Of the day? I am trying on my first in a week.

Hi, I've won 6 in a row. Nice to meet you. Perhaps we can ruin that with some custom games tonight?

Hey there. I'm looking for a solid partner for Ranked. I have every champ except Quinn & Fizz. I am a solid support, but can jungle or ADC fairly well. Top is not my best and mid needs more practice; but I can fill as needed.

I am down in bronze and played 'support' all the way down to Bronze V and need at least one player on the team that is in Skype and plays to win. I started playing ADC just to try to climb out of bronze, but I think what I really need is a consistent person to play with.

My play times are pretty much 11PM EST on out until I crash, but with two kids I really can not play any earlier.

The summoner name is 'Beardbane'

I have a few people that I do play with and that is always fun, but solo is just frustrating me.

Will you be playing any on the weekend or do you usually just stick to weeknights?

Kind of like others, it seems that 2/3 times there is a DC. Even if they return, which is rare, I am encountering issues with people who will not surrender because it might affect their rank. So rather than getting into a new game after the 20 minute mark, it is more like 45 minutes. I might just go back to Dominion or TT ranked, the ages it can take to lose even a completely pointless summoner's rift can be nuts.

I would be too if I wasn't petulant and stupid, staying up way past when I should be going to bed just to get the damn win.

@PSOPlayer
I play both weekdays and weekends, but no sooner than 11PM EST. Still I could start a game anytime from 11PM EST to 3AM EST for anyone who is a night owl or west-coaster or alternate time-zone.

Am I correct in assuming there is a GWJ chat started in game already? I'll have to auto-join the channel.

My Skype and summoner names are both Beardbane.

if you want a free win just play a bot game, you can win those even 4v5 and typically at most 30 mins. 20 if you get a good team.

@Cayne - I echo that. For my free 150 IP (FWOTD) I play a quick Co-Op vs. AI Twisted Treeline map. If pushed these can finish in less than 20 minutes, but even with one AFK you can win at the 30 minute mark almost guaranteed.

twisted tree line bot game with easy bots as an ADC like Caitlyn. I've literally 3v1'd them with 2 afk's and won, and with even just two not really competent teammates I have ended games in 13 minutes.

I wish I was good enough at this game to justify that.

How much real moneyz have you dropped in?

now do it with skins :O

I only really bought rp when they did the bonuses and %90 of those champs were on sale, in a pack, a gift, or ip so... More than I'd like probably.

No on skins. Frate shut up now. No.

But all of your champions will be lonely without their differently dressed twins.

Well, I broke down and spent some money on Riot points. I got the digital collector's pack and the Champion's pack so now I have a ton of new champions to play with and learn about. We'll see how this goes! I'm looking forward to getting online, trying them all out, and being berated because I'm not playing them right or I suck with them. But, whatever, I'm level 10 and now is the time to try things out and suck, right?

It's always the time to try things out and suck!

has anyone else been experiencing crashes to desktop with no errors right after games? Happens to me at least once every 5-10 games or so now.

It was doing that to me after nearly every game. It has quit ever since I closed lolreplay. It's never caused problems for me in the past, but it was still the first thing I tried.

Got to level 12 tonight with Cathadan's help. He definitely gave me some good insight into playing Twisted Fate. Thanks!

I don't think this has been mentioned on here before, but Solomid recently launched a site called www.probuilds.net. It lets you see recent games played by pro players and what champions they used. Even better, it gives you their full build (items, runes, masteries) and what order they built their items and ranked their skills in. I really like it because it gives very recent data of what kind of builds pros are using not to mention you get data of a lot of different players. It's not just one guide written by one player 3 months ago that might be outdated by now.

Bookmarked! That looks really useful.

WOO, got a win. 80% because their Soraka quit after 5 minutes.

PWAlessi, sent you a friend request (from Summoner name Llywelyn)...

Never played Ranked, but want to hook up with some GWJers to learn some stuff and possibly give it a go... I still suck at level 30 and closing in on 400 wins...

Also, I'd be in for a GWJ custom night... point me at it pretty much any night (EST, my youngest is 15 so any time after dinner)...

I miss playing with friends as all the ones I used to play with don't any more.

Question: Along the lines of AD vs Armor Penetration... is it worth building Magic Penetration Runes? or just go with more AP?

Also, is it worth building Magic Resist Runes (Glyphs, other than on tanks or bruisers)?

Thanks in advance...

You are going to want MR runes on your supports like Sona, Soraka too. I would encourage experimenting with MR runes on an AP mid as well. Not all AP champs can really utilize Abyssal Scepter (and it is expensive early on; really only makes sense on the short range APs like Vlad), the same with Athene's/Chalice of Harmony.

I am debating doing away with MR runes in favor of AP runes on Mundo. Getting more power to the hula hoop will make ganks quicker and clears faster. I am almost always buying Merc Treads and a Witts End or SPirit Visage on Mundo now as well. Masocism is becoming a surprise spell for me on Mundo. Without a single AD item, and a little CDR from 1 or 2 items, you roll around with huge boosts to AD-a near constant 250-300 AD on a tank is not chump damage, expecially with that speed you get from Witts End.

So now my typical build goes Lantern, Merc Treads or swiftness boots, Warmogs, Witts End or Spirit Visage, Sunfire Cape or Rylia's, DFG. On Occasion against a team that has a weak AP, or omits the AP, I have been picking up a Zephyr.

But once I do away with those runes on Mundo, I am wondering if I am going to kick myself in the ass the next time Karthus or Brand gets a little fed.

Flat MR is pretty much standard on all mid lane matchups vs an AP carry.
I prefer MR/lvl on supports.

Flat MR for mid lane. Flat MR for top lane if you know you're going up against an AP top laner. MR/lvl for support/jungle/ADC.

You should at least grab Magic Pen reds (or hybrid pen if you can afford them).

Pretty sure scaling MR blues and flat armor yellows are some of the most used runes in the game across all roles and characters.

Played a game where 3 of the 5 on our team wanted to surrender. I was not one of the quitters. We won. Lesson learned, never surrender.

How do you guys feel about surrendering?

I would much rather quit if I am on a team of jerks. Since that is penalized, I need to mute everyone and see about a surrender or a quick death. Same in cases where the other team just wants to troll and prolong the game by pushing lanes but never finishing the deed.
