Cho'gath and Singed. Cho'gath's great at confirming kills and Singed is great because you turn on your poison trail and the enemy jungler kills themselves chasing you.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:I really liked playing sion the other night, who are a couple more good braindead tanks Probably the best low-cost and low-effort tank though is Amumu. You're very blue-dependent in the early game, but your clears are fast and healthy and you have one of those great initiation ults that sends a clear signal to go in that people generally feel comfortable following. On that note, it's generally better to initiate with your R and then followup with a Q that can't miss, even using Flash to set up the R if necessary. Gives you more total time on top of the target. Where I'm torn on both of these guys is when it's good to buy a stoneplate over stacking more passive health and defense. I mean it's obviously better to have stoneplate if you're consistently teamfighting, but it can be hard to tell in advance whether you'll get your money's worth. Anyone have any words on this? rabidsquid posted:the four post per page limit was too high pog boyfriend posted:what in the god drat hell happened to this thread. i leave yall alone for like, 10 hours, and this happens How Rude posted:Can we loving stop posting like this thread is fyad because it is not, holy poo poo.

Unless you're playing Cho'gath and getting a major benefit from rushing Stoneplate it's pretty much always a 3rd or 4th item to me. On most tanks right now you get way more out of a Warmog's than a Stoneplate.

Maokai is probably the most useful braindead tank. You have no responsibility except to press R-Flash on ADC and press W-(walk a bit)-Q

Where did you play him? You might like Ornn, Maokai or Malphite top. Of those I think Maokai is the most fun. For a tree he's very mobile, has strong initiation in his ultimate and w and takes forever to kill because his passive heals him on autos. In support Brain, Taric, Leona and Alistar are strong and very fun. Go I'd say Ali or Leo are closest to Sion's laning and team fight style.

Vlad dropped a good 1-2% depending on the lane, too. I understand why they didn't bother just turning Talisman and FQC into their own items in 8.2: they're trying to see how game-warping the items were in other lanes.

I think it's always going to be a chore to balance support builds by offering high utility low cost items. The solution is pretty obvious they gotta add a fourth lane called the caverns where you have to go underground to scrounge around for treasures and treats to bring to your solo lane friends on the surface.

20 years from now an interviewer will ask me why i enjoyed playing top lane so much before i became the supreme emperor and i will tell that interviewer because you get to gently caress up one guy so bad that when when the jungler comes you gently caress up the jungler and then the jungler stops coming and eventually the other guy also stops showing up to lane and just awkwardly walks around in the jungle while flaming you in all chat

you can experience shared team exp in league by playing aram and being on the losing team and immediately getting blasted by a team full of ults while you're all level 5

I don't think The Lost Vikings in HotS are that tricky, they feel less intense then some League assassins in my book. You are spending more time with them laning than (team)fights, you don't have to lasthit in HotS, you don't have a lot of abilities to juggle and you aren't punished heavily for one of them dying. If you want to take the micro to a new level and employ mind-games you take Illusion Master on Samuro (Samuro can create two weak clones of himself, with Illusion Master he gains full control of them). Speaking of different MOBAs, apparently Epic's Paragon just got its death sentence. Anyone played it? Did it have interesting mechanics? Or any abilities/kits that would be great to see in more popular MOBA? Edit: Ah, here is a playlist with character overviews. Gonna to watch that later on.

Mierenneuker posted:(Samuro can create two weak clones of himself, with Illusion Master he gains full control of them). That's so cool. Basically all I play DotA 2 for at this point is Meepo / Chen, always interested in more micro intensive characters! I think it's a holdover from SC 2. And yeah, you're probably right about the playstyle being easier. I just want more things like Shaco where there's lots of weird micro tricks to think about all the time.

So, how long until the regular playerbase catches on that the new relic shield is extremely stat efficient not even counting the fact it helps pay for itself and gives map vision later and realizes they should be building it on every tank in every role?

Yeah urgot rocks especially the new ultimate. Go full lethality against a squishy team. It may not be good but it's fun. Also the lifestyle off of physical damage thing is good. Not bloodthirster but the other one.

I don't understand how they came up with the stats they gave the new support items. Relic shield is: +10% cooldown reduction +500 health +200% base health regeneration 2200g value for 1900g Ancient coin is: +10% cooldown reduction +200 health +125% base health regeneration 1175g value for 1500g And the relic has a passive that benefits allies instead of just yourself and can waveclear well.

Coin builds into clickable speedboost for your team, maybe thats it? Also, why do i get laughed out of lane for starting relic shield+pot, is it THAT bad? I mean its not like dorans is the finger of god either.

It got nerfed because the shield was removed (which was why it was bought mostly) and the healing is now halved for ranged champions and now it just gives you a sightstone so it's basically worthless on a damage dealing champion
