How significant are the nerfs to Galio? Just about earned enough IP to pick him up and was going to do so tonight. I enjoyed playing with him over the free weekend but haven’t really used him enough to know if this is a significant crippling.

I thought he already had mana issues at least until getting say a chalice so this kind of makes it harder for him to farm and harass.

A half second on his ult doesn’t seem too bad.

Peace, check out this superby, watery guide to Tristana. It is the best I’ve read and provided to me by one of the regulars.

I think leirkov missed the point of pumping rocket jump. It’s not for harassment, it’s to increase your burst potential in combination with buster shot.

Calistas · 2010-10-19T21:10:59.000Z

Yeah, but it’s quite situational - I have more chance to drop the DOT on people than leap into fights - but that’s probably a play-style thing more than anything…

I believe you’re missing the point as well. It’s not for leaping into fights, it’s for saying, “Gee, I have that guy down to about half health. If I jump on, dot, and ult him, he will die”

I should note here that I’m usually pumping my w and e in the early game, and typically don’t bother with the attack speed buff until after 6.

Gotta love when people start calling you a fag because you killed 4 of them at the same time, i love Master Yi.

I’m sure this is old news to some of you, but I really wish I’d been around to see this a year ago.

Just played with some chinese people on chinese server, apparently it’s still in open beta so everything is free and unlock, used a lvl 30 account, not really used to it, whomever owns the account went full Armor pen, 56 armor pen but 0 mana regen.

Mid lane using MF vs Karthus, slow start, died fairly early on, and proceed to steamroll again with the 2x BT, even though karthus manage a 10/0/5 at 22 minute mark, I got the first kill on him which really speed thing up for me with the extra 1000 gold.

Play a game with earlier with bel, Ping suck, lag was bad, I had some issue where I couldn’t buy stuff, the game was going horrible until the end because we somehow manage to beat them…

Nono, I get that - I just don’t find many opportunities to fire off that combo compared to the early harassing power of E… but W and E together are also just fine I suppose.

Edit: Latec - sorry for being a bit rubbish! Still trying to get time-and-placement down pat…

To all the EU players, try not to buy the Lux Bundle’s with RP. Riot fucked up the EU Patch and nobody is getting what they purchase.

Cool. That’s pretty much the level up order I have settled on.

I’m confused, though. I thought last night when I started with a dorian’s blade I couldn’t afford a health potion. I may have simply blacked out when I looked at the consumables and then gone about my merry business (which was being terrified of Kog, as it turned out. The other thing that freaked me out about him? His ult is on a quick cool down).

They have changed to candy corn now, so your mind could have missed them if you just glossed over the shop.

What I would pay to melt that wave with Amumu…

FWIW, while his ult is on a quick cool down, if he doesn’t wait six seconds between shots its mana cost scales rapidly upward.

Every 3 vs 3 game im having lately is 1 or 2 people that get killed 3-4 times in a row (sometimes suiciding against turrets) at the start of the game and then quit leaving the rest of us to lose horribly :/

Hanacker · 2010-10-20T15:28:49.000Z

To me it seems like the game is rapidly approaching being overly bloated with items and champions. But then, DotA apparently had way more of each and did okay for itself. So maybe I’m wrong or it’s just a personal preference thing.

forgeforsaken · 2010-10-20T16:14:28.000Z

Man you see some weird ass builds in this game from time to time. I just saw a crit kog build with lots of crit and essentially no damage or AP.

maxle · 2010-10-20T17:35:47.000Z

Jim, re: your concerns about team comp, I have just one word: LEGENDARY!

:p

Chaplin · 2010-10-20T17:56:46.000Z

I just used the Warmog’s for the first time since the patch. It is a lot better IMO. I had over 4k hp really early.

peacedog · 2010-10-20T18:32:30.000Z

Well, that last win was fun but frustrating. I was clearly holding us back in mid; the only reason it dragged out so long is because I was behind there. And it wasn’t just the Kennen death.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2010-10-20T18:57:36.000Z

Haha, Lux’s Death Ray is hilarious and great. I love how if they’re still alive after you shoot them, people run around on fire for a while.

I also love going 20 and 6 with Jax. I even got a quadrakill at the end. It might’ve been a pentakill, but it was the middle of a teamfight and I couldn’t see a goddamn thing so someone else got a kill. That fight was still enough to make the entire other team suddenly surrender even though they had like six towers left, though.
