So is this the rise of Trundle top lane again with all the tanky junglers roaming around?

played a couple of sejuani games. Lost the first one with unremarkable stats cause I didnt know she was nerfed and overplayed her early.
Second game I farmed harder and played more carefully and went 21/4/13.

Still seems broken, although now you have to try a bit harder.

i think Cinderhulk might be strong enough right now that you should consider building it even if you're not playing a low dps tank jungler than needs the help clearing. getting the HP and Sunfire passive so early really opens up a lot of item build path options.

Well certain champs like amumu that had multiple build paths switched to full tank and is back super OP

It's getting tiny nerfed atm on pbe and will get a big one shortly. Players hate megatank meta almost as much as OP assassin metas

Yeah I played a game yesterday against a Zac Jungle and Sion top lane. I was Xerath mid and Lucian was our adc. We just had zero way to melt through both of those guys and they did enough damage to our back line to kill us before we could get through the front line, let alone get to the carries.

Super tanks are OP right now, so you really need the hypercarries like Jinx, Vayne, or Kog'maw at adc.

riot such amazing, starts S5 by revamping jungle for diversity, so that ppl stop only playing super tank junglers.
they make jungle camps harder so that tank junglers with no sustain have a harder time. then they add a super OP tanky+DoT item for tank junglers with no sustain
wat

Athenes buff was so good for ziggs just a matter of time till he is meta.

Tank meta is getting annoying. Seeing Maoki in 90% of LCS games is just getting boring.

+ it's not even fun to play against a super tank

are tank shredders like vayne/kogmaw/jinx going to be meta now?

Kog already is meta and arguably the best adc but he's fairly dependent on getting Lulu

Vayne has issues with range but Jinx Kog probably see more and more play

I just started playing LoL a little over a week ago. I have plat SC2 experience, but other than that, my computer skills are just terrible. Anyone else just starting out or have any useful tips?

I've been playing ADC but have also been playing a bit of mid with Ezreal. I've been sticking to him so I can get used to one character as I progress through the ranks. I've been focusing on CS most of the time, but I have no feel about timings and when I can push other characters out of lane. It seems like half the time I end up with a great KDA and the other times I go 0/1000000/10.

My friends who have been playing a lot told me that I should learn to orb walk, but I haven't really figured out how to do it.

I've been playing with some friends who are all L30 but I was told that I'm probably getting "smurf detected" and was encouraged to make a fresh account to learn how to play. I couldn't find much from my search of smurf dectection.

a lot of it comes with experience. if you want lessons, look up the leaguecraft videos on youtube, they're kinda old but they still teach the fundamentals well.

wow cueball... there's a name i havent heard in a long time!

dont make a new account. your MMR will adjust on the fly. just grind to 30 and learn the game.

im diamond and i dont know what orb walking is, so im pretty sure you're ok.

orb walking is just walking between autoattacks. i'm sure you know how to do it karak, even if it's not needed on fid

well yes i know how to do that lol.

you do need it on fid, esp when ganking early w/ red buff.

Yeah well can't compare fid to an attackspeedbased champion or ADC. With baseattackspeed there is really not much to do but once you got some attackspeed it get's harder and you have to be careful to not cancel your autos. Becuase my mechanics are garbage I'll never be a good adc tho.

ya. "on-hit" effects in dota 1 were called orb modifiers, hence orb-walking = walking while doing "on-hits".

Stutterstepping(marines) or simply kiting in SC2 I guess. The only champion I can really do it well with is Udyr, don't know why I'm garbage on everything else.

yeah. i don't play ADC or mid at all so it's easy for me (low attackspeed)

of course, kalista is the best champ to orbwalk/stutterstep on since she hops

yeah this is by far the term i hear used most in LOL (although kiting is used to inherently mean "kiting" backwards), but yeah stutter stepping is what orb walking refers to, i assume only people who played a lot of dota still use the term orb walking when talking about league

i think you need to get used to or "enjoy" (for lack of a better term) the way auto animations work on champs to get good at that. like i have some champs where i just really like how their auto animations work with stutterstep and i'm much better at doing it with them than other champs where it feels off/clunky and i end up cancelling a lot of my autos or just right clicking for some unknown reason. i think sivir is prob my favourite for this (i guess her passive helps but it's more about how she autos, lol it's hard to explain), 2nd fav is prob ori (i LOVE her AAs lol) and then cait

Draven got to catch the axes to get the big snowball passive

Damn Udyr is freelo totally forgot how good that champion can be if played well.

Unless they pick Janna then you cry and do absolutely nothing

Microing roaches and hydras in sc2 taught me to do this.
