How the top lane is playing these days

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]How is Skarner top? I'm assuming...Not amazing..I had a game last night where I jungled him, he's so mana starved I can't see him excelling there against other less mana dependent champs.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]Luther3000 just beat me with both Udyr and Gangplank. But I'd like to point out that it wasn't the champions he was using that was countering me, though. It was the fact that he was both using magic resist glyphs and taking null-magic mantle on his first recall... In a ranked game I wouldn't have people going solo top with magic resist glyphs. :S[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]^^Umm I'd like to point out that it depends who they send top....If they do double AP with an OT jungler/MT jungler+support AD Bot...Yeah MR glyphs are a good choice. It's not called counter building because it sounds cool ya know.[/quote]

[/quote] I can beat AP's with magic resist glyphs anyway because I can still heal on minions and keep my mana decent while they run out of mana using spells on me. But on people like Udyr and GP they still have a lot of damage output WITHOUT their spells. Yeah, I know building magic resist in items is counter-building and viable. But no one has magic resist glyphs on their solo top rune page. :/ What does OT and MT mean?[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime][quote=Temzilla] I want 2 no ur mord bild mang. [/quote] Still a work in progress... I might eventually release a guide for it if it's stronky but I'm still in week one of testing. Builds could evolve and change over time. Right now the main core is Merc treads revolver spirit visage :D [quote=Nighthawk] I'm not buying that Duff is suddenly good on Morde :P [/quote] Oh please. Suddenly good on Morde *Chuckle* Small children could be suddenly good on Morde xP [quote=JEFFY40HANDS] How is Skarner top?

There's some match ups he wins and others he loses. :P Naturally. [quote=Vapora Dark] Luther3000 just beat me with both Udyr and Gangplank.

I would think it's MORE likely that you're gonna get counter runes in rank, bub.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Here are the games: [img]http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2701/udyrvswarwick.png[/img] I was 0/21/9 using AD reds, armour yellows, flat MR blues, AD quints. [img]http://oi39.tinypic.com/2dj8e9l.jpg[/img] I was 21/9/0 using ArP reds, armour yellows, MR/lvl (forgot to change them to flat), AD quints. In all three games Vapora started Doran's Ring (versus GP he bought two), bought Sorc shoes and then went for Madred's Bloodrazor.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]As Skarner he bought doran's rings vrs Udyr and GP. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Alright now it all makes sense :P[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Skarner? He was playing Warwick. This is from where he challanged me to prove Udyr and GP were good counters to Warwick. Second pic isn't working for some reason. Edit: Fixed it.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Ah. That makes more sense. When someone says "X" champion counters everything, it's hard to take it seriously :P[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]I have a really hard time understanding why one would go madreds if starting out on magewick. The only on-hit I would consider is TBC for that ultimate and maybe a gunblade for overall sustainability.[/quote]
