Gotta love that randomized Normal Queue

 

[solecalibur]

They nerf'd support since the heals kept ppl in lane to long and they wanted the game to look more entertaining to watch in short. Which im ok with but taric got buff'd imo

 

[Espy Rose]

I refuse to believe that was random, Zac.

 

[MacD]

i blame dphat's normal ELO

it was fun though. it's a nice feeling to get outplayed as opposed to just have people be complete dumb***es

 

[PhantomX]

You guys did well, actually. Played safe when we were out of sight and all that jazz.

Urgot needed to farm more while pushing Akali off his lane. That's all I can really think of off the top of my head.

EDIT: I can never see when Zac posts pics. I just get a sadface icon o_O

 

[Vyke]

They said they were giving Taric a new ultimate sometime after this patch, I think. I'm glad Supports have been brought down a peg, stale gameplay man.

I've never had any problems with Xin, but apparently those guys under 1000s really do?

I'm so angry at my computer right now for making me miss this game.
Ugh.
Getting Thermal compound tomorrow.

Then back to the league.
-DD

 

[Espy Rose]

I'm still upset that I can't play LoL anytime I'm at school.
...which is practically all week now.

 

[Shaya]

1. Play Shaco
2. Have fun.
3. Maybe win game, maybe don't
4. A pleasant experience

Nids nerfs make shaco more viable. Because ****ing hell I hate spending 2k+ gold on a phantom dancer so she can't outrun me.

 

[PhantomX]

KPrime was also in that normal with us Was a pretty amusing coincidence that none of us was expecting. Haha, so many non-mains.

Also Zac doesn't show endgame scores b/c he went like 4-10

Next time tho, ultimate bravery for real.

Occasionally i get knocked up by xin (and xin only) for a good 6 seconds while being targettable. so hopefully they fixed that while they were at it as that was my only issue with xin.



also 4-7-35 shen in an hour long game. was able to build ninja tabi/warmogs/banshees/sunfire/aegis/FoN off 2 <20 CS as a duo lane champ. it feels good to have 4700 hp and massive damage reduction. and dodge for that vayne/kayle combo.

 

[@TKbreezy]

so I picked up renekton but I don't feel like I'm doing enough damage...and Idk why because I feel like I'm using a pretty effective build (maybe wrong though)

9/21/0 masteries
Ghost/Exhaust

Armor Pen reds, Health/lvl yellows Cooldown/lvl blues Armor Pen Quints

Dorans Shield -> CDR boots -> Brutalizer -> sunfire cape -> FoN -> yomuus -> black cleaver

yes?

no?

I feel like Flat Armor and Flat MR is better on him so you don't get bullied in lane and you can harrass better. Especially if your solo top. Don't know why you would need Health/lvl yellows when his Q heals him + his ultimate.

Shield is solid, but I think cloth + 5pots is better if your up against a sustain lane that you think you can be aggressive on. Since you can turn it into wriggles and prolong your laning as well + free ward top.

 

[UTDZac]

I refuse to believe that was random, Zac.

I swear we didn't plan it. It was the best surprise getting to the loading screen and seeing Dphat playing Kayle.

EDIT: I can never see when Zac posts pics. I just get a sadface icon o_O

As a last resort, you can quote me, copy the image url, and paste it in your browser. I use a program that makes taking pictures of my screen so easy, it's not even funny.

Also Zac doesn't show endgame scores b/c he went like 4-10

Well mostly I just wanted to highlight the fact that we had a game where both teams knew each other. So I screenshotted only the part with the players names and the end game IP/XP gains. If it was custom we would have gained less.

Also,

Starcraft but still LoL related: http://i.imgur.com/gzyJz.jpg

[@TKbreezy]

^LMAOOOO I'm trying that.

 

[JTB]

ahahahahha that is amazing

 

[PhantomX]

Best part is that it was in ranked.

@Zac - you know I'm just giving you crap

 

[UTDZac]

I know. I was intentionally face checking that game and doing stupid crap.

That first blood on the ashe... idk man... there's no way that happened... lol

EDIT:

Lee Sin true team player calls mia. Mid lane backs up, sees no one

Lee Sin true team player calls mia. Mid lane backs up, sees no one

Lee Sin true team player calls mia. Mid lane says lee sin cry wolf, doesn't back up.

First blood

Lee Sin sad

its not that your doing enough. Its more of that ren is basicly a balance char and is not op in any way like those other who can basically 3 hit people

cough cough jax xin tryn gp

 

[Pikaville]

I love going dorans>boots>dorans x2 early.

Makes life as Brand a lot easier.

 

[Frolossus]

apparently they lowered the medals? can anyone confirm yet?

 

[PhantomX]

Was about to make a post about that...

Lolwut? Why would they drop it by 300, when silver is at 1495?

 

[Ignatius]

Uh oh, time for me to play ranked and get gold. Step 1, find out how to not get bored 3 minutes into a game.

 

[PhantomX]

Guess I get my ugly Jarvan skin!

 

[Frolossus]

think i have to win another 2 games now to hit gold :/

 

[Ignatius]

Guess I get my ugly Jarvan skin!

Do you have a link for what it looks like?

 

[PhantomX]

It's last page somewhere or 2 pages ago where I linked it. Art looks awesome, in-game model looks blegh.

No way I can lose the gold either, just have to play one ranked a week.

This has gotta suck for those that grinded to 1875, but is totally in Riot's M.O. of helping out the more casual players. That said, it's still only like top 10k players or so that get Gold, and 2k or so that get Platinum, so if u think about that in the numbers of how many players they actually have, it's not too ridiculous.

[Ignatius]

Wow, that looks horrendous. I must have it.

 

[PhantomX]

It looks even worse in game, rofl.

 

[UTDZac]

Iggy, this isn't the pool rool...

Lol

yeah in-game it looks ugly.

 

[Ignatius]

I know Juan, I went back and saw the in game model, it's absolutely awful.

Also, had I not let my elo decay I'd only need one win instead of like 12. Balls.

 

[MacD]

pft, missed this whole page

 

[Turazrok]

Need solo queue partner now

 

[Ignatius]

Zacs first link lists the requirements, 1520 for gold.

 

[PhantomX]

The actual elo reset is pretty massive too. Top of the curve gets bumped down all the way to 1490...

Still gonna be worthwhile to wait a month or so before jumping into ranked again.

The smallest range is now for silver, with Gold and Platinum having the widest.

 

[UTDZac]

They recognize the difficulty of ELO hell, so they make it easier to get gold and that jarv skin

which is
0-900 or 900-1200 or 1200-1400 or 1400-1600 or 1600-1800 or 1800-2400

go ranked!

 

[HondaFoo]

the heimer one was awesome. the trist one was lol.

edit: hey hondafoo this is really cool by the way
