Really starting to get into this game. It's very competitive and fun. Experimenting with new characters freshens it up a bit, and no two games are alike.

Yeah I know, I meant more on it doesnt seem like the kind of item for a tank, even if you arent pure-tank. And yeah you do good as Teemo, Theo. Except all that sneaking does end you up a little underleveled ;P

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SmartAlec13 how is highly viable? Ide rather just go frozen mallet.[/quote] The point of the Trinity Force is not to slow people Alec. If you wanted to get slows on people then get a Rylai's Crystal Scepter, which is also a good item.

I tried out Teemo and played decently. I love to use sneaky/annoying characters who are also capable of causing a swift death to their opponents. I place shrooms EVERYWHERE. But I think I prefer Leblanc. I'm just better with her and she is just a beast. I am going to be saving for Lux and Caitlyn though.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SmartAlec13 Trinity force? Who are you, Phreak? And I wanna get him, Amumu, Alistar, and Shen. Starting to get back into Tanks, slowly but surely. I realize most of my characters are AP Casters and Tanks.[/quote] lol just cause I Trinity doesn't make me Phreak. Trinity is a highly viable item for tanks. and yeah tanks are boss.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SmartAlec13 Funny cause singed required mobility to play lol. But he goes where he pleases. TJ I tried Maokai since he is free. He is really fun. How do you build him?[/quote] Depends what it's for. For Dominion I give him Lucidity Boots, Rod of Ages, Will of the Ancients, Sunfire Cape, Frozen heart, and Abyssal Scepter. It changes depending on the situation, but basically this build gives you max cooldowns and maximum trolling. Don't even get me started about pairing with other champs. If you are with a Ryze or Cass, it's gg. You simply cannot be stopped when you have two guys packing WotA and messing everything up. If there's just too much AD on the other team, sometimes even the Frozen heart won't finish the job. That's where you Thornmail and that's also where the other team has absolutely no chance. [b]Items you can sub in:[/b] Trinity Force- Always great for tanks, who for the most part get decent AD stats. Atmas Impailer- This is still up in the air as Dom games never last long enough for full builds mostly. If you pair this with Trinity though, you'll be dropping fools left and right. Void Staff- This hurts especially well for your ultimate. The 40% magic pen really hurts. [b]Summoner's Rift:[/b] My build for that is different in ways. I do always go with RoA, Sunfire, Trinity, Abyssal Scepter. However I always update my build when I realize what's most optimal. Sometimes I get Sorcerer's boots and take Eleisa's Miracle, but I think the safest way to go is Mercury Treads instead and get a Frozen heart or whatever's. Depends on what you need honestly. Summoner's Rift build has to be way more versatile than Dominion, cause in Dominion kids are idiots and just throw AD at you all day. [b]Other good items:[/b] Force of Nature- You get mad magic resist, health regen and movement speed. Deathcap- Build fat defense and top it off with a cap. You can never go wrong with a cap. Void Staff- Once again that 40% magic pen really helps. Randuin's Omen- Lot's of armor, some health, health regen, some cooldowns, a passive and active that slow attack and movement speed of enemies. Oh yeah and some gold/10sec. Pretty good. There's another item I'm trying to work in as well. The Leviathan. If you can get the stacks for it no one can touch you. For runes I take magic pen marks, flat mana regen seals, magic resist per level glyphs, and health quintessences. For masteries in Summoner's Rift I go 0/21/9. The defense portion will change depending on if you are jungling or not. In Dominion I go 9/21/0 cause your mana regen is taken care of on the Crystal Scar and having the relic for 20% longer is not that big of a deal. and yes, I am pro with Maokai.

Funny cause singed required mobility to play lol. But he goes where he pleases. TJ I tried Maokai since he is free. He is really fun. How do you build him?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Quickstrike NC I mainly use Leblanc. She is a great quick-strike type of player. I can take out an opposing hero before they even know what is going on. But I'm interested in expanding my pallet. Any recommendations?[/quote] If you're trying to expand beyond caster, go AD. Xin is always fun for everyone cause he's a broken champ. Sion is great as well you just build him crits and attack speed. If you wanna go ranged AD it depends because there are really good ones, but they are not the easiest to be OP with. For Example Kog'Maw is ridiculous. He's top tier material, but can be destroyed easily if you don't play him right. Vayne and Caitlin are great choices as well. Of course you can't go wrong with tanks. My main is Maokai and he's so damn fun. You can never go wrong with Rammus cause he just rolls around trolling people with taunts and stuff. Amumu is fun as well and singed is just an invincible immovable object.

I am on a lot during the evening, usually on my main account though, so if you dont have me added, add me. Or skype me. Usually on around 3pm-11pm central

I'd still like to play some.

Let's pick a day this week and game some. I'd love to get some lol on.

Well this free-week champ rotation is good, so I reccomend people play. Its got a lot of really powerfull champs. Tanks: Alistar and Maokai. Maokai is a little more difficult, but both are good tanks. AP: Xerath and Brand, both have good damage (brand is better, but xerath has longer range). Ranged AD: Caitlyn and Graves, probably the 2 best ranged AD champs there are. AD Carrys?: Yi, Noct and Garen. Garen is a little more tanky, and Nocturne is a little more assasin. But these 3 are all great. Support: Zilean. Not the best support, but fun cause of the bombs. All in all a great freeweek.

I'm still interested in playing, it's just no one has been around to play. I'm sure we'll get things going again soon.

quadpost wut. Anyway. Most holiday-buzz is over, other than newyears coming up. Anyone feel like playing some LoL? Like ever? :P

Darn patch is being delayed to later this week. And it seems like everyone is busy with the holidays :P I hope you guys didnt give up on LoL

Played a ranked game today (I don't often play ranked) and I did really good with Soraka. Anyone interested in the sneak peek of the upcoming champion, Viktor?

Alright good. Now hopefully we can have a team of 5. We are usually on around 7-9pm Central. (8-10 EST, 5-7 PST)

I have a smurf account now if anyone's interested. TJKami. If you want to play with my lvl 30 account that's cool too. TJK Deity.

No McG :P I am just not shaving. Its reccomended since part of the affected area is going in to my beard. So not to disturb the stitches, I was told not to shave :P Anyway. Theo I hope you fix your lag problem.

Alec is growing a beard. Discuss

Come onnnnn Payn. 5 man team! No terrible randoms (like that -blam!- Ryze last night, 0-11). I dont know exactly, Theo. LeBlanc is the best nuke in the game. Depends if youre just thinking of a more/less aggresive mage, or if you wanna completly switch roles. I mean ideally after playing a while you should be good with at least one character from each role. Roles being: Tank, Support, AD-ranged, Bruiser/AD-melee, Mage. Obviously they arent completly needed, but an ideal, well made team has all of those qualities. One of them would jungle also, and one would be an assasin as well.

GARENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

I haven't been playing, I'm too busy playing H3.

I own LoL. You other people need to get on my level. :)
