Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Rad]

I have no idea what to do once the first tower goes down. I become useless at that point. Advice?

Am I the only one that's been in a game where jpak carried hard and was the only reason we won?

Depends what lane, what character matchup is, what is going on elsewhere on the map, etc.

And which tower went down, your team's or your opponent's.

This only occurs when the other team has players worse than me, a rare occasion.

 

[Turazrok]

Nasus tweaks have left him very strong imo.

I don't think he's op, but if left unchecked he snowballs hard into late game.

 

[Leacero]

that happened with brand ult too, but i thought they fixed it? it was in the patch notes somewhere

happened yesterday so either they didn't fix it or they lied :<

yes


also after reading the odd one interview, listening to jpak constant admonition, and hearing about elementz: swf should make a serious tryhard 5s team.

i can head it if you guys want and do all the organizing, at least for now, cause it seems like that was the problem before when the suggestion was brought up.

DD, if we make a legit team with smashers, you might not make the cut :O

 

[tarmacker]

I carry you guys with #1 support np np np

[-Vocal-]

I don't troll, I am just a bad player

lies, so many lies

Am I the only one that's been in a game where jpak carried hard and was the only reason we won?

Naw, I've seen it, I've just also seen him demolishing our own team with champs he doesn't play , aka feeding

 

[jpak]

You guys will need multiple teams, because there is a big gap in skill levels. No point in dragging down a team like when I play with you guys

 

[Deleted member]

i'd be down to join maybe if i level up a smurf only if:

1. NO RAGERS
2. no raging
3. u guys let me go top chogath every game

It doesn't matter, I still wouldn't know. Once the laning phase is over the game opens up and becomes a lot more complicated. I can dominate my scrubby level 13 normal queue opponents with double their CS, a kill, and the tower because I vaguely understand what I'm supposed to be doing, but after that I'm in the deep end. Do I like... gank another lane? Spam ping Dragon? I can't just keep pushing or I'll get killed.

Specifics aside, what are your general goals for that point in the game and how do you achieve them?

I AM A SCRUB AND EVERYTHING I JUST SAID WAS STUPID FYI

 

[Deleted member]

<333333 lol you got this nick!!!!! just destroy everyone



aww maaaaaaaaaaaannnnn. that means i can't go irelia top

thats ok i can go chogath mid

 

[PhantomX]

Or Chogath jungle, or support chogath bottom. CHOGATH ALL THE TIME, BABY.

 

[JTB]

once i get better internet and i don't worry about 15 second disconnects, i would be down for a team

rumble top all day ery day

 

[arch knight]

btw one champ players won't be successful ~_~

whatchu talkin bout Jpak?
Olaf can tank, gank, Dps, and Support -lolz-
he is successful!

 

[KevinM]

Then they ban him.. is more what he was getting at.

That or they pick your olaf to deny you

 

[arch knight]

but but...his dad owns a dealership

 

[DanGR]

I wanna be on a team! But I also wanna be the worst one on the team, and play only support and Nidalee/Poppy.

 

[PsychoMidget]

i'd be down if the other 4 smashers i play with don't always get horribly **** rocked

not me bro!!1

 

[jpak]

For those interested, I will likely be able to stream in a week, just in time for WCG Canada semi-finals

 

[Shaya]

Rad, you go gank other lanes and push their towers, once their towers are down you generally have the power to group push stronger than teh enemy team can defend.
Win fights that eventually come and get dragon/baron, rinse repeat till game over.

 

[Pikaville]

Can anyone offer me some good tips on Brand?

I really really like how he plays.

I'm just finding it hard to find a clear role for him.

Like should I always just support our tank early game?

Then when I get strong enough is it wise to go out on my own?

Any help would be fantastic.

I know his combo of Q>E>W>R is his max damage combo and he has an easy stun combo too of E>Q.

 

[straight8]

yeah i dont think enough people actually want to play on the team or or want to win and get better..

-playing on a team would mean not raging but still being honest with each other
-it would also mean being serious enough to play every champion in your role or roles well

but ppl dont want too much pressure and dont want commitment, or want to just troll around too much. ah well

 

[Duff0]

im up for something like that straight. add me ingame duff0

 

[NJzFinest]

I wanna be this guy:

Regi is pretty beast with Brand

 

[ArcNatural]

Had fun duoing with Frolossus last night, 2 wins away from exceeding 1250 elo.

Taric + Any AD with stun has always benefit from how well Taric synergizes with AD (Garen is also stupid effective with silence, but he dropped off lategame which may not be the case anymore). If his "utility" improvements help him out late game he may be pretty viable as a AD ranged + support counter bot with Taric (like how Brand has been used).

I feel I really need help understanding Lee Sin's itemization approach when jungling. He just feels so lackluster compared to Trundle. I have a lot of issues with team fights and energy so if anyone has a good idea of how I should be using him in team fights I'd appreciate it.

TL/DR: I do fine Jungling + first few ganks with Lee Sin, Drop off quickly once people have items and team fights start. Looking for pointers.

Anyone?

Also, for people that typically play with me, you should just straight up say what I do wrong most of the time, or what I do that annoys you during games. Would like to focus on what other people say I should get better at versus what I think I need to get better at.

 

[UTDZac]

Dan, I shall make a team and you shall be on it. Mogwai can join to. I'll take tryouts and get things going after Season 1. I'll find us some teams to scrim against as well, that's the best way to get better.

@Arc, I run 21/0/9 and I typically spec Wriggles + Merc Treads as core on jungle lee sin. After that, get Negatron cloak if they have two strong AP champs. If not, get Chain Mail if they have two strong AD champs. If not, buy Brutalizer. Eventually convert Negatron into Force of Nature and Chain Mail into Atma's. Next grab a Phage. Then choose between Tri Force / Frozen Mallet / Randuin's Omen / Force of Nature #2 depending on their team comp.

Alternatively, you can run Mogwai's standard Warmogs + Atma's + Force of Nature build.

Look up my game history and check my items and such.

 

[KevinM]

Zac if you honestly get that going I'd be interested in trying out to play or at least alt on that team .

 

[UTDZac]

Chaox plays SC2 and League at same time...

[Espy Rose]

Any of you guys (Zac, Kevin, Moggy in particular) have any thoughts on a proper Rammus rune build for jungling?

Right now I'm using flat armor seals and scaling mana regen glyphs, and once I can afford it, I'll snatch up the last two flat health quints, but what do I do for the marks?

I've run up and down several threads on the LoL forums, moba guides, etc, and I'm getting (1) armorpen (2) attack speed, and in minor cases, (3) magic pen.

I haven't used magic penetration yet, but I've played a ton with armor pen and just recently gave attack speed a shot, and I have no idea which one I should prioritize. I've found that attack speed helps me clear jungle faster, but armor pen helps with early game ganks (I think).

Typically I just try to support and not go for the kill myself (obviously), but I'm not sure whether or not the AS or armorpen will do that job more efficiently. Above that, being able to speed through the jungle is my #1 priority.

So...uh, help would be appreciated.
Of course, I'll take anyone's opinion on the matter if they have one.

Also, is there any alternative for Cloth Armor + 5 drink that would be about as effective?
Before I had the runes to take out blue and red, I started at mini golems and would have my philosopher's stone pretty early.

I guess I'm just unsure of how to deal with the change. I'm still kinda not used to the Cloth Armor setup.

 

[@TKbreezy]

Weirdly enough I never get to play with Anyone from SWF

which sucks because I always want to...I'm tired of solo queue (even though it has done me pretty well ranked except yesterday...3 straight losses. back to 1575ish elo)

I'm on between the times of
4:15-11:00 Pm on Weekdays and spordically on weekends (but usually around noonish)

and all I can seem to play lately is Annie Kennen and Orianna....lol I think im just going to pick up every AP caster in the game and see how that fits me.
