Zkirsche Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Ganking a warded lane can sometimes be useful simply by scaring the enemies off. If bot lane is being pushed really hard by caitlyn or someone similar I will sometimes come in just to remind them of my presence, which can sometimes ease the lane a little because they might realise "oh I'm pushing too much, better let them push".

BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Actually when it comes to earlygame top is the easiest lane to gank and perhaps the most beneficial as most heroes that are sent top can generally snowball pretty hard with ANY advantage; it's an intricate lane. Middle lane is very short and bottom lane will have supports warding all your possible entrances(tribush and river AND the bottom brushes). Most of the time top lane won't have wards in the beginning and it's a long lane. It's even easier if you're on team purple as you can immediately go there after taking red.

HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 thinking of buying a new champion. either Riven or Varus, this is mostly for drafts incase some of my normal people get banned for Offtank/AD carry i've seen varus play, i have a pretty good idea of how to play him. Riven, i've gotten to use her in the freeweek several months ago and found her pretty fun, kinda like a faster garen that scales better late game.

Kiriane Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 If I start red, I try to gank mid before going directly over to the relevant side lane. Top snowballs, sure, but half those champs can snowball on their own anyway, and the mid snowball can be devastating if one bursty mage gets a level or two on his opponent. (Case in point, I threw a level 2 gank to Veigar, and he killed Ryze several more times in lane after that. Especially after I gave blue. Loved that Veigar. =) And past a certain point, river wards do jack all to stop ganks. If you're fighting under their tower, odds are you'll get hit by the gank right at the mid point of the lane - that's plenty enough to get killed.

peener weener Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 have enough for two 6300 champions what do i buy there's also the option of runepages so what do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriane Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Get a third rune page so you can cover AD, AP and support properly. GP10 runes make a world of difference for a support. Then fill it out with the appropriate runes; then pick your favourite champion, or if you don't need one yet, hang on to the IP until you do. Or buy more runes. Runes are good.

HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 so i picked up Nunu and he's really fun. as a fan of the nunu bot series, i really do want that skin, but its so costly...i don't know if i should go for it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinori Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Only do it if you enjoy nunu enough that you are going to play him enough to make the skin worth it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriane Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Or if you have a lot of money to spend and don't mind spending it. Considering I have the FE4 figurines (all but Ayra; I'm not THAT free with money) and all they do is sit on my shelf all day... ...and not a single LoL skin, even though Gentleman Cho is the most awesome skin ever... ...yeah. Is it going to make you happy in the slightly longer term if you buy that skin? I spent my little bit of RP on rune pages and 6300IP champions on sale, because I figured I'd derive more enjoyment in the longer run than if I got skins. So far, so good.

Life Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ryze just got changed. Majorly. Can I now build him AP and still retain damage? If so, I have a build idea for him. Based on Will of the Ages, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Will of the Ages, that is. I think so, but you still want a mix of AP and Mana. Archangel's , iirc, is really good on him now. Better than before, anyway.

Basically, I feel that a slightly tanky build on Ryze works like this (of course, you can change it around). Tear + Sorc Boots Frozen Heart (20% DPS cooldown) AA Hextech Revolver NLR WotA RD Rest is option. It's a pretty costly build but Ryze should be building CS pretty easily.

Grace Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Probably add in BV, as well. His build didn't change a lot, overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Probably add in BV, as well. His build didn't change a lot, overall. After two games with this build, I find that unless you're playing against a lot of CC or AP casters, BV is pointless because the power jump on Spell Flux and especially Rune Prison is retarded, considering that Overload's damage output doesn't really go down with a 0.4 AP ratio. Might as well pump a RoA on there for extra overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK-201 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 WoTA was always part of Ryze's build for a lot of people. Don't forget Void Staff though, 40% mag pen is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiriane Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I guess Ryze favours RoA over BV now, and upgrades tear to AA sooner. Most everything else stays the same, in theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvercrow Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Just beat the shit out of him in lane, he is one of the worst possible top laners He has no escape ability and no tankiness, he's extremely vulnerable in lane. All told he is pretty much the bruiser version of Kat, the counterplay is just slightly different. (kite him instead of just CCing her) Edited May 26, 2012 by Silvercrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 sure that might work in SR, but what about dominion? he snowballs out of control quickly and dominates anycapture points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercrow Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Kite him. His maximum range on any damaging ability is 475 on his ult, 270 on normal skills. Pick someone with powerful kiting ability (Cassiopeia comes to mind) or build frozen mallet on somebody with range. His pull has a 24 second cooldown at level 1 and 12 seconds at max level.
