I had a game like that with Karthus (lol) on my smurf. They'd go balls out and 5 man all in towerdive me, instakill me, get caught by mumu ult + morg ult in the tower, eat my sustained deeps while I'm dead and get aced for 1 every time, lol. it's so fun baiting teams with Karthus, you do so much damage that they kinda need to kill you, but by doing so, they don't even stop your deeps.

Karthus wants:
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

And here I was thinking this whole time that all karthus wanted was a hug D:

On another note... 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?

I personally never buy boots 3, but they used to be really common amongst good ezreal players, so I dunno, they might be useful with ranged carries staring at 300 base MS now.

We won every single teamfight. It was just hilarious how desperate they were to try to gib me at all costs.

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 going Boots of Swiftness on Ashe for like forever. 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.


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.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

after all, you don't need real boots when you're just running around uselessly \o/

It's a little ridiculous isn't it? 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.

Tried Mobilities in a recent game where we were quite ahead already. I prefer Mercs. Doubles the amount of strong CC you can take. CC you WILL take.

What does his solo lane ability have to do with how good he is in jungle?

If your team wants a jungler and a tank, feel free to pick him up

it's like putting pantheon in the jungle
sure, they can do it, but they are so suited elsewhere that you're hurting yourself by putting malphite in the jungle where he CAN'T shut down the enemy carry more than you're helping by giving ~morde/nidalee/whatever~ a solo lane

if you see a malphite on your team and you need a jungler, don't tell him to jungle, just pick literally any other champ to jungle so he can solo

sometimes in solo queue no one wants to jungle and doesn't let you know until it's their turn to pick and you're sitting with 2 solo laners, 2 side laners and they insta-lock Morde or some shit. 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***

If you have five dominant laners, sure... if your other lanes are actually fair matchups though, you may win top but you could easily lose everywhere else because their jungler has free reign over the buffs, dragon, never has to walk far to farm, etc. So that's a super-niche case, and other than that it really doesn't matter whether a good jungler is also a good lane hero.

Malph has one of the fastest and strongest jungles in the game. "Waste" my ass.

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).

ya this^

nobody discovered malphite's laning or w/e they just fixed his ult finally. that and people started playing dps again. this is why you cant just buff characters like nidalee or pantheon(lol) or whatever on a whim because their time to shine will probably come eventually.

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.
