I don't think nasus is viable in the jungle until you have level 2 or 3 spirit fire at least

Fiddlesticks, olaf, or xin are all decent junglers too


Nasus has no problems jungling at all



Can you explain how it works then? I'm looking all over the internet and I can't find anything.


Also I just rocked a 1v2 lane with Nasus. He's so good when you build him tanky. It's like Randium's Omen was made for the guy.

Why does MM always place me with a leaver when I start to win a few games in a row? If you leave you should be BANNED from ranked play.

I think I'm done with LoL now that they are banning people under level 30 from match making.

You can join HoN matchmaking minutes after buying the game, why do people seem to think you need to grind hundreds of games before you can compete in this? It's so insane how peoples minds have been warped around the system that LoL has implemented. It makes no sense at all. Masteries and runes are not THAT significant and I've been a better player than 75% of level 30s in half the amount of time it takes to reach level 30.

I don't know if they want to sell more XP potions or some shit or they are just trying to quell the massive amount of level 30s who are so delusional as to think they aren't as fuck-awful as they actually are at this game, but I'm not gonna allow myself to be relegated to grinding games like it's World of Warcraft because some self-entitled trash players who have 500+ games under their belt think it's my fault that they are still terrible.

You can still join matchmaking at level 1. You can't join the highly competitive play that you'll probably lose anyway in for another 10 levels (like two weeks) and consequently newer players also can't make that mistake. Sounds like a win for everyone.

Actually yes runes and masteries can give a very clear advantage to a player.
Especially for early game mana regen.

you have seen better players then the level 30s because you are being matched with level 30s at that point, level 30s who drop that low are going to be terrible.

I'm very happy that they did this, in fact I wish they did it from the start when I was starting ranked.

Except I've already played like 50 games in MM and I have been up to 1400 points and am now at 1300 at level 25.

What is the point of stopping these players from taking part on the ladder, if they lose they drop down into the pits and play with eachother. If they win, they win.

There's very little difference between a level 20 with full runes and a level 30 with full runes.

Stupid decision.

the main problem is they drag 4 other people down with them, and its bad for player morale to lose a game due to one person which you feel does not belong on your team, the truth may be that the ranking may be similar, but one person may be pro working their way up, and another person may be noob that got carried by friends. Its one of the problems when you use a system designed for individual play like Elo and use it for a team oriented game. Then again, theres few alternatives besides Elo to determine ranking.

Those stats sound so flawed,

1)Are these solo queue, premade 3v3, premade 5v5? Chances are the 30% are playing pre-made while the 70% who lost are solo queue. I'd honestly throw solo queue out the window.

2)No stats based on leavers of normal games compared to leaving in ranked? Might be the same hundred/thousands of players repeat offenders making you notice the sub 30's more than the 30's.

3)If the complains are that much, no one took my reccomendation that lower levels should start at a lower ELO. I'm thinking 20 was roughly 1000, since you can't win that much per game it would take a 6 winning streak to go from 1000 to 1200 and play with the big boys and you have proven to belong there.

I started playing a few days ago (spinesheath @ EU) and have a few technical questions that I haven't found an answer to yet:

1) What does the blue/red/purple buff do exactly?

2) Do item effects stack?
(possible answer: all but the unique ones? How about boots?)

3) Does CD reduction work on all spells?
(it seems like it doesn't reduce the CD on Ashe's ulti, though I couldn't tell for sure)

4) How is damage calculated?
(just a rough description instead of the proper formula, like armor = absolute reduction?)

I guess that should do for now.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

@1) So Level 30's don't have the same chance of losing as level 20's? Or are you saying that 20's are inferior to 30's? Whatever statement you're claiming, it doesn't make sense.

@2) So there are more offenders sub 30 than level 30's. Cool. More reason to limit ranked to 30s.

@3) What about those unlucky level 30's who always somehow end up with a much inferior team cause his elo to drop immensely?

I guess that should do for now.

1) Blue = Cooldown reduction/Mana regeneration
Red = Added buff to attack slowing attacked targets and dealing damage over time.
Purple = Damage/AP boost and added Regeneration

2) If the effect is not Unique, they all stack. Boots effects are unique so they do not stack.

3) Yes, CD reduction works for everything except for nidalee's pounce. (that I know of)

4)
Q: How does armor and magic resistance work? (Credit to Garek for framing it better than I could.)

Every 1 armor means the damage it takes to kill you is extended by 1% of your hitpoints. At 100 armor, it takes 100% more damage to kill you, ie it requires double damage, ie you're taking half-damage. At 300 armor you're taking 25% damage, etc.

Magic resistance works in the exact same fashion, except it does so against spells only. There is no overlap between armor and magic resistance at all. (Ex. Having 500 Armor would have no impact on spells, having 500 Magic Resistance would have no impact on physical attacks)


There's a FAQ post here, might want to check it out.

My soloQ win percentage is continuously rising. I'm pretty sure once you get out of the dunghole, matchmaking is actually pretty decent.

I went from -5 to +30 in about a month after I dropped premades and playing almost only solo Q.
