This is how I've been using locked skins:
I selected Kat as my hero. Then I switch to Cho Gath, and the flip to the nightmare skin. After which I switch back to Kat. When the game starts, I'll be using the Mercenary skin.
I don't have enough unlocked skins to fiddle around with any more, but with this information, maybe some of you can use more skins.

this game is barely even fun any more ...

I am worried that it won't last however, since I have been playing Cho'Gath using a guide I found called MFing Cho. I see a lot of people say this is only viable at low levels. So should I change my build to AP Cho like recommended on the guide here to make sure I can keep progressing? Or is tank Cho still viable and people are overstating how ineffective it is? Should I just switch to full time Mordekaiser?!
I usually build Regrowth pendant, Merc Treads, finish Warmogs, Guardian Angel, and then Atma's. If the game is still going by that point I usually consider a Starks or whatever would help the most.
I appreciate any thoughts or advice. The MFing Chogath sucks cock. Seriously, it hasn't been updated in over 6 months, the skill build is terrible, the item build is bad, and people really only think it's a good guide because he's like "so the enemy think he can kill u? NO FEAST HIS F*ING ASS UR TEH MFING CHOGATH NOM NOM NOM". The funny thing about his build is just the way it's written makes people think it's good. Seriously though, get rupture first, go QEQEQR then R>Q>W>E. Not putting points into scream until level 15 or whatever is just soooooooooo bad.
Thanks for the link. I'll try playing him this way tonight. MFing Cho'Gath is not so bad at low levels because people don't know that he's not that threatening. It's pretty easy for me to hold the mid solo because of his passive and rupture harass, and after that the other team sees him as a huge unkillable monster and their gameplan (assuming they had one) falls apart as they scramble to try and kill me and stay out of feast range. It was so bad one game I went 17-0-? the other team started crying over all chat how our Cho was a carry and it was so imba wah wah wah.
But I like Cho and I'd like to play a build that would stand up to a team with a clue. Much obliged for the help.

All I have is nightmare cho skin, so I could not test it out

You're doing an extra, unnecessary step.
Select Cho Gath first, select the nightmare cho gath skin Go back to katarina Lock-in
That's all.

god im glad im out of shit elos. i mean im not great, but i forgot how much more raging and bitching there is when you first start out. playing a smurf and people just dont get it. they are so intense about the game when they are just bad.
|
Man, does kogmaw have any use? Everytime I play with one, they're always completely useless. Both AD and AP kogs are bad. You have awful survivability with poor range with AD and AP, you just dont do dmg.

AP Kog is hella cool. I find him impossible to play well, but I think well played AP Kog is potentially really good.

I'm definitely in the top 10% of players. I hate MM. lol. another mid-high Elo player bites the dust.

Season 1 is pretty fun so far - not to sound ridiculous but I had forgotten what it was like to play down in the ELO's. Running something like 14/4 on average the first 6 games

Yeah, I really agree with this. Kat was my first real main but since I've been doing ranked games and people don't just overextend against my early aggression, I find that I have a hard time getting rolling with Kat. I kind of feel like she needs the early gold boost from a couple of early kills/assists to really have much impact on the late game. She's still fun to play but definitely much harder to use against competent players who don't overextend early and either CC/focus you out of Death Lotus during teamfights.

question: how do you tell who is pro in this game? there is no replay/ obs system to show people skills, is there a legit team or smthing?
also: what is the best way to climb out of rank 12xx? kinda up and down atm....

This is something I've been thinking about a bit.
How indicative do you guys think K/D rations really are? I find that I end a lot of games just breaking even or with less kills than deaths, but my assists are often through the roof. In fact I often feel like I do a lot of the work for kills but other people end up getting the killing blow just out of sheer luck or because I have to back off and let someone else finish the fight.
If you contribute reasonably well to pretty much every teamfight, can you still be considered a feeder just because you end up with a lot of deaths over kills? Or along the same lines, what would you consider a better score: 14/9/12 or 3/6/21?

I assume you were playing Kat? How did he force you out before he had his cat-burst to threaten you? It seems like Kat would burst a lot harder than Nid pre-6.

Almost every hero has a limitation of some sort, though.
