Lina without Laguna?

Well...

That's not really Lina :)

Thanks Sir Wellington for the info about the masteries.

Just one questions: The masteries things get better the more points you spend on one side, right?

So getting a jack-of-all-trades is not as good?

Thanks,
TheSofa


YOu know, the flashy abilities Brand has (Q,W,E). I don't really know >///< (played DotA once, never again).

And yes, the masteries on one side gets better the more you spend points on it. (Is it right?)
Sig made by me!

With very few exceptions, you'll almost always see people putting 18 points in one mastery tree, and 12 in another.
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Because of the synergistic nature of League stats, it's almost always best to concentrate in a small variety of stats than get a little of everything. That's why you'd go 18 deep into one tree, and why it's usually best to put all 5 points into one side of a tree tier. It's also why you shouldn't get more than 4 or maybe5 unique stats from runes. The masteries (and runes) you pick should reflect and enhance your in-game playstyle.

hey sofa, (you remember me maybe)

hope you are adjusting a bit to LoL (also now you can really see the argument of DotA and LoL look the "same" but are completely different games.

for all available summoners see your profile and then the summonners tab if you haven't found that yet

on heroes that are kinda the same (mostly on ability part):
- ahse is kinda like drow, however since her reworked q it's less (now she passively slows instead of a super strong slow on her q)
- Brand isn't like lina at all (only for his w but without stun) his ult is more like a lich ult without slow (and perm bounces)
- cassiopedia has a medusa like ult only more instant and no damage bonus
- Corki and gyro share the same sort of model but that's kinda it
- Ekko's weaver-like ult
- evelyn being almost perma invis like riki (with some exception with range)
-correcting this Heimerdinger has turrets and stuff but doesn't come really close to tinker
- Karthus has an ult like zeus (only his one has a channel)
- Nami has a heal that kinda gives an effect like dazzles heal (it heals and can deal damage depending on target and it flows between a target of the opposite team (like I heal my Karthus and the enemy Riven is to close to him she will get damaged etc. (every target can be hit only once))
- Shaco has a lot in common with BH he has teh invis (shorter duration then bh) and a sort shuriken like bh
that were most of them I probably missed some (as I haven't played dota in some time huge burnout on it)

you also have some comparable items
- Bami's Cinder and all upgraded itesm from it have a burnign effect like radiance
- Banshee's Veil gives an effect like linkin's sphere with blocking a spell
- Frozen Heart gives an attackspeed reduction like shiva's from dota
- Frozen Mallet and Rylai's Crystal Scepter have an effect like skadi (without as reduction) mallet for basic attacks crystal scepter for abilities
-[guardian angel]] is like roshan however with only 30% health and mana (and I believe CD don't get reset)
- Infinity Edge increases like Daedalus crit damage
- Locket of the Iron Solari has an active like pipe however it also blocks physical damage
- Randuin's Omen has an active like shiva's ((shiva's is kinda split into 2 items)
- Statikk Shiv is comparable to maelstrom lightning
- Thornmail is like blademail but only returns basic attack damage
- zhonya's hourglas is kinda comparable to eul's as you can make yourself untargetabble with it

again forgot some probably
hope it helps you a bit though

Just an imo (obviously since new masteries are just out and I can't say for sure) but I believe riot designed the masteries so that you can go:

18-12-0
or
18-6-6

Going to only the second branch for your remaining 12 masteries doesn't look so bad.

Of course, don't bother with the masteries too much for now, you've got 30 more levels to go before you rack up all the mastery points cx

6 more levels to go. Question, I'm planning to get shyvana as my next champ for jg, is she any good now? I mean, i did hear that Guinsoo is incredibly powerful right now, and the likes of Yi and Jax would be much better suited, both in JG and TOP. But, i really like shyvana's playstyle more than Jax and Yi
