So, anyone playing League of Legends?

Damn, missing a rotation with four champs I don't have, three of which I'd like to give a spin (Orianna, Viktor and Hecarim).

 

I played Karma Lux mid back when she was still considered a troll pick, now look at where she is with only minor cooldown reductions

 

To be fair, Athene's does everything for her.

 

Eleisa's Miracle on Viktor, hot or not? Reasoning : I like to start with Crystalline Flask, and I get Faerie Charm with it to have sustain. Now Viktor doesn't really use many items that build out of FC, so I get Philo Stone, more sustain and Gold OFC. So I get Eleisas for the regens.

Now. That stuff delays important Viktor damage items and also Eleisa's likely costs as much as PS gives. I have tried it maybe twice, and it seems okay but I can't say, just now I got kinda fed since Kat players are Kat players.

 

Eleisa's, now there's an item that's still useless. By the time it comes into effect, laning phase is over and it becomes useless. I think the item could work on champs that really need the mana regen, get that baby early and then a Chalice and watch your mana stay up. You also need to take advantage of the 20% summoners cooldown, and how many take heal , revive or clairvoyance? It's sort of an expensive selfish support item. I only see it used when a support snowballs super hard, super early.

 

I like to get Crystaline flask, 2x health pots, 2x wards when I mid.

But if you feel better with faerie charm, why not upgrade it to chalice instead of philo?

 

Oh boy, been playing normal Summoner's Rift since one of my friends doesn't have enough champs for draft. We had bad lose streak so I decided to take ez-mode Heimer, 7 wins in a row, 3am and we're rollin rollin rollin.

 

You should take that Heim to ranked. I'm sure nothing could go wrong!

I'd have gotten Alien Invader heimy in a heartbeat if the pool lil' fella was halfway viable. I love that model. Sadly, Heimer's probably not going to be viable barring a complete remake.

 

Everything is "viable" in ranked. Like the game I just had, my support played Sona with Flash and Ghost. Wait it gets better, she buys a health crystal and nothing else. And it gets even better, she gives out FB at level 1 on a suicidal trade with Ez-Taric. I get zoned from level 1 until about the end of the game. No wards of course. The result? We win! Wait it gets better, they surrender at 20 minutes. It gets even better than that, I end with the most gold on my team. I keep up in cs somehow and both top and mid win their lane. Every 3 minutes I get some ganks from my jungler and Sona who decided her team needed her more to roam... while I farmed golems and went back to hugging tower again.

Apparently her build includes Iceborn Gauntlet and Randuins or some shit. The worst part about it is her troll build has 2 straight wins, she's gonna run it again against unsuspecting victims.

Everything is shit viable

 

You should look at the rune pages. League of Attack Speed.

I hate winning a match with those guys, because you know they'll turn around next match and do it to some other poor sucker. Nothing makes me contemplate losing like playing with those guys.

I should not talk however. Guys, I recently slipped below 1000 ELO. I've watched my rating fall plunge almost 300 points by now. I'm bad and it hurts.

Every week is another week less than what I used to play at. I'm trying to add more champs to my stable, and focusing on the ones that really resonate, but I have difficulties putting it all together. I have a lot I need to figure out so if someone that's pretty good could mentor me a bit that'd be swell.

 

I watched a few of your matches or match histories, you need better cs skills. 15 cs = 1 kill. Even better, when you have better cs skills than your opponent, you force THEM to do something as they know passive farming will put them behind. When I was bound to tower that last game with Sona I got as close as I could to perfect cs under tower (it helps Varus can cs under tower without items). CSing is also very important for snowballing. Usually a single item especially at top and bot is the difference between zoning them out and getting even more cs and levels and just barely hanging by.

I think you did fine when jungling since junglers can't really miss cs and with Draven since he doesn't really need perfect cs either, you just go in and get auto attacks and if they trade, you go in for the kill. If you want, we can play custom games together, I do them anyway and they're quite fun actually.

 

Sometimes life is sweet.



Death to Teemo!

 

Boots+3? Did they get changed into a not terrible choice with the S3 patch and I just missed it?

 

5/5 of their characters have slows, and I wanted every bit of speed to catch Teemo.

Er, if you don't know they reduce the amount or duration of slows by 25% now, I don't actually know which. I'd like to test them a bit to find out if their effect is even remotely worthwhile.

Much more I doubt if building Hexdrinker early on against Teemo was any good at all, I kinda didn't expect him to totally collapse so I thought I'd get some MR solely against him. BTW sit in a bush, miss a couple of CS maybe, you know Teemo will come there to place a mushroom and sure enough he sticks his filthy midget dick into a cheesegrater. Doesn't that sound like good old times?

 

Well, yeah, but Garen's Q already removes all slows and speeds him up, no? Hexdrinker seems so much worse now with the scimitar. Then again, I don't play Garen that much...

 

I know CS is my biggest issue. I think the only champs I can get a decent CS score is Draven, Ahri, and Viktor. (LeBlanc too but I've since quit on playing her. Dominate mid, gank bot and bot still loses? Come on now.) I simply can not farm well top as anybody. (Tried Morde yesterday and it went extremely well. Some issues because the enemy jungler decided to live top but wards fixed that.) Hell, started playing Kass and I love his kit but I farm like shit as him. Makes me feel like I NEED to kill as him but until level 6 he's really not a great kill threat, just trades well. Mid for me has gotten to such a passive lane now though. Lux and Orianna everywhere.

My other issue is not my fault. At my skill level after laning everyone and their brother takes CS. If I'm the ADC and I get a chance to farm wraiths real quick I can expect the top to take them while;e I'm there. My last game as Kass I farmed bot lane at a good spot ahead of our tower and our fucking jungler (Volibear) dashes over to take some. WTF?! When I'm jungler or support I leave CS until it's to the point that if I don't take it then no one gets anything. But a huge part of my problem is that people will not let me farm at all, screw up my creep kills and make it so that neither of us got all of them, when if it was just one of us we could of had the whole wave. Right now though, the focus is definitely on champs that I can farm well with. As Draven I almost always simply last hit better so that's the one champ I'm not even a little worried about. Ahri and Viktor sit in that zone of waiting for a little AP to farms caster minions in one cast. I'm digging Morde top for that awesome E, but really when you think about it that's a terribly small list of champs.

 

Lux and Orianna are PASSIVE lanes? o_______________________________________o

 

Once, yeah. Think about Teemo shrooms, Olaf axe, Talon has some slow too, no? Nami has two slows, Graves has a slow.

 

They just sit there and farm at my ELO. Hell, Lux especially is the pick of people who just want to farm all day.

 

Dunno, I still think I'd prefer Merc treads or Tabis most of the time.

 

Lux has pretty strong kill potential the moment she hits 6, I don't see why you wouldn't wanna push when you're close to 6, and try to get a kill or make them b, before they hit 6.

 

I must say that I also fail to see how champs with as strong zoning and harass as Ori and Lux can be considered passive laners.

 

Well

 

It's how they play at my ELO, hate to say.
