Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

CLG is just getting caught out of position again and again.
Let M5 take the lead after a huge advantage.

Edit:
And now M5 has double Warmogs + Fratmas Shyvana. Wow.

 

[PhantomX]

Well... Wriggle's Kog also useless (realize it helped survive vs Urgot, but after Urgot built no DPS it was a waste), and no LW 40 minutes in. What's the point of having a ranged DPS if you're not gonna take LW on him? :\

 

[Lovage]

amazing comeback from m5

still no clear counter for shyvana top in pro level play, wickd's gp was lackluster all game

wriggles build was an awful idea for yellowpete that game, can you imagine if he had IE in the midgame instead of wriggles zeal/pd, woulda crushed the insanely tanky m5 frontline

 

[SuperBowser]

hilarious that m5 won. they are really good at team fights and building champions for specific matches. shyvana and urgot turned the whole game around.

it's harsh to blame kogmaw. i don't think many ad carries would forsee urgot being a jerk and building tanky and following them around the fight.

 

[DallasPhat]

Question:

Which junglers best compliment Cassiopeia? And why? Strictly a solo/duo queue mindset.

Thanks in advance to everyone who answers.

If it's strictly solo que and if you want to give mid cass a lead, Maokai most likely the best choice. Not only does it guarantee a free combo set-up for cass, maokai burst pre 6 is insane.

When doesnt urgot build tanky?

 

[SuperBowser]

When doesnt urgot build tanky?

the urgot rushed glacial shroud and GA while playing the AD carry role.

that happens all the time

 

[fkacyan]

I'm fairly sure every Urgot on the planet rushes Shroud bot lane.

EDIT: Also, Urgot is not really an AD carry so much as an anti-carry.

 

[Nike.]

Where's the stream?

Also, thank you JTB, ArcNatural, and DMG for your help <3

 

[SuperBowser]

if you say so. can't say that's the norm in my games.

my point was more it wasn't kogmaw's fault the game was lost. clg were outplayed in the team fights in every respect despite a massive advantage.

 

[PhantomX]

The Kog could have done so much more for his team if he had a Last Whisper, but he did not.

GP as evidenced not a great choice against Shyv, and they let her get to late game while her team caught up at hte same time, so she shredded things.

EDIT: YO DANGR, M5 just taking full 33 armor + 15 armor pen rune page against Riven top. GET, AT, ME. 70 armor start too strong.

Maokai is more dependent on blue than, say, Lee Sin. And Cass with blue is pretty funny.

I mean, all I ever see Urgots build is Manamune Frozen Heart Banshees. All tanky all day every day.

The point is that the Kog had every reaosn to make Arpen and, for whatever reason, did not.

 

[DallasPhat]

This is completely wrong btw. Maokai only needs first blue, after that philo + mana regen from utility is more then enough to keep him sustained.

 

[PhantomX]

That accidental blue steal by Kennen from GP really ruined M5's strat. That 70 armor GP w/ blue would have been miserable for Wickd's Riven.

 

[Lovage]

fantastic finals set

trading bot inhib + 2 towers for baron great trade for clg, as long as they can avoid getting aced while baron buff is still on.

gonna give the game to clg if froggen continues to play even half as great as he has been playing.

 

[PhantomX]

Wickd also being a lot more useful on Riven. Has a very good tanky build on her too to help with initiation for his team and let him survive long enough to maximize damage.

 

[Wave⁂]

Doesn't Lee Sin not ever need blue ever?

 

[Strong Badam]

JUNGLE KOGMAW

[Lovage]

holy **** m5 might make the comeback

going for the inhib fight with baron being that closed to spawning was a huge oversight by clg

sivir has delayed pd so long i feel like she hasn't even gotten close to her real late game damage.

 

[PhantomX]

Yeah, CLG is a bit off on their objective timing atm. They need to take advantage of Sivir's ability to bait a hard engage from enemy team and then disengage, I think.

 

[Lovage]

clg will win if they can get a pick on alex in ~4 seconds and then disengage before they die to aoe.

if they can survive karth ult + passive with enough health to push mid inhib they'll win the game

edit: this game is too ***** intense

amazing fight by clg

huge props to wickd and snoopeh diving/zoning karth + kennen
and to yellowpete for SOMEHOW staying alive after being chunked to 50% off 1 lay waste

 

[PhantomX]

Amazingly engaged by CLG.

That tanky Riven zoning two DPS ALONE.

Not gonna lie... easily the most exciting/tense matches of LoL I've ever seen.

 

[Deleted member]

still think riven is trash

 

[MacD]

that was a really good game

if karthus had been able to flash forward at that last fight i think they woulda been able to win it. but that was just crazy

and that dragon fight where it was 1 for 1 and everyone with not health was just crazy. dat sona though, went sooo crazy for no reason

 

[fkacyan]

What was the Riven build, pX?

EDIT: Actually, if those matches could be posted to my wall that would be fantastic.

 

[JTB]

disappointed i missed those matches, i just bought 13-2 and been playing it all morning

i assume there will be vods?

I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

[JTB]

eh, I actually enjoyed the **** out of 13, so it was a good purchase

 

[DallasPhat]

He's playing that cause he given up on trying to hit plat.

 

[PhantomX]

I bought the game but am too busy studying and can't play it! T_T Is it good so far?

@Cyanide - he had Mallet, a dblade, Wriggles, Mercs, BT. Kind of a fusion of my usual build and the Westrice build.

P.S. I also really enjoyed 13 and the whole mythos they are establishing in its universe. Not everyone plays for open-endedness. I've always been a fan of cinematic RPGs, and the gameplay mechanics were very fun.

 

[Omni]

Yeah, I'm sad. I have to figure out a way to divide this next few days between playing XIII-2 and getting enough IP to get Rammus. I might just get some Riot Points and buy him 'cuz:

Spoiler

And I'm also anxious to get on the Support train. Wards ****ing galore.

 

[DallasPhat]

http://www.justin.tv/dphat0 streamin some norms, just going to go random junglers

 

[fkacyan]

@Cyanide - he had Mallet, a dblade, Wriggles, Mercs, BT. Kind of a fusion of my usual build and the Westrice build.

I'm generally not a fan of Wriggles, but evidently it worked out well for him.

At least I might get fewer Rivens who try to make items without any damage at all on them now. So tired of Sunfire / Atmogs attempts that never go anywhere because they lose their lane.

Also kinda tired of the "These items don't make ****" builds that go Wrigg / Brut / Hexdrinker

@Omni: Don't worry about character acquisition too much. Focus on learning the characters you have to the utmost you possibly can.

EDIT2: I didn't enjoy 13 because they set up a great universe and then utterly failed to expand on it in any significant way.

 

[BSL]

i watched dphat's stream until he played that horrid music.

 

[DMG]

I watched his stream until I saw a 3 v 2 gank nearly end in a double kill for the 2

 

[Wave⁂]

Ashe buffs and Sivir nerfs, woo

 

[PhantomX]

Viktor

Power Transfer missile speed increased to 2000 from 1400
Gravity Field activation time reduced to 0.25 seconds from 0.5
Fixed a bug where Chaos Storm's tooltip stated that it dealt less damage than it actually did

Viktor probably very viable now.

Also, best thing in this patch: "Added a new option, "Show Smartcast Ranges"

 

[DanGR]

"Trueshot Barrage now grants vision while in flight."
"Enchanted Crystal Arrow now grants vision while in flight."
this is gonna be so cool tehe


"[Jax dodge] Now can be activated again after 1 second to end the effect early"
after 1 second


"Fixed a bug where Power Chord did not trigger while Taunted or Silenced"
Thank goodness.


"Deadliness changed to 0.5 Attack Damage per level (9 Attack Damage at champion level 18) at 4 points from 4% Critical Strike Chance"
YES.
