I've decided that they must be doing that on purpose. The release new champions a bit OP on purpose knowing they'll be nerfing them over the next few weeks but that in the meantime they'll sell a lot more of them that way.

I can't recall the last time a new champion was widely proclaimed to be way too underpowered and in need of some serious buffing over the next few patches.

I'm not sure I agree with the Tanky Darius. When I was laning with him as Ashe, he got all the kills. I had 0 kills and like 17 assists or something. And fighting against him, he's always been able to beat up my champs very easily.

I'm a fan of Veigar because of his nuke. Being able to snipe one of their carries is huge. I'm glad I was Viegar in tonights game instead of Ziggs. I was able to burst all of their tanks down in less than a second. I never killed them, but I put them within 1 hit from death. We didn't have to hack at the tank for 5-7 seconds. Boom, done. And his spells refresh so quickly that I can keep doing it. Once I've burned my ult and my deathfire, my burst damage goes down. But my Q cools down in 2 seconds and does 500+ damage. Plus that large area stun. Between Gordon slowing/flipping, Stranger landing an unprecedented number of anchors and my circle of stun, we were able to chase down pretty much anyone wanted to. Team fights though, I was doing a truck load of damage with my E dropping from the sky doing AOE, etc.

Yes, he's definitely a glass cannon. But he's firing nukes. Which is cool. And really, he'll only get better for us. I still miss click a ton of spells.

Laning against Nidalee suuuuuuucked. And she came out there KNOWING she was going to own me. Right off the bat. Ran right past the minions and just started spearing me. The extra support from the jungler helped a ton. We didn't kill her much, but it helped me stay in my lane. Almost have to make the middle area a constant stop. Even if we don't kill, it keeps her cautious.

As far as Cass goes, laning against her sucks big time. But how is she late game and in fights? I can't remember the last game where Cass was a dominant force. I'll be giving her a try though. Once I get to know her, I might be able to figure out how she'll fit into our team.

And again, this was the best game I've seen Stranger play Naut in. Well done. From now on, THAT'S how you play Naut!

Well thanks! honestly i didn't play or build him any different than normal. Infact that was my support build so i didn't have the whole defensive masteries that i would have if i was going solo top and full tank mode.

I do like Vieger just because he is such a late game terror. i was watching guys lastnight have huge chunks of health being dropped in an instant. So they would run for their lives and i would just hook em back or Gordo flips them. And i LOVE teams with AOE and stuns and slows, we play so much better with that team comp.

Personally if you like Vieger i say go for it. But if there are some other AP's you would like to try Kassadin is free this week and he can be tough to handle if played right. And like Leisher said Cassiopia is good too. She has the ult that can freeze the whole team, and you know much i love that crowd control.

From all the builds I've seen and the discussions regarding him, everyone seems to be building him tanky because his kit has so much damage built into it.

Oh, and ya. If Draven jungles, buy him. Let's exploit the OPness of the new champ.


I don't think he's built to jungle, but he might be ok. I honestly think he's going to be a clown when played by bad players due to the "catch your ax" gimmick. They're going to focus on that and run right out of position. His coolest attack is the controllable Ashe ult.

I've decided that they must be doing that on purpose. The release new champions a bit OP on purpose knowing they'll be nerfing them over the next few weeks but that in the meantime they'll sell a lot more of them that way.


Yeah, that's pretty much the general feeling on the LoL forums.

I can't recall the last time a new champion was widely proclaimed to be way too underpowered and in need of some serious buffing over the next few patches.


Graves was so OP that he's been nerfed around 7 times in a row. That's insane. I think Darius might get similar treatment.

However, you don't see many Hecarims out there anymore, and they didn't nerf him much, so I think he was just UP.

i agree, he might be tricky to play because of this. And the other team can see where his axe is going to land so it would be easy to predict where he's heading.

Heh. No thanks. 1) I'm not very good, and 2) I play just for fun and don't intend to get any better. :p Plus, I don't really do teamwork all that much. I just kill minions and towers and push.

I'll be on.

I bought Draven, so far I'm not too impressed.

His Q is a gimmick that can easily be used by enemy champs to figure out where he's going next. Also, it's not really easy to use. The view is isometric, and in one game I saw a few instances where I was trying to click the next spot the axe would land, but couldn't click behind a monster, enemy champion, or object in the way.

His W is the same as Miss Fortune's. Just a movement and attack speed boost.

His E is kind of cool. A longer range slow that also displaces everyone it hits.

His R is Ashe's only without the stun and can hit multiple targets.

I don't hate him, but the Q being so gimmicky kind of ruins him, imho.In the one game I played as him I had to really concentrate to use that Q, but the rest of his kit is normal AD carry stuff.

I think Ashe is a great comparison to him. His Q and her Q almost do the same thing. His Q gives you more range and damage as you hit the same target and catch your axe. Ashe's Q slows the target meaning you can hit them more, and do more damage. Different ways to do it, but I'd bet the damage is very similar. So the big difference is that his Q is a pain in the ass to use, where her Q is automatic...

Looks like you can take advantage of a team with an afk by using Draven's ult on them at thier nexus!! Talk about some easy kills. Thats hilarious

I take it back, I'm out tonight. I forgot I'm getting up early for a golf outing in the morning. So it's off to bed early for me.

Well, I lied. I have been getting better after all.

I'm still no good against champions, but I've gotten very good at pushing minions and towers and running away.

Thats how i first started playing the game.. I would play Garen solo top and hardly ever leave my lane even when team fights would break out. It was the only way i knew how to play and it didn't work bad for us at the time. Granted i was prolly only summoner level 10 or so at the time and none of us were level 30 but there is a place for split pushing.

What summoner level are you? and what champions do you own?

Also i was curious as to what champs all of us own right now and what lane you feel most comfortable playing with them in. I think we should list who we have and maybe talk about what champs we could try and practice with.

I currently own the following champs and feel im best at the following lanes with them:

Ahri- Mid
Alistar- Jungle, or Support
Amumu- Jungle, or maybe Support (never tried it)
Brand- Mid
Garen- Top
Heimerdinger- Mid
Kog-maw- Bottom, can be played AP mid but ive never done it.
Leona- Support
Nautilus- Top, Support or Jungle
Olaf- Top
Shen- Top or Support
Shyvana- Top or Jungle
Skarner- Jungle
Soraka- Support
Taric- Support
Tristana- Bottom
Udyr- Jungle
Vayne- Bottom
Xerath- Mid
Ziggs- Mid

I've owned some of these champs for a while cause of some drunken IP or RP spending, and i obviously haven't played some of them at all other than in bot games. But i'm open to trying something new or purchasing a new champ that you guys might think i should try out.

So lets see what you guys got and discuss possible team comps that could work.
