So, anyone playing League of Legends?

Enemies can see and destroy them.

 

OK, so void monster plus a kit that sounds fun as hell. Why you do this to me Riot? Just when I thought I was out you pull me back in!

 

The new jungle is brutal man. What i don't seem to be able to grasp is the attack movement backwards to avoid the creeps hitting you. I see good players do this all the time but i can't seem to master this, so i take a lot more hits.

 

So, the Zerg have infested the Rift. Okay.

 

Fix't

 

uncalled for

 

A little spotlight of the new champ. Dunno about you, but this looks totally broken to me. But then again, I'm just a noob, so what do I know.

 

Want freelo? Build Ohmwrecker. It's like upwards of thousand free health with the active, at least for me. Fucking towers, my worst enemy, I have a weapon against you now.

Now I only need a boots enhancement that lets me ignore minion collision.

I wouldn't worry, Joe Miller is not actually a Rioter either, in fact the article has a quote saying he's looking forward to working with him even more. It's probably just a smart career move as an established shoutcaster to join an organization that can keep him even if LoL suddenly tanked whereas Riot has all their eggs in one basket.

Plus Joe Miller was shoutcasting worlds, seems like shoutcasting is the one part of League Riot isn't trying to make itself the one and only source of for themselves.

 

Joe says they're not coming back to the LCS in the facebook post at the bottom.
Yeah, it's smart and makes sense and all, but they were a big part of why I liked watching the EULCS.
Gonna be hard for anyone to fill their shoes as the play-by-play guys. And I really hope we don't get Quickshot or Deficio trying to do play-by-play instead. Eugh.

 

Maybe Riot doesn't pay as much, they like those cheap fanboys. Also Sjokz play by play? I'd legit be interested in having a good girl shoutcaster.

 

So what's Deman's actually job at ESL then? Because as far as I'm aware ESL runs the presentation of the EU scene already, I'm interested to see what his involvement would be.

 

I think it might be because the ESL HQ is in Cologne(?), while the EULCS is moving to Berlin next split. Something like that. Might mean ESL aren't involved any more?
I'm guessing they'll move on to casting other games and doing the occasional LoL casts at IEM and such that the ESL is in charge of.

Deman specifically stated that it's because his life is in Cologne (which is also the E-sports capital of Europe).

 

Jungle Twisted Fate from UOL first blooding against TSM at IEM San Jose. This should be fun.

 

What patch were they playing on? Seems like jungle TF would be hard(er) to pull off in the current jungle. Fun when pros throw curve balls like that.

 

"Nocturne is just so fucking shit these days that we'll just Twisted Fate jungle" lol

 

UoL rule. Awesome picks that really work out against TSM that cant really adapt to anything they didnt pre-planned.
Also, TSM's jungler played early game champions but didnt gank till he was like level 8. No presence in the games at all.

 

They're playing on 4.20. The jungle TF seemed pretty effortless to be honest. He built an on-hit/attack speed machine gun and just breezed through the jungle.

I just hope that UOL are not a fluke. Really entertaining games in the short amount of time they've been on the pro scene.

 

TSM is truly going to miss Amazing, I'm calling it now.

I was always surprised how much Amazing got shat on by popular opinion. Besides the Volibear game I can't of anything where he was just so awful. Subpar mechanics? He's the fucking jungler it's more strategy than reflexes for that role.

And I heard SHC will(/has?) dropped him for one of the Koreans off Millenium. You know, that team that lost about as early as they could in the expansion tournament?

 

oh SHIT, I didn't think UoL would win. They won their promotions, everyone thought it was a fluke. They won that other game against Lyon, some still thought it was a fluke, they were downplayed against TSM by all the analysts, I still didn't believe. Damn, it's going to be fun watching how they owned TSM.

 

They manhandled them pretty well but either Power of Evil is a god amongst men or Bjergsen played like 100% crap because PoE kills him in lane...like countless times.

Can't wait for a million LeBlanc counterpicks when I play Xerath now...

 

Yeah it's pretty weird seeing a Pantheon vs TF jungle matchup when Nocturne has always been known as the global ult jungler. The TF jungle really gives Nocturne a run for his money though, same clear speed because huehue 100 sec respawns, better sustain, on demand stuns, way better global ultimate, same sustained damage in teamfights, an actual useful passive that allows TF to outscale the other guy even with low farming options and gold in the jungle, can split push, wave clear, and builds Devourer too of course. Basically everything that Noc brought in S4 is now on TF in S5, so weird and depressing.

But at least Nocturne is getting a small buff to his fear, it should come next patch. Nocturne has really only one good niche, but he's been getting better and better at it, he's fast becoming the #1 duelist/assassin out of the jungle. Sure, there's cockroaches like Udyr but if you actually want to kill your target as opposed to just running away forever, Nocturne is the guy to pick. That's pretty much how I always built Nocturne as last season, I did the jungle chores but besides that I just used him as OP duelist and always outscaled the other jungler. I was even 10 out of 11 wins for my run at the end of the season. If you want to do anything else, you have to use Vi, Rengar, Pantheon, TF etc but Nocturne always finds a way to come back.
