CDR Boots and Shurelia's easy 40%.

I also don't see what's so hard to execute about the combo. Sure, getting it to extend out to the full 12.7 theoretical seconds is impossible for a human being, but you could easily make 11-12 seconds without gaps between silences/roots.

Here I was thinking the first criticism was going to be "This is worthless because who the hell won't just buy tenacity?"

Laning as vayne-soraka.

Me: "please stop attacking the creeps"
"you're pushing the lane"
Soraka: "but I need gold for items"
"and you're getting all the creeps"

Combo isn't particularly hard to do, since you're using it strictly to defend your carry from assassins; seems like a legit way to shut down someone like Akali completely for a very long time.

Support leblanc is, if nothing else, pretty ridiculous as a support for aggressive laners.

Hopefully they have some more Halloween runes. We need some Halloween dodge seals.

Stupid rune prices are just mind bogglingly bonkers high.

Even Dyrus cannot afford proper runes for every champ...

yeah it's a little ridiculous. A lot of the progression stuff is great when you're getting into the game but makes it so so much worse later.

- Masteries (because of the setup time. they fixed this with mastery pages, I think masteries are now all upside)
- Runes (it gets increasingly punishing to buy more runes because you can get supply capped on pages, turns it into an onerous ip sink)
- Summoners (straight up imbalanced)

Buying extra rune pages alone costs so goddamned high. Bloody 6300 IP for a page? Jesus.

As annoying as it is to pay like $20 for the runepage bundle it's pretty much the only reasonable way to get runepages.

I would be fine with summoners if they removed Flash and Exhaust. Those are the only two that feel really game breaking to me. Flash is just not fun and Exhaust is basically a, "you're stronger than me but now I win fight lololol."

Played my first o4lol yesterday with Smash and Brees at a lan center, had a really good time and learned a lot. It was nice meeting Smash who drove 2 hours to a non existent tourney because of my stupidity. Him and inept carried our team all the way to the quarterfinals where we lost to probably a weaker team than the ones we had beaten. Some highlights were an almost penta for inept's GP, catching the enemy Veigar strolling through mid in a 50min stalemate, my Ashe flashing over the wall into GP and Udyr to save Smash's Irelia who had GA. They were actually only the second and third TLers I had ever met in person in my near 7 years on this site. Hope to meet more of you and perhaps have a LoL lan again. Definitely the most fun I've had with the game yet.

I just pick Cait or Taric. Cait is pretty hard to mess up, all you gotta do is trap the bottom brush and farm for 15-19 minutes pending on the kills you get.

Taric is pretty much the same thing, except you just let someone else farm and press E on CD.
