If your [Stream] thread was moved to the general TL Stream subforum (aka SC stream land), find your thread and PM it to me and I'll move it back to LoL territory. I can argue with staff that moving a non-SC thread into a SC subforum is just asking for that thread to get buried.

I have admin approval. I'll be moving LoL streams back to the subforum. Stream name will be based on Summoner name.

Pretty much, you know it's bad when if you don't jungle you are not going to have smite on the team. Oh well tis the holiday weekend so can't be too upset about it. Think of it as a way to chuckle when every jungler you run into either doesn't take smite or is very scared of fighting. Or both.

Speaking of rp, I recently decided that the game was awesome so I should throw riot some cash and bought about 5k in riot points.

It's such a bad idea to have that much rp just sitting there, I want to buy all the skins!

But I did get vayne for 275 rp. Bargain!

I need to learn Twitch. Just got anti-carried by a good Twitch, he went like 17/0/8 in 15 minutes :o Even with pinks in lane at 1st back.

If you get fed like that it's pretty easy to carry with any ad actually.

Been playing more and more Brand vs Ahri. I still don't get how people say Brand sucks versus her. If you stay on your side of the lane, you don't really have to worry about being instagibbed unless a jungler interferes, and it seems like sooner or later I land a full combo and the fox is dead. I even fed first blood and the Riven jungling on my team threw in an extra kill to fox, and I stomped her face in (next 3 kills were mine-without a jungler's help, way more useful in teamfights). Still think the key is a lot of early pots. And doran ring stacking.

I just love Maokai more and more as I get in the middle of teamfights, W that farmed Yi trying to go for our squishies, Q Katarina's ult, tank Ryze's multiple rotations and dive a tower to catch Xerath for them, and then still live to tell the tale. Or just smash some inhibitor into oblivion.

When I see those 3200 HPwith Shurelya, Banshee and Phage/Triforce at level 18, I'm curious about how well I'd be able to do against a comp that'd allow me to go atmas instead of FH.

I dunno, maybe it's just who I've played, but every brand I've played against with ahri just gets rolled because they either cant outpush my q if they want to actually trade harass with me (because they arent leveling w), or if they do level w I just dodge it and keep them from being topped off and therefore easily ganked when the jungler comes or as soon as I hit 6. A lot of early pots is annoying, but ahri should never die to brand 1v1 imo and has better sustain, so she can get drings/sorcs easier and just smash him as soon as she hits 6, which she should get first.

maokai ulti - galio w is insane for defence. Won a 4v5 72min long game. In the end they managed to ace us at baron as our MF just ran into them like an idiot and me(galio) and mao fought 5 of them valiantly delaying them while the super-minions killed their nexus XD

Galio ult + Maokai ult + Galio's shield = taking practically no damage.

I think I should set up my friends with Galio and then run galio top + mao jungle. Unkillable thing taunting the entire opponent team for a decent duration? Yesplease!

For those of you wondering who is the hardest carry, I just saw a fed Morde (7 kills and 6 assists) win a full 1v4 (with ults for the 4s). 100% alone.

How viable:

With cdr blues and quints, the 4% mastery and micro, you can clear red, blue, and wolves, and be one creep away from lvl 3. Potentially, you can reach lvl 3 as shaco before top or mid can get close to lvl 2 depending on leash, and just one creep death exp.

With utility mastery, you can get to lvl 3 without that one creep exp, and set up the 6 boxes needed to lizard faster before 1:40, but you give up the offensive mastery tree.

Haven't tried with cdr yellows, but they give 2.9% cdr overall

Edit:You need to go boots start though.

Why this matters: You can get to lvl 2 shaco and gank with just the 4% mastery, with double buff. Lvl 3 shaco gives you an option to get stronger crit for the fast gank, or the dagger throw which is a lot more dps to your first gank too.

Dunno, I always hit 6 first as Brand. You can't dodge the w if they land an e/q combo. If you're at all aggressive as fox, you are open to getting hit by my combo, unless you land a taunt. I do get an early WoTA so sustain is not at all a problem, and I feel like Brand just outdamages fox massively after a point. Really want to play against someone who considers themself a good Ahri to see if I'm just noob bashing.

Also, there's the fact that once fox burns her q, you have 7 seconds to do whatever the hell you want pre-6, because that is her only way to farm creeps quickly, and her other skills do not really pose a threat without the q, at least early. Considering you don't even really need w to be ready as Brand (just close) to start your combo, this is kind of a big deal. My skill order is r>w>e>q. 9/0/21 masteries, standard AP runes cept mana regen/level seals. I also find it super easy to dodge the q, because they're probably going to be trying to hit the creeps most of the time.
