Matt is pretty bad and likes to play ad carry, I pick top so that I have as long to snowball as possible before whoever he's feeding shows up in my lane. He keeps talking shit to our random support so I talk shit to him and he responds "yeah? 1 v 1 me bro, I'll take you any time." I offer him a money bet (all his d3 stuff) and he takes it.
I take corki vs his brand and nexus him at 19 minutes. Then travis says "double or nothing?" Travis is quite a bit better than Matt so this time there are ground rules... we do bans in draft mode, then jump into blind pick to get our champions. Unfortunately one rule I forgot to specify is how we end the game... turns out six item swain beats the shit out of six item karthus. I'm way ahead of him for a long time but I can't quite get his inhib and the long term advantage of the matchup grinds me out and I lose. Net earnings of night... zero. Oh well.
Fun story. Rules for how the game is to end are kinda important, indeed.
But why would you pick karthus in a 1v1 situation?
Agreed karthus doesn't beat anyone 1v1 :/ why would you risk everything on relying on hitting Qs.
knew I would and I did. travis is notoriously bad at dodging skillshots and I don't own a great many standard mid champions.
IMO I think pulsefire EZ actually has too much crap going on with the voiceovers and stuff. I was watching people use it on the test realm and you can't even blue pill or respawn without hearing the computer lady stroke your ego for spending $25 on something that's purely cosmetic.
i feel bad for numbers just watched his game on corki and damn that mid morg you had sucked hard bro :/ when the junle tank kennen does better then morg it says alot
To be comPletly honest as stupid as it is I will totally buy pulsefire ez. My fav champ.. Though i havEnt played draven yet. I've been on vacation how viable is he?

Well he isn't that expensive if you buy him the 1st 4 days.
drAven is eiTheR hiT or MiSs, he has some strenGths; glObal ulTimaTe, chasing with his blood rush that gets reSeT whenEveR hiS axe hits and soMe weakNesSeS; no reliaBle steriOd, stronG lane CounTerS.

The inner grammar nazi is alternately screaming and crying. Mostly crying.

@Soniv I agree, I'd actually like blackthorn Morgana more if the spell effects weren't so gaudy, as is Sinful succulence still best skin imo. I do like the swain one though (although I still prefer northern front)
Also agree...the animations on the new Morg and Swain skins kinda fuck me up a little...too much black swirly shit. I swear it slows down my reaction time to Binding....

What a coincidence, I was too bro! I'm home now though
Last pick calls top. I pick Kennen as 4th pick. He decides to take top anyway with J4. Fortunately enemy team picked Talon. Proceed to play support Kennen while J4 rapes top. End up winning with a final score of 8/4/12.

For my past few matches of not ap Ez, I've been going phage->BT->frozen mallet, then going for whatever the situation calls for. It basically means that I can sustain myself pretty well, has a nice bit of health to survive focus for at least a bit, and great for chasing. Is there any reason to get IE over it or even get a Triforce? I know Triforce is good, I find that even with the sheen procs I'm better off with a large health pool and lifesteal.
I think there's a couple of reasons:
- you don't need the FM for kiting, due to the spammability of his Q, Phage procc should be enough - HP isn't a good defensive stat if you're getting it without getting any resistances - Lifesteal scales better with resistances than HP - Triforce offers a lot more DPS overall than FM, it makes you run faster, attack faster, has the much wanted Sheen proc. I'd get it over FM any day of the week.
