Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Shaya]

Imagine the guy who had a 6 game losing streak during the period which when you got demoted you were put on 0 points.
Dat double league drop.

My MMR is ****ing dumb because of it. Every game I play I'm against all Gold 1-3s while I was silver 2/3

 

[Asdioh]

Wow I forgot about that, lol. That... was pretty bad design. Though it still kinda is. Streaks are just the nature of this game. If it wasn't for division clamping when I first got into gold 1, I could've been into plat 5 promotions, or very close to it, shortly after. Instead, I got tiny amounts of points per game, and then a losing streak to drop to gold 3 (and then back up to gold 2) It's just kinda silly.

Anyway, liking this patch? I kinda really like the jungle changes, but I think people might want to start smiting blue (assuming they start at blue) because, even though it's hard to ward or blind steal the enemy blue, if the enemy mid laner or whoever does manage to steal it it's an instant level 2 with blue buff = auto lane win. And the jungler gets ****ed.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I get put with Gold 1 players all the time and it makes ranked harrrrrrrd >.>

 

[JTB]

wriggles looks really good now, i might start running it on some top lanes

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Err, it's the same but you can't use the passive on minions.

Unless you like the 1:30 ward or something.

 

[Ussi]

Are people still trying to take jungle creeps as laners? I still think double golems can be taken, especially with fiddle support since he will take the big golem down to half HP with 1 E

 

[JTB]

oh, thought the passive did include minions

theorycrafting shot down

 

[Leacero]

wriggles feels great now. especially since they gutted madreds from being useful outside of the jungle.

the 90 second ward is pretty nice too, much preferred to the 180.

 

[Wave⁂]

The first thing I thought when I saw the ward change was that Lee Sin really doesn't need any buffs

 

[JTB]

dorans shield 1 pot start on top zac feels pretty good compared to bead 2 ward 4 pot

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

They are trying to stop the, "laners taking jungle items because while they help junglers they do silly things in lane"

Like wiggles used to do for top lane.

 

[Leacero]

wiggle's lantern.

the imagery makes me giggle.

 

[Zano]

So is shaco supposed to be really good with this new jungle or am I imagining this.

 

[Sinister Slush]

People do their buffs at 1:55, Shaco is the fastest at finishing, he'll be at your next buff before you can do wraiths/wolves if you do them.

 

[Zano]

yeah, it was pretty fun laying down 4 boxes and doing blue without any help then taking red, I could get used to this.

[Ussi]

Switch wraiths and double golems, make double golems spawn every 40 seconds and give most gold. Boom farming the jungle is now viable

 

[Shaya]

Remember when double golems was as much xp as a buff ? (i.e. level 2)

Good times, good times.
Junglers been **** ever since.

 

[Leacero]

you guys obviously missed dphat's jungle karthus jungle farm last night

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

They should have the jungle S1 hard but have items make it easier so only if you build to jungle you can clear it better.

 

[Ussi]

Seriously, they should make the jungle mid game hard to the point you need wriggles/spirit items to clear the jungle

 

[Plum]

I like the Wriggles changes, but I'm not sure if it's worth getting over SotLE even with SotLE getting nerfed yet again.
Even after the SotLE nerf this patch, it gives you a lot more stats for the cost. Even a manaless champ that's getting no value from the mana regen, it's still more cost effective than Wriggles.
I think there might be specific champs that it has enough synergy with that they would want it though. Like maybe somebody like Tiger Udyr can go super objective mode with his 100% bonus attack speed from Q and passive to take objectives HELLA fast with the extra 100 damage per attack.

Madreds however is MUCH better. I think Madreds will be very strong, I'm just not sure if upgrading it is worth it. If you are putting 2000 gold into an item, SotLE or SotAG are so much more gold efficient as a jungler. When you don't get huge amounts of income, you need items to be as efficient as possible. Madreds is super cheap and I think offers enough to be worth it on somebody who might not want a Spirit Stone item.

sometimes i wonder if Riot really does do the math completely before they make changes. They make great moves a lot of the time, but this jungle change sucks.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Here's something to make it even worse.

rofl wut. U hit 2 off that. that's hilarious.

Hi. I just started playing this game yesterday, and I have a couple of questions.
First of all, why are there little brown boxes with plus signs over the champion's abilities that say the exact same thing as when you hover over the champion's abilities underneath?
Also, how do you chat with people during the match?
(If they showed this stuff in the tutorial, I already forgot it.)

ohhhhh boy.
Also there's really a website called how2jungle, what.

Yes, that's why I said junglers might want to consider smiting if they don't have vision on the other side of their blue. Someone like Syndra can steal it pretty easily and get instant level 2 + blue buff, it's op.

Uh, the plus signs are for you to level up your abilities. You get 1 point per level. To chat, press enter, unless you mean whispering friends in which case it's /w username or /r to reply.

 

[Geoberos]

It shows more than the exact same thing. It shows what changes if you level that skill up. Though if it's the skill's first point, it will show the exact same thing.

Does the all chat still default to Team Only?

 

[Get Low]

So I should just click on them if they pop up?

 

[DallasPhat]

New jungle changes give purple bot lane a heavy advantage , adc should
Leech blue exp cause it puts both he jungler and adc only 1 creep away from 2

 

[Leacero]

Why wouldn't that be true for blue team top lane as well?

 

[Life]

I think a lot of people assign some hotkeys to level up skills rather than clicking (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but other than that yes. Remember you only get one per level--generally you'll want the far-right one (R) when there's four of them, because that's your ultimate and they get a lot of power from being leveled, but beyond that it depends on champion matchups and roles. Usually there's an obvious skill to put one point in early and then finish leveling last, and usually there's an obvious skill to max first, but not always.

 

[JTB]

First impressions on aatrox for those who have played with him?

 

[Zano]

He's gonna be fun to jungle with.

 

[DallasPhat]

Cindy is correct applies to top lame blue side as well

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Hey guys remember those Leblanc changes on the PBE way back when, well they are back.

Thing are changed though, her Ult now costs 0 mana.

 

[Soft Serve]

Draven is losing his bleed. Today is a great day.

 

[john!]

have you seen his new passive? it's hilarious

League of Draven

• New Passive: Draven gains his fan's Adoration whenever he catches a Spinning Axe, kills a minion or kills a neutral monster. Killing an enemy champion grants Draven bonus gold based on how much Adoration he has.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Aatrox is a stupid champ. Too much sustain, buying Ex Call now.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I'm glad they're gutting Draven
