Going to try out Top Maokai as I really don't have a tanky top besides Malph/Nasus, who can both fall into a lot of bad matchups.

Just going to assume considering his passive, going flat HP yellows and Quints are probably ideal on him? And maybe MR blues and MPen reds?

Ever since Kha'Zix lost his damage reduction on his ult, I think I've gone something like 1-9 on him, I just can't seem to be good with him anymore, like I'm either not getting resets or not doing enough damage with him. I've tried W first builds, E first builds, etc., and nothing just seems to work.

Just play him like a poke champ in teamfights. Just spam w until you see reasonably low target you can reset on.

I run AP Quints, MPen/ARpen reds, MR blues and Armor yellows.

Actually, wouldn't armour yellows be better because he has natural sustain?

not that it's really applicable for most people, but i think this piglet replay starting W on miss fortune does a decent job of illustrating why pros use attack speed runes.

Pretty impressive how at 4.10, he moves in front of a bunch of purple ranged minions to trade agressively, and barely takes any minion aggro in return. How?

nobody is questioning AS quints considering they are worth way more than AD from gold perspective its just the fact they use 4 extra AS glyphs, why 4 and not 5 or 9 then ?

1) flat armor yellows,

2) MF has VERY high base stats.

Maokai's sustain is %HP, so he gets as much EHP from HP as from resistances, contrary to lifesteal or something like Shyvana's passive.

In my last games I've had spells not hitting people though the models clearly collide, and minions my auto kills (not living with a pixel of HP then a mage minion finishes it off) not credit me gold. Wtf's going on Riot? ><"

Just had a game where I went 13/0/17 on Vi. She's definitely not one of the fotm junglers right now, but if you know how to play her, she's pretty good.

Just wait till Trist knocks you away during your ult, or you try to run from that Kha'Zix using Q and because he's right behind you you hit him somehow instead of dashing over that wall and die for it.

Did he not take damage, or not take aggro? If you're in range of the minions but your target is out of their aggro range, they won't attack you.

Just like towers in order to take agro both people (the attacker and the attacked) need to be in range of the minions. Twitch wasn't close enough.

Listen, as a Vi main, I can't tell you the number of times I've had Trist shoot me back with her ult while I'm ulting, or me getting CCed mid-ult by a Syndra or Lissandra, or DYING mid-ult and STILL having the ult finish (ie., lift into air + ground pound) even if the ult doesn't deal its damage.

Or how her full power Q will go over the wide wall on blue side wraiths into mid (near the turret) but won't go over wide wall on purple side wraiths into mid (near the turret), even though the map is supposed to be symmetrical (mostly).

Or how sometimes you'll be able to Q - AA - E (W passive proc) when you only right click your target once, but other times you only get Q - E.

Probably the dumbest bug I had happen was I was trying to Q away from a Leona, she Zenith Blade'ed onto me as I let the charge go. The E misses my model (she aimed where I was at) but because my hitbox is still in that area the Blade connects. She is pulled along like she is supposed to, lands onto me, all the while the Q channel hits her and throws her in front of me, stopping my movement and her model blocks me from moving for .1 seconds, which is long enough for the Vayne behind her to Q - AA - E me into the wall and kill me.

She is a strong champion, but damn if she doesn't have a TON of bugs, most of them on her Q and ult.

Are you sure about the wraiths' wall thing? Since it's a straight dash, she can't jump big walls the way Kass/Ez/Fiddle do (or you "extend" wards), and sometimes you won't pass some walls because you're going diagonally, so even if the wall isn't thick enough by itself, with the angle the amount you have to go through is wider than your jump length.

Been maining Vi till seeing too many Ziggs/Tristana/Lulu/Thresh every team every game made her a liablity more than anything else (plus she isn't strong lategame anyway, unless you've got a bursty comp vs a non-disengage comp). Then again I've switched to Nautilus and his Q shares some bugs with hers (typically what you described with Leona; no need to dash though, just standing behind or to the side, as the hitbox doesn't start in front of them like it should) and I can't pick him early because I have to make sure my team has the common sense of not picking low damage champs afterwards (or Vayne when we have Morgana and they have Lucian+Lulu, that guy was adamant he'd win 'cause he "only had to farm" what a moron ><").
Since stuff like Ahri and Zed becomes popular again, I guess if Tristana is banned and they don't have Thresh or Nami for the disengage I can pick her. On the other hand after having more Nautilus' Q glitch out than work properly (friggin' anchor is inside the wall/the enemy champion's model, why the heck don't I get pulled) I'm wary of having the same happen with hers.

Worlds starts thursday. the finals themselves are sunday 19 oct

There are roughly 3 parts in the world. US/EU/Asia. You can only be on in any sort of sensible time for 2 of those. In this case its EU and Asia so yes the US gets screwed a bit.

http://www.esportswtf.com/ didn't see this here, sorry if already posted, nice site to keep track of LCS players in soloQ. For now it looks like Rekkles and Froggen are closest to joining Hai in challenger. Also Soaz definitely most creative when it comes to summoner names XD

Not really. I'm pretty sure that Twitch is using them too, it isn't a new trend, and W active gives literally 10 times the benefit of 4 AS glyphs.

Nope. Yesterday same thing, I've actually take every time, I was like 10-2 in mid game and we still lost. Can't carry with Lee, I suck.

I think the actual solution is to play a different jungler.

I think my move to east coast might let me catch the games. Pretty much have to sleep at like 8pm, wake up at 5 and then watch til it's over at work if I can.
