one would think that after ~1600 games (assuming he has a 50% win record which from your story i highly doubt) that he would have learned basic not-feeding skills and learn to back the fuck up when you're alone and enemy heroes are mia.

At level 1, this is 8 mana per last-hit. With the builds being discussed, you're regenerating almost that much *every second*.

That said, rupture's range is excellent, and unlike the other characters who are eligible for this, Cho is a tank, which is a huge plus (I think rupture has the longest range of any tank's skill). I'm not sure who the best champ to pair him with is. Janna? Heimer? Sivir? Anivia? Which of the other very-long-range champs would get the most use from innervating locket? Or do you go dual soul-shroud?

As long as you're running a silly double-MM lane, might as well run another cheesy build in the other lane. How about a Shaco with all crit-damage runes, open with longsword/jitb, kill lizard when it spawns, take deceive at level 2, then deceive for auto crit (+100%) + crit damage runes(+50.61%) + + shaco's passive(+25%) + masteries (+10%) on his base damage of 50 + 20 from longsword + 3 from masteries times 1.05 from masteries = 218.92 damage (plus lizard buff -- not sure what that adds). Gotta run ignite as a summoner spell, of course (maybe exhaust too?). The longsword even builds into madred's for him. Not sure who best pairs with that, nor who you'd want for solo mid on this team.

I just find that with my passive regen and my runes/masteries, taking a regen pendant and only rupturing once per wave when I can hit one that will kill 2+ minions or a champ and all 3 caster waves (maybe 2 champions), I can rupture once each wave. I find that for Cho flat regen in the blue is better, but right now I'm running about half and half flat mana regen and cooldown per level because the passive regen is really all I need (on SR). I try to get solo mid, though, and that really makes it easy on me.

If I were in a lane, I'd probably take a sapphire crystal and a health pot because like you said, the regen wouldn't let me spam it anyway and the sapphire crystal builds into catalyst, which is important in a cho build when you're laning on the sides. Middle you don't have to because you start to stack out feast way earlier and you don't need the mana recovery because you'll be grabbing golem with feast really early, plus your passive lets you rupture kill the wraiths in 2 hits for exp/hp/mp regen.

As a side note, I do that with shaco anyway without the crit runes (armor pen!) and run exhaust/ignite. Usually I open boots because the lizard lets you kill as long as you can catch. Sometimes it gets me the double first blood though haha.

Usually I try to hit mid with it because it basically wins the game :D.

so I just played a solo queue going AP Ezreal and our team was
me
Morgana
Shen
Soraka
Ashe

It was hilarious... team babysit Ashe ftw :p. like, the battle would start up, they'd try to focus ashe, black shield, they try to just attack, essense flux + soraka shit, things get too hairy, here comes shen ult, lmao. I think Ashe ended with double the kills of the rest of the team combined :p.

What would be good lane partner for katarina? My friend is playing katarina, but i still dont have any clue what champion to play (pretty new to the game, lvl 13 atm).
No need for too high level stuff, just what champions might work (soraka for heals? morgana for snare?)

Morgana but for Black Shield, not the snare. Katarinas Ult is great but can be interrupted. BS prevents that.

I wouldn't worry too much -- play a champ you're comfortable with, and you should be ok. If I were to specifically recommend someone, it would be someone with good range and perhaps some CC, two things where Kat is lacking. Ashe's frost arrow/volley, as just one example, would give Kat a nice slow enemy to shunpo on to and start bringing the pain. Mundo's cleaver, Cho's rupture, Morgana's snare...you're not starved for choices.

You need boots even with exhaust?

well... yea... I mean, Jax is already a huge pain in the ass to kill. When he has a bunch of people babysitting him, he could go off and grab a cup of coffee at the start of a teamfight and come back just in time to hear the "Penta Kill!" announcement.

rofl, I guess that's what happens when you only play 1 character, but shit, with was many games as he has, you'd think that he'd at least have a basic understanding of how other characters work.

It is time for...

Jax Ezreal Soraka Shen Zilean

O lawd.

Edit:
On that note, considering the deadly viciousness of such a team, I'm surprised I haven't seen more of them. I'm finding it brutally tough killing Soraka-supported teams of late >_o

I don't think it's a "silly" strategy by any means. I've been steamrolled by it like 3-4 times and I barely managed to fight one back duo-queue with Turkey when we were Twitch and Sivir (some 10-20 pages back when I was like OMGWTFBBQ). It's a legit, good strategy (harkens back to the days of Kayle Twitch) that has incredible pushing power, great map control (by inserting Shen) and a filthy late-game. Obviously you could tweak the heroes more (I believe when I was playing against it, Shen wasn't out yet so it was Taric instead of Shen, and Nidalee instead of Ezreal), but yeah.

Maybe the problem is that there aren't really that many "good" Jax players, and it's tough finding enough players that can play a semi-support role.

well, I guess silly's the wrong word... unconventional maybe?

My point being that I like unusual team compositions that look to work outside of the simple, Tank initiates and disables and then everyone blows their burst damage load team fight strategy.

EDIT: and oh, I don't really know what constitutes a "good" Jax... like, what does he have to do? it seems outside of last hitting well early to keep your build on track and having a decent build, there's not a whole lot to think about with him... *shrugs* I dunno, I've just never felt like anything outside of build has made me think that my team's Jax is "good" or "bad"

solo mid.

if not then someone with stun or heal/shield. blitz is always a fun laning partner and alistar never gets old. i'd imagine janna and ez are good too. with kat early game hyper aggression will win the day. so whatever helps that, whether it is another hero that can harass aggressively or a hero that can support you in your aggression. get an edge early and you can totally shut down your opponents.

oh and IMO soraka is better laning with someone who has mana.

One of the biggest problems I have with Jax, and really most tanking heroes as a whole (which is why I struggle with Malphite vs Ashe, unless the Ashe is giving chase - I have trouble initiating against a retreating Ashe), is that I tend to go ahead of my team. Particularly in the case of Jax, I have a habit of leaping into combat, beating my team to the punch. With a babysit team this isn't as big of a deal, but when playing in a normal 5v5 I tend to be focus'd down really fast.

Leaving that aside, build (you'd be surprised how many people build him badly), farming speed (many people are sloooooooooow in this game), understanding of when you can kill what (mostly Jax experience), target selection, and stun timing really factors into the skill level of a Jax.

It's especially visible if you play, for instance, a Twitch against Jax. Good Jaxes will absolutely not let you go. Bad Jaxes will leap into combat and not have it in time to leap to you.
