mal best mid in those 5 people.

4162

Who was their mid?

And Shen could’ve always tower hugged until he out leveled them.

4163

Also, I used to think idrisz was too stupid/lazy to use proper grammar. Now I realize that he types exactly the same way he talks.

hey, I resent the stupid/lazy remark, can we settle for “unique” instead?

4164

Their mid was Urgot. Kassidin was solo bottom. Warwick was jungle, and Nasus was solo top. Our Shen didn’t know how to jungle. I guess the problem was we had a 3v1 lane and a 2v1 lane. I really should have gone mid but I didn’t know what was happening until it was too late.

A good mal may be the best mid but that’s not what we had. Trist, Lux, and Mal are all solid choices though.

It’s a rare event but I occasionally do fulfil my role of carry :)

And their Malphite bought a Force of Nature when your team had 3 AD carries.

4167

Hey don’t ruin my moment :)

4168

So I tried to play a ranked game just now, and I had to tank as Malphite. Whenever I ulti’d in atleast 3 of the enemy team would flash out and then my team would get facerolled.

Why haven’t Riot removed it yet…

They’re contradicting their own principles.

They nerfed Cleanse because it was a ‘Get out of jail free’ card. On that basis, Flash shouldn’t be in the game, and the designers have admitted that it’s on probation. Except it should be gone.

Same as Caitlyn. One of their principles is that a character shouldn’t be frustrating to play. Caitlyn’s ult is the definition of frustrating because it’s almost impossible to get a decent one off and it’s far too powerful to save as a snipe on escaping enemies. I mean, you can, but it does 250/400/550 + 2*BonusAD. That’s a lot of damage you can’t use effectively after the ganking phase is over.

I personally think her ult should pierce, with damage shared between the target and the blocker. Same principles, even more incentive to fire it, and Caitlyn still achieves her aim.

Just played with a Renekton on our team whose first two items were Leviathan and Sword of the Occult…and hew owned!

4173

The best Renekton I’ve seen so far was just ok through the midgame and then irrelevant lategame. Of course he seems to be a pretty rare sighting already.

4174

I’m going to guess their team was very very bad. Renekton isn’t very good, and buying two stacking items to start leaves you extremely under powered.

4175

I disagree with the Renekton assessment. He has one skill they need to address, but I’m finding him fairly decent actually.

4176

I feel that Renekton doesn’t bring anything unique to the table. Just another melee dps that is similar to many others… They’re all champs that can crank out good damage and catch people off guard if played well but I don’t see him getting much playtime as-is in tournament play.

4177

The AD attackers had two bloodrazors though, which do magic damage per hit. Not sure how much that matters.

Is the Tear part of a normal build for Malph, that seems like an odd choice.

Also is the Euro server behind or is that an old game, I spot a Zhonya’s ring on Vlad.

4178

A tear isn’t a terrible choice for many mana users. You can build up a good 500-1000 mana during the early and midgame and have staying power in a lane due to being able to cast more spells after refilling your mana after a death or recall. You can also sell the tear and you keep the mana you gained from it.

I probably wouldn’t use it on any mana user that has long cooldowns. It kind of depends on having a champ that almost regularly uses at least one short cooldown ability (like Kayle’s heal or Blitz’s knockup punch), while also using other somewhat short abilities regularly (again, Kayle’s slowing orb or fury attack).

One way to pump that tear up is to cast everything you can when at the fountain, and cast some more on the way back to your lane.

Level 3 Bravery?

I agree, he has a very similar kit to so many of the recent melee DPS. I think this is why I largely don’t play melee DPS anymore, they are all kind of same ish and boring.

4180

I’m sort of annoyed with Xin. He’s the type of champion that I have fun playing, but got some (necessary, I suppose) nerfs and now the skill required to use him just doesn’t pay off the way it should.
