ooo SWF LoL tournament, support main here up for grabs tekekeke

 

[Wrath`]

I would be willing to join a LOL tournament. Team Pokecenter needs to happen.

 

[Circa]

Aw hell yeah team PokeCenter.

We'd be so bad though. I'm not even lvl 20 yet, and Wave isn't lvl 30 lolz.

Then we'd still be one short if we grabbed NakataYuji...unless Tery actually does play? We could use him then. Iunno.

We'd still be bad though.

 

[solecalibur]

Im an Ad carry / Support main when it comes to pre arrange 5s
I dont mind joinin a team or so in swf
Probly can use the vent channel by buddy has since im gettin a new(er) mic tomorrow

 

[Nuris]

I main at being awful and secondaries unintentionally feeding and making my team lose.

 

[Omni]

Clearly SWF LoL Tournament Draft Mode.

 

[Pakman]

I'd be down for a swf LoL tournament. We should probably bring this up in the swf chatroom.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I'm pretty good at spinning.

Some other Smasher friends of mine are wanting to do a for-fun tournament on, like, the 2nd if anyone's interested. That might be too soon for y'all though.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I play pretty much half the cast but am best with Riven/Lux/Blitz/Kayle

 

[Shaya]

riven is secret OP.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Riven is EFFING good right now, but I wouldnt say OP.

And Lux is soooo underrated right now. She's not broken nor as good as the likes of Karthus and friends, but shes solid and needs to be used more.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I've always thought Riven was OP. She is the new Lee Sin. I don't think Riven has any bad matchups solo top outside of Garen too. She's. just. so. effing. strong.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Why is Lux considered so mediocre anyway? She seems like a Xerath with less range (but still a lot) and less burst damage, but with shorter cooldowns, and more sustained damage instead of explosions of it. I mean, this was what I did last night before I went to sleep:

Anecdotal evidence is rarely something smart to base assumptions on.

Lux is good beats brand and a few other APs.

As teemo how do I deal with udyr in lane? I felt like harassing him was pointless, my jungler couldnt gank him (yi jungle too good -.-) I mean eventually he left lane and I stayed to farm for a while since I was behind. That game just felt so hopeless until he left lane and I power farmed for an item or two.

 

[JTB]

Why harass him? Just farm farm farm, that's how the matchup should be.

Well, you can harass him, but your focus should be on cs.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I went mid the first two games against Annie and Heimer/Annie/Brand (they kept switching) and pooped on all of them, then game 3 was top with a crap Xin against Irelia and Alistar, Xin came out around 1/3/5 after laning and I was 6/0/1.

the thing about Lux is that early game, her range is so good, that she just reaches so far with her pokes and does so much damage with them, that its hard for them to counter her when she attacks, causing an early lead for you and easy farming. Then, late game, she still has that insane range, but also has stupid low cooldowns to the point where she can ult every 20-25 seconds, stun every 7-8 seconds, slow+AOE damage every 7-8 seconds, AND has a shield. Plus, all of this is from a safe distance, you never have to put yourself out there due to her great range. She can also kite like a boss due to her stun and slow, she has great AP damage to carry with, and her ult kill secures really well, and her E insta clears minion waves at level 15ish.

Yeah if I could replay that game I wouldn't have harassed him because I got behind in cs while he just afk farmed with turtle. When he hit level 5 or so he got bear stance and I felt like I was just getting zoned. Sounds weird i know... but if i tried to farm hed just stun me and id take a bunch of damage. And if I just attacked him when he did that it did nothing pretty much because of turtle stance. He'd just push me to my tower and I'd get further and further behind on cs. While he would just wait till the next wave. He kept on doing this until he left lane. It was kind of frustrating.

 

[UTDZac]

Listening to Chaox's stream. Here thme talk a bout "having to play jpak" over and over. wtf. didnt know jpak was famous.

 

[jpak]

Yeah he's talking about the WCG Canada Grand Finals. We played one game they won pretty easily. They said that they won the grand finals because they had a one game advantage in the bo3 since they came from upper bracket. However, they actually have a one set advantage in a 3 bo3 set grand finals.

Yiruru, a player on my canadian team, has to go out of town sometime soon so we won't even have 5. We probably will forfeit as my Canadian team isn't that good (good enough to beat the other canadian teams (there are good canadian players/teams) but still far below CLG), and will be a waste of time, but we'll see.

 

[UTDZac]

I will sub for your fifth I play all roles.

 

[jpak]

If this was my real team I would make every effort to play it, but my Canadian team is just a pick-up team of Canadian players and we somehow made it to the grand finals so we'll just collect the second place prize and move on. but we shall see!

I don't like playing in a game where i know i will not learn anything from it, and know the outcome will be a loss.

 

[voorhese]

i wouldnt consider myself great, but i am decent i think. If anyone wants a nidalee for this tourney im down.

 

[DallasPhat]

Clears wave at lvl 15... Lol most ap casters should be able to clear entire waves by 7-9....

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Lux is considered subpar because other than her laser, her main spells cd are too long causing to assume more of a supportive role lategame. 8 seconds is a long ****ing time. You'll likely only throw out one meaningful combo in a fight, two if the fight keeps going

Plus her laning is nothing really extraordinary

[Wave⁂]

hey there, page 600

Lux's cooldowns aren't that bad in a teamfight, since she ideally would be spending time getting autoattacks off for her passive.

 

[DallasPhat]

If lux is autoattacking that probably means she's in kill range. I don't think I called her bad, just think x champions does what she does but just better. she's just an overall mediocre champ.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Her passive doesn't scale off ap so it's really negligible past the laning phase

 

[@TKbreezy]

THAT AIN'T ORIANNA!

for real though I feel like they should Re-Do some of the Old champs to be on par with all this new hotness they keep dropping. Like give AD champs more AD ratios and things like that.

MF make it rain scaling of AD would be pretty cool.

you know things like that.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Thats why you play Lux like a clean up champ in team fights. Use her to stun the champs that try to get away for your teamates to pounce on, and snipe the ones with low health who try to make a run for it. Throw out your E to initiate, when you need damage, or need to catch/escape from a champ, and shield whoever is getting targeted most, hitting as man other allies as possible with it on the way. If it's a long team fight, use E to damage as many champs as possible, and Q anyone who overextends or looks vulnerable.

 

[Abel1994]

So why dont people use Galio? he is like my favorite tank.

maokai is probably the tank that no one uses :/

 

[Z'zgashi]

I use Galio :o

Although my Tanks of choice are ususally Nunu or Leona, but they are both bum so I usually dont play the tank role lol.

 

[DallasPhat]

Fshy you're under the impression that I don't know how lux works... What I'm trying to say that whatever lux brings to the table another champ can out do her in almost every category. She's just a mediocre champ.

 

[BSL]

I want to be on someone's team. Any takers?

 

[jpak]

There's only one person I know that uses lux in tourney and that's vman7. This was may be two months ago not sure if he still uses it.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

For whaaaaat?

 

[john!]

For whaaaaat?

nobody told you about the dodgeball tournament?

 

[Wave⁂]

As far as I know, Galio is less powerful in solo queue.

Isn't it better for Lux to get in there quickly ? She does a lot of AoE damage, it'd be optimal to blow those cooldowns while more people are alive.
