Bought and playing Nocturne, my skill with Katarina greatly helps me play him well. Few more matches I'll find out a decent build and start pentakilling everyone!
The only real problem I have is his ult, I'm still trying to get into the habit of pressing R again to launch at someone in range.
How big are you guys' screen? Mine is 17 inch, I thought "hey, lets try this game". Absolutely unplayable because of a ridiculously small HUD, and the HUD size option is maxed right away. All that in 1024x768.

Yeah, after forcing myself through it you're right, you don't really need to see that clearly. Its still annoying but you can live with it, I guess.
I have yet to try a match that is not against bots, though. Feel like I'm just going to meet a gigantic bunch of assholes.
So I have to ask. How is the community?
As with any online game you will find the douchebags eventually. But the community overall is pretty lax (in-game as I haven't been in any channels) and well quiet...
I'd say it is way better that the DotA community you find in WC3
i find the community is quite nice. every few games you get a douche who talks crap but i find actions speak louder so just pummel him :). as with every gaming community, some people just are wankers. but for every wanker there is 2 nice people ready to play and help you :). Bigtimmy22, if u you need any help hit me up
just got 6300 IP, Karthus or Vlad? (this is rare for me lolz)
I play tons o' league, big on Nocturne, Anivia, Shen, Malphite, Malzahar, bunch of others.
Also on the Brand debate, I think the reason people think he's OP is that he's kinda new and people are already doing cool things with him. For my money I think it's just 'cause people tend to understand how to use strong AP carries like him so he's easy to pick up and use well early. In comparison Anivia (whom I <3) is capable of a much higher damage output but has been around long enough that people are used to her, and know her weaknesses.
League is quite well balanced IMO, there are no straight up garbage champions that aren't at least decent in practiced hands, and very few that are un-debatably more powerful than the rest.
Anivia is very much a nuker, it's just that her nukes are difficult to execute because of the whole chilled->double deal. But skilled players can hit with both parts of the ice ball and then land the freezing wind deal pretty consistently, and that combo on a near-max or max build Anivia is ~2500 damage. I one shot (well two shot, one shot combo ) people with that a LOT.
On top of this, if you grab lich bane, the autoattack you can throw into this combo adds another ~900 damage, for a 3.4k burst. Even with 100MR that will kill many squishies.
Brand is not capable of a 3.4k rotation that I've seen lol.
And then on top of that Anivia's got her awesome slow DOT AOE and super cool wall :sleep: Such a great champ.
Edit: Also, you thought Lee Sin is OP? He seemed pretty weak to me, I was sad I bought him D: Not like Nocturne, the rape-ghost of the jungle <3
If Brand hits every ability including his ult (with the max bounces(3), a ridiculous feat and which would pretty much require him hitting the stun, making it even more difficult) with 1000AP, he can deal ~4000 damage (calculated). That's the maximum insanely-unlikely scenario which is never going to happen, and burns your ult.
In contrast, Anivia's two-shot combo with her LB auto, and dropping her AOE for even just one hit, at 1000AP, is ~4200. This is going to happen all the time in games. This burns no long cooldowns (like 8 seconds on the longest one), is much easier to pull of, and can and will happen many times in a given game. Plus, after the first hit it's guaranteed.
Lich Bane is amazing on Anivia because she has one of the longest auto-attack ranges in the game, and nearly always fires one automatically during her normal spell rotation. It's a free 800-1k damage guaranteed hit.
Anivia's skillshot may be slower than most, but at medium range with it's wide path, a good Anivia will nearly always hit it. The blast radius is quite large. Plus, she fires into crowds during teamfights, and the stun is AOE. She can then choose a target and deal incredible burst damage, renewable in 8 seconds or less.
PLUS, she's got a wall and an infinite-duration AOE damage/slow along with her stun, making her great at crowd control. Brand has pretty much zero CC.
Never, ever buy a Lich Bane on anyone but Kassadin, Nidalee and a few others I've forgotten. You should never be in range so that you can autoattack if you're playing an AP champion.
see i find that so wrong. Altho its not it my build for lux, it would work awesome for her.
Its not in my build for Ryze either but if games lasted long enough if prob build it after void. Many people think ryze should be at range but a dude i play with suggest i be much more in your face with him and its awesome! (he has really good range on abilities so many stay as far back as they can).
On the topic of Brand, hes just an OP version of ryze. he has a dot, he hits harder, and he stuns rather than snares! mad op!
now that you talk about anivia i kinda wana have a go heh
Ryze doesn't offer the damage he should late game, runs out of items to boost his damage(cause he scales with mana not AP). Early and mid hes insane, i play him more as a tank as every1 is happy 2 smash the caster who stands out in front(works pretty good with frozen heart, banshees etc.)
Yea i think it sucks they will go after the person doing the most dps rather than the tank who starts the fight. But oh well lol.
