Good to see that other people play this game around here. I got close to 1600 in season 1 but since season 2 began I've been hovering around the mid 1200s and low 1300s.

I think I have same problem as you guys. I want to learn some tier 1 champions but I only play ranked games and thats really no place to be trying new things. Anyway, if you end up playing a game together I'll be happy to join.

I can't get to your ranked stats for some reason, but I do see in your match history that a few games ago you made the same mistake as flashjordnk: don't get Eleisa's Miracle ever, but especially not if you already have Mercury Treads. The tenacity does not stack.

The three of us OH LoLers should queue into a game some time.

Just got back from a pretty awesome (for my wallet and fun times), but hellish (on my head and workload currently) trip to Vegas. But I'd be down to play whenever.

I'm bummed I heard Diablo 3 opened the Beta for everyone this weekend. I missed it

Once in a while you luck into being forced to try something. A few weeks ago, I disconnected in champ select and random-picked free-week Malphite (who I didn't own and had literally never played, not to mention it was my first top lane game in the last 30 I had played). I went 4-2 but lost, so I tried again and won my next game with him.

I am not a stalker.

P.S. I noticed that you finally learned how to build Sion. And the passive of Rabadon's doesn't stack, so if you're in another custom game with Sion, you're much better off with a Void Staff or Lich Bane instead of a second deathcap.

Arguably DFG makes the most sense. On sion you hit stun, shield, DFG active (30% of their health), and shield burst. That should about do it to almost anyone. There isn't a much bigger burst in the game.

Also, on the ELO Hellickson side of things, my last game featured a teammates Lee Sin who went 0/4 within the first 10th minutes. How do you even do that?

We should definitely get an OH game in. I will try and remember user names to send some friend requests next time i am in.

I only really like DFG on Veigar, although I guess I could see it on Sion. I think it's better to rush the deathcap after a couple of dorans so that your shield is really difficult to pop midgame and does ridiculous AoE damage in team fights. As AP Sion, you don't want it getting to late game.

[Camden_yardbird]

Well I think it might be a matter of timing. If you are still in the laning phase the DFG is better. First, it cheaper so you can get earlier, second you get kage's pick which generates more gold, third it is better in 1v1 scenarios. Because it is so much cheaper (approx the cost of a wand) you can start building cap and complete that in time for the team fight phase. So for me its really an assessment of where the game is.

[flashjordnk]

I tried the DFG build, but honestly, it's kind of a pain. Using an active on an item and then clicking the right spot.

I've got to say misclicking skills/items/targets is still my biggest struggle in the game. Once my screen gets cluttered I'm terrible at focusing. So I rarely play the AD carry/Mid role because of that.

I've actually enjoyed AP Sion. But I've only been messing around in normal. I should be free for a game tonight after say 8pm if you guys are interested.

Do you use smartcast? Smartcast is literally a lifesaver. I use it on 95% of abilities now. You can set it up for summoners and item activations as well.

I may actually be going to the O's game tonight so I'm not sure I'm free tonight.

Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out.

Essentially, it autocasts wherever your cursor is, instead of requiring a left click. Makes it much easier to avoid misclicks, but can be tricky for skillshots if you don't have the range down pat and find the range indicator helpful. For someone like Sion, though, who is just point and click on one ability, or for characters like Veigar/Cass/Ryze who need to spam, it lets you cast a lot faster and with better reflexes.

So the new spectator mode just came out. I tried it out, and it's awesome. My stalking potential is now even higher, mwahahaha.

I've been whoah busy at work. I haven't played for the last week. I might this weekend, but it's all going on hold once D3 comes out!

Psh, work and spouses are for real people. But yeah, I am purposely not getting Diablo 3. I know how much time Diablo 2 took up, and I can't afford to get hooked on another game.
