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.

Doesn't happen, if it does, you're either 2/3th pick or 4/5th pick depending on if your team had first pick or not.

Also, noob question since I'm just now starting to play Ali: How do you do the Headbutt->Pulv combo so that the pulv keeps them right next to you?


It's kind of tricky and takes a fair amount of practice to do it consistently, but basically you just want to press Q right as you start to lunge for the Headbutt.

Alisar's AP ratios are pretty bad though. 0.5 on Pulverize and 0.7 on Heabutt. I think if you want damage on Alistar, go for a combo like Sunfire + Abyssal, gives you some nice tanky stats while also having synergy with your passive.


assassin build quite good too, I've been running it on him out of the jungle forever and it's pretty scary. get a vamp scepter, triforce and bruta, press R and leap on their squishies in every fight. Don't think I've ever actually tried tank alistar with expensive items, could be fun though.

I guess the real question is what lane he's coming out of. If he's in duo lane he needs a support build with 1 or 2 gp5 and cdr, if jungle assassin build, if solo lane I guess assassin or maybe tank.


Skill order and items for jungle assassin?


QEW Q > W > E, pace your spells for passive damage. He's blue reliant early and he tapers off a bit late game, otherwise pretty amazing jungler.

I usually go wriggles triforce bruta and then either a tank item or finish ghostblade, but I've been thinking the wriggles might be unnecessary with new jungle. Might be better to just get a vamp scepter and go straight to sheen, or build a philo, would help with his mana problems a lot.

Nope. It is entirely by order of Elo (which is not an acronym, either).

Don't be ridiculous; There are huge globs of people at the same Elo in the lower (technically, average) regions of like 1000-1200. You wouldn't skip over someone in queue because they happen to have the same Elo as someone else on the team. I don't know what the tie-breaker is, though.

Oops I'll make sure to remember the thing about it not being an acronym.
The official website seems to disagree on the Elo top-down thing though (http://competitive.leagueoflegends.com/season-two-FAQ)
What determines the ban and pick order of my team?

In Solo/Duo Queue competition, the highest rated player on each team will always be given the privilege of choosing the bans and picking first. The remainder of the pick order is randomly constructed by the matchmaking system.

In team play, the organizing player will choose bans and pick first. The other players will pick in the order that they were invited to the group. In this way, the organizing player of a given play session is always able to tailor the picking order to their liking.

EDIT: As for tie-breaker I'd expect it's going to be one of either #wins, win ratio, or w/l differential

There are 2 teams and tons of players online @ the same time with different elo aswell, I've just never seen someone have the same elo after the match and if they had the same elo before the match, they should have identical elo afterwards aswell.

I think they claim it is randomized, but I really dont think that it is. Duo q always puts the higher ahead of the lower, even in cases with multiple duo qs on the same team. I think they just dont want to foster the whole "5th pick is worst on the team" thing.

Just hide always behind minions. If she hit 6 and gets you with charm, its pretty much over cause of the burst she has.


Well dodging her projectiles before she hits 6 isn't very hard, just stutterstep and dance around as per usual. However it's just when she does land a Charm or her ball thing, I either get disabled and die to her burst, or the ball hits me for 1/4 of my HP and i die to he burst anyways. I was playing solo mid against her as Veigar maybe that was more the issue than Ahri as a hero.
It's not the Q thingy, but her W that really hurts and its more reliable than the ball. True damage sounds nice, but its too easy to dodge it. Its better to miss 1-2 mobs, than face her combo and be killed/forced to bluepill.

W can't be controlled, Q can. A good player will hit you with a Q.
Same can be said about a good opponent. A good player will dodge your Q. But if you are moving towards the enemy and are in 200-300 range, for sure at least 2 foxes will hit him, even if opponents around. Moreover if you start your combo by charming him, meaning you have an opening on him. I would max W over Q all day long. But I think it's more of a playstyle question - both can be good, depending on your preference.

Btw, had first ranked with Ahri went 9-2 and managed to lose the game cause of noob jungler and AP vayne. ^_^ Shit happens I guess.
Though we strike at you from the shadows, do not think that we lack the courage to stand in the light.

W can't be controlled, Q can. A good player will hit you with a Q.

More like a good player will never let you hit them with both parts of a Q, that thing just isn't fast. MAYBE 1 part. If they're committing to a trade then you can usually get both ticks off. Thing is when she's diving on you at level 6+ she can probably hit a point blank charm pretty trivially and unload. Fortunately she doesnt have the damage to 100->0 champs, she has to wear them down a bit first (but her kit is more capable of the necessary attrition than some other AP assassins who are better at 100-0'ing people.) or she has to chase them long enough with R for some cooldowns to refresh.
