Can we talk about AD top? On Loci's stream they're running Vayne top and Panth Janna bot. When would you do something like that?

Also Sivir top is pretty beast. I straight up killed a Tryndamere at level 1 although I think he was also just bad. Seems strong against melee though, you can kite them really hard and boomerang them in the face if they try jump you.


I was playing as Riven today in top lane and the enemy team sent a Caitlyn to lane against. Boy was that gay....couldn't cs for shit until I got my jungler to help me.

No. I'm the primary Banling here but all Reds read the reports that are submitted by TL users. ETT is one of the main moderators.

For the record, I'm with USnip. The warning was unwarranted. I've sent a PM to ETT. Inside jokes are sometimes hard to catch.

AD top/Double AD is very very strong. CLG EU have been running it with superb results. Although it has shown me that Wickd is awful at vayne.
Go go Alliance.

I'm like 0-3 vs ETT with posts that I'm pretty sure were ok, but I understand, it can be hard to tell. It's not a big deal, I don't mind that I got warned. The only person where it would bother me if that post got taken the wrong way is shikyo actually, I really like having him post on this forum, with all his quirky arguments, and I wouldn't want to offend him. But I'm pretty sure he got it.

One of my draft mode games with friends got me thinking - a good way to use xerath's passive can be to put him bot vs a low range AD. Like they had kassadin and graves on their team with alistar support. I was playing xerath and suggested we switch up the lanes. Vayne went mid vs kassadin and me and soraka vs graves/ali.

It's much much more useful in my opinion to have all your spells increase in damage, with E becoming crazy strong.


That may not seem much, but the range upgrade actually makes you able to outrange most people point'n'click cc/engage spells, allowing you to use it offensively. I wouldn't try to engage with non-upgraded Gravity Field, unless I'm in the jungle, simply because then I know I can eat some scuds, or worse, have people blow their gapclosers on me to simply ignore the field.

Plus it allows you to make use of the full Death Ray range too. And you need mana sustain anyway, so a bit of cdr + more flexibility + I can avoid getting mp5 items? Yeah, sure.
Then again, I try to run him top so I often fight within double AP comps. Get a Rylai, WotA, don't bother about less damage and provide the utility for AoE/"press R" comps, profit.

on the discussion of perma stealth champions. i think the whole idea of perma stealth is stupid. i played wow a lot previously and i always thought rogues in that were stupid too. the problem with stealth is it sooo binary. from stealth you feel strong, probably kill them. if you cant use your stealth, in this game pink wards and oracles, you feel pathetic and useless.

when you rely on such a stupid gimmick to be effective its frustrating for both sides.

i think in lol atleast all stealths are bad. theres no tactical choice when vayne ults on how to deal with tumble. you can hit her then you cant. if tumble while ulted did something interesting, where the other team had to make a choice it would be a lot better imo

That's so mind-bogglingly dumb my head hurts. Plus they assume you've got Power in their teamfighting pieces of advice while they advocate to never get it. Meh.

I havent found much use so far for the Gravity Augment yet, but I can see it being usefull against a team with a lot of ranged nukers or something similar. For me the reason I generally just go Death is because I find the passive passive (+45ap) the most usefull. The Power upgrade is awesome fun to be honest tho, and there are probably situations where it's not a bad choice at all, but since I build double dorans-->rylais anyway the extra HP aren't that needed, the 6hp/5 is crap and since I've gotten fed early almost all games the dot on the poke is just too tempting.

There was no inside joke, just the third insult to someone in the last half a day's worth of pages.

Just waiting for the day supports start properly timing enemy wards like dragon and stuff is timed. Can't be that hard, you don't see support for 5sec and next time you see them they got less ward(s) in inventory.

That already gets done. I make an effort to do it in whatever lane I'm in, but usually only the side-lanes can actually see where the ward gets placed so it gets done mostly as a support or top laner.

I kinda fail in laning phase as Viktor (Singed with two early ganks from Shaco last game, he had a lot of ms so it was hard to go up away from tower to last hit), but I seem to do 0K if teamfights as long as I get my Rylai, and with WotA+Gravity once the bursts are spent my survivability's quite good. But I need somebody else to do damage too, as I'm not as burst as, say, Gragas or Annie.
Got a bad Gragas last game, he ruined every single ult set up with Sona and Graves. :/

Yea bad gragas's etc can really screw you over ^^ To be honest I could possibly see Viktor not having the real burst of other AP's, but since I got kinda fed early on most games it was hard to notice (Deathray taking people for roughly half their HP and the ult finishing off). I can see Vik having trouble toplaning, but against most other AP's he does fine in my experience.

Viktor has lower damage and high cooldowns and mana costs than most common mids TBH. His range isn't that good either.

What are runes/masteries/items/etc. for jungle Karthus? Wolves blue or start blue?

I don't know. I'd rather get two E in a fight for 200% damage than 1 for 130%, so I play around with utility and survivability. I'd really like to get a RoA but he needs rylai/WotA too hard for the way I try to play him, and the passive's already making it hard to keep up wards, pots and item components when you start with dorans.

Viktor's better off maxing E to be able to push, but the fact that he relies on it makes him bad in trades, Q doesn't do lots of damage, and E's cd's still pretty high early on.
I think I might fiddle around with masteries and try 9-15-9 for better survivability/additionnal cdr, on top of the mpen and mana regen he's already getting from offense and utlity.

Yes, but it's pretty worthless because it's largely edited by bad players.

If you're at a point where you have to ask about counters instead of knowing what is a counter and why you probably shouldn't be worrying about it in the first place. You need to have that understanding to make counterpicking worthwhile and understand how the other solo and jungle play into it.

Pantheon counters all huehue. Well... almost. And you shouldn't play him so we can keep him away from fotm. So just avoid him, 'cept for gangplank tops. They're asking for it.
