League of Legends: I Play Thread 2 as a Jungler

[Rikushadow5]

I'm going to be doing a Series of posts on philisophical drivel on the LoL Forums over the next few days.

After thinking about it too hard, the only thing that bugs me about the Trundle rework (as someone who has never played him) is that the name/visual/description change to his passive, ultimate, and quite possibly his W makes it out that being a king of some trolls is, like, a power source for him. It pushes my suspension of disbelief in a way that being a constantly rotting-and-regenerating pile does not.

Otherwise, absolutely fine with everything else. Spending some time with the new ARAM as you would, learning some new champs along the way.

It's interesting how the ARAM queue has created a different culture from the custom games. In customs, people like to grandstand and go for kills/full builds, while in the official queue, people actually care about closing the game out. There's also more ragers, but everyone else just laughs at them.

[acrylicBloodlust]

Haven't noticed any ragers in ARAM, except for this Poppy player one time that kept saying 'fail noob' to our team. }}}:/

[Flamerider64]

And when a team mate blames your poor performance when ideally that could be attributed to the poor team comp you randomized? Yeah, maybe that isn't so cool.

I had a pretty angry player who kept flaming me yesterday everytime someone on my team died or someone on the opposite team didn't, but I think he was just a little frustrated that I didn't want to trade Gragas with him in champ select.

Which is a feeling I can totally empathise with.

Recently had a game of ARAM where I was a put as Tristana. For the hell of it, I decided to try AP on her (I didn't like it that much but it was okay). Anyways, there was a Volibear on the enemy team who did nothing but spam laugh and taunt us in All chat. I ignored him of course, but I can honestly say that that was one of my more satisfying wins in my LoL career.

Wasn't me. I still haven't tried Howling Abyss.

HOWEVER, I have procured interesting data. You can kill Poros for 4g each.

KILL ALL POROS
MUST RICE HARDER

do they give chogath HP
because that's pretty good sustain

[Siegmundfried]

Just had fun game with Leona where I got a double kill under enemy Nexus turret simply by using her W-E-Q combo, getting them to attack me, activating Randuin's Omen and let my minions pummel them to death while I just tanked like crazy, even though I did barely any damage to them myself outside of a Sunfire Cape. Made up for an otherwise meh game, though me and my Ms. Fortune carry tore through bot lane stupid fast.

[DHL]

Tried ARAM three times to see what poros look like. Got Vikings 3 times. And someone dropped every time.
And I'm in lv15 where everyone says to save up for T3 runes. Should I buy more heroes or save for runes like other people?

[Primate]

T3 runes are honestly pretty necessary at level 30. I would definitely recommend prioritizing those once you hit level 20.

[Cinderthief]

After much hardship, I have finally found the perfect strategy for ARAM.

... Speaking of Poros...

> Try out Darius while he's free
> Score a triple dunk in my first game with him

I'm going to have fun with him while I can.

[Flamerider64]

I rolled Darius in ARAM. I don't think I'm cut out for this dunking stuff.

Especially when the enemy team has Kayle, Tryndamere, and Sivir, and don't actually die when I ult on them at low health.

[dynamicEquilibrium]

As a Darius player, Darius is the most easymode no-counterplay champion in the game hands-down
Sure, he can be beaten, but anytime someone makes a mistake you can instantly pounce and destroy them

Once I carried a game as him with regular 2k ping spikes
I play other tops just so I don't feel like my wins are undeserved

[The Composer]

Leauge of Legends is THE SHIT. I have no idea how many hours I've logged. But there's at the very lease 2-3 weeks of my life in terms of hours. Mind you, I'm not that good, but it's playing with friends that makes it all worth it.

I'm ThexComposer on NA if anyone's interested. I roll pretty much anything except top lane, but I do my best work on Support.

[Terracotter]

I'm on NA and my summoner name is Carolus Wrecks. Generally you can find me maining these champions: Volibear, Veigar, Vayne, Varus, Fizz, Riven and Kha'Zix. That's all that I can recall at the current time. But I know that Kog'Maw is making is why up onto that list. I love me them creatures of the void. Except Cho'Gath. He annoys me and I just can't get into playing him his Battlecast skin is cool, tho. but I don't need it since I already have Mecha Kha'Zix C:

KEEP IN MIND I'M NOT ALL THAT GOOD THO

[dynamicEquilibrium]

So the new Nunu

My first impression is that he's really ridiculously strong now. All three of the monster buffs are really nice, the damage is noticeable, the +10% hp is pretty huge in the midgame, but I think the breakout star is Mystery Meat, which seems weak enough, but it turns Consume into an escape spell (excellent since you already use consume to heal when you get attacked) and lets you chase down enemy laners by consuming their minions. Nunu's play pattern is pretty much unchanged (tear jungle to shreds, run around at 800 miles per hour ganking, kill everyone by just autoattacking with constant slows), but the buffs are trivial to acquire and make him a lot stronger when ganking, plus the extra damage on consume makes it even more of a kill jungle button. Also I haven't played him since they reworked Spirit of the Spectral Wraith, but the reduced smite cooldown is just bonkers with cdr and Q.

[Primate]

I really like how they handled the nunu stuff. They gave his jungling some much-needed love in an interesting way, and they began nerfs on lane nunu before it became a widespread annoyance like AP Trynd.

Question: can nunu stack monster buffs, or is he only allowed one at a time?

[dynamicEquilibrium]

he can have all 3

basically you get all 3 up all game long: consume has a 15 second cooldown, and they last 2 minutes
lizard buff comes only from buff camps because there are no other lizards, but the other two are easy to keep on

[Hatman Hatmyth Hatlegend]

I want to play this somewhat. Out of all the genre it's the one with the least irritating mechanics I find, but I just can't handle the community and no one I know plays it.

So, really, how do you deal with the community? 'cause I'm more of a guy that'll just stick with the current game, then exit program and never log in again.
