Tiamat Twitch + fight around enemy minions is so cash.

Yah malady/bloodrazor/tiamat actually.

Doesn't synergize at all... Tiamat deals physical splash and ignores the BR/Malady procs for the damage calculation. For that money you could get 4 Tiamats total and hit for 300 + 600 per splash proc (and Twitch gets tons of splash procs).

(if you troll, do it properly)

T__T Okay, fine. BUT I really think that Bloodrazor/Malady is strong on Twitch, Malady also makes your singletarget ganks insane because of Expunge.

In that case I would just go tanky after BR/Malady. Maybe Wit's End, that's the only offensive item I can think of that goes well with it. Survivability should be better for killing tanks than just more offense anyways.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

So, relying on rat's own attack speed boost is kind of bad? I never saw any use for Malady, but BR into Malady I can understand. Been running arpen red / armor yellow / mana reg blue / hp quint mostly in hopes of some laning power. Bead+3/3 pots or Cloth+5pot openings, to compensate for the hits you inevitably take due to his inferior range.

It's always funny to have a sneaky rat on your team, who thinks he can go godmode, and proceeds to initiate by sneaking behind a few enemies to "ambush" them. OMFG team, y u no help keep me alive?! Plus points if done to a Janna near her tower while she has her ult up.

Edit: I seem to be at about the same spot for normal elo as Stealthpenguin. My jungle Nunu lock has caused consecutive dodges, because apparently "playing with a jungler is the worst shit".

This actually ties into something that has me a bit worried. That is Morello's (or was it Zileas') talk about wanting to make no jungler setup a "more viable choice". It's kinda annoying to play 1v2 already, and I really don't see how both options could co-exist as equally viable choices...
So zen.

my thoughts on the rat

(disclaimer, this info may be verryyy old, i havnt played rat since they changed his ult, so be aware)

21-0-9, or 21-9-0, if its looking like a really bad lane
cleanse/flash, pretty much 0 exceptions, my reasoning is that if you cant escape with invis, you aren't going to escape with ghost, so its a useless summoner, cleanse and flash are otherwise pretty self explanitory

runes: apen red, aspeed yellow, mres blue, 1 apen and 2 aspeed quints

skill build: q or e first, then whichever you didnt get, then w, then r > e > w > q, if you're having problems with managing invis cd, get another lvl in it earlier on.

item build, stack a few dorans and avarice blades then go for the endgame ie/lw/pdancer combo, crit is really fucking strong on twitch, so ideally, you want 1 dblade and 2 avarice's, but if you're not farming/playing ideally, i'd go up to 3 dblades and 1 avarice.

with the exception of ganking, i use invis almost purely defensively in the lane, its really slick for getting you out of really shitty spots if you're good at timing it. just got to be aware of pink wards and oracles, ofc. in terms of harassment, usually just poking at them with autoattacks and the occasional e is good enough, you just want them to be wary of you so that its easier to farm up.

^ Imo that build is quite poor without the ulti speed bonus and I think rushing malady lets you gank about a million times better, which is super good on Twitch. Doran stacking is a good idea though because of how ulti works with lifesteal.

idk, his lack of attackspeed is somewhat made up with by the fact that he can shoot like 4 ppl at the same time

How are the dodge runes, compared to armor runes?


Dodge Runes are:

- More erratic, with a smaller amount of guaranteed damage reduction in exchange for a much higher potential amount of damage reduction
- Slightly stronger against minions in most cases because their attacks are weak but plentiful. Significantly stronger on champions with innate dodge potential (Jax, Nidalee, Sivir, etc.)
- Useless against physical abilities that aren't autoattack-based (Tower shots, Volley, Spear Shot, etc.)
- Allow a spec with Nimbleness to proc more reliably, which can save you.

Armor Runes are:

- More static, with a large amount of guaranteed reduction, but no potential to be worth more.
- Slightly weaker against minions in most cases, but potentially stronger on a champion whose other abilities allow them to reach a new damage threshold (Taric, Garen, Jarvan) or who have exceptionally high base level 1-5 armor (Cho, Shen, Singed, Poppy)
- Affect tower shots and other physical / undodgable abilities.
- Do not scale with Nimbleness.

The difference between Armor and Dodge is usually pretty small unless you're playing champions which greatly favor one or the other. If that is the case, and you're a player who plays dodge-favoring champions frequently, Dodge is probably worth the investment, but they're often times just slightly different Armor runes that cost 600 more IP each in exchange for giving you the ability to potentially blow someone out with 2 dodges at 20 hp.

If you're really serious about the largest possible lane advantage, speccing past 9 points in Defense to pick up Defensive Mastery and at least 1 point in Hardened Skin will give you more of an EH advantage in lane, anyways.

News and shit from pax:

Expect base stats nerfs on anyone with a tank moniker, combined with harsher nerfs depending on the character. For example, the respawn on malphs shield is increasing from 8-12 or something similar.

Magma chamber is at least playable internally, as Watford stated he had a lot of fun playing it.

Rammus apparently had 2 sound incarnations prior to his current setup: Watford said he was skippy and bouncy and altogether the worst thing ever concieved, so they destroyed all evidence of both.

When talking to pendragon, I had a slight debate with him about replay, and at the end I asked him if Riot was going to make space on their site for replay uploads. His reply: "We won't need to"

Nocturne was playable, and I believe in the state he will be shipped in on Tuesday. He is Yi version 2.awesome. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to mess with him long, but what I did see I liked a lot. His fear is stupid easy to trigger, his q has a really long range, and his ulti is going to rip solo q apart. According to phreak he can jungle really well as well, so IMO he will rip solo q apart. I did not get a chance to test how his ulti interacts with bv or wards, however.

His 2 release skins are void and frosted, and both look AWESOME.

I will post more if I can remember anything else as the night wears on.

That means shen (awesome he's a pain in my ass in duo lane at even lvl 1), and I think that would also include bruisers (which would mean another udyr nerf :/ )?

Maybe you can share replays via client?

I really can't grind enough games to get Nocturne any kind of fast, and he looks super awesome... That ult seems to have good potential for making the official LoL forums explode.
Might have to resort to buying a bundle or something, and I just finished getting my RP to a flat zero. Some small, useless amount of points just hovering on my account stats annoys the shit out of me for some reason. T__T

Thanks for the Twitch tippage/discuss, btw. Will try to take heed, and try some stuff in my games.
So zen.

the old schoola.

Also, did you ask anything about obs mode? I'm assuming they're almost done with that due to their ghetto one in esl/wcg.

Hey, is the Morello/Deathfire dual combo viable on any caster? instant 40% cdr and infinite mana seems really sweet.

I didnt ask about observer mode cuz pendragon was about to rip my head off after I talked to him about replays.

We were arguing over the fan system. I said that if riot had released it, but noted that it was an imperfect version, just meant to be a stopgap until the real replay system had been ready, they would have been applauded.

He thought that they woulda been killed because it was so buggy.

My thought was simply that something was better than nothing and that as long as they made it clear it wasnt the finished project, it woulda been fine.


BTW: Im in a couple pax east pics! Kid in the brown BC hoody, after the riot codemaster pics. Only see a bit of my face and my chest in the 2 pics thou.
