You can trade a few kills for drag. Never anything more than that, although if it is a full 5 man I am generally willing to trade top tower, since first top tower is generally the most meaningless.

Its not like I can look at people I play with and learn from them, right? ^_^

I'm quite sure that I'm worse than I say by the standards of people on here, but I'm trying to take in as much knowledge as I can. Pro streams I don't find very useful since most of them don't comment on their play as much as starcraft players do.

Do you guys play much in liquidparty, or not? Every time I go in there people generally idle, but I'd love to get a game or two in with people here to tell me how shitty I am. ^_^

After 25 minutes dragon isn't even worth considering unless you have nothing else to push and are too low for baron. (Even then you probably should consider healing.)

On a related note soloing Dragon is a free 190 gold around this time as well if both teams are not really doing anything exciting

I'm the same when I play with lower level friends. I still actually haven't been able to get them to understand the importance of only last hitting. Their only argument: "but if I autoattack constantly I'll get more hits than trying to time it properly". I've given up trying to get them to understand.

I'll post a replay here if I ever get away from work today. TL keeping me sane. ^_^

What's the purpose of last hitting apart getting gold and not pushing the lane ?

That's what I mean. They AA creeps constantly, get less cs than they would by just last hitting, push the lane like mad, and rage when they get ganked by a jungle.

It's not a big deal, at level 7 games there are few things done right.

But if I push lane I get more xp faster and I ding faster!

Orianna + janna combo is getting really annoying, especially because you can't really ignite shields so you always get full protection.

I favor pushing lane at level 1 to ding 2 faster and crush them :p

pushing lanes early is underrated. I try to explain this shit while I'm streaming, so I'll shamelessly plug that people should watch my stream so that they can learn LoL.

Its a bit old, so the rankings at the top are off. Other than that the general principle is good.

If whoever wants to put the rune guide together wants to message me I can pass along the Jungle rune guides for champs I have found work the best.

Agree. I love nothing better than forcing an enemy onto tower pre 4 because A) most junglers cant gank until about 4:30-5 minutes so you can deny easy last hits safely, B) having a ton of creeps on your side means that enemy harass is extremely dangerous since your minions can kill them and C) the enemy tower means that as soon as you let pressure up the lane will automatically swing back in your favor, opening the enemy up for ganks by your jungle.

Also very out of date. I think that guide predates even the ArPen rune nerf/AD rune buff.

With regard to pushing lane--if you can push the lane hard, it's probably the best way to stalemate against "strong" laners that you would otherwise lose to (e.g. Lanewick/Lanedyr), because they're slow at pushing it back. At low levels they can't hurt you too hard if you build up a creep advantage, they'll lose CS to tower, and you'll get an opening to bluepill and buy, letting you hopefully get an item advantage.

WHOA BRAH its an old guide (Last update Feb/2011) But it DOES have the ArPen nerf AND the AD buff.

HOWEVER your inability to check and incorrectness isn't the point :D

All of the information is still relevant and useful.

best thing about that rune guide is that flat AD quints haven't even been buffed and they're sitting in D tier while everyone is using them. Note that Locicero has actually been doing this forever on Pantheon so everyone should dickride him for being like 8 months ahead of the meta.

EDIT: it's also pre-mana regen changes and is all out of whack with that and also lists AD Seals as the worst seal when, again, many carries are running them right now.

Meh at best. The ordering is off. Top runes are still top runes, but there are no longer any S class runes imo. Maybe mpen reds for casters. Other than that pretty much anything is acceptable if you have a reason for it.
