And I believe they had no jungler, so I was planning on just splitting the jungle 1o'clock 7o'clock. Laning fiddle is just bad, like a laning warwick or udyr. Hm yeah, I think I played Ezreal the game before or something. I just didn't notice you had smite until the pregame loading screen.  I haven't played much Fiddle but I thought he was a pretty strong laner and BraveGhost pretty much summed up my thoughts on Amumu laning and everything. | ||

I was thinking of picking up Kogmaw xD... xin is the strongest of this bunch, malz sux prty hard easily worst caster period, arguably worst hero. olaf is a decent jungler. kog has nice pokey pokey stuff, but kinda hard to pick up and play imo since he very skillshotty + is squishy and has no built in escapes. Vlad is pretty well rounded imo, a tanky caster, his ult is pretty ballin but thats the only really special thing about him. Xin is a great tank-melee dps, since he does quite a bit of dmg with 0 dmg items and has a very useful aoe slow and single target knockup. if ur gonna pick up kogmaw, experiment alot with both ad and ap builds, both play quite differently and are both strong in their own ways and i suppose decide what fits better with how you play. | ||

I'm not saying he didn't get screwed somewhat, I'm just saying fiddle levels faster, and can gank way easier. Since Amumu was jungling, this really is complete and utter nonsense. | ||

Buy a ward, now you don't have to worry. Fiddle can't put any pressure unless he has his ult, and without blue you can't spam your abilities. Last hitting with fiddles 46+2 damage is near impossible, so you can either uses your mana killing or hitting the other team.

EDIT: And the fact that amumu is an awful laner and hence needs to jungle | ||

They just have a bunch of hp. Especially because of the existence of clense. Alistar and Shen are both "tanks" to varying extents as well, then, and I think Shen does a better job of it in the early game. Late game though, playing as Taric makes me feel like I have a taunt aura with how much of a threat people perceive me as. Unrelated note: Just played a game with Ryedan which featured our Shaco getting 17 stacks of Sword of the Occult at 20 minutes and 2-shotting a Veigar. I guess that's why he gets banned! | ||

Keeping someone alive is not restricted to simply healing them Shen can be a lifesaver with his taunt, Alistar is designed to keep their DPS away from your Squishies, Rammus will rammus you. Edit: This is not to say Taric is not a fantastic tank | ||

You can't say that "nobody but taric is a tank", that's just retarded. | ||

It's kind of silly to argue like that, you could say that Rammus is a better tank than Annie, which still doesn't mean he's a better champion overall, etc. | ||

I saw the Termination 4 team on the page before, but curious wondering if anyone else made it to a team. | ||

He might not be as good as an actual tank tank, but as a damage-dealing tank and a ganker I think he's overall a better champion, not to mention his ability to countergank and save people. It's kind of silly to argue like that, you could say that Rammus is a better tank than Annie, which still doesn't mean he's a better champion overall, etc. Idk shen is kinda mediocre whereas rammus wins games past 40 minutes. | ||

Champions get the label tank because LoL has more bad players than any game on earth. Poor targetting and awful positioning. | ||
