Has anyone played Twitch? I'm pretty newb but I have accumulated 6800 IP and am looking for a dpsy non-tank hero. All the games I've played with a Twitch, the Twitch completely sucks. But, I am looking for that type of hero. Any suggestions?
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/championsclick on the filters and spend a few hours reading up on the champs of this game.
Riot labels classically are shit (Heimer support anyone?). They appear to have gotten better as some of the more ridiculous ones are gone (I haven't checked them all though). Additionally, the descriptions don't really tell you anything about whether a hero is realistically viable in play currently. Good example is how the op likes Twitch but realizes that he is a terrible hero.

what the actual fuck
Hardcore AP-counter.
40% CD means E has a 6sec CD and 2.5 sec silence. You can just brush off any harass with the W and your base defense stats are actually really good because you have both a passive MR increase and big chunk of armor on the heal.
I think the 30 range increase on her Q, better scaling and mr shred probably means she can shit over a lot of champions and hardcore deny people. If played properly she never has to back until she wants to either. Her skills provide infinite mana and HP.
People too eager to make her trash whilst she is up and coming into the mid like a bawz.

apply skill to twitch = viable in solo queue

The big problem is, thanks to the increased CD on heal and the removal of double mana increase on E, you don't get infinite HP or infinite mana, even alone. Sure, E is an outstanding spell for harass, but its damage is relatively low and Soraka is especially bad at farming without Starcall. If you choose to get Starcall over heal, then you get more damage (actually a half-decent amount) but remain fragile.
imo mid Soraka is 100% outclassed by Vlad, who gets his main harass and sustain on the same skill.

Suddenly seems Mid soraka has become an overnight thing to try and it takes people off guard.
Imagine a self sustaining AP nuker with a silence, mad harass to any AP mid that don't have a heal themselves (lol which one has?). Maybe not going to be Oriana's power level late game, but I think a lot of brands and annies etc are gonna be in for some weird games being zoned out by a soraka mid :D

Lategame you just transition into the support role she always had.
Early game you completly ruin the enemy AP by simply denying him all day long. No exchange is going to be fair because you can just silence and smack them whilst you heal up the damage.
It's not about wich AP is a better contribution to the team when you simply crush the enemy AP on the lane and deny him any gold. A 200CS Soraka deals more damage then a 0 CS Annie.

I'm no expert but pretty sure brand would get free spells on soraka if she would try to Q or silence him.

Is it just me or is the patch huge?...

Its huge, it contains files that will be used for Dominion. You can see the new shop items when you play already. Some of them look great.

LOL Soloraka is the most hilarious thing ever. Deathfire grasp for super fun times.
Still salty about Plat. Not sure if I should troll 300 elo or not.

hey moonbear i have a bug to report
warwick seems to have 7 skins and teemo has twice that many but trundle doesn't have any skins yet

Didn't catch it, I just opened to patch and just looked at the loading bar. Sorry, I guess I don't have the skill.
But thank you for your link

So curiously the only bug with shaders is on low; anything else (off to very high) works fine.

Are people actually able to farm this much with Soraka? I've played quite a few games on her and I still probably only get 60% of the minions when my AD leaves bot.
Actually, I probably do a bit better than that until a carriage wave comes out. Once that happens I find it pretty much impossible to hit things before they die.

When exactly is the next scheduled downtime? Is that a week or two weeks?

usually it's 2 weeks. but hopefully 1 or something >_> i just got gold (thanks to the new lowered standards for elo :D) and am hoping to save myself from the stress of playing another ranked match lol.

Is it just me or has Urgot always been this strong? I've been shitting on people for 10 straight games today with him...he just does so much damage in the early-mid game...ridiculous.
