This guy explains it far better than I probably could. Of course, note that everything goes out the window once you start talking about things like people stealing plaintext databases, jacks an admin account (at which point they don't care about anyone else's account), phishing or just someone coming up to you with a 2x4 to beat you up for your password. But at that point I don't think anything is really going to save your password. Everything being said however, it is definitely recommended you change your password on NA if you have not already. Also, please don't use a password you already use elsewhere. If you have trouble thinking up passwords, this method is not bad (although please still use a bit of common sense when using it). If you absolutely have trouble with passwords, I have heard KeePass being mentioned before but have never used it nor can I vouch for it so take it for what you will. (Unless R1CH decides to drop in an vouch for it?) | ||

Before IBG was so good was because reliable slow, and shared sheen proc with triforce, but now that they created a separation with changes to fmallet, triforce + fmallet no longer redundant. Well the problem is that's a lot of gold spent on offensive items. FMallet has a ton of HP, but the build-up isn't great and provides no resists, which is problematic given the fact that Bork is often the go-to singular offensive item. I don't know if Triforce will outperform Bork on a 1 to 1 basis. On AD carries, that's too much gold spent on non-scaling stats. Besides, for poking with Ez Muramana/IBG is still probably better cause the aoe slow is just so strong. Then again, maybe the Triforce sheen proc buff will give it an edge. It's really too early to tell, but I suspect Triforce is still not going to be great in most cases. It might be good on Irelia/Jax and the old Trifroce users, but they're not exactly super popular atm and I highly doubt Triforce being changed will help them regain their popularity. Maybe in yolo q but not in competitive. | ||

Maybe in yolo q but not in competitive. Mostly talking about Ez. The most popular startup for ez seems to be dblade + tears, into manamune, into IBG DL's ez build is BT->Manamune->IBG I was thinking about something like triforce first into fmallet. The increased damage from sheen procs could handle part of the lull, not to mention since it builds out of pick axe now the build up isn't quite nearly as bad you make it out to be. It wouldn't be so different than the awkward glacial shroud build up for IBG. Or Triforce + LW into Fmallet. I just definitely think the go-to 6 item ez build includes fmallet+triforce. | ||

I read somewhere that you use programs that use common words, 2 numbers at the end, capital first letter and other similiar variables to hit the weaker passwords. | ||

I've heard jokes like "if we give him kills, do we call it welfare?" "typical black guy, stealing kills" "now i know why riot made him an AD carry...so he can buy life'steal'" And some guy in my one game suggested to make a burglar lucian skin. LOL oh god.....this is so terribly wrong. | ||

Faced another 3 ranged ADC/Onhit team a while before that with a Vayne Jungle Ashe bot Ez mid.. If you're the top or jungle, what do you do against that? Pick someone who can handle a ranged lane and try to get a Thornmail and build tanky? I feel like Thornmail is so strong but never used. | ||

Thornmail been seeing a lot of play recently actually. Usually pros get their SV (or BV) with sunfire+randuins, and finish it up with thornmail. | ||

I didn't know that. It's really decent when you do the math out assuming the enemy team is mainly autoattack reliant. I ended up playing Rengar because their team was so squishy and went 12-4 though. Assassins are definitely another way of dealing with this crap. | ||

I use the shifted letter thing, except my passwords are usually a few lines from a song. personally, I wouldn't rely on a method that relies on being unpopular for its security. If crackers really wanted to they could easily add "shift keys" as an option and it would barely slow the program down. This already happened with replacing letters in words with leetspeak -- once enough people started doing it, all the cracker programs now do it too, and it's mostly worthless as a password securing shortcut. EDIT: At this point I'd almost advocate generating strings of 12 random characters and just writing it down, lol. At least they'd have to break into your house to get it. You'd be surprised how fast muscle memory can learn something like 12 random characters -- you can shred your password once your muscles "get it". Obviously the password manager programs are probably the best way to go, though. | ||

Strong casters are also a good choice against them, like Lux, or Annie. | ||

Its also is a little hard to justify IMO. Only a tank is going to be building thornmail, and honestly, the AD is going to try and not hit the tank. Sure he'll attack you if you're the only one in range and it'll mitigate and reflect damage, though the enemy AD will probably lifesteal back most of it. Maybe as a final item against a very auto-attack based team, but kind of hard to justify otherwise. Randuin's is generally sufficient, and stacking a FH instead of Thornmail is generally more useful even against an auto-attacking team. Also, I've noticed that being a support main really affects the way I think about League. Like, I always think a lot about the cost of items (which is why I'm reluctant to build Doran's) and how they benefit the entire team. Then I play an AP mid and end with pathetic cs but like 4/0 coming out of laning phase because I'm always harassing and forgetting to CS. | ||
