Minions are low enough to be last hitted by Tornado when they're mid-life.

"AP Janna is ok, the thing is that most AP's have at least three amaging abilities that scale with AP for a better burst, and the very best of them (Swain, Brand, Cassiopea) have all four. Otherwise she's good, but her bigger shield/better ult will still be more useful as a support than as AP."

That's why I find that pretty stupid when people say "Janna mid" once the game has begun... she may be unexpected, and she will probably hold her lane well, but she hasn't the burst of a Brand or the harass of Cassiopeia which is kinda annoying in most of the games, you'll need some good ganks to kill. She is so more powerful in support... though it's pretty easy to go to mid when you've the advantage on your lane and gank well if the lane is a bit push and your ally has a pretty good DPS. So she could probably be pretty efficient in mid, but she lack of dps compared to the other mid, which is kinda annoying to take advantage.

Isn't there a South America server ?

There isn't a south-american server. That's why there is a lot of brazilian people on the US servers too xP.

And yeah, I only mid Janna when there are no other good options.

Btw, time to brag a bit





Today was a great day for me in this game ^^

Wow, you should have took PI bonus o,O :p

I also thought about some Blitzcrank builds. (don't mind about health regen / 5, it's about 100 but there's a bug with the masteries) ;

It's pretty insane in late game with his shield. This champ is really fun to play. ^-^

I had my first game in a long time the other day where the jungler cost us the game.
Jungle Shyvana.
I never like blaming it on one person, but that's just how it was... they f****d up the beginning, and it was just hell from that point.
The other team had a jungle Xin Zhao who obviously mained jungle... then our Shyvana was the last to pick in draft pick and we had all already requested positions, but we confirmed with the Shyv that they could do a decent job jungling. (S)he assured us.

...

I was solo top Garen against a Cho. I love going solo top Garen because of dat passive. Take too much damage? That's okay, just fall back a bit to the turret and CS and let that passive kick in. I usually build tanky Garen when I'm solo top, but Cho would obviously get more tanky... He killed me once because of stupidity on my part (it was one of those things where we both did massive damage to each other, but one person ends up immediately killing and the other one waits for a spell or ability or a minion to die...) I hadn't done enough damage for him to die and he got away before more minion aggro affected him.
Anyways, so our Shyv was being a s**t jungler; 10 min in and she's level 4. She tries to gank solo top for me when I'm level 9 or 10 and Cho is as well... not only that, but she has half health. So I'm like, "What the hell?" I don't get another gank because she's too busy trying to get XP in the jungle and catch up to Xin, who is consistently 4 or 5 levels ahead. (When he ganks, he doesn't let the lanes get the kill, which is kinda dumb on his part.)
So la-di-da-di-da... no ganks and we start to die because Xin is fed and provides pro ganks.

Surrender at 20.

And we were all level 30. I have decent ELO, and so does the person I was playing with.
I don't understand random matchmaking. I love playing with people I know, but unfortunately it's not always an option. (We were a group of 7 and me and the other guy duo queue'd while the others had a full team.)

Just started playing a week ago and love it. I still kind of suck at it but according to my brothers im learning fast. So far my favorite characters are Veigar and Ryze (only tried AP characters so far)

Yeah, it takes a lot of practice.
Why do you have the new Amumu splash art as your avatar if he's not one of your favorites? lol
I've had Malz as an avatar before.

Playing with people I know is the only way to win for me. -.-"
Yesterday we said we were botlane premade in the champ select. Okay, we're second pick, one of the two random who was fp picks Varus. From this point it was already lost. However I was top against Cho with Kayle, botlane gave one kill to Cho (...) but still I went out of the lane with 200 cs, invaded their red, dodged Shen's gank four or five times so I though it was okay... Until the teamfights. My mates had a really good focus on the carries, I was dealing a lot of damages and everything... but Varus and the other were focusing Cho and Shen. At each teamfight. 3v5 ftw. And no wards from the support while we couldn't buy it, obviously.
Whether I play as solotop or as support, even if we're winning the lane or being ex-æquo, the randoms won't follow at engages and we will fail teamfight...

Started playing this game again after quitting a year or so. Level 21 right now. But I came here because I wanted to complain about the community. EUW is a horrible place. Especially if you're not all that good. Like said before, I realise I make errors.. you don't have to remind me of them every 5 seconds. It's either that or not having the playstyle they want to see. Doing things your way is a bad way, it must be their way. I've got an NA account as well but the ping is just too high to play there (200+ ms).

So basically I ignore all the players in every game because I can't stand the bitching. And the 1/10 game that actually has nice players will have bad luck then with me not communicating.

I really love the game otherwise though. It's awesome. I mostly play Ashe because I love her, Ezreal is a cool dude as well. And the Hextech Jenna skin I got must be used sometimes as well. Because 'o dem titties. I just love the art they got behind all the skins you can buy in the store. Such a shame the skins themselves aren't that beautiful.

Anyone in EUW that wants to add me, please do. I won't ignore you, unless you're a dick. But hey, for all I care you might find me an as*hole. Rudicuul is my in-game name.

I recently was asked by a friend if I wanted to play league of legnds. I said yes, but the learning curve looks extremely sharp and like it'd take w hile of experimenting to get good at the game. Does anyone have some tips before I start playing? I usually like to use warrior characters with strong spells with highr attack than defense.

Game looks very fun when you get the hang of it

I can give you some tips:

1. The learning curve is vicious. You'll want some degree of confidence you'll actually care to play the game regularly cause getting to the point where you're even decent takes a lot of work.
2. Play bots until level 20 or so, and make sure you're familiar with at least 75% of the heroes and most of the items before going to human opponents. Don't fret about knowing each champion to a T, but be at least familiar with their main abilities.
3. Pick a champ and learn a build. It's not hard to find builds online, just google the champ name and "builds". Get good at this champ, and use it to "break into" the game. Once you're familiar with that champ and comfortable with it, pick another champ and do it again. Take advantage of the free weekly rotation to play all the champs a couple of times. By the time you're level 20, you'll have finished no. 2 above.
4. This game is very fun once you make it over the curve. Prepare to be addicted!

Well, I must say I started playing against human oponents since lv 1

The thing is, there will be other people as inexperienced as you on the other team, so it can be somewhat fair, unless you stumble upon a smurf, then it's pretty much a gorefest

There are general guides for playing on the internet, with good tips. Also, Shau is right at saying, pick a champ and learn his build. I remember I used Janna to get to lv 30, sometimes picking other champions, but in the end I was a very good Janna player. Now I've got a bit more variety in my repertoire, although I still very much prefer tanky characters with good CC.

I love LoL, but the community makes my head explode.

It really brings the worst out of people.

5. Learn to not care what people completely irrelevant to your life have to say.

Thank you for the tips. Another question: how amny characters can you have? I like having a few to cycle between for diferent styles/needs.

There are 100+ different characters. In the current meta-game there are five roles; AD Carry, Support, AP Nuker, Jungler and Tank, and it is advised to know how to play at least one champion in each role (Although personally I play mostly supports and tanks, but not many people like those roles so I have no problem. Everybody wants to get kills, so if you are willing to help other people get them, or protct the damage dealers in your team, you'll go a long way.)
