Yeah, that's what he's talking about. If I were to use RP, I'd get new champs that are bundled with skins.

 

Is there a collective list of LoL names somewhere? I'm ZEAL92 on LoL.

 

Go to League of legends shop to the 'bundles' tab. There is Gamer's choice pack, Digital collectors pack and Champions bundle. Check those out. They are a lot more RP-effective than buying champs separately


And, you might get RP by some strange way, like winning some contest, but really, if you want it, you need to buy it

Yup, I was going to wait for him even before Hec got released and was mediocre but I'm happier now that I did.

BSuperB: Save the RP for the really nice brand spanky new champions, unless you lose practically every single match its fairly easy to get up IP to buy them.

 

Fair enough, thanks for the recommendations then, I'll have a look at the champion bundles later on, think I'll just try & get to grips with things with Ryze for now then and see if there's other champions I want later. Won't really get the chance to play till mid May anyway so, a few practise games here or there.

Not that I can see anyone wanting to play but my ID is: relddiR ehT - No, I don't kno what I was thinking.

 

If you were on the nordic & east server I would be more than willing to help you learn the game. I'm not pro by any means, but decent enough and at least I play for fun and don't ever rage

 

Amumu and Sejuani. Been trying them out but they feel real similar in damage and ganking ability. Whats your opinions on these two champs?

 

Sejuani is usually fairly fucking awful every time I've played against her, I've never played her myself but even on the squishiest characters I've always smacked a Sejuani around with my eyes closed and I'm barely over beginner level so take that for whatever its worth.

Ammumu however with a fragment of skill behind him and proper gear choices is an utter nightmare. The solitary character that gives me more trouble than an Ammumu is Dr. Mundo and it makes no difference what I play.

By the way, fuck Dr. Mundo. Fuck him so much.

 

Gah. Speaking of mundo, there was a fed junglemundo in the last game I played. SO MUCH ANNOYANCE.
Took 4v1 or 5v1 and multiple ignites to take him down D:

 

I've never had big problems with Mundo's except ages ago in 3v3 and with some junglers that start slowly. Just got to be careful and dodge dem cleavers and coordinate ignites/other heal reductions on his ulti.

Amumu is a real pubstomper though. Destroys uncoordinated teams like tryndamere does, but a team on skype/whatever can usually nullify the threat decently.

Top Warwick is like the bane of my existence. If I decide to go top, I always fucking face that warwick there, and my favoured top choices are quite frankly shit against him. Only Kennen and GP seem to do well for me against him...


And Tristana is like the best char in the whole game. I love playing her, be it AD carry, hybrid or AP. A total blast. And the AD Carry version is one of the strongest endgame chars when built correctly, and can do shit even when team is derping around mainly due to the godlike range.

 

Well, I don't play Amumu(and haven't yet), but I have played Sejuani a fair bit. While their damage values may appear roughly similar, there are some key differences in their abilities.

For primary initiation, Amumu tags a target with Bandage Toss, and stuns them... but he has to hit the target. Not necessarily a problem, circumstantially, but worth noting. Sejuani simply has to dash in, but while she doesn't stun, she does do aoe damage, and can both reach a target and cross walls(to escape too!) without needing to tag a target first.

After that, W/E for both of them under a standard build, will probably do similar damage, although it's worth noting that Sejuani's E will do damage to all targets struck by her initiating-Q/Ult/Auto-attacks, and her W will do 50% more to the same. That, and her E will trigger a three second heavy slow.

The real kicker is their Ultimates. Amumu's Q->R combo into a team can be devastating, but can also sometimes be readily avoided by the majority of the enemy team if it's out in the open, as well as only being a snare rather than a stun. The radius is reasonably large though, and it lasts for two seconds.
Sejuani's can be thrown as an initiator similar to Amumu's Q, giving a team less time to react, and she doesn't have to be in the middle of an enemy team to use it properly.(sometimes it's explicitly better to use it at range, as I have missed nearly pointblank on a few sparing occasions due to someone barely shifting to the side... and often not specifically to dodge) It's an actual stun, albeit for two seconds to the primary target, and only one second for others in range. The range is long, and the explosive radius is moderate. That, and she can pop her E for extra burst at range while continuing the CC, as well as simply Q/W/E into the stunned enemy formation.

------

Obviously, I'm a bit biased towards Sejuani since I've played her, and I do hear about lots of people playing her badly... but isn't that reason enough to do well? If nothing else, people are more used to Amumu and better at anticipating his actions, which could perhaps give a Sejuani player a slight edge.

 

I think Sejuani ganks are stronger for sure. Her skillshot dash/slow is approximately mumu's bandage, except if you miss you are still in the appropriate vicinity, plus its about 5x as wide for landing the hit. And she can compete with him for teamwide CC, but his damage is much more significant in the teamfighting phase, and his ulti is easier to use effectively.
Amumu also jungles slightly faster, and remains much more relevant in the late game. Also, he allows for much better dragon/baron control with his tears (there is no damage cap like other % based abilities).

Mundo is very strong in the jungle. He has absurdly strong clearing, constant slows for ganks, and high damage independent of items, which allows him to go pure tank. He's a very strong duelist in the jungle as well, and his durability from his ult makes early oracles extra easy for him. However, dodging his cleaver makes his gank useless so just aim for that.

Warwick isn't that strong. He's certainly much better than his old version (myst knows how I felt about old warwick), but he's still meh. If your lanes lose to a stronger jungler's pre-6, you are going to be hard pressed to bring them back to par from the jungle as warwick. As a top laner, you are a one trick lifesteal pony, and pretty much anyone can grab some sustain and never die to you, because your damage is rather low. He is one of the stronger late game bruisers in a 1v1 situation, but there are two dozen characters I would rather put top.

And yes, Tristana is amazing. Not as strong as kogmaw, but much better at the carry role when you don't have an organized team to protect you.

 

I can speak from experience as well, being relatively new, that Tristana is perhaps the easiest AD Carry in the game to learn. That Q just makes her so strong when you need that damage output and her W makes it easy to escape any sort of gank. Her ult is equally good for ensuring an escape or, if you are feeling confident, a W -> R combo, jumping behind them and busting them under your turret. Best feeling ever, sort of like doing the same sort of thing with Alistar or Blitz or Skarner.

 

I do monstrously bad with Tristana. Not sure why, but somehow, even if I don't feed and farm moderately well, i will always lose a game as Trist. In general, I can't play an carry but Kassadin, so I guess it makes sense. Maybe I don't understand how to itemize as a carry or something.

 

Assassins like Kassadin and a lot of casters are all about get a kill with burst and then get out.

Tristana and Ad carries in general are all about hit what you can when you can, prioritize what is in range over what is the "smartest" target. Your main goal is to live, second goal is to get kills.

 

I hate playing against warwick. His initiate post-six is just so monstrously strong that it punishes even the slightest bit of risk taking when it comes to positioning. Add onto that his quick and/or safe jungling time, and his ability to become nigh unstoppable the later the game becomes and... yeah.

It just seems like every time there is one on the enemy team they set their sites on me in some sort of hate-filled blood feud. Because even when I'm not the best person to ult, they always seem to focus me first. No matter if I'm AP, AD, Tank, Etc etc.

So I always get burst down and destroyed before I can do shit.. and I always end up looking and feeling useless.

 

Buy a Quicksilver Sash, laugh at Warwick.

 

Yup, that's what the plan is. Heh.

 

I think I've played with him a few times in a game session with Jon, and maybe TSN when they were trying to show me the ropes. I remember getting shit in chat, but honesty it was because I clearly didn't know wtf I was doing, and I was open to learning. Shit could've been phrased better, but I was the newbie, in what was basically their world, so I let it go.

I've said here several times I've given up playing with some guys, because stuff like getting behind on CS or pushing an inch too far, or "feeding" because no one is calling MIAs and we get stuck fighting 3 tower diving at lvl 2 fucks on bottom lane the entire laning phase, isn't worth getting screamed at. I've had several horrible games recently with Shezza, and one with tragicmat where we just got wtf owned. We shrugged it off, said fuck it we just played bad, or we were on some shitty matchups and we continued on. We had fun with it, we tore some shit up, but we got rolled. It's a game, not life or death, and we're there to have fun with each other, not to win money or prizes. So chill and have fun, relax guys, no need to go crazy if your team winds up playing like shit.

I love how I can spent dozens of hours on the Masterlist of Gamertags, and half the people here will never go look at it

As for the bundles, I bought the Digital Collector's edition. It's like 30 bucks, with the RP you get back effectivley like 20 bucks, and very, very worth it.

Amu can be a beast. Sej... everytime I've played a game and she was there, with the only exception being when Fen plays it, she feeds like a goddamned soup kitchen. And even Fen has had games where he's does fuck all with her. I just don't care for the champ at all.

Tristana is who I learned with, love that girl.

 

Tristana is good but I cant stand fighting her, its not hard to DPS her down but that little jump escape to get away from me with a fragment of health is so fucking annoying >.<.
