Diamond division 1 player Dr Rick Santorum...

[quote=Dr Rick Santorum][quote=Tsunakai] OK so I'm getting into the ranked thing, and I want to jungle as Maokai. Any tips or tricks u can throw at me? Much apreciated :D [/quote] Jungle maokai has one of the best kits for ganking in the game, along with decent jungle clear. As for tips and tricks; Remember that your W ALWAYS bring you to wherever the target is. This can be good or bad. It's bad when whoever you are W'ing on flashes into tower range or their team, and brings you with them. Although this is also why it's so powerful. Ahri thinks she can escape? NOPE. You follow her 3000 units and root Your Q has a short knockback in the direction you cast it, so make sure after you root them you walk a little bit infront to move them back a little farther. Although his E does almost no damage lategame, it's very useful for warding. Put it at chokes in the jungle. His ultimate doesn't have good damage either, so use it mainly for damage reduction in teamfights.[/quote]

[quote=Dr Rick Santorum][quote=utopus] Q: I am the designated jungler for my ranked team, Anthrax Sandwich. I have had a good run with jungle shyvana (even though i'm too poor to buy a hybrid penetration rune page for her lol). I have a lot of trouble ganking lanes though - especially pre-6. I run exhaust smite, to help with ganks and duels that could happen with the other jungler, but i often find it just not enough to set up ganks. [b]when should i choose jungle shyvana in ranked teams?[/b] Q: [b] Do you think the new champion quinn should be built ADC, or bruiser?[/b] Q: This is a little bit of an embarassing one for me, but i really should ask it. [b] What should an ADC do when playing against a kill lane?[/b] Whenever i play twitch, i always have trouble going against kill lanes like leona + draven Q: [b] What's your favorite breed of cats?[/b] I like tabbies a lot :3 Q: [b]What are the two most important thing a solo top player should do to contribute to the mid-game?[/b] Splitpush? Contest Dragon? Q: [b] What goes through your mind when you choose a jungler in champion select?[/b] Tell me about what you think of, before the game starts [/quote] 1. You should play shyvana in comps with strong lanes that don't need much jungle pressure. She is very, very strong at counterjungling, but very weak in ganking. 2. I don't know enough about her yet. 3. Try to farm as safely as possible. You will outscale them lategame. Try to harass them with your range whenever they go for last hits, but avoid being engaged on at all costs. 4. NORWEGIAN FOREST CATS. THEY ARE SO FLUFFY AND ADORABLE OMG 5. This depends on the specific scenario and the team. For example, if you are teleport top malphite, you will want to help your team secure a dragon ASAP through powerful ganks. If you're Nidalee top, you would usually be better off taking the turret beforehand, but then heading to dragon. 6. In solo Q, I think of what the enemy has and what my team has as well. For example, if my team has a singed I DO NOT want to choose j4. J4's ult is actually harmful to team synergy with a singed. If we have a strong AOE comp, I might go for amumu or sejuana so we can wombo better. If we have a good split comp, like nid and tf, I will go hecarim so I have high mobility and pushing potential.[/quote]

[quote=Dr Rick Santorum][quote=DillButt64] do you think trundle will get better when health stacking and armor/mres are more balanced? im talking about as a jungler because ive been using him and he clears fast and can counter jungle good from my experiences also what is your first 6 levels on hecarim? i normally go W > Q > W > E > Q > R [/quote] Trundle is currently weak due to low damage (even though most of his kit relies on damage), and the health meta is a more recently thing, whereas trundle has been regarded weak for quite a while. His jungle is one of the strongest in the game, and pillar is OP when utilized correctly in the jungle. I like to go Q-W-Q-E-Q-R because I can usually carry over the 2 stacks from Q from wolves to blue buff, which makes it faster than W. XJ9 likes to start W as well, so I would go as far to say both starts are pretty much equal.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]Q: have you ever wanted to quit the game before due to the toxic community? Q: how do you deal with toxic players in solo queue? Q: what is your least favorite role to play?[/quote]

[quote=DarkPercy]About Hecarim: The second point in W also makes your sustain much better in the jungle because it increases the maximum healing you can get from minions for each rank. I really think it's worth puting a second point in it early, do you? And also, what's your [[hecarim]] build at the moment? I'm only Plat V and I want to get up and I really like [[hecarim]] so I might try maining him or something. Would love tips if you feel like saying some off the top of your head. Lastly, I doubt you will but would you add me/accept my friend request in game :D?[/quote]

[quote=Dr Rick Santorum][quote=Anastasios] 1) How did you choose your name? 2) Do you play Cho'Gath? If yes, how? (APish, bruiser, supportank?) 3) Do you play ARAMs? Who is your favorite ARAM champion? 4) Who is the most unconventional jungler you have played, and how did it turn out? 5) How do you see the LoL community from "up there"? Do you find the players in low elo different from the ones in mid/high/very high in terms of behavior? 6) How many times a day do you feed your cats? [/quote] 1. About a year ago, I saw a guy named Rick Santorum running for president. I did some research on him, and decided this was the most hilarious person I have ever heard of. And since I like to have fun and goof off alot, I thought it was fitting. 2. Yes, I play chogath usually toplane as pure tank. Warmogs, Randiuns, etc. Simply because I like to be this big monster that nobody can kill (and his spells have great utility and base damages already)! 3. I play arams from time to time. Katarina is my favorite aram champion, since you get so many resets. 4. Jungle heimer. We won. The turrets can take camps by themselves, and he has an aoe stun and blind so he never takes damage in the jungle. I've tried to jungle pretty much everyone in the game, and even though there are some weaker junglers than heimer I've tried, he was the funnest. 5. Yeah. In elo ranges below diamond you get trolls who don't try and often lose the game intentionally. At this elo range everybody plays troll champs and just haves fun, since in the end everyone is trying to win even though they may not seem like it. 6. I usually just leave food out for them whenever. My dog only eats cat food as well (even though we leave a bowl of dogfood out for her) so it works out fine. The catfood I put outside often attracts squirrels, birds, and opossums as well![/quote]

[quote=Dr Rick Santorum][quote=Ninja Trigger] Q: have you ever wanted to quit the game before due to the toxic community? Q: how do you deal with toxic players in solo queue? Q: what is your least favorite role to play? [/quote] 1. Actually, yes. I've quit twice for more than 4 months. When I came back I decided I wouldn't let this game make me angry and just to play and have fun. 2. To be honest, I like to watch them wallow in their own anger. It's pretty amusing that these people are getting so very emotional over a few pixels and imaginary rating points. My favorites are people who issue death threats. 3. AD carry. I feel like I do less damage than the tanks QQ[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Oh hey =o I've seen you around a bit and I think played with you a couple of times. Nice to see you doing this ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions I have also quit the game twice and now I'm back and my goal is to get to gold and see where I can go from there, just waiting till I can finish my runes and get a few more champs down. Two more question Q: do you think Riot should make more game modes or even a 10v10 mode? Q: how did you find out about League of Legends?[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]"do you think Riot should make more game modes or even a 10v10 mode?" 10v10? wat[/quote]
