Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[prog]

Yessssss... Sona tomorrow! Also, I tried Miss Fortune tonight since its her free week. What an easy, fun champ to play. She melts faces so hard. I might have to pick her up once I get past the Sona binge I'm about to embark on.

Epic comeback of epicness tonight... Scamp started the game 0-10 and we got pushed back to our base towers before we got farmed up enough to handle the enemy team. A couple of good teamfights in the jungle where we split their initiation and we were able to battle back and trap them in their base. Then it was just farm/press to win. Scamp rebounded nicely, but I think DMG's 9 kills lead the team, followed by my Amumu and Azen's Janna with 7 each.

Oh... yeah... hey Tom, Jungle Nunu isn't good at getting kills? 11-3-15

pfft, carried as kass against a premade. mid/top got wrecked, i finally realize that i'm a falco main, start playing campy as hell, end up with 20 stacks as 16/2/16.

mogweezy, still waiting on your advice. item order at the moment
tome-->mejaj
boots +1
mana regen thingy--> tear of the goddess
boots +2 with magic pen OR blasting wand-->void staff depending on team

by this point, usually gg, but if not...
guardian angel if i'm looking to protect stacks
or

sheen-->lich bane if looking to get them

 

[Mogwai]

z-ring over lich bane. usually you gotta start d-ring, but if they'll let you get away with amp tome, that works too I guess. it's tough having lane presence without the early mana regen though. The alternative to mejai + tear -> archangels is just going Catalyst -> RoA straight into GA or Banshee's

 

[DMG]

That long game was dumb. I only wish I had OP Heimer back. 750 AP and 400 Minion kills is low compared to what he could do lol

 

[Vyke]

Just tried a game as jungle pantheon... and god ****, is it brutal. Level 3 red/blue buff gank is insane. Took down a Mordekaiser who had full shield.

What's the usual item build, Mog? I went Wriggles, Boots, Brut... unsure of where to go from there but the game ended lol.

 

[Mogwai]

wriggles boots manamune brut mercs tanking crap

how's the video quality here? play quality is terrible because I was on tilt, but hey, with revive, you can be a ******* every once and awhile, right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZb9tCld4-g

if that all looks good, I'll probably try to record a jungle panth tutorial sometime in the not too distant future.

 

[Vyke]

I started off with golem, went wolves, then lizard and gank. Go back buy razors, boots if I can afford. Then Manamune after finishing wriggles is what i need to change, but a fast brut seems to work nice. Most of the games I've been in haven't lasted long enough to tell because we've ***** each time.

As for quality, the aspect ratio is a bit wonky. Can't read anything either, but that's not really a big issue. It's watchable and that's what counts.

Hotshot's Solo Q ELO dropped to 1700s... You might be in for a treat soon, lol.

 

[Mogwai]

playing with hotshot isn't a treat . He's really whiny when he loses with characters he's not good with. The last time I played vs. him I firstblooded his AP Grag with jungle Amumu, lol. The time before that I was carrying really hard with Pantheon vs. his AP Yi but the rest of my team wasnn't as good as his and we ended up losing in the end.

meh, I've tanked my elo 67 points over the past 3 days (1673 -> 1606), really frustrating.

and hmm, I see what you're saying about the aspect ratio. I think that's windows movie maker's fault, I might try tinkering with those settings and remaking that one when I post the rest of the game.

oh, and manamune is getting a big nerf in this patch, so you're actually fine getting used to brutalizer after lantern. After that I'd say grab a BF Sword and then start building Banshee's or a Guardian Angel.

This.

[Mogwai]

yea, like, I wouldn't mind him ******* around if he didn't act like he should be winning when he's ****ing around, you know? Like if I play Roy in team friendlies at smash, I'm not gonna ***** out my partner for losing because I'm playing ****ing Roy, but Hotshot's the first to point fingers when his team's losing even if he's stacking philosopher's stones on Mal Zahar.

 

[DMG]

Kinda sad about Manamune. I thought it was a pretty interesting item, and even at that dirt cheap price it wasn't something that replaced core builds for the masses. It was efficient at the cost of slowing down the rest of your build, pretty fair trade off IMO. Oh well, kindlegem/whatever the **** they start calling new items better be good lol.

 

[Mogwai]

Kindlegem itself is awful. Compare it to Spirit Visage sometime if you really wanna see how bad it is. Shurlya's Whateverthehellitscalled is... well, I dunno, the active seems pretty strong, but the stats on it still feel really underwhelming. I guess we'll see.

 

[prog]

when does the new kassadin skin come out. it is so ****.

 

[Mogwai]

i dun like it that much. probably next week.

 

[Cia]

So, thoughts on Sona?

i like her, but I feel like I have to be such an opportunist KS'er just to get any farm.

 

[Vyke]

That's how any support champion is. If you're farming or getting kills, you're doing it wrong. Gotta support the carries, let them get the gold... get yours off of assist or the occasional last hits.

Of course, solo queue... Well...

 

[ruin`]

Mogwai, ur jungle pantheon sounds legit.

What's an optimum jungle path?

Summoner spells? Masteries?

items=?

broadcasting now, BLITZCRANKKK

EDIT: i forgot my game freezes up when i alt tab while broadcasting @__@

 

[Virgilijus]

Screen is black save for flashlight cursor...

 

[Mogwai]

I hear Passion Pit and Michael Jackson and approve though.

 

[Leacero]

It should be fixed kinda @_@

Computers are too complicated.

Just saw this. Thought it'd brighten your day, Mogwai. Also get yer stream workin' boi

 

[Leacero]

If you want to see Riot's servers crashing mid-game, then watch my latest saved video. X_X

 

[Vyke]

Weird, we just finished our game. We must have played on a more stable server... probably wasn't Maestro. ;D

 

[DMG]

yeah just got done with a game, and right after that server went to poop

I'll do something like this for Jungle Panth next time I have to do it in ranked.

 

[Vyke]

So the change to Fling also bugged it tremendously... if you try to fling somebody you're chasing, they'll get hit but not move and just take damage.

gg riot testing department.

Also, nice videos. But for the love of god STOP MUMBLING!

 

[DMG]

mnnebennnba

mshuiadhi *inaudible words*... alright!

lol

 

[Mogwai]

mumbling is what I do!

 

[Vyke]

Just make sure you turn off your game's sound or at least very low... or turn up the mic.

 

[Mogwai]

yea, i put mic all the way up, but I think I need to turn the game sounds down a little. I also need to imagine I'm talking to people because I think I partially mumble because I'm just talking to myself and it's a little weird.

 

[Vyke]

Yeah, Roku recites what he's thinking to himself for his stream. He sounds monotone but if you ever talk to him, a lot different.

 

[DMG]

Phreak when he is commentating spews out GOLD

Absolute GOLD lol

 

[L__]

I really liked the tutorial

edit: wow Revive *****

 

[M3D]

Fun videos on Pantheon there. I wish I was good with him, but I am NOT. Not at all.

Sona impression: Tier 3 champ... maybe low tier 2? She does some decent damage for a supporter, but her auras are not as godly as people made them sound this week. They are helpful but not ridiculous. Her heal isn't anything special, her speed boost is nice during chases, either as the chaser or chasee, but nothing to write home about. Her ult is decent, but Amumu's is still better and since people already almost all bring Merc Treads to every fight, they get out of it and focus her in a hurry anyways. Overall I like playing her, but her squishiness and lack of burst heal won't make her a must-pick at all. Morgana/Taric are still definitely better support picks.

 

[Vyke]

Two of aforementioned champions being banned almost every ranked match. (Morg, Mummy.)

 

[Scamp]

Still too early to tell, but HotshotGG was doing reeeeeeeally well with her on the CLG stream yesterday. He basically got the Shurelya's item thingy and then rushed AP items.

Think Heimer's rockets with auras and lots of utility. She's probably upper tier 2 from what I've seen, and maybe even tier 1, but probably not that high since she can't really carry by herself.

But oh man, do I hate seeing her picked on my team. It's REALLY REALLY easy to play badly with her and get killed a lot.

 

[Mogwai]

she seems absurdly squishy to me. When I saw her last night, I just jumped on her and killed her instantly.

 

[ruin`]

Sona tier 3 imo. Would be nice if they made her ult global.

Nice vid Mogwai. Lane pantheon my fav.
I'm eager to see how effective/ineffective jungle pantheon is compared to others.

 

[Mogwai]

global 2.5 second stun would be so horrifically unfun to be on the receiving end of .
