Lulu yes, but she was overtuned like nearly every release champ these days. The problem with the Ali nerfs is they didn't nerf the problems with his jungle (gank city). They just made his already terrible farming even worse. Soraka's nerfs were largely centered around killing her ability to sustain infinitely without thought. It was a problem both with Soraka mid and Soraka support unless she went overboard with Q spam. You'll note that they adjusted her mana costs when she lost her personal mana battery. Ultimately you don't see Soraka mid these days not because of those nerfs, but because she's bad at roaming. They nerfed Zephyr because you got more than half the passive's worth with 1 rank, and between that and her passive she had, by default, more movespeed% at level1-2 than someone who stacked Movespeed Quints and masteries. The AP ratio nerf was for essentially the same reason as the Glitterlance nerfs, it was too good of a harass tool (especially combined with Q) once you started getting AP. You really shouldn't be farming as Alistar anyway, but the Trample nerf was pretty minimal (9 damage per ability use). The only other nerf relevant to jungling was the Headbutt damage change which, while insufficient, wasn't a bad idea. The PBE Headbutt range change may be more to your liking.

This obviously means I'm actually 2k (no you may not point out the logical fallacies required to reach this conclusion)! | ||

Something that hits top post on the frontpage in under 15 minutes will do that, especially since it's going at somewhere around 200+ comments a minute. Sad to see though, obama only set aside half an hour for the ama apparently which means that only questions with a few hundred upvotes are going to get answered. | ||

Is there something wrong with my thinking? Is there any reason to buy RoA over Rylai's if you're not getting both and need to start charging it early? | ||

I think if you were below 1200 then you would reset to 1200, then if you had higher elo, then you would start with a slightly higher elo. Afaik, the highest you could start was like 1400 tho. | ||

People usually get Cata for the sustain, but mana shouldn't be an issue these days with blue buff being what it is, and getting Giant's Belt first gives more of a health buffer and costs less anyways. The Rylai's passive ends up being soooo much better than RoA's, and it gives more health and AP until charged. Is there something wrong with my thinking? Is there any reason to buy RoA over Rylai's if you're not getting both and need to start charging it early? You should almost always build Rylai over RoA unless you are one of those extremely mana hungry casters (Swain, Karthus, Kassadin) | ||

If you are talking about Cho alone,Rylai's is better yea.Cho clears so easy with his E auto's he doesn't really mana starve himself at all on farming alone. While were at it,Imo someone is going to bust out ap chogath for the regionals. | ||

I had a game last night where I got killed twice early. Once from a jungle gank, the next from just a bad engagement. After that point, I was way behind on farm and he had the kills and another from a bad jungler who came up and died. Another game, I was Nunu vs a Rumble, a pretty difficult matchup for most people from what I hear. He just pushed, harassed, and was generally just an asshole like Rumble is as a champion. He got two kills on me because I thought I was stronger than I really was, and then snowballed that. Both times, I ended up admittedly feeding because I kept trying to get farm, and every time I stepped away from tower they just killed me. However, just sitting under tower getting no gold or experience makes me useless. What is the correct thing to do besides "get farm but die a bunch" or "sit back and be 4 levels and 50 CS behind"? Should I be roaming to try and gank another lane, take my jungle, or what? Keep in mind this is solo queue, so you can't really count on the jungler coming up to help you get caught back up with ganks. | ||

The range was 906-1490, with the vast majority falling between 1100-1400. You had to be really, really bad to reset to 906, and really, really good to reset to 1490. We'll likely see a similar, though not exact, reset at the start of Season 3. Right now we don't know when Season 2 ends or Season 3 starts. Season 1 carried on for several months following the championships, so if they extend the ladder again we might not see Season 3 until 2013. | ||
