TF's pretty good in Dominion too, since the range on Destiny basically hits all points from the jungle, and he can backdoor/stop caps like a pro. Other than that, he's a mediocre AD carry or a semi-mediocre AP carry.

I should add to what I said about support zil before. Before regi made ap mid zilean an actual good champion, if you wanted to play him it was bottom lane support. That's why I played support zil.

Real men played zil mid way before Regi played Zil mid. A lot of the "new"/popular stuff you see on high lvl streams really isn't all that new.

This.

Even in high elo play, Jiji played solo Zilean vs the old TL team as early as last December--back when people still thought Zilean was a shit champion even though his ulti lasted 20 seconds.

Hell, solo Zilean was even more compelling back then because Q cost less mana and hit harder, making him even more of a lane dominator, and R had a freaking 3.0 AP ratio.

I remember people Miding Zil when I 1st started, but they also did Kat mid too back then lol. Seems so weird now but I actually played vs a kat mid today as Karthus. Got Blue buff and the poor thing couldn't do crap.

Can someone explain peoples obsession with having a "tank"? I've been in games with 2 or 3 tanky characters picked and everyone yells at the last pick to play a full tank, even if we dont have a proper ranged ad/ap carry/support/jungler.

It's been well known lower elos tanks rule all.

However, either your team has forced initiation (arrow, barrel, etc, or even pressuring tower with karthus wall/ad wailing on it) or you need a tanky guy that threatens something so enemies are forced to deal with it.

or the enemies fight you for no reason at low ELO and get aced and you laugh your way to their nexus.

Having a tank is just always useful where as lot of times having too much ap or ad just makes your team easily countered. Tanks are also useful because they soak up as much dmg/cc as possible allowing your dps/ap players to output more dmg without dying.

Yeah but... I've had a team with Xin, Garen, and Wukong and people were bitching that we needed to have a tank. Its not rational, its some kind of weird obsession.

I asked a friend what he thought and he said that maybe its because in WoW the "tank" role is waaaaay more important, and having a dedicated tank character is needed. I've never played WoW so I wouldn't know.

It's because as the tank, you rush in and die because their whole team blows all their spells on you, then the rest of your team cleans up during the CDs. This only works at low levels. It could probably work on any character with decent base defense.

I recall getting destroyed by tank tristana in a TL inhouse before. You can beat baddies with anything.

I had the same issue, turned out my CPU was overheating. Try cleaning out you heat sinks and fans.

This is why WoW needs to die. A game I refuse to play ruining a game I do! It must die in fire! >:D

I played TF on Dominion last night. It was pretty funny I was on purple team and decided to ninja Top left. They came to stop me so I gated....about 5 inches farther left into the fog of war. they left to D top and I walked back out of the fog and stole it

IP seems to be affected by score points too, gogo collect them healthpacks for more IP.
Also just realized I haven't seen a single TF since shortly after the global nerf.

I have a 64 IP game that I scored 1090 points and a 71 IP game that I got 1840 points....doesn't seem like a heavy correlation

WW should be every new players first purchase and first jungle champ. Hell, riot should give away ww for free. The amount of knowledge that you pick up by learning how to jungle makes you an infinitely better player. Oh and go ww simply because his jungle style is a lot more convertible to other jungles.
