Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Dre89]

Espy- Their not having off days. Since I picked Rumble up again and suddenly stop being ******** with him, I have literally never lost lane as Rumble against anyone of any elo, Diamond or not, unless they're Nidalee or Kayle, or I got camped out my brains. If I beat 1 or 2 Diamonds I'd just think it was luck, but I've beaten every single one that I've versed as Rumble (never versed a Diamond Nid or Kayle).

What you have to remember is although I'm Silver, like 60% of my games are spent playing higher elo players because I do normals with people who pull Diamonds and Challengers. I've also played ranked 5s against Diamonds and Challengers, so I've versed them in competitive settings too. So my rank is deceptive with regards to what level of play I'm used to playing at. For perspective, I'll get mocked by my mates if I lose to anyone Gold or lower if I'm top lane, because with the amount I've played versing better players it's expected that I win against people around my elo.

I've beaten master tiers and I'm bronze, that means I'm a god and everyone else sucks, especially p3

I literally said that I was implying not that I'm good, but that rank doesn't isn't as much of a skill-indicator as people think it is. I just don't like how people use their rank as a position of authority, as if it means they're a better player. My original point was that initially I wanted to climb to see how high I could get/how good I was, but once I realised it's not an indication of skill I stopped caring about it.

That was the original point, everyone just got annoyed that I mentioned beating high level players as my reason for disregarding the value of rank.

 

[Player-3]

i do indeed suck at this game now, as evidence check my freshly decayed from d1 diamond 5 status

 

[Sinister Slush]

Sinister- Why do you care about holding onto Diamond if you don't care about climbing? Is it the status? I don't care about holding onto Silver now that I've stopped tryharding in ranked but Silver obviously isn't as prestigous as Diamond lol.

Cause y not keep diamond since I'm already there.
No reason to possibly get myself banned trolling and feeding just to fall down lower to prove a point to you.

 

[Dre89]

I just had an ARAM where the opposing team was Ziggs Heimer Lux Veigar and Brand. We won though because we had two tanks who stacked MR and tank teams eventually outscale mage teams in ARAMs.

You don't need to troll, I just don't see why you care if it decays if you don't care about climbing.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Only thing I care about at this point in the season is my Twitch score.
It shall stay 11-3 before he started getting picked up in LCS (remodel) and used in OGN Worlds etc.

I always knew the Rat was OP.

Yeah I care more about individual champ scores than my elo.

On another note, one thing I don't get is why people build Liandry's on dot champs like Rumble and Swain, but not on poke/seige champs like Ziggs and Xerath. I'm pretty sure it actually does more damage on the poke champs than the dot champs.

 

[Chinaux]

You guys seem really bad just saying.

Rumble benefits from tons of magic pen and some rush the liandries or Rylai's before zhonya's even for some reason. Swain I never see Liandries on, ROA Zhonya then SV or FH to be tanky when walking 1v5 into the team and pressing the key for zhonya to gain all that health back.

Ziggs and Xerath benefit more from raw burst over wittling down enemies from burn, and why Liandries when they can get a Void staff on top of their athene's deathcap zhonya.

 

[Player-3]

chinaux everybody here is bad except for me

this includes you

u suck

 

[Shaya]

I don't think I've ever lost a game where P3 is on the other team.

 

[Player-3]

shaya thinks hes good because he beat me in ~FRIENDLIES~ smh i only take tournament matcfhes seriously even money matches dont matter to me because im rich $$$

 

[Shaya]

I was referring to League though.
Smash was just icing on da cake. And I don't money match anyone, let's have a dinner match instead

 

[Zano]

good thing all australians eat is rabbit food so it wouldn't even cost $5 to feed him

so was i


remember that time you lost to a ness

 

[Shaya]

I ain't even remotely mad about that. I shouldn't be beating the best player in the world of a character in tournament on my first opportunity to play him

 

[KuroganeHammer]

[Shaya]

I didn't even beat the best sonic in the world at my second attempt at him in tournament (actually, have I only played you in a tournament set once before Espy?). Please give me more time.

Ditto to Yoshi.

@_@

ALL THESE MATCH UPS WHERE I LOSE TO THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MAINS OF THOSE CHARACTERS EVER, I CAN'T LIVE ANYMORE.

Actually, **** Yoshi, he's too good this game, I'm sure there will be 10,000 yoshi mains though, so I'll be fine.

 

[Dre89]

Apparently food is cheaper in your country, even though the portions are normally bigger.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I wanna hit Diamond myself, but I haven't been playing league recently with smash being a larger priority to me.

 

[Espy Rose]

I think we've only played in one tournament set, though we did play a set right before one tournament.

It's kinda swayed though. I also had a huge load of Marth experience by the time I played you.

 

[Shaya]

Oh that's even better then
*easy breezy*.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on this ****ing terrible game balance. Amirite?

 

[Sinister Slush]

The Yoshi boards, while new blood is coming up, still feels like it's less active then most boards.

 

[Shaya]

I think it would/should get better for him. I'm not sure of anything that really stands in Yoshi's way competitively other than Rosalina and Sheik.
Only see those match ups getting better for Yoshi rather than the other way around.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Funny you bring up Rosalina when some of us just finished discussing over skype how people are overrating her.

 

[Espy Rose]

You mean underrating. She's kinda ridiculous.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Like the post above for example.

I guess I can say she's strong, but that's cause her competition isn't that hard to deal with. Kinda like how people are saying Yoshi Sonic etc. are broken now when they had minor changes all around.

Most characters either got huge nerfs/huge buffs or tiny buffs/nerfs which is basically making it Neutral.
Sheik is one of the old characters that got huge buffs along with ZSS Lucario.
Then newcomers like DH Robin Greninja Little Mac and Rosalina are just all strong newcomers.

Characters who I feel is in the "barely anything changed from brawl to smash 4" tier is like Sonic Yoshi Diddy

 

[Espy Rose]

Except Sonic went through a ****ton of changes.

 

[Sinister Slush]

That depends on the big changes. the Side-b Down-b changes are decent sized changes I guess.

But something in terms of, for example, Yoshi bair being three hits with more lag + Sonic Utilt being 2 hits instead of 3 are "minor" changes.

 

[Espy Rose]

All of Sonic's specials have been redone. Tilts are stronger, aerials are weaker. It's impossible to play the same style that you played in Brawl in Sm4sh because of how different his mechanics are.

 

[Shaya]

Stuff like the speed/potency of his CQC feel significantly different to Brawl. While I do personally recall the power of the nair and upair, I never had to respect them as get-rekt level of shield pressure, and if you did you were just going to get air grabbed. Now you're forced to respect that and all you see is people getting air grabbed for 20%+ over and over again. We may get better at dealing with it, but it looks like the OoS options in the game just aren't as good as they were when it comes to dealing with Yoshi, and him suddenly having OoS options is, like, so so so so so big, I can't believe you don't praise the heavens more about that, it's what literally turned an otherwise upper middle tier maybe even low high tier character in Brawl into a low-ish tier.

And I may be wrong, but his tail is disjointed this game? Pretty lame.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I never said the OoS options wasn't bad.
The first thing I did when I had the Smash 4 Demo for 30 seconds was attempt jump OoS. That made me feel like the happiest person on earth that day.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I think we are getting a bit offtopic, but before we talk about ~LEAGUE~ I just want to say that Rosalina feels extremely polarizing with only one real weakness, her weight and floatiness, which are only somewhat remedied by her silly hitboxes.

League: What they have (had?) planned for next patch scares me

 

[Espy Rose]

Preseason is going to be a cacophony of absolute ludicrousness with all the proposed changes if a bunch of them happen to get through. I like it.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Rosalina is booty

 

[Dre89]

Characters who I feel is in the "barely anything changed from brawl to smash 4" tier is like Sonic Yoshi Diddy

The changes to Diddy's nanas (plus losing glidetossing) and the buffs to some of his melee attacks changed how he plays fundamentally. He no longer sets up a tent, then punishes your approach with projectile combos. Now he's more of a fast brawler who happens to use nanas every now and then, it's a pretty big difference.

I kind of wonder if there is a correlation between what characters people play in Smash and what champs they play in LoL. Like if someone who mains Bowser happens to specialise in tanks and bruisers, or someone who plays mages plays projectile-based champs like Samus etc.

this is the league of legends thread not the smash thread u ****ing ingrates

Why are you always so aggressive lol

Like you cant make a post without being aggro for some reason. I know you're just joking half the time but it's like you feel the need to establish dominance or some **** lol

 

[Sinister Slush]

He's being sarcastic while also telling us in his own way to stop. He's not being aggressive lol
