I play Mordekaiser every time I see an enemy Trynd and no healer. Ignite + ult about 3 seconds after Endless Rage, and the rage never stops.

I think at my level, though, people only play 1 or 2 different DPS carries or gankers.

Damn that's a good point I hadn't been thinking about.

Now that cleanse doesn't clear damage debuffs I can prolly swap it out for something else when the opposing team has like no CC.

Although tbh it's super rare that the opposing team doesn't have much CC, most people aren't that dumb

talking more along the lines of a char I normally don't run cleanse on like annie( i run flash/ignite)... but running it when they have excess forms of cc or chars that are easily shut down by it

Ok ok ghost on annie isnt that bad. Lets me get more double kills in team fights, or side ganks. Flash is still better imo though.

easiest way to stop a jungler is to ward lizard golem and dragon and then have stealth or fast character (twitch or shaco is really good for it).

I see mid red pot/ 2health pot/ward opens a lot, usually ward is at lizard.
Might try a brilliance pot/ward open/mana pots(? :D) with annie

Nico had some nice Nunu>Heimer counterpicking going on in some TT games. It actually made me wonder how that would work on SR(probably not well since it's so much more open, which hurts Nunu so much).
How did the experience of working at Mr Burns' Nuclear Plant influence Homer's composition of the Iliad and Odyssey?

I'm not really sure how much of a counter Nunu is to Heimer on SR. It works well early since he can run forward and consume the turrets, and it's not hard to switch lanes so that Nunu is in whatever lane Heimer is in.

But after some levels Nunu will have to eat rockets/grenades/other turret fire in order to consume a turret. Also the CD on consume is kind of long so I conclude Nunu is not that effective a counter to Heimer pushing after early game.
Cheese is good for you!

Dunno... I would definitely avoid playing soloq ranked for a while and honestly I think the elo reset was a bad move from Riot. But I guess it had to be done. And from what I've heard even at 1400 rating the scrubs won't go away.

From a thread in LoL forums:

Is anybody else stuck in a sinkhole for 5v5 solo queue? I certainly am...

Game number 1: 0-19 olaf on my team. Needless to say, we lost.
Game number 2: Two leavers AND an afk on my side. Loss.
Game number 3: 0-12 Yi 2-10 Singed. Loss
Game number 4: Complete blowout win.
Game number 5: AFK player on my side who kept moving slightly to keep from getting kicked. Loss
Game number 6: 2-13 Kayle. Loss
Game number 7: 1-12 Pantheon our side. Their entire team was magic damage yet nobody on my team(except me) got magic resist. 18-2 Morgana their side. Loss


The point is that it REALLY doesn't matter how good you are. If you get 2 AFKrs you will lose even if you play like a freaking Jesus on LSD. You can't destroy the whole team single-handedly. If you get a bad streak you're going down the drain with the scrubs. Doing premades to get high is the only way to go and maybe after that you can do some solo. It's just sad that you can't get decent games anymore...

I've uninstalled LoL for this reason. You can't carry every single game especially if you get assholes that once they get killed twice in 3 minutes decide to feed all game without caring anymore.

I have a question to the tl lol community:
Im getting quite good with shaco,mostly carrying my team with real good stats.But i feel its kinda unfair,i mean i cant be this good(i started playing 1 week ago and im lvl 19).So i realized shaco is uber overpowered and im pretty sure when i get there i wont be able to play shaco coz hes banned everywhere?
My question is:do u guys think i should start learning another champion right now to be able to play later on?

I wouldn't say Shaco is uber overpowered but it's definitely really really annoying to fight good shacos and they make a HUGE difference in a game. That said, I would definitely recommend learning new heroes because with Season 1 Shaco is banned in 75% of the games I'd say. So yeah, for sure learn some new heroes as soon as possible. The more the better because you're going to constantly find your heroes banned/picked.

Shloober! What's your TL name?

I'll counterpick occasionally based on junglability. If I'm a late pick, Shaco is banned, and they don't have WW, I'll sometimes play my hardcore-jungle Fiddle (WEWQW -> dragon -> mejai's -> R -> gank).

Just wondering if you bought a single Riot Point.
