Discuss (and troll, please). Usually see it only against Shen. Forces him under tower constantly so he has to run away to ult and doing so risks him losing tower.

Morgana's E prevents CC. Leona likes to jump in and CC people. It's possible to shield the target while she's jumping in. Leona's only use is applying her passive and AAing people.

Ok, I thought that Leona's mr and gap closer would be a pain in the ass for Morg.

e on to morgana, if she spell shields herself ult her carry and walk up to it and q it. if she shields her carry you just unload on morgana. you faceblock her q from hitting your carry and you win every trade no matter what because you are doing triple her damage and applying sunlight.
i dont see how morgana counters leona at all. you just dont play like a derp and her shield is meh.

Morg's ult completely destroys Leona's intiation tbh.

Man I just spent an entire game wondering why Frozen Mallet is so expensive when I already had a Phage and Giant Belt only to realize that it doesn't use Phage anymore.

If you are to dump 3k gold in mid/late-game you're gonna sit on stupid items (pick-axe or vamp scepter, tiamat and then hydra) where you could just buy LW. I know Renekton's Slice and Dice give arpen, but i don't see it being big enough to not want LW as well for late-game, which means you gotta dump another 2300g before you can get the full potential of your hydra. By rushing it in lane, where it's more suitable to sit on rejuv+pickaxe+scepter or similar, you get a strong power-curve with your base stats and abilities (level 2 ultimate with hydra is devastating). You are snowballing, you are ahead in experience and base-stats so you're more tanky just by that and you don't need additional defenses yet.
Once you get tiamat, you largely lose your ability to control where the wave of minions is at a given time. This is a pretty big deal in a lot of situations, which is why I do not generally like rushing hydra.
That being said, someone getting tiamat/hydra first against Shen doesn't really shock me. Another example where I feel it is appropriate early is against Trundle, because he has no way of counterpushing aside from autoing all day long, so its easy to just shove him to tower repeatedly and deny him a lot of farm and get an early tower that way (or just keep him glued to tower while your team invades the enemy jungle).

That's very true, though i still feel she has the greater advantage against both ^^ Show nested quote +On November 15 2013 21:07 Alaric wrote: How does Lulu beat Thresh and Zyra? I mean, I don't see her outpoking Zyra, and she can't harrass as well because less range, so I'm wondering. I can see her ult stopping Zyra from getting a kill of an ER combo, but long range typically annoys Lulu because of W's low range and Q being hard to hit from afar since it's slow, so as long as you don't pair Zyra with someone like Vayne, I have trouble seeing Lulu managing to play aggressively.
As for Thresh, it may be because I have absolutely 0 idea about which support beat him and how they do it, Flay pretty stronk. The extended E is what makes or breaks the lane. When playing against Thresh, he can't go into poke range with the extended range due to his E, without taking an E in return. This means three things: a) You have full vision of him, even when going into brushes, making it extremely difficult for Thresh to land surprise hooks b) You can, with much training, hit thresh and his ADC with your Q forcing them to play safer and also force thresh to do nothing c) If Thresh decides after the poke to go in, fucking W that piece of shit and rape him in the mouth For Zyra some of the same rules applies, though your W is pretty much useless. The biggest factor to beating zyra is dodging the root, and i find that very easy (and like Thresh she cannot make surprise roots if you keep vision and punish with E when she goes for root -> plants). Oh and as general rule of thumb for skill-orders you can do something like this: Many shields, many hue's: QEQW or QEWQ into R > Q > E > W AP heavy combo with someone like hecarim, rumble, vladimir: QEQW or QEWQ into R > Q > W > E
Why are these supports that beat you in trades and all ins giving you brush control?

Because they don't beat you in trades. ~~
Edit: at least early game.

In season 2 cloth+pots was a common start on weaker or low level junglers. There is no real purpose to it now due to the prevalence of good leashing practices and Hunter's Machete.

Except if they're playing it right you can't just E onto Morgana because she'll be standing behind her ADC and you'll take a fistfull of autos trying (and failing) to get in range. Morgana doesn't even need to be up with her ADC since the range on her spells is so long, and she doesn't need to auto harass.

No. Also why are you jungling Garen? Jungling Garen real terror. Garen coming out of bushes where he shouldn't be, is true terror. Funnily enough, was watching Dyrus stream (this was back in S2), my RL friend was jungler on other team. Dyrus randomly opens the score menu, and he's like "wtf why is jungle garen legendary?" Anything works in solo queue.

what are you going to build out of cloth?
