Spectating a SteveWinwood match when 2 other dudes start talking random shit. Was very entertaining.

I laughed

 

[twobear]

but why, it's not even a funny joke. it's not like one of those jokes where you feel bad about laughing. this is swm privilege to a tee.

 

[Drkirby]

Jesus PPD.

Then its revealed Aui 2000 is now the captain of EGs B team (Alliance downgraded to C), and this entire bit of drama was just the players messing with reddit.

now that would be funny

IMO it's a good jab at aui leaking his EG kick on twitter. I find that funny.

Whoever was playing Tinker was the MVP. He killed Steve like two hundred times.

I was Dazzle

STEVELOSEWOOD sucks!

Oh man, at one point you used Shallow Grave on an illusion and the spectators went wild.

there's a reason we call her stevefeedwood

What did he do now?

Oh, I see.

I don't get it, why is this comment douchey?

I'm stanning for Unibers. Don't care about the others (except maybe Fear)

remake ET's model to the actual ET from the movie ET

there you go. I'll email valve my info so they can pay me

Because aui learned he'd been kicked from EG before the official statement was released?

 

[Hylian7]

Okay, I'm getting real fucking tired of seeing QoP every single game. Particularly I'm tired of playing Storm against her, and I love Storm. Just laning vs her is so fucking miserable.

 

[TUSR]

pick ta hylian

get 5k

 

[Hylian7]

pick ta hylian

get 5k

I do sometimes. QoP's still a pain in the ass due to shadowstrike.

 

[TUSR]

if they dont sentry mid

ez lane

 

[Hylian7]

But seriously though, how does one beat QoP in lane as Storm? I mean most games it's a lost lane, and I can recover after that, but then if the other lanes aren't doing well enough it's over.

 

[TUSR]

pick qop yourself

 

[Imp the Dimp]

IMO it's a good jab at aui leaking his EG kick on twitter. I find that funny.

Yeah, agreed. I could see why PPD is upset that Aui didn't wait for the EG's official statement. Made EG look like the villains even though nobody has any idea what happened.

 

[Hylian7]

pick qop yourself

Any actual tips?

When you win TI and then are promptly kicked, do you really think he cares about his former team "looking like the villain"?

 

[twobear]

picking qop is good advice, you'll get to learn what makes the hero good and bad.

also when impthedimp agrees a joke is funny, u know u have a bad sense of humour.

I've played QoP this patch, I'm not great at her, but I know what her strengths and weaknesses her. I know Storm is a bad matchup vs her, that's what I"m asking about.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I don't care and apparently, neither does PPD. Aui did not act like a professional. Ultimately, they're all children who are in dire need of PR representatives. The last days have been pathetic and embarassing for everyone in the scene.

 

[twobear]

then don't play storm against her if you want to win?

[edit] i mean there's acting unprofessionally and acting like a cunt, they're slightly different

 

[TUSR]

But seriously though, how does one beat QoP in lane as Storm?

I know Storm is a bad matchup vs her

dont pick storm into qop or pick qop yourself

i mean, if youre not getting anything from the lane with remnant and overload harass because she sits on you with shadow strike, get help from your supports

 

[Hylian7]

then don't play storm against her if you want to win?

Completely missing the point. Bad matchups happen for whatever reason, and I'm asking how to at least make the best of it.

play defensively? ask your team to gank? get someone to buy an urn?

 

[TUSR]

id probably just bottle crow until you get 6, then shadow strike isnt an issue

Fair enough, just thought there might be some trick I'm missing to win the lane.

 

[twobear]

if you're in a really bad lane my usual attitude is to just try to minimise how badly i lose until i can make myself useful elsewhere.

 

[JC Sera]

Btw I've perfected the survey by adding less variables

Spoiler

and naga siren

, should I let it loose on reddit

Spoiler

and make a "What is your MMR?" question and see how many liars there are

@Hylian, hope you're dire and stack hard camps so you can catch up (to orchid?) if she kills you.

 

[Drkirby]

My best advice is to watch Sumail. It looks like the reality is that you don't win, and you make heavy use of the jungle to catch up on lost ground.
