Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Scamp]

I agree with M3D to an extent about the nerfs. I think the only time you really want to nerf something in a game like this is when a character is doing something that wasn't intended by design and you as the designer don't like it. The easiest example was Heimer and how he was able to push lanes by himself and destroy towers with ease. With that kind of ability he's either too good or he'd have to be so bad that it'd be hard to get that going.

But other than that, yeah, it's generally better not to nerf so much.

Also something should be updated in the first post making it clear to join SWF in all capitals. There's a number of people in "swf" and it's not the same room, and this is fracturing the community!!!

 

[Pakman]

Mogwai is on vacation, so I am gonna spam his name to see your post.

MOGWAI MOGWAI MOGWAI WES SMASHGIZMO PANTHEON

 

[AshuRawRun]

Riot determines the metagame. I like it. Obv some champs are going to be selected to become stronger than others.

When is Captain Teemo gonna be OP? Lulz, captain teemo bans.

LMFAO

 

[Tom]

Kinda concerned that they are going to ruin Amumu and Morgana in the next patch.

they've been top of the list for a while now... my top 2 played champs. ive been concerned about it every patch. amumu got a tiny nerf to his passive recently but other than that theyve been ok.

however

nothing could ever nerf THE COOKIES

THEY HAVE BURNED

 

[prog]

Yeah, I always ban Amumu first. A tank like that with jungle ability...

Then Garen, because I HATE.

Elementz thinks Galio is #1.

His opinion is invalid.

edit: There's supposed to be a small hint of "kidding" in my post.

downloaded yesterday. played for the first time today.

is leagueoflegends.com the best place to read up on strategy/whatnot?

 

[L__]

leaguecraft.com is a nice place to get some guides and general info to get started

the people in here though are really good with LoL like Mogwai, SamuraiPanda, etc.

 

[Tom]

also watching livestream of good players helps you realize what you are supposed to do

http://clgaming.net/index.php?page=livestream


also, if buying items seems confusing and intimidating, just do what the guides tell you to until you begin to recognize what they do

 

[SamuraiPanda]

The lower I go in ELO, the harder it is to carry. Its actually funny. Instead of having to carry 2-3 feeders and idiots, I have to carry 4. This is the worst spiral I've ever been in. Given, I purposefully lost 100 ELO, but now I'm actually trying to get it higher and it just hurts my head at how stupid people are.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Btw, not entirely done with GP. Figured out an insanely effective build that makes my mid game+ retardedly powerful. Now I just need to figure out how to make his early game not garbage and we may be back in business.

 

[DMG]

Dunno if you can make his early game not garbage.

 

[_kSo_]

So, the recent patch has done something to my client that won't allow it to patch. I keep getting the following message:
"The launcher has experienced an error. Please restart the application."

I've restarted the application, restarted my computer, and even uninstalled LoL all together, and I am still getting this message. I don't know what to do!

edit: I'm going to try running through Riot's re-installation guide and see if i get any different results. I'll post up any information I find.

 

[L__]

I got that error, I just kept restarting my client and eventually it worked. :/

 

[Pakman]

My desktop was getting an error during the loading of the application. Not the client the actual game. So I would join a game. Pick my character, runes and masteries. The application would load, and my game would crash. I had to switch to my laptop to finish the games. It is pretty silly.

 

[Leacero]

I still have to download the standalone every time a new patch comes out. At least they're on point with those.

 

[L__]

okay so I'm getting 5 fps randomly and it's really annoying. closing lolclient.exe doesn't help much, anyone have any suggestions?

 

[Octave]

Just played a 71 minute game where our Kayle didn't hit 18 until like the last 5 minutes and built a Mejai's last.

Are people ******** or is it just my bad luck?

 

[AshuRawRun]

No people are just ******** :/

I like Elementz's posts they are very well made with some humor etc.

So some Lux details leaked and apparently her W grants invisibility to an ally. Going to be super annoying... but hey! My Nunu is going to go nuts with an invisible Absolute Zero. I'll sneak up behind and POOF, your health asplode.

So with all the champs free this weekend, I gave Swain a try today to see what he's really like. Yeah, pretty much exactly what everyone is complaining about it true. He's a made with low range and a burst combo that requires him to get inside. He's got some nifty tools, but the way they all fit together you just have to put yourself in serious danger to do anything worthwhile. You feel like a boss when you do get your full combo off and survive, but then EVERYTHING is on cooldown and you just watch your teammates fight. I did get a double kill though because I landed my full combo on one dude and then caught a fleeing enemy with low health in Nevermore just as it came off cooldown.

lol.. i'm almost positive that using a skill would instantly reveal you. (like shaco) I don't think riot would put in something that OBVIOUSLY OP

 

[Scamp]

It's pretty OP regardless IMO. Can you imagine Annie suddenly appearing with Tibbers in tow?

 

[AshuRawRun]

I know it's french but whatever, there's a video in the bottom of first post with a demo of lux:

[Wobbles]

Her costume looks dumb as hell. No lie.

 

[Zolga Owns]

I agree. I'm making a custom skin for her :/ That's awful.

 

[Leacero]

The portrait in the video makes me lmao.

 

[AshuRawRun]

Her costume looks dumb as hell. No lie.

You dare say that as an Urgot player? O_O

But I must agree on that point, her skin is horrible, but her spells looks cool.

**** an Urgot player criticizing a skin I'll have seen everything...

 

[Vyke]

Urgot looks amazing. He's fit for his lore and role perfectly.

Lux on the other hand, looks like some sort of 1930s house wife with a sexy midriff. Not a Light-Bending Mage.

 

[Mogwai]

still on vacation, but I felt like checking in with a couple minutes. I don't know why Pakman spammed my name. I've been saying Galio's tremendously underrated for awhile. #1 sounds like a bit much, but he really has everything going for him.

 

[Vyke]

Amumu, Malphite, and Nunu is a nasty Twisted Treeline team, lol.

Get ***** in the beginning, **** in the end.

 

[Pakman]

This is why I spammed your name.

 

[Wobbles]

Good lord is Pantheon fun. So is Kennen.

Actually, I pick champs based almost entirely on the sounds they make. The sound of spears, shurikens, lightning, and creeps exploding into gold, all of that gives me a deep sense of contentment unmatched by any of life's endeavors. I also like characters that move a lot.

 

[DanGR]

So is Kennen.

Thissssssssss^.

Holy b-button, what should I do for my 5,000 post? Dx

 

[Scamp]

Finally finished winning with every character in ranked!

Mashed potatoes celebration time!

 

[_kSo_]

i'm in a really ****ty ELO right now, probably kuz of my own badness, but I'd like to duo queue with someone and get out of it plzzz

 

[Octave]

I love playing Singed .___. He's so entertaining.

 

[john!]

i'll duo with ya kso

also, i think i found a tank i can shine with (that's not banned): rammus. funnily enough he was the first character i ever played in lol. i just sort of picked a random champ during week 2 and didn't know what i was doing. i think we won.

i've also been doing great with twitch recently, i tried him out this weekend and have been wrecking face.

i won't talk about the numerous champs i tried and failed with this weekend lol.

edit: OMG articuno, rattata, sandshrew! it all makes sense now. or maybe i suck with human characters and am cursed to playing only animals.
