Diamond division 1 player Dr Rick Santorum...

[quote=Dr Rick Santorum][quote=TheVirginBoar] Because of the community(-.-) I learned to play every single role. ADC, Support and Jungle are my main roles and I love to play these tanky initiators like [[Maokai]] or [[Malphite]]. Do you have any tips or tricks how I can maximize their potential? [/quote] The biggest thing to remember when playing initiates is when to disengage. I see alot of player mindlessly fight it out with the enemy carries until their death. It's typically much better to back off towards your own backline when you are ~20%hp, as you still do your job without feeding the enemy carries gold in the process.[/quote]

[quote=Dr Rick Santorum][quote=Pølsemanden] @yannis - honestly i think 1 high elo should answer most lol-related questions. Anyone after this one would have to be for personal questions or a great deal of time in the future or people wouldn't have any questions. @OP have you tried jax jungle as a counter to xin zhao? Jax is really good at counterganking mid ganks as well as top ganks(not so much bottom ganks, but 2 out of 3), he also outduels xin zhao at any point of the game. So he can pretty much take all of xin zhao's strengths(mid/top pressence and the NO-FEAR OF THE RIVER) and turn them against him since everytime he makes a move mr. jax fucks it over. If you haven't, try it and tell me what your thoughts on it are/were. Also do you know any pros personally? [/quote] I tried jungle jax recently. The biggest problem that I saw with it was the lack of gold due to having to build mandreds/wriggles, which makes him super weak in teamfights midgame compared to xin who can function much better without strong items in fights. Personally? Not really, but I do talk with them pretty much every day in solo q. I knew Dyrus when he was still in Hawaii, but his ego got inflated when he started playing with EG.[/quote]

[/quote] dyrus has an inflated ego? News to me, since I pretty much thought he was one of the most humble pro's in esports.[/quote]

You mentioned that you don't like to play ADC, but what do I do against a aggressive lane? For example: I played as [[Caitlyn]] with [[Taric]] against a [[Vayne]] and [[Alistar]]. They dominated us and won the lane easy. What can you do against such a lane and do you have any advises for me how to play against a [[Vayne]] in general? Edit: What is the best way to jungle Jarvan? Runes, masteries, items, etc.[/quote]
