" Man - fuck blitzcrank. Still annoyed about that rubbish last night. Ah well. Both of those games we'd have been better off with any more standard supports." I learned that lesson a little while back. Blitz has OP invasion and late game initiation, but his laning phase is very counterable through champ selection and if you make him fall behind. Falling behind with any champ(s) in any lane is obviously bad, but nothing is worse than
" Also - f u thunder. I don't like going 15/2/X and then losing 2 games. Hate u." Ahhhh... so mean! Now I'm going to have to post this video I found of you, your wife, and KraziKarl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5mtY-yQBNM
I've had some experience with playing with new friends so I watched one of your games with him so I could give you some advice. -Trying to change your play is easier than trying to change the newer players. If you're playing optimally, but they're not... then you're not playing optimally if that makes sense? -Leona and Cait aren't the best pairing so don't expect too much. They're not the worst by any means, but Cait is poke Leona is kill. Leona wants to zone,
@Pacov Aside from what you mentioned, I can't think of anyone with really great single champ initiations. I mean, there are of course some mega-uber-god-tier initiations like having a Hecarim/Shyvvana with Orianna/Lulu combo... or just Lulu/Ori/Any Tank and hope the enemy Blitz or Singed does the work for you. Nades and I wanted to check out the saved stream of the in house game, but we couldn't find it. I'm assuming it wasn't recorded so we couldn't check your mini m
Yeah, they didn't want to give some of the whinier players of the game a reason to start bitching at the very start of the game. "They have a platinum player and we don't! GG, surrender at 20."
Right on Mauxe, those are all solid champs especially for starting out in their respective roles. Annie - She'll allow you to last hit cause of her Q's ability to refund mana. Most AP mids seem to be balanced around being given the blue buff which probably won't happen in your games for a while. It can be very difficult to last hit with an AP caster when you run out of mana cause of your weak auto-attack so Annie will be a great mid to learn. Ashe - She'll teach you
@Carbon Don't worry too much about who is supposedly not a good pick in this game. The sheep who will threaten to report you for playing jungle Yi one week, and then tell you that you have to play him the next when he becomes FOTM. Also its fantastic that you're making an effort to learn all the roles, especially jungler. There are a lot of specialized people out there who don't have realistic expectations of the support they can get from their jungler because they d
They're buffing Udyr and Talon. Talon is getting a bug fix that is acting as a buff, kinda like what happened with Rumble a while back so they have to adjust. Udyr... well, mo' shield is mo' bettah.
[quote who="pacov" reply="2170" id="3295946"] I had 1 game awhile back where I was adc with like 6-0-0 at 20 minutes and was really well farmed. A couple lanes were not doing well. 4 people, including my support, surrendered. GG before team fights even began. Fug them. [/quote] Yeah, that's frustrating. Sometimes it's not enough to convince someone that your team has a chance of winning because there are pla
No. There are now unique abilities that have names and you're not supposed to be able to stack them even though they're on different items. Apparently you can though in the case of runic bulwark and aegis. most of black cleavers abilities aren't unique, so you can stack them until the nerf.
Had my Hybrid Nidalee abuse ready to go last night but it didn't work out so well. Think the theory was sound, it's just that the Cho I was laning against was literally living an inch from my tower with two health bars the whole laning phase and I'd never get a gank. If I had Karl in that game he literally would have killed the Cho ten times in the laning phase, it was ridiculous... instead I'm getting dove by Cho and Kat all game long and watching them get away fr
Think you start with 525 and Sightstone is 700. Gotnades just put our entire team on his back playing Singed, so yeah I'd say the Tear changes are good for him... maybe too good. Unfortunately WW doesn't charge a Tear with his E but oh well. Holy crap. I just played two games and my mind feels completely hollowed out. If playing my number one champ in my number one roll is this hard, I don't know how long until I'm able to try new things. Trying to keep tr
I recommend the game, though there are some things that will always just feel wrong that Demigod did better. You get over it eventually. One downside of having such a well supported game like LoL is all the good names have been taken. Tracer Bullet, Captain Napalm, Stupendous Man, and Spaceman Spiff have long been taken.
@Karl Yeah, I was reading a good Kat guide the other day that said something about Cho being one of Kat's nastier counters. The guide said to request a lane swap if possible "cause you're gonna have a bad time unless bottom lane is willing to feed you easy kills and the enemy solo top tries to build MBR in an attempt to solo Baron." I'll try and find a link...
More ambient gold + "free" wards + more upgrades for Kage's + Pickpocket... I don't think I'll be getting pentakills when I play Sona, but I'm definitely looking forward to having more gold and being more of a factor than just having a great ultimate late game.
Yeah, Kayle's attacks turn her into a ranged champ temporarily. Not sure where I saw the "flag" comment... maybe in a dream? Or maybe it was someone asking whether GP could trigger Tiamat with Parley.
Not sure Kayle will have access to this item since she's a melee champ. I believe in a Q@A I was reading about Tiamat, they are looking into limiting the actual purchases of these items to champions they were meant for (Melee or Ranged) and also it was said that whether an attack is melee or ranged is not decided by the range itself but by a "flag" coded in the champ. So when Kayle activates her Flamey Sword of Doom, it actually might be a 525 range melee attack with splash...
" Out of curiosity, you don't think madred's bloodrazor is a good item for soloing baron?" I didn't notice any Baron soloing that game, so... I guess if your PvP dominance hadn't started evaporating coincidentally around the time you started sinking your money into that item I guess it would have been good?
Karl, how could you have had fail teamfights?! Your Udyr bought the third most expensive item in the game... the one they're removing for Season 3 for being way way too powerful. I don't know how you guys could have struggled when people on your team are buying super cost effective items like that.
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. It will take a little while for all the Jayce band-wagoners to realize that they have to find another uncounterable/ungankable champ to play every game. After they've moved on, the good Jayce players that pick him only when it's advantageous, will bring his win percentage back up IMO.
Amen to single terms! I had hoped for a lot better results after four years but he did inherit one hell of a mess. I heard one Republican pundit say "The country is a car and Obama drove it off a cliff! We're going to let him keep driving?!" More like he was in the passenger seat when Bush opened the door and jumped out right before the car went off the ravine. Also it seems like everyone's forgotten the "Rule Or Ruin" philosophy of the right wingers. For
" My official challenge to everyone reading this thread. Convince peter to create an AP rune page that is appropriate for most mages." So I thought I had a good opportunity to do this when Pete mentioned that he was bored with Malzahar and wanted to branch out to other champs and positions but expressed disappointment that things don't go well when he does. I tried to explain that maybe he had reached a level of Malz mastery that allowed him to do well wit
