We shouldnt have more than 4 bans because there is 90 champs, i dont think this is a valid argument. I think the current bans are fine for solo queue where you're playing with randoms and the only real reason to ban stuff is to ban annoying shit you don't want to play against (the likelihood of picking a coherent team-comp/making effective counterpicks is virtually zero when everyone is just playing whatever the hell they want). But for arranged/tournament play, we need more bans/a second banning phase, because as it stands, people either don't have enough bans to ban strategically against their opponent, or it's pointless because they're blindly guessing at what bans are actually going to be disruptive to the enemy's strategy when nobody's picked anything yet. Bans should carry a strategic element in tournament play, but right now they have very little of that because removing stuff like Hotshot's Cho'gath or keeping Talon out of the champion pool take priority so there's not enough bans left to really ban strategically. | ||

Shaco and fiddle are strong but they are not OP maybe you dislike playing against them but they are not counterbale and have their streght and weakness Remember the good ol days were sona was shitting on everybody, when xin, udyr, gp, etc .. were so strong that they were banned ALL the times Riot just has to balance the game and we shouldnt need more than 4 bans edit : @ yango yeah for competitive play its different, 6 bans are good but 8 bans could offer some possibility (bans every support ??) | ||

Mid to lategame that 10 armour you get from yellows on a tank isn't gonna matter lol. I jungle both rammus and udyr with dodge instead of armour. | ||

Dodge is good on Udyr because he has natural dodge, and dodge is a self-synergistic stat. Armor is arguably better on Rammus because it's straight-up better than Dodge on him for the early game, which rune choice matters more for. It speeds your jungle up by scaling into your AD/DBC damage, while Dodge actually has the potential to slow you down because damage isn't reflected by DBC on dodged hits. | ||

The difference between armour and dodge on rammus is like really really small, I ran both and I just prefer dodge for outside the jungle. | ||

I think saving 4-5 seconds in your first jungle clear is more influential than the late-game difference between dodge and armor, but whatever. | ||

I use a full Armor page on Jungle Rammus. It speeds things up because wolves/wraiths just murder themselves on DBC (the small Wraiths will literally 100-0 themselves by the end of DBC), and it makes for hilarious counter-jungling potential against AD junglers. Nothing like Shaco trying to pounce on you at Red/Golems and just get destroyed because you have freaking 146 armor in DBC, auto for 100 damage and return 45 freaking damage every time he attacks you. | ||

we are talking specifically about the dodge - armor question on yellow, and the vast majority of time they use armor | ||

Magicpen is pretty useless on amumu, junglecreeps have no mres and the mpen does almost nothing for amumu mid-lategame. | ||

She wasn't one of the AD carries more comfortable in a solo lane (Corki/Miss Fortune; Sivir to an extent), but I see her very infrequently compared with Vayne/Caitlin/Kog'maw/Ezreal/Ashe/Graves. She'll pop up sporadically in tournaments (more popular in Europe, or is this an illusion created entirely by CandyPanda?), but rarely do anything breathtaking - I think IEM NY had a game where SK had her and Kass to brutally chase down stragglers after a dragon/blue fight, but that's all that springs to mind. She's got a decent lategame with her range and her steroid, but not on Kog's level - she's a bit more self-reliant safety-wise with her jump and her ult as an anti-dive. What's holding her back? Is it her AP ratios, the reward for being aggressive with her rocket jump not worth the risk with bruiser-heavy team fights, her healing debuff being devalued with the healing/sustain nerfs, or simply not matching the lustre of all the 6300 IP ranged ADs? Who does she lane well with/against, what comps does she synergise with, etc? | ||

Saintvicious always gets more arp than he needs because he needs it midgame etc etc, they don't rune purely for jungle. Dan Dinh actually runs dodge yellows on amumu but he uses armour reds aswell. On most junglers, I think the tradeoff between dodge and armor is about even. On Rammus (which is what my particular interjection was about, and what the discussion is related to) where armor translates into extra AD and DBC damage, and dodge translates into occasionally reduced DBC damage on dodge procs, I think the advantages of armor are more noticeable. Saint, Oddone, and Dan all use armor on their respective Rammus pages. On November 04 2011 05:58 Haasts wrote: How's Tristana doing at the moment?

She is a strong laner, and has some of the best late-game damage output in the game, but her kit doesn't translate as well into midgame fights, so unlike other AD carries that have abilities with powerful baseline damage that make them strong in fights even before their big AD items come out, Trist has a gap in power after early laning but before her BF item is finished. It doesn't make her unplayable but it does mean you have to plan around that gap when picking her. | ||
