Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Mogwai]

You would do that when you don't have a golem buff and probably won't build roa?

well, it's pretty rare that you're not expected to ***** blue buff as an AP Carry.

either way, I would, but not everyone would. I've cut all mana regen out of all of my specs and just focused on more judicious use of my spells, but seals are probably the most flexible runes for mages and you can make the call based on preference.

 

[DMG]

Also depends on the caster. No point in having mana regen runes on Ryze, but someone like Anivia could certainly appreciate them.

 

[jpak]

I thought he was talking about TT so no mana regen buff

 

[Omni]

What are the biggest differences between SR and TT? I know it's 3v3, but that's about it.

 

[john!]

only use mana regen runes on people who don't get blue buff

my four mage pages are combinations of mpen reds, flat armor OR health/level yellows, flat mres OR ap/level blues, and flat ap quints

 

[DMG]

Is he not asking about TT?

I dunno.


Omni: There are a lot of differences. The map itself is shorter, more walls to leap through/more walls clustered together, the biggest objective on that map is dragon, red buff is centralized and is a common fight objective at earlier levels, more focus on jungle control, etc.

As far as gameplay differences, characters that dominate earlier in the game or are mid game monsters tend to be stronger here than on 5's. Characters that are naturally tanky, bursty, have strong CC, strong mobility, etc starting off tend to be solid. Most ranged carries aren't popular here because they tend not to be able to offer a team much besides damage later on (they don't contribute to winning early significantly). It's also harder to farm safely because of how interconnected the jungle is and because the "farming" phase is much shorter in 3's than 5's. There is no "go top lane farm 10 minutes push mid" kind of deal unless the other team is ******** and isn't getting Dragon/ganking you/doing something substantial.

 

[fkacyan]

I seriously hate the chinese art for this game. There are only a couple that I actually like better.

The American art is garbage.

 

[sheikamaru]

i <3 riven. that is all. if you look at my match histories i've been playing nothing but her so i can buy her. to finish off her build i need health regen quints which cost 2k... so blah. i'm almost at 6.3

 

[Mogwai]

I thought he was talking about TT so no mana regen buff

oh, for some reason I read those as separate thoughts (the TT and Morgana thoughts that is). On TT... hmmm, dunno, I usually end up stacking a bunch of doran's and building a morello's or DFG on that map anyway (to make up for blue), so mana still doesn't bug me there, but I play Karma on that map, so I can get away with a janky build like that. on a more standard caster, I dunno, guess you have to plan your runes around your build.

The American art is garbage.

Yea and most anime sucks.

It's all a matter of preference.

 

[Wave⁂]

Sure, you can say art is a matter of preference, and that liking stuff is subjective, but in reality nothing is completely subjective. Everything can be at least somewhat objectively judged.

Also, most anime does suck, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.
I'm guessing you've never heard of Sturgeon's Law?

 

[Mogwai]

this isn't the anime discussion thread, I'm just pointing out that I dislike the chinese art and don't understand why anyone's giving me a hard time about it when it's a matter of preference.

and really, all judgement is subjective. you can describe things objectively, but the nature of applauding or condemning it for what it is is completely subjective.

 

[Virgilijus]

Yea and most anime sucks.

Sturgeon's Law agrees with this statement.

 

[jiovanni007]

I thought he was talking about TT so no mana regen buff

I guess I was pretty ambiguous but I was talking about SR. I've had the mp5/lvl since I was summoner 20 because I was a noob that spammed spells every time they were off of cd. Now that more so do this

VVVVVVVVVV

just focused on more judicious use of my spells,

I need to cut the mp5/lvl yellows that I have leftover. I'm thinking hp/lvl. ~180 hp at lvl 18 seems pretty legit. either that or flat armor to deal with ranged carries that happen to go mid. Still unsure though.

@Anime argument: Opinions are subjective. Arguments based on subjective opinions never really get very far.

edit: How do people feel about Xerath? I think I missed that convo. I outlane them as Morg, but in teamfights that thing ****ing bi.

 

[Mogwai]

there is no anime argument, I was just saying some ludicrously subjective opinion to point out the the chinese vs. american art thing isn't really worth arguing about like it's going to get somewhere.

I HATE HP/level seals, but to each his own I guess.

 

[fkacyan]

Yea and most anime sucks.

It's all a matter of preference.

It's odd you make reference to anime in this case when the Chinese art is infinitely more realistic and less anime-ish than the American art.

Most entertainment in general is trash, and anime is no exception.

 

[Coney]

was there a normal elo reset?

like i don't mean to brag but i'm a pretty good player, not amazing but definitely way above average. i can play one or two characters well enough that cover every role in the game, so i'm pretty well-rounded

so why is it that i am literally running into nothing but auto-lock carries every single game? and they're not even GOOD with the carries, they just end up going 1/5 or some **** before the phase even ends. this problem mostly only comes up when i duo-queue (with a SPECIFIC friend, no less) but its been happening way more often to me lately

i had a good normal elo cause that's all i ever really played, i don't play ranked specifically so i can avoid this bull**** effecting me permanently, but i've gone from +200 to about +165 in two weeks from having Godawful teams

wtf is going on

 

[john!]

I HATE HP/level seals, but to each his own I guess.

why is that? they are better than armor seals if your build already has more armor than hp (or if you're up against another caster who will deal mostly magic damage in lane).

 

[PhantomX]

I don't believe Normal ELO has been reset.

 

[Wave⁂]

I'd say that scaling HP sucks because at low levels it doesn't do much and at high levels you'll get bursted down in half a second if you're squishy anyway, and if you're not squishy the small amount of HP it gives is trivial.

But that's just what I think other people think.

 

[jiovanni007]

I HATE HP/level seals, but to each his own I guess.

I feel the same way but it seems to be the only other logical choice besides armor. I'll probably just go with armor though. Thanks everyone.

 

[PhantomX]

Zac, how/where did you get and listen to Bob's music list? I want it.

 

[UTDZac]

He's working on making his playlist available on his website, www.guardsmanbob.com , but until then I use this.

 

[Turazrok]

Rawr my client is so broken lmao.

Wont let me get on chat on my main and blackscreens my game on my smurf

 

[PhantomX]

He's working on making his playlist available on his website, www.guardsmanbob.com , but until then I use this.

This will do very nicely <3

 

[Omni]

Came home. Got my Mac Champ Stuffs!

Anivia, Blitzcrank, Corki, Dr. Mundo, Heimerdinger, Jax, Karthus, Kassadin, Katarina, Nunu,Shaco, Singed, Sion, Soraka, Taric, Twisted Fate, Twitch.

TOO MANY O_O

Blitz, Heimer, Karthus, Shaco, Singed, Heimer, and Jax make me excited.

 

[MacD]

so apparently you can stun someone 3 times with xerath's ult

idk if this is an oversight or how they planned it, but talk about keeping someone out of a fight, like geez

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

how does one perform xerath's triple stun?

 

[DMG]

?
???

Triple Stun? You'd got to be joking

That is definitely not their design/intention.

My guess is that because his ult hits 3 separate times, it doesn't count each spell as "different" for proccing. Like if Ryze did E and it bounced, and each bounce would stun.

Either way, that's Bull**** if it's true and makes him incredibly ********.

^^^

that's basically what we came up with too

wonder when it'll get hot fixed

 

[DMG]

How does it work? Tried a variety of things and didn't seem to work.

 

[MacD]

not really sure. he would just mark the guy and then use his ult 3 times and he'd stay stunned

maybe it's been fixed, but i swear that's what happened

 

[DMG]

...

That depends. The way his stun normally works does allow you to get every single hit of Ult off with the person stunned the entire time. What I don't get when trying to get multiple stuns is a stun after the last ult hit.

 

[Scamp]

Blitz, Heimer, Karthus, Shaco, Singed, Heimer, and Jax make me excited.

Sounds like someone is going to play Dominion!

 

[Zero_Gamer]

So, do people still refuse to come near considering Malphite in serious games? He seems very strong, particularly as an off-tank.

 

[Wave⁂]

I think it's still a case of "why play Malphite when you can play X".

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I used to think like that about Malphite, but idk anymore. I like him.

 

[DMG]

Ryze

Play more Ryze

That is the answer to life

 

[Pakman]

Malphite is probably one of the best tanks against AD heavy teams.

 

[BSL]

Ryze

Play more Ryze

That is the answer to life

Eyes on the Ryze, gentlemen. Eyes on the Ryze.

Yeah, **** Rammus
