let's start a team called "swf players who are kind of ok at this game but don't play premades much" or SPWAKOO for short

ap poppy is a "troll" build by virtue of the fact that it is the best kept secret in the entire game, and people will rage at you when you kill them in less than a second.

I'm down for SPWAKOO. Though nowadays during the summer I do most of my playing during the day, so I don't know how that fits with people's schedules

I don't like that idea... People will rage.

IMHO You need people who can improve and who are willing to listen to advice to make a good team..

No one starts off perfect but if you can learn from playing with each other you should be a solid team

IDK if I'm explaining it well.. like you need good players.. But you need people who can take advice from each other after losses ya know?

Learn from the loss without raging at each other no matter what.

Right now... It's hard to carry an entire team of idiots in an objective based game..

Not impossible but if you're against a competent team it's not gonna happen.

Premade more.

Listen to mogwai trolololol

lol john!, that sounds awesome.

Also, for the first time, I've felt the sorrow of seeing my entire team feed the other entire team in well under 10 minutes.

It was the hardest beat down ever.

lol, let me rephrase my question

Of all the roles the team has to offer, which one has the most influence on the game?

Tura, I trust your opinion on this

Am I good enough for SPWAKOO?

Maybe it's what I need to get good.

if you can **** your top lane as jarvan he's a great carry candidate, before yorick/lane udyr/ lane wick got popular it was tough to not **** top so hard that you win the team for your game

sadly, current top lane FOTM all **** him pretty bad with close to 0 skill involved and max gheyness

You gotta be lvl 30.

You need to reach thirty, I cannot stress how much you'll learn through experience..
I mean I didn't know every single items stats etc when I was lvl 14.. I still don't know the EXACT amounts on EVERYTHING... It's something you pick up through playing.. Knowing how to play.. knowing map awareness etc.. I can teach you. But you don't realize how much difference runes/masteries can make that are only available to you through reaching level 30..

I know you can be good. And if you play with these guys in normals it would definitely help.
I really think that if you played MORE you would benefit so much.

I mean I used to SUCK and I mean royally SUCK at Dota.. Still do probably. I can remember my first LOL game with Kennen and how bad I got *****.. mainly because I didn't know what each champs spells etc were and how to play around them. Experience is how you learn these things. I've been playing dota since like.. 06... It's been a really long time. And I was never good. EVER. In the professional sense or competitive or anything. But I mean I've played like 800 games of League and right now I'm like 50+ wins over losses which I think is ok...

Overall you need more experience I cannot stress it enough.

TL; DR : Play more, hit 30

If you have a good tank, ranged carry and ap carry will ****.

If you have a good carry, tanks will steamroll.

If they have bad support and control, divers will ****.


In my opinion, strong ranged carries are the best option if there are multiple tanky people on your team because it's much easier to be a meatshield than a carry. They also deal more consistent damage than mages.

I don't want to make a team and end up telling people they can't join my team because they don't know how to play this game. :bee:
Wimp.

Spineless.

:p

I mean it's nothing personal... I understand people are better than me.. I've been replaced before lmao.. You gotta get better or go back to normals rofl.

Let's see...the only role I can do on a team decently is support. and if Dan wants to play support then he's probably better at it than me. :<

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
i wana see a deathcap+ mana staff teemo
1350ap +shrooms=?
AP Teemo is funny, but he's just better when built AS + On-hit since it accidentally turns him into a Tanky DPS. Teemo #1 Tanky DPS.

I've yet to play with mogwai....=[
I mostly end up streaming solo queue these days so I haven't been playing with much of anyone outside of my IRL friends and their group recently. I am however thinking of expanding my streaming schenanigans to include stuff like a Smurf-With-My-Viewers day among some other ideas I think people might find interesting/fun (and thus attract more viewers and help me in my quest to become e-famous).

Can you help me stream btw?

Like whenever I stream I get some crucial framerate lag (even when I shutdown skype) and I think it has something to do with my settings on the stream...like maybe they are too high when they don't need to be.

in other news....I can't play Tank or Tanky DPS anymore and it makes me sad..

I seem to only be able to play 2 roles at a time...because before I could only play AP casters and Tanky DPS...then I started playing Ranged AD and I was horribad at it but I really wanted to learn Vayne/Ezreal so I kept trying and then when I finally became good at it I went and played a game with Irelia (before the second nerf) and got super ***** like 2 games in a row

so with that being said I'm probably going to stop trying to "fill the team role" of whatevers missing because if I can't play tank and then I go tank...I'm not really helping the team imo.

is spectator mode up yet? in custom games? totally need to start Commentating LoL matches

uh, I can share my xsplit settings with you when I get home, but I'm not really a streaming guru so I can't give you general tips aside from that really.

my theory is:

up until level 30: play as many different champs as you can and try to learn what they all do.
after level 30: commit yourself to as few champs as you can without getting bored/*********** and seriously master them
after 1500 elo: broaden your horizons again and play a ton of champs, you should be good enough to handle it at this point. whenever you lose a few in a row, go back to one of the guys you mastered before to get your confidence back, but don't lapse into just playing within your comfort zone again.
after 1800: play nothing but Jarman w/e secretly OP champ just came out to powerlevel your elo.
after 2100: :troll: :teemo: :troll: :teemo: :troll:

not up yet. they'll make a big deal about it, promise.

I have this feeling that, despite my amazing performance with Leona, I am drastically overrating her.

But then I look at her W with 40% CDR and I don't think it's possible to overrate her. 8|

I LOVED playing AP teemo back when there were roaming evelynns all over the place (and any time I see a twitch)

It's so hilarious when they are trying to stalk around and eat a massive teemo shroom to their face.
