I always ult right after I bandage toss into their group, but spamming Tantrum while getting focused and having Depsair and a Sunfire Cape does ridiculous AoE damage. Been playing a lot of Sion lately...haven't lost a game in the past 24 hours. Did a game a little while ago on Soraka with Chatner (idk if anyone remembers him, oldschool Brell Enchanter) playing Volibear and we just compeltely dominated the game. Turret diving at level 1 for kills. GG.

I tried to play normal LoL again the other day. ZzZZzZ - it seems so strung out and boring now, I don't see how people have the patience for it.

I'm almost level 30, not sure I want to keep playing the same account after that. From what I've been hearing, the game changes into this horribly competitive and difficult jerk off fest at level 30...

Level 30 doesn't change anything, really. I have found fewer trolls and morons in ranked than in normals, to be honest. You get more competitiveness, naturally but I don't mind that.

I could have sworn it was you that was telling me level 30 sucks and that you'd made a smurf account??

I had issues with it at first, mostly because I wasn't ranked. Your first 10 games it's kinda frustrating, because you don't have an ELO rating. You get a lot of bad players, who hit 30 and immediately jump into ranked without being able to play more than 1 or 2 characters, so your team composition sucks or you have to cater to them. I just waited it out until I had enough rune/mastery setups to play multiple characters for each role (support, AD carry, AP carry and grudgingly jungle if I have to) and expected others would do the same. Once you get through those first few games, with a little luck, you end up being 1kish ELO and then you get matched up more often with capable players.

The one downside is people do expect more out of you. I feel like that just comes with the territory of playing at a 'ranked' level, though. It helps a lot having someone to duo queue with, too.

Cool, "buchannon" here - I'll try and remember to add ya next time I'm on. Never played Volibear, usually more for the casters here (except Amumu).

Volibear is OP!...until you get a Madred's Bloodrazor and just tear into him. My summoner name is Trydan (yea, like the Paladin from Planes of Power)...and if you use Skype when you play my name on there is hauntingthechapel

Oh, so that's you. Lulz, I figured you were probably one of the cats I played with previously that added me. :p

Voli is a lot of fun, especially playing with offensive masteries. His W can fucking wreck people, and in later levels I can almost 1 shot Miss Fortune/TF/Ashe/Caitlyn. I usually wind up with a negative score (due to getting 2 and 3v1'd cause he's so beast), but Voli is literally a game changer if he's left alone to push towers while the team fights in mid. I've actually been exclusively playing him

Bloodrazor does hurt Voli, but I run Voli with the wits end and the lantern, so I get the best of both worlds + the free Ward for Baron. I havent' tried running him with the full on bloodrazor yet, but it's on my "to do" list. I'll try to remember to add you next time I'm on, Tur. Add me if you're impatient. :p

Duo queue rating got tanked because of a consecutive string of idiots on my teams.

Full bloodrazor isn't good for Voli without buying something to supplement the lifesteal, such as a bloodthirster. :(

I meant bloodrazor for using against him. I haven't played Volibear yet, but everyone I've seen do exceptionally well on him rushes Warmog's then stacks more HP items like Sunfire Cape and Frozen Mallet.

Right, I know.. I wanted to try running him with one though, and it was sadly lacking. :(

Seems like the only time I can ever actually get Madred's Bloodrazor is when I'm playing Warwick.

Oh...girlfriend started playing WoW...doubt I'll ever be able to play League again :(

I've been using Soraka a bit lately and I have to admit, it's pretty fun. Nothing more enjoyable than rushing into a team fight that is about to be loss, only to drop Soraka's ult and then heal and miraculously your whole team is full health again.

I played versus a jungle Soraka last night that was doing 1900 dmg with her Starfall. I have no idea how this was even possible but she was raping harder than their carry.
