So, of course I bought Quinn. Holy OP Batman. Learned her VERY quickly as she plays somewhat like Nidalee, but easier. Not sure on her build order yet, but damn does she snowball easy. I haven't owned any games yet as I'm still too new with her. But with a good team behind (in front of) her, she can rack up the kills quickly. She is REALLY fast as the bird. Just played against a Graves. He hit harder with his basic attacks and abilities. But when I was able to stack my stuff, I had more DPS than he did.

Anyway, looking forward to using her in our double jungle thing. She's not really a jungler, but will make a good ganker.

Found Akali to be an amazing jungler. Just throwing that out there.

Basically anything goes for us now that we have been trying the double jungle. We just need to be aware of our team comp as a whole though. Like Cake saying that he wants to try Quinn in the jungle, thats fine and all but we just need to be sure someone on the team is somewhat tanky. I don't think we need full on tanks anymore with our hit and run guerrila warfare that we employ.

Thats why i started building my Hecarim to be a bigger damage dealer and less tank cause in those little 3v2 or 2v2 skirmishes that happen it seems like the harder hitting teams come out on top.

With this in mind i'm prolly gonna start bringing Kha'zix into the jungle mix. He is more of an assasin type and im not sure if he would fit into all of our team comps but there are places for him.

Would be fun to run Rengar and Kha'zix. Just because.

I still don't think it matters if we have a tanky champ on our team any more. We don't team fight. . . we attack a weak enemy and move on. I think the higher damage output we can achieve, the better our success rate will be with our current strategy. We never fight a fair fight and our durability is irrelevant because we will burst them dead before they can us.

Even when we do have a tank they just immediately skip him and kill Leisher, anyway.

Kha'zix, Rengar would be pretty fun. Along with teemo and an Akali, we would have so much stealth teams would almost have to run around with oracles just to see us.

I was thinking of buying Diana for the same kind of bursty champ but she's AP so if we needed some more AP i could roll with her and if we needed more AD i could go Kha'zix

I can probably make myself available since other people have given advance notice.

This may sound wacky... but I think I'd like to give Ryze another shot, even possibly at top with our double junglers. Or mid. Whatev.

Been playing a few practice games, and he is faster than he used to be. If I can keep from feeding until he gets his first couple items, he becomes a hard hitter. He will insta-nuke almost any non-tank fully built.

Couple him with someone like Kayle (I think?) who can throw the invulnerable on him when he gets focused, and we win.

Ha... the Mac client has been released. Our general pool of players is going to get a lot less skilled once those non-gamer gamers get leveled up.

Only thing easier to kill would be an XBox client gamer.

Correction: Ryze doesn't begin to do much damage until after level 15 or so, and has 3-4 built items. Until then he is squishy and doesn't hit that hard... his only redeeming spell until then is a no-miss stun.

What can we do about bottom lane? It seems that Scooty is not enjoying himself down there. He's only happy when the junglers are down there and when no one helps him, he wanders from his lane and pops up in random places. There's no communication coming from him other than the updates that bottom is getting killed. He can't farm and can't keep their carry from farming.

So, what are the possible solutions?

Second topic: Junglers need to ward and counter ward more. Stranger used to do that a lot, but since switching to a damage dealer, he's stopped buying wards/pink eye. Solution: Stop doing that. :-) We still have to ward and buy pink eye. I need to remember to place my wards when I buy them.

Third topic: I was going to mention only seeing Singed top lane but I think that's a lost cause. Never mind. :-)

Fourth topic: I'd like to see a new mid champion. :-)

Fifth topic: Are we EVER going to go ranked? If not, then topics 3 and 4 are irrelevant and can be stricken from the record.

I was going to make a suggestion but then I saw topic 3 so I guess GFY.

Actually I was going to try Anivia but I was worried about my ping. I'd happily try some other mids, it's why I own them.

And I'm all for ranked BUT I think we need to figure out bot lane first.
