Well , you'll see later that Full Tank like Shen/Malph/Rammus/Galio... aren't really essential in a team.
Cuz of the Offtank like Irelia/Jarvan/Lee sin/Morde.... they are strong even with tanky stuff. Trinity + WarAtma work like a wonder for some AD offtank. There's a big difference to a Full Tank who is fed and an offtank who is too. The full tank will just have tanky stuff faster but still no important damage. Just don't focus him. The offtank will become more deadly and a threat for the opponent. Even if you don't focus him , he'll rush your carry & kill him then next. Currently the more viable compo is Top = Offtank , Mid = Carry AP , Bot = Carry AD + Support Jungle = Offtank AD/AP , "Fiddle" and Amumu who is the best tank in jungle. As they'll nerf support heals , dunno if the support + AD will still greatly works. |

Well , wait at least 2 weeks to see if he's viable , cuz lately Riot tend to make underpow champs or at least not good enough to compete the viable champ. |

You think people don't like to tank? Once you get to 30 where the advantages of jungling really becomse apparent, it's actually much worse. Heaven forbid no one picked tank and jungler lols.
Why do you think I got so proficient at jungle and tanking? I'm more of an AP carry myself (back from Tides of Blood days), but like 75% of my games I have to go either or both jungle and tank that I just got good at it. XD

@Skane: If you are on SEA server, then add me, DSveno
Btw, if you are playing normal game, don't bother with tanker. It's an unappreciated job. You jumped in, no one follow, and it's your fault. You don't jump in, your carry die, and it's your fault. You jumped in, and your team lost the combat, it's also your fault. I tend to avoid tanker in Normal games unless I'm playing with friends or someone I know (thank god that most of my games aren't solo). Tips: use lv 1 rune. They are cheap, and half as effective the lv 3 one, while is at about 1/5 to 1/10 the price. Btw, Garen isn't a tank, so don't pick him while looking for a tank . I'm saving IP to buy Garen, though. Tried him out while he was free and I kinda like him, although he's one of those "weaksauce" melee champion without gap closing skill and can't really tank.

Guess I'll be back to playing ranged-AD carries again until I find something else I like . And cancel my plan to buy Sona until the next patch .

So sad that the best parody song didn't win in Songs of the Summoned 2 because of legal issues.
Some other decent and/or amusing songs that didn't get a mention... Spoiler for just for space reasons:

One thing I see is that the map favors tanky/disruptive champions, but you get %-based penetration for every landmark you capture, although I'm not sure how it all adds up. That was quite the game, red team came very close to winning...guess 20 mins is truly a lot of time for this type of game. |

Yeah that was an awesome match, HotshotGG's definitely MVP imo. How the hell did he and RainMan farm like, 400 creeps each!? Also surprised at Ezreal's display of skill during the guys vs gals late dominion match. Ofc I suppose that was to be expected by the man who designed both the champion and the map...

Gold now being 1520, it was much easier to achieve my goal. Here I was being lazy when I stopped at 1500 because I can't play more than 2-3 match a day without forcing myself as I get bored easily. But with the new thresholds, I just needed 2 wins and I got them lols. Thanks Riot for Jarvan skin. ^_^
Now can't wait till dominion, for a change of pace as jungler/tank mains due to force of necessity, because jungling is nonexistent while I don't think pure tanks are going to be that useful in that map.

Lux is a safe champ, always sitting behind everyone else, has a slow, a root and a shield, pretty balanced support. Item-wise, I always build RoA, sorc boots, Arc staff, deathcap, morello's evil tome, void staff, getting some pretty high stats in HP,MP,AP,Mpen and CDR. Imo that's all you're ever gonna need as a caster
Currently playing some ranked games, had a very unexpected win yesterday, mainly due to our team comp (Alistar,Galio,Lux,Morganna, Xin Zhao) versus an actually balanced team (Amumu, Kata, Kennen, Garen, Irelia). Although Alistar failed as a tank, and Kata got fed (3/0/0 or so at first TF), I picked up a lot of kills as Galio and managed to carry the team a few towers in. OTOH, lost a game thanks to a terrible kog feeder (0/7/1 and FB) who wouldn't mid against Ezreal...sometimes I really wonder if 4v5 is better than 5v5 w/feeder on the team. EDIT: Speaking of builds, how is this for Shen? Spoiler for build:
I've also tried AP tank, but didn't work out so well... Last edited by Kafriel; 2011-08-27 at 06:31. |

Take Aegis , Randuin, Thornmail or banshee instead of Warmog/Atma/Frozen.
Shen isn't a good farmer , Warmog is useless & it costs a lot and + you are the tank. Atma/Frozen useless items , he doesn't need it. You hit too slow + you are the tank. Better help your team to give them a good buff -Aegis- & disable the opponent -Randuin- + taunt the carry AD -Thornmail- or AP -FoN/Banshee- AP Tank = AP , forgive the tank part , you die like a carry. Stun Focus Instant Kill. |
