So, anyone playing League of Legends?

[Jasede]

It's the most lethal champion for the first 2/3rds of the game and kids want to feel lethal. I guess.
I don't share that, really. Even though it's easy to rack up kills as Anivia that's not what I mid her for- I mid her so I can win the game with CC/walls in all phases of the game, not to rack up mad kills and be the "superstar". :yawn:

 

[Ulminati]

Been playing some blind pick normal for a while. Things usually go like this:

- I pick Diana with Smite/Flash
- Pugger 1: "I mid"
- Pause
- Pugger 2: "I ADC"
- Pugger 3: "I ADC!" <Locks>
- Pause
- I lock my choice
- Pugger 4: "Jungle!"
- Me: Um, I already have a jungle Diana locked
- Pugger 4: "You didnt call jungle, go support noob!"
- Me: "I thought having a jungle champion with smite picked made it fairly obvious what I was going"
- Pugger 4: "Lol no. I jungle"
- Pugger 1: "9x report ulminati!"

Dodge the second you see someone is obviously trolling. Really, not worth the rage and the time if you know you have duo mid. You will lose LP anyway.

Either way I think I can learn nami fairly fast. If there's one thing I played too much it is champions with skillshots that aren't so easy to aim. Blitz, cho etc. her bubble is essentially a cho Q with a smaller radius, her R is a slow but wide sona ult. Just need to get the timing right.

Although I think I'll avoid solo QQ until monday and just play trist in normals/derpminions or ARAM. Riot gave that bitch a cannon, bitches love cannons. Also I can't get used to her escape being W, too much playing graves I guess.

EDIT: yeah Ulminati, you need to instalock and paste your role into chat 4 times or the idiots will pick the same after you. If you don't lock but still pick and call they'll pick your role anyway and lock. Pretty much why I avoid blinds unless really pissed off at solo QQ.

 

[Ulminati]

You should come join the glorious EUW master race. I'll duo with you and you can get raged at by gold players for not reading their minds. :3

We'll call our team Kerbal Summoner Program

 

[Hellraiser]

As hilarious as kerbal summoner program sounds (we'll carry you to the Mun or blow up trying!) I cannot forsake all the EUNE bros. The potato in me compels me to stay, even the Russians began to be less annoying (or simply spamming less xaxaxa) lately.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

What lane did you call again?

I called nothing, when the two kids started raging over who gets mid I picked Karthus just to say fuck you to them. After all it's rare that people actually troll because most players should still want to win. But nah.

 

[Hellraiser]

Although you honestly underestimate how willing two people are to troll if they already started arguing over role calling before the game starts. That nearly always ends with trolling.

 

[Jasede]

Dodge, dodging is good.

I once had a game where we got 2 premade trolls who picked ap yi and veigar after another guy already called mid and picked lux and I went mordehuehuehue top. They went 3 mid. Thought we were gonna lose but we won. Veigar's op stun and ability to delete 1 target from fight instantly, Yi's resetting q spam, my ult on enemy adc and lux's powerful aoe burst really worked well together. The enemy team stacked lots of HP and MR, but it didn't help them.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Play a game as Twitch, arguing starts instantly when you pick heal some "Pro ahri pfft I'm a huge faggot" dude starts bitching and at the start of the game calls me noob when I pick fort pot opening. Well I call him a huge faggot of course. FB'd Draven who started something else and picked a fight with me, fuck your shitty moustache, Kayle support doesn't find Sightstone important but whatever she's still doing more than their Taric. Ahri feeds Elise of course and they 4v2 force our winning lane into reset, also the worst Xin I have seen ever feeds Teemo, yes start Doran Blade vs. Teemo that's gonna help you so much.

Game still won, Hecarim jungle managed to combat the growing retardation and we flame Ahri until she shuts up, then she starts sucking our dick and I ignore her in disgust. Twitch is amazing, I SFRIKE FROM FE FSHADOWS

Well next game somebody calls support, unusual but K, I play Twitch again, they have nasus so I take Cleanse. They also pick Xin and Khafix. Not looking to be very fun for me. Well support Soraka, I say nothing because against MF Lulu it's kinda OK. Well useless fucking healgoat hides behind my back, doesn't ward the bushes and I'm playing the good ol' 2v1 where 2 guys are shooting me. Then their mid and jungle roam to finish our shittiness off and everybody fucks everything up. Fucking soraka, delete her plz. so we don't have these ultra-passive pussies thinking they can play support.

Next game, I Lux mid, another Soraka, Draven Leona rumble over our bot like expected, also I die level 1 to Yi because apparently he can autoattack from range (what the fuck I got him snared and I'm at range and he just AA's me like it's nothing), he's far too good at dodging my skillshots and every Q to minions hits me of course even while there's 7 minions but whatever, I at least learned to pick different runes vs. Yi. Had I not fucked up vs. Yi I might have been able to save bot lane from the inevitable Soraka failure so it kinda annoys me, it wasn't completely one-sided and Yi being Yi doesn't do dick even when fed if his team is weak.

 

[Ulminati]

If you're not abusing the range on infuse to annoy their support and ADC, you're doing healgoat wrong.

 

[Hellraiser]

I'm not sure if heal is all that good on him though, or anyone for that matter. You use it only as a panic button on an adc when they are about to murder you (or if you want to go all in), might as well take barrier as it soaks more damage and doesn't get neutered by derpgnite or heal reduction passives like mf's.

I have been seeing twitch a lot more lately. He's slowly getting a resurgence in ranked although he's still pretty fucked during laning. If you can babysit him so he can op farm or even better get a gank he carries hard. Better than MF at least as much as she is a popular pick. The issue is just letting him get the jewgold to start murdering with his ult before laning ends and not feeding.

Also hurricane is fucking broken on him. Saw my bro build that shit, it works with his ult but only on the first target (that is the two next to it get hit) making your ult+E way more effective. And if you build BotRK you get ridiculous synergy. Not worth rushing as IE+PD are still what makes you do most damage but as further items, why fucking not? Although diminishing returns from AS would hit I guess.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I'm thinking heal gives you passive health from the mastery, also since most adc:s seem to take Barrier or Cleanse you don't need to worry about ignite until teamfights, where heal also heals your allies (on lane it also heals your suport). I think it's at least a reasonable choice.

Is Twitch really a weak laner though, seems to me his harassing powers are pretty crazy, like I find it much easier to deal damage with him than say Graves.

 

[Renegen]

Apparently Soraka counters Lulu , but then again MF counters Soraka.

I just played 5 games this weekend and had 5 troll games. First game, I don't even fucking remember, 2nd game I get the same guy who plays as Vayne again and our Volibear support is literally intentionally feeding. He buys AP, never wards, just wonders off by himself saying "we don't need wards, the bear is a ward" and then gets caught hard. Their Mundo support equally retarded but at least he built health so they won. Third game, and I get my buddy Vayne AGAIN, this time he goes top as Vayne, while the enemy team has 3 mids. I am not fucking kidding you, 3 mids, 1 top 1 bot. Fourth game the game starts off just wonderful when Katarina decides to get 15 seconds late in lane against a Kha-Zix giving me a leash, yeah she fed hard. Bot had Veigar support when I ask him why no wards "I'm not a support". Fifth game we get Nautilus Top with teleport and a Lux ADC, fortunately we win that one somehow.

I don't remember League being this bad, the worst is that almost everyone in those games was unranked or similar. During the week 90% of people are around my elo or higher and the games are fun, today it's been just a crapshoot like I can't even describe. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking practice my jungling, playing with baddies is just so.. exhausting, every game is 40+ minutes long even if you all feed hard because someone always chooses not to surrender.

 

[HanoverF]

Only play arams or dominion on holidays and weekends, you'll stay sane slightly longer.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Yeah, weekends are pretty fucking bad, I just got one of those games where we have a guy who picks Ryze for bot because OMG I CALLED MID, but their team got 4 guys who called top apparently so it was K. Whatever, I take what I get, 10/10 Zac games won thus far.

 

[Jasede]

Only play normals on weekends. I had a 15 losestreak one weekend. I know some of it was definitely my fault... but... the afks/leavers/trolls... EVEN if enemy teams also get them it's just lame.

A) If you get the leave, it sucks balls.
B) If the enemy does the victory feels lame and you learn jack shit.

Impressive, Demnogonis Saastuttaja.

 

[Undead Phoenix]

You just have to start playing with Berekän if you want to avoid getting trolls or even just losing games. Guy's godlike.

 

[Hellraiser]

The amount of top laners feeding the enemy jax early yesterday is what convinced me one does not play ranked on a weekend. The one time we got jax he picked ghost and never warded top feeding cho+naut (their jungle).

 

[trais]

Yes, if you want to avoid trolls then better not play on weekends. And Mondays. And Tuesdays to Fridays.

Ahh, playing Nautilus at tinfoil elo is so dirty, nobody knows how to counterjungle and many times pick shit like malphite jungle vs. you, so you're nearly always safe to win the game. It gets better when you get these bozos who never ward, here's some free fuck you to the face for being so careless. Especially I love these mobility champions, you just wait there for them to make some silly play, then you walk in and let them know they fucked up. Then you see them blow their flash in a way that just allows you to pull them back, it's ridiculous how people have completely forgotten Nautilus just when he was FOTM last season.

 

[Undead Phoenix]

I think every game I jungle, I cause my top laner to hate me. Which is sort of ironic considering I main top. "OMG no ganks; I ask 5 times; report"


And Ghost on Jax is a really good summoner spell. You replace half the utility of Flash with ward-jump, so Ghost is in no way a lesser option and gives you a hell of a lot more options, even vs a Cho lane.

 

[Ulminati]

It's no secret you're a terrible jungler, Phoenix.

 

[Undead Phoenix]

Yet I carried myself up to Platinum by jungling, whereas you couldn't even carry yourself up to Gold

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Somebody always hates you as the jungler. Well unless you're Zac. Then you just hate your mid who wants to take every last one of your jungle camps because he's too fucking shitty to farm his own lane.

I have discovered some new things this weekend.

1, if you time your shit pillar correctly as trundle, it bounces Tristana back when she rocket jumps. My mind was blown.
2, Draven can fuck yup Zac's Elastic Slingshot with his Stand Aside. Here was I, sure I would kill Draven, then just DRAAAAVEN WTF I'M DEAD NOW
3, Wukong is an awful champion, does nothign if built tanky, does high damage if built damage but dies. Or am I missing something?
