I'd assume stuff like getting a bunch of crit runes when you don't play Tryndamere or Shaco. I'm building up ArP Marks Mp5/level Seals CDR/level Glyphs HP Quints Since I pretty much only play melee DPS chars bar nunu, but I only need to replace ArP marks with AP Marks for nunu. Nonetheless, can my aforementioned rune build work for Malphite tank as well? | ||

wow someone brought up poppy while i wrote this post haha (no it didnt take me 20 minutes to write that post haha. but i came back to the thread and didnt refresh and wrote it) On August 17 2010 01:39 myopia wrote: I've never seen a Poppy do well. I'm never thrilled to see one on my team, nor do I ever feel threatened laning against her. her early laning usually isn't great. she has some good burst and stun if she can ram into a wall but it's hard to make that happen against people purposely defending against it. once she hits 6 though she gets much stronger. hit 6, go shop, pick up a buff maybe, then go tower dive someone. also i think there are a lot of bad poppies and a lot of poppies who think they're good because their opponents dont know how to play against poppy | ||

Vlad isn't really that OP or anything, but I totally disagree with the champion concept. Heals in general are fairly broken in LoL early game because of the mana concept. If you take the DotA alternative, heroes like Enchant or Necro exhaust their mana in 2 heals, where in LoL, you can spam it indefinitely. The "Solo" metagame has gone from stuff like zoning X vs Annie to avoid a death spike to things like "Kat Spam! Nid Heal Spam! Spear Spam! Transfusion Spam!" which pretty much throws the skill ceiling out the window. Oh, and can someone explain to me why there are so many invulnerability spells in this game? I never understood the Zhonyas invulnerability. not sure I fully agree... more skill usage early gives players more variance in how they choose to play. I don't really like the direction vlad takes solo play, but the Kat/Nid/Panth/Annie glory days were very interesting IMO. there was a lot of ability usage, but that just meant there was a lot of variety in the play and plenty of decisions to make which led to a very skill intensive and exciting 1v1 early game. what I hate about vlad is just the never ending healing. he's just going to grind you down and with the range on it and no cost to limit it, there's pretty much nothing anyone can do to stop it.

But Kassadin is kinda also victim to the "spam Q and win" disease. Though I don't think he's anyways near as ezwin as most other spam heroes.

Incidentally this is kinda what I mentioned on Skype isn't it :p I feel like when you hit top X you automatically need to have confidence in yourself, even an inflated egotistical one, because you need to be able to carry through bad teammates and you have to be able to win every matchup and you have to be able to trudge through almost-unavoidable losses >_< | ||

I barely solo anymore, lol, and when I do, it's garen solo top which is T_T vs. vlad's stupid tricksies. I only play the most retarded laning hero in the game so I dunno, I definitely think it's annoying how much heal/spam he has, though, so I can see him demolishing most ranged DPS etc. His hero design is just stupid, sigh. I dunno what's with Riot and these self-replenishing heroes. Garen's passive is annoying enough, why're they giving so many heroes base staying power? | ||

His survivability is so good >.< but yea I know I was only joking really, I just cant harass him effectively whenever I lane against him and he can tower dive so early its annoying. >.> | ||

![[image loading]](http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1609/44538628.jpg) God i hate when such games happen - i stole golem from shaco, ganked every lane, when i got lvl 7 they all had 0/1 except for 4/1 ez (he got lane vs janna/shaco and killed shaco 3 times by then lol -.-) and of course we lose TT We need "LoL whining thread" | ||

Just as a tank there are better champs, and as far as damage is concerned, there are far better champs. I'll often rack up kills and towers early/mid game as Morde, only to find myself becoming useless late game. Damn can he farm though. <3 | ||

I get early double-kills with him fairly often. He's amazingly durable midgame and still very powerful by the start of late game.

I'll often rack up kills and towers early/mid game as Morde, only to find myself becoming useless late game. Damn can he farm though. <3 Late game Mord's ult actually becomes pretty amazing. Takes out 1/3 of my health despite FoN. Everything else about him falls off, though - unless he gets their fed DPS carry as a pet. Also, re: poppy, you need a team that can handle basically a 4v4 situation or at least survive until you've flattened the enemy carry. | ||
