Anyone who has tried the matchup and care to comment? Does Irelia eventually start winning trades, or does Fiora just do too much damage?
I think the easiest way is just to poke her down. Her poke is only Q, which isn't that strong, so keep bladesurging and going away, imo. |

theoretically speaking, Fiora should win pre-wriggles, but around level 7 and wriggle's, I don't see how Fiora's supposed to wear irelia down.
I saw Wickd play the matchup as Fiora, and even though he got first blood right when he hit lvl 6 because the Irelia got greedy for some cs because she was bullying Fiora at lvl 5, when they both came back into lane Wickd just couldn't trade with Irelia at all. It wasn't even close. He ended up getting zoned super hard. |

What do you guys think Is a reasonable fluctuation in ELO? I just dropped 100 ELO and I really dont feel I played poorly at all. I feel like I'm doing better than ever but alot of times teams just dont know how to take objectives or teamfight.
Is 100 ELO just a reasonable bad streak or am I probably sucking and I just don't see it. |

100 is around the cutoff for a reasonable bad streak. I'd say that chances are pretty high that you're missing something in your own play. |

100 elo is fine, I think. I go up and down 100~ish on good and bad days sometimes. The worst I've ever had was a 200 drop on one single horrible day.
It was kinda funny when I thought about it the next day. |

I think it's ok. In fact it happens to me I just fail with my usual champs then I try some i don't play that often and lose more elo. When I want to get my elo back I personally pick nidalee top & lee sin jungle which are my win elo champs. Sometimes I jsut train with new champs and I can also lose some elo, specially if there is no clear guide on TL. If there is one I just feel good whereas it's the understanding of better players which carry me. Make a clear mundo guide please. full crits page does not work on him since they nerfed his ulti. |

Yeah, Wit's is a horrible item on Shen. It's also really smart to build a 3,9k item to ''counter'' a single champ and then do next to nothing against the rest of their team. Also, do you build it regardless of what you play? Duh. |

it's usually shen top, and some form of bruiser jungle. I just tear through everyone with madreds bloodrazer. Obviously not my first item to rush, but definitely a mid-lategame goal. |

How does an item that gives 40 AD, 40% aspd, and 4% magic dmg of max health per hit do next to nothing vs their entire team? Who exactly does it do exactly nothing against? A tank with no hp and mass mres? Do you consider 40 AD and 40 aspd nothing in that case, seeing as he'll have no armor then? Last edit: 2012-03-02 08:19:44 |

| -200 elo is reasonable imo, i tried to go for 300 but was too tired. I don't know how I never got banned though since I chat-threw every game and even added some people after to continue the conversation. One of them even screenshotted and said he was sending it to his riot friend. Brees on the other hand plays one game and gets banned the next day. HOW |

The problem of MBR are not it's stats but the cost and the fact it's hard to build on most people unless they build it as their 6th item. On basically any champ I can think of, I'd rather spend 4k gold on anything but MBR and be more useful in 9/10 teamfight scenarios. BF sword items are better for damage, and for 4k, you can get loads survivability.
Sure, it's great late game, but I'd never rush it. Ever. Last edit: 2012-03-02 08:35:10 |

Even on Kog Maw Madred's isn't even remotely competitive with an IE build until the target has about 3000 HP and then they're roughly even as long as your target is even on resistances. Mixing the two types of builds sucks even more, and IE has the natural advantage of benefiting from lifesteal, crit, and easy access to movespeed.
Meanwhile MBR by itself is inferior to WE or even spark in every way. Even combining WE and Spark is better than buying MBR.Last edit: 2012-03-02 08:41:36 |

Apparently, according to Phreak, Swain E, Vlad ult, and Poppy ult DO NOT increase the damage that ignite deals, (or in the case of vlad, any source of true damage from anyone).
Have I been wrong in thinking that they did all this time, or is this another case of Phreak being Phreak. |
