I think the option under espionage is to go against Ionia, not the ourselves. Right? I think I hope Maybe? |

on a totally other note there should be an option further along to invade other islands... i mean if the shadow isles played their skills correctly we could get our military but up to 200 easily in the next few weeks which would vastly out pace any other faction. Assuming that our military was wiped out along with most of ionias and frels (lets be real frel had none to begin with) if we focus all our efforts on maxing our military we could essentially go 1 v 3 and win. we just have to ignore basically everything else |

I don't think we should go and pull a Bandle City. We can be aggressive with our military even with karthus, but at least with him we can build our faction, and not just slaughter everyone for giggles and more skeles. |

i would like it a better option if we could make them think that we invade some island, and then take stormhaven. That would be interesting to see If we manage to divide them we can easily win, and if we dig in in stormhaven they need more than the 3 of them to rout us out. (im assuming we can get some fortification bonus there.) And if we shut down the warpgate it will be hard for them to get reinforcements. (Or if we wanna go absolute psycho we could finaly gain an invasion point into valoran, that SI lacked so far, but i wouldnt recommend it, just saying that whatever "morality" we choose, getting stormhaven could be a nice boon. )

Meanwhile in Top Lane...

We are pretty set on our current path of glorious destruction and mayhem, it would be pointless to change course now. For champions I recommend we grab Vladimir (okay, this one is just for me), Cho'Gath (going to be pretty beastly with his new buffs) or Kog'Maw (does anyone here even play Koggles?). In all seriousness, I don't feel like we need any other champion other than potentially Kog'Maw, our roster is pretty well rounded right now and none of these available champs fill the few holes we have. Also don't vote Warwick, he was hit really hard with patch 4.21 (w, ult, devourer nerfs). Relations wise we don't need to actively avoid anyone (except maybe Demacia), and I would encourage relations with Noxus, Zaun, and assisting the crazy bird man with his exploits. Let's focus our espionage (sneaking into the institute), politics, and commerce on finally finishing Night Terrors, our espionage stat is very meh so I would doubt we would get far infiltrating other factions. Finally, every other faction has made it abundantly clear that they do not want to be friends with us, we can get payback eventually but not at a delicate time like this. |

if we assist azir we shouldnt pull towards zaun&noxus to hard. I think we should deal with everyone as necessary |

Avoid Demacia, buddy buddy with Noxus and Zaun, deal with the others as necessary. We should max out research but keep our spies home. Aatrox is our best, if only hope for getting anything else out of the arc. Sion, Cho'gath, Vel'koz and Kog'maw ate the ones we need (those Warwick nerfs are no joke) but don't sacrifice research for them. |

i can understand that we don't realy care about everyone's opinion about us anymore, and i can understand why everyone wants to go pure carnage (even if i think we just limit our self more and more to one path when we can have lot better options with karthus as a leader while loosing not much of our hitting power considering, i dont think the full agressive option will give us more than 10 or so military), but we shouldn't go against our own ideals by associating ourselves with the void. We are working to attain immortality and eternity in a sense, while they just destroy everything, and sion and vlad is still good champions to pick up (i would say ww too but if he is realy getting nerfed hard i dont know.) I wonder what the krocyan rewards give us. Will it depend on what leader we pick? Edited by StormRevolver, Dec 10 2014, 07:48 AM.

Oh Shadow Isles... I'm almost glad I was too distracted by work and real-life to watch you nearly destroy yourselves. I'll drop my vote in, but most of these come from thick meat headed Zaunites who just wanna be bad at any cost. Hopefully the minority can sway votes for once. |

I play Koggles. I'm actually passable with him, weirdly enough. Also, I'm for dealing with everyone except Demacia. 'Cause they suck. Also, I wanna help Azir because Shurima. And all other arguments are invalid. Also, I'm all for a BC approach, because no one knows it yet, but we are the bomb.

Forget Bandle City will start with Zero Favor, have you seen how horribly they fucked up with Nefara and how stupid they were to attack Zaun, and later how they messed up and well Full Aggro despite having ONE MILITARY UNIT at the end of the arc? Bandle City is just an accident waiting to happen and we would do best to avoid them when that happens. Edited by Kaynunot, Dec 10 2014, 11:19 AM.

I say we deal with BC as necassary, but work closely with the Zaunite/Noxian Imperium. Neither of them care what we do with our populations or if we subjugate or slaughter, especially Noxus. They'll probably help us with the raping and pillaging part we never quite got down. |

Helping azir could benefit us greatly especially if he became an ally. With his type of resurrection type magic maybe he could show us a new type of necromancy that no one's ever seen before. Btw I advocate karthus as leader just cause im a karthus groupie but also because as you all know I look more long term with SI then short term and would like to see SI become a proper undead faction and not just champions leading the dead. But regardless I will also support noxus and zaun cause swain be like DEATH to DEMACIA and I can totally get behind that. Not to mention Zaun has them DEATH RAYS. As for champ pickups I think either WW or Vlad and no void creatures we have had enough of that to last us a lifetime. As for espionage I think keeping people home is the best idea simply because I don't think our chances of success are high and because out of all the factions I think we have the most secrets to guard. |

Warwick has absolutely masdive nerfs incoming Silencer, I really have to advise against taking him. Vlad is also really lackluster as his early game will be crushed by any competant poke or kill lane. If we must take a non-void Champion let it be Sion to add AD and more lockdown to teamfights. |

See this is why your good to have around because when it comes to getting buffed and nerfed I never keep up on any of that. If thats the case im fine with picking up cho as long as we don't go discord because I ain't about that void life homie. I guess we could also take kog since most people probably prefer him over kalista right now. |

Actually it was PONCHOGRENADE who mentioned Warwick Nerfs incoming in 4.21 in the last page, I just looked it up on my own. Devourer base is getting a 15 damage nerf, ww ult is losing 50 damage at rank 1, Challenging Smite is down to 3 seconds from 6, and overall he's losing a LOT of damage. Those are not the only nerfs but they are the ones that immediately come to mind. If we do for some reason grab him, remember his rotation is auto-q-challenging smite-r-auto at the end of ult-q-w Edited by Kaynunot, Dec 10 2014, 12:06 PM.

TL;DR go full discord, grab some tank champ, and ally with Noxus and Zaun. Improve our research capabilities. I think that if we are going to get really good at conquering people, I think we should go full discord. It would easily be best way to quickly gain back the military that we lost, and honestly I'm not worried about the other factions picking up Kassadin, because we could really use kog or cho, one because more people can use him than kalista (for now at least) and cho would add some desperately needed tank to our comps. I will admit that once we can get morde back we will have a little more in the matter of defensive options, but I don't know how popular tank morde is since I don't play him. If we really don't want a Void presence (which the thought of I scoff at) we should pick up sion, and make sure that we ally with noxus, since otherwise that would just be confusing. Over all I think that we should be allying with Noxus and Zaun, since they do share the closest ideology to us. There are some differences, but even if we just wandered around behind them our population would grow just from picking up their casualties. Also getting in with Zaun could help us with our pathetic research stat, since the fact that our mages can barely finish one print is horrible, and needs to be addressed.
