Still a good story.

It really was. The fact that sales don't include IP just made it better

Glad you got Xin though

Found this on reddit a few days ago concerning rune pages.

Scroll down a couple times to see the rune page combinations.

Think I'll play adc for a bit...oh look my support goes darius...tower dives then proceeds to yell at me for initiating at the wrong times...tells everyone to report me and insists I be the one who wards since he is carrying me....

Some people need to catch Aids and die....seriously.

Started playing Teemo Top again with more of an AD build. Too much fun

Gambit gets beat in the first round of the EU playoffs today by Roccat. EU is a shitstorm of suck right now.

I don't keep up with the EU League scene. Were they the top contender?

Wanna give a quick run down of the Ad & Ap build?
Maybe include common matchups and how to play them.
Any particular combos to maximize damage or effectiveness? Like Q, AA, W, AA, Q, E?

I'll have to wait until I get home until I can give some accurate builds (especially considering the recent changes to Lich Bane and the fact that I am just now tinkering with Ad teemo)

AP Teemo is what I was originally playing a lot of. His Q scales off of it, and can do some pretty significant damage with AP items. The poison from his E also scales with it as do his shrooms.

With AP Teemo, I generally do the typical Doran's ring start with a potion and trinket. Sorc Shoes (for the magic pen), haunting guise, then Nashor's (for the AP, Attack speed and CDR). I've had some people tell me Lich Bane or Morello's is the way to go instead of the Nashor's, but I haven't experimented with it enough to decide. After that, it kind of depends on the circumstances.

With AD/Hybrid Teemo, Doran's Blade, potion, trinket. I go Blade of the Ruined King next for sure with Berserker Greaves. After that, I'm still learning what to use. The build I found on TSM's website says to go for the 70% attack speed item (can't remember the name, but it's orange/red with several arrows on it).

Thus far over the last several games I've been very successful with building: BotRK, Attack speed boots, Wit's End? (the item that gives 42% attack speed, applies additional magic damage on hit per auto attack and steals MR per auto attack), and a Blood Thirster (combined with BotRK, gives insane life steal.

As for mechanics, I simply farm my lane and use my AA to "poke" them down. Max your E first, and you essentially have miniature ignites attached to every auto attack. Use the AA Q AA combo when they approach you. If you get dove by a champ reliant on AA's, use your Q to blind them and just kite them (use your W for increased passive and active movement speed).

Laning against champs with jumps or abilities that cover ground on you quickly, I generally will drop a shroom at the spot I am farming at behind the minion wave. They jump in on me, get popped by the shroom, now I hit my AA Q AA combo, followed by more AA's and an ignite if I have to. They will lose HP incredibly quickly.

Play safe pre 6 as you have no real escapes outside of flash. Shroom the river like a mad man and the tri bush once you get your lane pushed. Don't be afraid to drop 70-105 gold on your trips back for mana pots. Your shrooms use a lot of mana and your Q does as well. I can't tell you how many extra kills I've gotten while sitting in base buying, because someone who just escaped a fight with 100 hp left hits a random shroom I laid in chokepoint/bush. (Haunting Guise/Liandry's & Morello's will make the after effects even more devastating from the shrooms and your E).

I don't even know if I'd classify my self as a half decent teemo player, although I have had some success recently going top with him. I'll have to look at some other things once I get home and can give some advice then. Try him out. He's fun and his builds are extremely versatile. People hate him for a reason.

frick Teemo and everything he stands for

Precisely the reason I play him.

I'm in the opponent's head before we even get out of champ select.

Teemo infuriates people and infuriated people don't play as logically as they normally would. That and most people make extra effort to focus Teemo because of his annoyance. This gives my team (and me) an advantage.

ETA: Also, to Mahoot, with an AD teemo type build, you can catch some players off guard. You'd be surprised how many people see Teemo and just think "build MR" and don't bother to check your build until it's too late.

Gambit is one loss away from being relegated...wtf.

Gambit just took a big ole shite on CW
