Why pick Malph/Shen solo top when you can just have Jarman/Irelia there who win a shitload of lanes and tank almost as good (sometimes better) when farmed well while doing absurded high amounts of damage? Similar for jungle, why grab Amumu when Nunu or Nocturne can get you ahead in the early game? Not sure if that's his reasoning, but that's how I'd interprete it. | ||

Jungle Cho/Akali, Janna/Orianna + Jarvan/Xin bot lanes or even simple laneswitches. I once was Xin solo top vs Irelia and we had Swain mid vs Ryze. I dared to ask for a switch cause I saw our Swain ran armor but no mres runes and cause I'm sure I can beat the crap out of Ryze while he can roflstomp Irelia. OMG STFU AP MID I NEED MID OMG WHY U EVEN ASKING. Some dual Q calls veigar/soraka bot, I say, np, I'll Corki mid. OMFG VEIGAR MID CORK WITH SORAKA FFS DONT BE FUCKING NEWB AD WITH SUPPORT BOT YOU FKING NEWB. qq.  | ||

The problem is if people don't know you then they probably won't want to join games if you ask, best way is if somebody asks for "+2" or something to ask for an invite, but there isn't always normals going on I'll typically only play ranked unless someone I know invites me. | ||

Yeah, you often see a tanky dps (Irel, Jarman) picked instead of a tank. Teams are running four squishes + one tanky char instead of 1 squishy + 4 tanky chars. This is probably why players like wale are able to dominate with akali again. | ||

Whenever someone talks about tanks in LoL, ignore him. There is no point in having a champ build defense and protect allies in LoL. Aside from Janna, but nobody considers her a tank. tanky anti carries melee initiators supports tanky DPS | ||

Not that they wouldn't do that anyway, but if there's a rammus/cho/malph/alistar/amumu/nunu etc. jungling, they don't feel as bad when they pick 3 AP solos and a carry. | ||

1. How do you stop channeling spells like Galio/Nunu's ulti? Do silence/stuns/knockups all work? 2. When said channeling spells are stopped, do their effects still go off? So will Nunu/Galio ulti still shoot off an aoe nuke after I silence them or is it just completely cancelled? 3. How many creep kills per minute should I be aiming for? Assuming I'm middle or hard carry or something, or does it depend heavily on the game? 4. I'm red-green colorblind so I can't tell the difference between the opposing health bars ( ), is there any way to change them?5. Is there any way to change the hotkeys? | ||

Yes all those cancel it, both chars usually build a banshees veil to negate 1 of those spells and increase the chances of getting a full ulti off. 2. They go off with reduced damage output. Full channel does significant more damage for nunu, not sure about galio, never played him. 3. Around 100 creep score by 12 minutes is really solid in most games that aren't a pure afk farmfests Edit: this is for solo lane carries usually, some chars have trouble getting farm via creeps ex Leblanc/Poppy. 4. I'm pretty sure there are some mods for color blind people, go look around the LoL forums. 5. Esc ---> Keybinds option(in game), everything from smartcast to summoner spells and item slots etc etc reading comprehension fail on #1 lol gonna erase that b4 anyone quotes | ||

Is there any way to change the hotkeys? 1: Silence, Stun, Knock ups all works yes 2: depends on the champion. Nunu does reduced damage while karthus does none. 3: Don't aim for any, just make sure you are always the one with the most in your game that's all you need. (unless you are ofcourse playing heroes that doesn't need the farm) 4: Do not know. 5: Keybindings in menu. | ||

I believe all those work, but spells that only move them won't (Alistar's Headbutt for instance). Taunts and suppression effects (stun + can't use summoner spells + duration not affected by Tenacity) will always work too. 2. Some channeled spells have over-time effects as they channel (Katarina's Death Lotus, Fiddlestick's Drain, Janna's ult's heal), but a few others have the entire effect at the end (Fiddlestick's ult, Nunu's ult, Galio's ult). Of this latter kind, Nunu's ult has a partial effect (rather than none) if you or an enemy interrupts the channel before it's complete; Galio's ult will deal full damage regardless of whether it channels for the full duration or just a fraction of a second; and Fiddle's ult will do nothing if you don't channel it completely. 3. If you're on "free-farm" mode (no one's preventing you from farming), 10-12 minions per minute. Otherwise, you may well get less than that because you're too low and are forced to go back to base & heal, or you have to skip a last hit or two to prevent getting harassed too hard, etc. 4. Don't know. 5. Don't just change the hotkeys, explore smartcasting. I currently have Q as smartcastspell1, W as smartcastspell2, etc. and Shift+Q as castspell1, Shift+W as castspell2, etc. For some retarded reason you can't set Shift+Q etc. as hotkeys for standard casting of spells in-game, so you need to mess around with all those hotkeys first (change them to anything), this will create an Input file that you can then edit to your heart's content at: C:/Riot Games/League of Legends/RADS/solutions/lol_game_client_sln/releases/0.0.0.55/deploy/DATA/CFG EDIT: Changed my #2 answer after discussions and testing on Galio's ult. | ||
