So the go-to mastery is Thunderlords right now. Is it worth going so deep into the cunning tree for it?
Yes it's worth it, at the moment the Ferocity tree keystones are so weakRenevant wrote:

I use ARAM if I just wanna play around - it's super casual.- M o s h i - wrote:
Thanks to the snowball ARAM isn't complete garbage imo, still the worst mode by far.
So, no different than on Summoner's Rift? xDHika wrote:

Fair enough. I've personally seen more morons in Summoner's Rift than Howling Abyss but there's always gonna be some around, either way.Hika wrote:
I'm fine with rift actually.
I was fine with it this ranked season, although I gave up half way through it :p
Nicest season I've played. And I've been playing a little too long.
I'll stick to what I originally said about the snowball - I want it gone - even though there's zero chance of that happening now that everyone's in love with the thing. I play basically all melee and I still think the snowball's dumb.Nofool wrote:
Summoner's Rift is hella boring imo, trying funny things usually means getting rekt unless the other team really is bad. Mainly playing it for rank or serious games (ive been playing for more than 4 years im not just a 500 wins guy qqing his team sucks lol).
I find ARAMs much more fun, snowball basically allows all melee char to be played with chances of winning. I mean ARAM without snowball was just poke char's kingdom, still enjoyable but made no senses. It also requires a better focus since you are like always teamfighting while you gonna spend most of your time farming/traveling in a rift game zzzzzzz
Well i assume you guys are at least playing games with 4 firends before judging a mode õ_o ? (also wtf last season was one of the worst i think lol..)
You gotta plan your unorthodox strats before running em, I've had fun with JG-Brand, Lux-Top, Lux-AP Btm, CDR-Utility Lux Mid in the past week.Nofool wrote:

You just described what I don't like about ARAM.Blue Dragon wrote:
I don't get how can anyone dislike ARAM
it's a complete for-fun mode where you can just play anyone and not give a fuck about winning or losing, it's not like it's a competitive mode
it only becomes slightly frustrating when your team consists of 5 melees and enemy team is Katarina / Veigar / Ezreal / Nidalee / Sivir
Either go play with a group of friends that won't flame you for trying something different or use a custom match to figure out what you want to tryNofool wrote:

You are lucky enough to not play against the op chars then => change after each update tho. Well acually it doesn't matter that much if you are not playing at least diamond levelgames maybe idk. (well your picks are nothing really crazy tho lol)Sand_Penguin wrote:

Can't just play anything expecting it to work magically.

Take it easy, it's at the +20 wins/52%WR range, that's pretty much silver.EneT wrote:
Must be the meta in Philippines. This is why mineski was such a joke of a team. The fact that 5 people built shiv in that team at patch 5.24 is already something to make heads tilt. Shiv is utter shit.
and no one even changed to the over-powered blue trinkets, let alone a red trinket...

What's the build / runes for that? I'd like to try it out in BR low eloEneT wrote:

He's been my main since season 3 and I just haven't had any good games since his rework. It makes me pretty sad. =(EneT wrote:
Yeah, I play GP quite a lot.
For runes I go AD marks, Health per level seals, MR glyphs and AD quints. This can change depending on the lane match-up but for the most part I just go that.
Masteries I mostly go 12/0/18:
This is just to help you out in lane since laning phase is the only part of the game a GP should have trouble with. Grasp of the undying is the strongest keystone in-lane; it won't scale with GP but GP doesn't really need any scaling at all... Thunderlords won't benefit him and Deathfire Touch is too lategame to even be viable; all the other keystones are shit.
Don't bother CSing with your Q early game; there's no point and it's a really slow way of farming up for your ult upgrades, especially since the nerf where you don't get your mana back from killing things with your Q. Instead harass with your Q whenever grasp of the undying is up. Once you have trinity force and a BF sword, barrel Q should be able to clear minion waves, so that's the point where you start farming for your ult upgrades.
Build path: Start with corrupting potion (try to harass as much as possible with Q while you're drinking the potion) > If you have enough money for a sheen then buy a sheen, if not, buy components of phage > complete trinity force > BF sword > CDR boots > either turn that BF sword into an Infinity edge or an Essence Reaver (Either way, you're getting both IE and Essence Reaver but the order you buy them depends on the situation) > everything after this point is situational; I never buy any defensive items on GP unless it's Mercurial and majority of the time I seem to find myself buying a phantom dancer just for the extra crit. Lord Dominik's regard is also good since you shouldn't really be buying health on GP anyways, so the multiplier onto your damage is really nice.
Never. NEVER... buy stattik shiv. On ANYONE. It's shit, except for maybe Yasuo.
LOL, I'm a nerd and memorize skills/spells/items by name.EneT wrote:
In teamfights, GP isn't the kind of top laner that rushes in melee. He plays a lot like a mid laner, dealing massive damage with his barrels; once you get someone low, that's when you go in, so you don't need defensive items at all. His Biscuits also act like QSS so it's quite easy to stay alive with him. For the upgrades, I never really bother remembering their names... I go for the true damage one first, then the one that increases the number waves then finally the one that increases movespeed.
GP is a lot more skill-oriented since his re-work. He depends a lot on landing those barrels. It gets quite easy once you get used to him.
