Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

well worth it then if it gave you a job.

Exactly! If only all time-sinks had this kind of pay-off

 

[Shaya]

I'm more interested in how on earth you managed to beat Galio as Fizz.

I must be only playing bad fizzes.
W is god tier...

 

[Wave⁂]

You know what else is god tier? Chalice and Bulwark on Galio.

 

[Leacero]

started 2 wards and assorted pots, take w first and just last hit till 2. grab q and go in asap when galio q's. get in as many autos as possible. if he took e 2nd you take minimal dmg and he eats a lot. If he took the shield 2nd he will take like half dmg but you come out on top of the trade either way. zone him out hard while you can, push him out/ get kills early or you lose lane. Galio cant help but push and only farm with q-e after lvl 3 or 4, so as soon as he q's the minion wave you e/q to him. rush 1xdorans and a Sheen for the extra physical dmg against his MR stacking, if laning lasts long enough dont get a lich bane until after you get some Mag pen. Hybrid Penetration marks help a lot also. Fizz can all in galio post 6 fairly easily, but not until after he gets merc treads to avoid max dmg from Galio's ult. Its not all that hard of a match up if things go well for fizz in the first few levels. Although if Galio gets a bluebuff he will just push you to tower all day, so aggressive warding and coordinated invades on blue help a lot.

Galio is so much more Usefull in team fights however, so unless the Fizz player can get to the point where he can 1 shot the enemy adc right away, Galio still brought more to his team in the form of auras, cc and great initiation.

I still don't really see it. He shouldn't be using Q that early on waves especially vs a fizz, and bulwark is really strong even with 50% reduction. Do you know what the Galio maxed 2nd?

He maxed bulwark 2nd. Later levels I couldnt touch him with his shield up because I didnt have voidstaff yet. If galio tries to stay in melee range of the minions to last hit he is going to take a lot more harrass from fizz even sooner. As I said, if fizz doesn't go all in on galio at around 3 and push him out or get a kill he loses the lane. Galio has a much worst start, so until he at least gets chalice fizz has the advantage by a lot.

 

[Vyke]

I feel as if Galio could just shove the wave safely with his abilities, force fizz to farm under turret, and go back to buy his cheap chalice and not have to worry about anything ever.

 

[Life]

So I keep hearing about the champion free week, like, a day before it gets posted on the official site. Where does this come from?

 

[Raziek]

Korean League Wesbite IIRC. Or some Asian country, I forget which.

 

[Life]

Found it. Ryze, Nami, Yi, Leona, Cait, Udyr, Blitz, Kat, Ez, Malhazar. Had to google for the right site since na.leagueoflegends.com doesn't link to the Korean site but...

Reign of gaming usually has it fast, as well as a bunch of other stuff

 

[JTB]

currently in a huge rut, lost so many games over the past couple nights, some due to myself but mostly due to bad teams. probably going to take like a week break, but for those that might have been in my position, what else could in the mean time to get myself back up to par?

dream team

 

[JTB]

we definitely dont dream team enough

 

[Gova]

We dropped to Silver 2 because we don't Dream enough.

 

[HondaFoo]

USSR Dream Team 1992

 

[SuperBowser]

i called lux being a good mid a while ago.

my new prediction: mid ap teemo. people don't realise his absurd damage yet.

 

[ShroudedOne]

She was never at a point where she was bad, really. Just underplayed.

I don't see mid Teemo ever catching on/becoming FotM.

 

[Saki-]

AP Teemo mid Teemo has already come and gone though. Pre Shroom Nerf with Liandary was just stupid

 

[SuperBowser]

just wait for it. people made the same dismissive comments about lux.

ap teemo is a solid pick against a lot mids/junglers and works against a lot of team compositions. safe pick + ridiculous damage + mushrooms. and he's teemo!

 

[DallasPhat]

Lmfao why not play teemo top where he already shut down a majority of the tops... Oh wait they already play him top... Hmmm

 

[HondaFoo]

Uh oh SuperBowser with that next level ****, please tell us your next revelation oh mighty one

 

[Asdioh]

Jungle Sejuani and Trundle
calling it now

 

[SuperBowser]

why so angry?

couple of reasons:

personally i think teemo's a safer pick in mid
my point is to play teemo as the ap mage of the team
teemo works well with a typical top lane champion on his team
teemo brings a lot of map/jungle control for mid game from mid lane

 

[lordvaati]

40 RP...

40 bloody RP short of buying the discounted Rumble

Oh yeah, and I'm new here, wassup.my Summoner name is The Noble Kip, and so far I only have 2 of the starter champs(Ashe and Garen).

Would have had Rumble, but yeah, 40 RP short.

[DallasPhat]

Now an underplayed champ would be xerath, also ignite mid will slowly be replaced by teleport.

 

[Vyke]

I think our point was that AP Mid Teemo was already a thing. You just missed it because it was so short-lived.

 

[SuperBowser]

AP teemo is still very strong (even after the nerfs). if you play with a teemo mid, look at the damage charts at the end of the match. he will be much higher than the rest of his team.

Play Solo Top Nunu as much as possible.

[john!]

I've spent too much money on this game

But the game also indirectly gave me a job so it's k

let me guess... your sexy bunny girl riven drawing caught the attention of someone important?

 

[Okuser]

It is literally impossible to carry solo queue with AD carry anymore.

You can go 10-0 in lane and their 2-0 khazix will solo you while your team watches you die.

not to mention the average support is dumber than EVER. making it even harder since supports influence is higher than ever.


I miss season 2


I also don't understand how Diamond 3, 2 and 1 are so low skill level, like what happened to elo this season. is it all inflation?

 

[Sinister Slush]

More or less why I stopped going ad carry and more of AP mid. Can carry better even in the health meta with AP than AD.

10/0 in ranked with twitch, new S3 changes. 12/11 currently. Dammit...

 

[Asdioh]

Does that mean you went 2-11 after the changes? O_o
But yeah, AD carry is really unpleasant when the enemy team has divers/assassins, even if you get fed. You're gonna need to beg your team to peel with you in some cases.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I think it was Player 3 who said in here that Syndra was really good? 100% agree. If anything, I hope she'll be on the rise soon.

I've been trying to convince people that the support role is so much more than just getting your adc fed (even though that is a big part of it). Seems like people underestimate the impact of support, still.

 

[Player-3]

i know all of the good champions because im the best


thats why i play mordekaiser

Yes as a matter of fact.

 

[Z'zgashi]

lol, I played a game as Kog in Blind pick and went up against a team with Elise, Vi, AND Diana, and all they did was jump to me every fight and no one but my duo Janna tried to peel. Needless to say I got *****, nothing much I could do against those 3 gap closers all at once loool.

 

[Shaya]

Well, remember at the beginning of season 2 when riot killed jungling?
Well, riot have said multiple times that they wanted to kill ranged ads this season.

Basically only support (making da plays)/top/mid is even possible these days to carry with.

I genuinely find it dumb how over the top fragile characters are now and there isn't really any way around that, and nearly every team can run 5 aoe cc 1000+ range blink champion comps. It's really... sad... to me that the "Always viable Ashe" is so HORRIBLE these days, a late game ashe was once a gg. Every new character invalidates another (or multiple) older champs by virtue of just being more diverse and achieving the same as others (if not doing it better,). I kinda wish you could play within a certain sect of champion releases and keep the new guys to their own little worlds (call it League 2.0), as to me there hasn't really been anything new in terms of metagame enhancing (in comparison to the more common centralising affects they have) champion releases... for a longggggg time. I remember when Irelia was coming out and being heralded as a character developed with the ideal of countering aoe ult meta (she wasn't seen as viable even then though) but it made sense.

I'm not saying new champions aren't fun/cool/interesting, but are they more flashy toys rather than actually healthy additions competitively?

 

[Player-3]

if u want to carry just play ryze
