Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[fkacyan]

How my last two ranked games have gone:

Jungler (Me): Don't push up, Nocturne will end you if you do
Bot lane: Nah, chill, we're good
30 seconds later
Nocturne has scored a DOUBLE KILL
30s later
Mid has been slain! (By Nocturne)

And then I have to do CRAZY TOWERDIVE BULL**** to make a comeback

It worked the first time, but not the second.

low elo ranked -.-

@Dan, KevinM, Tom, or Iggy:

Do any of you have the replays from last night of our matches against Kobe24? If so I need both of them. PM me a message where I can download them from you (or i can PM you back my email).

Thanks.

 

[Ignatius]

I don't have the replay tool at all, but if you do get them make sure to watch for my flash in the first game.

 

[PhantomX]

What do you need them for, Zac?

 

[DMG]

To tell them Lebron is in town

 

[Jem.]

If anyone wants to play, add me. hMJem is my name

Galio, Ryze FotM, calling it right now

 

[Z'zgashi]

Lol, why am I always destined to like bad characters?

Still dont think Shyvana is THAT bad though.

 

[Saki-]

Wah Orianna got moved down to Tier 3 because of the range nerf? ;-; man she was like the only mage I had experience with outside of Kat

Are you talking about Shyvana when you say bad characters? Because "hard to place" isn't bad. She's in the same tier as Shaco, that's gotta count for something.

 

[Z'zgashi]

She's the same tier as Eve, so I consider that bad.

But I meant more like Shy/Lux/Blitz/Veigar/Kayle/Poppy/Leona

The only other characters I like outside of them are Riven and Singed, and those two are only Tier 3.

 

[fkacyan]

Shyvana doesn't really fill a role the same way other champs do.

 

[Z'zgashi]

She tanks like a boss :o

 

[ruin`]

Chose not to hit her...won game

 

[DMG]

You think Ryze would be FOTM when people can play Irelia which is easier? I can push a wave top with Wriggle no think mode and do fine with Irelia. On hit sustain + burst + CC + tanky + holy **** I can't CC her already making waves compared to poor grandpa Ryze.

Sure they are different champs, but basic point that people flock to FOTM stuff that's also fairly easy. Less thought, more results = more of a following.

 

[Saki-]

k current debate with said person who visits this forum

He believes Garen is OP and the best solo top. I disagree

Someone here tell me why Garen is the best solo top, I'm sure it's my lack of experience preventing me from agreeing.

 

[PhantomX]

He's not the best solo top, but he's one of the strongest. The big problem is that he relies on heavily denying the enemy's top lane from farm and levels in order to be useful to his team b/c he scales poorly and tapers off to make up for his very strong early game. He has counters or people that can go even with him, however.

And anyone can beat him if they just survive

The tiers don't mean people are unviable, it just means that for a current metagame some champions are more useful than others. This game is fairly well balanced, and most champs can be used in a winning team composition. Shyvana is hard to place because she is a jack of all trades character that doesn't really specialize in anything, and in draft mode teams can be more tailored and thus have champs that excel in certain areas better than her. It does not mean she is a bad champion, just a bad pick in arranged teams.

I can see where you're going, but Ryze is pretty simple if you ask me. You just use all your **** whenever it's off cooldown. I guess that is more clicking, though, which could be a barrier for people with lower APM.

 

[Plum]

Smartcast Ryze for optimum dps then. I don't know how you can play champs like Ryze/Cass without smartcast.

 

[john!]

don't worry about the tier list. seriously. i used to think it was really important, and pretty accurate, but it is quite simply nothing more than one person's opinion. the top placements are usually somewhat accurate, but there are a lot of heroes in the lower tiers that are actually very good and are simply ignored by elementz and the community for various reasons. after spending a year watching champions rise and fall on the list for no apparent reason, you lose your faith after a while... =\

 

[Z'zgashi]

I dont care about my characters' tier placements, its more the fact that, when all my characters are considered 'bad', people rage at me when I try to go them because they 'arent good' and its annoying lol.

 

[-Vocal-]

If you can still do fine with her then just keep playing, or rather play her when she makes sense. Maybe some matchups aren't in her favor now, but I'm sure there are plenty she goes even in or wins, so choose her then. If you know how to play her, I think you'd do fine.

 

[Espy Rose]

I played Rammus before everyone hopped on the hype-train.

 

[john!]

this hype train is nothing compared to the rammus hype train that happened a few months after i started playing him. he was perma-ban at almost every elo for a while.

 

[Wave⁂]

Listening to HSGG's AMA, he says that he can potentially make $2,000 a day streaming, though he says the average is less than $1,000.

For those guys who were talking about stream profits the other day.

 

[Shaya]

I find it amazing how characters that were nerfed months ago come back into full qqing swing once other characters around them get nerfed a bit too....

I never really realised how strong and easymodo maxing W was with Irelia and just spamming auto attacks on everyone and everything and laugh at their futile attempts to stop me.

Ryze is just like... HOLY **** AP GETS BLUE BUFF ALWAYS META OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OM I HAVE BLUE BUFF? FRUARKARK **** EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Seriously.... how the **** does that character lose to anyone early game with blue buff? lol; even if they were to have blue buff too. He hard scales with CDR too easily.

 

[JTB]

posting here about how much i ****ing love zilean and winning 3 fights in a row without anyone dying or going back to base is the greatest feeling in the world

 

[Plum]

Working on my mana page for Ryze. Not ashamed to get back on his hype train. Was on it right after the rework, and moved on to other characters. Still a lot of fun now.

 

[Shaya]

 

[jpak]

jpak thinks you should try ms quints on ryze

 

[Nuris]

I played Rammus before everyone hopped on the hype-train.

i played rammus as soon as i realized i had a bowser skin for him

 

[Espy Rose]

****ing hate you Nuris.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

laning vs xerath is annoying as ****. he really needs an ult cd nerf

 

[Ignatius]

i played rammus as soon as i realized i had a bowser skin for him

Same .

First time doing a LoL video... tell me if you hate it or not. Probably want to add more to the video (ganking with it, pushing towers, zoning w/jitbs), but not sure...
(I have it as unlisted atm because I'm not sure if I'll be doing those things or not... would start delving too much into an ap shaco tutorial which would be full of my "DONT ****ING DO JITB NESTS YOU DUMB ****" bias which would scare people off I think)

 

[Turazrok]

kinda little hard to hear your voice.

 

[Shaya]

Yeah in comparison to the volume of the music at the start the voice is quite low. I didn't exactly want my voice to be bellowing out either. I'm pretty sure it can be heard fine with higher volumes though.

 

[fkacyan]

Jpop in the background

ahahahahahahahaha

In all seriousness, Sony Vegas or Audacity that **** up so you can adjust your voice track accordingly.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Just played. Dumbest game. In history.

Thought I was jungling as Cho, so I had smite/ghost, cloth and 5 pots. Turned out we had 2 roamers on our team, Eve and Twitch. So I went mid.

Won the game. Started with blue buff and just pushed, stole wraiths. Stole enemy blue buff later. Just pushed. Stayed in lane forever every time I went out... didn't finish boots until nearly 30 minutes.

I have premiere pro.
Their thingy restricting you to a 6 decibel sound increase only is kinda balls. I know you can get around that by sequencing it, increasing the volume of that, then increasing the volume of that sequence in the sequence you're using, but I personally didn't see it as much of a problem.

But if two people are saying it, out of like 3 people who have watched it, its something I'll go about adjusting
