Champion Discussions.

So it there comes a time in every person's life, where they have to choose their favorite food, blankie, beany baby, etc... Not like I do that stuff. But it's come that time to see who are your favorite champions! Mello, we already know yours, but post anyway.... And I know that you have a fake tibbers at home, but post anyway.....

I'll get is started I guess. I love:
Veigar, his burst damage is unrivaled.

From when I played this guy:


He's the cutest little thing ever!

Kogmaw yes! He rains down mucus from the sky! Wait, that's cute?

Mello, look at your profile, just saying. I see what you are getting at though.

Hey guys! I haven't been on in a while (you can see my post in general haha), but I am back now.

ok where to start...

I can't really say that I have a favorite overall champion, but I can pick favorites out of the types.

-AP MID: vlad (only vampire I even remotely like ), kennen, akali, nidalee
-JUNGLE: Trundle, Lee Sin
-SOLO TOP: gangplank, shyvana, nasus, olaf
-SUPPORT: soraka, karma
-TANK: Shen (waaaay too boss ), alistar, maokai
-AD RANGED: Corki, and maybe ashe

My two favorites are Sivir and Dr. Mundo.

Sivir is really good late-game and is severely underestimated. Her insane attack speed will destroy anyone as long as your not taking all the hits.

Mundo is just a beast. Get multiple warmogs and you can tank anything. Add in Atma's Impaler and you have the HP and the power to kill anyone, as well as tanking turrets and other champions. Cleaver is also an amazing skill which is low HP use and highly spammable, not to mention it's ranged. Mundo's ultimate is also amazing. With a low cooldown, it has the ability to regenerate almost all of your hp, even while fighting, which lets you tank even more. I <3 Mundo.

They are small buffs to your champion that, when added up, can accumulate to a great deal of damage/ap/health/etc. For example I have a rune page for ap champs. I start the game now with 14 ap no matter what with that rune page. In addition to that, I have cooldown reduction (don't remember exactly how much but I think around 10%), and about 10 magic penetration. Runes may seem insignificant at first, and I would agree, tier one runes are not worth the ip. However, once you unlock teir 2 runes, they start to become useful, and at 3, they are necessary. With my rune page stated before, lets say I play vladimir. So I buy an amplifying tome, and a health pot. STARTING the game, I have 34 ap, something like 10% cd redux, and 10 magic penetration. Even if this doesn't really seem like a whole lot, it makes a HUGE difference early game, and can make the difference between getting fed, and feeding. Also, things like magic pen help a great deal late game too once everyone stacks dat magic resist haha.

Now as to which runes to buy, it really depends on your preference and play style. For me, I tend to rush into things (not necessarily a good thing, but if you can pull it off you definitely profit xD), so for me, cooldown reduction is vital. Plus the magic penetration and ap make sure that when I do rush in, I will get the kill. Now lets say you tend to run out of mana quickly. This is usually a temporary problem especially with newer players, but for the time being, it might be a good investment to get some mana regen runes, or just flat mana (I would suggest regen because it definitely helps more than the small amount of mana you get from flat mana runes). As you get more experienced, you tend to learn just how to use your abilities so that you don't need as much mana regen, and an item or two could suffice. At this point I would save up for runes similar to the ones that I mentioned above. If you would like, I can spectate you in a few custom games at some point and give you my opinion as to which runes to take, but ultimately, you know what you need, so save up and buy just that

Runes are passives that you purchase and put on a page like masteries. Most people recommend that you wait till 20 to start buying them because that's when you get tier 3 runes.

And by the way, for tanks, alistar is my favorite. AP would be veigar.

I gotta play a game with you when you're shen haha.

Meh, you're getting there. You're actually almost to me, i'm only close to 22. I've been busy though. Just make sure you don't use the rune blender, it can be a total rip off

I've played alot with amumu and he is highly recommended as a jungler. I enjoy playing as him, but I never was very good.

I am really starting to like varrus.

i like morgana, i just wish her first skill only hit champs :\

Angelus, did you get that pm I sent ya? If not, look at the catch the teemo thread, and see if you want to play!

i did, and i dont
