Yo Guitar what you think of Karma?
She provides almost nothing for CC or mobility but she has a juicy combination of burst and antiburst, and a lot of dudes appreciate her W speedboost.

Also Promote secret treeline op, free towers all day.

Lulu and Karma are pretty strong anti-meta picks imo :O
Lulu is one of the best 1v2 and destroys many typical mass bruiser comps with her combination of ccs. Her ult and shield also do a lot more on TT, because you're typically placing them on a bruiser with at least decent resists fighting against other bruisers l0l. Also effectively impossible to kill in teamfights. My personal pick for sleeper op~
Karma is pretty similar to lulu, but less CC and more aoe burst. Her mediocre range is less of an issue on TT (and her AoE is more likely to hit multiple members because mass melee picks tend to bunch up in fights)
Wukong suggested as a partner for both. Making him impossible to kill and his ult twice as deadly is pretty entertaining. :o
(hi i totally didnt get stomped before by wukong-karma yepyep)

Also my team has run Udyr a lot in the past with pretty good results (in both lane and jungle). The straight-up dueling power of tiger udyr is pretty tough to match, and his TT lategame is generally a lot better than his SR lategame. He's just a solid all-around bruiser, with pretty good damage, cc, tankiness and mobility.
I've also played Trundle a bit as a solo laner with decent performance, hes OK imo. He has some pretty decent lane matchups, and people always underestimate him. I generally built wriggles, mallet for insane sticking power while being even more impossible to kill.

Morgana is situational but also viable imo. One of the safest farmers in the game and her ult destroys triple melee comps.

Wards are very important on TT, it's quite common to have pink ward wars at mid and dragon within 5 minutes. Notable is that warding in front of dragon lets you see more passages and the actual pit, but makes it more vulnerable to pinks. The alternative is placing the ward in one of the two brushes below the buffs, which still lets you see the entrance to the dragon pit. Mid and dragon are by far the most important ward locations, but other notable ones include the long oval brush to give vision of the camp and avoid pink at mid, the circle brush as you are setting up for dragon, and the defensive triangle bush ward once your first tower is down.

Also it is notable that once your inhibs are down, you can pull the creep wave into your fountain as it walks into your base. This is pretty much the only way to defend if you're down inhib (and is the main reason you shouldn't necessarily take inhib if you cant end) and it prevents the game from ending until the team is strong enough to essentially tank the turret.

For new players:
Rengar and Rumble are pretty l0l on TT, beware. Their ults give them pretty much global presence.

Hihi guys, haven't been on this subforum in awhile so I'm not sure where to post this. If a mod could move to appropriate place if not here that would be highly appreciated.

I'm looking for a team to go for diamond in 3's, currently 1600 in 3v3 playing with RL friends but they aren't that serious. Highest solo queue rating last season was 1848 (but with 75% winrate and could have gotten a lot higher). No rating this season since I dodge-tanked my solo queue to prove to my buddy that ELO hell didn't exist and also for lols. PM me on TL please if you want to start a team or need a 3rd.

Got gold in 3's in a day running a galio riven teemo comp (renek filled in for riven in one game, and ahri for teemo in another due to bans/counterpicks) without dropping a single game, just for the skin. The 3 of us are gold level 5's players, but was really surprised by having no defeats with such a weird comp.

Basically, Teemo (me) went top with ignite/flash, riven (smite flash) with galio (exhaust flash) bot, with riven taking most of the farm and rushing a wriggles, after which he just roamed and we essentially had 2 solo lanes. I build teemo as pure AP (Nashors, Deathcap), riven builds standard AD (wriggles, BT, GA) and galio builds tanky ap (chalice, aegis, scepter).

We didn't run into any issue, but any of the 3 champs can solo really well, so you can adjust around if teemo can't handle top, or if you really need some ranged power bot.

We had very low killing power until 6, but after that we had a retarded power spike, with teemo getting massive map control, and galio riven being a devastating kill comp. We had 2 games reaching very late game, and then teemo AP is just devastating, dealing basically AD carry grade magic damage, Riven bursting everyone down and galio just locking people down with ult. I doubt many team comps can beat this late game.

I suggest this comp to anyone trying to get the skin, it's really easy and painless experience

How do you guys usually build morde?
Well let me rephrase that. We have a 3v3 team (900-1200 Elo is solo q) and we usually run a combo of jayce/mundo or cho/morde or rumble but our mordes game plan is to essentially go for fb and if he fails rush a fon or warmogs depending on the other team. If course then we have a bruiser who does no damage and has no cc so I've been trying to get him out of that mindset but I've never really played morde in any way other than while leveling to thirty so I don't have a practical build to give him and saying "do more damage" doesn't really help.

God I really cant wait to play some 3s again

I stopped playing lol about a year ago due to my partners and I having school, but when we did play, we used to do Taric / Kennen / Olaf (or sion), got it to about 1700 ELO and teams used to rage so hard when playing us

Has TT changed a lot since then (like any MAJOR changes, not just champions etc) and do more people play it now? or is it still 5s all the way? :D
