I'd say that you ward the river (since whenever Taric stuns you, there is a high possibility that the enemy jungler will gank), ward the bushes in the lane if Taric camps in them, and if you can stun him first, charge in and do some burst damage. He should be forced to use his stun at you close range, which means the duration won't be long, or he needs to run away to get his stun longer.

Ramkal God-forsakenstench. Even the gods thought that this beast smelled bad. Maybe thats why they locked it up in a cave.

Orianna's not really an assassin but you are short on mages. I'd recommend her because I'm on an Orianna kick, but she's super hard to play properly, be warned. A simpler mage that's still quite powerful is Morgana.

She's not, but I found that she can still do an impressive amount of burst damage to single targets if she can chain her abilities properly. I'm using "assassin" here to mean a champ that's built to take on single targets with little in the way of area damage. The opposite of "pusher", if you will.

She's also 1500 IP cheaper. There's also the fact that she's far more uncommon so people are less well-versed in how to play to counter her. Everybody knows Morgana. I'm actually kind partial to obscure champs just because it leaves people a bit off-balance. Plus, I get less "everybody knows with that champ you buy A, B, C, D and *then* E! fukin n00b lrn2play" 

You want an obscure champ? Get Karma. She's also a mage to boot!

This.
Nobody plays Karma ---> Nobody sees Karma
Nobody sees Karma ---> Nobody plays against Karma
Nobody plays against Karma ---> Nobody knows how to counter Karma
Nobody knows how to counter Karma ---> Nobody beats you when you play Karma
Nobody beats you when you play Karma ---> Infinite IP and endless amount of victories.

I usually have:

- Mason, Miner, Metalsmith
- Mason, Miner, Engraver
- Woodcutter, Carpenter
- Woodcutter, Carpenter
- Stone-, Wood-, Metal- & Bonecrafter
- Cook, Brewer, Farmer
- Expedition leader (later assigned architechture, butchery and tanning, often also animal training)

Rest of the jobs can be assigned on migrants.

Who am I playing? Should be easy to guess.

And of course, he's the one who basically made the 'pay now to get alpha' schtick famous, so why wouldn't he do that with his space game?

Uh. I dunno about making it famous. I mean, his game sold a lot, but it wasn't the only major release with that model. How about Mount & Blade? That sold well enough and operated under the same principle before Minecraft. In a few ways, you could even say Minecraft followed what happened with M&B all too much (like incorporating neat mod ideas into the main game rather than refining stuff already there).

I wouldn't be so much concerned with feature completeness (I actually think Minecraft could use more features, like a combat system that isn't total crap) as with plain coding quality. I mean, for something that uses pixelated textures, blocks for its geometry, and relatively simple shading, Minecraft runs pretty shit, I'd say. Like it heats up the computer faster than Crysis 2, Skyrim or Mass Effect 3.

I once looked at this size scale thing, it ranged from stuff like atoms and such to universes. Minecraft world was about the size of Neptune. That might be a part of the problem.

Uh holy crap that's a lot of health regen. Is that temporary from attacking a Q target?

Yeah, the Q heal increased my regen. Basic regen was 302 hp/5, which is quite much on it's own.

Huh, I see. Well, I'll scrap that idea and work on a shower or something. Thanks for the info.
