MOBA is a bad acronym because it isn't catchy and can easily be mistaken for something other than an acronym when used in casual conversation. Terms like RPG, RTS, and FPS work well because it's obvious that they're acronyms, and they're all short enough (both in word count and syllables) to be easy to remember (even if the expanded acronym arguably doesn't properly describe the genre).

That's why Gabe Newell's "Action RTS" term is probably better.


Wouldn't RTS - micro battle be more appropriate?

I'd like to know who designs the character backgrounds for LoL champs. Some of these characters look like they've been designed by a focus group attempting to target every nerd in existence.

Take Ezreal, for example, he's basically some combination of a Final Fantasy and DBZ character. His backdrop is a "boy who goes exploring", this is every anime-thing ever rolled into one champ.

Tristana is even scarier. Her backstory is literally the backstory one of my friends in college had for her LARP group (replace gunner with archer and megling with half-elf and you're there). They even got the lesbian part right.


Yeah and who doesnt like boobs? ^^

Tristana is a lesbian? o.O


Read the backstory part with Teemo. This eerily resembles people I know from college.

E: Surprise party fiddle is the best skin. So many people buying it only to then immediately go 1/10 with fiddle every game.


But Teemo's a dude.


And not in any way in a relationship with Tristana in the current backstory. Their relationship was retconned out of existence according to a poster earlier in the thread (have no idea if this is true).


Although them being in a relationship is speculated about in Teemo's current backstory. I was more confused where you were getting the lesbian part from.


Apparently he knew girls with short hair and small breasts who like to shoot stuff from college. =P


You forgot the blue skin, being about 4 ft tall, and making sexual jokes about rockets in your pocket

What about using some kind of lichbanes Shen build? Something along the lines of Rylai's, Lichbanes, Aybssal, Zhonya's, Deathcap, Mercs. I could see RoA or Deathfires Grasp working, but buying two mana gems or mana gem and a Meki being too much of a waste.

What are your thoughts on Lichbanes Shen?

I'd rather shoot myself in the face than build AP items on Shen.

ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously, Shen with AP sucks massive donkey dick.

Yeah, I think I've seen Locicero go legendary with an AP Shen top build, the almost free harass is pretty sickening, throw in a free teleport w/ life saving shield, a wall hop taunt, and another shield, and it's a pretty mean kit. The only problem is that AP scaling sucks unless you're an actual AP Carry.

K I know Im a page behind on the whole Mallet vs Warmogs thing, but here is my 2 cents:

On characters where each makes sense, I tend to look at WHEN I am going to need the damage. Atmogs is great, but you do have a HUGE lul in power before atmogs is complete, whereas FM gives you the opportunity to buff up on damage a little bit as you go.

Also consider the enemy team and your team.
Do you really need Mallet to chase down and kill dudes? If you're perpetually the last man standing and your job is to hunt down their akali or mundo or yi or w/e who survives every teamfight with 300 hp, will mallet help you chase them down with no mercy?
Alternately, do you need the extra mogs regen to keep up with enemy poking? Do you need the additional 600 health buffer? Can your team afford to let you farm up all your mogs stacks?

(the answer is always Warmogs? How about MOREmogs!!!)

I played a ranked 5s a while ago with 5hit where one guy on our team went AP Shen and botlane was Kog Soraka, so when teamfights rolled around Kog got like 1500 HP + 125 armor.

Don't hate yo.

Frankly I don't think frozen mallet is really there to help chase people down like that. If teamfights were really going that way then you probably should be the carrier of red buff instead of your AD carry. Not to mention that being the last one standing is significantly harder because you paid a lot of gold for a slow that will, regardless of how effective the actual cc is, make you a weaker combatant because you could be getting more raw stats if you built other stuff.

I don't think frozen mallet is much better than a phage in terms of the proc. Most bruisers that would use frozen mallet has at least some cc to keep a target locked down for a couple of attacks and frankly who really cares about the slow until you're already losing the teamfight and are trying to run away =/

not trolling, frozen mallet has always been bad and warmog's was cool when I was building atmog's sivir before anyone knew about it, but now warmog's not hipster enough. also sucks.max cd/triforce is the new cool build on bruisers, fuck atmog's.

Atmog's is more niche now IMO. People have learned how to better abuse the lull in midgame power on it.

His original range was shorter, and we had higher base stats during that time to compensate. When we increased his range, we didn't change the stats back over.

We'll probably hit a couple of these overall - will discuss with the team. ( Morello about Graves )


In case people didn't see it.
Most champion get this kind of " let's nerf all their number juste before release, then buff them to balance next patch. "
Look like they forgot to do it on Graves.

Yeah how could they forget they gave a ranged ad the burst of annie when he hits level 6, with a short range blink, and bruiser stats. The amount of fucked up graves is is way beyond a few base stats being high.

I'll even edit in the numbers, annie q 165, w 130, r 200 (not including ap ratios, q3w2r1)
graves q 150, w 60 (I'm counting 1 skill in his e otherwise it would be 110), r 250. Because graves gets + physical damage instead of ap, you get even more damage on top of those from a lvl 6 champion.
