Grats on breaking 1250!

/1175 ELO

5662

Eh I’ve been fluctuating between 1200 and 1250ish since the reset. I think I hit 1270ish once and then went on a losing streak. If you look at my match history/stats you’ll see I mostly avoid ranged carries and ap mids because I’m awful with them.

But thanks!

5663

Jesus, Blue, how did that roflstomp last 40 minutes?

5664

Because it was actually close early. They actually took the first two towers. At one point that Swain had only like 20 more CS than me.

For the longest time Swain was kind of failing mid, and Ashe and I were holding out bot as best as we could against Sona/Yi. Once we grouped and started grabbing dragons the other teams CS advantage went away.

I’m liking Urgot for Dominion:

I selected the game with my most typical item build for maximum cooldowns. It’s not much maximum damage, but it’s almost enough damage to go toe to toe with a bruiser if your ult is up. Ideally I would want a Brutalizer to get through more armor, or a Last Whisper, but as a bot-lane pusher I haven’t seen anyone else push as fast as Urgot due to the infinite mana you get from Dominion+Tear. After the Ionian boots it’s pretty much non-stop pushing, but unfortunately you’re not a killing machine until getting some damage item.

I’ve so far pushed back Morgana, Heimer, and Kog-maw, all of them competent. I haven’t gone up against a Maokai or a Yorick yet, though. Yorick would probably be most annoying but his ghosts wouldn’t stop the E>Q homing combo so that you can keep clearing creeps.

Kitae’s is interesting. Do you think enough people stack health? Rylai’s seems common but nobody builds many other health items IME.

Also the lowered % compared to madred’s means Wits End is that much more attractive considering it’s 2k vs 2.7k.

EDIT: Doing maths, wit’s end does the same magic damage to someone with 1680 or less HP. With 2.5k health, Kitae’s does 62 per-hit. You also get the 30 physical damage instead of 50 MR. Maybe it’s not such a bad idea.

5667

You haven’t seen all the atmogs that goes on in end game dominion?

5668

is manamune worth it in short dominion games?

5669

Only for ultra short cooldown spammers

5670

And also considering you can spam it in the nexus before the game starts and boost your mana by a lot.

5671

40 mana isn’t that much…

Unique: Each time your champion uses an ability they gain 4 maximum mana. This effect can’t occur more than twice every 6 seconds. Bonus caps at 1000 mana.

Ezreal is awesome in dominion. still won’t touch him/her for summoner’s rift but he is indeed excellent for dominion. though only AD, AP get good after you get deathcap and lichbane, you suck in first 15 minutes of the game.

5672

More like 80, but since when it’s 6 seconds? i must have missed some patch note that changed it.

5673

you thinking of manamune, tear is always on 6 second cd, manamune is on 3 seconds for auto attack and ability.

5674

Man I love Morgana. Four straight wins now, and Chequers shouting “flash, flash!” netted me a triple-kill with ult, pool, and a Q blind at a fleeing Gragas. Very fun. Mid land was tough vs a capable Vayne, but the threat of Ramus ganks kept her cautious and the lane swung in my favor once I got catalyst. I only landed one stun on her, but since it was one at the end of her q (predicted it, hah!) I felt quite chuffed. Hehe. 9/0/8

5675

No. I bought one on Yorick and got like 10 AD for my trouble by the end of the match.

5676

Ez/Taric is an awesome bottom lane in SR, also Ezrael is a dude. That voice acting is not ambiguous.

Random question, do you guys think Leona looks like a Valkyrie?

5677

But you didn’t run out of mana?

Some people seem to think you never run out of mana during Dominion because of the increased regen rate, but that’s horse shit if you’re a ranged harasser with short cooldowns. Ezreal, Yorick, and Urgot will all run out of mana.

You don’t have to buy a Manamune, but a ToG is ridiculous amounts of mana regen at the start of the game, and if you’re damage is mostly ability-based then I see no problem with it. I’m doing better with bot pushing as Urgot with ToG than with anything else, because I’d run out of mana otherwise. It really doesn’t take long to turn into a BF sword in Dominion either.

5678

Ez/taric might be awesome in lane, but EZ plain just sucks in SR team fight compare to any other good AD carries.

Some people seem to think you never run out of mana during Dominion because of the increased regen rate, but that’s horse shit if you’re a ranged harasser with short cooldowns. Ezreal, Yorick, and Urgot will all run out of mana.

For Ezreal, running 21/0/9, no mana regen rune, the only time you run out of mana is the very first fight(usually at end of that fight). then you go back and buy sheen and solve that issue immediately.

5679

I’ve run out of mana more times than that on Ez with the same setup, but OK.

5680

I try not to use W and E that much in the beginning since E cost 3x as much as Q and W cost 2x as much as a Q at lvl 1.
