What? Executioner's Calling is an amazing item. For mid-game/against sustain laners as bruisers it's godlike. Get an Executioners against a lanewick, and watch him cry as you destroy him. Same if they have a Mundo. It's also godlike if there's an enemy Soraka, regardless of which lane you're in.

Should also qualify it has amazing Sustain potential, as well as crit. Trynd/Gangplank etc.

Maybe I'm just not playing the right champions. I've never been into any of the champions who use it very often. Seems to be a very select number in my experience.

I don't understand the hate on EC either. Its a cheap, counterriffic (yes, I said it) item.

It's not your fault, everyone seems to overlook it as an item. I love it, especially against Lanewick when I'm playing a melee bruiser. It has such a short CD, for 50% healing reduce.

I do usually try to look for value in things others might overlook, but my three main champions (Vayne, Naut and Swain) don't really benefit from it. I guess in some situations it might be alright for Vayne, but it doesn't add an awful lot of damage, and that's what you're there for. Maybe I would think more highly of it if I played Gangplank more often like I used to.

Right, I think its more of a solo top counter type item. I suppose you could try it when laning against a Taric or Soraka...

So you tested Jungle Ez in a custom game and got reported? That's hilarious.

No lol, I did a custom game which of course went smooth.

Then I did a blind pick where it happened.

Mundo does not like the Mundo nerfs and the new item that has a built in ignite to counter mundo !

[HolyHammerStrike]

The Morgana skin is pretty awesome in my opinion.

Speaking of Mundo, what do people think of the new Sales pitches?

Mundo does not approve of this! But I really like the corporate Mundo skin probably the best in game imo the brief cases make me lol every time I see them. But I dont play Mundo much so these nerfs dont both me much =) I just wanted to RP Mundo. Rereading the "patchnotes" I like the changes to Yi it will make him much less sketchier jungler.

The huge 1980s Wall Street cellphone on Corporate Mundo is the actual stroke of genius.

[Duilliath]

That and Mr Mundoverse are two awesome skins that I would've bought if I actually played Mundo. Just can't stand him though, so I don't.

[Kurdiern]

Holy balls that Morgana skin. In game it's already amazing, but holy shit, that splash art just sealed the deal for me. Also fuck yeah, Irelia buff. I've been neglecting my girl lately <3. Also those Varus buffs look nice, still a def buy for me. Sigh, spending more RP. I should try to find out how much I've actually spent for realsies.

[Still Rampant Rabbit]

Finally a proper Renekton skin! Looking forward to that one.

[Nirawen]

Not a fan of the new Renekton skin, i'll stick with Galactic Renekton .

[Fencers]

What new skins? The hell are you guys even talking about...

edit: oh wow, youtube failed to load due to plugin crashing. i watched them now.

[Qauren]

QFT. I love corp mundo.

has anyone tried doing themed teams?

Pirate team ninja team medic team etc.

I think for pirates you have

GP, MF, trist, kat Swain (thanks to alaitoc for swain )

you have ninjas,

shen akali, ken, rammus

medics,

akali shen kennen

commando team

lux garen galio xin and jarvan

(ive done a full yordle team as well)

these games are quite fun it must be said, quite interesting in how the combos work quite well together.

[Alaitoc]

I think Bilgewater Swain probably counts as a pirate skin.
