Also, I haven't played maokai, but i assume clarity would be better because his ult drains his mana intensively.

IMO jungling with trundle is easiest in whole game. Seriously I started recently playing trundle (cause I suck with AD and wanted to have some other champ than Sion) and I love it. Maybe easier is nunu because of his minion om nom nom, but Trundle well made jungler - dpser have like 150 armor and m res + big dmg + about 3k hp! O.O

Edit. Also Maokai IMO should be builded by team - you have tank? Grab AP. You don't? Go tank! Well IMO he's better builded into hybrid ap/hp so he can tank few hits and do some dmg.
Build Saphire -> protector now sorccs -> finish roa -> rylai -> abysal -> deathcap -> roa/hourglass/any other situational item.

This game is good but kinda unbalanced having 1 nuker and the rest beefy champs(high dps,high hp) playing solid champs is always a win mid champs like Vlad,Malz,akali,brand,ashe,cait is almost a must. . . having a carry farming in mid is profit then the rest of the team should atleast have beefy champs like:jax,rumble,tryndamere,gankplank,jarvan,garen,shen etcetc ooh and for the people who havent played to lvl 30 u should learn to jungle(jungle is a must at higher lvl 30 games)

More newbie tips:
Basic meta-game as of right now on the NA servers:
Ranged Carry (AD)
Mage (AP)
Tank/Jungler
Melee Carry/Jungler (AD)
Support/Mage (AP)

There's usually almost always a jungler, and the tank solos at top. The ranged carry is at mid and the mage and support/mage go bot. There are some heroes that are able to be a different role.

There's also Support Tank. Maokai, Singed.

So....thinking about picking up LoL for a bit.

One problem though is wtf @ no denying creeps. Seriously, the game must be dominated by carry's because their early game weakness is pretty much nullified by no denying farm. Not keen for a game like that o.O

Fucking a man... I won't give up but Mao is so odd. I tried saph -> catalyst -> ROA but I failed miserably. It took me 30 mins. to get ROA, yeah I know, I'm bad. I think I played too aggressive as well since I didn't have any mana regen items and I was always OOM. I don't know, I'm kind of frustrated.

Any tips?

Carries generally don't dominate early game, I don't know the money acquisition rate other MOBAs have, but generally speaking, unless your team is feeding that carry hero kills, they won't become super crazy till the 20-30 mark.



Carry Nasus. Not even joking, I took mid. My team was me, shaco, eve, and Jarvan. I murdered Twitch three times before he rage quit. The other team didn't surrender, so I decided to see what would happen if I played around, the result was that.

310 AD, 100 or so AP, 300 extra damage on my Q, 3k hp, 180 defense, and I think a 1.4 attack speed. With my ult, elixers, and baron, I hit 510 AD. :o Would this make Nasus a hard carry?

Ignore my crappy Akali/Nunu/Sion scores kk? XD

looking for more people to play with outside my small circle since lol is down for maintenance till 4am pst, pm here or add me in game later :3

Wat.

Get Clarity if you really have that much problem with mana conservation.

Yeah. That was my 2nd time playing Mao(literally) and I switched from heal/exhaust -> flash/exhaust. Next game is going to be clarity/exhaust.

Yeah, I know, I stink. 40 mins. into the game is when I finally maxed out RoA.

try clarity/ghost next time too.

All tanks are automatically "support". They usually have some sort of CC, whether it be a heal, stun, silence, or etc. Which brings me to my

In-depth Newbie Tips:
Any champion could in theory play any role with the right items. However, there are champions who'll definitely be able to do that role better.

Tanks:
Alistar
Amumu
Blitzcrank
Cho'Gath
Galio
Malphite
Maokai
Rammus
Shen
Singed

These are the more traditional and streamlined tanks. They all have some sort of defensive passive and/or skill, a CC, and an initiator. They usually do AP damage. These are the champions that were meant to tank (They label Malphite as a "Fighter", but they used to label him as a "Mage" too).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Melee Carries:
Lee Sin
Master Yi
Nocturne
Olaf
Shaco
Trundle
Tryndamere
Udyr
Xin Zhao

These are the..."traditional and streamlined" melee carries, and I use that term loosely here. They're characterized by lots of damage with some sort of way to survive. Survivability =! Tank. These people are not meant to initiate, and usually have subpar CC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranged Carries:
Ashe
Caitlyn
Corki
Ezreal
Kog'Maw
Miss Fortune
Sivir
Tristana
Twisted Fate
Twitch
Vayne

These are ranged carries and they do AD from afar. They usually have some sort of escape mechanism.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mages:
Anivia
Annie
Brand
Cassiopeia
Fiddlesticks
Heimerdinger
Karthus
Kennen
LeBlanc
Lux
Malzahar
Orianna
Rumble
Ryze
Swain
Veigar
Vladimir

They're mages. Some of them can be beefy, some of them can have an escape mechanism. They usually have a CC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supports:
Janna
Karma
Kayle
Morgana
Nidalee
Sona
Soraka
Zilean

Supports. They have a heal, CC, or buffs. They're usually AP. Typical supports.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hybrids/Weirdos:
Akali
Irelia
Jax
Evelynn
Poppy
Dr. Mundo
Gangplank
Garen
Gragas
Jarvan IV
Kassadin
Katarina
Mordekaiser
Nasus
Nunu
Pantheon
Renekton
Sion
Teemo
Urgot
Warwick

These guys can have weird playstyles, or be hybrids. For example, Katarina is a much more viable AP damage dealer, but is melee and is supposed to close in on enemies. She is weird. Hybrids are able to be a Mage, Tank, and/or AD dealer.

I keep getting these games where someone on my team leaves and the rest of my team can't really do much. :| I thought Poppy should be OP.

So yeah... I tried out clarity/exhaust and it was pretty good. Imma try clarity/flash next time since I do need an escape mechanism. Last game exhaust was so, so for me.

Last 3 games I played with Maokai.
0/4/7
1/8/6
5/10/15

I'm bad.

Poppy is pretty good if played right.

Kayle is decent support and has the potential to become a monstrous carry if a game goes long enough. Gangplank would qualify as a melee carry would he not?

Holy shit... I just played as Irelia. I went 6/9/26. I'm not sure if I did good though. I did get a lot of assists though! For the people that has play her before, how is she late game? I seem to have a lot of trouble against champs like, Vayne and Teemo since they attack and drain my health down so much.

Am I playing her wrong since I have so many assists or is that ok?

Sorry for reporting in so much. I'm just trying to get a bit better at this game even though I should be playing ranked matches. >.>

Saw this, thought of you.

So, did you end up playing a game or not?

I haven't see not failing AD ezre. I play him AP and in most cases have good stats.
@Vietxmikey Best Irelia is suppose to not have assists ;D Only kills. From what best ppl playing her says you should ks as much as you can and pwn everybody later on.

Also IMO Kylie made dps is much more awesome than support. Ulti - nothing from ap. Slow - makes you dmg enemies harder. Heal - hastes you so you can catch up better. ROWRZ FIRE SWRD! - Makes you ranged (With awesome hybrid dmg).
Mundo and blitz are IMO pure tanks, cause building them in other way in most cases results in rage and 0/20.
Btw. What do you people think about Sivir? Cause when im not playing ranked or playing normals with friends I play her for fun, and I even lately got some good scores O.o (I always thought she's one of worst chars here)

Thought so. Haha. Come to think of it, that game I was being ksed. >.>
