Skarner, The Crystal Vanguard

Crystal Slash: Skarner lashes out with his claws, dealing physical damage to all nearby enemies and charging himself with Crystal Energy for several seconds if a unit is struck. If he casts Crystal Slash again while empowered by Crystal Energy, he deals bonus Magic Damage and slows all targets hit.
Crystalline Exoskeleton: Skarner gains a shield and while the shield persists his movement speed and attack speed are both increased.
Fracture: Skarner summons a blast of crystalline energy which deals damage to enemies struck and marks them. Any further damage dealt to marked targets by Skarner will allow him to consume the mark to heal himself.
Impale (Ultimate): Skarner suppresses an enemy champion and deals magic damage to it. During this time, Skarner can move freely and will drag his helpless victim around with him. When the effect ends, Skarner's target will be dealt additional damage.

finally mastered Alistar and Cho'Gath

Tanks that I have managed to master, from easiest to hardest:

Mordekaiser, Amumu, Leona, Cho'Gath, Alistar

Played Shen and Taric so-so... not really interested in this two compare to the above. Galio might be next but his only useful ability is his ulti, the rest does not contribute that much to teamplay.

So far I find Rammus hardest to master... anyone feeling the same way? Prolly u could share a tip or two as I'm really noob with him. (even after reading the best guides in Leaguecraft, I still suck with him)

Add me in NA server as mostly I play tank... ID: MarkXKiller

This post has been edited by Davidtcf: Aug 14 2011, 10:40 AM

i play mordekaiser more as tank because the team would need a tank more than an AP usually. If there are instances where other tanks are present, i'll switch to AP mord instead. (still, HP is important to Morde)

Cho and Alistar is sort of Tanky AP as well. That includes Maokai. I would get some AP items when using these champs. (still, tanky items are needed unless your team performs very well)

Thanks for the link, appreciate it. Read a few and disagreed with some... Some guides are written good tho. Leaguecraft ain't that bad if you only read those rated with Great, Excellent or Featured guides. So far mastered a few champs because of those guides. You never know they have high ELO too, no? Nyway I'm not a constant rank player... a rank game requires a smooth connection + a great team to always win.. something that we lack here (stupid msia broadband). Would usually join during the weekends due to the heavy presence of noobs ruining normal games in NA during that period.

Thanks nyway!

yeah... problem is most ppl get too much AP for Morde.. resulting in him being weak as f***.. anytime he gets focus he'll die in less than 5 seconds

u dont need a lot of AP to make him terrifying.. just a Rylai or Abyssal Scepter.

my usual build,

Doran Shield, Regrowth Pendant, Heart of Gold (5 gold every 10 secs is important here), Merc Threads, <start making warmog> Chain Vest, Negatron, finished warmog, AP item (Abyssal or Rylai), finish Omen or Banshee/Abyssal, GA or other tank/AP item (u can add hextech, Rabaddon, Zhonya here).

done u have a tanky+ dmg loaded Morde. to Add more dmg if the team has little CC would be Sorceror's Shoe.

alot ppl don't know how to control the Morde's image.... use Alt + right click... i did some kills using the image bfore.. it does quite a decent dmg especially when it creates the image of a high dmg opponent e.g. Ashe, Jax, Xin...

really afraid they might make it like HoN one day.... all banned countries can't access.. GG

cool... no need use hotspot shield already!!

awesome bro... u are a genius!

tested and it works GREAT

(do a backup of the file regardless.. i did mine by copying it outside of the folder and rename it to NA_en_USbackup.tra )

thanks much!

This post has been edited by Davidtcf: Aug 17 2011, 02:39 AM

YES... hotspot shield sucks with its massive amount of ADs.. xD

download NA client please.. Gayrena one is crap... go to http://na.leagueoflegends.com/

then un-ban yourself using these codes:



Why Gayrena sucks? Ask the rest yourself here to know why...

ok i'll try redownload Gayrena to give it a shot.

The last time I download and run the client it crashed on my Windows 7 64 bit... the thing just dissapear without a reason. That's why got so pissed with it

This post has been edited by Davidtcf: Aug 21 2011, 11:02 AM

i just installed Gayrena client and ran (downloaded the client in the office due to being a weekend).

Haha but now it's taking ages to find players at level 1.. lol guess I joined too late xD

1 guy(Brandt) left in game when we're doing ok at level 4.. was amumu in the game with 6 kills/5deaths. Opposing team is quite pro as if they played LoL before.

made the game lost...

Found out I had to start all over in Gayrena. Unless, if I choose to transfer everything from NA to it. Which I'm afraid not at this point of time.

True, the ping is way better than NA server. Just that starting over with a new nick? Tough man.. very very tough. Took me almost a year to reach where I am with all the unlocks I've accumulated.

This post has been edited by Davidtcf: Aug 22 2011, 12:05 AM

i think one day when there is no way to bypass to NA server.. then everyone will be force to migrate to Gayrena that time

Now arh.. ppl like me will still prefer NA server

sounds like not really a stable community yet.... sad =/

*goes and play LoL NA coz he couldn't take the wait on Gayrena queue*
