He went all retarded mode.

Also scarra has no idea how to play Mordekaiser. He runs 9-0-21, spellvamp quints and he misses a lot of his Es.

i dont understand why people like Malphite jungle.. isnt he item and mana dependent heavily?

He used to be pretty decent last season, he was always inferior to Amumu because he lacks pre-lvl6 map presence and jungles slower, but before people knew Amumu is this good he was an alright pick. Unfortunately, he is ridiculously slow in the new jungle and with Rammus and Nautilus possibly (?) viable, he is just not worth picking for jungle at all, ever.

And also, the times when you'd want to pick him, you can find a lane to stick him in with a favorable matchup.

In almost all the normal games I've been playing people ban Malphite. I'm not sure why but apparently people think he is a second Amumu. In Season 2 I was able to play Jungle Malphite whenever I wanted to.

I feel Malphite is kind of frustrating to play against because his R range is so freaking long and he has a lot of good follow-ups.

I don't ban him, but a lot of people on my team rages at me for not banning him.

On the subject of Rammus, has anybody using him with much success? I've been building him pretty much like I did amumu going for spirit of the ancient golem guaranteed then after that just more tankiness dependent on if we need aegis or whatever. His clear speed doesn't feel too bad, but maybe I've played so much shen recently that any jungle feels almost fast in comparison.

Guys, you should seriously try AP Ezreal, he is so fun and a complete fucking BEAST lategame. Definitely takes some getting used to, but so cool.

His early game is pretty painful unless you have someone very easily harassable against you, preferably with slow skillshots you can juke with blink. But once you get Dcap and then lich and stuff he just turns into the most absurdly mobile burst machine. The amount of outplayage possible on him is great and his teamfighting is unbelievably strong.



In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

I will forever hate AP ezreal. I've always thought he was trash, and then when the Pulsefire skin got released every game always had an ezreal in it guaranteed for weeks. And if they weren't going to AD, well, they'd go AP mid. Always suck. Always. Always. I fucking hate every AP ezreal. I'm getting mad just remembering those few weeks.

So last time I posted here asking about lane freezing I got a ton of new info. Was wondering if anyone could direct me to Korean top lane VoDs, because it's basically the lane I'm most clueless about in s3/in general. It seems, at first glance, the easiest/most straightforward lane, but then I hear pros describe Koreans as "on another level" in top lane, and it makes me wonder what they are doing.

So basically, if anyone has links to s3 Korean twitch VoD lists or something like that, or general... information about top lane, I would appreciate it. I have Irelia -- is she still good? I heard some pro's qq about s3 being "about nerfing Irelia." I tend to die very early on with Irelia pretty often... is she like... weaker early on? Or do you need flawless E timing?



Don't have time for specifics atm, but you should check here!

http://www.reddit.com/r/LoLeventVoDs

thanks for the link! if anyone knows of specific irelia or renekton korean vod links i would lovee them (is renekton even viable?)


I would assume that new BC+armor pen changes have made Renekton a lot more viable. He's really strong and abusive early game and his main problem was always falling off late game but I think S3 changes have eliminated a lot of that. There are probably better bruisers than Renekton but if you like him/are good with him then I'm sure you'll be fine in solo queue.

He does so much damage in lane he's really fucking obnoxious to play against. But yeah ill agree the BC changes probably made him a million times stronger

Nice try at the spinning tank gif. No cigar though.

Kassadin still strong as an assassin, just his laning phase is a problem. Silence is nice to stop TF ports, and your ult is good for chasing and executing. Can always go Uta build too.

Just as a follow up, Jiji on Kassadin vs WildTurtle TF on stream right now.

Malphite is very similar to amumu in team fights, if your team isn't smart against him he will ulti 3 or 4 champions every time and almost win the fight by himself.

I think he's a pretty important ban at low elo.

I remember smurfing as bruiser taric. Shits hilarious, ERW and then right click to win, healing yourself every 4-5 seconds.

Haha oh man after claiming the top two spots on solo ladder I guess I can see getting bored.
ChaoxLoL: I will be doing another champion marathon(a-z) this year, probably starting tomorrow.

Curious if he will try and knock it out in a couple of days again.

Havoc's bad, and when do you not get at least 1 source of critical chance?
