Hey can anyone recommend strategy for tanking in general? I'm only level 22 and feel like when i tank and we lose it's because i'm not thinking about macro, and as the tank most people just follow me around in the mid to late game. So far i've got:
If bad guys are bunched up in a lane, defend there
If bad guys are all mia or if a couple of my people are dead, push back lanes and then jungle
If bad guys are spread out push mid, or side if its weaker
Am i missing something? this seems like the kind of thing that goes over a lot of peoples heads as they just ascribe an enemy's victory to whoever got the most kills.

Curse those Level 1 Mundos doing Baron alone 42 minutes into the game. Outrageous.

If you have to reinstall from this patch (like me) here's my post on changing the chinese skins back to being ... chinese.

I wish the sc2 forum was more organized like the LoL forum very few new threads created things like having only one patch notes thread vs a new thread every time there is an update is just more organized, shame a system like this is used on a part of the sub forum that isn't as visible as the rest of the sub forums.

SC2 forum has a LOT more users and people love to make threads and post in them. The patch note threads in SC2 get a tonne of replies, if there was just one thread it would get so big so quickly, it's bad enough already with one thread per patch.

Just to make sure you're all aware of the new Leaver/Ban system.

You can deal ridiculous amounts of damage to the dude you're laning against with the right voidling timing. Get one summoned, wait 7 seconds, then E the dude. The passive buff made doing this all the easier. You betta run son, voidlings gonna come

He's a special guy.

Probably top 2 Ezreal is the game (on par or a little below Chauster). That might not mean much now but 6-7 patches ago when Ez was a beast, Xpecial was frightening.
He specializes in carries, DPS and AP.

Someone tell me they're watching CL gaming they're fucking around and apparently tryndamere's E scales amazingly with AP he's dropping people down to 20-30% with just one spin it's pretty hilarious. Other team surrendered after they finally killed him 21/5 deathfire mejai sorc boots lichbane zhonya lulz
