I am thinking about making a smurf and only play one champion. I would name my smurf after the said champion (something like "I Only Play Irelia" or something). Who should I play? I only want to play a bruiser on the smurf because I mainly play AP mid and occasionally bottom lane. I want a bruiser who can do well in the general situation (esp. in blind pick); being able to jungle is a plus, but not required. I have the following in mind:
Irelia?
Riven?
Lee Sin?
Fizz? (the only AP bruiser I am willing to consider)
Nidalee?
Shyvana?
of those listed, the only one who i've seen have any success in bot lane against an ad/support lane is lee sin irelia/fizz/nid all have such sub-par jungles it's not even worth considering them if that's a criteria IMO shyvana can top/jungle with easy, as can riven, and i've also seen riven have success mid in certain matchups lee will always have the problem of being lee sin in solo queue - your teammates will rarely take advantage of your extremely strong early game and will probably derp away any lead you give them and lee sin lategame is pretty weak. I will most likely play the top lane on the smurf (or jungle, if feasible). The whole reason is that I am very used to play ranged champions (even since the DOTA days). Nowadays I feel that I don't really know how to play a melee champion at all. if you think you will get to play top lane half or even one-quarter of the games you play in blind pick, then i have some real estate to show you if you are just looking for a champ to exclusively play, regardless of which lane, i'd go with lee or riven
In blind pick, from my experience getting the lane you want depends solely on the quality of your pc. If you can get into the game faster then the others, choose a champion, and write top, you usually get top without many problems. I would say that i can get whatever lane i want about 75% of the time since my pc is, though not top-end, still faster then most. Of course you also need to be able to find the champion you want to play in the list pretty fast. I am doing quite a lot of blindpick at the moment because i want to be able to play all lanes at least halfway decent, and have barely any experience top or mid since i usually just go for whatever noone wanted, which led to me being comparatively better at jungle and support then other stuff.

gold quints and gold yellows for sure
i'd also get MR yellows and armor blues, they come in handy in certain matchups
other than that you have pretty much anything you'd need for 90% of champs in 90% of matchups
|
armor reds for support/some jungles. gp/10 quints like said before. Armor quints for some jungles. If you're looking for special rune pages having a flat armor page and flat mr page can always be useful when you get counter picked in a lane you suck at. You can also have a crit page for GP/tryn trolling. That's about all I can think of.
|
GP10 Quints are standard on all supports
HP Regen Quints for some niche top lane pages
AP/lvl Yellow, and 1 Blue MPen if you want to be like Jiji
Anything more than that is just being indulgent. Like SpellVamp Quints for super abusive runepages you'll only ever use 1% of the time when you have a favourable matchup.
Also on behalf of Riot Marketting I thank you for all your purchases. No prize though. Although, if you're at 999 wins, I can arrange for a Rioter to play with you.

gp10 seals, armor blues, gp5 and armor quints

lolol thanks all for the advice; MB I think I'm like 40 wins off or some shit.
If I save up enough IP for Leona before Jayce comes out (with the boost I probably will, also if Riot caves to the 1000 RP whiners...) I'll probably get a bunch of the gp10 runes. I'm still kinda surprised they make a difference though, I mean it's SO much less gold even with a full set than the items.

hp5, armor, mr quints
armor reds
hybrid pen for fun

The vamp Quints just depend on who you play. I like them for vlad and morde as well as Ken.
|
If riot caves i hope they lock your content for 3 days because im tired of people downplaying how annoying that was

OK I thought of a name I like and decided to go with Riven. The only problem now is that I need to earn myself 6300 IP. I probably need to use the 400 RP they give me at lvl 3 for IP boosts and hope for the best.
Also my internet is failing really badly. Had to leave my first game (got an instant warning for it, sigh).

Soo... I just spent a good hour working on it... Jungle heimerdinger success:
semi-full clear ( blue > wolves > wraiths > red > wraiths instead of golems) in 4 minutes 5 seconds. no leash. end at full hp ready to gank mid lane.
EDIT: was able to get a full clear w/ golems at 4 minutes also with amp tome + 1 and the AP focus runepage. still high enough to gank too.
Items (equally) successful with:
Regrowth pendant + 1
Cloth + 5
Boots + 3
Ruby Crystal
Amp tome + 1
Doran Ring
Masteries used:
21 (standard AP fare except 2 in minion damage instead of 2 extra in % damage)/9/0
Smite was used
Rune pages tried:
Option 1: flat armor red+ yellow + quint, Flat AP Blue
Option 2: flat armor red + yellow, flat AP blue + quint (you finish clear at 40ish health under option 1, but gain 15 AP)
IF anyone is interested i'll post more in depth method of tackling each camp.
^^
please dont subject any teammates in a real game to this horror, i'm still mad at the guy that jungled heimer on my team in ranked game several weeks ago. it's like saying hey guys, i'm going to jungle but our mid is never going to get a single blue and everytime i gank i'm more likely to die than help you get a kill.

you know, in those three days, i managed to play a single game that wasn't horribly ruined by DC's or crashes.
so yeah, i'd trade that one game for 1k RP.
As for jungle heimer, That guy was probably trolling and trash. I'd totally give blue to mid after the first that is. in fact i played heimer in the jungle a couple games back i went 1-4-12, with three deaths because i dc'd or crashed mid game. (i dc at a tower, come back tower is dead and so am I). Only DC'd since riot screwed over the universe with the recent patches.

Does anybody know why TD's streams are promoted streams on TSM's site?

So what ELO should I be at before it's considered "respectable"? Just shoot for Plat?

I swear everytime there's an enemy hec he crushes. Is he like, secretly OP? I don't understand his downside. You can ward, but he runs so fast that he can still get there lots of times if you extend at all. He tanks like a beast, has great initiate, etc...

people had the same problem with rammus. Seriously if you want to gain elo and play jungler, play rammus sejuani hecarim etc. If you aren't on a team that knows how to ward against specific junglers they are really powerful
