RealFoxy: May 11, 2011; I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Oh my god I just got matched against a Caitlyn who had 6 kills at 15 minutes and was doing 600 damage auto attacks it was so brutal. Suddenly realizing why she's played competitively all of a sudden, when did she get so strong

Buffs to Traps, buffs to Headshot.

If you go full on AD and rush a Hurrican (now even better because it builds out of Zeal) you can demolish anyone you get in a trap and/or friendly CC.

The trolls in league are way worse than the trolls in cs because in cs you can carry a team yourself but if you have one person loving you over in league it can be devastating.

I love Taric and I can't wait to play him, though I suspect he'll either be banned or first picked.

cs is also nice because you can lose an important gun round at any point before round 29 and not instantly lose the game

Since I told exethan about this one I had to share it with the thread:

16 death Abyssal Rush into Death's Dance Corki Mid from my ranked battle today.

My matches where I pick Braum are completely cursed, I'm totally convinced. I know I'm a man of stats and not superstition, but when I lock in Braum all bets are off, it magnetically draws in the weirdest trolls/failures.

So I finally got enough keys to open two chests:

Mecha Zero Sion and Spirit Guard Udyr.

Except they both require so much essence that I'll need another 10 chests with disposable skin shards to afford them.

Or I guess I could feed one to the other.

Feed Udyr to Sion. The skin is amazing. I wish I could refund Spirit Guard but Mecha Sion is the best legendary skin they've done

I saw Mecha Sion today and it was seriously loving sweet. Those global machine noises were the only thing keeping my cheerful while watching the feeding Corki.

If you put early points in traps they have a tiny, negligible cooldown and can cover a good area. If you step on one Caitlyn gets to shoot you for approximately a million damage and maybe it can also crit? The tooltips explained it poorly or I'm dumb but you hit for absurd chunks when they step on the stupid cupcakes.

Also I can't wait for them to push those awful new (sub)class names on the casters.

I love mecha Sion's ult animation. I love it so drat much. Give him BC, FM, speed boots and the furor enchant. Your passive combines with them to get double/tripple kills in teamfights even if you're killed because no one can escape him

The most useless thought exercise imaginable: What does an ideal complete Urgot item build look like?

I've been loving around with a few things and I don't actually know which specific items give him the most power. Obviously you want CDR, Armor Pen, some mix of tankiness for his ultimate. I just can't decide what to stick with.

I've built Manamune, Iceborn, LW, Ghostblade, Maw, Black Cleaver, Death's Dance, Sterak's Gage, and QSS/Mercurial. I think the ideal combination is in some pool of those items. But I don't know what it is. Even looking on CGG or PB there's not really a specific rhyme or reason that most people follow, and it depends on where people play him as well.

Urgot is pretty decent right now. I think you want Manamune, Cleaver, one of Frozen Heart/IBG, and Maw pretty much always. This leaves one item and you're CDR capped. Mercurial/BT/LW/Death's Dance/another armor or MR item/GA all seem good situationally.

The problem is the items that he likes have shittons of CDR so you have ten billion of it wasting away. But I'd do Manamune, Cleaver, Iceborn, DD, LW, Mercs if full damage. Maybe visage and ionians instead of cleaver if more beef/MR is needed. Really the 'core' I'd build around is manamune, iceborn and DD.

I miss ancient Urgot where I'd take him mid and make my lane absolutely miserable and then turn into an unkillable initiating piece of poo poo past 30 minutes. Pros just had to ruin it by playing him as ADC instead of Hilarious Mage Masher.

Less to be an ADC and more just to take a large, chunky, winding poo poo on two people instead of one.

Cleaver is completely core because of how it interacts with his E. It's one of the easiest ways to fully stack the Cleaver passive in the game.

Also, props for them getting the Japanese actor that did Goku for Wukong.
