Bay 12 Games Forum

I decided that I want to play Warwick.
I also decided I wanted to go mid.
I even decided that I wanna go as a tank.

Result.

I got first blood, most kills in my team and shared the least amount of deaths (Ali, Cho and me), soaked up most damage, healed the most, and I got "what the fuck is he building"-award of the match.

With my games as Sion, I have about 2-3 as AP, some more as a tank Sion and 20-40 (i think) as DPS Sion.
Now, DPS Sion needs to be fed. Doesn't have to be by champion kills, but killing minions works well, maybe even better (since you get loads of HP with Enrage). Getting criticals help you a lot.

I usually roll with his as Vampiric Scepter first, so you can keep Enrage on all the time: The lifesteal outheals the health cost on Enrage.

Next up boots and Executioner's Calling.
Then most likely Avarice blade --> Ghostblade later on
2 x Zeal
Infinity Edge.


You'll crit most of the time, and with only IE and Ghostblade you still have tons of attack damage with Enrage on. Your ulti makes you win 1 vs 3 fights if you don't get stunned. Stun someone and crit them only twice, half of their hp gone. Whoops.

Consider getting Atma later on and selling Executioner's Calling. If you have mana issues and can't rely on golem, buy Manamunee (or if they have loads of amgic dmg, Chalice as an early game item, don't buy it late).



Also, wanna know a sure way to get a first blood at Co-Op vs AI? Pick Nocturne, buy boots, go mid, take Q. When Ryze/Annie comes close, bait them little further, and then
1. Q them
2. ignite them
3. Autoattack
4. ??
5. Profit.

If needed, use Ghost to get them even faster.

I was thinking, should I try out Hybrid Swain?

• Start with Meki + 2 HP Potions
• Get Tear of da Goddess and boots
• Sorcerer's Boots + another Meki
• Chalice of Harmony + 3 x Hextech Revolvers
• WotA
• Gunblade
• Manamunee
• Another Gunblade
• If I get focused too much, sell Chalice and buy Banshee

Why I think this could work:

• Tons of attack damage rape towers well, can farm minions without using any mana
• With Lizard buff, Lazercrow, Nevermore and Gunblade's slow it is fun to escape me
• Spellvamp on all abilities
• Spellvamp on ulti = +100% damage caused heals you
• Lifesteal
• Nobody knows how to counter a hybrid Swain.

About this soraka/taric thing, i like soraka better, but she's more like a support for mages and to counter the enemy mages, while taric is more geared toward helping and countering AD characters.

Taric's skill heals himself and his ally at the same time, but soraka's imbue gives mana to both her and an ally. She gives a passive magic resist bonus while Taric gives a passive armor bonus (and the stuff from his ulti, can't remember what it is). Soraka can instantly silence, Taric can stun with a delay. Starcall debuffs magic resist while Taric debuffs armor with his crystal explosion thing. So yea they're kinda balanced, but Taric can't instantly heal the whole team for a substantial amount across the whole map, period. Also, since her heal gives armor, she's still quite useful against AD.
Another funny thing i remembered : i played against a vlad mid, with soraka, and he couldt do a thing to me, because every time he closed on me to drain my HP, he got silenced and hit, and the little damage he could do, i could heal instantly.

Oh btw i just noticed, starcall's MR debuff can actually stack up to 20 times for a total of -160 MR o_O

I usually don't like to lane against a Vladimir at mid, but with 2 champs I usually have no prob against him:
Soraka and Malzahar.

To those who say "Soraka can't mid", you better be against a good solomid Soraka before you say so.

Huh, interesting.


I'm not much of a team player though.

1. invite 3 random guys in Steam
2. Do your part
3. Brag that you're the best teamplayer when you do better than others

The point was that it's where her allegiance lies.

Otherwise we may as well say there's only two Noxians.

So far as I know, Katarina, Urgot, Swain, Sion, Singed and Warwick are Noxian. Which 2 are only?

Singed and Warwick are from Zaun.

Ah yes, I mixed them there as well since I confused them with living in Noxus and working for Noxus.

My first game vs these new bots.
And my first time as MF.
WarWick Bot is utter garbage, but Anniebot can gank qute well and do other stuff as well.

Also, soloing baron and having 543 attack damage is quite neat, especially with Infinity Edge and all that lifesteal.


EDIT: My second game against the bots, as AP Mundo.
