Yeah, the Ryze thing isn’t really a stun. Still, good CC.

Who jungles in that team? I guess at our level it’s not as important but I don’t know how great Udyr and Amumu are at laning. Maybe like Brand mid, Kat top, Ryze/Udyr bot with jungle mummy?

Random thought, who would be in “Team Bouncy”? I’ve got Brand, Ryze, Fiddle, Katarina, Malzahar, Yi (?). Am I missing anyone?

Sivir?

Yeah yesterday I went from “unranked” with no Elo displaying, to 1237 after a game in which I got +44 Elo on victory.

I’m not sure if they don’t let you see your Elo if its under 1200 now, or if you have to hit a threshold of games before you can see it (I believe this was my 10th ranked game of preseason). I know I could see my Elo last week, but since they re enabled ranked I hadn’t seen it.

welcome back to 1200+ elo blue.

Sivir and MF, though MFs only bounces once. Malz is a stretch though with the way his works.

Harkonis · 2011-09-22T11:22:52.000Z

I like Malz’s bounce the best, it’s final.

If you pick Udyr, you’re kinda stuck with Amumu as tank and one of them is better off jungling (probably Amumu with Udyr top). Then if you want ranged AD, you’re stuck with Ashe. But then you don’t really have a support. Maybe you could skip ranged AD and do Sona/Wukong bottom or something. And then Swain/Ryze/Leblanc mid.

Or ignore Udyr and go with something like McKnight’s.

maxle · 2011-09-22T11:35:11.000Z

Or you could just have Udyr tank. Built properly, he’s incredibly hard to kill.

Crap initation, though. Run at the enemy and punch them, whee.

idrisz · 2011-09-22T11:38:05.000Z

where are you mxle, season 2 started and you are no where to be found.

Or Udyr can tank. :)

I started around close 1300+ actually.

good wins, 2 orianna wins + 1 kayle win.

And i started at 1270± (was 1190 when season ended), you get +50 elo the first 10-15 games i think.

His initiation sucks, though. He’s more of an off-tank unless the rest of your team has great initiation.

It’s 10 games. I can see my ELO, and it is sadly under 1200.

I need help with WW. I used to get good results with him, but lately nothing.

My biggest difficulty with him is in lane against ranged. I’ve watched videos (such as Chaox’s marathon video for WW) and they seem to conveniently have opponents who stupidly get into WW’s life steal swipe (Hungering Strike) range.

My opponents don’t seem to do that, and I can’t figure out how to prevent them from just peppering me from afar. Other than his ult (which is obviously of limited use in lane, given the cooldown), he has nothing to close with. His Hungering Strike range is fairly limited (not as bad, say, as Rammus’s taunt, but still pretty low).

So I end up in situations, for example, where I’m trying to hold center for a few minutes against Casseiopia, and she just dominates. Basically just spits shit on me from afar, and moves back (while continuing to spit shit on me) when I try to close. I can generate some of it back from Hungering Strike on minions, but not that much.

Oh hey, I was checking my email account associated with LoL and noticed I had an email letting me know they refunded me IP for purchasing Annie. I bought her just before she went on sale apparently (somewhere with 2 weeks anyhow) so they are giving me 900 IP back. That’s pretty cool.

idrisz · 2011-09-22T12:04:45.000Z

WW is only good in lane vs other tanky dps like Irelia, vs long range harasser such as cait or casseiopedia there really isn’t much you can do other than buy MR/armor and buy pots.

Seriously.

Just tried Dominion. Didn’t really like it.

Anti-Bunny · 2011-09-22T12:36:24.000Z

They are doing Dominion again for about another hour.

I’m waiting for bunny and therluna to leave again.

idrisz · 2011-09-22T13:28:01.000Z

they are never on LOL, they are playing some shitty ww2 shooter or something, usually just me and some other people on, I should go hang out with chaplain again. Always have people available to do some LoL.
