I'm surprised you'd bring up jarvan with no mention of Leona as far as kill lane ADC+supports go.

Jarvan does more damage and amplifies damage better then leona. She works better with adcs like twitch corki but she doesn't give any benefits to anyone around her or provide any threat. Shes a good stunbot and her defensive steroid makes her hard to kill but she doesn't have the fire and fury that a prince of damacia gives.

Played my first Vi game, pretty fun. Way faster clear as I'd have thought.

I have to figure out how to jump in though, because as an initiatior I got focused down really hard. Damage is great tho, I like her.

So. I'm trying to pick up trynda top atm.

Any thoughts/tips ?

Take a look at what monte posted about Trynd in the TROLLS thread - I think he has some neat ideas about Tryndamere over there. (Gist of it: start with some AP to use only as a sustain+trading tool, build AD.)

Yeah I saw that and it works pretty well, but I'm facing a few problems :
How to trade as Trynda ?
How to teamfight as Trynda ?
When do you stop farming as Trynda ?


Trading: When against other melee champions, you just walk up to them and start the beatings. When W fades or their cooldowns are close to coming back up you E away. Because of W, your innately high auto-damage, the damage from E, and your healing from Q you should have won the trade. Keep spamming Q to heal up as you last-hit, and repeat the trade until you beat your opponent.

When against ranged champions you have to be a little more clever. You either have to run straight at them with W ready to slow them if they start trying to kite, or E to close the gap. Both options are substantially better if you can use the bushes as either an attack or escape vector.

With the setup I documented in T.R.O.L.L.S. I ran a Cloth Armor + 5 Pot Darius out of potions without much issue. (SEE: http://www.twitch.tv/montegomerylol/b/362115117 @2:10:00)

Teamfighting: You're not really a bruiser or tank, so leave the tanking to the professionals whenever possible. You're just as happy beating on whoever is chasing your ranged AD as you are going after theirs, so who you target is going to depend on who you can reach safely. You may have a get out of death free ticket in the form of your ultimate, but those 5 seconds can pass in a hurry.

A lot of your teamfighting depends on game circumstances. If you team is really behind, as mine was, you can't really play as boldly as I tried to.

Farming: This is similar to most top lanes. If you have a big advantage over your opponent and a key item which makes you a lethal threat to others, start shoving waves and roaming/stealing jungle. If you've taken top turret, shove waves and roam. Just don't miss creep build-ups.


I'm not really an expert on this yet as top is my worst lane, but that's how I've made it work so far.

I tried to follow your guidelines in a game with my viewers, the result was pretty epic (3:40:00+) : http://www.twitch.tv/mr_tolkien/b/362544199


(I gave up a 1v1 kill early because I didn't know how barrier worked...)


You only started with 21 AP (no AP Glyphs I take it), putting you at effectively 35.4 Hp5. You also didn't start Amplifying Tome which cost you another 13 Hp5. The armor from Cloth Armor extends your Hp5 a bit, equivalent to 5-6 Hp5, so that's an interesting alternative, but I'd have grabbed a ward instead of stacking nothing but potions.

Your barrier death was also the result of holding onto your Q a lot. Whenever you had Fury you became reluctant to Q, and you also didn't account for healing debuffs. Over the course of everything that lead up to your death that was easily 150-200 health you could have had, but didn't.

Fun game though.

Well, I don't have AP blues, so I'm running :
AP quints
AS reds
Armor yellows
MR/lvl blues

As for masteries, I go 23/7/0, grabbing the 3 crit related masteries, as well as flat AD (1 point) and AP. I'm considering ditching the flat AD though... But I don't really know where to find the other point I would need for veteran's scars.

What do you run exactly ?


Runes: AP Quints/Glyphs, Crit Marks, Armor Seals.
Masteries: 23/7/0

I swap the Armor masteries for MR when appropriate.

I don't really care for Frenzy. It gets lost in the noise pretty quickly, and by the time you have enough crit for it to matter you should have enough attack speed to dwarf its benefit. Mathematically speaking it isn't bad, especially on a full build Tryndamere, but the whole point of the setup is to be more concerned about the early game.

I think you are vastly underestimating the damage of her W, the free autoattack from Q and her passive.

she's not a primary initiator, similar to warwick. her dps is not bursty so you need to dive carries when you can get that sustained dps in. you don't want to ult, hit E once, and then die to cc.

Excuse me? Jarvan as support brings only 1 second of hard CC + the ultimate (from which many ADs can escape without flash) and he's relatively squishy on low items compared to Leona. Leona can stun for 3 seconds, plus a short snare, and it's definitely easier to hit both abilities of EQ for Leona than Jarvan.

Also consider what they bring past the laning phase - Jarvan isn't gonna keep up in damage later on in the game, his ultimate CAN be useful in teamfights, but ultimately, a well-applied Jarvan ulti could also be a well-applied Leona ulti, and the latter isn't going to dick over your team. Also, he only has a small armor steroid which he probably isn't even going to level up first, so he can't really have presence on the front line of teamfights with only a few ruby crystal items in the face of farmed enemy threats. Leona's W allows her to really get in up on the front line, and her teamfight initiation potential is immense with both her EQ combo and her long range ulti.

I'm pretty pumped about Season 3 officially starting. I know a lot of people aren't looking forward to the ladder system but I'm really interested to give it a shot. Also the launch of lolesports.com is very exciting, especially for most of us on the writing staff.

Actually, as J4 support you can easily get away with leveling E first, I do it all the time and usually win the lane. E > W > Q, Q is just for the knockup combo, the armor shred is overrated until later in the game anyway. You're a bit right in that if the enemy carries get too far ahead they can kill J4 pretty fast when he dives in, but that's usually the case with Leona too, her W doesn't really provide her so much more mitigation than J4's and his has the benefit of a fairly powerful AoE slow. (His shield provides 410 points at max rank against 5 enemies, Leona's shield provides 70 armor and mres, which is admittedly a fairly high amount of effective health, but if they both happen to take 410 points of damage, one of them is going to take 0 damage, and the other is going to take around 100-400 damage)

Plus, J4's knockup can hit the enemy enemy team, which is something Leona can't do nearly as easily, and he can even use it while retreating which is again, something Leona has difficulty with. He brings more mobility, more AoE, and more aura. Leona brings all-in, better single target CC, and a bit more damage (depending, because if J4 builds a few damage items, like Zeke's, he can definitely do more damage than Leona)

J4 is very much a legitimate support champion, and it annoys me greatly how many people don't seem to get that.

Golden Aegis never hits 5 people unless they tried to all-in you and failed, or lined up for a 5-person EQ or ulti.

2-3 is most realistic, even 4 is a stretch unless you're fighting in a really enclosed space (the AoE is only radius 300).

So for everyone who plays fizz out there, and plays him well preferably, I have this new build that I really want to try and want to hear people's opinions about.

This is the final build, not sure about the order yet...


Gunblade
Muramana
Frozen Fist
Liandri's Torment
and then Deathcap and whatever is necessary at that point.


The few times I've tried this I did absolutely gross single target damage and really decent AOE. The Fist and gunblade work really well Liandri's which gains extra damage from your ult and E too. Plus Muramana feels amazing on him with his Q and W. It's really insane.

would u go 21 in AP in the offensive tree or the AD route because you dont actually get any ip items until Dcap it seems. also tearstaking seems like a pain in the ass on fizz

what exactly is the s3 patch, the new ranking system?

And Leona Ultimate never hits 5 people either, but people like to theorycraft like it does. We can assume a minimum of 290 (2 targets, and often 3). Armor and Magic resist aren't worth as much as they were since the penetration changes too. As for J4's ultimate, people do like to point out how easy it is to escape, but never bother to point out how ridiculously good it is at forcing people to blow their escapes at what is often a sub-optimal time, allowing your team to close in on them without any escapes left. And for someone who happens to not have any escapes left, it's a ridiculously long CC.
