@ Swan I've been doing it all wrong. Like... all of it. - I've played Support a lot this season. And most of the time I've played LoL, I've been a Support main. - I've Duo'd quite a bit. My current Duo partner likes to play Tankmo Top. (sigh) - Lee Sin used to be one of my main Junglers. - I get sucked into arguments with trolls easily. - I have no access to Shaq Soda. I'm going t
[quote who="pacov" reply="639" id="3499227"] Don't really care. Just talkin. [/quote] When you're talking about researching trends and win % as something that's fun for you, that's great and more power to you. We all have our different ways of having fun in that way. Some people like to specialize or "main" one champ and play that champ every chance they get, some people specialize in a
Re: Plat Swan CONGRATS!!! Re: Picking What You Love vs Trying To Pick Secret OP Let's be fair, Pacov's Ranked record with Nunu speaks for itself and the champ is one of a kind in a jungle that's had almost nothing but DPS all season. Dah Meta can shift which makes champs get better or worse without any changes. But... Nunu is a champ Pacov used to play and one that's not too mechanically difficult to pick back up aga
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="615" id="3498671"] TBH, Thornmail is actually really really good right now - far stronger than its been historically. Not against true-damage feral-flare Yi but... [/quote] That's actually really good to know. But please don't tell that to the Bronzies. They believe that if a Yi gets slightly ahead... even if we have a ton of tools to deal with him including my much more fed Swain or Irelia... then everyone on the t
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="609" id="3498638"] Well, one thing that has to be realized is that running all AD teams isn't a substantial disadvantage right now. [/quote] I'd agree to an extent, but would argue that it does matter a little and that would vary at different levels of play. Bronzies telling their team to build Thornmail to counter the fed Yi? Yeah... good luck with that. But I'm not convinced that building armor doesn't
[quote who="pacov" reply="605" id="3498618"] I still see yasuo as a top tier pick due to carry potential, but there's actually quite a few things going on here. 1 - his ban rate is through the roof at 72%. This means that public perception of him is that he's OP. The kicker, when folks actually do get to play him, his win rate is at 50%... which generally indicates a balanced champ. [/quote] </p
I watched Swan play with him one night on Dadyrus' stream. He played Rammus and counterjungled DEEP constantly. Then he complained about his team not backing him up by doing damage when he just blazed away and left them far behind. Then he got mad cause all the people he fed started doing well, and got mad at all the people who lost their lanes... even though they hadn't really. Then he got so mad at his team that he got off TS3. So pretty much I'd
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="492" id="3491812"]We have some people on our current 5's team roster I wouldn't mind replacing [/quote] Ahhh! I just got back on the team and you're going to kick me off again? I would think that comedy that comes from Pacov's hatred of me playing Thresh with him bot lane would alone be worth having me on the team.
Ehhhh... If you had a totally awesome Tom Servo avatar that would be one thing... but... yeah... Crow? Eh... maybe... You have the same IGN Raynman? Mine's spelled a little different, it's Thundercleese. Or Thündercles if you're somewhat new to the game and want to play with me and my Bronze buddies on a lower MMR account. Or maybe you're former pro top laner The Rainman and we'd need to play with your smurf account?
[quote who="pacov" reply="468" id="3490118"]Got carried by sy and push. My nasus was.... well... what my nasus is. Not super useful but somewhat fun. [/quote] Yeah, I'd definitely say that Ghost would be the better play from what I experienced. The only thing that saved you from dying during that one telegank was that I panicked and thought it was Sy coming down to kill us all. Had I realized that it was an early game jungle Nasus... It w
@ Pacov One thing you might not realize is that there are a lot of retired great players out there who have given up their spots at the top because they'd have to earn them again and aren't into it anymore. If all those Plat and Diamond players didn't lose their spots every season and have to earn them back, I think a lot of those people would just play a game or two a month to maintain their status instead of just not playing Ranked anymore. That means less ro
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="454" id="3489651"]Thunder has a few-hundred ranked games as well, but i know the past few months he's sort of regressed.[/quote] Yeah, I used to play Ranked because it was the best venue to challenge myself to get better but n ow I play because of a self destructive lag induced tilt spiral.
[quote who="pacov" reply="433" id="3488453"] re: thunders post - hey - whatever you find fun, bro. Hope you've been enjoying playing it up with you other pals, though. [/quote] We have a blast joking around and it is undeniably fun in a way to be the best player in the game, however the frustration with teammates in games that I play with my one Bronze IV buddy are not worth it sometimes. The other is getting really close to Silver so those games aren't n
@Cow n' the team Think I'm done with Ranked 5's. Been playing quite a bit on my smurf account and doing mostly Ranked games and some Normals with some lower level IRL friends along with also playing ARAMs more often along with some Teambuilder with MC folks. That has caused playing competitively with you guys to not be much fun any more for these reasons: - Trying to play as m
What Karl said. And... Try and be better about switching hats mid game. None of the old crew gives up on a games easily, so if we're fucking around it's because things are looking extremely grim. If we're going to lose, then at least the loudmouth Trynd needs to die first. If the other four people have essentially accepted our losery fate, try to get on board somehow? Doesn't mean we're not going to all put our try hard hats back on for th
I doubt that Riot is shooting for him to be viable in more than one lane with worlds coming up. Or wanting him to be more than just viable since this is the patch that it's going to be played on... I hope you are right. I've always seen those champs that are really good in more than one position/lane as way overpowered (people playing shitty picks for support and jungler don't count). Maybe I'm not thinking of a good example right now, but I can't
Corsair is good shit. I had a Razer mechanical but gave it away to a friend cause the keys felt too elevated and wobbly. Tried out a Corsair at Fry's and liked the feel a lot better.
Prophet Velan got dusted a minute after I drew him. Millhouse is at least so bad, he's swaggy. As the kids say. That Loatheb combo would be fun and if 47.4% of all decks are Zoolock right now, he could be pretty sweet. And as soon as I craft my Loremaster Cho, he can be the golden king of my ultimate troll deck. Loremaster, Millhouse, and King Mukla all in the same turn. Free nanas for everyone! Hmmmm. Re: Patch N
So I open a pack of cards in Hearthstone and check before I flip the cards what they are, cause I like to open the rarer ones last right? 2 Commons, Rare, Epic, and a Legendary. The Rare was dust, Epic was a Hunter card that I don't use in my "I have a thsseeeeecret!" deck. Oh well. But the Legendary! My first gold Legendary... and it was... wait for it... Millhouse. :(
Nah, I was just kidding around about the lag comment. Didn't take offense, just having fun pointing out that it could be taken the wrong way. Karl, will not be learning Junglegot as I will become the team's full time jungler and play Urgy exclusively... unless picked or banned.
Re: Lag Every once in a while I get a minor ping spike. We're talking a couple seconds at the most where my ping will go from the normal 95 to 150-200. This is compared to having things completely shut down and having the message pop up sometimes. It's still early so my fingers are crossed, but it looks good. If the neighbor tries to throttle me down again then I'll get my own line and let the other neighbors know the
Have you tried to mess around with your router's QoS? I hacked into the neighbor's router that we share internet (and pay half) with, and found that he put every priority to high besides gaming. So, the reason that I would get massive ping spikes was apparently because god forbid that someone loading up a porn video should have to wait an extra split second before Shaved Asian Invasion IV would start loading. I'm wondering right now how many games were ruined f
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="284" id="3480330"] Lets not all gang up on Pacov at the same time now! We have all had our moments give him a break.

As a friend, please let me know when you're not stoked on how I'm acting as you did right
