Is there anything in this thread about character(s) for complete noobs / builds / how to start out / etc? Well basically your first 50 games are going to consist of someone leaving on either side after dying once. The side with the leaver then starts blaming each other for dying in team fights and lose. So items don't matter until you reach a comfortable level anyway, so just get the recommended stuff and try not to die. You'll do well just by not dying since everyone else will be flooding the field in their own corpses. Hmm well in my first game I was the one leaving after dying once.
YOU'RE THAT GUY!!! Well, just know in the future that one or two or three deaths before level 20 is kinda meaningless. No need to leave over it. Just realize the majority of the other players are just as bad even though they think they're good because they had that one game once where they went 10/0/5

When I start LOL it says that the server status is "unavailable". Does anybody else have this problem? Prior to that I was playing a normal game. After the game I recieved the message that they will be doing server maintenance. However, this has been over an hour ago and according to their forum the maintenance is over already. By the way, I tried reinstalling the game and it patched afterwards, but still says "unavailable"...

Click on Amumu or Blitzcrank picture and do up down left right up up down down. I know it works for the Busy screen but I'm not sure for Unavailable

Thanks, it actually changed the status to "available". However, when I try to log in, it says "connection failure: unable to connect to the PVP.net server.". Can you log in?

Yeah I can. Just give it a few hours, this happens from time to time.

I was just logged in -- zero issues.

Thanks of the quick responses guys. I guess, I'll just wait till tomorrow and see if it works then.
edit: I just saw that the maintenance of the European server is still in progress. My fault...
|
Lol, but at least you know a new trick for when the servers are busy.

I feel like there's some really nasty combo you can pull with Galio that abuses his bulwalk. I mean, giving 90 resist and armor to any ally is no joke. Imagine putting that stuff on olaf, who naturally has high HP and rushes frozen mallet. Or heck, put it on a bloodthister rushing yi and make him destroy things.
Combined with his movespeed boost, his taunt, and his anti-mage capabilities, I think he's a melee carry's best friend.

Flash ult is his nasty combo

Well...that alone wouldn't be any reason to use him over amumu, considering you CAN stop Galio's ulti if one person on your team has cleanse and then stops his channeling somehow.
...
that being said the prospect of having galio ult, then amumu ult, is kinda sickening.
|
So can Galio jungle at all? He has two aoe damage skills...
One of the reasons I think mumu/rammus are so good is that they can jungle.
|
Can he shield himself with bulwalk? If so then he can easily jungle with golem buff.
|

He can jungle but he doesn't have any hard CC like most junglers do (inc. rammus and mumu). Actually in the champion spotlight Phreak was jungling with him.
|
Well, playing a Galio on your team kinda implies you aren't going for early aggression but instead biding for time until your carry is pretty farmed, then you soup him up by doubling his EHP.
|
I have the launcher error... can any1 help me?

One of the reasons I think mumu/rammus are so good is that they can jungle. rammus jungle sucks. one of the worst jungle tanks IMO.

You get quite a bit of gold from the early kills Ryze should get and the second one doesn't need to be any faster than your Archangels or any other item would need to be. Ryze needs the hp and mana and so you should get them. They don't even need to build up to be good on him, it's just a bonus. And even on a dual lane I get amazing farm, and especially if you're owning them like you should with Ryze, the RoAs should be quite speedy. Yeah I wouldn't have good farm in a TL.net inhouse because US server lags and I can't lasthit there WTF are you on about, talking like Ryze is some dominant force in the lane? Are the euro players really that much worse than NA? Eh he's a good laner o_O What do you mean? I agree. Of course it depends who the other 3 people in the lane are but generally Ryze does well with mana regen + E and the threat of burst. sorry Nony but E pushes lane and lane-pushing is bad. ryze is no more dominant then say a zilean, annie, bird or other laning caster is. problem is that ryze scales absolutely terribly into the late game.On August 11 2010 06:04 barbsq wrote: i think that garen is the best tower diver ever, fuck vlad, he dont got shit on dat garen katarina begs to differ.On August 11 2010 04:53 ZERG_RUSSIAN wrote:Show nested quote +On August 11 2010 04:51 red_ wrote: Mog have you checked Locicero's Panth build?
