How to play Irelia

I like to start off with a dorans shield and a health potion. Also going down whichever lane has blue closest. Skill order should be R>W>E>Q I dont really pick up my first level of Q until 5 unless I'm feeling aggressive and know I can use it to gank. Full item build is Merc Treads, Bloodrazor, Starks, Frozen Mallet, Banshee, Bloodthirster. Or whatever situational item you would like to have on her. Your place is at the back of the line assiting the main squad. You are one of the best juke. Juke like your life depended on it. As for glyphs Armor pen reds, attack speed yellows, crd blues, your favorite quints whatever they may be. 21/0/9 masters skipping over lethality.  All in all play defensive and be careful. Your not the big damage ganker like or an Auto Attacker. I know this is a rather sucky guide but it's what I'm going around with.

How To Play Irelia

Just be cautious and opportunistic like every other middle-of-the-road assassin that Season 1 has been flooded with.

What's that? You solo queued onto a team with two melee, two ranged and a tank with an even AP / AD split? We can't possibly have that, let's give you two AFKers from the start, one of which comes back ten minutes in and feeds thinking he's going to make up for the retarded start.

Step 1, buy Bandito Fiddlesticks skin.
Step 2, enter jungle.
Step 3, there were no survivors.

Tanking Fiddlesticks is pretty much 100% superior to AP Fiddlesticks in every way, for those who haven't played around with him much.  Even before I completed my Sunfire Cape, their Warwick couldn't even try to touch me one on one thanks to Drain.  By the time I had a full complement of Rod of Ages, Sunfire Cape, Spirit Visage, Sorc Boots, and Zhonya's Ring I could drain faster than any given one or two of them could damage me down.  The only real thing about Tanking Fiddlesticks is he is incredibly golem hungry, but you should have golem as much as possible with Fiddle anyway for your ult unless there is someone on your team who can genuinely use it more.

Also, for anyone who wants to learn how to jungle, there is pretty much no easier character than Fiddle.  He doesn't have a super strong level 4 gank, but he can punish overextenders with lizard slow, terrify, and drain, and if your lane has a stun or people who are on the ball it will be good enough for a kill.  At level 6, he can and should punish every single overextender every single time his ult is up.  Warwick is the easiest and generally strongest jungler for a team, but if you just want to learn, Fiddle is basically foolproof since you don't even need to buy armor items to start with thanks to drain, letting you start on a Rod of Ages or whatever else you want immediately.  And while you should pretty much always take Smite on a jungler for general speed, Fiddle doesn't need it, which can sometimes give you a safe start at golem since the enemy team won't automatically assume you're jungling.

But as always with jungling, follow the golden rule; if you're not ganking or countering their jungler into a standstill, then you're pretty much useless.

Actually, if you continue to play nothing but Morgana, you'll get to the point where you win more often because you are Morgana!

See also: Janna, Sona, Taric, Soraka, any real tank.

I was actually considering grabbing Janna or Soraka since i have enough funbux. I seem to like supporty dudes, but in part this may be because i am worthless at the game and being commanded to follow someone around and put shields on them suits me!

Uh i guess what i meant to say is "is that a good idea"

Playing Janna will literally make you win more often for no reason other than Janna's support is that good. Saving idiots and baby-sitting rambos so they become fed carries instead of dead feeders is the stuff solo queue wins are made of. You know how a team in TF2 without a medic is perpetually at 2/3 health vs a team with dedicated medics? Same idea.

Soraka is a shittier Janna but that's just technical details and fun is fun and 450 is joke fun bux, come back when you like one of the 6300s that gets a spot on the weekly rotation.

This is also why I like to play tanks because you can either be sad that you didn't have a guy who knows how to initiate a team fight or you can run around doing slam-dunks with assists off corpses.

Sadly whenever I play Janna, I should have been playing a carry, because if Joxam or someone plays tank we are left with 3 people who don't know what the fuck they are doing.

What I am saying is that I have only won like two games as Janna. Those two wins were probably when I thought Janna was a carry and I got 15 kills.

Norondor is actually pretty good at LoL.  We lost our first two games horribly because Moctobot could not figure out how to work his computer, but even with three dedicated feeders on our team he managed to stay farmed up and only die a couple times.

If you get Soraka here is the best way to win when you are on a decent team:

Rush Mejai's Soulstealer
Play defensively and watch the rest of your team as much as possible
Use your global heal the instant before anyone on your team is about to get a kill to give yourself a free assist
20 Stacks

of course if your team is hanging on by the skin of their teeth i guess you could use your ult to save people instead

i guess

Do not listen to this. A good Soraka is a valuable asset.

Nope.

I'm not saying she's not OK. I'm just saying she's not Janna, or lux.

Lux is one of those character who will inevitably be godawful on your own team and an insane carry on the enemy team, every single time.

Here's how to win as any support with little to no effort. At least before this most recent patch.

Play Sona.

Sona will always be great simply because of her ult.
