realize that in some cases you can't just live by the motto that "I'll be okay (or I'll win my lane) once I get wriggles or hit level X". Maybe the idea in this case is that with wriggles you can proceed with impunity, but that is the logic a lot of Tryndamere players use. "I'll just get wriggles ASAP, attack things constantly and use my crits to trade and then get back to healing and then once I'm 6 I'm unkillable". But to get to level 6 you have to make sure you don't get destroyed at level 1-3. Rumble for example can absolutely destroy Trynd at those earliest levels.

But with all of that considered there are probably some match ups where Kayle could shine. I think if you ARE running the necessary mana regen in your runes you can probably walk all over like a teemo top (which is rare, but happens) or any regular top laner with notoriously low sustain. You can probably also beat garen enough around level 3-7 enough that you might be able to shut them down.

But basically what it boils down to is that kayle will beat someone who can't adequately deal with a spammable nuke. There are other champions with spammable nukes that are also not skillshots. So it comes down to if you specifically need kayle on your team otherwise I don't see her being a "natural" top lane choice or anything along those lines.

Running out to dinner atm, can type more later =P

See I rush Wriggles because it really does give me near infinite sustain in lane.

With the new masteries, people like Pantheon/Malphite/Kayle have gotten a nice boost thanks to the 9 points in the utility tree.

Wriggles+Brutalizer usually makes exchanges with Kayle very tough. Your armor just means very little with the Passive, Q passive, and brutalizer, plus the heals from Wriggles and W.

The sole reason I find myself hard to fight is the speed up on W. It really works wonders early game. Plus, Kayle can use any boots and be quite good so itemizing for lane doesn't hurt me any.

But that doesn't explain how you will trade with GP/Udyr at level 3 or in some way shove him out.

Or how you will prevent yourself from being zoned if you use your E to farm.

Honestly his Q is his most potent thing and it sounds like you get all 3 abilities which means you are sacrificing something.

As for the pushing the lane thing, yes, her E does force me to pick my harassment spots and it does leave me over pushed on occasion but once again, thanks to my slow and speed up, Kayle is very hard to gank with a river ward.
