Will of the Ancients is just about the AP equivalent. it gives me 50 AP and nearby allies 30 Ap and 20% life steal. Its a very good item but its a lil expensive for my budget and the items that build into it aren't ideal for me. Honestly its an item that you and Gordon could get and you would both benefit from the bonuses.

I guess the Zeke's is good for Leisher cause he puts out that damage and helps keep him alive. And it also helps with scooty cause he is usually some sorta AD type champ.

And i looked up to see if Will of the Ancients stacks when two different people get it and it does. 40% spell vamp now (it was nerfed from 25% a while back) is pretty damn good. you and gordo just need to be near each other... Which we know isn't a problem...

Yeah, I started pushing dual WOA a few days ago. If 2 AP peeps and our support all get it, then all of a sudden we are stacking 60% <s>Life Steal</s> Spell Vamp in a group fight. That's huge.

Same is true of Zeke's Herald for life steal. Good stuff, that.

I think if we aren't stacking SOMETHING.... Frozen Mallet, WOA, whatever, then we are wrong.

No, three WOtA's will not stack, only 2. And since i dont need AP its a waste on me, so maybe Gordo and Cake could think of getting this. And since Zeke's helps our AD and our Jungler and it gives me health and cooldown reduction and is cheaper, i will be sticking to that item.

Item #1
Changes coming to LoL according to a red:
-They're going to revisit Guardian Armor and possibly drop stats on it.
-After Season 2, they're going to "fix" top lane. Whatever that means.

Item #2
They are now banning folks for false reports.

Lots of funny in those links. Riot gets on the forum and actually posts stats on one of the peeps complaining about being banned for false reports.

So be careful about your reports.

Also, be aware that they do want to eventually add pre and post game chat to Tribunal. I'm sort of bummed about that. I think post game chat should be a free for all. Nothing better than staying silent through a game where folks are trash talking you, and then blasting them in post game chat.

Item #3

The next patch's notes:
Alistar

Headbutt range reduced from 650 to 600.
Base movement speed reduced to 300 from 305.

Corki

Valkyrie cool down time increased to 26/23/20/17/14 seconds from 20/18/16/14/12 seconds.

Diana

Crescent Strike damage reduced to70/110/150/190/230 (+0.7*AP) from 80/125/170/215/260 (+0.8*AP).
Lunar Rush's cooldown increased to 25/20/15 seconds from 20/16/12 seconds.
Base HP/5 reduced to 6 from 9.

Evelynn

Dark Frenzy 's cooldown lowered to 15 seconds at all levels from 20.
Ravage's range increased from 225 from 185.
Agony's Embrace cooldown reduced to 120/90/60 Seconds from 120/100/80 Seconds.

Ezreal

Essence Flux now deals 70/115/160/205/250 (+0.8*AP) magic damage from 80/130/180/230/280 (+0.7*AP)
Mystic Shot's mana cost reduced to 28/31/34/37/40 Mana from 30/35/40/45/50 Mana.

Gragas

Body Slam's mana cost increased to 75 from 50.

Graves

Shen

Shadow Dash's cooldown increased to 16/14/12/10/8 Seconds from 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 Seconds.

Apparently, they banned .2% of players reporting. Actually, I think the number is even smaller because I think it's .2% of another percentage of players reporting, but I can't find where I saw that. It's in the forums somewhere.

Here's Pendragon calling out a player, by name, publicly and explaining why he was suspended for a week for false reporting:
FlavenMan,

In your 1100 games you have reported 896 people. You have issued reports in about 40% of all of your games (the average is roughly 5-8%). When dealing with

That in and of itself wouldn't be a problem except that a very large percentage of these reports are inaccurate. Some stats:

- You have 8 different games where you reported every other player in the game
- You have 54 different games where you reported every other player on your team (very few of these were full premades)
- Of these reports, a minimum of 60% of them are false (the criteria we did this)
- You are reported in ~15% of your games (5-8x the average)

Reading comments, reporting people for "gg noobs" seems to be the majority attitude. Good for the community.

I want to play a ranked game and ban Corki, Graves, and Ezreal. How much would that screw up the pros since those are the AD Carries of choice?

I'm going to get some food and then I'm going to fire up some solo queue games and see how the Internet does here. I've been at this hotel before and think I've played here, so. . . I'll keep you posted.

Been thinkng about my Nunu/Promote tactic in pvp. As we saw last night, it can work, but 3the things need to happen:

Nunu needs to be solo in the lane.

There has to be a jungler so Nunu is only laning against one enemy

Got to place wards so i can not get caught too often by the jungle gank.

I think i really surprised Yi in that lane when nunu came out aggressive and pushing hard.

I will probably be on tonight but doubtful for sat and sun.

Based on his wife's Facebook post, Gordo is out all night. So unless there's some Cakes on, it looks like yet another evening without LoL.

Sorry about my lack of availability. Tons going on. But, I have been squeezing in some practice. I wanted to add a third strong mid to my list. Ziggs and Veigar being the first two. I was watching the tournaments and two champs stood out. Twisted fate and Gragas. I've never seen Gragas played well, till today. He has a TON of utility and good escape ability.

His Q is rolling the exploding barrel out. It explodes when activated or after a 5 second timer.
W - Gives him a little bit of mana and increased damage and damage reduction.
E - Dashes forward and slows/damages at first contact.
R - Throws his barrel and it immediately explodes doing a whole bunch of damage and throws the enemies a good distance.

In the tournament, he'd use his ult to scatter the enemy so they could isolate and focus. When the enemy team came in, he blow them apart. Some up closer to their turrets, some away, etc. The enemy, for the most part, would avoid him so he couldn't shoot them into danger. But when the action was crazy, it happened. His E can dash through walls. I've never had a champ that could do that, so remembering I can is hard right now. His Q has long distance, but it has some delay as the barrel travels. The W seems, for the most part, no big deal. It's free to cast, so I spam it. But not sure how much of a difference it makes.

For the most part, I've been using it to push enemies away from friends if we are losing, or towards us if we are winning. Of course there are the times where I do the opposite by mistake as well. That will come with practice.

I was messing around with Annie as well, but, I dunno. Good nuker with her bear and all. But. Too squishy and vulnerable. No escape other than her stun to stop pursuing enemies. Which works really well. But Veigar's is WAY better. I like that all of Gragas's abilities are AOE. So it team fights, I'm hitting everyone. Slowing the target. I'm pretty tanky with lots of health (but no resist. I go all AP.). I can move the enemy when I want. Ult has a pretty short cool down.

Draw back. He's melee. So, it's hard to get last hits in mid against a ranged champ. Which almost all of them are. So, my early farm is somewhat weak. But I catch up pretty good when I start blowing up entire minion waves with one barrel.

I think he'll make a good third mid option for us.
