to be in the middle of fights to do all the damage to have a team that can keep people near his dead body while he continues to destroy things don't pick karthus if: your team has little cc and/or no AoE cc; your team already has a good cleanup character; your team has a source of sustained magic damage ofc, this is just imoimoimo | ||

How do people feel about boots +3 vs all other boots on ranged carries? I imagine that this has been talked to death before so let me make it a slightly more specific question. When I play Ashe I tend to get either berserker or mercury depending on the team composition. As summoner spells I always take flash and teleport. Am I flat out wrong in my mentality that boots+3 are only worth getting when I need them to dodge hard to dodge skill shots? | ||

We also got like 3 free dragons because they kept sending bot/mid-lane top to get you for no real reason. That was a very silly game all around. | ||

I have been playing Eve for the last few days (or weeks?), and I for sure feel like I have a global passive taunt on her. | ||

But that's mostly because I spam Volley with Ghostblade+Brutalizer and also run Ghost+Cleanse. Zerkers and Mercs just aren't very useful for that, and the increased movespeed helps with kiting, escaping, and getting into positions where you can hit more enemies with Volley. after all, you don't need real boots when you're just running around uselessly \o/ | ||

She's just a big neon glowing sign with the words 'ATTACK ME, MOTHERFUCKERS!' on it. Boots of mobility on her btw. I loves me some gank. | ||

I never used to pick Panth with the intention to jungle back when he was a playable champion, but sometimes I'd have to audible into jungling and the point is that it's not the end of the world. in other news, I actually got to play a Pantheon game last night and Malphite was our jungler, lol. We won very easily. yeah i've been doing a lot of thinking and regardless of malphite's jungling ability (as well as pantheon and other lane dominators) i'd rather have 2 duo lanes than waste malphite's laning ability. last night i had a game where i took malph second pick and alt-tabbed and when i came back to the game it had started and we had no jungler so instead of jungling i just duo laned with teemo. we held ashe to 3 levels below us at all times and she maxed out at 4 cs. when their jungler came to gank we got a double kill, because what is a level 2 ashe going to do to a level 5 malphite?? she jumped out to help rammus and we insta gibbed her and then just turned on rammus and stole his buffs. seriously, having a junger is overrated*** ***edit having a jungler is overrated when you can just take 5 dominant laners instead | ||

The only reasons why he didn't see play for a long time are because there were like 6 months when no one took physical DPS and because his ult was bugged and had shit duration (compared to the alternatives). | ||

To be fair, he did get a buff which decreased mana cost (and I think cooldown) on his Q. I'd always ranked malph as a "good, not great" laner, so when they did that I knew he'd be a terror in lane. The fact that DPS is now a thing again just makes him a terror late-game, too. | ||
