And he has a silence.

I disagree with Akali beating Singed though. ::shrug::

 

[Zolga Owns]

Fiddlesticks is fun. Especially when I accidentally click my ult and teleport over a wall to kill a recalling lee sin.

 

[jiovanni007]

So uh. I'm averaging 15 kills in ranked soloqueue atm with Akali.


For all you guys complaining about random scrubs in your games, get decent with her and it's super easy. You CAN carry 4 idiots that all go negative by like 7 deaths.


Btw, she beats Singed.

I actually bought her just for this reason. But scrubs pick her though. If they call her and you pick her what happens?

Then they'll either dodge, ragefeed, or get over it and get carried.

She does beat Singed top though, especially at 6-11, especially with Jungle help. You'll need to build a Hextech revolver before you do anything to him though, or his residual damage will pile up faster than you can heal off.

When I have free time again I'm going to go Akali so hard it won't even be funny.

[PhantomX]

Needing jungle help isn't beating someone.

 

[Coney]

Btw, she beats Singed.

wow really?

i think singed wins top against her pretty handily tbh but what do i know

>.>? No one said need.
But obviously things go much better with Jungle support.
Like getting kills instead of just running him out of lane.

=P

Lee sin destroys junglers who don't expect him to counter jungle. And such.

 

[PhantomX]

Yes... a 1900 Lee Sin will definitely destroy 1200 baddies, lol.

 

[DanGR]

Yes... a Lee Sin will definitely destroy, lol.

Fiiiiiiixeeeed

 

[Mogwai]

What did you do, is the question?

nothing out of the ordinary tbh. I don't take **** from people though I guess is my main problem. Like, I don't care if you're Dyrus, that doesn't mean everything you do is right and if you're a **** to me when I make the right play and you make the wrong one, I will still call you on it.

 

[Wobbles]

I dunno about Akali beating Singed. You can semi-deny her last hits by dropping little poison ticks on creeps, and fling her when she autoattacks you to proc her Qs damage so you force her to draw creep aggro. She takes a lot of damage from you running and juking her in the bushes top lane lets you build damage safely.

I just beat an Akali WITH GP ganks purely with how I used bushes during their ganks and by forcing them to take creep damage when they couldn't afford to. I didn't even open with DShield even though it probably would have been a smarter choice.

 

[Shaya]

I was first pick, so I wanted to go Ezreal. And I took mid.
My last pick was so angry after being like 'nooo ez, noob noob' that at 11 minutes I had 95 cs and 2 kills that he actually quit the game.

I held in that game as long as I could.... had like 400 cs... but couldn't win 4v5
trolls are no.1

I hate being first pick, and I hate people that are so ****ed up on their egos that they refuse to let a "UP character" carry them / take mid and dominate. I take the same **** every time I want to solo with pantheon, but I never get people purposely quitting the game on me like I do with Ezreal.

tl;dr If I'm first pick and I want to set myself up to be able to carry a game (instead of taking a ****ty duo lane) with my best character, I get trolled by *******s nearly every ****ing time.

Does anyone know the number of actual placement matches? Is it 10 total or is the number different?

Also, DMG... that melee combo vid = I came.

this isn't starcraft, there are no placement matches. K value just has a factor based on your number of games played, which artificially inflates the first 100 games or so to varying degrees (first games are +/-50, 25th game is like +/-20, by 100th game you're around the +/-11-14 that we're all used to from season 1).

Oh ok, that's what I was curious about.

@Zac - Boots of Swiftness Cho. I sad.

I think singed probably wins pre-6 with that strat. I've just been farming with Qs and letting him push to my tower with the poison to deny me creeps.

After that, however, Akali seems to trade a lot better. Not to mention hextech sustain is mad good. (nerf plz) The trick is to proc Q just before the debuff runs out so you can do your Q->autoattack combo twice in one big burst so you only trade with one fling-> poison combo. And placing shroud down after the fling is a solid way to deal with creep aggro.

Not trying to use any appeal-to-authority fallacies, but I've heard some top players say Akali beats Singed too. :X


I could be wrong. Seems pretty onesided tho.

 

[Wave⁂]

So I heard you guys like Ninetales

Also my Dominion record is 9 wins and 1 loss (not counting games not in my match history), I love how people suck at this

 

[UTDZac]

I can't believe you were still watching

sometimes man... sometimes...

 

[jiovanni007]

Morgana? More like Lessgana, that ***** is always banned now.

 

[bassem6]

My ranked winstreak is currently powerful enough to withstand AD Janna screaming "I go mid or feed" in champ select. From <1400 to 1626 without a loss.

Lol. My roommate and his friend duoq'd and were on your team for that match. Roommate was the alistar and friend was jungler(gp?) I think. That was FUNNY. You got some nice flips

On a different note, cassieopia(sp?) is like...a lot better than I envisioned her being. Been carrying with her!

 

[Deleted member]

singed loses top to some chars

then farms 5 more minutes than usual

 

[SirKyoshi]

anyone on eu west that wants to play, add me, Kyoshi123

 

[Cia]

Not that this skin is all that great, but why don't we have it?

 

[DarkDragoon]

Not that this skin is all that great, but why don't we have it?

I think people have been trying to get that to be added for a while now.

And that was the first fully customized skin, iirc, so that's a pretty important skin, period.

[Dekar173]

koreans are the new brazilians

 

[Shaya]

maybe the Brazilians were the Koreans all along.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I just had an epicly close Dominion game. We ended up losing 0-3.

 

[Omni]

I had a Dominion game where we were at like 3 points and the other team was at like 30.

Neither of us decided to give up for the longest and we kept like recpaturing each other's bases almost simultaneously with us keeping 3 bases for literally only a few seconds.

Fun stuff.

 

[Shaya]

are people still finding dominion fun?

Maybe the strategies have developed but I mostly found it completely.... chaotic and repetitive...

Send someone super-sturdy solo bot, then send 2 top, and 2 tippity-top!
Then if you get control of the top-most point, play defense since you're up 3-2.

Then kill people.
-DD

 

[PhantomX]

The chaos is part of the fun. And legendary Maokai.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I keep getting **** teams in Dominion though... Every single game im top 3, usually #1 or #2 or the team, and yet I cant win any lately -_____-

 

[Espy Rose]

Shaya must be playing with bad people on Dominion.

And PX is right. Maan and I played a game where we had a random Maokai down bottom. Kept it in lock all day.

I also tried Poppy on holding bot. Managed to actually push against an Alistar and capture his point.
...pretty sure the Ali was bad.

The best feeling in Dominion is controlling all five areas, and watching that counter drop so many tasty points per second.

 

[Maaaaaaaaaan]

I think the most fun part of Dominion is how the game's never really over. (Unless it's 200-10 or something)

Make up for a mistake made, and the game shifts back into your favor, unlike watching someone get 10 kills in 20 minutes of Classic and silently raging for the next 20.

That said, I like going back and forth between the two. Classic and Dominion are different enough to each have their merits without hurting each other.


My furry loins can't wait for my avy to be playable.

Utd play with me : D

 

[solecalibur]

Honestly think swf doesn't like dominon cause there isnt a shaped meta yet and everyone keeps saying "tanky dps" "backdoor" but doesn't learn how to counter it. It isnt that difficult.

Still summoners rift > dominon regardless
