Ah fun! I have been video card shopping since I have the same cards from Demigod :) Even if everything else is much newer. Was certainly thinking of a 2k or 4k monitor... any tips, etc?
S[quote] including what you are calling 101 stuff. [/quote] My point was not that what you're saying is wrong...and you pointed out that part of your relevation is, well, you don't play a lot of solo lanes :) But i massively prefer to play Solo lanes. i guess you sort of have "goals", right, and WHAT those goals are is very simple (CS well, win lane, win teamfights, maintain and deny vision control, control objectives). HOW you do things
Thunder had a VERY different original post + you changed from "Gnar's maintains the same power level" to "lost some of the power he had before". Your edit makes my post ... useless since we are agreeing with each other. i want to say one of the reasons that there's not a lot to discuss with your first two post is that they are sort of... tautologies. You should: 1. Win your lane 2. Win all the teamfights While that's a great way to act
[quote] bleh - i'll comment then bugger off. I don't give a fug about semantics. Gnar is maintains the same power he had before, though the window is more limited requiring more skillful play to use it properly. That's my take. [/quote] Since the terror of 4.17 Gnarven ... plz don't say he has the same power level. He
[quote] gnar skill cap simply has gone up due to the nerfs [/quote] Well that's false. You see, "cap" can stand for one of two things: 1. Capacity 2. Cap (as in the top of a tube or a gallon of milk) Note that both of these mean the same thing: ones you maximize a particular champions "skill capacity" any additional skill you acquire just... overflows. You can't fit any more skill. It's a limited.
That's the wrong way to test if MF's Q is an AA reset (which i'm pretty sure it is) Both of you should run 0 AS quints/masteries and fuck around in bots for a bit so that you can buy a Frozen Heart + Warden's Mail. Then, attack-move-click eachother from out of range. ONE of you should issue a Q command immediately after AAing. The other shouldn't. If Q is an AA reset then both MFs then the 2nd MF should attack slightly faster with he
[quote] Ah - I think that makes sense. Let's take this further though. Is the animation itself sped up to correspond with attack speed? I THINK so... think so... at any rate, I agree - I was incorrect re: the added damage - its increased damage potential based on mobility/positioning only. [/quote] Yes, wind-up and wind-down animations are reduced by AS (how much a per-champ basis and i know a few times Riot has balanced around it - my under
[quote] Anyway, compare a cait that cancels their animation to a cait that does not. 1 is stationary and lands 1 shot every 4 seconds. The other has potential to land 1 shot every 2 seconds or so. Obviously, the person canceling the AA animation has high damage potential, not to mention a huge positioning advantage. [/quote] This is not true... The cooldown of your autoattack starts from the moment your projectile is spawned and you are unable t
If you do make a client, probably want to: Make sure works for different regions and figure out what you will do about Riot IP changes (release an update? Or host a json file on github or a private server, w.e that you manage. Assuming the core of the program is just the bat you probably don't need a code review :) But I can check out whatever you give me, even if just to beta test right before releasing to make sure it installs.
[quote]OK - so apparently there was some sort of discussion re: it sucking to be against someone that is good at the game that scripts vs someone that is trash that scripts. And that's obviously not a logical conclusion or it sounded like I didn't understand that I guess[/quote] Here is a one-dimensional diagram of players "true" skill (note that this is
Did you see the one about the rager bronze guy scripting Katarina? How he just wanted to "relax" and play rank, make people rage with scripts. He went from Bronze (low Silver?) to Plat in like 2 week, so scripts are very effective, even if you are "awful". Remember that there are two forms of skill: micro and macro. All players have better relative micro OR macro compared to other players of their "true" skill. If you have both, that means that you're just ... not at your tr
My predictions of Ranked Teambuilder is as follows (assuming that Ranked Teambulider is a role-selection, not a champ-selection): 1. Average level of skill will be somewhat higher in Teambuilder. People like Cow/Karl will actually be getting their roles/champs every time. This will somewhat keep "one-trick Malazhars" from "ruining" the "sacredness" of higher ranks. However, the longer queue times for popular roles will also mean a slower climb (unless you get larger LP rewards)
On the other hand, taking the -10% damage from critical strikes mastery as a tank support pretty strongly negates that advantage ;) Of course, you should certainly run at least 1 red/blue crit glyph on Ashe always just for the Frenzy.
Ardent Censure does work on Alistar + minions at the moment. There's just a huge difference between "just" +25% AS and +30% AS and +30 magic damage... i fully expect that to get fixed though. good catch by Thunder in any case. @Cow: When are you taking the GRE? Seems awfully late since you have to go thru your application process? i had to have my GRE done by April 1st. Best of luck in any case. Also fuck
i agree with your evaluation of his runes: there is little/no reason to run ArPen on Twitch given his dependency on autoattacking to stack Expunge + the fact a bunch of his early game damage comes from true damage. Maybe he is really focused on level 2 kills with a 5-stack expunge alongside a CC-heavy support? However, it could be a metagame decision: with the popularity of Cinderhulk + Thornmail, earlier Armor Pen is really important, and extra AS just ends up killing you fast
PSA failing is why you use LSA or SVD right? If Riot was really determined they could easily train a neural net. One thing I did read was that less played rolls tend to get more points than more played roles since people good at support are more standard deviations out? But "anyone" can get two pentakills on Akali and thus deserves an A- (voyboy last night)
Pretty sure they have plenty of computer scientists who understand basic linear algebra and matrices just fine :P More likely the issue is that the people who designed the system were psychologists and marketers.
i dunno, i think it'd be cool to have Velkoz, Anivia and Gnar badges ;) Not to mention mastery badges "might" be one of the best ways to make your teammates relax when you do stuff like Quinn top or Shaco jungle.
Quinn? Try Gnar. Has all the stats he wants for both of his forms. And he already goes Brutalized in 1v1 AD lanes. Will probably be enough to push him back to 50% in soloq. Surely will help Quinn too though. Which is exciting for me at least. Item will probably be needed tho :( UNLESS Riot intends to balance AD Casters against Cinderhulk with this item and allow Smite top to stick around for certain champs.
Part of the "problem" you're going to have is what one guy dubbed the "Quint Quotient". ( http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs/a-different-view/oldmaneyebrows/21256-building-rune-pages-through-the-use-of-a-qq-quint ). You already know some of this, so this might be useless rambling but... that is mostly what i do anyway :) What makes AP or AS
[quote] Ok fine, there might be some niche situations with ideal matchups where it might be worth a shot. But you would have to know the other 3/4 of the 2v2 matchup. [/quote] Morg isn't a niche pick - you can always use "Krepo" runes/masteries and change them to GMD once you see both teams entirely.
[quote] Or, lets look at it another way. Let's all imagine that pacov was playing ADC in SoloQ and his support said to him before the game: "Hey, I'm going to play a really greedy build that has a decent chance of causing you to lose out early because we can't 2v2 under any circumstance early on. But don't worry, the support will be getting more gold over the course of the game". Do you think that pacov would have a positive reaction to that
