what the ****?
solomid lost x.x

 

[safehaven]

useless urgot

 

[DanGR]

@Jpak- Not sure.



Also, LOOOOOL@ Phreak's fascination with Wriggles->Triforce Udyr. Wait until people start getting Tiger>Phoenix. ;P

 

[M3D]

I dunno why Urgot was in there on that push. Cho got the tower easy. He got wrecked and with the Janna DC it was 5v3 pushing there near the end. SoloMid fail. I had Vman7 on my friends list a while back, before he got supercool on a top team. Glad to see him wrecking faces.

 

[-Vocal-]

no they won

lux did so much for the team

I hope there's a replay. Jiji's Lux is actually the one that inspired me to pick her back up a couple weeks ago. I love Lux so much, if I could master her then I'd be happy with this game, regardless of what "Bad Kids list omgsuckage" I'm in

You see which lux skin he chose Voc? (smirk)

I wanted spell thief at first but didn't have the RP for it and didn't want to spend more right then It IS on sale this week however, so I just might pick it up.

[jpak]

TSM forced themselves to pick urgot because OGB has a strong a urgot and have been using him everygame so far. So rather than banning him they chose to pick him :\

 

[safehaven]

and they got ***kkkkkkkkked for it

urgot picked again now. wonder of jiji wanted him.
and i wonder if jiji is ever gonna pick anivia again.. =(

 

[jpak]

its ok just watch clg win this real easy... they coulda counterpicked ogb a little better i coulda told you they would have picked 4 of the 5 champs they have on their team currently . only way clg loses is if saintvicious fails or more DC

 

[M3D]

I'm pretty stoked that VMan is playing GP right now. Happiness.

 

[PhantomX]

But he DCed :\

Also, Elementz finally bested Urgot, even though imaqtpie played SUPER well early. Chauster just not giving a **** about anyone. I also enjoyed watching Hotshot sitting around in their jungle all day.

I think this is the first game I persoanlly watch where I've seen Elementz playing a carry.

 

[Virgilijus]

Yeah, he typically plays all support. Guess they wanted to switch it up a bit.

Chauster is just wrecking people.

 

[UTDZac]

Imagine if TF were really good, you'd ban him all the time right?

... yeah, they should have banned shen

 

[-Vocal-]

That was surprise ear sex no lube no rubber

 

[PhantomX]

First pick Cho... hell yeah.

 

[Evanms]

Hot shot's alistar too pro insta ban alistar shen.

 

[Virgilijus]

That was surprise butt sex no lube no rubber

No anal sex.

Last warning before bans

 

[L__]

this udyr

lol...

 

[-Vocal-]

No anal sex.

Last warning before bans

Is it better now?

On another note, I'm just going to do everyone a favor and not queue with SWFers unless I somehow miraculously become good at this game, because every game I play with SWFers reveals to me just how terrible of a player I am. Maybe someday I'll be able to have fun, but til then I'm just going to tryhard my *** off alone and pray the LoL gods bless me so I won't be so dumb.

 

[PhantomX]

Elementz and Stvicious did work. Hotshot's cho is pretty legit. Must be because it's a gentleman.

Vocalyze, you should try to pick a role you like to fill and then just play a few heroes in that role that you enjoy. Changing who you play and what type of position you fill every time is going to make you at best mediocre at all of them and great at none.

 

[jpak]

dONT WORRY WE'LL SEE JPAK'S TEAM ON STREAM SOON
/HOPE
/GOTTALEARNCHO =X

 

[M3D]

Vocal, you get better queueing with better players. You just have to have thick skin when you get yelled at. If you only queue with lower-level players, you won't have anyone good to tell you when you make mistakes and you'll keep making them.

I'm sorry I publicly called you and Arturito out the other day. I was frustrated that we held out that long only to choke at the end. But I bet you won't make that mistake again!

At least you know what to work on, right? I don't even know how to get better, atm.

I'll keep queuing with you dude, as long as I know you want to get better and try to correct your mistakes.

This. The only way to get better is to learn from those that are on the skill level you want to be on. thats why I try to queue with everyone.

 

[Spife]

what do u guys think about laning shaco? i mean obviously he is a good ganker if he was jungling. but what about laning shaco? and how would u build him?

My advice is buy the time machine and go back to last summer when that was viable. If you can't farm enough creeps to get the time machine, my suggestion is to buy Jungling instead. I think buying jungling is a better idea cause I think Riot took the time machine out of the game a few patches ago.

If you do buy jungling, make sure you level up your passive first, and never go ap because that **** should never work (and if it does, eating the other teams face would have been way more satisfying).

 

[Tom]

^ This ^

Also, screw you Tom. I funhard a-plenty. I play all kinds of random characters even when we're not in-housing. How many times in vent have I said "I'm happy because my match history shows 9 different characters in the last 10 matches" or something to that effect? I got yelled at this week because I was playing Teemo and people wanted to tryhard. I was trying to play random champs yesterday afternoon and my own brother told me he was sick of me screwing around instead of trying hard to win. So get off me. I have plenty of fun, but when we're tryharding I actually tryhard.

y u mad tho??

 

[-Vocal-]

I know queueing with better players is supposed to make you better and I agree, but I feel bad every time I screw something up for one of you. You guys actually know how to play this game whereas I'm...adequate? Idk. On top of that, I don't want a reputation of being bad to stick with me forever; then people only play with me when they don't care about winning. I think I'm just going to try recording myself, watching the replays, and critiquing my gameplay choices; bettering myself without putting anyone at risk.

And @PX: The role I like is ranged carry, especially solo mid. It's all I played for ages, and I'm fairly good at it, I believe. Tristana, Ashe, MF, Sivir. It's not the mechanics that I'm bad at (at least I don't think so), it's the theory involved in winning a game that I don't have a firm enough grasp of yet.

 

[Juno McGrath]

Thats why jpak has his alt.

:D

personally i have not played with you, but maybe i can suggest smurfing?

What does smurfing do?

 

[PhantomX]

It doesn't really help you improve your gameplay, but it's super fun for trolling, and running w/ Olaf.

I think you need to learn to prioritize what is important in this game. Towers > Map Objectives (always be near Baron if it's up or about to be up if it's mid to late game) > Kills/CS under most circumstances. You also need to learn to read the minimap so you can understand when it's safe to go to a lane to CS or when it's a good time to back.

If you can push a tower or inhibitor, even if you have only 100 health left on you, you do it. Having a tower up over your opponent gives you global gold and experience (though somewhat nerfed XP I think, if it's even still there), plus it gives you map control, which is probably the most important thing in this game. It's why you also do everything you can to save towers (unless you're going to both lose the tower and your life, in which case you let it go).

 

[M3D]

So should I finally invest in AS marks? I've got the IP to spend. Probably good for Nunu/Olaf/WW jungling, right?

 

[Tom]

What does smurfing do?

personally, i found that when i hit 30 my basics were still bad. i was out of position a lot and i didnt really understand the flow of the game, when its time to roam etc. my map awareness was ok but my cs was (and still is...) horrendous. so i re-did the path to 30 in my down/alone time and it helped.

So should I finally invest in AS marks? I've got the IP to spend. Probably good for Nunu/Olaf/WW jungling, right?

ya

 

[PhantomX]

It's pretty good on any jungler, though usually only necessary for speed/faster clearing. If you can do it at a good speed without it, I don't really see why you'd bother.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

I want to, if available, play with more swf players. Really wanting to get better and fully willing to sit through yelling and critique for it X:

I know. This is why I'm just going to watch replays - I can spot those things myself without the humiliation or lowering of social status that comes with queuing with people that already know them. It is better for me to learn alone than to mess everyone up and constantly be embarassed. People play together to have fun, but I have never had fun with SWFers because I spend too much time screwing up and everyone dislikes playing with me because of it. Not fun for me and not fun for anyone else so it's just better that it doesn't happen. I'll play with people again once I think we can actually have fun instead of yelling at me

 

[Wobbles]

I'll play with you Vocal! :D

This. I've been getting trash talked a lot these last few weeks and I've gotten a lot better.

Running with Olaf was the epitome of my league career.

As marks make jungle so fast on ww.
