I'm gtrold on Lol. I've got about 18 wins under my belt, mainly been playing as Tristana from the start. I should probably try some other types of champions.

i played tristana again last night for first time in awhile. didn't do too well against the new champ.

5/12/2011 9:15:28 AM

I usually have a positive record and one of the highest creep scores, but that doesn't always translate to a win. In a 3v3 yesterday, I ended the game 8-4 with twice as many creep kills as anyone else, but when I dinged 18, Master Yi (on my team) was only level 12 and had a record of 0-6. One person can (and often does) mean a loss.

5/12/2011 1:45:22 PM

^ So wait. Someone went negative on TT with Yi....



Yi is always instant win on that map for me.

5/12/2011 3:05:17 PM

Yeah...and the dude had nearly 60 wins. Not sure how he was so bad.

5/12/2011 3:27:06 PM

60 wins isnt much at all. we've had ppl on our team with 1200 wins go 0-10.

5/12/2011 7:05:37 PM

I've had an abnormal amount of games lately where i go 12-2 or better and still lose ...


I went 19-3-9 in a ranked game and lost yesterday...


pretty nonsense... in dota if you went 8-0 on the carry the game was over... you shouldnt beable to go almost 20-2 and not be able to 1v5 the other team.

5/12/2011 8:49:03 PM

it is a team game, not a "try to get one person on your team to last hit all kills so they can 1v5 a team" game. if your team sucks, you should lose.

it is plenty easy to compensate for 1 bad apple if the rest of your team is very good OR if the other team also has some worthless piece. that said, ive seen plenty of carries 1v2 or 1v3 with no problem if they've been fed like a monster. particularly against ppl without a lot of CC.

5/12/2011 9:44:12 PM

Just starting to play this game...starting as Morde on some practice games.

Fun so far.

5/13/2011 3:01:53 PM

I like the idea everyone has to pull their weight and not have one person do everything

5/13/2011 4:40:35 PM

i mean, yeah, it sucks when you have the tard on your team, but that gives you more incentive to find a good group to play with. at least then you know you are getting outplayed rather than someone being incompetent.

5/13/2011 6:14:00 PM

what sucks is when you have a 4 man precomp and you still loose because you're pug is that bad (i'm looking at you AP shen)

5/13/2011 6:27:28 PM

happens to us a lot, but out of our 4, usually someone else is doing mediocre as well. i mean, ive gone anywhere from 0-10 to 18-2.

the best is with a pre-comp of 2. we tried going carry and got rocked because our tank was in the back and support was trying to carry. so we went tank/support...and got rocked cuz our dps was all 0-6. fun times. still a good game.

5/14/2011 10:58:55 AM

dont take this the wrong way, but why did you build 3 axes ?

5/14/2011 4:36:43 PM

I don't know, at that point I was getting a lot of gold and just wanted to do more damage. What would have been better?

5/14/2011 6:22:16 PM

an infinity edge and 2 blood thirsters would have added more damage... much more infact. especially since im sure you were level 18, rapidfire pdancer and cleaver should put you very near speed cap. stack thirsters... build defensive is always a good option when you start playing people who are decent at the game

5/14/2011 11:59:06 PM

lol yeah i was wondering same thing. id probably build 1 of each type of weapon that builds off a BF sword before making a second (with the exception maybe being a bloodthirster on some heroes).

trist is alright, but i find her to be a poor choice compared to other ranged carries later on. maybe its just because i find her ult to be meh compared to arrow, ace in the hole, or the like.

5/15/2011 10:26:51 AM

Thanks for the info.

Might have to log back in when i get home monday

5/15/2011 2:47:22 PM

I've definitely seen some improvements after taking some of the advice in this thread. My build lately has been vamp scepter, berserker's greaves, bloodthirster, phantom dancer, black cleaver, infinity edge, and another bloodthirster.

I played a game yesterday where I did pretty well, but I got owned multiple times by Evelyn. She'd just appear out of nowhere and rock me in a couple seconds. Probably should have gone with Mercury's treads. Evelyn seems like a good character to try out, though. That and Vladimir, lol

5/16/2011 1:35:18 PM

eve will usually be strong in games with newer players - but i wouldn't recommend her as anything worth learning for later on - she is easily shut down with a decent team and doesn't really offer much in team fights. - - - - if you guys are looking for a 5th send me a pm if i am on, i think i have added most of you... i am level 27 now.

5/16/2011 2:23:01 PM

So in you guys' opinion, what are some of the ranged carries that end up being better than Tristana in higher levels of play?

Also, when it comes to support champions, what are some of the best? Sona is awesome to lane with - seems like she'd be worth learning.

5/16/2011 3:08:32 PM

ashe is my ranged carry of choice for whooping ass, arrow ftw

5/16/2011 6:40:02 PM

i think ashe is a strong choice. while she doesnt have as good of an escape ability, her arrow is global which is extremely useful, even if ur on the pad. she's also nearly impossible to run from given volley (ae slow, great farming) and her ice arrow. her E, while not great, is nice as a scouting tool for team fights or checking baron.

vayne also seems strong if played well. true dmg is such a beast for as many xins and the like you see around in later levels.

there's plenty of ranged magic heroes that seem pretty beast compared to her, though dont have the tower destroying capabilities she does.

^^ i personally love sona and think she is a great addition to the team. you can have +dmg/ap and +mr/armor on pretty much the entire team fight and she does decent dmg to boot. id say she's my favorite pure support character. plenty of decent dmg/supports tho. teemo always a good choice in my book for map awareness.

not true... eve is a top ban in high elo because of how devastating good eve players can be. Eve has a U shaped usability curve because she's an ultra pubstomper to new players... and she's massively effective used by the right people in ultra high elo. Ex. see reginald or bigfatlp play high elo... she's banned consistently after 2k rating bc.


the problem is no one from 1100-1600 is good enough to use her the right way. Now that roaming is becoming more prevalent that may change however. i concur that until you're very comfortable with game you should avoid eve save for the occasional game to get used to her skills.

taric sona and zilean are the strongest supports. I'd definitely suggest sona and zilean. Taric is strong but usually in a roaming capacity and i doubt many of ya'lls games has roamers etc. or 3 solo's capable of supporting a roamer trist carries very hard late game but she's tough to handle early-mid and doesn't offer much cc late game, so she requires a lot of set up to get dps going.

5/16/2011 11:07:53 PM

haha, vayne and amumu has been a sick combo. my friend playin on vayne is averaging like 20 kills a game, lots of assists for me

5/16/2011 11:23:55 PM

vayne is pretty dominant , not as strong of an assassin but she's quite strong.

5/16/2011 11:34:44 PM

she has to have a good initiator on the team and navigate in when the rest of their team is all hurt. she's a good clean up crew as you can't really escape her

5/17/2011 8:27:57 AM

vayne seems very reliant on not being harassed early game. I have solo'd mid with MissFortune against vayne several times and shut her down fairly easily. don't get me wrong vayne seems to always pick up quite a few kills, but if you prevent her farm in the first 6-8 levels it seems to take away a lot of effectiveness. - - - - - maybe i stand corrected on eve but it seems there would still be better options for roamers. and i still don't see how she can be effective past mid game. i'll have to watch some replays

5/17/2011 2:08:59 PM

vayne can be good early on but she has to be played very offensive-minded.

the better eve's i've seen (any stealther really) is best in a solo queue. if they stun early to help get the kill and rack up some assists they can build out what they need faster and get to taking people out early. in solo queue they're less likely to agree on who should spend the money for an oracles and less people will buy them

5/17/2011 2:37:16 PM

rocked a 7.3k HP Nunu build with atimas last night - it was funny. not worth it to do again, but i had been wanting to try that just for the lulz. ended the game with close to 500 minion kills.

5/19/2011 2:43:29 PM

roamer eve is devastating in higher ranked matches. She makes it very very hard on the enemy jungler/laners because any extension can result in a quick death. The times when i have my good 5 man pre-comp we run 3 solo lanes, 1 roamer and 1 jungle. This leads to 3v1/2 ganking from about the 4 minute mark on and if they play defensive to avoid it we can get 30-60% more laning farm as a result. This does require you have 1-2 capable of handling a 1v2 lane, a strong mid and a quick practiced jungle. That being said the last few times we've done this we held their entire team to < 20 CS each for the 1st 20 minutes mostly due to fear. (Got off i think 3 kills total before they warded up and tower hugged).

5/19/2011 3:00:16 PM

still sounds very situational and relies heavily on the 1v2 matchups going well. if the other team has picked well they should zone you out of the lane and deny your exp and cs. if they do this in both lanes it would force your jungle or roam or both back in lane just to gain any exp. to me it seems more likely that, for the same reasons invis heros were banned in dota, eve gets banned just because it's annoying and requires you to have a 2nd strategy to counter. - - - - but everyone seems to be agreeing that if eve is effective it has to be early game. if she hasn't caused any real trouble by mid game it was probably a wasted pick.

5/19/2011 4:38:52 PM

well yeah, you still have to outplay them. but on equal footing thats probably a good strat to maybe push it in ur favor.

5/19/2011 7:23:44 PM

if they're denying you it should be pretty easy to get a 3v2 gank going on if you have a jungler and roamer.

i see more commonly a support babysitting a carry bottom in the and not hitting mobs at all.

5/23/2011 3:38:24 PM

I BABYSIT GRIMX ON ALL CHARS CUZ HE SUX.

5/23/2011 3:41:51 PM

his 6 zeal amumu is to die for tho.

5/23/2011 4:46:55 PM

almost to level 30 - should be there by this weekend ...it'll be nice to finally have masteries and runes filled out

^ huzzah and on to ranked games you go

5/24/2011 3:03:26 PM

I bought Lee Sin yesterday. I have mainly been playing Vayne and got pretty good with her, but I don't want to limit myself to ranged characters.

6/22/2011 12:45:27 PM

I'm glad to see others getting into this game. I have played for a while and am stay at ~65% win ratio. I am surprised no one has mentioned the awesomeness of Twisted Fate yet.

Btw my Username is "FrankisGame"

6/25/2011 6:49:06 PM

he's rape against a shitty team cuz he can easily mop up kills or be gay and backdoor, but he's so squishy and doesnt seem to scale as well as others.

6/25/2011 6:59:37 PM

^ this

there are more bad twisted fate players than there are good

6/26/2011 10:03:16 AM

I find TF is super strong late game. Do you build AD? If you build AP it's easy to mix in some tankyness with items like lichbane and banshee's veil without sacrificing face melt ability.

6/26/2011 10:59:42 AM

he is with a good farm or good ganks. but more often than not if you're not queueing with a couple people you go in to stack the odds and your team runs
