Reign of Gaming

Welcome to the site :) Looking forward to read more atricles about midlane :) I'm glad that someone will focus on it finally ^^

Frostfire Annie's stun is way harder to see than at any other skin.

I know :> New style ^^

Go M5!  You are still the best team on the world!

The most viable out of there:

Katarina, Lux, Ryze, Twisted Fate, Annie.

Ryze and Annie are not viable. Both of them have short range and basically can't do shit against good pushers.  Ryze in particular is also easily ganked meaning he's especially screwed in terms of trying to be aggressive at all earlygame.

Kennen and Veigar are better picks. Kennen actually has a very strong laning phase overall, and he can push and harass well just generally speaking, and doesn't need that much farm to be useful to a team. Veigar mostly does the same thing as Annie, except he's better than Annie because his mana pool is larger and his stun is incredibly stupid and because he gets to pick whatever runes and masteries he wants because of his free scaling.

You are wrong.  Both Ryze and Annie are strong in goodhands.

And what do you talk about the manapool of Annie? you lasthit with Q, and you get back the mana. It's just insane lane presure, they cant push the lane on you, and if the enemy is not carefull you instakill him with your ultimate.

And about Ryze, you dont have to be agressive on lane, you only have to farm at early.  If he is farmed enough he is a beast in the mid/lategame. Ryze is a gamechanging champion.

Jarvan is a really underrated support, but if you check his spells he is a Leona type support. He also grants armor and attackspeed, can iniciate, and even slow with shield. His ultimate is enemy dependent, because its nearly useless againist an ezreal, but you can catch a MF in it without getting away (unless flash).

His passive is really strong earlys (but falls as leveling), and with a partner like trist who has nice lvl2 dmg, and calculate that you are at the blue side and you did golems, its easy fb, or at least some flashes, if the enemy is (not) carefull.

The bigger pool of items soon will create even more differencies between the same champions (next to skill).

But i think the most important is the change of jungle, and the new money system (higher prizes/money you get). These two will affect, and change the game on a high level, and i think everyone is exited, and willing to learn how to play/play aganist the new jungle, becasue thats will be hard to get used to. And you have to think your moves even more wisely, because due to the money buff, you will lose more money from lane if you leave it in a hope of a good gank, or invade (roam) and u will need that money for the items which got more expensive only. I think it will affect the "snowballing" pretty much, but also, it will be harder to make a comeback. with more gold differences.

Thats my opinion, maybe im wrong, cuz.. noone can know it for sure yet :D

I wish you guys gl in S3 and see ya on the fields of justice! 

Remember, Abyssal wasnt changed for a really long time, and nobody said its strongor even built it, and then boom, an OP item appeared which is built on every champion , as well as DFG(well it was reworked and got popular after that) 

Powerfull things will become even more powerfull later. And it gives to much DMG next to its utility already.

About DFG :

It wont grant you any CDR anymore, and -10%, it means you will have the dmg of the old dfg itself after 200 AP, and just calculate with the MR, i dont think its worth it it because if you face your lane partner with some mr or only with Grail, which is quite popular, u gona have a bad time, but yes as u mentioned later when u meet enemy AD it can be sg, but i still dont see any chance of it.. we will see.

In my opinion DFG is getting out of the game, as Morello said he wanted to remove it from the game, but making it totalyl useless is the same.

My question is : What Kage's will be good for? - Morellos Tome is kinda same as the new Grail , but waaay weeker.I t grantz you less mana, less ap, no deffense aganist laning openent, but +5% CDR , and its active..i doubt its worth buying aganist even a mundo--> too much gold thrown out lategame--> gg Evil Tome 

And dont know if u recognized but (as well as other items) the APC itemz getting nerfed in circles.. if u remember first wass the Rabadon's nerf, it was so popular and there were only several possible builds without it, then every1 bought the Abyssal and sooner the DFGs, and both got nerfed. Riot nerfing the dmg output, but they also had to nerf the MR runes. Just thinking about what wil be the next( i mean no negativity, chaning is what this game needs to be exiting, but im not sure if riot is not cutting the wood under themselfs by these short thinkings)

Btw i bet the Grail will be the next item to be nerfed :>

Against Orianna I am always picking Syndra. She is my main ap-mid at the moment, and I can win most of my lanes with her, so as against Orianna. Syndra is very underrated, and no one expects high damage from her at the beginning.

Totally agree with you, Syndra is really nice aganist Orianna especially in earlys, but aganist lot of champs too, i only have problems when the enemy jungler recognize it and earlyganks me when im trying to kill the enemy :D silly mistake :$

If you have any question about Syndra I'd be happy to help you :D I think I have quite mastered her skills and stuff :P About early ganks it is easy. If you need to be in the middle of the lane, do not harass with ur E, and when jungler ganks u can stun him while ignoring Orianna's pathetic early combo, OR you can afford 150 gold for 2 wards in the 2 brush in the river at the back of the side brushes ^^

Hehe :D Im just suprised by her insane lvl1-2 dmg and used to be too agressive in the hope of an early/easy FB, but enemy jungler ruins everything :< :D

I think i will start to play her deeply, next to Elise, im i think will need your opinion on somethings. Especially about the building :D
