Board 8 > League of Legends Topic 24 - "Never underestimate the power of the Scout's code"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Stronger, maybe.

But with Soraka as she is, you have two carries bottom. Sona and Taric function mostly the same. Other supports like Janna haven't changed at all. Leona still has stiff competition with the nerfs.

Leona's competition was stupid-broken heals.

Heals, no matter which support you are/are against, are now a lot less effective.

Oh also which lane should I try to have with Veigar? I didn't think it mattered but you guys always talk like certain heroes go better in certain lanes for some reason so thought I'd ask!

Alright then, fine. I messed up.

I still don't feel bad about leaving that game. Another guy complained when I chose Leona (I didn't mention that part), saying she sucks.

Well...

Leona (barring my recent purchase of OPianna who I adore with all my stuff) is the only champion I paid full price for, so I have a ton of faith in her abilities. I still acknowledge that her spot in the metagame is to be Amumu when Amumu is banned because Amumu is stupid good. She doesn't suck, she's just not OP.

I just despise amumu, and he's the only character I'd autoban on the basis of not wanting to face him (I also don't want to face Orianna, but she is actually broken good instead of just being great). It only takes a very small misstep for him to chew your team up through his buddies, and he's DREADFULLY boring to play. His design is just horrible, who thought condensing the power of four abilities into one was a good idea?

An empty lane. Veigar autoloses practically any lane and needs to be left alone to farm. Failing that, mid.

Amumu is probably my least favorite champion next to Ryze.

His design is balls.

His abilities are boring.

His voice annoys me.

His joke isn't even a joke. (Vayne and Poppy's non-jokes are better jokes)

Everything about him sucks.

And yet he's god tier.

I hate that.

Pfft, that's nothing. Try 1 hr+ queues before the EU server split.

On an unrelated note, played a game where the solo top Garen destroyed the Kat + Talon on our team, as solo Garen is wanton to do against people who aren't very good. The very next game, our solo top Garen sucks horribly. Go figure.

"Eet's game time..."

Luis, that stuff is always the worst.

Happens to me every time a new champ comes out!


As for lanes, it doesn't matter ALL that much until you hit a higher tier of play (probably after level 25 or so). At a certain point, playing to as much efficiency as you can decides games. At low levels, being dumb and over/underestimating champions and a differing scale of item knowledge decides games.

Ermine I plan on picking up Twitch as my main carry because I'm addicted to Under Powered and Under Played champions.

How do you play his early game? Do you go +5 speed boots and try and get early ganks? Do you play it safe and farm like any other AD carry?

Also, what build do you go with?

Make sure you get your farm. Twitch still scales very well into lategame, and is still capable of decimating entire teams under the right circumstances.

I really should play Ranged Carries more. I've gotten very good at last hitting and can usually lead the laning phase in farm regardless of who I play(it helps that I primarly play Solo Tops and Solo Mids!)

My biggest problem is positioning. I find one target and just unload. My positioning as ranged carries blows.

IE is first big item always.

If I'm bot with support then beserkers.

If I'm mid then it's either beserkers or MOB depending on what's happening. If I'm winning my lane and or needing to run around a lot to help other lanes, I sometimes get MOB. It's usually 50/50, it's kinda just what I feel like running.

If I'm roaming it's almost always MOB.

After IE I usually get BC or BT and then the other after. I wanna try PD a few times though instead of BC and see how that works for me.

The correct term is wont. Yes. It is homophonic with "want" in a lot of places.

Wanton is "excessive".

Also, I usually get 3 doran's. Twitch has a "Twitch taunt" which makes everyone and anyone attack him when he's on the screen. Having the extra HP is a really nice thing to have when you are a squishy little rat that is hated by everyone.

Nidalee was discounted around the time Miss Fortune and Karthas were, if memory serves.

It wasn't that recent, but it was at least a month ago.

Frankly, I wouldn't drop dosh on a 3150. Just factoring your First Win bonus, it's two weeks max of playtime.

Only reason I ever decided to spend money on this game was the sheer volume of 6300 champions.

How important are runes for Jungle Lee Sin? Can he function without them?

I've been told that the only champion who can jungle without runes is Warwick.

Lee Sin seems pretty flexible when it comes to runes, though.

Nunu and Wick can jungle. Lee really shouldn't try.

pretty much everyone you'd normally jungle with 'can' do it without runes. it's just more efficient and safer with them. in a pub game it shouldn't really matter much

I would say try a jungler. In terms of fun, Lee Sin is right up there imo. Nocturne is the only jungler who I find super fun (well Trundle I find fun for weird reasons but you could also go for him). Lee Sin is just fun to dick around with anyways. You could also try Cho'gath since he's a decent jungler and is all-around fun to play in lanes too. I love solo top Cho.
