Champions

[Jonathan Meer]

The idea, I take it, is for him to be a mobile turret.

[Waffuru]

I wonder if flash works with locus. Not a huge deal, but can be important depending on how long it takes him to switch between rooted and mobile. As for the passive, sure. Just facilitates the complete ignoring of defensive items like I usually do anyway.

Curious as to the percentage, though. Could be garbage(10%) or insane(40%) so I'm hoping it's 25

My guesses: no flash. 10, maybe 15% on the passive.

[Kaden]

His passive is mostly flavor. He's in a big coffin. It's metal. People make armor out of metal.

Still a cool passive, though (and way better than Kog's if we're looking at the other "artillery" champ). Free stats is always awesome.

And yeah, my guess is 10~15%. Think about how much AP you can get in a game. With an average amount of gold, you'll end up at ~350 AP, I think. That's a pretty safe number. A free ~50 armor seems pretty reasonable to me. That's like getting a chain vest for nothing.

[Kaden]

Does anyone here play a lot of Kassadin?

[Mal Nova]

O_O Hell no! He looks like he dont know wtf he wants to be! An Assassin... a Caster.... or a Fighter>_>

[Rafael]

Other than Vad, I haven't seen anyone use him much.

[Anzekay]

I've played him a bit in the past but he wasn't exactly my style. I've been tempted a few times to try him out more but I keep getting interested in other champs instead.

His W is actually pretty good. Gives him a ton of melee damage once you get a bit of AP.

[Anzekay]

Yeah it's pretty good later on.

[Rafael]

I hate how retarded strong Akali is.
Must play and learn to suck less with this op monster

What tips can you give me on... Master Yi... Poppy...Tristiana... and Tryndamere? I'm probably going to give them all a few test runs tonight and this weekend so I can say that I have actually tried out all the champs I own a few times. Then go buy Xin and give him a run...

[Jonathan Meer]

Dunno so much about Poppy, but the general rule on auto-attack champs (Yi, Ashe, Tryn, Trist) is to gun for an early Infinity Edge.

[Mal Nova]

Is that because of the attack damage or Critical hits?

edit: That mofo is expensive O_O

It requires the pickaxe, BF sword, and CoA. That item is like the most expensive weapon(Trinity being the most expensive item(not a weapon =P)

How do you expect to get it early O_O

You have to get an incredible amount of last hits and get fed(Then again if you are getting fed you dont really need it as much lol)

Wonder if HoG will help get it faster>_>

Hmmm Which should you go for first though? The Pickaxe of the CoA?

Master Yi - Build Ghostblade, then you can either build tanky dps (warmogs + atmas or frozen mallet + atma's (I prefer frozen mallet + atma's)), or build stuff like phantom dancer's, bloodthirsters, or an IE (though I've never really built IE on him). Unless you built tanky dps on him and are feeling pretty safe, don't initiate fights, wait for someone else to do so, then alpha strike in, pop your ult, pop wu ju style and auto attack to victory, and maybe a penta kill by refreshing his ult if you have mana.

Poppy - Two ways to build her, one is build trinity force + tanky stuff (warmogs, force of nature, randuins, sunfire cape) which is how I usually build her, the other is pure AP burst bitch. Deathfire Grasp + Lichbane + Deathcap = insane burst. Try to catch someone out of position, knock them into a wall, Q them. If you managed to get ult off first, they are most likely close to dead, use W to chase if need be and land another Q for the kill.

Tryndamere - Phantom Dancers, IE, Bloodthirsters. Spin in to a team of 5, start auto attacking and critting for insane damage. Pop ult when low, spin out 5 seconds later when most of them are dead. Run like hell. Come back in 50 seconds or so when ult is off cooldown and repeat. Or, if you are me, spin in to them, get stunned, get knocked up, pop ult to live, get stunned again, get knocked up again, ult wears off, die. Fuck Tryndamere

Tristana - Doran's blade or boots + 3 pots at start, rush BF sword, then finish boots 2, then either finish IE or Bloodthirster, or build a zeal then finish one of them. After IE or BT finished, build phantom dancer.

Edit: Also, in order to build these items either in a reasonable time or to even actually finish most of them in an average game, you must work on last hitting. A bitch to do on Poppy though.

[Mal Nova]

Mmmm Thanks a lot

For the record , I love fighting against a Tryndamere even if he's fed, as Jax of course. Stun the fuck out of him. W his ass a few times... When he goes Ult... Jump or move out of the way for a few seconds... then as It ends Q+W for the end =D

Farm farm farm. When I'm playing an AD carry (fairly often) I consider a 17-minute Infinity Edge to be on-par. That's probably a little on the fast side, but that's what I shoot for.

Just save your gold for the BF Sword and only buy pots/wards until you can afford it. The only exception to this is usually if I get first blood. I'll usually port back and pick up a second Doran's blade or boots, depending on my lane.

That's because Poppy doesn't farm minions, she farms champions.

[Waffuru]

Poppy is awful.
