Well I only play LoL so here we go:

Obviously you have never witnessed the legendary AD Soraka. So OP.
AD Soraka? I once got owned by an AP Soraka mid, though that is only because I cannot play Akali to save my life...

AD Soraka sounds like something Siv HD would come up with... Not that it definitely wouldn't work, i've seen someone go on about how his AD Sona is complete badassery and had to tone out his endless match history stats that I couldn't be bothered to verify.

To be fair AD Sona might work with her double damage passive but she is way better actually supporting the carry and y'know warding the map and shiz.

Cuz she's a Support... XD

Remember:

Buy a ward.

Stop a gank.

Save a life.

Wards.

Anyone with crazy burst damage, using Lina with a Scepter and you can combo down an enemy in no time. And her stun can trap an entire team, saves a life during late stage team fights.

I'll play anybody though, I'm always open to a change in gameplay. But my favourite has got to be a Nuker, or an Assasin character. Like Bounty Hunter and Shaco...you're a fool if you place no wards and you're versing a stealth character. You will die

I love playing Singed although I swear everytime I pick him the enemy counterpicks me with Teemo, even in blind pick. **** Teemo! I hate that damn hamster. Although I love playing against Teemo when I am Veigar, all of dat burst.

So since you play Sona I have to ask, what are her strengths?
I usually play Taric support and sometimes Shen support but I was looking to pick another one up and I do have her unlocked. She has never looked that great to me but I suspect it's because I play against bad ones. I had her in Aram once and did alright, but that was 2v2 aram so yeah.....

How do you build her and what skills do you focus on maxing? I want to try picking her up but am unsure how to proceed with her.

I play solo top.
95% of the time, I also play Swain.
To the point where I'm starting to feel bad for my enemy when I see he's playing one of the really commonly picked melee champions for solo top.

God Swain shits on melee characters.

I play a few different Heroes at the moment. I play Alistar, Cho'gath, Ashe, Fiddlesticks and Nunu. Eating people as Cho'Gath, using Alistar's headbutt to throw enemies into my turret and hitting people with Nunu's Ult gives me endless amusement.

Her strengths are giving nearly endless sustain in lane with her W being smaller but still significant heals very often, having a super long range poke ability for harassment a decent speed buff but I max that last because it's the least important.

Her ult is arguably the most game changing Support ult in the game. It's a 2 second stun with pretty good damage that fires in a short range cone. You fire that into a full enemy team and you've already won the teamfight if your team knows wtf is going on.

Fun fact: There is no way to reduce the duration of that stun, yes even you Irelia with MT. It's 2 seconds of forced dancing so it goes through a loophole in that it isn't technically a stun in the traditional sense.

I take a point in everything starting with Q then W then E put an extra 1 or 2 into W at 4/5 to beef up your heals then max Q, finish W then E.

I like to rush a Philo Stone just for the mana regen and the extra gold then get a Heart of Gold if you plan on getting Omen. Then get Boots of Swiftness because you don't need any of those effects on the other boots.

I tend to rush She-Shre-Shrel *sigh* Shurelya's Reverie [sub]thanks Google[/sub] for the health and the amazing speed boost active that stacks with your E for epic escape/chasing powers

Then just pick and choose random support items like Aegis for armour, Abyssal Sceptre for Magic Resist/Magic Pen

Oh I take those masteries that gives you 515 gold at the start of the game so I can get my Faerie Charm, a stack of wards, a smaller stack of Vision Wards to fuck with the enemy Support and a mana potion that I may or may not use XD

Her passive needs a mention, it's what gives her such hilarious ultility. Basically the last ability your used gives her a Aura that increases certain stats for you and people around you. E.g. W is armour and magic res, Q is AP, E is more movement speed.

The Aura stays until your use a different ability then the Aura switches. Every three ability uses you gain a Power Chord which empowers your next autoattack depending on which Aura you have active.

Blue is double damage, this is what gives her that deceptively good burst, Green is a percentage damage reduction on their attacks for about 4 seconds on whoever you hit with it (AD Carry pls) and Purple is a slow.

I use Blue most often just to destroy that pesky AD Carry in the laning phase.

I love an Ashe/Sona lane. As soon as your both hit 6 you can chain your ults together for impossibly long stuns!

I hate playing other Supports when I can't play Sona for whatever reason.

"See, if I was playing Sona right now we'd be winning this lane -_-"

Fuckin' hate Soraka man... She's so bad!

Ok thanks for the advice. I usaully delay Shurelya's Reverie due to me alway's forgetting to use it's active but i'll give it a try. I'll practice a bit tonight and hopefully manage to not fail too much.(I am doomed to fail terribly)

I never really tried playing Soraka other than once in a bot game in free week and she seemed so meh. She is a pain to fight due to all of those heals and the silence however I found her kinda lacking to play with. Other than those heals there isn't much she can do in a confrontation from what I have seen, sure the silence is great but I would much prefer Taric or Shen when the enemy engages.

Depends on the MOBA, I guess, since my tastes seem to vary depending on the strategies of the MOBA...

League of Legends- Tanky-DPS. If it supports Atmogs, I probably like it, but I <3 Jax and Skarner the most.

Legends of Eternity- Rangers. I made grown men cry with my Dark Hunter play.

Age of Myths- Super Heavy. Gigas and Minotaur were considered bad picks, until people saw my amazing Mino combos and bank shot rock tosses with Gigas.

Battleships- Trader. Supporting people with gold saturation is fun! Gotta love that 10 minute super ship while everyone is still on tier two ships.

Monday Night Combat- Commando. Especially Captain Spark for some odd reason, since I really haven't played much of the game and he's apparently very difficult.

There have been a lot more MOBAs but they start the get extremely obscure and half finished after this list. Still, my style does vary significantly from ranged DPS to super tank, so I'm not sure what I love the most.

I usually play AD carry. Recently got into the revamped Twitch, and enjoying the new expunge.

However, my first love was AD Sion. PEOPLE! you need to play him with phantom dancer(s), infinity edge and bloodthirsters and then see how much he can tear teams apart. Every time I see him played AP I shed a little tear at their ignorance.

I can play any role. My favorite is AD carry, which I play in our 5v5 ranked team. My favorite champ for that spot is probably Graves, but I like Ashe alot too.

Preferably a mobile hero with the ability to set up kills. Not necessarily a ganker -- I'm a pretty darn good warder and can play support rather well -- but something that can jump around and make sure that people from the other team die. The absolute favorites are probably Witch Slayer and Wretched Hag from HoN(they're ports of Lion and Queen of Pain from DotA), although I'm starting to take a liking of Alistar and LeBlanc in LoL as well. Sadly I consider LoL to be a far weaker game overall, which stops the two latter ones from getting higher on the list :(

Only Moba I play is LoL.
I have a mix of what I play, but usually not AD ranged.
But Id prefer 'Bruisers'

If Im Ap, My Main is Lux. (Giant laser every 24seconds? Yes please) Or ill use Ziggs or Twisted Fate.

Then if we need Tanks or Melee, Ill play Garen, Jax, Jayce, Mundo, or Fiora.

Usually I like playing an active carry style role, ganking when I can. Templar Assassin, Phantom Assassin, Storm Spirit, and Bounty Hunter are my favorites for the role, although I also love me some Exort build Invoker. Sun Strike, HOOOOO!

League is really the only MOBA I play.
I like just about every category except for AD carries (minus a few).
Lately I've found I prefer being a jungler to laning, and have really enjoyed Nocturne.
Ziggs is my mid (Where'd that bomb go). Zilean's my support of choice. I like playing as Singed when I have to play tank.
Good ol' Singed. We don't quite know what the hell you're supposed to be, but we do know you don't die and leave a trail of tears behind you.
Team fight?
Alt, and run circles around the enemy. I'm helping!
Dealing damage to me? Alt and a health pot, 100+ health regen.
Now, if the Singeds I play with would just stop flinging their tanks into the carries...

Well My favourite guys in LoL are Veigar,Warwick,Kayle and Maoakai and they don't really share much in common at all : \

I guess I like Veigar most out of them, so Intelect (glass cannons are always fun)

I've not played DoTA but my line up for League champs usually goes with

Singed, Gangplank, Brand, Gragas and I play a mean Cho'Gath or Nunu


I like Singed mainly for his unparalleled team fighting Crowd Control abilities flinging pure speed and health regen and area of effect damage makes him spot on for herding champs as fling makes good use of relocating champions, particularly the AP or AD carries...

He was literally one of the first champions I ever bought. I stopped playing him for a while, but I recently picked him back up and everything just clicked this time around. One of my most played and highest win percentages now.
