The kind of logic that bugs were found so they delayed the patch for 1 or 2 days? I guess they could have delayed it another 1 or 2 weeks.

You serious? Lee Sin is strong and I think Copet is making a good decision in picking him as his third favored champ. I think he should learn his jungle though as he makes a great offtank/DPS jungle pick.

It also means he won’t demand solo top AP Gragas as often.

Yes i agree he should play Lee Sin more.

Sorry man – I’ve been on vacation all week, didn’t know you were looking for me. I’ll be back tomorrow night, I’ll try to join up with you and get you in some games with my friends.

The shop is definitely a big hurdle to overcome, although they revamped it to be much better recently.

Are queues still down?

I’m looking at a 2hr 54 minute queue here. Gonna cook some dinner and come back later see how it is.

Careful, that’s a bug! Make sure you always requeue at least once when that happens

If Leona isn’t in the game I don’t see a reason for the big rush.

Also, mx and I had some trouble versus a tanky AP game last night.

Morde had Warmogs+Hextech
Amumu had Deathcap+Abyssal
Maokai had some Hextech+Spirit Visage build that actually kicked some ass

I forget what the other two were but it was a pretty strong lineup and I couldn’t carry Brand through it because of all the stuns and health and resists…

I’m so scared. I came back to my computer and it is a 3 hour 54 minute queue. Riot scrambles my mind.

AP Amumu is very very good, but I would get a Rylai’s. 100 AP is great on Amumu. Anything more is too much.

Obviously that Amumu would disagree with you. I remember now… Deathcap, Abyssal Scepter, and Will of the Ancients.

I could carry alone as Brand. Our other carry was kind of useless, and our Soraka kept DCing and eventually quit at about level 12, so we were screwed. Otherwise it actually would have been a close game with us probably winning, but being pushed to our inhibs I had no chance to farm up a void staff to clinch any kills.

So yea…

Well they did say they were worried about stability issues with this patch.

You’re amused that people think +700hps and a 40% slow are useful things to have on a tank?

The only tank I have experience with is Jungle Amumu, so from his perspective, yea.

Why must you tempt me in this fashion, pup?

Man, now I want to get Leona and use both Frozen Mallet and Rylai’s on her for ultimate slowing power.

I’m not sure the patch fixes Yorick correctly.

He needs some AP ratios if they’re going to insist on two of his abilities doing magic damage.

Unlike other tanky DPS characters, he doesn’t really have anything to protect himself against getting killed. The passive suggests he should go health+AD, maybe Atmas+Mallet or something, but he’s still going to have mana problems while laning.

They probably should give AD champs an itemization path for Catalyst. BV is great on everyone that has mana, but there should be some sort of AD-specific upgrade that can provide a ā€œrod of agesā€ solution for AD champs.

Not sure about Deathcap nerf. Large Rod is still such a boring upgrade path right now. You click on Blasting Wand and you have a whole shitload of items to build into… while Large Rod is just sort of uninteresting. There should never be a ā€œmust haveā€ item for a whole broad range of champions. Some AD champs don’t have to build crit, or they can build crit, or you might want the pure AD from a Bloodthirster instead of the crit of the Infinity Edge. AP just always wants a Deathcap and that’s boring.

Funnily enough I find AP’s to have a much broader range of potential items and are much more fun to build each game.

Whereas on AD you are stuck with the boring, 2xDorans+Boots, IE + Zerkers, PD, BV, LW… Because it just works.

Well my point was that Amumu is hard cap AP oriented. At 100 AP his Despair (aoe cry) does an additional + 1% aoe. Someone told me that +2% only happens at like 400+ AP, although they may have been lying. My point was that when I play mumu I like Boots 3, Sunfire, Abyssal Scepter, Rylais in some order. Gives you just enough AP and MR reduction to be a total bastard. And with a good bandage toss it isn’t like anyone is running out of combat.

The other thing that is ridiculous is if you can get another initiator to start your team fights Mundo, Jarv etc. Wait for their team to converge then Ult. 400+ damage mumu ults should guarantee Prom King status in my book.
