A number of us have US accounts (we have a few americans who play with us) but really only use these as backup. I have spent char packs on both side of the atlantic but just for time zone compatibility the EU does make sense :)

Don't do it in League of Legends. In your mouse settings bind the side buttons to D and F, and then they will work with LoL (or at least they should). It's basically the reverse of key binding :D

Rumble, The Mechanized Menace
  • Flamespitter: Rumble torches the area in front of him with his flamethrower dealing damage to all units in a cone for several seconds. While in the “Danger Zone,” this spell deals additional damage.

  • Junkyard Titan (Passive): Rumble's abilities generate heat. When Rumble is above 50 heat, he is in the "Danger Zone," causing all his basic spells to have additional effects. When Rumble reaches 100 heat he overheats, silencing himself and causing his physical attacks to deal additional magic damage. Rumble loses heat over time.

i bought him and played him twice im not really a fan tbh if i want an in your face magic user i'll take sion and do an AP build, you get a stun + a much better shield and your melee can still hurt.
 
Not seen rumble in last 5 games now.Has anybody tried the new alistar yet.I think i am going to try a tank as every game i join seems to be missing a tank.Who would you recomend for a tank beginner?
 
New GP is still incredibly weak, there is no reason to pick him up now that deny has been removed. Although that's pretty obvious to anyone.

He'll be getting more buffs, thankfully Riot know to take things slow (or at the very least have learn there lesson from before about not doing so).
 
The East Coast server issue on the EU servers will be solved in around a month or so. New hardware has been ordered for the EU base that will see the East Coast servers no longer utilised for games. They may still be used for chat overspill, but no one should have an issue with that.

Kieves, if you want to learn a tanky class then the strongest ones right now are: Renekton, Singed, Amumu, Cho'Gath, Jarvan IV, Irelia, Shen and Alistar. Not all of them are pure tanks, but all of them should be built around tanky items. Most of them ought to be solo top, Irelia/Jarvan/Amumu are viable junglers and Shen/Alistar can also jungle (it's just not the best).

I wouldn't say any of them is any harder to play than the other, they all have a different array of skills with varying strengths and weaknesses. Pick one you like the sound of and do some research on how they are played in high level play, then have some fun. It generally takes from 10-20 games to get a decent grasp of any new champion you play.

Regarding the new Gangplank, he's not that bad, needs to be built more tanky now. It's all about fitting him into the right team composition. Any melee champion is particularly vulnerable if not in the right set up.

have you ever played GP?
2x phantom dancers , infinity edge ,2x blood thirster , attack speed boots + all crit dmg runes.
only tyrn is a problem because of his util but you can outrun him with the new morale buff thing using that build.

casters are ruined by parrley and instantly want to run as soon as they lose 60-70% of there health in one long range shot

Way to go listing items you will never have enough gold to buy. You could say any champ with the above items would own, although with no hp/resistance your going to die before you get within shooting distance of Parrley in team fights!

p.s, attack speed boots? haha! Also you'll have no armor pen/Ghost Blade??

seriously have you ever played him? with parrley its easy to farm gold on GP he makes money faster than any other champ in the game
Extra Gold: 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12

12 extra gold at lvl5 nothing to be sniffed at thats almost half as much as a minion kill gives you and it adds up very fast its also the first ability you want to skill up anyway as a parrley crit hurts like hell from early game all the way to end game.

you can knock it all you want you have obviously never tried it

Yes as I use to main crit plank. For a start, you'd run out of mana without any mana runes/items early game. Meaning you can only parrley a couple of times per a wave, although yes with a high early game crit chance which is pointless if your not pushing the other champs. You drop the 5g/10sec item early game with you not going for ghost blade late game which only slows your gold farm.

While your still not attacking the other 2 champs on your lane, who you should be really aiming for instead of creeps.

Oh and don't even mention getting blue on Plank early game to make up for you lack of mana, as it would be so much better on other champs/mid mage etc

Your build is still broken, as you will get killed before you get within range to hit the other teams carry if the other team as any number of stuns/slows (which all team should have at least 2/3). You have no armor pen, meaning for the cost of 700gold, they can cut your damage greatly.

And Arknor is back coming up with his usual Trust me have you ever played GP you obviously havent because because because...

GP is so easy to smash in team fights especially with your build he will go down soo fast. you would have to literally build a team around him which there are far better champs to do so. he is definately going to need some more love before he is a viable carry type.

So many better AD champs with more ultility then plank in his current form.
and if the other team let you get anywhere near the gold needed for your build then they have massively played crap.
