Instagibing people with Veigar gives most satisfaction in the whole game. Deathfire+Ulti=giggles

Picked up Ziggs yesterday. My one game with him so far wasn't terribly impressive. I've spent so long jungling I've almost forgotten how laning works and the delays on his skillshots took a little getting used to. But he's pretty fun. Very spammy, requires a lot of user interaction. And as much as I usually hate Yordles there's something about his manic cheerfulness that rubs me the right way. Will definately be taking the time to learn this guy. Satchel-catapulting yourself over walls feels really good since it requires more coordination than flash.

Allthough I agree it can be fun instagibbing, I find it more satisfactory to pull of something that requires skill or quick reflexes. To troll pole a Karthus ult for instance makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Also blind sniping enemies with ult and/or stealing buffs dragons etc with Lux and Ziggs come to mind.

Trying out Allistair at the moment, got him and a Skin for free months ago due to some promotion. A real simple champion, but pretty effective at holding people off for a bit/disrupting attacks-in-progress. But I'm learning him while working towards enough to buy Orianna, who I've heard is the polar opposite. That's fine, had a couple disastrous games with both Heimer and Poppy lately, and I'm in the mood to become competent with new champs.

Alistar is boring as hell when playing support. Solomid or top is where the fun's at, some AP, CDR and a few points in Headbutt will bring a smile to anyones face.

Speaking of top lane, watched yesterday Vman7 playing Blitz with AD runes and completely destroying Nid with his W.Thats at 2200 Elo. That dude never stops suprising me, his stream is pure skill with out of ordinary builds. I saw first from him Mejai Alistar, Revive Panth, Crit Blitz, Deathfire Taric and others. One of my favorite streamers. Highly recommended.

His actual lane phase is pretty strong vs certain champions, for example, there isn't too much someone like Fiora can do to him solo-top. Regardless, there isn't too much Alistar does with that farm ever since they annihilated his AP ratios.

Ye, his lane is pretty strong but he falls off late game cause Riot nerfed him to hell. But hes fun, and getting to play as top isnt that hard in normal games.

Ziggs is pretty fun. Still getting the timing on his skillshots down - especially my landing his ult needs a little work.
Satchel-jumping over walls is hilarious. I'm surprised I don't see more people do that.

But after a 50-min game your arm cramps up since you've been spamming shit everywhere for the entire duration.

This will not surprise the observant observer, but Dyrus is a fucking tard.

Was watching his stream and he played Jax. He built wriggle, then boots and WOTA into another hextech revolver, into gunblade...

Then he predictably evaporated in teamfights, while moaning "new jax is so useless" and raging in all chat "new jax cant do anything".


No fucking shit there dyrus. Jax' AP scalings are completely outclassed by the AD scalings, and when you don't build a single defensive item on your champ (except for small armor/mres on wriggle and boots) of course you will evaporate when everyone else has their rabadons and their IE+PD and their atmogs and whatnot. Even as a glass cannon build his build sucked ass. For all that money he could have gone fratmog and added a negatron cloak on top instead.

New Jax IS completely useless.

On another note, IEM Hanover's first day is over. Shushei and Fnatic are out :(

'Merica, Fuck yeah, comin' to save the motha fuckin' day yeah

On a serious note - I'm enjoying the Mordekaiser and Twisted Fate play. Also really wanted to see this ban-worthy Orianna in action.

Maybe, but that still doesn't justify shit item builds. And mid game he still has strong damage output due to high attack speed and damage steroids. He's a third-tier champ but not completely useless. I guess he could also be seen as a counter to fiora top.

SPOILARS!
As much as I like my fellow potatoman and Fnatic I'm not really shocked that they didn't qualify. They stay on the same level since Dreamhack and everyone else moved forward. All top euro teams scrim pretty much everyday againt each other, but you can rarely see Fnatic doing so. Last time I watched Shushei's stream Fnatic played ranked 5v5, which isn't really viable alternative to solid scrim session with TSM, AA or CLG.eu.

Alright, I just finished watching rerun of Fnatic vs. Dignitas game, which was definitely good. Fnatic's sick comeback made me quite happy.







They still suck though, TRAIN MORE FFS! :x

I finally realized why I don't like playing ranged AD carries.

It's the laning phase.

I hate having a retarded teammate doing stupid shit in my lane. At least in my jungle/solomid/solotop my interaction with retarded teammates is limited. :|
