Anyone need help? Champion recommendations?...

[quote=Jet]i should stress that most of US's top played champs like vlad, ez, garen and twitch were during their "op" stages[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]can't forget JANNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :D[/quote]

[quote=eXecute]That's interesting stuff. Seems outdated. Also I don't see any mention of say Kennen, Karthus, or LeBlanc, are they too new for the statistics to make sense? Or are they just not that powerful? Oh wait, is it because this is ranked stats, and they are usually banned champs?[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]They are never banned. Except for mebbe Kennen sometimes. When you play ranked, you will see, but as of right now, the top bans that I see are: Amumu Rammus Vlad Shen and some others :) please, look @ page 2 of this thread and my response to your comment on my guide, it should answer some questions you have.[/quote]

[quote=eXecute]Yes, thanks a lot for taking the time for the lengthy explanations. You're probably right that it is my inexperience, but I was hoping there was a magical answer in item-build that could mitigate the inexperience or the survivability of ganks.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]xD if constant damage and ganks are bothering you, what about trying a tank...?[/quote]

[quote=Shourai]If ganks bother you, be map aware and tower hug the way they do it to you. ^^ Nothing better then surviving a gank than preventing one.[/quote]

[quote=eXecute]I'm just saying that finding the right balance is hard sometimes. I try to be map aware, but if I have a low score, most of the time, it's because they have a damage dealer in the other team that two-three shots me during team fights, not because they caught me off guard. Katarina has to get close to do damage, so I have to shunpo and ultimate, but sometimes the damage is too low and you just get three-four shot-dead, if I try to play it safe, then teammates complain that I didn't go in and ultimate.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]How many survivability items do you buy? You should probably buy AT LEAST one good survivability item depending on the team (ex: Zhonya's, Banshee's Veil)[/quote]

[/quote] Well, that's what happens, you have to tailor your gameplay and item build to the match. If you are getting 2 shotted when you shunpo in, don't shunpo in. you'll get the hang of it eventually :P[/quote]
