people really don't understand katarina. i refuse to initiate (lol "KAT JUMP IN NOW" so you can get insta-gibbed by 5 heroes!) but shunpo in after the fight starts. i kill kog immediately and start chasing away sona from the fight. at that point it's essentially 4 of my team vs 3 of theirs (kog dead, sona and me playing tag). i kill sona, clean up the fight (4 total deaths on their side but end up dying to vlad at the end for an ace on our team) they somehow lose and yell at me for not being in the middle of the fight ulting for 15 seconds to deal imba damage. i'm play a god damn anti-carry, i did my job as an anti-carry, i get yelled at for being an anti-carry. 0-6 udyr and 1-5 mordekaiser yell at me when i was 7-2 and we end up having a blowout loss. mazinga called me noob despite me having +50 cs on his solo ashe.

=/ this game makes me sad sometimes.

Thing is with kat you need to wait for a good time for your ultimate. To your teammates this time will always be "too late".

this issue is not an isolated incident for this game, u will find a shit tonnes of people like that in any online games...

But between his passive and ulti, here we have yet another champ with craploads of built-in lanestaying power. Seriously, what is this?



They changed his E to give a % more damage to his auto attack. It is not very powerful, I have been leveling LazerBurd first.


That's queer as fuck, his E was literally the only reason I was looking forward to eventually buying/playing him(fuck ya witch doctor+maledict!). If it doesn't work like maledict anymore I'm out, I'M OUT BITCHES.

Yeah its lame, especially since he is an AP champ and it buffs his physical. GG riot way to make a good champ.

Oh my god. Why have I never played a carry?

Yesterday I started playing Tristana. Before this I've had a very good Blitz which is great and all but it is really hard to "decide" games with it. I mean, I have done the difference so many times with clutch grabs, but against good players this get increasingly hard.

Now I've played 6 ranked games as trist. My first carry, my first solomid character. Lost the first game because I pressed the wrong skills so many times. The next 5 I won where i carried hard (going 10+ 2 in every game). The game is now much more fun when I'm the deciding factor and can make sure there is no feeding mid. woo

so.... swines E only increase its damage by swines own physical attack? thats pretty retarded, the reason why maledict is strong in DotA is because ALL source of damage to the target afflicted by maledicts buffs the dmg of the spells, also the fact that Maledict is an AoE spell...

well, what do i know, EU server ain't even up yet T_T

From what I have seen of Swain so far (2 games on HSGG's stream, admittedly not a whole lot), I would want to build him around his ult and rather tanky. Spirit Visage, Abyssal Scepter, something for Armor, Rylai's or Zhonya's. He might be able to stay in the middle of a fight and tank loads of damage while dealing AoE magic damage over time while healing himself.

It probably sucks though :p

i'm thinking of something along the lines of rylais>abyssal>GA probably going with clarity + ghost... i suck at playing casters though. imma wait and see how others build him first.

First impression of Swain:

First of all, he is very fun to play. I went for a semi tanky build with spirit visage, sunfire, abyssal and haunting guise.

I had around 130 armor/res, so with my ult on I could tank at least 2 guys without dying.

His W is pretty much one of the best initiating skills there is. It's extremely good and not that hard to land.
I got firstblood on Ashe @ mid. His poking isn't bad because if you hit with your W and follow up with the QE and a auto attack. Dont be afraid to take a few counter hits if you are close to getting your ult. That thing really heals a ton.

Late game damage was not bad at all either. Not something you would call imba or bad. Just pretty solid.

I went 11-2-10 and I really recommend this dude. Maybe he won't be a top tier champ thats optimal for ranked/tournaments. But he is actually really fun to play.

My first game I got completely run the fuck over by a guy I knew from ranked on Swain, he was like 15-3 and we were running from 1v3s against him.

To learn lasthitting, simply play many Ashe mid games. First you will need to learn fending off the enemy champion, but after many games their behaviour becomes predictable. From there it's just a matter of running around with your char and rightclick a minion when it's at low hp..

EDIT: I see I missed your point. Improve beyond lasthitting and ward-buying is simply a matter of playing many games. After playing 50 games with Tryndamere, I play a lot better than when I played 10 games. Simply because you get a better feel for when you can go in for another hit or have you get the fuck out. This goes for any champion.

Playing many games improves your decisionmaking.

Then there's the aspect of teamplay and positioning. I play solo exclusively, so you better ask others

Didnt he mean "how to improve when i already last-hit well and play ward-oriented"?

IMO it's time to learn positioning and teamplay from now on, when to push, when to switch lanes, when to defend which lanes, controlling dragon 24/7

Learn to manipulate your allies into following your orders. A sane person giving mediocre orders is much better than completely uncoordinated play. Positioning etc. doesn't help at all if your allies engage 2v5 all the time.
Not an easy task imo. Especially if some idiot decides to mock your items for no particular reason or just calls you a newb even if he's the baddie.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
