Decent build? lol no

why would he need a QSS, that team has no suppressions and even if it did, they would be wasted on a bruiser. mercs is enough

well decent doesnt have to mean that every item he built was ok, the majority of his build was perfectly fine

Does aynone play on PBE ? I NEVER play there and I got "rewards" (20% IP boost and 105 champions unlocked) and I don't know where they come from. Any explanation ?

You're supposed to get a set amount of IP and RP every week, about 10k of each (usually on Sundays). I guess they changed it? I haven't logged onto the pbe in months.

watched a friend play ranked after the reset, he was diamond in S2 and now he's 1-7 and down to 1,4k. oh boy.
yeahyeahyeahhh
It's his true belonging.

nah the ELO compression fucked everything up, it even made everyone play their placement matches over again(yep riot still hasn't realized 50 elo per win/loss is retarded, after 2 seasons.)

so ranked is gonna be pure coin flip for a while.
Vulf
Saintvicious lost 92 elo from one game lol. I'm not doing ranked till the jungle remake mostly cause i main jungle and the current one is so stagnant that I'd rather play support over it. Too lazy to fight people for mid and top at 1400 elo.

i love to build it in games where my carry knows what to do and is quite fed, and that extra AS is pretty cool
too bad it gets reworked though (AS will be replaced with something else), won't be as good on Irelia as it is right now :(

Not in the game store. People paid high ELO players to play on their account and raise their ELO. It was mostly done under the table and anyone caught would get their rewards removed and temp-banned, most people didn't get caught though. The majority of those who got caught were because the ELO booster did it while streaming so it was hella obvious for Riot.

You do realise, that support got one of the best things which could happen to them? The current support meta is just boring with 90% of the time them building hog, philo, 1st aura item, 2nd aura item and wards. Thats it.
The ward refresher item will come in very handy, the new promote item is also very viable in push strats, kage's last breath is also an amazing item because it is built out of mana manipulator letting your ad and yourself spam more spells and thus making botlane even more aggressive. Mikael's Crucible is the perfect item for a hypercarry who needs a babysitter and any support can make great plays happen now with using it wisely. Also, since the new utility mastery which gives you gold everytime you hit your enemy, ranged supports should finally have the upper hand again and we see more than the standard leona/zyra/blitz in botlane. I can't await these changes, botlane seems fun again!

IDD I didn't particularly read into all the new items that have been created, just mostly things that have been changed significantly that are going to affect me - I mean, i don't play support generally, but I play junglers and tops where sometimes gp5 items come in so very useful and the regen from philo and blah so I was just thinking about that

What do you all think about thew new champ, Zed and soon-to-be-released, Nami? (People are comparing Nami and Sona. Saying Nami a better supporter then Sona.)
o-o I wanna try Zed but I wanna hear opinions on him.

But he is a bit tricky to play at all. But if you get used to it it's really fun.

Nami, the new support is Fizz's mother (just guessing)

though, she doesn't look like a support by looking at her skillset.. more like an ap carry.

Almost all new "supports" became ap carrys, Lulu was ap carry though on the tournament so many teams had a Lulu as supporter, anyways. I didnt see the spotlight yet nor read the abilities so I can't say that much about it, also YES ZED is really funny, though I still need practise him more and more, and today I just bought Rengar, it is really funny for me too but beww SO NERFED, but stills doing something

Sona is also fine as AP Carry. Janna too. Soraka too. Karma too.

Taric and Leona are not bad junglers either. Most supports are able to do secondary roles.
TentacleOtaku
I mostly enjoy playing something so ridiculously odd that still works, it fucks over the meta quite hard.

Counter meta is the new meta <o/
GeeNX
@Stefan: Okay, I accept Karma and Janna. Sona.....well it can be a bit useful but nah. But soraka, soraka no. Okay, soraka has huge damage with Q and sustain with W and so much heal with R but....she has no escape man, she is the easiest thing to gank... is the paradise of junglers.

@Vulf: Yeah, Taric and Leona are really funny as junglers I agree with you, though I prefer leona as jungler<3

@TentecleOtaku: Odd, as for example going botlane on top? Or what did you mean?

Breaking the meta is fun. Meaning: you know what items their top & botlane will ALWAYS get since its always tank/pusher top & ad pusher + support bot.
If you can deny one lane the entire game, it breaks open the entire meta-failing discussion.

Like making the "seemingly" perfect teamcomp & then surprise them by putting your caitlyn solo top & your botlane blitz+alistar for example.
People arent used to two tanks bot & one pusher top, it messes with their heads & they start making way more mistakes than they should.

Or playing a rammus with flash & ghost, warding their jungle before the opponents jungler even gets in position.
Just random stuff that nobody expects to break the whole "you must play this char & buy these items always in ranked" kind of games :) - You have to try an odd build now & then, you never know what you come across - Like AD sona winning meleefights vs most ad rangeds :)
GeeNX
Yeah it is really funny though sometimes useless, but if you know how to do some stuff like that, Moscow Five is an example, they brought the ultimate counter jungling and solo bot and.... they rock being honest

That's all good until the enemy team also breaks the meta by sending something like AD nidalee top and runs double jungle against your rammus. I play mostly nothing but premade 5's i think I've seen just about everything after a year and a half.

Taric top is the perfect counter to physical dmg champs.

Nah it is not, and its worthless on late guy. Maybe he can win at first, but in most top's builds it fits brutalizer or LW so, taric is done

any tips how to secure kills with Twisted Fate? I have completely no clue how to do that.
in laning phase I most often end up giving it to my jungler/sb else, I just have no idea how to control that damage

last game our Maokai was legendary, he took like 3 kills from me early game and then didn't die even once the whole game .__.

TentacleOtaku
TF is.... kinda hard to describe.

Either you go full on on hit-TF, hoping you get enough auto attacks through to kill whoever comes at you, stunning them with your yellow cards.
Problem is: there are way better on-hit champions out there that can fill that spot better than TF does.

Or, you could go AP TF - making you cast all your spells in 2 seconds & then you're basically dead. Also: you will never be a hard AP nuker.

TF only works in one scenario in my eyes: when he gets ignored because "it's just tf". Kinda like ezreal: he needs his entire team to carry him & not die, feeding like a madman & then TF can work. The chances of that happening are close to 0 though... Unless you're going premade.

Here's a TF shot on one of my LoL accounts (got 2 lvl 30's & working on my 3rd. Why? dunno..)

(clickable for not stretching the board) http://i50.tinypic.com/x1mtmu.png

15/0/11 isn't bad for domi. But as I said, my entire team sulked up all the damage directed towards me, and eventually you come at a point where they can't kill you anymore because you're just over-itemed.

I choose not to play TF in summoners rift, he feels a bit broken.
The only situation i can immagine a nice TF in in SR is when you have a warding jungler so you can ulti in on someone who is doing parts of the jungle he thinks are safe... Other than that, for laning: theres plenty more autoattackers with a longer attackrange & hard cc than TF.
GeeNX
FIRST, IGNORE EZREAL? You really dont know how to play it, ezreal is the...... its so fucking godlike as AD carry, and deals tons of damage, AND TF AD, you really were talking about that? That sux oh man, twisted is god as AP, and... it is hard, I dont know how to play it well, but , his role is farm farm push push and at lv 6 gank all the time, if you dont gank with tf..... dont play it then, play other one...but tf as ap is like that
cokeshawty
Sigh. Yet again. Guy in solo queue is first pick and picks mid. Gets countered hard, loses his lane, loses us the game.

Why do your words come out of your ass?
Because they're shit

I dont see why your reply was so antagonistic.

TF as AP:

Pros: Stun on a short cooldown
Bonus to auto attacking helps laning phase
Long range skillshot that passes through minions without diminishing helps to harass and farm
One of the best ults in the game.
Good sustain + aided last hitting through blue card

Cons: Stun is unreliable, requiring preparation time which warns your enemy
While having good autoattack benefits and modifiers, the relatively short attack range and your inherent squishiness can prevent you staying in attack range for long
A lot of TF's AP scaling is in his auto attacks, which is subject to the afforementioned drawbacks
Similary to the previous point, his skillshot is only of a moderate speed and while high damage, isnt exactly nuke level
His ult can warn enemies before he teleports, with the few seconds of warning sometimes being enough for most people to reach safety

Overall verdict: A lot of his drawbacks are in balancing his need to be close to combat, and his squishiness keeping him from fully commiting to combat. If playing against inferior opponents his ult can catch people by surprise, his skillshot will hit most of the time, and people cant properly punish him when he goes into AA range. If against someone who can exploit his weaknesses, he can fall behind very easily, whereas other mid champions who dont have the indicators (stacked deck buff and card above your head) to show thier moves may not have such a bad time.

As far as AD is concerned, his has very little AD scaling but pick a card and stacked deck help with his damage, and give him diversified damage, compared to other AD champions deal primarily physical damage. I dont know for certain, but i would say that AP TF likely has similar damage output compared to AD tf, but allows him a little more security as with AP you can poke with wildcards and actually deal damage.

All in all, i find his weaknesses to be too much for me to overlook his strengths, but as others have said, in the right hands he can be godlike, though i think in part it depends on his teammates also.

Firstly, as far as your tribunal concern goes, I can tell you that I haven't been banned once, nor warned. So, no, I have never ever been in contact with the tribunal. Alone the fact that you're bringing it up seems ridiculous since it is such a flawed and stupid system, when people get banned left and right for aram/arab games because the community likes their +50ip or whatever they give out.

Secondly, I apologize for my poor choice of words, but you writing a little miny story there about Twisted Fate and reasoning it with fucking Dominion games is just leaving me in stitches, lol. I think it's your ignorance, as the fresh beginner I suppose you are, that you think you know how to actually play a champion.

I'm sorry, I won't.

And since I already came off as an arogant asshole, I should probably add my thoughts on TF.

He will be a pretty strong pick again in S3 because DFG is getting a huge buff again. Right now in his current state he is A-Tier midlaner since DFG got nerfed and heavy engage teamcomps are becoming more and more the thing to go so your splitpush or poke won't be as useful for your team as you might think. His laning phase is pretty easy, max q, push your wave, take the wraiths with a simple red card/wild cards combo and rush to your level 6 so you can start putting pressure on other lanes. Mana shouldn't be a problem either because of his blue card. Easiest ganks to pull off is by simply keeping an eye on your own jungler and turning that 2v1/3v2 into a 3v1/4v2 and securing easy kills.
For build I'd highly recommend the standard 1-2 Doran's, Deathcap and Lichbane and from there on situational. Though you can easily rush Athene's Unholy Grail if the enemy midlaner is some kind of heavy ap nuker.
R>Q>W>E, 21/0/9 or 9/0/21 masteries.
Twisted Fate is easily one of the strongest solo queue champs since he can easily push the advantage you have onto your team by his lvl 6 ganks.
cokeshawty
Yeah, he is indeed a solo queue wrecker if played well.

Oh, and nice sig btw ^.^

I liked her, she's interesting. I see her more as a carry than a support though. She's quite pleasant to play, honestly. Her Q has insane crowd control but has a delay before hitting, which makes it avoidable. The bouncing W is a good idea, it forces the player to take risks to maximize the effect. Her E is pretty much useless though.
Oh, her ult is sexy.
Cyrith_old
Im excited to see how her chain heal will work out. Support is arguably my favourite role, with ap mid being my second favourite, so a champion that can do both is nice. That being said, shes likely going to be a stronger carry than support, as from what im seeing, support choices are more tanky with good cc, over the typical squishy mage healer support (not to say that it isnt viable, just im often asked to take say, leona or alistar over sona/janna/soraka). Though since I havent actually played her yet ill withhold judgement and just be silently content that there is finally a new support being released.

Yes, as you said, now tther more..viable supp no, the more used, and I think, more worthful ones atm are tanky ones like nunu leona alistar taric, soraka janna lulu are good too,though that tanky stat on low mid elo decide so much in the game

Ah okay, could you explain why you'd take a squishy support over a tanky one? Really curious >:D
Cyrith_old
well tanky supports rely on cc and being in the middle of the action, preferring damage prevention through cc, and requiring tanking damage with low items due to 0cs, which is walking a fine line between life and death. squishy supports tend to focus more on restoration, and help smooth out a carries mistakes, rather than allow your carry to molopolise on thiers, which helps when playing with lower skilled players and solo queue. also squishy supports tend to have more poke, and i quite like the whole poking minigame in lane, stops me from dying from boredom. that and, as i previously said, force of habit from sona being my main for around 3 months back at her release. :p

Ah, okay, pretty cool :] I just like tanky CC champs because they allow you to play agressively. Nothing is cooler than fast paced fights on bot lane!

I like sona's insane poke on her passive. You hit thier support with it every time, forcing them to waste mana on themselves, or keep it for thier carry. Then level 6 happens and if they didnt leave (hint: they dont) free kill and gold for your carry. Push thier carry back to the turret, stealth recall in the bush, rinse, and repeat. Very funny strategy with an ashe laning with you. Double stuns :D.

Yeah okay, that's real fun yeah, true x3
But I can't really imagine a Sona + random ADc winning from a Leona + random ADc..
I haven't played bot lane in ages though.. I should do it again (with your Sona tactics)!
Cyrith_old
EDIT: Sona vs leona with random adcs. If the randoms are bad, leona will be throwing herself into the range of sona and the adc, with her own adc not being able to react to the oppertunity fast enough, and sona will win. if the adc is good, the slightest mistake can be exploted by both leona and more importantly, the adc, leading to leona's win. I would also say sona will out-trade leona every time due to the superior passive (leona relies on her team-mates to trigger it), and better poke. As i mentioned in a previous post: supports like sona help fix a bad adc's mistakes, and supports like leona help setup harass and kills for a good adc (with a bad adc missing the created oppertunities most of the time).

True, Leona's zenith blade is exceptionally harsh, but limited in a few ways: firstly it passes through and damages minions, so if you put low hp minions between yourself and her, she wont jump otherwise she will end up stealing cs, at the very least, it will discourage her. Secondly her full damage potential is very mana heavy, and bursting a full shield bash + eclipse + zenith when she would potentially miss isnt always the best choice, which means she is limited heavily in terms of sustainability, forcing her to only cc and be able to kind of sustain, at the cost of likely not securing kills, or going all out, and burning herself out. Thirdly, a last-ditch method so to speak, is to allow yourself to be pushed near to the turret bu not last hitting so thier minions push forward, then keeping the minions at around x | x instead of x | x where x's are the towers, so your tower doesnt deal, and to last hit they have to over-extend, it also means if leona jumps, she'll likely be in tower range, and will lose the exchange.

On a slightly related note, ever seen a leona kill-lane? its rather effective if you feel you can snowball early game and put so much pressure onto every lane that not having a support and adc doesnt even matter.

On a slightly unrelated note: I once took sona because my team didnt realise that i was going to take support sona despite saying i was for 60 seconds in the champ select (normal mode). AP mid sona -> this happened. They went from calling me a noob and /all report noob sona, to 'omg this sona is pro'. I quite rightly told them to f*ck off :).

Also, if you want some fun, try this evelynn build in dominion. boots1 + ruby crystal + amp tome -> haunting guize -> pen boots -> blackfire torch -> rylais -> abyssal then if the game lasts further you can go situational like lichbane, wooglets (no rabas in domi :( ), etc etc. max r>q>w>e. just kite people with hatespike, with blackfire torch ticking 1.7% of thier max hp per second and around 260 base damage on hatespike. If you get low ult them for epic shield. exhaust and ghost are the best summoner spells for this. Though using heal can be funny when you ult them and heal and reverse an entire fight.

whats all this support discussion about. i suck at support, all i know is janna XD

mid is totally where its at

I do like mid. Ive just always played a supporting role, when i used to play wow, i was only ever a healer, i sometimes tanked and dps'ed, and i could do it, but i liked healing the most. My favourite ap mid is ahri, though i used to play anivia around 2 years back, im tempted to pick her up again. Cait is my favourite adc, her range helps her farm in safety and harass with almost no fear of retalliation, and her ult is great at picking people off, not to mention her net being great at both escaping and positioning. Irelia is probably my favourite solo top with her great sustain. Jungle however... im ashamed to say i cant jungle at all. I just cant get the feel of it right. I feel like i should learn how to do it, but i dont want to drag people down in games while im learning. I could make a new account for it, but jungling with no runes and masteries = little sustain and survability so you have little margin for ganks.

New topic (maybe xD) : help this scrub (me) with jungling with tips for noobs, and tricks you learned with those sudden realisations which made everything better.

as for my roles ill play

top: riven, irelia, jayce, FIORA, and similar champions
ADC: i can only play sivir and ezreal
jungle: nocturn
support: janna
mid: any champion in the game i could lane mid with (yes all 100+ of them)

as for jungle help, my worst roles are jugler/support. My neighbor plays in the jungle as his main role and he's pretty sick so if u have any specific questions you want to ask i'll run them by him :D
