So, anyone playing League of Legends?

[Berekän]

Cho'Gath es uber alles in URF

 

[PlanHex]

If anyone missed it, this was fun as hell:

 

[Berekän]

Terribru picks by TSM.

 

[Ulminati]

Needed more Sona, Riven, Hec and Kat. But it was still lulzy.

 

[Azael]

Sona feels silly as fuck in this mode. Good derpy fun, probably the best off-beat mode that Rito has made so far.

 

[Ulminati]

You can play U.R.F. in custom game maps. Like Howling Abyss! :3

 

[PlanHex]

Only tried 3 games so far, but having a blast. Tried Sona and LeBlanc so far. They're so much fun, but a little too op perhaps. Infinite chains are fun for me, but not so much the opponent.

Didn't get to play at all yesterday because I was completely mesmerized by bjergsen's stream. One game he got something like 60/8/x on zed. It's pretty insane:


Wish there were some videos of Faker going nuts in URF, but can't find any

 

[Renegen]

I saw that Zed game it was special. Do keep in mind that he was usually 5+ levels above everyone else. When he became the same level as everyone, he started dying and even then he had an item advantage.

 

[Azael]

So, Rito keeps their rework machine going. Haven't tried new Rango yet and have never been much of a stabby tabby player, so I have no opinion on him. Saw him in two games though, looks a bit less obnoxious when ahead than before at least. New Gragas seems p. cool, though different from old one he seems to fit the drunk brawler image a lot better now. Should be good in the jungle now.

 

[Renegen]

So how's URF been for everyone? Best mode ever personally, it's fast, it's fun and you learn a ton. I've been spamming Nocturne to grind some IP and in anticipation of him being viable again and learning a ton how to play against every enemy. It's basically Summoner's Rift but instead of 40 minutes of rage it's just 10-15 minutes of accelerated fun. Amazingly I'm 7-2 with him, sure his Spell Shield comes in handy against the AP here but it really opens up your mind to what your champion does well.

As far as the new 4.5 patch runes, I really have no clue what to get. Armor yellow, health yellow, cooldown blues, cooldown quints, thoughts?

 

[Azael]

No idea about runes really... Those scaling HP yellows I bought ages ago when I thought Zlad would become my new main look a lot more appealing now though. Also considering two AS quints for my jungle page now that LS quints are weaker and new Feral Flame looks so appealing on some guys.

 

[Azael]

Also, Guinsoo has returned and is reworking Fiora. I wonder how OP she will be when he's done with her.

 

[Markman]

Played a bit of URF mode. lol
Funny shit. They should keep this mode, good for derping and relaxing play.
Playing Gangplank was fun. Starting Q with 1 sec cooldown. Heca's Q is a riot, its available before the animation ends. Soraka and Nida are OP in this mode what Ive noticed.

 

[Erzherzog]

Kayle banned from URF mode. Fun fun til the daddy took the T-Bird away.

 

[PlanHex]

Kinda surprised they didn't ban Eve and Ez while they were at it.
Well, at least there's room to ban something else besides them every game.

 

[Hellraiser]

Why ban eve in URF? Fuck, even wukong gives me nightmares more so than eve does in URF. Or shen (lol, infinite shield!). Or Galio.

In other news magewick is quite the cunt in URF, though not as silly as some other picks.

 

[Renegen]

I don't think Nidalee was worth a ban, she had the same problems as in normal games, get's initiated on and cc'ed she's dead. By that logic Jayce is scarier.

 

[Erzherzog]

The reason Nidalee is the new champ for Riot to hate. Simply the next in a lon g line starting with Irelia.

 

[Azael]

So, Wriggle's has gone from worst item in LoL to superstrong. Aatrox with AS quints and FF feels so fucking strong, solo Baron Nashor like a boss. Haven't tried it on other candidates yet. Nocturne, Yi and Trundle are the ones I want to test, Jax too I guess.

 

[Azael]

Also, Maokai in URF, so much fun. Saplings every where.

 

[Erzherzog]

Didn't work for TheOddOne though.

 

[Azael]

Meh, what does he know about Mao anyway.

 

[Renegen]

Back into gold after 3-0ing my promos. I had the pleasure of using Nocturne in two of those wins and the new Feral Flare with a new farm-heavy strategy. Both Nocturne games went pretty much how I thought they would, my teammates flaming the fuck out of me for not ganking.

The first game was a Lulu mid that was losing to Fiddle and pinging for assistance at the 3 minute mark and made sure to insult my manhood because I couldn't gank a flash-less Fiddle. The game ended in a 20 minute stomp though.

The second game was a bit more hellish... hopefully the worst that soloque has to offer. First the 5th pick goes all Godfather on us in pre-game because he's forced to support, "it would be a shame if I lost the game for you". Bot lane loses their tower at 6 minutes while our top on the other hand is Master Yi and is raging super hard because I wasn't ganking the Shyvana, yeah like that's going to turn into a kill. Then Draven goes afk for 5 minutes just as every tower is getting pounded. I think at least 2 people on my team wanted to report me. Mid won though and I tried to split push and we delayed the game long enough somehow, got some lucky teamfights and a baron and went for the win, but not without Leona kicking and screaming, not doing anything and generally just trolling to the point that everyone on the team changed their reporting priorities to her. I even had to engage in some rat troll diplomacy and compliment her on how essential she was just before the final fight.

After the game I was chatting with a diamond Nocturne main that I added and he remarked to tell your team that you're going to "power farm and won't gank much", yeah I think that's something that I will try out.

 

[Erzherzog]

I absolutely hate it when people scream for ganks in situations where it's an almost assured ass kicking.

I'm glad that at this point people get what jungling entails but it's aggravating that some people still think "I'm losing lane -> Jungler needs to gank" I'm not going to waste my time giving you 1 wave to free farm by forcing them back. We get nothing from that. I also love it when I mid and my jungler goes full retard and towerdives early, and gives the enemy double buff. Makes the lane nearly unwinnable against a competent opponent. People are simply too insistent on ganks, thankfully power-farming junglers are now a thing, and Riot is planning to make tank junglers a thing again.

Actually, that's yet another thing that annoys me. People that insist on tank junglers like it's season two. Nowadays there's what, Amumu for top tier junglers that are tanks? If the enemy team picks 3 tanks and leaves just their mid and adc for damage, I'm not matching that up with tanks of my own. I'll probably go an assassin and simply dive their damage dealers and walk away easily.

/rant

 

[Markman]

Always blame the jungler. OMG I got ganked all day long thats why I fed. I lost the lane cause you didnt gank. etc etc
People do get ganked. Be it by a top lane teleport, mid lane roam or a jungler. Or even better, by all together. Its pointless thing to rage about, IMO.
And dont play assassins unless you're really good at mechanics, timing and prediction. You will get melted and be pretty much the sole reason why your team lost the game.
So playing jungle tanks is more safe pick, you can screw up and still make it out alive most of the time. I eat wannabe carry junglers all day long with my tank junglers.

Oh, and our Suomi carried me back to Platinum 4. Sweet. Time to get demoted again.

edit
Lol, had a nice run climbed up to 88 LP in plat 4 then the retard invasion came along.
Bro we duo bot, we rape, said Lucian that was 0/5 15 minutes in. First time Nidalee with first time Riven in second game. Boosted Vayne in last third one with trololo AP Trist mid. back to 30 LP.
