Speculation going around about the last new champ for 2015. Some woman named Illaoi. She figured pretty big into the "Shadow And Fortune" story, so it would make sense. And she sent Hecarim running like a bitch. So I''d enjoy seeing her as a character.

Vlad is a pretty favoured character of mine actually (most played top laner this season), and CSing is a big weakness of his actually. You're supposed to CS with his E and Q, but you're also supposed to use that to trade, which is one of his primary weaknesses. His auto attack animation is downright infuriating to CS with though. If you can CS with Vlad or Swain, you can pretty much CS with anyone.


Do you have any of the skins?

I only play him Tom Cruise/Lestat mode.

I found the CS-ing very difficult at first but now assuming I can stay in line without being pushed to tower or dying I can get slightly over 50 farms in 10 minutes and at the elo I'm playing at its working pretty well. I use auto-attacks to last hit while selectively using E to back me up when I miss. Q is saved for harass but at higher levels or when I'm low on health I start using it on minions too to farm. If he tries to melee me I just step back and Q him.

I find that so long as I don't get pushed out of lane or killed and trade evenly, Vladimir becomes pretty strong late game. The problem is that if I get a strong enemy pick like Riven its very hard. How well I do has a lot to do with how well I can predict the other guy's movements. I find Riven very hard to anticipate and her attacks do too much damage.


I have Vandal and Nosferatu

Mystery gifts can get you stupid things, Nosferatu is one of the ugliest skins in the game.

League really brings out the worst in some people, even friends who are perfectly respectable/friendly people in real life just become total asshats when in League.

Season ends in 8 days, I would just grind out the placements and try and pray you get silver. After that just don't play ranked until you improve.

I only played ranked until I hit Gold then quit it.

I've spent so much it's sad to admit.

$400+

My brother gifted me with the Marquis Vladimir skin.

I then bought Rugged Garen when it is discounted with the starting RP of ~500 RP in October 2015.

Those are the only two skins I have. I haven't actually spent any real money myself.

Sadly, I don't think I have enough RP to get 16 champions in time, unless I spend real gold I don't think this will happen.

Discounting skins gifted to me I guess around 600 as a ballpark number.

One of my friends spent well over 1200+ on skins, champions and wards...

Wow

How did you convince people to give you 600+ skins? You must be persuasive/popular

No I spent about 600 dollars on skins. I've only ever gotten about 12 skins as gifts.

Mystery gifting is my bane, I've probably spent half my money on mystery gifts.

A lot of my friends play League a lot so I use League mystery gifts for birthday gifts often. Also trading, a friend of mine really wants Red Card Kat and doesn't want to wait for the next WC and is constantly mystery gift trading in order to get it. The funniest part of that is, two of her friends (myself being one) have gotten the skin in mystery gifting but she hasn't.

I know right. Some friends from high school got so toxic I didn't play with them anymore (though I kept them as friends, just didn't play League with them again). Hell, I myself get a bit toxic sometimes too, though I generally keep it under wraps (or at least curse a lot out loud but avoid harassing my team in the chatbox).

As for the spending question, I don't know how much money I must've spent in League, though most of it wasn't my own, so meh. Anyway, if I converted it to dollars... 100? 200 at most maybe?

I heard the stories of the legendary builds of OCE and made a smurf anlong time ago. I think I called it Riven the Unfed.

The AP Darius was a good highlight.

Why do people act like switching lanes is some form of heresy? I swear, it's like you insult their mothers by so much as suggesting it.

Mostly tryhards that think they know everything about the game when lane switching is a valid strategy.

They're stupid. -shrugs-

I admit I rarely do it, even when it's probably recommendable, because I'm stubborn, but I don't get mad about someone suggesting it.

Well, It's hard to admit, but I've spent...................(all the way at the bottom)




























































































$0. The only money I ever used on RP was from a JB-HI-FI card my friend gave me on my birthday.
