Kha and Jayce are still monsters before they're nerfed. And I pointed out Ryze Karthus Nunu and Nasus not because they're strong picks, but because only masochists enjoy playing them. Kinda like Soraka.


Ryze and Karthus are awesome. Then again, I did play Terran in BW.


Wait what. Playing Terran in BW is like playing a whole team of Ryze and Karthus's while having to build stuff in your base too.

unless it's sk terran

then it's like playing a billion dianas

He's stupid to play against toplane. Trundle deals with him just fine but can be scary sometimes if you overstay. Chogath on the other hand just demolishes him.

Ever since Zac nerfs he hasn't been THAT scary. I mean he's still beast but not an exceptional one.

Jax is still beast too guys, that lvl6 allin is strong as all hell.

Just take ad runes vs. Kass? (and the flat ad masteries if you're going 21/0/9). You have 600 aa range, you'll bully him out of lane on that alone. Hell, sometimes I go doran's blade doran's ring vs kass instead of 2x rings.

Damn this is old school lol, I remember when I started playing annie in season 1, the guides I looked up at lvl 20 debated whether q max or w max was right. W gives you more burst in every scenario, though if you can get another q off (not likely) you'll even it out.

leveling e will reduce your burst a lot, but do not, do not underestimate the free resists. If you're playing aggressive annie, you're going to run into the jungler sometime, and having a point in e will change you from a squishy champ to being surprisingly tanky, especially early on. 20 armor + armor yellows makes it much much harder for the jungler to kill you. If you're playing for the level 6 kill though, you don't really need it as much.


Hybrid pen reds, +3 AD masteries. Can even Ignite at level 1 for 5 more AD. Way more than enough to out-trade Kass every time

The funny thing is at Silver I elo the most common bans, in relative order, are Amumu, Blitz, Shen, Malphite, Hecarim, and Thresh.

Kha, Jayce, Diana, and Zac are almost never banned, even though they carry solo queue SO HARD. It reminds of last year when Morg hadn't really been ban-worthy for about 6 months at high elo or tournaments but was still a perma ban in Silver.

Permabans take quite a long time to trickle down the ranks. Bans in <Plat are 90% for team morale rather than banning actual OP champions. Before a champ is a worthwhile ban, not only does it have to be strong, but everyone has to agree that it's strong(er than the current permabans).

It's hilarious because it's so true. This was my team chat one game:

oh god they have amumu
goddamn it why would you not ban amumu
<Amumu is support>
wtf he can even support? so op
<Our bot lane gets crushed>

I find him to be a stable choice.

Regardless of damage, I'd never horse around with his sustain and engage potential.


You have to pony up a lot of gold for items before he gets tanky enough to be strong though.

Specifically, one that I'd never use but would strike fear in the hearts of many (myself included):

Riot's too shy to let Hecarim spread his wings and truly flutter.


Riot could never allow such a truly outrageous skin in their game.

If you're playing for the level 6 kill though, you don't really need it as much.

why do people claim its unlikely to get another Q off?
you lead with Q, then tibbers then W and Q again as they run
not difficult
if you can't manage that for whatever reason just Q them once as you are charging up your stun instead of on a minion before you go for the kill


If you lead in with q, it's easily flashable due to travel time of q, and you telegraph yourself pretty obviously when you're walking forward with a stun. That's the main reason people lead with tibbers. Annie's stun is 1.75 seconds, if you're going in for the surprise flash kill, they're going to flash after R-Q-W, and you won't get the second q off, whereas if you max w, you'll do more damage and more likely to kill them after they flash with ignite on them and a parting auto thrown their way. If their flash is down, then it's a different story of course.


To be honest, burning your Q stun to "telegraph what you're doing" and getting a flash isn't terrible. If you know they might flash your Q stun, then just hold onto tibbers. If they don't flash and you still think they might, walk up and W. Then rinse repeat on next stun. Eventually, they will HAVE to flash. Then it's easy pickings.

you could also Q them at 3 stacks or w/e then flash onto them and tibbers/w for the stun in the middle and easily secure the follow up Q


Absolutely. You can do this even with W max.

One of the best feelings is getting ignite and one last auto as they flash away past their turret, and just barely grabbing the kill because of your ludicrous range.


And the skip back. Can't forget that, it's the best part! Whenever it happens to me, that skip reminds me of someone teabagging me in CS and how ashamed and dirty I feel.

Also, how is Worlds gonna work?
Top seeds of NA, CN, TW, KR all seeded into quarterfinals. It's safe to assume all regions get at least 2 seeds (and KR gets 3). So that leaves 2 * EU + 2 * KR + NA + TW + CN = 7 teams for the group stages, which doesn't really work unless it is a big round robin where they do bo2 and take the top 4. I would like that and I think it would be the fairest. As long as they make the bottom 4 places different prize money, there won't be any meaningless games.


I'm not sure if anyone ever answered you but I was told that Riot is going to have a big LAN with 1 team from each of the non-sanctioned regions playing for the final worlds spot. IIRC, one team from Turkey, one team from Brazil, one team from South America, and one team from Australia.


They did, but thanks!

@soniv I am glad you did. It was awesome reading all that. The discussion really helped me shape how I should be approaching building champions. I was very much a cookie cutter lol player before I left for the peace corps. Hovered around 1100-1200 Elo and I am interested to see if 9 months of reading TL LoL (and not playing) can raise my Elo in a 2 week span (vacation wooooo). It's like taking a 24/7 class on League of Legends strategy and improving with fun break times for pokemon and assorted derails.

@Asn thanks for being a n00b Annie! I am too, but hopefully after this I won't be haha.

This has probably been discussed in previous threads, but can someone help me in listing weaknesses of Jayce as a champion? Not how to beat him, but weaknesses in his kit/playstyle? I'm very convinced he has pretty much all the tools anyone could possibly need, other than he cant heal (so theres's one, I guess).
