Well I did pick custom very easy char and just finished the 'Living in the wild' game course to get the stat bonuses which with a bit of luck really helped, off course karma seems to balance itself because I broke my arm trying to climb a tree in good conditions, low burden and with 80% climbing, but seeing as it was a 17m drop I'm glad it wasn't anything worse.

Spears help vs bears if you have a good skill in them because they have great defence qualities so counter-striking is always possible and you can get lucky to get more hits in, you might be quite lucky with a knife, I lost a battle with a driik maiden when using a knife with one character.... damn her flexible legs kicking me in the head.

Does anyone know if shields block arrows, I haven't found the njerpez yet (haven't been looking either) but I am slightly paranoid about being shot to death by them.

Yeah it's pretty bad to try and compare 5vs5 ranked and Solo/Duo Queue let alone Pro 5vs5.

You know who you are playing against in tournaments and you know what champions and team compositions they play as, it's ridiculous to try and use picks and bans in tournaments to compare with Solo/Duo Queue.

Might as well compare Dominions strategies with Summoner's Rift.

It seems pretty hard to get a sustainable settlement without killing someone, while searching for a settlement I was lucky enough to find a sole hunter in the woods and asking him where the nearest settlement was and then poking him in the head with a spear made life a lot easier for my character to actually have stuff to trade to get some nets.

This character is pretty lucky as well, found a bear but I was stuck behind some trees but I got a lucky shot off and the bear charged at me, except I couldn't see it and I was still surrounded by trees so I decided to climb one only to be interrupted by the bear pawing at my shoulder, managed to wield my spear and beat it in close quarters battle with only a bruised shoulder, took 2 days to carry all the meat cuts to a nearby settlement to smoke and now I pretty much have enough food to last me through autumn and early winter so I can just focus on finishing my settlement and making a huge trap fence.

My biggest issue now is trying to find the foreign traders (without breaking my arm again from climbing) and deciding which item to pay the ridiculous price for my bear fur for or search for some driik towns and hope that one of the shops has a large stack of really good items to trade my bear fur for.

I remember Serf City (aka the first Settlers game). It had multiplayer... if you had a serial port mouse for the second player so you could to play split-screen.

(I had one, but that feature never seemed to work properly. Oh well!)

I had that on an old Amiga, it was my favourite game ever, the noise the prospectors made while hunting for materials was the best.

Same, loved the prospectors.

I remember accidentally leaving it running while going out for dinner and coming back to find myself completely surrounded by the computer opponents but all my defenders in the watchtowers were upgraded to knights so it was quite easy to take back the map.

But to be fair any team which has AP Nidalee has amazing poke. The base damage is huge and the ratio is ridiculous, I don't think there are many champs which can do 150% AP/bonus AD on a non-ulti ranged ability, just Jayce comes to mind.

I'm not saying Nidalee is OP though because AP Nidalee just relies on Q and is much more useless in a close fight but a Nidalee on her own makes it extremely hard to baron or dragon, not only can she out-damage a smite but she can just pick off people so easily even when blind.

TF has similar range and cooldown but does much less scary damage even though he has potential to do more overall to an enemy team.

If only not for my crippling caninophobeia

No. if you just use 't' to shoot an arrow without wielding it, it will take an action as the game takes out the arrow and then shoots.
If you already have it in your hand you can shoot immediately.

This is obviously only useful for the first shot.

Huh interesting, last time I tried it said I had to take it off first or something, but hey if it works then that's cool.

Of course don't take my advice for anything, I get my players stuck throwing rocks at squirrels in trees.

Does coastal fishing work all year round? I have it on easy mode by being a Kuikka and starting with 'I wanted to be a fisherman' and with ritual I get 95% Fishing skill and starting with 2 nets means I can get hundreds of fish easily, the only annoying thing is the Driik don't seem to want my fish that much, only the pike and trout, I can't even get rid of my 100 roasted roaches.

863
also you don't have to wield arrows, just the bow. Wielding arrows mean you had 1 less I think

Q dmg+8% max health, Q dmg+8% missing health, that on it's own is enough to do lots of damage and then bring on the spiderlings.

Vi is also quite powerful in jungle, much more then Lee and Olaf but Elise jungle just has the crazy clear speed and easy escape if she ever gets too far for her own good.

She is probably the best jungler in the game at the moment, she can clear jungle early super quick with her W which not only gives her a better attack speed bonus then Xin Zhao but heals her 4 (+2%AP) health for every hit she and her spiderlings make, and her spiderlings will tank damage from jungle so she doesn't need to start building any items to help her jungle. And then she has a nice long range gank and then she can stun straight away.

Oh and champions can teleport to her spiderlings so she doesn't even need wards to get teammates to go to her and she can chase target while team teleports in.

The mana cost increases were a needed nerf to her seeing as her Q does crazy damage but because she can be in spider form from the start she is still deadly even with low mana.

Elise laning is tough but not impossible to beat but an Elise jungler is always crazy strong, she can clear jungle so fast she can get her double buffs up and still have time to gank enemy jungler at their second buff.

Diana isn't op, Elise is op, I think her cooldowns between forms should be linked so she can't just do 6 abilities in a row. She can spam spells quicker then Ryze at lvl 3.

Zhonya's is a decent choice on AP Trynd, Seeker's Armguard is a nice early item and zhonya's is useful for just burning time to wait for a cooldown to spin over a wall or activate ultimate.

I'm actually liking AP Leona top, it works well if the enemy top isn't too tanky, with a Sheen and ignite and level 6 the burst just comes out is crazy.

Does seem pretty damn cool, but already going for Elite Dangerous so I can't really back this one now. I can see a lot of scope for Star Trek fans although they have ARTEMIS as well.

Random joke leads to page long discussion on the viability of diamond armor.
Goddamit guys can we talk about something related to the game?

Not when someone is wrong on the internet!

Like I said earlier, plates. You could fuse them with some metal.

How do you fuse diamonds to metal? You can melt some metal into a pool and pour some diamonds in them but the metal won't bond with the surface of the diamond, any diamonds on the surface of this plate armour will just fall off unless it is embedded by surrounding metal (much like a ring), but a blow will still loosen it and the diamond is doing nothing to defending the armour or user.

The problem I have with diamond armour is that how do you get it together? You can't just glue it together, and it's incredibly hard to melt diamonds today let alone in the middle ages.
