Ooooh, Spirit blade - I most certainly hope we get a fun new Physical AD style carry out of this. I say that, because the current physical carries - Yi, Olaf, and Tryndamere - have major problems in competitive play in 5s

Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stopped, the story will not end.
Whether it's a comedy or a tragedy, if there is cheering, the story will continue on.
Just like the many lives.
For the us who are still in it and still in the journey, send warm blessings.

Olaf isn't too bad, just gotta build him properly and hope for a good team. ><
Also, I just got out of a game where, I died from ret diving and I was teleported to my dead body upon the death timer ending, anyone else have this issue?
I have about 20 more wins than losses in normal games.
The "problem" for me is that one of my close friends in real life also plays LoL, and he's awfully terrible at it... That counts for a big part of my losses.
The new Champion looks cool. I like female melee characters.

I rolled 5 D6's and got 3 fours. They must have changed the odds of getting a 4!
I have stabilized at +25 which i think is great considering i pretty almost never play arranged games.
I have suddenly become really good at Mao... i have floored every single game i ended up on.
Philo Stone
HoG
Mercury Threads
That's the core then depending on the match i go:
FoN
Sunfire
Thorn
GA
B.Veil
If the game has little in the way of Melee or melee's i dont have to worry much about i change the Thorn into a Warmog.
If the game is going well and i am surviving ganks and overall trucking people i go for Frozen Mallet or Lichbane over GA.
As for new Champ... i'll wait for the skill description before going all hype-fangirl nuts about it, oh and wait for all the other Champs to be released before her... we still dont have Yorick here but somehow Wukong got released today 0.o

What do you guys think about my Cho'Gath runes and masteries?
I'm currently 9/21/0, with skills in Nimbleness and Ardor, taking Teleport and Flash. Runes are ArPen reds, flat Armor yellows, mix of flat MR and MR/lvl blues, and flat AP quints.
I start Doran's Ring, rush Philo Stone and HoG, then keep farming top lane and top jungle until I have either Frozen Heart or FoN, with at least Chain Vest or Negatron Cloak in the unbuilt item before really sticking with the team for team fights.
My usual end game items are Randuin's, Merc Treads, Frozen Heart, FoN, Wit's End, and Atma's. That's why I go ArPen for reds, but at least some of the games, I'm forced to go Abyssal because team is AP heavy and I could use the extra MR. I think it might make sense to have 2 rune pages for Cho'Gath, depending on your team. However, does anyone know if flat Armor reds is just better than MPen or ArPen? In that instance, I could then go for Dodge yellows.

What? That's whack on the champ release schedule.
@Mao: I usually run him with some AP and he seems to do great with that as well. Usually go, Sapphire Crystal into Catalyst into Merc Treads, and finishings RoA. Then from RoA I go either Banshee's Veil, or Sunfire Cape(Cape of Suns), depending on their dominant AD or AP (usually I look for 3/5 champs then pick either of the two). I'll go for the other after I get the first, then I'll roll straight into an Crystal Scepter to add some AP, Health and a slow to help with my Saplings and chasing + extra slow in his q. Then go for either a Randuin's, Thornmail or FoN, depending on who I'm playing against, stuff like Trynd I'll go thornmail, Stuff like Renekton or Xin and I'll opt for a Randuin's. Otherwise I get a FoN for extra MR and Super Health Regen. Just what I do, it's always interesting to see other's builds.
Also, the nice thing about getting that is his saplings become very spammable, and you can start farming the caster creepers with his saplings after lvl 4.
So Final Build would be (in a somewhat specific order): Merc Treads>Rod of Ages>Sunfire Cape>Banshee's Veil>Rylai's Crystal Scepter>(Either of the three to finish)[Randuin's Omen, Thornmail, Force of Nature]
EDIT@GIX: Why a Wit's End? Might as well get something like you were saying, Abyssal. It would be better for your pop ups and silences. Other than that, the only thing I would see to change is Atma's. Its good but I dunno why you'd prefer that over something like Sunfire Cape or even a Guinsoo's Rageblade. I've seen it work on Cho, but I find flat AP makes him deal so much more damage then dodging around and getting AP and AD. He's so much more proficient with a little bit of AP then a tiny bit of ap and a tiny bit of AD. Just my opinions though.
ALSO! I don't mean to sound elitist with these, so if its coming off like that I'm sorry. ><
Whats that? Oh I hear DotA2 around the corner? Aight
Hehe, we'll see. I'm optimistic because it's Valve, but I'm actually pretty happy with League of Legends too. One of the first times I've played an online multiplayer game for a good length and I don't feel like I despise the developers. Suppose there's always time though. Let's see what kind of fiasco Dominion turns into...
I'm 277-205, +72. Although a lot of that can be attributed to a large group of RL friends that all play. It's very rare if I'm not playing a game with 3+ friends. Definitely the good life, but you're also forced to blame yourselves when you lose. Less random Teemo-feeder scapegoats, heh.
Although the other downside of this is we run into a lot of serious-face premade 5's, running team comps straight out of Gamescom. While we're busy jungling Kayle, solo Shaco top, never running support, etc... lol
Excited for season2 and dominion, would love to play with non-randoms so feel free to add me in game, my summoner name is inbredJedd. My main champs are Singed, Gangplank, Warwick, Fiddle, and Zilean, but I like to mix it up sometimes too.
Also, I've saved up 10,000 IP and just can't make a decision on what runes to buy, maybe you guys can help. I like having general all-around runes that can work on a lot of champs. Currently I have full sets of:
Marks
Attack Speed
Armor Pen
Magic Pen
Crit Damage
Seals
Flat Armor
Mana Regen / 5
Glyphs
Cooldowns
Flat AP
Magic Resist / level
Quints
Armor Pen
Crit Dmg
Ability Power
Movement Speed
There's some runes I'm leaning towards, but would love to hear your opinions on how to round out my collection.
Been playing for awhile now, I'm level 30. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at the game, but I'm probably terrible. Anyway, if anyone wants to play some normals with me (I'm not really big into trying ranked with all the horror stories I hear) I'd be happy to play some games with ya.
The thing that makes me NOT optimistic about DotA 2 is that it's Valve.
See: TF2 being run into the ground.
Very true, but from what we've been shown it's basically the same as DotA with updated graphics and little else. I suppose they have time to ruin it though.
Also, I'm pretty sure a clone of DotA wouldn't kill LoL, since the mechanics are pretty dissimilar.
I think I'm +50 or +40 something atm, I get sad when I fall below +50

"Virtue, Jacques, is an excellent thing. Both good people and wicked people speak highly of it..."
See The International tournament for reassurance that it's dota with updated graphics and engine. TF2 can blow me for all I care, you do know they gave Icefrog full creative space right? He got to do everything he ever wanted. He did everything he just pointed a finger and said do it. They show it to him and he approves it. Some of the models look kind of meh to me but other then that I think it looks great and it's still dota which is they key component. Look at my avatar it's HoN that game was great for a long time until stupid balancing and stupid things s2 did to make themselves look extremely shady. Riot has it's meh moment their balancing is pretty decent I enjoy the game I also enjoy a lot of the heroes.
Xin Trynd/Karth/AP Teemo Yi
Miss Fortune Annie/ Vlad / Xin Shaco
Our xin went 0/7 and decided to quit I caught him right before, told him not to worry, I'll take care of it. We were doing baddly (cept me, I noticed when I had 32 minion kills on wave 6 (32 out of 38, no?), I don't know why but I felt on fire.)
By 20 minutes we were 18/28.
I was 10/0
Annie and Xin were very fed. Shaco was really behind. But we were losing. I told everyone I'll take care of it, our lategame is way stronger than theirs and I'll hold them off till then. I hit level 16 before everyone was 10, and was 3 levels ahead of vlad. I never had so much farm. I was getting most minions a wave early game. Xin was 0/9 and Annie and Xin had more kills than me. I kept telling people to farm and it seemed we made a connection and isntead of name calling and people getting mad, we felt sorry for eachother when we played baddly. This goes on till Trynd get an infinity edge and goes up to 12/12 Woops.
Enter teamfight trade Karthus for Ace and push 4 towers 1 inhib and Nexus in like 40 seconds.
Because I often have only a mite of time for Leagues (school and gym require me to sleep early, wake up early), I often play Bot games for FWOTD bonus (first win of the day). Furthermore, I want to win these Bot games in as short of a time frame as possible, because the FWOTD bonus isn't game time sensitive - +150 IP whether 10 minutes or 50 minutes.
So my friend and I came up with a new "mode" for Bot games that ensured that we'd have a fast yet fairly challenging time.
These are the requirements:
1. One's death can never be credited to a Bot. Dying to towers or the fountain is fine, but never to a Bot. If anyone dies to a Bot then GG Bots OP.
2. Win before 10:00 minutes. If you win after that mark then GG Bots OP.
It's pretty hard to do =D
