I'm happy with page 2, last time round I think I skipped 500 pages. Now I can shitpost from the ground floor. Will this thread also be full of winsome goon pics?

I saw my first streamed game last night (element vs origin) and now I really want poppy. 450 ip for what looks like a pretty fun champ - I even had fun being killed by her when I rocket jumped tristana straight into her zone thing. I just cracked up laughing as the jump just abruptly stopped right at the crest.

First page crashes my phone every time unfortunately

Urgot is legitimately good though.

I got Monday off work and I'm thinkin I'm gonna spend it getting re-acquainted with the crab man. He's so underplayed at my level I think no-one really knows his deal and I'm gonna hit lvl 2 and shove crab claws down their throat until they leave the lane.

Is he still more or less the same as he was at release? As in you hit em with the gas and then all the claws are homing?

You don't want to copy blue build Ez -- the sheen and lifesteal items are pretty suboptimal. The best items would likely be some combination of

Manamune, Black Cleaver, Ghostblade, Maw, IBG/FH, Death's Dance, Sterak's Gage, and swifties/tabis/mercs.

Yeah I looked up a couple of guides and that's more or less the run of it. With so much armour shred in the age of juggernaut, I'm surprised to not see him more often. Guessing it's cos of that kinda weird ult?

Someone asked earlier about shen support: The new sword mechanic stuff takes a bit of getting used to, particularly in regards to his new W. Stopping the adcs autos on your adc can obviously be a big game changer but you kinda have to try set up the position of the sword ahead of time.

Other stuff: I found myself running out of energy more than usual, so think before you Q as his other 2 standard abilities will probably be of more use.

Taunt has a long cool down so it's probably worth maxing first. He still has the same problem of finding CDR without wasting stats

I mean shen
How do I build him tho? Like old Shen with sunfire?

I watched a youtube fella starting dorans blade, built titanic hydra first, then sunfire followed by a maw and he was wrecking it. I got bored soon after but I imagine after those you would get DMP and whatever.

Guessing you'd take grasp for keystone.

I wish his sword actually did at least a small portion of damage when it passes through people, I keep finding myself positioning it so that I hit multiple champs. Looks cool but achieves nothing. Also it should make a totally cool sound when it hits people

I played the weirdest game of League I've ever played last night. As Morgana support I had a kill at 1 minute and then I had 6 kills and zero deaths at 6 minutes. Ended 13/3/9 at 23 minutes. I'm still not even sure what happened.

Dunno how you play your morg support there buster but the standard is to make it clear to your ADC within 2 minutes that you will be carrying this lane

Got in, queued up, everyone complaining about lag, our top J4 dc's pretty quick, 3 of their team mysteriously never shows their face again.

Push all the way to base to get this over with and see the enemy trundle smack a creep and then just disappears.

I would be so stoked to end up with a support on my team who finishes the game with the most damage and maybe ends up with a sight stone

Sometimes necessary - our ADC decided to go thresh, so our support took Annie and decided to carry the lane 11/1.

Whole time Thresh was complaining about Annie stealing all the kills but you didn't see anyone else complaining...

Seems there's a lot of people who can fiora here - how do you lane against her, specifically with poppy? I've just started top more often and found her a hard matchup. Anyone worth their salt just ripostes my Q and then goes to town on me. If I manage to get some damage in she seems to have enough sustain to regain it pretty easily.

How the hell do I play a tank? I'm used to waiting in the back for somebody else to initiate, unless my team is RIGHT THERE and I have an opportunity to hit like three or four people with the Sona ult. I generally understand how Braum and Naut work in laning (be a pest, try to harass the enemy, make sure I have targon stacks when the cannon minion comes, swear at my ADC for not letting me execute the cannon minion), but what am I supposed to be doing in teamfights? Hanging out on the front lines, soaking up damage, until I have an opportunity to hook or ult somebody important?

More or less. Don't take damage unnecessarily though, just cos you're a tank doesn't mean you should go shoving your face into every skillshot headed your way.

The hard part of tanking is that everyone will (should, at least) follow your lead for getting into a scrap, which will end 1 of 3 ways:

- you get off all your CC well, maybe a couple of times. You limp away from the fight with your ADC a bit more fed.

- you die, but your team does pretty well out of the deal.

- the most common: no-one follows and you die alone.

It's a thankless job, just stick with Sona

I'm a drat noob and will be buying qss more often

I reckon too many leave it until their last item, at which point the enemy toplaner has already turned into an unstoppable monster due to being fed on a squishy adc who can't break CC. Then they lose a team fight and whoops there goes the nexus

Poppy is also 450 IP, fun, and can fit 3 roles.

Also Trundle isn't too much IIRC, biting people and braining them with a club is also a fun thing to do

I feel you tho, grinding IP sucks especially when you first hit 30

That makes me curious - how much have you spent on LoL, goons? I've only dropped £20 on this account. I had another years ago, I don't think Oceania server existed then so I have no idea where the account is or if it even exists anymore but I think I spent around 100 on that one. I miss pink Taric and matador alistar badly

Don't live there anymore, I'm on an EUW account now that I made years ago shortly after moving here. Stopped for a couple of years, when I went to recover my current account a few months ago it was the only one showing up tied to my email.

E: I dunno maybe I should email support about it and move it to OCE for the rare occasions I'm home but :effort:

Is league still popular. I haven't played in like 6 or 7 months now and I'm starting to feel an itch again

Hello brother, I just got the itch after a 10 month break myself. Last night I jumped on. Took me 2 mins to find a game on EUW, so not bad.

I went for a chilled out Morg support to get me back into the flow. Before minions, our jungle graves reveals he forgot smite, quits the game. Everybody spends the rest of the game yelling at each other, I feel warm and fuzzy inside. An unopposed rengar wrecks my poo poo. Classic stuff.

Also the jungle is all weird. Every time I come back they've hosed with the jungle, I always find it very intimidating so I usually leave it a couple of months before I brave it in a bot game.

Oh yeah hi again everyone, game still poo poo, etc etc
