League of Legends Thread XIV - Rebel Without A Vel'Koz

[Garlyle]

>go Soraka

"brb guys I've got 4k gold to spend"

we're five minutes into the game.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Aye, Soraka Zilean and Nidalee seem like mandatory bans in this mode, otherwise you're screwed.

[Garlyle]

Aye, Soraka Zilean and Nidalee seem like mandatory bans in this mode, otherwise you're screwed.

Sona is also absolutely absurd.  Her sustain and constant power chords make her incredibly hard to kill.

Brand might be once word gets around that his Q is basically 100% Uptime Stun once it lands once.

Also avoid Tryndamere and especially Aatrox.  Trynd's CDR actually has very little effect other than increased mobility and he got none of the ranged buffs; Aatrox will literally slaughter himself in the process of using his skills if he's not careful (even if he gets almost permanent ult buff later).

[Mr. Sacchi]

Karma is also one to watch out for, she has no need for boots which allows her to build super tanky and a 2 second E makes her unbelievably hard to kill.

I literally had 4 people chasing me, one of them a frickin' LB with a DFG from their BOTTOM INHIBITOR to my OUTER BOTTOM TURRET, and I survived.

Her 2 second cd Qs also make for unbelievable harrass in lane.

SUPPORT KARMA IS A GO

So essentially the bans in this mode are Sona/Soraka/Nidalee/Karma/Zilean/Brand

@E

DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BAN HECARIM

BAN THE SHIT OUT OF HECARIM

LIKE HOLY FUCKING SHIT PONY IS TOO GOOD IN THIS MODE

[Cadmas]

Found ap nidalee to be meh. League of mobility everyone dodges the spears and heals them.

[Raikaria]

Tried Zilean, not that bad, not that good. His early sucks.

LeBlanc is ABSURD, as is Poppy with her basically 0 CR Q and her perma-movespeed. Xerath is apparently pretty stupid too.

Karma is scary.

Zyra is anti-meta, as her plants she spams blocks skillshots. It's like she's Yasuo spamming Wind Wall.

I'm gonna try KOG'MAW next. Perma steroid, R spam for free...

On another note, got enough RP for a legendary skin with some overflow; so ~MYSTERY SKINS~

- Totemic Maokai
DON'T YOU TROLL ME AGAIN SKINS

- Swamp Master Kennen
It's not good but I don't have a Kennen skin so yay?

- Frostfire Annie


- Bloodfury Renekton
They just get better n better.

[Garlyle]

Speaking of Maokai

Ever wanted to watch a champion run in horror as a bunch of saplings come streaming out of a bush at them?

Yup.

[Raikaria]

Speaking of Maokai

Ever wanted to watch a champion run in horror as a bunch of saplings come streaming out of a bush at them?

Yup.

I haven't got around to trying AP Maokai deathbrushes yet.

Next on my list is Sivir.

[Mr. Sacchi]

You mean Sivir "I'll push your towers all day and give myself an infinite movspd buff"?

That Sivir?

And that's not even taking her Spellshield into account.

[Raikaria]

Yep, that Sivir.

It was glorious.

But not as glorious as Malzahar crab swarms

[Cadmas]

Don't let Hec in your game.

[Raikaria]

Sorry there's far more pressing things like LeBlanc, Rengar, Sona, Soraka, Riven, Le Blanc [Yes she's that bad to be banned twice], Nidalee

That and I want to play Hecarim.

I also want to see if Rumble can stack flamespitters [Albeit he'll overheat almost instantly]

Edit: Found out why Hecarim's dumb. But I had the most morinic team ever and still lost.

You don't mess around for 20 mins throwing and refusing to group when the game is almost over when the enemy team has A FREAKING VAYNE. [And an Ezreal too] We just got outscaled and lost because our Kah'Zix insisted he always be on the opposite side of the map.

[EyeMtheStron9est]

Ezreal q has 1 sec cd. It reduces by 1 if it hits. If you get in close range it's constant damage.

Hecas  q is super rapid fire. His ult is almost always up. He's faster so more damage.

Soraka is obvious.

Mummy has stun almost ready by the time a stun is finished.  Hit them with tsun then walk away and repeat they have nearly no answer.

Fizz has two second cd vault.

Vlad has machine gun e. Pool into hourglass into pool works.

Sion has infinite shield and stun on rotation.

[Raikaria]

Hecarim's Q dosen't even have a cooldown really.

Also, you know someone I tried out who did a lot better than expected?

Darius.

Also I wanna try Rumble, just because R up every fight and I wanna see if Flamespitter stacks.

Edit: It dosen't, and Rumble may as well have been disabled on this mode because of it. He's NERFED by the changes, gets nothing, and even his Ultimate is only good for waveclear because everyone's got their dashes up forever.

At least Yasuo gets some extra crit damage.

[Suikama]

Holy fucking shit

They will actually play a game in this mode in the LCS today

EVERYONE MUST WATCH IT NO EXCEPTIONS

[Sahgren]

Janna is hilarious in Ultra Rapid Fire. 500+ health shields for everybody! If you can even get in range in the first place that is.

[Suikama]

It's happening :getin:

[Raikaria]

When they mentioned 2 Shens, I figured something out.

Shen's taunt is 1.5 seconds.
Cooldown is 1.6 seconds. [At max]

Uh oh.

Also Feint has 1 second.

EDIT: TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Suikama]

>50% vote

THERE WAS NO VOTE :getdown:


THE CAKE OMG


HE ONE HIT THE RED AT LEVEL 1


MID GAME INTERVIEW GO


PHREAK IS NOW A PART OF CLOUD 9


EU CASTER TAKEOVER


man meteos is op even in this mode

[Sahgren]

I'm pretty certain Phreak's calls won C9 the game there.

[Suikama]

oh man korea got to play it too

[Palewolf]

My friend played Hecarim with teleport/ghost and bought boots of swiftness with homeguard as his first item.
Place ward and call the meatgrinder,  he could 3vs1 by the end.

[Raikaria]

Shen works far better than expected.

I went tanky AP Shen. permament 300+ damage sheild? Check. 1.6 second taunts? Check. Decent damage? Check.

Somehow I got a triple kill by mashing E and W.

Also at the end of the game I could facetank towers forever by mashing W.

[Mr. Sacchi]

AP Skarner is also kind of stupid thanks to machine gun Q and huge-ass shield.

Screw that you don't have slows anymore, just build some quick tenacity and an IBG + Boots of Mobility + Alacrity and they'll die, forever.

Oh, and don't try to duel him. You'll die.

Also, today I managed to out-duel a LB with Karma, shield, mantra-w, Q, holy shit so much kiting so much damage mantra with zero cd omg this is awesome.

[Sahgren]

Don't try to 2v1 him either apparently. I just watched him destroy a Lee Sin an Ashe together at level 2.

[Raikaria]

Apparently I can't carry when 27/7 on the 10 sec C/D ulti Lucian. [Not the final score, forgot that, wasn't much worse]

In fact in general I cannot win this mode. At all. Regardless of how well I do.

[Raitaki]

Apparently Kass is still in the game
Tried rapid fire URF Kass with spellvamp
Teleport/cleanse, no fun allowed
The early game was crap, post-6 was non-stop rape every lane
Teleport turned out to be utterly useless
Once I got lv6 and more than 1200 mana traversing the diagonal of the map took like 20s
Enemy had 3 snares? Doesn't matter, Ryze is the only one who could land his, and then cleanse <3
My sole death was from snared under turret
Ended game with 7k more gold than Veigar, did 57k out of 88k dmg to champs
NO FUN ALLOWED

[Aba Matindesu!]

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER

As long as Leblanc isn't in the game, Orianna is the ultimate horror. Lulu, Jax, Sona and Soraka also qualify. Kinda gets boring and bad when an entire team brings Televive and they have both LB and Veigar, though.

[Sahgren]

Televive is stupidly hilarious. I just had a game with 184 total kills where the opposing team would just charge into our base to try and wear down an objective, get horribly murdered, and televive back in. It would've won them the game if our Nid didn't get fed up and backdoor their Nexus.

[theshirn]

Was doing pick/bans, left Sona open.  Picked Sona.

Oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

15/1/15, HEAL DAMAGE HEAL FAST DAMAGE HEAL STUN STUN STUN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
