just played a game where I got an average amout of kills (7) and extra gold earned was 700, pretty nice but I miss the dot cause sometimes 1 spinning axe takes a creep to like 5 hp and usually you could rely on your passiv to finish it off, but I missed quite a lot of sloppy cs because of that. | ||

I've seen a bunch of AD run AS glyphs too, only gives 5-6% AS but they'll sit on 30 MR for the whole laning phase (or even game) so I know I can go all-out on them as Leona as soon as possible compared to their support with defensive masteries and flat MR runes for example, can make me take less wards in favour of pots and stuff to play more aggressively. Edit: when they have ambiguous lanes too, yeah. | ||

Best Tristana build : flat AP in masteries, AP/MPen page, doran's ring/2 pots opening. Always win all-in never not win all-in. Then build AD as usual. | ||

-mid running 25 flat AP runes (9 times out of 10 they'll also start Doran Ring) -whether certain champs (junglers, TF, Ryze) are running MS quints -whether their support is running gp5 quints, and how aggressive/squishy they're spec'd/runed -certain masteries are a big sign for how players play the champ, e.g. 21/9 vs 9/21 jungle Lee or 9/0/21 vs 21/0/9 TF A lot of this stuff you'll see just by clicking on the champion in lane, but this saves you some time. All of these, especially masteries and certain rune choices, affect your lane. Trades bot lane are very different if the other AD is 21/0/9 and support gp5 quints 0/9/21 compared to AD 21/9 and support with AD reds HP quints 1/13/16, for example. You should always check opponents' level 1 MS, AD/AP, armor, MR, items, and masteries. If their stats are lower than normal you can assume some combination of regen/penetration runes (now you lolnexus). | ||

I totally coined that after seeing Dan Dinh do it on Master Yi Hopefully it will still work on him after the remake, Xypherous says they are still experimenting with his AP ratios (and which abilities to put them on) edit: Xypherous's post: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=38880015#38880015 this dude is my favorite designer at Riot -- always analyzes changes from every possible angle | ||

Most times people run standard stuff, which is nice to know, but there are always things you want to check at the start of a game: -mid running 25 flat AP runes (9 times out of 10 they'll also start Doran Ring) -whether certain champs (junglers, TF, Ryze) are running MS quints -whether their support is running gp5 quints, and how aggressive/squishy they're spec'd/runed -certain masteries are a big sign for how players play the champ, e.g. 21/9 vs 9/21 jungle Lee or 9/0/21 vs 21/0/9 TF A lot of this stuff you'll see just by clicking on the champion in lane, but this saves you some time.

If their stats are lower than normal you can assume some combination of regen/penetration runes (now you lolnexus). I just don't see how any of that really matters at any play except top level. There are just too big holes in peoples play to exploit that the tiny advantages you can gain by knowing this information is almost irrelevant. That's my view at least. It's trying to squeeze out the tiny advantages when you can focus on the much bigger ones and get a larger reward. | ||

Till the day you assume that guy is running ArPen since he has little bonus AD and you hit a crit during your first trade. | ||

I sometimes run AD/lvl reds on Corki since his rockets and passive don't scale with arpen -- at level 1 it just looks like I'm only running AD quints | ||

It's trying to squeeze out the tiny advantages when you can focus on the much bigger ones and get a larger reward. I don't follow...what's NOT good about knowing this? Knowing you can't outrun their TF/Ryze is a huge deal, as is knowing when someone is running a setup specifically set to all-in you pre-6 in lane. Most of the time this stuff doesn't matter (I mean, just about every AD runes the same setup with minor changes) but sometimes it does. What other "big picture" advantages with bigger rewards are you thinking of, that's not how to properly lane against your opponent in the first 5min of the game? I'm only Gold but I still think about these things, and runes/masteries definitely affect lane trades and all-in potential. I guess your point was that you should focus on playing better, which I agree with 100%, but I'm saying that lolnexus gives you a free look at what to prepare for in a lane, before the game even starts. | ||
