Mundo Shaco Nidalee are the three scariest TT heroes IMO.
Then all the really good gankers or people that need to be focused down
Then anyone with a single target stun
Then healers
I'm not sure where Annie would fit - no AoE means she doesn't do as muchdamage overall, but she's crazy good early game and gets lots of stuns fast.

Also, wards on Twisted Treeline are so unbelievably necessary.

I like shen a lot on treeline. I've been winning a bunch by building straight into Frozen Mallet. Also, having 2 smites on your team is surprisingly good for just immediately securing buffs.

Shen's ult is brutal on TT with the lack of damage output

Anyways, gonna go back to 5v5 from tomorrow unless I need a quick game, I don't like the different hero restrictions >_o

I've been trying TT today, playing my first 4 games as Annie and the other 3 as Teemo. I went 7-0.

It really pays off to get health items on Annie (rush RoA, get Rylai after boots), and the map control Teemo establishes with his shrooms is godlike!

Okay, okay, no the worst feeling in the world is when someone snipes Baron.

Especially when it's a Morgana and she snipes it with the puddle XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Never had it happen to me though, Extichi stole it once with the puddle and it turned the game around, funniest shit ever.

The worst is when the opponent has warded baron, and you do it early. Just as you're about to finish it, with your entire team at ~20% HP, Fiddle crowstorms in and throws out a bouncing bird, killing baron and all five of you.

I've never seen it/done it. I'd like to some day, though.

Eh, closest I came was one game where two of my teammates got ganked and died, they immediately went to Baron, except I had it warded.

So I went in there as Twitch when they were almost done and Spray and Pray'd as our Jax leapt in, we failed to get Baron but we killed their whole team in about 3 seconds, and I'm not even exaggerating the time on that :D

Level 30! Finally, dodge talent and hp quints fuck year.

Totally loving TT btw, best thing riot has ever done for this game. juking, map awareness and better mechanical skills are so much more important on this map. It's so nice when every game isn't 4 healers + sivir or LOLWEHAVE5000AOEDMG.

TT feels like a whole new game. This is a good thing, and I appreciate it, but I think a healthy mix of the two is what I'll be doing.

Oh, so two friends and I fired up our 2nd game on TT and went TF, Tristana, and Poppy, we get to the load screen and the other team is Soraka, Alistar, and Anivia and we all just start cracking up over skype. Kinda funny how much a map changes the way you look at heroes :p. We all went Wit's End -> Malady -> stupid items of choice and completely roflstomped them, it was good times.

brand spankin' new to LoL. It's hilarious. Like if EM went and started shooting up pure candycane juice.

Is it just me or is Udyr imba? I haven't really played any other heroes (except Ashe, whom I fed with), but I'm 7-1 with Udyr with an average score of 14-2-3. The game I lost I got 21 kills, but we lost cuz I never pushed-- I figured creeps could finish things off (like they do in Dota).

I went on the forums and Udyr has a rep for being difficult, which I don't understand. You farm for a while in lane, then you go hide in some bushes, ambush from behind with bear, pop pheonix and the next thing you know someone's dead. Then you use tiger on towers. ez pz. I'm sure turtle has it's uses if you're in a really tough lane but I haven't had a reason to put points in it early.

Anywayz. LoL's more fun than I thought it'd be. It's the mariokart of dota-style games, ha.

Jax is pretty damn op on TT. Just played a game with imbored on zilean and kyzer on kayle. We were down a few deaths and 2 towers going into mid game when jax could just explode and turn the game around, especially with that support crew.

Never ever play on TT with random people, stick with TL. Holy shit, Me and bears had the most retarded jax ever. 3 deaths in the first 5 mins. -_-

Your list is missing Sion, because he's basically mundo with a stun ;D.

at lvls 1-15 all heroes are imba.
i'm sure you can go 50-0 as soraka if you really wanted to.
i used to run AD eve when i first started and got 20+ kills per game.

Yep, 3-man required :x Even if you do go in with 3 ppl you know you tend to have to set up a proper team, too.

My current TT team of choice is Shen, Poppy and Ashe/Teemo. Ranged dude farms bot, Shen and Poppy go top and jungle asap (I take smite on Shen, rally's on Poppy, blow both to rapestroy the buff creep ASAP). You can usually finish the buff creep before the other team kills off too much of your first creep wave. When you finish buff creep, you should both be level 2, one with a buff and both at almost full health from vorpal blade and rally.

If they have a jumping hero, go to dragon spawn and kill him (because he's always so clever and wants to jump over the wall at you). Heroic Charge, vorpal blade, devastating blow, taunt is insta-death on Kass/Shaco when they're level 1 and you're 2 level 2s with a buff :p. Then you just run around back and try to get the other guy on the lane if he doesn't b in time, but if he does, just keep him off of the creeps to deny exp and gold until his friend gets back.

If they have 2 guys visible on the lane, you just weight your options... if you think you can take them, run around back while they farm your creeps and jump em, if not, just take your little exp/gold advantage and play some standard laning and abuse vorpal blade to stay immune to harass. When it's 1 top and 2 bot, just lol and rapestroy the solo top from behind and then push your lane all the way to the tower, before ravaging their jungle for a considerable advantage.

I'm sure this'll change as the metagame advances, but it's currently how I like playing the map.

O_o I usually find a level 1 fight taking place at the Lizard buff, never have played a game on TT where I got to kill Liz buff in peace.

I was talking about the top buffs (Wolf/Wraith buffs). I dunno, maybe it's the lower ELO coming into play here, but we don't fall into Lizard Buff fights until like level 3/4, and we just win those cause of double smite + skype being ridiculous for assuring that your team gets the buff :p. When Valentinne and I get a quick kill top off of a lesser buff first though, we can usually take Lizard buff in relative peace.
