Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Mogwai]

does anyone have a full list of Skills Teemo's blinding dart effects?

like I know it causes Trundles Q to miss but what about stuff like Miss Fortunes Q

or Nasus Q?

if it's a straight attack modifier, it'll miss, if it's not, it won't.

in other words, if you hit the skill and then right click to use it, it's an attack modifier, whereas if you target the skill, it's not.

Attack Modifiers:
Nasus Q
Trundle Q
Renek W
TF W
etc

Not Attack Modifiers:
Ez Q
GP Q
Irelia Q
MF Q
etc

The only one I'm not really sure about is TF's W, because iirc it has really weird mechanics and I don't think it can miss, even through a blind now.

You keep using that word.

K now I understand why Teemo super ****s on Nasus. that matchups gotta be like 90-10 regardless of level.

So in about a week or two from now I need to have like a gazillion junglers under my belt.

Learning phoenix udyr atm. Is tiger udyr worth learning (I've done it before, its less learning and more getting used to it) at all? What situations would you go tiger over phoenix?
Anything special I should know about his ganking? Phoenix is a little hard to pull off because of the 3 hit requirement.

I'm not sure whether or not I could get used to Lee Sin in time, but I should probably get competent with him as well. Is there a guide out there for how to properly manage his passive + timing of second ability use? It's kinda like Udyr's phoenix to turtle stance but a lot more variables, so I'm not entirely sure.

I've never jungle rammus'd before, but I'll probably make him the last learning requirement. Any recommended recent guides? Chaox' one is I think is like.. before jungle nerfs or something.

Hopefully Noct/Udyr/Shaco/Fiddle/GP + Udyr/Lee/Rammus will cover me. I assume teams will probably ban Noct against me or FP him (Noct is a pretty common pick in the aussie meta from what I've seen).

PHX Udyr Jungle is pretty strong atm for the clear times and counterjungling capabilities. I still think even with PHX jungling you only do 3 points in PHX before going back to Tiger for damage unless you plan on strong pushing or split pushing games, although someone better than me should probably confirm that.

Rammus I go Mogwai's full Armor jungle rune set, which lets you start regrowth for a fast philo. I actually think Jarvan/Amumu are a stronger picks in competitive play for tanky jungle ganks than Rammus though. I'm really not sure why you would consider learning Rammus over Amumu unless your only considering push team comps. Flash initiate with Q + cry peeling capabilities too good.

Lee Sin's jungling is incredibly easy and effective. But if you need to practice him in a short period of time practice the routes, you have the right idea about the passive. Once you have those down I would solo top him a few times to get an idea of how to fight skirmishes with him without freaking out and messing up the passive.

I know nasus' Q still hits 100% even against a spell sheild
and that **** makes me a =< noc

not really, people are so bad at this game that really bad matchups are winnable by pure suckage

You broke the rules. You aren't supposed to acknowledge him.

Who the **** are you?

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Brawl is very easy, but I can't beat *insert pro here*.
League of Legends is very easy, but I can't beat *insert pro here*.

Always room to improve, but the initial learning curve is totes flat.

 

[DanGR]

He literally does.

 

[Turazrok]

Then you shouldn't be where you are ^^

Referring to technical skill jpak. I maybe should've been clearer. OBV there is something else but learning to how use champs abilities is not hard at all. Knowing when, where, why, memorizing cds, routes, etc ad infinitum is something different.

this is what i thought you'd say.



and this is what i would have replied.

you think you're a lot better than you actually are, turaz

I think we talked twice and I have never claimed to be good anywhere in this thread in a serious manner. (May have joked about having godlike xxx champ when I did insert awesome thing here)

Depends. He could have been talking in general like Dota/HoN has a higher skill ceiling for their champs/compared to other Games LoL is easy. Not "I'm the ****in **** and can play every character at a good level"

Also true. See Invoker, Chen.

I think there is a lot of misconceptions with the skill ceiling in this game.

For pretty much all champions save straight up skillshot champions, it's easy to learn and understand how to champs work and understand their skills.

The real skill in this game is about positioning, timing, and awareness (imo as a low elo player take for what's worth).

Some champs have this easier in others in this regards such as Annie can simply blow her combo whenever and its pretty easy to be safe or at least covered somewhat by your team whenever you do it unless your really stupid.

Then you have champs that need to be more cautious about how they blow their rotations, because they can be stopped much easier.

So it's easier to understand the champs specifically, but using them to best benefit the team, bait, get organized is a completely different task entirely.

This guy got what I meant.

i spent like 30 minutes last night practicing in practice mode. i've never done that before. it was peaceful, but at the same time insanely frustrating (i was practicing last-hitting with swain, which is extremely annoying, try it sometime).

Last hitting animations does not nearly makes as big a difference in LoL as it does in HoN/DotA

EDIT FOR CLARITY: You are welcome to disagree with my analysis but all criticism seems to be at my skill level, not the opinion I provided, IF you want to disagree please be specific as to why.

That's literally a very literal definition for the word "literally".

kassadin too gud

 

[Mogwai]

Kass and I will forever have a love/hate relationship.

 

[solecalibur]

Ive been beatin on those free kassadins with malzahar, let it be skill or that its free week. Smart cast Malz OP

 

[Circa]

What is everyone's thoughts on Nunu?

Since his jungling got nerfed I hadn't even considered using him, but he just kinda popped into my head yesterday and I started to wonder how he'd do top lane. I know his overall usefulness kinda fades off quickly, but I feel like that's a bit of a trend among current top laners anyway. So idk.

If nothing else he always has a potentially game-changing ult and an awesome Ranged DPS buff, amirite?

I love fighting Malz as Kass, wait to see the E and cast Q at em right as the ult starts. Travel time silence too good.

 

[Omni]

If you do Nunu's Ult in a bush, can the enemy see the circle?

I jungles Nunu with Veigar. Event Horizon + Ult = mmmm.

 

[DanGR]

If you do Nunu's Ult in a bush, can the enemy see the circle?

Nope, but they see themselves getting slowed.

 

[Wave⁂]

Nunu's total AP ratio is 3.5, therefore he must be OP

 

[DallasPhat]

You're all bad.
Unfriending everyone in this thread.

 

[PhantomX]

Me too, Dphat?

Also, Iggy, got my free swag for the big 100 without a hitch

Nice, grats.

I just saw the showcase and that picture really was amazing.

Also. Janna is AMAZING. the thing is, If your entire team is losing, there's nothing that you can do to fix it. As Janna, you kind of have to rely on your team to be competent enough to make it to the late game where you become the most ridiculous support there is.

Also. I feel like Dual Support teams are the best thing that no one's doing (at least in Solo Queue) I just did Nasus top, Gangplank jungle, Janna mid, Soraka and Sion bot. And we stomped so. ****ing. hard. Nasus and GP just could not die.

 

[DallasPhat]

Dual support was so spring 2010.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

ap sion doesn't do too well vs a lot of ranged ad carries so... I dunno about that

not to mention he NEEDS levels even more than other ap casters

 

[jpak]

what ap casters need less levels than sion

 

[DMG]

Leblanc

vs other casters lol

 

[john!]

the next champion is an outlaw and the rival of twisted fate. looks like a old west style ranged carry.

So does this mean a delay on Nine-Tailed Fox Lady T.T

speaking of sneak peeks, if you look in front of the house in the background of this pic (official art)... it looks like a new janna skin.
