Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

But now you can play HoN with me :D

 

[Ignatius]

I still don't like HoN nearly as much as DotA, but it has all the goblin coins you can ever dream of.

 

[Zolga Owns]

So what about all of us who played Eve before she was FoTM? :/
It's funny when people call me a noob for NOT using Smite/Revive.
I do Smite and Cleanse/Ignite/Flash.

I mean the Smite/Revive method is only possible if the people A) don't know what you're doing, which is rare now, B) Are idiots, C) You change the pattern(which you should), or D) Just cant afford to leave their lane to go to you. Which almost is never the case.

 

[Vyke]

Okay this game is too boring, I'm done. Once I stopped enjoying my 2 mains, I stopped enjoying this game. And I can't find another character that I have fun with so whatever.

Isn't this like, the third time you've said you quit? Man up, son.

Get outta herr.

 

[Dekar173]

I'm still convinced that anyone who's playing alone is doing it wrong.

It's multiplayer for a reason

 

[Mogwai]

So apparently Eve is FotM now? There is forum talk about how she is banned in a lot of games at the moment because of her ability to jungle/gank. I guess oracles / vision wards don't matter because they are too expensive to buy in the early game and that's when she shines... but really?

thoughts from good kids? Is Eve the next Malphite/Corki?

She's the next Pantheon. Irritating to play against, so always banned. I would say I feel for Eve players, but I totally don't because invisibility is a really stupid and annoying mechanic.

Okay this game is too boring, I'm done. Once I stopped enjoying my 2 mains, I stopped enjoying this game. And I can't find another character that I have fun with so whatever.

Aight peace.

 

[swordgard]

Samuraipanda tell me what settings I should use for my stream to not have any lag on own3d. Should I use the xplit broadcaster?

 

[Leacero]

Aight peace.

LMAO best response ever.

 

[DanGR]

Anyone know of a fix for any of the many champ swapping bugs in ranked? Just happened twice to me in a row and got stuck with a champ I don't feel comfortable playing.

 

[M3D]

It's OK Dan. You did well with Shen in both games. Although the mis-trade in the first game probably cost us cause that guy kinda struggled a bit as MF and you would have done way better. Second game it didn't matter cause my Tristana was legit and you saved me against that Tryndamere to give me the kill and get the ball rolling on my Ghostblade. GB/Bloodrazers/Zerks and I was a MEAN auto-attacker.

I do need to buy Nidalee if we're going to keep queueing though. I want to have that in the bag in case we want you to solo top lane against a team comp that will be weak to your push. I just kinda don't feel like spending the IP at the moment, since I want to get the Christmas runes before the Snowdown is over. Anyone know when those runes go away?

 

[DanGR]

Yeah that's understandable about the thing about buying Nidalee. 500IP off is no joke. And so few play her anyways it might not even be worth an investment after you get all those runes. :/

I heard something about the end of the sale being the patch after the patch following Christmas, but I'm really not sure, so don't quote me on this. :X

 

[Dekar173]

Nidalee's bad it's all about Kayle.

 

[SuperBowser]

Does anyone think sivir is hilariously overpowered? First champion I've used where I thought that.

Been trying her out today. She literally walks through minion waves, she's strong in solo or duo or 2v1 lanes, her boomerang is sooooo good and she can consistently hold end game items in mid game.

 

[DMG]

The only major change I would have is increasing the mana cost of Ricochet. I think the cost on that is absurdly low. and especially after her latest buffs I'm surprised they haven't changed that at all. 6 mana per attack? 3-4 of those costs even less than a single Corki Rocket.

That and change the bonus mana given on a successful spell block. Either remove it completely or make the bonus given tiny like 10-20 mana more than the initial cost. Being able to block spell damage/effects is already strong enough, you don't need to also give a carry a way to get mana back like that.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Isn't this like, the third time you've said you quit? Man up, son.

Get outta herr.

I never said I quit the game. I just said I'm not playing for now since I'm not enjoying it anymore. I've spent far too much time playing LoL to just up and quit all of a sudden. I'll keep giving the game a chance every now and then, but I'll only pick it up if/when I find a character to enjoy.

I'm still convinced that anyone who's playing alone is doing it wrong.

You also like Twisted Treeline, so your opinion isn't valid.

Samuraipanda tell me what settings I should use for my stream to not have any lag on own3d. Should I use the xplit broadcaster?

I settled with Livestream Procaster, one of the beta versions you can find on their support forums. But the only reason I used that program was because it was the only one that I could stream while running fullscreen. Sorry, but I don't know the actual optimal programs for streaming

 

[Dekar173]

You play alone in solo queue, come in here QQing and *****ing every time you lose, and I'm the one without a valid opinion?

Go get some friends and you'll enjoy this game again

 

[SamuraiPanda]

I QQ and ***** about games where I win just as much. I was joking about the valid opinion, in case that wasn't incredibly obvious :X. I try not to come off as whiny, but I guess as of late my posts have just been like that as my enjoyment started to dwindle. My apologies.

Also, I have plenty of friends. I just absolutely and utterly loathe duo queue MM since I have nothing but horrendous experiences with it no matter who I premake with, so I've deemed the "get friends" solution to not work in my case. Nowadays I only duo with one person because he is my best friend and he comes over to 2 man LAN.

Besides, my enjoyment of the game is dependent on enjoying my character and the time I have in the game, not just winning/losing. I can easily tryhard to probably around 1800 ELO at my current skill level if I just played flavors but I don't enjoy winning games with characters that aren't fun.

 

[Dekar173]

That's where 3s/only mid comes in.

3s? It's a whole other metagame.

Only mid? Dear lord lol. It's Brawl- :D

 

[Frolossus]

my answer to solo queue: play shaco

 

[DanGR]

Just played a game on the Epikgamer livestream. ;p

2 viewers got a chance to play a match and I got selected. Was cool playing with top players. :O

K, so I usually don't get too riled up from soloqueue, but...

I took top solo in the beginning and 15 minutes later got 2 towers and 5 kills. Forced their top (Lux) to stay in the lane that entire time while their jungler (revive/smite eve) kept trying to get me. Ended up getting a double kill and the second tier tower from one of those ganks. The rest of my team was about -10 at that point with no tower or dragon kills, and a tower loss down bottom.

Well I ended up playing the best Nidalee game I've had in a while, but still only barely won it. It's so frustrating that things like that can happen to yah in this game.

 

[Ignatius]

Also if anyone is interested, HoN is on sale for $10 till the 26th.

Dan let's play when I get back to my apartment in 2-3 days

 

[M3D]

That's what you for solo queueing without me Dan.

 

[DMG]

I saw a 1700+ captain with 1400 teammates get crushed by my side. Idk how they could possibly have a 300 point ELO gap on 1 team and think that's reasonable.

 

[john!]

i'll send in an update too i guess

tag: aenguskhan
mains: anivia, rammus, ashe, tryndamere, poppy, kennen, yi

dangr, that reminds me of a ranked game i played about a month ago where i carried HARD as anivia (usually don't play her anymore but i was on a losing streak and wanted to win) back when i was in elo hell. took mid and got a few early kills + tower, our team started off 3-13, but i dominated every team battle and saved ally after ally because i got so fed. it was over an hour long, but eventually we won a clutch battle and took the nexus. games like that are what make me keep playing.

 

[Frolossus]

broke 1300 finally x.x

 

[M3D]

Did anyone get some RP for Christmas? I came up short in the Christmas money department, so I'm probably going to wait until my birthday to pick some up.

we get it within the first two weeks of next month

 

[Limeee]

my brothers hopefully gonna get me some tomorrow on boxing day

 

[Rappster]

Hi guys.
I'm really enjoying this game.
Right now I am most comfortable playing tanks, carries or melee dps (esp amumu, trist, Yi and Jax).
Since i'm only level 10 right now, should I focus on getting good with these characters or on broadening my character styles?

generally speaking you want to be able to play a few of each class, but right now it sounds like you have a pretty good mix of champs and just lack a pure support and AP champ

 

[Limeee]

don't bother on getting good with characters, thats when you do when your 30

for now just have fun
you can play with me if you want, Limeee
protip: never ever solo que, always have friends to play with, theres plenty of people here on smashboards to play with

 

[S l o X]

;_;

when you play you learn general tips / rules of engagement like whether or not face checking bushes is okay or not when everyone's MIA.

learning the game's general rules and basis is far greater than mastering any one character. (although knowing how to utilize both doesn't hurt)
