Theres alot of good stuff to it i like alot of the changes they made.

i like the new items

I like the new support items, but I feel like the new AD Carry items are useless. Too many people build Hurricane who shouldn't. It's really only good on Varus, Kog, and Twitch, but I see almost every Caitlin and Ashe and Graves building it too. I wish the new jungle items were better. Machete by itself is good but I usually end up selling the spirit stone to get real items by midgame.

My summoner name is Solbor, and favorite champ...hard to choose when you own them all. I'd say maybe Leona, and Riven.

I've always had trouble playing Leona. Any tips?

I think League is fun, but it can get VERY frustrating and repetitive sometimes. But every once in a while... you have a GREAT team fight... Bliss!
No idea! I haven't played all of them!!
I'm rabbles. But don't let my high level (ish) deceive you, I suck. xD

lol that goes with a lot of people... they could have played beginner bots all the time...

I always feel bad being like the worst person in a PVP gameee, so I usually don't play PvP. I might once I hit lvl 30 and can do ranked games. Play people my own elo.

dont do elo hell... im stuck in elo hell bc of people going afk, dcing or just being bad

Would be better if you could tell me what you mean by trouble. She's not really difficult honestly. Whenever you want to engage on enemies hit your W for a defense increase, and then engage with your E. Once you get to them you can choose to pop the stun with your Q, or wait it out and stun a bit later. Also her E when you fire it you can always flash and E them to effectively double its distance, and snag them when they think they're safe. Her R is simple too just wait till you can get the most amount of people in the center of it as possible, or atleast catch one in the stun and slow everyone else at the very least. Build nice and tanky, and start with a health regen bead then build to philo stone. Also get a frozen mallet if you'd like. I know she does magic dmg, but in the end her melee hits with frozen mallet would be a better slow for you than rylai's. You're a tank get in their face, and piss them off so they hit you. If you see your partner about to get killed while people chase him don't be afraid to drop your ult on all of them to help him run. The cooldown isn't that long.

My single best moment as Leona was a fight in the top lane it was 2v5, but they did not come all at once. We took out three using CC, and dodging skill shots and the other two came in did the same with them. I left that fight with like 10% hp our sion has 70% left. Sadly support gets no recognition though. I literally gave him those 5 kills, and they only said gj Sion....

I almost never play ranked anymore. not since season 1 XD. But I do play PVP all day so if you want to add me feel free my summoner name is GoreDoll. (I think it is on the first page of this thread actually haha)

gore i see you on but u must be afk

Don't do elo hell? How do you not do elo hell? XD

By not playing ranked. I've actually watched some youtube videos that are pretty helpful on increasing your elo though.

Haha, I just feel really bad playing pvp though. xD Especially if I'm the only one dying!

Then stop dying.

Playing bot matches to teach my new friend how to play!

oh that explains thing manda

Normal PvP games actually have an elo as well, though it's hidden. If you play enough games, you'll be matched with people of your own skill level. I lost a ton of normal games in a row before I got to my own skill level.

Thanks Law, that does help. Frozen Mallet sounds like a good idea, and so does saving the Q stun if I don't need it immediately. I tend to go combo-happy and mash EWQ so I stun them right when I get to them, haha. I think another part of why I never seem to do well with her is deciding when to engage. Especially during the laning phase before I have a lot of tanky items, I go in to what I think looks like a good initiation, but then once the enemy carry gets un-stunned I get harassed low enough I have to back. I don't know if I'm not picking my fights well, or if I should not engage at all and just stand around looking intimidating, or if my carry simply isn't following up (I've only played her in solo normals, but I know I should try her with a friend).

Well your partner should always be ready to follow up, and you can try to make sure they are by letting them know you're about to engage. If your partner initiates with you the enemy carry should have such low health that they can't risk attacking you back because it's run, or die. A lot of the time as Leona you can position yourself behind the enemy minions, and kind of scare the enemy into not coming near so they don't get exp or gold.

its a long process relearning these new items

These new items, and changes to current didn't change the game to much. Just now people like Twitch can use a hurricane to put poison on 3 people for expunge, or the hydra being useful on pretty much every melee. Most of the new items didn't change the game though except like that mask that burns people for 5% of current hp or 10% if movement is impaired. Teemo is just as annoying as always.

yeah they cant really nerf teemo all that much....
oh and i got some lovely skins from the vault release... nottingham ezreal and badger teemo

I got uhh Crimson Akali, Prof Ryze, Safari Cait, Hextech Sion, Leopard Nidalee, Time Machine Zil, Kingpin Twitch, Pharaoh Amumu, Firefighter Tristana.

Oh and Highland Tryndamere...and i don't know maybe other things I forget.

yeah they didnt have much on the ones i use... mainly bc the champs i have a newer... except for ezreal and teemo... and i enjoy my ezreal

I am wanting a skin for all the champions since I own them all, but I don't plan on buying anything I hate. Some champs though like Sion I don't like any of his skins so 260 rp was better for me than the more expensive ugly ones. I picked up Panda and Superhero Teemo as well.

see that is how i feel i have to like the skin

I mean for Leona Riven and Teemo I have 2 skins for them because I like multiple of their skins, but for some people like Sion I hate all his skins so I got the cheapest one and said works for me.

i have redeemed riven skin, snowday ziggs, forsted and nottingham ez, badger teemo, varus skin (not new one), i forgot the rest

Lets see umm... Redeemed and Bunny Riven, Iron Solari and that Spiky armored Leona, Super hero and Panda Teemo, Prof Ryze, Silverfang and Crimson Akali, Hextech Sion, Noxian Hunter Anivia, Highlander Trynd, Pharaoh Mumu, Sabretusk Sejuani, Reaper Karthus, Reaper Hecarim, Glacial Olaf, Frosted Ez, Frost Queen Janna, Frostfire Annie, Glacial Malphite, Blight Crystal Varus, Mafia Graves, Amethyst and Sherwood Ashe, Midnight Ahri, Safari Cait, Koi Nami, Shockblade Zed, Volcanic Wukong, Wildfire Zyra, Neon Vi, Leopard Nidalee, Headmistress Fiora, Spooky Gangplank, Spectral Fiddle, Jaximus, Frostblade Irelia, Arctic Ops Kennen, Wicked Lulu, Slay Belle Kat, Mistletoe LeBlanc, Muay Thai Lee Sin, Lord Morde, Tribal Maoakai, Destroyer Nunu, Firefighter and Riot Girl Trist, Unchained Alistar, Shadow Evelynn, Dark Valk Diana, Jurassic Kog, Nightmare Cho, Noxian Poppy, Hextech Sion, Divine Soraka, Arcade Sona, Bloodstone Taric, Primal Udyr, Kingpin Twitch, Time Machine Zil, Undetaker Yorick, Battlecast Xerath, Northern Storm Voli, Dragonslayer Vayne, Sandscourge Skarner and Warlord Shen. God that took a while to remember, and check which I had. I'm close to having one for them all, and pretty much all of those were on sale when bot only a couple like Muay Thai Lee Sin did I pay full price for....

that is a lot... i like snow day ziggs bc if u to the satchel jump either he pulls out skis or a sled im not sure

Oh cool didn't know that. I knew he had a Snowman Bomb as the Satchel Charge, His minefield is a bunch of icicles, and then his bombs are snowballs. Didn't know he had a sled/skis though.

yep and he has a big smile on his face when he does it... and the ULT OMG... snow man head and a change to the damage area look

It is indeed mighty fun. I was disappointed with Mistletoe LeBlanc, but she looks nice atleast. I like Slay Belle Kat.

lol yeah they could have done better with lablanc

Mhmm, but the outfit is cute.

true... but more could have been done

Oh have you seen these 2 stick figure spotlights?
