If you use Q correctly you should be getting free hits on shyvanna since level 2 and onwards. Use harpoon if she comes in close.
You can win trades drastically at level 4 and on.

Maokai is not a good jungle pick overall atm due to having much better junglers as options. He's good, but the more common picks are picked due to having the same abilities sort of but being much more effective with them.
Vi > Mao > WW for example is a general idea.
They all have attributes to them that are good in their own right but vi is much more versatile and can fit many more builds, team-comps and positions optimally than say ww can.

Zakkers used to be heavily defensive minded due to him having a strong emotional bond with the character (personal reasons) so he does not play -at all- like me because he feels sad at rumble's death.
I on the other hand will dive a tower while ahead to kill the enemy to deny them 5 cs almost always.

Armguard I get on my first back almost always.
Negatron is not expensive at all and you can also get that on your first back if you desire.
Armguard being a better choice because it gives armor and ap so it's much more flexible as well as defending not only from AD champs but creeps and towers as well.

It 100% relieves jungle pressure. Where do you think he's not being when he is in your lane for 15 waves?
Where is your jungler for those 15 waves?

If the answer is the guy camping a 0/5 rumble worth little gold is outshining your jungler then the answer is you have a terrible jungler.

Well this was a glorious moment.

I am support Leona. We are ahead; and the enemy goes for a desperation baron. Morgana is taking blue buff and getting ready to b [We are blue side]; but I ping for assistance and she follows me. I trusted this Morgana; because she had been playing excellently all game.

We show at Baron as I put a 2nd ward down [The one already there about to expire; they didn't clear it]. Naturally; the entire enemy team barrels at us as soon as they see it's only two.

I Shurelias and we back out; Morg Black Sheilding a BC hook.

At the precise moment they turn to go back to Baron; Morg lands a snare on the Blitzcrank; and then puddles him. I notice this [I was booking it] and throw a casual ultimate at the Blitzcrank; which hits about half a second after he is released from the snare.

The poor Blitzcrank then dies by melting in the acid puddle.

Then the rest of the team arrived; we took Baron; killed them as they failed to stop us; and won.

It's just the way that I put my faith in this Morgana; knowing we could stop Baron together; succeeded; and won the game off that. And it was all with a single simple 'Assist Me' ping on Baron.

The power of the ping man. The power of the freaking ping. Moments like that restore my faith a little.
====

Also another [personal] great moment that game was when we were chasing their Akali. She flashed over the wall. I throw a blind ulti with a good idea where she would be.

I hit four of their team; who were trying to ambush us as we came around the corner. Needless to say;; that leads to therm getting teamwiped.

doing baron when they're behind, enemy positions unknown, baron vision unknown. and still engaging in teamfights with baron debuff and one person down.

damn i'd like to go against that team.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #484 on:** January 01, 2014, 12:46:26 AM »

Doing baron while you're behind isn't a bad idea, actually, it's actually kind of stupid when you're ahead. If you suceed at getting baron while behind, you might just win yourself the game (or at least buy a few more minutes to try and get back in the game), if you don't manage you lose, but if you don't do it at all you fail anyway.

It's the exact opposite when you're ahead though, if you get it, you win, if you don't do anything, you win, but if the enemy team ganks you at baron, that might just lose you the game.

Trickysticks · « **Reply #485 on:** January 01, 2014, 05:29:18 AM »

Doing baron is the enemy team slowly surrounding mine and me wondering why the heck we're doing baron.

And then we die horribly and the blame game begins :V.

hyorinryu · « **Reply #486 on:** January 01, 2014, 07:07:32 AM »

A lot of times, I just say screw Baron. If I get an inhib, I say b and take another one.

Though Baron dancing until the minions reach the double turrets isn't a bad idea either.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #487 on:** January 01, 2014, 09:33:26 AM »

Doing baron is always a bad idea unless the entire enemy team is dead(In which case, you could probably go for an inhib, so I normally don't get baron unless we don't have enough pushing power to get an inhib at that point in the game), however, it's even more stupid for the winning team to do it, that's my point. :V

As I said; it was a desperation play; and most of your team was low after pushing so they assumed we all went back.

Ryuu · « **Reply #489 on:** January 01, 2014, 11:07:16 PM »

baron calls without the entire enemy team being dead almost never work until you get up to like plat/diamond

and even then they only work occasionally

EyeMtheStron9est · « **Reply #490 on:** January 01, 2014, 11:09:08 PM »

Baron shouldn't be attacked like ever. It only invites chances to fall behind.
This is why the team that is behind should probably pick off one or two (hopefully smite guy) and try to baron when the enemy has the guard down.

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #491 on:** January 02, 2014, 02:47:21 AM »

The exception would probably when you can speedclear Baron with champs like Cass and Nunu, though actually picking them in a comp brings with it other concerns :ohdear:

Ugh, I'm only now trying to figure out how to properly build Kennen for this season because I saw the mastery trees earlier and said "welp nope." I'm recalling why I said that very vividly right now: spellvamp is now quite conflicting to get for him for one reason or another.

So y'know how Kennen uses energy and therefore casts spells and stays in lane for ages, especially with spellvamp on him? Yeah... Only tree with spellvamp is the support tree, and it doesn't offer quite as much to him as it did season 3, especially since that AD nerf he had a while back. Will of the Ancients also got CDR, which is not bad, but also mana regen and lost the aura that boosted up another 30 AP, so it kinda feels like there are better investments to increase Kennen's game, despite the godly stature spellvamp used to provide.

I mean, it's not RIP Kennen, but poor kid's in need of some buff attention at this point. Or I just need to alter my playstyle to accommodate for lack of spellvamp.

In other news, I desperately miss my college's connection. Playing in one of the comp labs ran smooth as butter ~ :V

Started playing Varus again, it feels so satisfying to snipe people with q's oh man

But he's pretty good considering I'm terrible at playing any adc that has a built-in escape, but insane at anyone that doesn't.

Lemondogs are removed from the EU 2014 LCS Spring Season for failure to submit satisfactory paperwork.

Wow. That is hilarious.

A qualifier for the open 8th LCS spot with the three teams that lost in the Promotion matches (Ninjas in Pyjamas, Meet Your Makers, and SUPA HOT CREW XD) will be held.

I really; really hope that one of the EU pro teams is not seriously called 'SUPA HOT CREW XD'

Do you know why that happened? Also, don't jinx it. It's bad enough that they keep calling that one guy "expession." Dude said it was a typo.

No way that is the best possible name in the history of names.

Also guys I miss showdown, I was not able to play for the last few days of it

Not only was is fast to get in and out, when you play 1v1 you don't have to deal with anyone bitching and I had a 100% win rate with my homegirl Quinn. Any plans to bring it back, maybe permanently with ~Magma Chamber~?

No official statement by Riot; but it's on Leaugepedia; and Nick Allen's Twitter. And Nick Allen is the E-Sports Director. So that's pretty much as confirmed as it gets.

pure AP, w/lichbane: 80% slows with 70% speedboost.
lost due to game going to 50 minutes with enemy having Dr Mundo and a godly baron steal: Gragas and Nunu got smitestolen. didn't watch the rest of the series too busy laughing at that match being so crazy.

Wat.

And yeah generally a game going 50 mins when the enemy team has Mundo and you have no ADC DPS won't end well.

Although of all AP's besides Karthus/Cass and maybe Orianna Lulu has the highest DPS because passive.
