Yi: Lets get blown up in a second. I've plenty of resists cause of my w skill, who cares that it makes me stand still, doing nothing.
Builds are a huge part of how the game works. I dare you to win games itemless and you'll see how big of an impact they have.
With that much AP I wouldnt want signed flinging me. It sad his team was so terrible he had to build a deathcap to carry his bad team.
Also reread my post. I never said builds were useless like you thought i implied, Just that arent the most imporant. Heck I see some really Crazy builds when their lane and the game.
You can have the best build in the game for your champ but you got to have the knowledge of items/skills/and game mechanics work.

I play glass Yi with a huge success rate
Maybe you're doing it wrong
Chaz Wrote:I disagree, yi and singed both had pretty decent standard builds. Knowing how to play is more important then having the right build. Build helps but knowing how the game works and how all the champ works and using it to your advantage makes a bigger impact.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]Had two good games today~
First game I carried, and there was this feeding ryze who fed them mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They got fat.
I didn't get a screeny but yesterday my duo partner and I were playing a ranked game (this is mid 1500's btw).
I was jungle lee sin because he wanted to mid that game against an amumu jungling, obviously I decided to invade.
They apparently were making their way down the river on purple side while we went up the bushes behind their blue.
I caught sight of one and Q'd him, drawing his entire team after me so I backed towards my team and a giant level 1 fight erupted.
Alistar on the enemy team decided to flash stun about 3 of us, taking a few shots on his way, so I Q him and grab FB.
We managed to chase down the entire team and ace them before minions hit the lanes!
I gave their blue to WW who was top (anyone who knows anything would be scared of that pomegranate since mana is his only holdback early game) and he snowballed hard.
I also gave my blue to my duo buddy who was cass mid, obviously that was a won lane as well. We kept timers on amumu's blue the entire game and he never got a single one.
Another noteworthy moment was when I counterjungled his red, I snuck up under it behind dragon and dropped a ward down only to find mumu with |____| hp left about to kill his red.
I smite stole it from the bush and proceeded to kill him.

Maybe your enemies are doing it wrong. Any other glass cannon with one cc skill, laughs at your glass Yi. I doubt players in the level 25 range fully grasp the concept of backdooring correctly.

Neither do players in the 1400 elo range apparently. Yes, there's someone that only plays backdoor Yi, and he takes pains to get the counters banned.
EDIT:
Traditional AD + support bot lane... IN DOMINION!
Their choice of champs was unfortunate. I flew a badass kite that game, and its name is Frozen Mallet.
Also, Karthus is such an pimento, camping points and whatnot.

Purp's pretty good at banning out what would beat whatever champion he wants to play.
Corn Wrote:...where did you pull purp was level 25?
I meant that the guy whose build I quoted was in the level 25 range. He shouldn't use a build of which he can't make efficient use of yet. Regardless, I admit that definitely wasn't a real bad build, but you must admit some of the other builds on there are plain ridicilious.
After the fiasco that was the first game we played today, I present to you : WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE TELLS ME HOW TO PLAY SUPPORT ON SKYPE (in this case it was user: modular)
Spoiler
It took me a game to figure out when I could get a stun off, certainly helped by modular's good ulting this time around instead of me not noticing Corn's traps last game. Need to ult more ._. And Kaj owned on jungle Fizz, as you can clearly tell.
also got more gold than the other team playing support
STILL TIED FOR LAST THOUGH
also also large hammer KSes, both my kills were accidental autoattacks.

it really helps being on skype, i see too much red to be able to type out how to play support.... but i play bot so much that i know where you want wards so its really easy to ask and direct etc on skype (especially when you have someone willing and wanting to learn). and every time i ask "got a ward?" the answer is yes.
but dude, dat fizz
kaj fucking sits at maokai's blue while he does all the work outside the brush. free buff, free kill. and we even got there in time to make it a 2 assist kill! asldfhaslddfjkl;asjfl;asdjf
well double post but after a comeback victory as support nunu (0/4/17!) with a vayne who had no clue where to be in lane against a nautilus/graves i just cant help myself. this end of game chat got me thinkin:
Quote:Grande Ricardo: swain carry
Rutank: why does winning early mean troll it ?
Rutank: lol
Grande Ricardo: pro skarner
Rutank: swain you were getting raped
SGFluttershy: fucking lee
RichardHead: ty for carry swain
SGFluttershy: throw like a dumbass
Rutank: it was 1 fight where you got all your kills
RichardHead: and skarner too
kearndog: skarner and swain carried so hard
Grande Ricardo: haha
pitamorgo: gg
Shunken:
Grande Ricardo: free week swain
Rutank: stupid team threw this pomegranate like crazy
Grande Ricardo: ftw
Shunken: 21/8 with skarner now
Rutank: dude swain you sucked
Rutank: it was skarner that won that pomegranate
Grande Ricardo: xD
Rutank: 1 pull and it was over
Grande Ricardo: well duh
Rutank: stupid graves attacked skarner all day
Grande Ricardo: i just helped him
RichardHead: er
Rutank: instead of squishies
RichardHead: swain helped us bot so much
Rutank: i'm just so mad
Rutank: man
Rutank: this pomegranate happens all the time
RichardHead: u should be
RichardHead: lol
Rutank: we start raping early game
Rutank: means troll it hard
RichardHead: vayne had no clue
Rutank: run into your inner turrets
Rutank: fight 2v5
Rutank: dumb pomegranate
Rutank: all day long god why is 1500's so stupid?
RichardHead: lol
elo hell is the slice where you arent good enough to easily stomp and outsmart the other team by yourself and carry games, but youre just bad enough to not understand how your team lost. in this game, our vayne bitched all through laning because he wanted a healer support, when i always had him bloodboiled and he had roll. he still constantly autoattacked creeps willy nilly and raged when he didnt understand that you cant push against a blitzcrank/leona/nautilus. so he got caught 4-6 times. hell, i got caught 4 times because of him. i always had our bush warded too. but we had some crazy awesome ganks from our skarner and swain, so while we lost lane hard, the rest of our team fed off of it and got me just enough gold to live in late teamfights, where the enemy team was way too short on cc to 1) prevent my ult from going to completion and 2) keep me from iceballing graves, lee, or yorick. we won every major team fight in spite of losing top and bot and trading mid.
Both top laners were completely full of themselves. WW would attempt to 1v4 and then grill us. "I CAN'T TANK EVERYTHING" "WHERE IS MY TEAM" Sion was just ripping on his team after the game. I honestly should've lost that lane to Brand, I was rarely above 50% health for most of the laning phase. I pretty much won that because my jungler ganked mid most often and their jungler ganked bot most often.
