so looking at my account i apparently have ashe, veigar, yi and tristana unlocked

i usually play ashe/vei so im guessing i dont really need to learn yi

i tried jungle warwick once and on one hand i died like three times trying to get blue early but on the other hand i somehow managed to catch up to the rest of my team so i suppose he's got some pros and cons

man i remember ages ago playing blitzcrank and just having so much fun rocketgrabbing people, maybe i should save up for him

Kog Maw is pretty balanced, imo. Also is Hybrid TF any good?

I've been maining as Ashe for like the entire of last week. She's fun because her slows and the passive from her E.

three things seperate good ashe from bad ashe imo

1) use of ult in different scenarios (saving teammates, securing kills, escaping)
2) use of active e as much as possible without wasting it
3) use of q kiting for getting the fuck out of dodge when warwick jumps out of a bush and waddles towards you like a giant hairy shaved gorilla ready to ram his banana-slamma up your tender frosty janus

MShinigaki · 11th May 2012

I think a lvl 2 E from WW can get past a lvl 1 Q from Ashe.

Also, turn your Q off when you're not attacking a champion. Such a waste of mana.

Have 1550 RP, Not sure weather to wait till 14th to see what new skins come on sale, or pick up Varus double pack (the only other AD ranged carry i like is ashe, and im not sure how Varus plays.)

The mana cost scales super hard the more times he uses it, so he can't spam it more than a few times even with blue. And it's an artillery spell, it's going to have a big AoE. Kind of its deal :P

We won in the end and I can see I was just butthurt.

Still think it needs more cooldown though.

hell yeah, don't forget that you don't need to use it for the same goal everytime. you can initiate, use it for damage, or even save it for a while in order to turn the tide of a fight. also, try to practice hitting targets at long range

3) use of q kiting for getting the fuck out of dodge when warwick jumps out of a bush and waddles towards you like a giant hairy shaved gorilla ready to ram his banana-slamma up your tender frosty janus

yes, while kiting isn't that tricky, I see that a lot of people don't even try to do it the correct way

there is nothing that makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than firing an ult from bottom lane corner to mid and stunning the enemy ganker long enough for our squishy ap carry to get behind the tower

also it's pretty hilarious when the enemy runs away into the bushes and i just stun him on his extremely predictable escape path and pop him in the face for the kill

seriously ashe ult has so much potential

That is some creative language you got there.

And that one moment when you aim your arrow perfectly and the enemy takes one step forward, missing them. I guess this is the con of Ashe besides that she is squishy as hell.

3 teammates leave the game before the 10 min mark gg wp.

And then when the enemy win incomes the torrent of 'lol easy noobs XD'.

No shit you were playing against 2 people.

I fucking hate this. Same thing when its a really fun and close game and you barely lose, telling the other team "gg guys :)" and they just say "lol noooobss".
Makes me rage everytime

I do but it feels like reporting is just pissing in the ocean. Riot must get thousands of reports on a daily basis.

i once lost a very balanced games where we both had our bases destroyed but they got the final push

'easy' 'gg easy'

FUCKING
RAGE

writing easy in all chat after winning should be sentenced with death

Windows Update just reset my PC in the middle of a game that lasted 67 minutes. I rejoined, Level 12. Everyone else is 18, carved my way back to the top before we simply couldn't hold out against that many super minions. Solid game, even with Windows interference.

I do it, my friend types EASY i type GET OUT

Then we chuckle merrily at the rage directed our way, we're cunts of people though.

Scarra keeps missing kills by a few hp, kills that he would have gotten if he didn't put one point in annie E, lol. Then a bit later a commentator talks about how he likes how scarra put a point in e. Too funny.

**katbug** · 11th May 2012

<3 playing karma, she is too good

shield does 90 damage plus an almost 1:1 conversion rate in an AOE and still does a shield for that same ammt.

Me and my friend do a Leona + Volibear double bottom tank duo, it's hilariously good.

I love varus but I keep getting shit supports who
1. take my farm
2. are too agressive and feed
and
3. blame me because I should get kills and protect them

I've only had one good game where I got this soraka that was the best thing ever. I never died because she healed the shit out of everything in sight.

I'd offer to pair with you, but I'm too tired to support well.
