If you destroy an inhibitor all your minions gain 100 health, as far as I’m aware this bonus is cumulative and goes away once the inhib in question respawns.

4042

Huh, I didn’t know that.

4043

So no thoughts on Corki? I’d like to play him more if he can be a little more effective.

4044

Corki was nerfed at the end of July. The patch notes don’t seem like a major change, but enough to make people stop playing him, apparently?

4045

I haven’t played Corki since the patch. He was pretty juiced before that - those ult missiles really mess people up, since you can lob them into teamfights at such a safe (long) distance away. And of course his gattling gun makes him a farming machine once he gets going.

This missiles combined with his escape skill (the one that lets him rocket away leaving a trail of death behind him) make him really hard to hunt down, even for a carry.

4046

You’d be surprised the amount of people that don’t. Hell, the only reason I know is thanks to ARAM.

How competitive is Vayne considered? She’s a ton of fun and feels very powerful, and I’m getting better at handling her skills, but she’s certainly both more satisfying and much harder than Tristana or Ashe.

Also, the guide I’ve been mostly following suggests Wit’s End (I think? Magic damage on hit, attack speed, magic resist, stacks magic resist when you hit people) for Vayne. Is that a good idea?

I’ve been building Doran’s Blade x2, boots, Zeal, +AS boots, Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Banshees Veil, Warmog’s, Atma’s. It seems reasonably sane, but I was considering turning the Zeal into a Trinity Force instead of a Phantom Dancer, which would give me a bit more HP, the Phage damage boost every time I use a skill, and a slow instead of a bit more crit, a bit more AS, and a bit more movement speed.

4048

I think Vayne is one of the best hard carries in the game right now, if you can play her.

I’ve honestly not played her much so I don’t know what items to build on her.

4049

The new champion sounds like it will require having good fingers :(

4050

Lee Sin sounded like that initially but didn’t end up working out that way.

4051

Considering i can’t play Lee Sin at all i would say it did.

4052

I don’t think I’ve ever had a queue longer than 20 seconds but this current one just went past six minutes. I’m level 27 so it’s not like I’m waiting for some high ELO dudes to free up or anything. Are LoL players mostly hardcore Republicans all watching the debate or what?

I wanna shoot something!

PS omg recommend a podcast
PPS so I logged out to see if it was my connection or something but now I’m in a 50 minute queue. So sadz.

4053

Riot’s servers are far from the most stable servers in the world.

4054

I tried to play a ranked game. It gave me some message about how my champions didn’t load, but because the game was messed up and it wasn’t my fault, I could quit without penalty. Then when I quit, I couldn’t play ranked again (the entire ranked game option was missing).

4055

Check the LoL site.

4056

I’d go with Cait. Vayne combines insane damage with extreme squishiness and short range. As well, in lane Cait can harass Vayne without taking any damage in return. But sure, if you avoid death and keep putting out deeps for a whole fight, Vayne’s unmatched.

4057

Tried Corki again on EU and after Caitlyn he feels weak. She’s just got better tools all round.

4058

I like Caitlyn for everything EXCEPT her jump backwards. I know how to use it, I know when I should use it, but my mouse is almost never on the right side of my character to use it properly, and half the times when I have an “Oh Shit!” moment, I don’t get my mouse to the correct side of my character (generally opposite of where my mouse is currently at).

It probably doesn’t help that I 100% smart cast everything for every character right now, and that I only play her occasionally, but that disconnect in movement makes me shy away from her.

So she might be strong, but she’s not as strong in my hands due to this. Which is sort of sad, because I really like her as a character/concept!

~C~

4059

Maybe try to not smartcast her net, as it will make you think what direction to go in.

4060

While we’re on the subject, who wants to give me some tips on playing against Cait in mid as Vayne? I am seriously the worst against her. If I try to be aggressive I get wrecked by her range and if I play defensively she’ll just keep pushing wave after wave to the tower, chipping away at it until it a splode. Should I be relying on ganks? We don’t always have a jungler in my games so I don’t seem to get help in mid that often. Is there a certain point where the tables turn and I have an advantage in 1v1?
