<p>From: AfroSquirrel | #027
I think it's time to revisit my Lux build now that I'm getting a better concept of defense and defensepen.

Grab CDR masteries and runes, as well as blue buff when possible.
Boots+pots -> Double rings -> CDR boots and Void Staff -> Dcap -> whatever.</p>

<p>From: AfroSquirrel | #032
Well, that will let me swap to AD runes for last-hitting or something. What are some good choices for Reds on Lux aside from AD and Mpen?</p>

I'm not a fan, personally. Lux's cooldowns are long, but she's a burst mage more than a DPS mage. You shouldn't need AD on any of your runes, to put it bluntly. People like to run AD reds instead of Armor Pen reds on AD carries because it's similar damage output but easier last hitting. For a mage, you're trading damage for easier last hitting; what you should do instead is just get better at last hitting.

As for my build, I actually don't get much CDR at all. I run MPen reds, mana regen per level yellows, flat MR blues, and flat AP quints. Boots into 2 Doran's Rings and Sorc Shoes, followed by a Deathcap. Note that I'm still at 4% CDR at that point, unless I have blue. The thing about building Ionian Boots is that CDR is an incredibly easy stat to itemize for, while MPen is very rare. I would prefer to do more damage on my spells that hit than being able to throw out more spells; you'll run out of mana pretty fast if you constantly spam spells in lane.

To be fair though, my Lux build keeps changing. I used to get Morello's before it was changed for the CDR; I don't really want Deathfire because it requires getting close to my opponents. I tend to go Deathcap -> Void Staff -> Lich Bane, switching the last two if they don't build MR. By that time the game's usually over anyway.

so what happened to stannis and the tyrells?

seems like they haven't been around in a while

if stannis is literally less than a week from invading king's landing shouldn't they be focusing on him a bit? i feel like you could have missed tyrion's line and would be all confused when all of a sudden stannis is outside the gates after being MIA for four eps


It was like that in the book, as well. You have a sudden silence around Stannis, so all you know are updates in each of Tyrion's chapters as he prepares the defenses. I quite like that technique, as it intensifies the wait for the oncoming assault.

its called math.

You can play a game and MAYBE lose it.

Or you could lose ELO without doing a single thing.

You realize that even if you dodge a loss that you feel is a "sure thing" you're still going to have to WIN the very next game just to break even on the game you decided NOT to play.

It never makes sense.


While this is true, it all depends on how much you care about your Elo. If you KNOW someone's going to troll, you may very well want to trade 12 Elo to avoid 20+ minutes of frustration.

Win ~ Kog'Maw ~ 3-1-3 (6.00)
Win ~ Tristana ~ 5-1-8 (13.00)
Loss ~ Sona ~ 1-4-2 (0.75)
Win ~ Kog'Maw ~ 4-1-6 (10.00)

In my last game, two people had played on the same team the previous game and were super mad at each other. I was sure it would end in disaster... but my roommate (jungler) ganked for them until they were happy and so we won. Yay!

I didn't get to play mid today, unfortunately. :(

I have literally never won a lane against Soraka. I'm fairly convinced the best you can ever hope to do is break even. I hate her so much. More than Blitz.

EDIT: This statement might be an exaggeration due to selective memory.


Soraka's heal is very weak until she hits level 3. Go aggressive on her early and you can outdamage her heals easily.

Norn are pretty much the race I care about the least that I'll probably never play outside of this so I don't care as much about the story stuff, and I really wanna try to get into the teens level wise to see what the story and questing is like then.


That's what I'm doing! Norn are basically just tall humans with Viking flair. Not really that original.

Fun times in the Norn starting area. The Sons of Svanir took over an outpost, Crossroads Haven, and we had about 10-12 people try to retake it.

...We wiped like 10 times. And then people started to leave, so we ended up with only 3 people at the end. It remains untaken as of now.
