double IP weekend, discuss

[Molten]

Double IP weekend? Guess i'll better have to start playing more often then.

And as another note, it's kinda fun when troling around in normals with a premade to go 4 tanky 1 carry. Noone shall touch our carry, not a single person. And that engage, Nautilus ult followed by Malphite ult followed by Galio ult followed by Sejuani ult. So much CC it starts to get hillarious.

[Suikama]

oh damn nautlius on sale... hmm wonder if I should buy

Btw, after a convincing argument from my friend(You're dragon, so go buy the dragon), I decided to buy Shyvana. She's a good top right?

Also, how bad was Ahri nerf? How much AP does she need to break even?

EDIT: Assuming someone's already done the math.

[theshirn]

Shyvana is best in jungle, but a decent top.

IIRC it's 800 for FF but only 300 for the ult.

Also, if anyone hasn't seen it yet, Nerf guns

I wasn't sure, though. I'm mainly worried about how as a jungler she has no cc.

[lumber_of_the_beast]

And new Ahri skin! Totally original.

Yeah, Exhaust is pretty mandatory on her, but her clear time is great and her ganks (especially once you hit 6) are pretty solid.

[Ryuu]

she's a counter-jungler like mundo and not a ganking jungler

you spent most of your time responding to enemy ganks by stealing every camp on the opposite side of the map

Also, how bad was Ahri nerf? How much AP does she need to break even?

there was an ahri nerf? are pbe notes out?

[hyorinryu]

I guess she'll be useful then, it's just that at whatever elo I have in normals, there's only a 50% chance that the other team has a jungler. If I go jungle, then top or bottom usually loses lane unless I'm there 100% of the time, at which point I'm not jungling.

You mean that one skin that's now gone from the store

[hyorinryu]

I love spectator mode. Makes me wonder what fun I've missed as a result of it.

Today, my friend tried to do jungle Swain. He went cloth and 5 pots, with heal and smite. He ended up popping both summoner spells at blue and still died. He tried to do it again after leaving spawn, but after the second attempt, he gave up and began laning at lvl 2 while everyone else was 5 and 6.

Team still won though.  :V

Question guys.

When fast junglers like Mundo and Shyvana go against other fast junglers, is it still a good idea to invade, or is it better to stick to your own jungle and make sure they don't take it. Also, how can I tell when it's a good idea to engage a duel in the jungle?

[Ryuu]

what buffs do you have vs what buffs do they probably have

what level are they vs your level

what are their likely items vs your likely items

how much of their jungle is warded

Also, how can I tell when it's a good idea to engage a duel in the jungle?

how much health are they(if seen by a ward or something)? how likely are their lanes to collapse on you? are your escapes(especially flash) up? how likely are your lanes to assist you? are they fighting a buff or dragon alone? without smite?

etc. etc. etc.

[theshirn]

Played stupid amounts of LoL yesterday, but now I'm sitting on around 8500 IP.  Not too shabby.

Also 13pot Morde is still amazing, hilarious, and went 10/0/4 and 19/2/2 back-to-back.

[Rikter]

omg riot why u nerf ahri now i only play her ad

Game looked very grim until I killed 4 members of there team in a delayed quadra at our base towers.

I then proceeded to do the same at baron minutes later.

[gammaraptor]

Lol I can't imagine what else they'd max. W? Sort of reasonable. Not really, since it puts you in melee range to use it. Please not E.

Ryuu, you ever check Orianna out since the buff. I've been wanted do so, but I don't feel like shelling out 4800 IP and her free week seems like it'll be a while.

btw, why do people go ad ahri? It seems fairly popular.

[theshirn]

Added you two to the list.

[Ryuu]

yes. i played her quite extensively. imo she's good enough to play again, especially with new chalice. she still has a few issues but overall she's worth the buy because she's fun as fuck.

i wish i could play her more but, alas, i am a support.

btw, why do people go ad ahri? It seems fairly popular.

her taunt ensures she'll win any 1v1 late game and her ult gives her instant repositioning, kiting, and escapability

however it's still a gimmick as she lacks an ad steroid or any good utility for a carry

[Esifex]

Orianna is too offensive based to be played as an aura support champion? I'd imagine it's a viable build, but, what, it's just better to go AP Mage and kill things rather than sit back and be a support bot?

[Garlyle]

She is so fun.  Really.

This sounds about right.  Plus, all of Orianna's spells increase in potency with AP, including the closest thing she has to a heal; as opposed to someone like Taric who gets a huge number of beneficial effects for his team, that don't benefit from his AP, so he doesn't need to build it if he doesn't want to?

I guess.

I don't really know that much about support Orianna but she does seem like an even more finicky playstyle than her standard self.
