OMG THIS IS MAD. HOW CAN THEY CREATE THIS CHAMPION? OMG OMG...

i prefer a pure tank Taric build, less spam on Crystal armor unless can kill...

then support by healing and ult when attack.

will try your build if my team has other good tanks.

9/10 games i use taric my team sure win.. coz his ARMOR AURA IS JUST OP!!

caster amumu.. nice one..

but duno why recently i used been failing often...

maybe item build need to change.

tank build, i like to go for sunfire so as to make champs think twice before coming near me (x2 sunfire if u feel u need it, as for Garen's or Rammus case)

after which if there are alot of casters, i would go for Banshee. Force of nature is good for magic resist but it doesn't block spells or give u more hp, mana. Only more regen, only get it if you need such an item.

If there are few casters, till I can avoid getting magic resist (means opponent noob coz the enemy's tank can go for pure armor and pump more hp!), I would go straight for Raduin's Omen, and spam the item's slow on slot 2. When surrounded by many enemies flanked by your nearby teamates, quickly press 2 to help out and go straight for the weaklings. For the prerequisite, go for heart of gold first if u have a tough time farming, or warden's mail if you need extra regen and farming is not an issue.

Warmog Armor is a good item here. But in what circumstance do you need? Shen is a good example as it can utilize more dmg from his passive with more hp.
Warmog is good if you have plans to go for Atma's Impaler (18% crit, x2% of att dmg with max hp) - useful for Garen but so far dont have chance to try it out yet. (due to garen's spin actually has chance for critical %)

For the mentioned 3 classes, all 3 are usually used as high tank champs. Note that Rammus will utilize Boots of Swiftness greatly added to his spin and stun tactic. (moves quickly and stun quickly with spin).

Mordekaiser is a HP champ. More HP, more durability with spamming spells and lasting longer in battlefield.

To use a tank to its best, it is advisable to have good runes too, possible max all to lvl 3, with HP runes, dodge runes, -CD runes, Armor Pen/Magic Pen/Att speed runes, Speed movement/HP/Health Regen Quin...

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,
As a tank, it is very critical to know when to forward, backwards, and initiate. Alot of people fail at playing tanks, due to being too coward, afraid to die, miscalculated their hp to death ratio, or went in at the wrong time causing the whole team to fail and perish.

I personally feel, playing tank is the toughest character class in LOL, with so few ppl knowing how to proves it. Yet with a good tank in a pro team, it can turn the entire wave around even from almost losing to winning. Tanks make the opponents scowler in fear, as attking 5 enemies with a good tank inside, they could not aim him first as that would prove fatal, they could not leave him there too long as that could prove fatal too... the only way to kill a tank is when he wanders alone and not being careful, or when there's enough firepower to kill him.

A lousy tank makes the whole game alot tougher.

That's my 2 cents after using Amumu, Garen, Shen, Sion in most of my tank games

I AM ON BUT THE REST IN GAME

lag... won two and decided to stop

ping nice but lag, must be alot players pouring in near the weekends.

garen(a) sucks to the max.. ==

slow rollout for HoN... almost goner rollout for LoL...

sucky websites, can't even pronounce proper english and even have problem to reset password...

so many issues... hope we can access NA for life.. best server ever. Managed by Riot is the way to go.

Hope Valve (producer of Dota 2) will not follow what HoN and LoL did and instead manage their own servers across the globe.. that would definitely give pressure on these two!!

lol cool...

garena garena garena

=_=

halloween runes finish Zzz.. wanted to get health rune for 995.. sigh miss that one. just got 1k IP today.

Added on November 1, 2010, 9:47 pmeh got dammit!! forgot select "tier 2" runes!!

---

Added on November 1, 2010, 9:54 pmwhy i buy tier 2 halloween rune:

compare the below bettween the promotion runes and the usual lvl 3 priced runes... little difference only in terms of stats but huge difference in IP costs (by 100%):

Health rune:
995 IP +30 hp lvl 2 quin of bountiful treats
2050 IP +32.4 hp lvl 3 quin of fortitude

Speed rune:
995 IP +1.39 movement speed lvl 2 quin of speedy specter
2050 IP +1.5 movement speed lvl 3 quin of swiftness

chose the 2 above coz frequent use of tanks and dps/alkali/kat heroes.

grab them if u want to, quick coz 2nd November is last date for sale...

@inviz

forgot tell u...

spellcaster mastery amumu doesnt work well nymore after i pass lvl 27.. zz kept losing streak.

best now i notice is tank amumu mastery + tank runes/magic pen runes

get chalice for mana regen. The rest usual tank items (sunfire must.. get banshee first if vs more powerful casters than dps, or omen if vs more dps than casters)

just won one earlier with tht build. much more resilient.


===

earlier one of the reasons we lost cause i went banshee.. wrong! shud have went omen to counter the 3 dps then have 1 Negatron Cloak to counter 1 AP vlad. *always see which damage is more

so sorry i taught wrong.. sighhhhhhz.. still blaming our tank build for losing. see wrong. Zzz
