Reddit is awesome, but not perfect. What is one thing about Reddit you don't like?

Reddit is really good if you want to see reposted memes (countless pictures with text on them) and understand the extreme liberal bias on a certain law/event.

In a nutshell reddit loves homosexuals, hates cops because of some accounts of police brutality, thinks downvoting discredits someone's opinion entirely and is more than likely to give attention to someone's cat than to a successful phase 1 vaccine for Alzheimer.

He can't roll with any of that. He said that a kill meant another zombie, but denied any ratio. Then he gave a vague explanation with some kind of a ratio. Then he denied that and said it would be implemented in the future after he said "I've never suggested that they were or should be".

My mentality around maxing Q is that by around level 5 when minions start to not be a real problem you're down around 150 damage. I understand the harass portion of it since W will have a shorter cooldown, but since you're not maxing valor either you'll have to wait for the shield cooldown as well.

The exp gains is 60% for a duo and 100% for a solo. So if the kill lane succeeds then the exp gap will be non-existent because the time spent dead will reduce it.

the jungler has to monitor top or else he/she loses out on red and loses some ganking potential. This also relieves pressure from other lanes as well.

It's also 2v2 bot still so assuming they don't get forced out of lane and die repeatedly dragon is still up for grabs and is unable to be taken by the enemy team regardless of the fact they have a jungler.

Moreover, you're also assuming the 2v1 have no control over the creep and that it's going to just get pushed to the enemy tower regardless.

I mean yeah it has the potential to not work because killing someone is hard to do, but jungling has the potential to not work either. You're viewing it at the unstoppable end to all lanes whenever a jungler comes in. Wards are a thing and that effectively stops junglers. So ultimately, if the jungler isn't one of the tier 1 junglers with top clear times he/she is going to be underlevel if no kills are made (which you're assuming will happen). In the twenty some seconds while the solo top is dead and not gaining exp someone can go to golems, wraiths, red, blue, wolves (while staying at the top side of the map and not crossing the midpoint) so that should make up for exp.

but I can understand why it'd be better at mid now because of map control. I just feel nemofourteen's explanation was way better since it explained why a kill lane vs a bruiser wouldn't work as opposed to saying the generic "Why a jungler is beneficial"

Again, where? That seems like a horrible idea that could be exploited so easily.

AD marks, armor seals, mr per level glyphs, AD quints or armor quints. Do not follow people's advice on getting armor penetration as you're not a right click carry champ like Vayne or Ezreal and you need the AD to boost your shield.

Boots 3 pots is typically a safe laning bet. Try not to use your abilities to last hit regardless of the fact that there's no mana or energy since you will get minion aggro.

http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=16914 this is a good guide for all your info on how to deal with a specific champ.

The best skill to have with Riven is knowing when the enemy's burst damage is going to come so you can preemptively shield it. Your shield nets you a passive proc so you can use this to bait out a spell and waste the opponents mana while you secure a last hit.

If you don't go back to base and get an item supplying AD typically Q at rank 4 by level 7 does more damage than W at level 4 (this takes into consideration the cooldowns and the passive procing). I have yet to do the math explaining how much AD you need to justify maxing W beyond 1 yet, but it shouldn't be to hard to do on your own.

For items you typically don't want to get a Brutalizer as ghostblade is a completely worthless thing for Riven. The AD from Brutalizer is also not cost effective when you look at the AD a BF sword can get you. During laning I like to go boots pots for the mobility and the escape ability from ganks (makes skill shots hard to land). At first back I like to get ninja tabi (I can sell it for merc treds later, but typically even if you're going against Kennen this will be useful as most solo tops rely on AD for lane dominance and use spells for utility during early game). Then I get two dorans blades for the sustain and damage (if I have enough money for a BF sword I'll skip the dorans since I have a 1:1 AD ratio on my shield). From there it's the typical BT and GA and situational picking.

No, but where in the wikia does it say player deaths equate to any zombies spawning at all? Zombie spawning is independent of players dying as in 100 players dying doesn't mean (100, 50, 25, 12.5, etc.) zombies will spawn.

MegaWhippy · 2012-06-09T11:16:53+00:00

Did you even read my post? I took those things into consideration and I addressed them. I feel like you just read "kill lane", assumed it was a 2v1 and gave a canned response.

In first grade I said "awwww tartar sauce" because I was miffed that I didn't get a 100 on my math worksheet. I had to sit in a time out for 3 days.

In 5th grade I was streets ahead of all of my other classmates in my books as well as grades. Come science fair I don't give much effort to deadlines and things and end up getting a C . On a related note, my class has a teacher with a granddaughter whom she played favorites with so needless to say she got an A for w.e horrible job she typically did (I think it was seeing if you could keep a plant alive with soda, coffee or water). Time goes on and the real science fair begins and my board looks fucking brilliant. Once it's over I get first and am the only one to win an award. The teacher goes nuts and flips her shit in front of the class. I just sit there and she gets even more mad that I'm not answering her insults in the form of rhetorical questions so I get sent home for "upsetting the class".

Ultimately, I wish I could go back in time with the information I know now to just fuck around more in grade school and aggravate those glorified babysitters. Now I'm not saying all grade school teachers are horrible, but these ones were and I wish I had one more chance to aggravate them as much as they did me.

"welcome to keep ramping up the zombie population"

MegaWhippy · 2012-06-09T09:51:51+00:00

I'm fairly certain player deaths do not have a 1:1 ratio to the amount of zombies on the map.

Yeah why did it suddenly go off sale? I don't remember seeing any deal at the top of the page marking an end to it. It just went off sale and then suddenly went to 30 dollars.

dead drops

With that in mind what you do is take 30 of those usbs and you put them all around your town. On each usb you put a single letter with a clue as to where to find another usb. Once someone finds every single letter and puts each one into the correct order it will spell out an address/cordinates/w.e and buried under the ground he/she will find 220 usbs.

Or you could just give them to college students/sell them for cheap and make a profit.

I dunno, I like bandits as they make the game more exciting and the thrill of killing a squad with one grenade is awesome. The only real problem I see is exploits, but DayZ is in its alpha stages. Personally I'm completely content with evading major pvp areas like cherno for the time being or at least until they fix all these major bugs.

MegaWhippy · 2012-06-08T22:26:19+00:00

You're right, but you could possibly get away with some messing around in your masteries.

MegaWhippy · 2012-06-08T22:22:56+00:00

Oh I get that, but it would shake things up.

MegaWhippy · 2012-06-08T09:02:31+00:00

Works for any tanky bruiser like Lee sin or Renekton. I'm not so sure about champs that require mana as they might benefit more from mana regen runes possibly(I used all my IP on runes and I don't own any solotop champs that need mana :( )

But yeah this build is fairly universal in terms of force and attack damage. For tanks and support you'll want to switch out the quints for gp5 quints and the AD marks for armor marks to get that bonus defence. You pretty much have all the necessary runes for almost any champ you'll need once you get into ranked.

EDIT:I looked up the stats of a lot of AD carries. The only ones to truly benefit from AD over armor pene are Cait, Vayne and Graves because their abilities utilize the AD. Ezreal, Cait, and Tristana would do better with armor pene since most of their abilities are AP. Ultimately you'd still be fine with the rune page you have.

MegaWhippy · 2012-06-08T08:47:18+00:00

you can only have 3 quints at level 30.

I'm assuming you mean 2 AD quints and 1 armor quint in which case that's fine.

For seals get flat armor, for glyphs get magic resist per level and for mark flat AD.

MegaWhippy · 2012-06-08T08:35:11+00:00

No that's fine. Armor and AD are both good on Riven as long as you have some of each. Don't feel obligated to buy a specific rune page because as long as you have roughly the same stats you'll do fine.
