wat? Im always on D=

Also the patch notes will probably be posted by udyr tonight or tomorrow night with the patch the following day.

Also week 11 free champions:

Ashe Ranged DPS
Blitzcrank Tank
Kassadin Melee DPS
Sion Tank
Soraka Support
Veigar Mage
Zilean Support
Nidalee Melee DPS
Vladimir Mage
Miss Fortune Ranged DPS

Anyone find it hilarious that the "melee dps" for this week are Nidalee and Kassadin?

Oh come on. Free Ashe is annoying when I want to play Ashe. And free MF is even more annoying.

Also damn losing streak. One game I had my fair share at feeding the enemy (though, honestly, forced on a lane with a autoattacking and facechecking Zilean? Died to an inevitable gank which totally threw me off. We were catching up though after the bad start.). And then there are those games where I outfarm MF in mid, go 10-4-14, and still lose...

Is it just me, or is Zilean free a LOT? This makes the 5th time in 11 weeks lol

Ashe is free every other week as well, apparently for the people who can't scrounge up 450 IP if they want to play as her.

What tanks would you gentlemen recommend? I play mostly solo queue atm. I'm level 19, and I find one of the biggest issues I have in games is people refusing to play tanks. After just going 17-2 with Kog and losing because my entire team was squishy DPS with no tanks or support, I've decided it's time to take things into my own hands and learn to play a tank.

Who are the premiere tanks these days? I own Amumu, Mordekaiser and Nasus. Who else shold I consider?

Rammus is pretty good too, but with Mordekaiser and Amumu you're pretty much set.

Rammus, Galio, Shen, Udyr, Warwick, Captain Falcon, Garen, Xin Zhao, Singed, Nunu.

I think Galio is the biggest sleeper out there right now. No one seems to play him, but he's pretty effin' bonkers.

Galio is just stupid lategame, when he's farmed 6 items. He's completely unkillable, and his ult will wipe your team if you even think about engaging.

4 man premade with TLians, feed off an MF in mid thanks to awesome ganks (even though we had no jungler, I think Shen wanted to but didn't get smite in time?) and stupid pushing by MF. Shen went for a ridiculous 15-0, I managed to scrap about 8 more kills just before the game was over and ended up at 11-1.

SOOOOO much easier with people who aren't braindead. Love you, TL <3

Somehow my items marked me as a newb Ashe (according to the enemy Nidalee). And I didn't even get a Philo this game. I started with DShield!

yeah, for some reason he's one of the new champs that no one thinks is OP, which is strange, cause i think past level 16 he's the strongest of the latest batch of champs...

i wish i took screenshots of all the games i dominated with solo mid galio. nothing more hilarious then your CS being 150 in mid compared to the MF you are facing 60 LOL you literally cant miss a creep with galio.

For anyone looking to play galio these are my recommendations, not requirements

0-9-21 masteries(strength of spirit) teleport/flash masteries

Spells: Teleport/flash

Position: Solomid (solotop kinda sucks since you push pretty hard)

max E first, get 2 points in Q before switching to maxing W

gust creep wave, Q ranged creeps, last hit melees. with practice you should get all 6

Runes Hp quints/magic pen reds/flat armor yellows/Mr per level glyphs

use teleport for ganks, not for returning to lane. No one can escape you when your running down your wind tunnel, so if you see a fight break out. teleport behind the action and use your speed + flash to turn the fight around as they try to run

Flash is your bread and butter, try to wait to teamfight until its up. Flash + ult is devastating and unavoidable.

Bulwark yourself if you are about to ult; otherwise bulwark your carry.

Use E backwards to run away, forward to do damage and chase

counters magic heavy teams nicely due to passive, and physical teams due to his ult. pretty good against everything as long as you can solo

happy galioing

Why does everyone say MR/Level instead of MR?
Why does everyone say flat armor instead of armor/level?
Just curious.

Because some per level runes catch up to flat runes faster than others

(ex. mp5 per level seals beat the flat mp5 runes at like level 5, but the cooldown reduction glyphs dont pass the flats until about 13)
