Amumu late says let me jungle; I say ok with 9 seconds left in queue. I change my summoner spells to Flash/Teleport to run solo top. My masteries are a bit awkward at 17/4/9. It's a massive sustain build. My bite turns wicked, but not finishing blow wicked. I tend to get lots of assists.

Missed it because my kids were talking.

Game Start and talk (first posting!)


We had it a bit shaky, but I did end up running top vs. Nautilus. My masteries + rune build enabled me to have far more sustain than I think he counted on. My first item is a Vampiric Sceptre.

There were some dumb moments where I put my face in the bush and fell for a bait, but overall I think I played reasonably well. It always helps having an Amumu; he was beating me to all the blues. I was irritated at first due to my Pillar, but his R is just as valuable, if not a lot more so.

We ended up winning with a 57/46/61 vs 45/57/78 record. I went 14/9/13 in the game. Ezreal was our real carry with 19/8/16.

My final build ended up going like this, Vampiric Sceptre, Mercury Treads, Phage, Zeal, Tiamat (mana + bite), Trinity Force, Warmogs Armor, Bloodthirster, Zeal. My last buy would have been the Phantom Dancer. I destroyed 2 Turrets and 2 Inhibitors, with 130 minions slain and 46 neutral mobs for 176 CS. In a 49 minute game. I need to work on my CS, a LOT.

Learned:


Trundle and Amumu have a nice synergy. Nautilus doesn't like being separated from his prey via the Pillar.
