How was your day? - League of Legends edition

[MasPan]

People sit in Nasus's AOE all day without realizing that it's actually hurting them. Could be a factor @ Corn

Won the last 3 games as Swain, starting to feel cocky.

first 2 were in mid, 1st time against Brand, second time against Katarina. In both matches i got 7-9 kills and died once or twice at most, the enemy surrendered both times.
3rd match i was up top with a Xin Zhao against Vayne and Fiddlesticks. I rocked that match too with 10 kills, and the enemy surrendered yet again.

I'm starting to see a pattern!

Well, Katarina's got a relatively bad time of things against Swain and many other ranged casters.

Katarina have a bad time with anyone with a hard cc.

[Razmos]

Yeah, Katarina sucked against Swain.

Anyway, played another match, another surrender!

I'm utterly nonplussed how you did double my damage >_>. I mean, I had like, all of the early game kills.

AP Nasus new meta.

4 gp10 LOL, i out golded you badly

Isn't gp10 items unique? i mean the gold gains does not stack with multiple of those?

If the gp10 items are different, they stack with each other.

O.o

I typically do very well against Swain whenever I play Kat >_> The healing reduction hurts his sustain a lot once he gets his ultimate.

[chrome]

I can't play an AP carry at all.

Played 4 games today for the first time since Tera came out. Won all 4. Almost 30 games out of the hole now. On top of that, I'm back up to 40,000 IP. :D

This is something I haven't observed but there's probably a third of a decent Kat player at my ELO

Guinsoo's pretty damn decent voice, lol

I can't really see how you come to that conclusion. I would actually see Katarina as a counter to Swain because she has healing reduction and the mobility to dance around his leash/snare. Swain also has no way to easily escape from her ultimate with hard cc or a blink. Katarina is definitely underrated these days and can easily go toe to toe with other casters like Morgana, Lux or Anivia to name a few.

What I usually see in this matchup is Kat Shunpoing in to ult, Swain roots and walks away. Kat gets killed by tower more often than not. Kat ends up underfarmed and does nothing all game because of repeated attempts to do this.

SECONDED.

Kat is about as hard counter as you get against Swain.

I think we all know where you're coming from. But I'ma say that a Kat ulting under your turret when she's not fed is a very rare occurence and mostly accidental. Hell, I see Kats use it to harass in the middle of a lane more than anything. If they're fed though, the ult is usually to outright kill you.

Something doesn't work the first time, HEY LETS KEEP REPEATING IT UNTIL IT WORKS.

The above makes perfect sense.

I forgot to post this when it actually happened to me, but... why am I so bad at most melee champions ;_;?

I've been so pumped for Udyr free rotation, because Udyr's hardly ever on free rotation. If I recall correctly, it's been the only time in Season 2 that he's been free. He stood out to me as a pretty awesome champion who was incredibly strong without an ult and I loved the idea of his 4 stances- sounded like they'd make for some totally badass fights. After a couple of practice games as him, I gave myself a couple of games with friends who I thought would be able to win even if I sucked ass. And unfortunately, I sucked lots of ass.

1. Jungle Udyr- 0/7/7. I was leveling decently early in the game up until level 10 or so, when I start falling behind. I can probably attribute this to a few reasons- getting carried away with ganks, died a couple of times trying to save teammates or trying to turn around a seemingly failed fight by arriving. The only reason I was really of any use this game was my stun and putting lots of good wards for my team.
2. Jungle Udyr- 4/10/10. I get to level 3 and once I kill Red, Olaf comes out of the bush and jumps me. I run away because I know that it's a very likely losing fight because of Olaf's true damage and his slow and since my health is already fairly low from fighting Red, I try to run. I've never really been counterjungled like this before and it completely caught me out of nowhere. Olaf kills me and gets First Blood. Since none of the lanes seem to be in any trouble, I try to level up in my jungle- and there Olaf is again. He starts appearing in the lanes for ganks, and I try to come in and help my teammates once he's there. Though we did manage to take down his teammates, taking down Olaf was a pain- and he was really good at killing my teammates. Some of my attempts to help ended in me dying or me having to run away after watching my teammates die. Olaf got fed, and he was practically unkillable at some point, so we surrendered.
3. Lane Udyr- 1/8/12. Frustrated with my experience being counterjungled by Olaf, I try Lanedyr. I'm solo top against Garen and Olaf up top. I know not to get close to them and basically just hold my turret and try to rack up my CS as best as I can, since I know it's incredibly unsafe to harass. After my first death at level 4 or so, Jax offers to help, since bot wasn't going that badly. I help him get a good number of kills and things were kinda cool. I don't really remember much of the rest, but I remember trying to initiate for my team; and I'd try to run away if I was dying and it seemed like I wouldn't land a kill out of staying any longer. I can't describe it very well, but a friend who asked me to play with him for this game said that I was playing too scared and passive. After the whole game was done, he said, "Never play Udyr again :/"

I remember having a similar experience with Garen when I first started, only I was too bloodthirsty and that caused me to die a lot- and so got yelled at. A friend backed me up and gave me advice and we won the game, but I never played Garen again. Why do I suck at melee champs like Udyr and Garen ;_;? I don't seem to have too much of a problem with Leona, and it seems like I'll be pretty fine playing as Riven- but why? Why do I suck at melee champs so badly?

and such is life more often than not at my ELO, the best I can do is not flip out at people when I play support.
