  lol I always get focused first when I play as ez or sona. That's why I always have the most deaths in a game. If I get focused first by 3 people the tanks can't keep them all off me so I die but I always do some damage first. Especially as sona I get picked off asap. Xin and Ashe don't like me as sona D:
  
  edit: Then again I'm summoner lvl 29 so I play with lvl 30s so they know how to play in 5v5s. 3v3s nope not at all...

  No one likes to play tanks because you can't carry your team playing a tank. Everyone in solo queue wants to be the carry. It's damn annoying when the first person to select a character auto locks in Ashe and spams "tank tank tank." When no one else locks in a tank that person is usually the one to complain about it. If you ignore the team composition and auto lock in a carry, you'd better damn well carry our team.

  ^ Twas really guilty of that.
  Tanks aren't that fun for me to play for me. Are there any ranged tanks?

  Activate W-R-E-Q is your main combo, with lots of normal attacks afterwards. You should at least get a kill/assist with that if you can knock someone up into the air with your R. You have the potential to Tower-dive, but do it carefully.
  
  Get a Doran's Shield or a Sapphire Crystal+2 HP pots. He's very mana-intensive so nab Clarity. For the other summoner spell, it should be flash but since you aren't level 12 yet(I don't think so), take Teleport or Ghost.
  Nab a Mercury Threads or Ninja Tabi depending on the enemy team. Then start building a Sunfire Cape.
  After that get a Raudin's Omen and then a Frozen Heart. Games should end by then. This is what I use, and it's pretty darn effective.
  
  If you're feeling bad because you mess up your Ultimates, it could be because your team isn't helping you after you initiate, or you're just not using it at the right time. It can turn the tides of a team-fight.
  
  I can't exactly help you right now since I gotta go but yeah. Good Support Characters would be Soraka, Janna, and Sona, and Morgana although they're all mages. Taric is also a tank with good support abilities.

  Better try him out soon, Champion Rotation comes tommorow. So no more free Taric/Malphite. :< I liked Malphite.

  LMAO. I played ad/tank Taric and man with a manamune he's able to keep up his ult for a long time. +90 AD to him and minions take towers down so much faster with the creep buff damage to towers now. It's so annoyingly cheap :P

  I just played a 68 minute game. Lost.
  Our team got off to a somewhat bad start, and the Jarvan on our team was somewhat bipolar. He would rage when we didn't surrender, feed several times, play seriously again, and then rage again. At one point, when he started telling the enemy team where everyone on our team was, they got pissed at him and told him to shut it. He ended up somewhere around like 2/19/6. Thanks to that, we ended up losing all pretty much all our turrets and inhibs, except for top.
  The whole time, though, our team is catching up despite this guy, and we manage to pass them. We're able to push down 2 of their inhibs and almost kill the 3rd inhib turret, but by then, we can't really group up and push because someone on their team will just backdoor the Nexus. They ended up succeeding on the 3rd backdoor.
  
  It was a good game, but I'm pissed that the Jarvan was whining the whole time and trying to ruin it for everybody else, even though the rest of our team ended up doing very well; by end game, they weren't really getting any kills off of us, except Jarvan. A close game, but it would have been so much better if this guy hadn't decided that the majority's decision to not surrender overrode his own. I ended up scoring 23/7/17 on Warwick.
  
  
  That's all. Just wanted to vent.

  LONGEST GAME TIME GO!
  
  I think I had 1 hour 28 minutes once. Both teams had early-game champs (Garen, LeBlanc, Swain, Ezreal) so nobody was really doing much damage, and everyone was afraid to do anything incase it ended up costing them the match.
• Shanghai wrote on 2011-03-07 05:55
  I had an hour match. We ended up winning although we were losing for the majority of the game. :>
  
  @Mei: I'm not sure. Try Morgana, she's usually just a bit tanky so she can survive long enough for her ulti to work. Not to mention her armor ratios are just a tad bit higher than other Mages.

  Lies! Ezreal is not an early game champ! Ryze's Q does more than Ezreal's Q at level 1, and doesn't need to be aimed, and has less cooldown.
  
  I think the most ridiculous game I ever played was a 55 minute 3v5, where I was on the team of three as Ezreal (this was after his massive nerfs when he was considered underpowered). Lost, of course.
  
  @Shanghai: Is Morgana's ult canceled by Zhonya's? If not, you could always try ulting and then going into stasis for the duration. If it's in the middle of a big team fight, it'll be difficult for people to run out of range.
• Lexaeus wrote on 2011-03-07 15:16
  Lol Ezreal isn't an early game champ anymore after the nerfs on him imo. He's in my opinion now a hit or miss like corki. You can have a really good one or a really bad one (me though I've only played like 5 games with him so bleh) Caitlynn is more of an early game champ with her q being massively strong in the beginning but paling late game when it just tickles people -.-
  
  Longest game I played was 96 minutes long xD They kept on taunting/trolling and jibing at us. They had us at inhib yet we managed to ace them 5 times even though they had baron buff :) Of course we lost because super creeps and yi took out the nexus but still proves them right for trolling us :P
• Liraiyu wrote on 2011-03-07 21:23
  The new champ... Looks so cool...
  Well, there goes all my IP again. I hope Riot is happy.
