I just got Vlad, the nosferatu skin was too tempting since this was the last day for it. I have a good idea of how to build him mastery/item wise, but I was hoping you guys could give me a rune build for him.

At current I have MPen reds, no applicable yellows, flat CDR blues and MS quints. If I need health quints I could grab the halloween ones but I don't know how necessary that is really. A slight edge in ms has gotten me so many kills with Malz that I'd be hard pressed to change them.

Warmogs + Atmas dude

+ Show Spoiler +
Play AP Poppy, get sheen as early as possible as it is difficult to farm without it. Don't bother with Mejais though as you will be going 1 for 1 in most scenarios, though not all the time. Move Speed quints and Swiftness boots will help you close on your target, while your ult will give you immunity to most CC since you can only be effected by your target.

I run ghost and cleanse or flash and cleanse. DFG is a good item to get because it gives you an extra nuke to open with but I generally avoid it unless I'm facing a particularly beefy team as your normal burst is sufficient to drop your target.

Once you get Lich Bane your Q will be hitting for like 1100. Your goal is to pick the most fed / highest dps target and smack them in the face with your mace until they are dead then attempt to smack another target before getting focused down.

i'm not saying this is a bad build because i don't play yi and i don't really know BUT

one of the problems i see with it is that you're rushing a defensive item first, which is really really going to limit your dps early/mid-game. i know yi does get quite a bit of dps from skills alone but he needs at least 1 true offensive item to compliment that. and if you're going atma's impaler eventually, why don't you start with infinity edge? also, if you're going to rush a defensive item, rush the one that needs charges (warmogs), so you can charge it up before the game is over imo imo



in regards to poppy, i'm under the impression that although she can't *farm* well and can't really harass, if the other team engages you, poppy will win early. against any lane that doesn't have a heal, poppy will just output too much damage with Q early, not to mention a well-placed wall slam just ends people, AND her passive will protect you somewhat from too much burst. so if the other team is all on your junk just fight them *i think*

They're all defensive items though, it's a tank build.

edit - although personally I can't really see how that build would be any good. I've been out of the loop with this game for a little while, so unless anything has changed in the meantime, the only benefit to getting those items on Yi is to stay alive for a long time. You really wont (as gtrsrs said) be able to deal any worthwhile damage until you have atmas and even then, in the meantime you have no cc whatsoever.

it's not a very good game. most of these 1388 pages of posts are just complaints about the poor quality.

the UI is really confusing, even after i've played ~800 games. it's like, there's so much going on at once i never know what's happening!

on a scale of 1-10 for fun, i'd give it about a 3. it's really fun to troll your teammates and feed intentionally but not really fun to play the game as intended

it's technically free but the only way to be competitive in LoL is to buy skins with real money. skins give you a psychological advantage over your opponent which is really devastating.

at least the balance is really good! there's no OP champs or anything!!!

Currently 12 sign-ups

NOTE: You can still sign up. There are more than 10 spots. 10 was the minimum to have two actual teams.

OK guys, with the demise of Gozey, I'm going to (try to?) run a TL inhouse. Unlike Gozey, I'm going to try to mix things up a bit to keep things fun, since TL has a pretty diverse skill range. Sign up by November 12th, tournament on November 14th, 17:00 GMT (+00:00) 19:00 GMT (+00:00) (note: this will be after daylight savings ends, so it'll be 2pm eastern time; TL's time tag may currently imply 3pm eastern) (second note: moved 2 hours later so west coasters can play). Here are the rules:

Signups are individual. I will cut off at multiples of five. If I get 27 signups, the last two people to sign up will be dropped used as alternates.

PM me to sign up.

Teams will be auto-generated based on ELO to keep things even.

Series will be three games.

Game 1: Teams will draft from the week's free champions (10 free champs means no bans). You are drafting for the OTHER TEAM. In other words, you want to pick the worst, weakest, most unbalanced composition possible. Standard 1-2-2-2-2-1 pick order.

Game 2: Teams will take turns banning from the free champions, 1-2-1-1, with the team that lost game 1 going second (and getting 3 bans). This will leave 5 free champions remaining. Both teams will consist of these champions (mirror match).

Game 3: ARAM!

I'd like to use more than the free champs, but not everyone has everything, and keeping lists of who you can legally ban/force the other team to use based on who has what is too much of a hassle.

You won't be getting any unbiased criticism here in the LoL thread...but you're lucky cos' I play both (still do). I'd say both are worth investing your time in since both are games that reward skill (LoL more so than DotA, simply because you need less effort/skill to succeed in LoL than in DotA).

As a newbie totally new to LoL/DotA/HoN, however, I'd recommend playing LoL. DotA just isn't as newbie-friendly.

in lane you usually can't do much. i play her 9/0/21 ghost ignite mpen, mp5/lvl, flat cdr, health, dorans shield health pot. in any lane where you cant expect to get a kill, you just want to try to last hit, though you're gonna be terrible at it. use Q's to help last hit and try to stay around 80% health (if your health is getting too high, go get some last hits at the cost of some health).

if you can land a stun with E then go for it, otherwise it's usually not worth it to attack a champ. you can get a bit fancier against a melee opponent by watching the health of your own creeps and seeing when they're gonna go for a last hit, go smack them with Q. that kind of harass can actually work in the long run but it's rare that you'll get a lane where it's possible

before you get sheen, your mana pool is terrible, especially if you're lvl 6 and using R. so make sure to save mana if you want to kill someone. don't get addicted to hitting W to help your mobility when you're just messing around in lane.

imo sheen -> dfg -> lich bane is best build. every stat is useful. CDR is really good on poppy. your Q gets down to 2.4 sec and E 4.8 sec. considering E is a 1.5sec stun, you are usually guaranteed 2 Q's when you land E. when another E comes up (whether you can stun them with it or not) it will guarantee you melee range for a 3rd Q. 9/0/21 + flat CDR runes + DFG = 29.89%. blue elixir gets you to max CDR or if you can pick up golem obviously save some money there (you don't need the AP).

you dont need any offensive items outside of lich bane, dfg and maybe blue elixir in order to kill their carry/support. you will blow up anyone who isn't taking MR

just make sure to land your stun on whoever you want to kill. the only exception is if your team is at an advantage in a 4v4, then it's ok if you just chase someone away without actually damaging them much. ghost, W, R (R has huge range), DFG Q E ignite (banana grin as they go from full health to 20% in an instant), move in the direction you expect them to move when stun breaks, Q again, E Q. but most people will die from the 2nd Q and then you can go help your teammates or run away. your ghost should still be up. keep hitting W whenever it's off CD. and you can E on a minion or a champion without a disable in the direction you want to run, or stun the champion with the disable and run

Just curious, as I don't play Poppy, but how would Poppy do in the jungle? It seems like the fact that she has a poor time poking/farming in lane, but has a strong gank means that she might do well jungling.

You're saying LoL rewards skill more because you don't need skill to win.

Poppy is a poor jungler =(

My only gripe I've ever had with Poppy is I'm reliant on having a strong support lane partner if I ever want to see any farm in the duo lane.
