I’m sad they’re nerfing auras so we don’t have them radiating from our cold, pathetic corpses anymore, and it looks like jungling will be a bit more difficult as well. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a dealbreaker or not for certain champions… we’ll have to wait and see. I usually help out at golem or lizard if I’m mid anyway, so junglers may just need to be proactive asking for help dpsing those down early if their teammates aren’t paying attention.
We wern’t playing a bad team but the tank option did feel a bit over powered. Sunfires was a bit of fun but did mean we could go round in a clump - very funny :)
The fortify proved useful when things didn’t go to plan :)

Had a fun ranked game last night, luckily we got finished before my net died.

Wait, what? Are there new patch notes somewhere? How is jungling going to be harder?
I fell in love with Vlad this week, think im going to buy it.

I love Vlad, and I love playing against Vlad’s who think their W is an attack.

It can be in the right circumstances. It gets really awesome with Rylai’s.
In level 30 ranked play, Vlads who initiate with their pool die often and repeatedly.

I’m sure it can be, but it’s usually not a good idea to init with it unless you’re finishing someone off. I like to use my other skills, then pool while they cool down, then combo again to finish. That combo surprises a lot of people 1v1 when his health looks low.
Just had a great game. A couple of teammates were feeding a lot at the beginning, and we lost an inhib; it looked like the game was pretty much over. A surrender vote popped up, and people were pretty much conceding in chat. Then, we won some teamfights at our base, got baron, and started racking up the kills and turning things around. I was Morgana and I got enough AP to nuke their carries down super fast, and for some reason Ryze kept trying to ambush me and raging when he died.
Good times, I love the surprising win. And being a wrecking ball.

Hrm. Two solo games in a row with Morde and I kinda understand why I bitch about him so frequently. The end-game Invinci-Kaiser build is just sorta ridiculous. Granted, this was a level 12-19 type of game, but I was literally being the one guy on the team (for once) that everyone took their cues from, and it was so tough to die. Immediately I got “thornmail is imba” from all the attack carries that decided to focus me, but of course they made no mention of Randuin’s active that I was using.
I guess the point is, no matter what kinda damage Morde is doing, you just cannot focus fire a soaking Morde. It takes way too much time and they’re likely to fail if 3 or more people can be hit with his abilities to keep that shield up. Hell, I came out of “let’s pile-on Morde!” battles where I was sure I was going to be dead any second and still had 50% health at the end, and 2-3 more kills.
I think I’ll do it again. Somehow we pulled it off even though our Ashe fed 16 times, complaining about how squishy she is. Ahh I remember those days before you guys started schooling me. The enemy was level 18 when most everyone else was still at 15 or so, my team wanted to surrender but I said no, we can take them if we just defend the towers we had left and used the creeps to level up and gain gold. I knew we could do it since the enemy team was just on that line of being able to push into base, but by that time I taught some players on my team not to run out alone or push without 5 of us.

Woops, sorry, missed this. I’ve read two things. One is a HP buff to creeps but it’s unclear whether it’s just TT or both maps, and the other is an XP nerf across the board for jungling so it’s not as viable as laning for leveling.

I have always wanted to try that. What’s the item you have 4 of? And is that a Zhonyas (sp?) in the top left slot?

Downloaded this a week ago and I’ve been hopelessly addicted since. How are you guys grouping for games? Teamspeak, friends list in game? I’d love to get in on a group, I’m losing like 8 outta 10 games playing solo!

Euros idle in their mumble, norteamericanos use steam.

Doesn’t look like the game is on Steam… Do they just idle in the (empty) Qt3 chat?
Actually I see references to buying it on Steam but for the life of me I can’t find it in the Steam store!

No, we message each other on steam whenever we want to get a game going.
