yea, I haven't either :p you're definitely pro at it and as the guy who's getting grenades chucked at him all the time, I enjoy having you on my team (-'.'-)b
I find it especially funny cause you're a rager though lol. Cause it's always like: 1) play stupidly aggressive and get caught horribly out of position 2) get saved
3a) try to return the favor by staying and fighting 4a) both die 5a) utah rages at you for being an idiot and explains the economics of preserving the carry with a killing spree and snowball items vs. preserving the 0-1-10 Janna
OR
3b) ditch utah 4b) he dies 5b) receive a lecture on why what you were doing was stupid while he respawns
I find it really funny how often other people try to do the first path with you multiple times in a single game. Doing it once is sorta instinct, but once you start to realize that utah will just throw himself in there as a distraction to preserve your SotO stacks, you'd think carries would catch on to this and learn to just run.
I just picked this game up, and have been doing decently with Twitch, as he's currently in the free-champ rotation. I'm thinking of swapping to Nasus though, and have gone through Hyfe's guide for him on leaguecraft. What I'm worried about is that he's a strong teamwork centric hero, and that in my low level/elo he may not be as viable as a straight dps carry like twitch or similar heroes.
I'm also holding off buying runes until I can use tier 3 runes, as it doesn't look like the rune-combining system has a very good chance of coming up with the type of rune I'd want.
Just last night, actually that game I linked with the Rylai on Rammus, there was a moment where we traded 3 on each team, but their Sion and Alistar survived with like 90% (fucking ults LOL) and Panth and I survived with like 20% hp, but 800HP Rammus = tough as nails 400HP Panth = please go away. So from middle all the way to our inhib I was pballing and taunting and such to pull them off Panth, and he kept coming in to Aegis them. I was like STOP IT, RUN! THEY CAN'T KILL ME
He ended up dying, but the rest of my team raged at him for not running instead, so I felt vindicated. It was just, gaaah.

You'll get a lot of mixed opinions on Nasus, the best advice I can give you is to try him. Brees/Inept carries with Nasus regardless of his team, but I find I have to rely on my teammates a lot (or I need a 1v2/1v1 lane to farm with SF), while others still think he's underwhelming. It's because he's automatically going to soak up a lot of damage, so you have to balance the ability to kill against living to actually do it... and as you'd imagine compared to a hero like Twitch, where you automatically turn your teammates into meatshields, you end up having to absorb all the damage AND do all the damage, which can be really difficult.

yea man, 2 abusive lanes and then you have to deal with the midgame burst of Kass + Panth on ganks. god I love that 3 man setup, <3 Pokey, Utah and Turkey for being able to always field that gay ass lane, lol.
The last two heroes would ideally be Ezreal/Ashe to obliterate the last lane, too :D Jungler? Who needs a jungler when you're jacking up everyone in the game.

the only thing you need with Nasus is for your team to not hang you out to dry when you turn your ult on... which REALLY isn't asking a lot, so I'd suggest going with him, he's really a great character.
not sure what the leaguecraft guide looks like, but with Nasus you want to be literally 100% tank, only possibly deviating for sheen, but eventually I got tired of that too and switched to something like: fast HoG Merc Treads 1 or 2 Tanking items (sunfires, GA, veil, thornmail) upgrade to omen more tanking items
your abilities make you hit like a truck (especially the ult), so you really don't need to invest in damage so much as you need to invest in making sure you live long enough to dish it out.

I actually play less than lots of people O_O I usually only play like 1-2 games a day, and sometimes go a few days without playing (aside from random gaming binges), I'm just bored as fuck at work and end up posting in this thread because I have nothing better to do on a company internet.
oh fair enough haha
i find i can't really play more than 1-2 games a day without my mind going crazy, like when i go to sleep i will just replay last hitting over and over in my head and it's annoying
I just get mentally drained after 1-2 games. Never was a mass-gamer in SC either >_>
I play more mostly when I start queueing with someone (like Pokey, he pops on once or twice a week) or when I'm on on tilt and want to get over a bad loss.
First liquidparty doesn't work. Then I go into a game with an Udyr who dies within 45 seconds of game starting and three of the people asking what jungling is and why I'm not laning.
I'm mostly looking at the solo queue ranked ladder, personally. Aside from playing with a team on vent, I don't know if I can stomach superduper tryhard comps with both teams packing heals up the wazzoo, although I suppose bans and the fact that you can't mirror match would help a bit with that.
EPT
Oh well, solo queue for evaaaaa.
