I dunno, maybe. She kicks into godmode the fastest, but I think her godmode < Ezreal godmode, but I'm not sure.

Either way, the real strongest carry in the game is Amumu, followed by Garen.

No, Garen is a stronger carry than Amumu, Amumu is pretty team-dependant but Garen can just lol at the opponents and start domination from level 2 onward whereas Amumu isn't that amazing until way later.

EDIT so this doesn't disappear because of page change:

Surprisingly I don't really mind 2v2 lanes since I haven't yet met a problematic lasthitter and tend to get all the farm anyway. If the lane combination is good it normally turns out quite fine.


That being said though, what item and skillbuild should I go for as Olaf? I've had gigantic problems with his skillbuild, his E needs to be maxed early for max efficiency but so does his Q, his W speeds everything up as well. There's just so many choices.

About his item build, I was thinking about something like 1-2 Warmogs, Atmas, Mallet and Starks and then some survivability, but I haven't been able to figure out a good item build either. I think Olaf should get at least one cooldown reduction item, but I really don't know which.

Nasus makes farming fun. Last hitting with Q is like a minigame - an incredibly addictive minigame. Then you get to melt whole creepwaves with SF and watch yr golds multiply.

Garen cannot singlehandedly turn a game completely around though. I mean, yea, amumu's team dependent, but if you can even slightly rely on them, he provides the most game changing presence in teamfights.

I've been messing around with WW lately and am thinking of picking him up. I really enjoy his jungling and overall play style. I have a few questions if nobody minds answering them.

I have been using Smite/Clairvoyance and a 1/18/11 mastery setup. the 11 includes extra buff duration and 1g/10sec. I have been using ArPen/mp5pl/CDRpl/CDR(and one arpen) since that's what I own at the moment.

My jungle route consists of Blue -> Wolves -> Wraiths -> Red -> Golems -> bp for razors -> dragon. I can generally hit the dragon around 5:45 - 6:00 killing it before 6:30. I've been opening Cloth Armor x5hp but found I can get by without any health pots and only bring one just in case.

Is this a decent jungling route/dragon time? What runes should I work on getting for him? I'm thinking ArPen/Armor/CDR/Health

Thanks

Well he isn't about turning losing games around, he's about dominating early and making those games winning games right off the bat, starting with lane denying and tower diving into insane ganks and more towerdiving, then with early sunfires he's almost able to single-handedly kill his under-farmed opposition. Garen's an early-mid carry, Amumu's way later. Amumu probably wins almost every game at like 35 minutes, Garen's point is to make the game unwinnable for the opponents by 20 minutes.

warmogs is a bad item, period. I literally won't get it on anyone anymore. every olaf build I see is like, mallet, starks, sunfire, GA or something.

No warmogs on Olaf? =( That makes me sad. Yeah I know those builds but I really want cdr. Maybe soul shroud, Randuins, Frozen heart...

EDIT: Mogwai, how about skill build? It's the most problematic thing for me atm.

Oh I'll give my current idea:

depends if you're jungling or not. iirc, jungling your supposed to ignore E, laning you're supposed to get 1 in q and then ignore it.

if you want CDR so bad (no idea why tbh), I think you should probably just replace starks with a ghostblade.

Hey Mr. 5HitCombo master Cho`gath. I've been looking through some of your posts to try and play Cho myself (I'm only lvl 19 though so I'm missing some runes/masteries). One thing I noticed is that you have quite a bit of MR in most of your screenshots, which is good. I'm curious how your build differs (if at all) against teams without much magic dps because I see that pretty often at my current level of play.

Ah the reason I want to get a CDR item is, CDR for E does wonders for your effective DPS, being able to Q every second while chasing or while in a stationary melee battle is amazing, and having W active most of the time is amazing. Sadly I'm not too sure what CDR items would synergize well with Olaf. I think I'll have to use a 11-0-19 mastery setup too, solely for the CDR TT

I'm awful with Chogath!

But you can't go wrong with Sunfires.

EDIT: Or just go mass Phantom Dancer and max Vorpal first, it's so gud

Hmmm brutalizer might be really good actually ^_^ Stacking armor pen...

So okay I have a general idea, then just runes and masteries. I'm thinking about apen, then dodge, magic resist per level, and hp quints or armor pen, but actually...

Was also thinking of a apen, mres/lvl, cdr/lvl, cdr set O_o

Hey guys, for anyone interested in trying something new on LoL or just enjoy learning certain champions I have just released a pretty comprehensive guide to AP Twisted Fate which I would greatly appreciate any ratings for. It should cover everything you need to know to give it a go and its a very entertaining playstyle. Probably not best for new players but if you have played for awhile this can be very effective.

It was written in the last week and so all information is up-to-date and will be maintained as such.

http://leaguecraft.com/strategies/guide/7106-kazuokiriyama-s-competitive-guide-to-season-1-twisted-fate.xhtml

Please rate if you get the chance as otherwise guides tend not to get read which is a shame considering the hours people put into them,

Thanks.

Usually my skills with Olaf depend on the enemy team. Not that I'm a great Olaf or anything. But if their team has Rammus, I max E faster and if they have someone with lots of HP I max W faster. I go Razor - Swifties - Mallet - Armor/Mres, but I should try out Bruta and see how much it helps. I find myself running out of mana in fights already with just 12% from runes and masteries.
Q is the best jungling/chasing skill, W is good for damage and survivability, E is good for nuking... I need to play him more though.

Damn, I played Garen for the 1st time ever today and I'm already 3-0 with him. :D

Actually I think it might be worth it to try this skill build:

Q W Q W E R -> max E

That way you'd have a decent slow and nice jungling with W and the early benefit of the E nuke... Hmmm =S So many options, Olaf must have the most varying item build in the game.

My imba low-elostomp item build:

Merc, Sunfire, Sunfire, Sunfire, FoN, GA. Replace FoN with Atmas if they don't have amazing magic damage. Been working amazingly well. With the early domination you'll get a 10min sunfire, after which you can towerdive anything like a boss. The only game I've lost with this build around 1350-1400 ranked Elo I went something like 16-5-12 in.

i don't have as much credibility to say this as i used to but some of you guys need to think twice before you make generalizations, statements, or give advice in this thread. prior to season 1, Elo was invisible so nobody really knew how good they were outside of the few of us who were clearly in high Elo. now that Elo is visible and entirely within your control, there is no other excuse you can give other than saying ridiculous stuff like "i play better than i am". that means you need to have credibility to back up what you are saying. i don't play this game as much but whenever i drop in this thread and see ridiculous posts from lowbies giving ridiculous advice it still pisses me off.
Is this because of what I posted? I did not advise vampiric scepter as a starting item. I asked for help fine tuning the build I posted (the thing I was questioning most was vampiric scepter itself, actually).
no it's not. and if it seemed like that then i apologize. it's a feeling i've had for a long time and i'm sure is shared by many of the other players from TL (i remember inept telling me something along the lines of "i give up on that thread"). and though you "give advice to other lowbies in the thread" (like Southlight) i suggest that you make sure that advice is either applicable at all levels or VERY VERY good at said level (like how to rape face with Yi at low Elo). you aren't doing anybody a favor by suggesting Xin is a good mid, trust me.


I never suggested Xin was a good mid. I stated that I was playing Xin and that I personally was going middle. I also stated that against lowbies I have been very successful with Xin going mid.

Never did I say that Xin was good at going mid.


That shit develops a lot of bad habits. I'm really sick of people taking mid with crap like Xin Zhao when I play Kass or people refusing to go Morgana with my Garen because "that Warwick is my friend so I will lane with him". Yes, he is your friend, but Garen with Morgana produces kills and wins lanes and laning WW is a fail no matter how you look at it.

This egoistical approach many people have does the game no good. It's common for many people even here on TL. "My team sucks so I will go mid and carry" they say and they completely wreck the game with it even though there's a better laning choice in many cases. It gets less common the closer you are to lvl 30 because people slowly tend to realize there's no way to win 1v5 but still the amount of laning composition fuckups is enormous. Yesterday, because of another premade I had to lane as Garen with GP. He didn't even deny or harass, he just spent all his mana lasthitting creeps with Parrley. Yes, this made him farm alot, but that lane was SOOO much of a wasted potential.


The simple fact is that I don't trust my teammates to make good use of mid, while I do trust myself to do so.

I played Xin in 8 of my last 10 games, here's how they went:
Xin Zhao - 12-4, victory
Xin Zhao - 5-1, victory
Xin Zhao - 4-1, victory
Xin Zhao - 8-1, victory
Xin Zhao - 5-2, victory
Xin Zhao - 24-6, victory
Xin Zhao 12-2, victory

I believe that I, as Xin, am going to be more successful going middle than the vast majority of solo queuers who could also go middle--hell, a surprising amount of the time my kills+assists add up to the total of my team's kills up to the 25 minute mark. If I'm playing in a premade with people I know are good and the other team has a hero that can mid somewhat competently (as Southlight I believe said, Xin destroys Ashe/TF and a few other heroes), I have no problem going a sidelane.
