whats jungling?

Jungling is somewhat synonymous with the word "ganking".

Ganking is the term when a player leaves the lane (or jungle) they have been playing in (top, mid, or bot) to temporarily help another lane by killing an opponent in that lane.

Jungling is the action of starting out early game with neutral monsters that are in the "jungle" instead of the enemy monsters/champions lane. This means that the player in the jungle can easily gank whenever he wants due to his constant moving around of the map.

Some characters are more gank oriented instead of jungle, like shaco who is 80% gank, 20% jungle.

Other's like Warwick is 100% jungle until level 6.

You is got squished?

Edit: Also, my AP Sion is having the wonderful habit of going flawless nearly every game I get to pick him. And I'm picking up Talon, Graves and Gangplank in the near future (probably Lee Sin in addition via Riot points just so I'm in time to have that skin) so I'll never touch AD Sion again. I so hate playing AD Sion once I got used to AP, he just isn't ever as good.

Iron Lion Sion FTW.

i checked the noob chat .........it was full with people with lv higher than 15 O_O

**Eliwood** 2012-01-18, 13:07

I finally reached God Tier with Talon.

The only person I lose to atm is extremely good Lee Sin's.

/proud of myself.

For League of Legends, LITERALLY anyone who is not lv30 and an established player with experience is considered a noob. Basically those of us (myself incluced) who haven't reached lv30 haven't actually played.

i still dont get all the words they use there whats ganking?

**CheyMcFly** 2012-01-19, 14:36

raidou wrote:i still dont get all the words they use there whats ganking?

It is a word commonly used in online video games, usualy used in an MMORPG. Ganking is the process in which a group of charecters gang up on one or more players that do not have a chance to defend themselves

^taken from urban dictionary xD

**raidou** 2012-01-19, 18:54

i was told to google to find out how to use morgana

seems this game is more complicated than i thought

**Vincent** 2012-01-19, 23:50

Morgana is quite strait-foward actually. I mean, you can win team fights for your team by just popping sheild on yourself and walking into them with your ulti.

As for laning, Tormented Soil makes a good farming tool, and can double as a harassment tool if placed under someone the second your cast your snare, getting some nice damage easily.

---------------

I'm going to use the current free list to polish my Vayne game before I buy her, or just see if I don't like her at all. I severely doubt that though, she seems pretty effective so far.

---------------

Chey, you forgot to use it in a sentence, lol.

An example of ganking would be something like: If an enemy champion in the top lane had pushed your friend back to where his turret is placed by being aggressive; he asked for help via gank. You would then take an inconspicuous path into the bushes placed behind or beside the enemy and wait until the best opportunity to surprise attack him along with your ally(s) in that lane. Once that's done, clean up the minion wave(s) and either destroy the enemy turret in that lane or immediately return to your previous duties.

Either buy wards (listed under Consumables) that you can place in the bushes toward the river which will mark possible gank threats on your map, or pay more attention to the map in general so you are aware when enemies are missing from lanes other than your own, this way you can play accordingly and retreat when necessary, well before you are ganked.

Didn't really need to see that. I gotta friend who took up Rumble; that champion is a lot better than people give him credit for. A lot better.

I'm loving Olaf myself, but next rotation is killing me. Since I'm not lv30 yet I'm still surrounded by potential noobs who haven't learned a thing and will quick freebies wildly with no concern for team structure. And now Riot went and put doubles for Carry, Tank, and AP Burst Off-Tanks, with my Sion being one of those as the finishing insult.

On the bright side, most of the free champs really do appeal to me. I'm basically hoping to luck out with my Vlad games similiar to how Eliwood did; he seems pretty solid, especially now that his ulti is no cost. I always liked the on-paper layout of Vladimir, and I got to see a succesful one today (at my expense as Olaf,sigh) and I was impressed with how damn tough he is to kill when he paces himself.

**CheyMcFly** 2012-01-24, 13:58

I just started playing Morgana
I now know why she is perma banned from Ranked.

**Eliwood** 2012-01-24, 15:37

My favorite AP caster is blocked this week... I won't get to use him much q.q

THE HORROR
THE ABSOLUTE HORROR OF PEOPLE INITIATING WITH SANGUINE POOL

Save me...

**CheyMcFly** 2012-01-24, 17:31

Who is your favorite caster? what do you mean by blocked? You mean in ranked/draft?

**Vincent** 2012-01-25, 00:51

He means Vladimir; Vlad is free and now the noob swarm will commence, hardcore. Basically locking him out of the character.

**CheyMcFly** 2012-01-25, 01:04

ah I understand

You think by that point they could have all agreed to pass a surrender before 45 minutes had passed - seriously.

I really like Leona. I liked Vladimir too, but I simply don't get many opportunities to use him what with someone always picking a solid AP Carry before I get a chance. Leona is officially going to be my favorite tank now though. The suppression is just so very good.

I really want to get and play the new Jax. I love the kit he has now. His previous one was pretty godlike, sure, but now he just looks like more fun. A true mix fighter.

EDIT: Who is Stefan Aldridge? Just a tad curious

I keep seeing jungle Jax and it is scary.
Also nid/ morg are really fun.

Anyone got another champions to suggest?

Annddd can someone show me how to go AD nid? I keep getting told it's great..but.. i love my spear with AP

also yes I thought they would too..i had more kills than their entire team...

**Vincent** 2012-01-30, 04:11

Morgana is godlike. And I dunno too much about Nid, so I couldn't say.

I guess you'd spam tiger moves moar or something.

I'm not sure it's worth passing up 60%-70% HP damage spear throws though.

Ever thought of recording matches? You seem like you have a big enough ego to enough it! Heh.

You troll a lot, with somewhat sneaky characters. Try Twitch.

hehe i'm honestly not that good, i could try streaming, but i don' want people to see me derp. I post my good matches, that is all Very Happy

. I only have "an ego" if the other team is like "we're sooo good" and talk crap the whole game, oh, then I get bragging rights when I win Very Happy

. haha I have to learn to stream, but once my computer is faster I can try.

**Vincent** 2012-01-30, 05:27

Regardless whether you do awesome or you derp, both are entertaining. You might as well stream. Try Twitch. And stream it.

Cool.

**Eliwood** 2012-01-31, 00:30

My brother just got a game with 57 kills on misfortune.
And they still lost.
Too funny of a game.

Wonder why Lee Sin was nerfed this patch though...

Also, Caitlyn on rotation for the 50th time.

**Vincent** 2012-02-01, 03:57

See, that game should've been streamed.

I wanna see someone reach 3 digits in kills and still lost legitimately.

**CheyMcFly** 2012-02-01, 15:47

Anyone excited for the new champ. He kinda reminds me of kennen idk why xD. His physical appearance, not his skills./

Fucking ecstatic. Also, they're both yordles, i.e. both part of the same race therefore similar-looking.

Though I personally first thought of Ratchet (as in Ratchet & Clank) looking at him.

His damage looks ridiculous and his kit appeals to me. According to my friend, first impressions were great; with the exception that his MR/Armor is total shit (to the point that even though he is a caster it is noticeable). Almost felt like he was taking true damage when he got hit as Ziggs.

**Vincent** 2012-02-16, 04:26

I am lovin' Nautilus. In depth posts on LoL happenings later perhaps.

Nerf is far from fatal though. He should be fine. And he's free this week. SO I might toy with using him as a solo top. I love solo top.

**!____Nannerpuss** 2012-02-16, 21:56

Soloin top is fun, I just did it as Naut, he handles himself pretty well. But it seems that people just haven't been used to seeing him on the field. But I harassed Singed with Riptid and my W-shield move for the poison.

**Vincent** 2012-02-17, 01:09

I had a fail Naut that sunk our game. My GP went negative for the first time in forever. 1/9/16. My kills were no longer being stolen. They were being hunted.
