I remember chu8 used to run AD malphite w/ Sword of the Divine, Hydra, and IE. If he hit ult it was a pretty much guaranteed kill on whichever champs go caught in it.

Yeah I used to do this on Aatrox too, it was fun. But since theres no SOTD anymore go IE Shyv its the best, pretty similar feeling to SotD Malp and Aatrox

Why is Nunu doing so well again?

Wasn't he like shit tier in winrates a month ago?
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Must just be based on variations in other champions and warding styles.

Nunu always sucks, just sometimes he synergizes with champs and counters them fairly well.

Nunu gets stupid tanky with cinderhuk + golem buff, and then with 3k hp (easy to achieve by midgame) he's getting an extra 30 dmg on autos (which actually matters at that point)

League is a competitive 5v5 game that encorporates aspects of many different computer game genres.

The core game objective is like chess but played in real time. You win when you get the other teams King. No player controls the king. Players control individual peices which have unique abilities like Knights and bishops while the computer controls the pawns.

When two players meet, the outcome is determined by a mix of player skill, and piece strength. When you win a meeting you get advantages which accrue and make it easier to win the next meeting. These advantages are in "levels" and "items". Levels scale up your piece in a predictable way while items let you customize how you advance.

Then you can talk the specifics like the board (lanes/jungle/towers) et al

Teams of 5 people each pick a character with special abilities and moments in the game when they're more or less strong. The goal is to destroy a building in the enemy team's base, you get inside from any of several paths where there are defensive buildings which must be destroyed first, one after the other.
They're stronger than the characters so players do actions that make their characters stronger until they can destroy them. You must generally defeat the enemy team (a character gets a timeout when he's KO'd so he can't help defend the buildings).

It can be compared to American football in terms of tempo, with teams preparing to attack or defend until the action is over, and either the attacking team is successful (usually by pushing deeper into building-less enemy territory) and keeps the initiative, or they fail and the roles are usually reversed (plus you win by basically entering the deep end of the enemy's side).

I think that's more or less how I'd sum it up to people.

I made her play Garen :D
Also, I don't think the American football comparison is gonna work, seeing she doesn't know what that is.

Edit: She also knows absolutely nothing about computer games whatsoever, besides minesweeper.

For some reason I can never win with Nunu, I'm not sure if it's just a luck based thing but whenever I pick it my solo lanes decide they want to die by themselves. I normally try to take the level 3 dragon which has a pretty good success rate and I can normally outpace the enemy jungler in terms of items but it doesn't end up mattering much.

I think the only Nunu game I won was playing top lane TP/Smite...

Handball maybe? Seeing how fast-paced it is "oh you didn't score [you lost the teamfight/dive]? Let's all rush your goal to try and take something!"

Teams of 5 compete on a map in real time using characters with various roles, spells and abilities, and (generally) use teamwork and coordination to take down various defensive structures to blow up the enemy team's base before they do the same to yours. Any deaths that occur in the game (to you, your allies, or the enemy) are temporary and earn you gold, which you use to buy items to keep you alive or help kill the enemy team and their structures faster.

The characters break down into three main roles: a front line (to take damage and protect your other team mates), some source or sources of damage (physical or magical), and a supportive role that helps the team out in some fashion (provides temporary vision, heals allies, etc.). These roles can mix and match, and not every team will be a balanced mix of front line, damage source, and support. Some teams will have lots of damage sources but very little front line. Others will be made up of mostly front line and supports and rely on a single character to deal most of the damage.

Whenever I explain competitive games of any sort I usually start by calling them a combination of chess, poker and "manual tasks" (requires precise and fast use of a controller). Then I'll add something like "Rock Paper Scissors" for fighting games, or "team sports" for team games.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.
