Wow i TOTALLY expected Le Blanc to be 6300, yet she is 3150!

I know. Riot was saying that she was really difficult to play like every other sentence, and here she is, 3150.

I guess difficulty really *does* have nothing to do with it, even Riot's perception of difficulty...

After a 2-month or so break I've started playing as Kassadin. The first few games went pretty terribly, but I've started getting the hang of him, and after this game with a lvl 1 leaver, I think I'll start maining him:

And I think Southlight really was correct, it's pretty easy and doable to out-harrass almost anyone with Kassadin. The effect of the passive is actually insane and makes you win in attrition against most people. o_O I don't really know how to be active with Kassadin early on, though. I just sat on my lane and farmed, and I think I was 0-0-1 at like 20 minutes. Later in the game, though, it's pretty awesome.

On an unrelated note, Kerp is a 1670 Elo European player who's been a lot of fun to play with and it's been great having him carry. =P

Is there any special builds or tactics you can employ to beat a heavy tank setup with caster/range dps.. it just seems impossible as they can just push like retards and never take any damage.. I guess its just a default setup loss? Kite forever? But you cant really kite forever if you have any plans to win the game as ur gonna have to approach their towers/base at some point =p

Maybe I'm too preferential toward Zirun-style Janna, but it always feels wrong to me when Janna plans around getting a 2500 gold item.

EDIT: And as expected, Recommended Item Changer forces a reinstall on patch day.

Oh sweet Shikyo is back with more screenshots. I don't understand Reverie on Shaco. Is EU that much different or was he just trolling.

kogmaw's W and madred's bloodrazors do a good job of dicing up tanks. So does amumu's despair, warwick's Q, poppy's whole combo, kassadin in general, nasus's ult, olaf's E. also picking your battles wisely is very important against a tank team. eventually pure damage as well as arpen/magpen starts to overcome armor stacking. if you can keep the game going long enough, a dps team will always beat a tank team. it's just a problem of them ending it too soon that you have to stave off.

Hey chill, it's a normal-mode game. >_>

Kerp was dominating the lanes in early-mid, so I guess they got the armor against him.

Dude you post way more screenshots, stop whining.

Yeah he trolls in every game he plays with me and inflecta. I think he played one game properly with jungle Yi and went like 25-1, but IIRC that game he had a troll build as well.

I also tried talking about Kassadin and how he works x_X And maybe a discussion about how to go about being more active, and people just go EU sucks. That's not a high-skill game guys.

LeBlanc is 3150 becuse the price tags are based on development costs not difficulty to play. If a champion costs more to make (such as because they have a new mechanic, like vlad's pool) they will be more expensive. While LeBlanc has new twists, her abilities function are mostly recycled versions of old abilities which means developing them is relatively cheap and they can "get away" with charging less for them.

All of that said, who cares play Sivir she's amazing now.

But Kog's W & MBR do magic-based damage. So if they stacked magic res, wouldn't that null out the effects of those to a good extent, as well as any other mages in the team?

That is incredibly interesting. I never thought of that before o.O

I guess you assumed we had tanks/melee chars from your examples, but it was just casters/support and range dps.

So more of a default loss then?

So is it just me, or is Lux like a much weaker version of AP Ezreal, or something? o_O She felt pretty underwhelming in the games I played with her. Might be because I suck but.
