I think I'm done playing in the preseason right now, lol. Like 1/4 of the games have a dc or a troll in them.

I dunno, I guess I should be glad the report system doesn't do anything, but ehh.

Aren't you in Diamond or something like that? I'm rather confused how you got stuck with that lousy Leblanc. she should've just hid under her tower if she was that awful and just never got any CS. Better to not do anything then feed

 

[Nekofrog]

if you're irelia and you didn't die before 6 you can take the lane over by 7

How steep is the learning curve here? From the looks of this thread and from what my friends have said, the vast majority of the players are toxic which indicates a shallow game that appeals to the masses.

But exports seems pretty serious which conflicts the above.

What I'm really asking is if I do start playing this game, should I just concentrate on becoming an expert at one class or whatever you people call them in this? So as to become the troll king?

I'm going to make the most obvious joke imaginable here and tell you to play trundle to be the troll king

be the biggest nerdboi to get challenjour

 

[Nekofrog]

this thread has gotten really bad lately. clean it up please.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

no mods to get rid of the deadnames alts.

 

[jerd]

Interesting bit about new stormraiders is it apparently makes you immune to self slows as well

 

[Ghost is Bad]

lol that's hilarious

still probably wont make it good though.

 

[Mostmanlyman]

lol that's hilarious

still probably wont make it good though.

Yeah damage is always going to be better for assassin, but that would be pretty good on some of them.

 

[zkylon]

just in case this wasnt a troll post since neko is like the fun police here

How steep is the learning curve here?

really steep, barely any help in the game for new players. look for guides online (lolwiki, summoner school subreddit, lolking guides) or ask here if u have questions

From the looks of this thread and from what my friends have said, the vast majority of the players are toxic

lots of negative bias there, vast majority of players are neutral but ppl only remember the few that ruin their games. but there's lots of toxicity yea

which indicates a shallow game that appeals to the masses.

this doesn't make any sense

But exports seems pretty serious which conflicts the above.

what?

What I'm really asking is if I do start playing this game, should I just concentrate on becoming an expert at one class or whatever you people call them in this?

it's recommended to specialize in classes and champions but early on just play whatever you want and focus on learning basic skills and finding what you find fun about the game

So as to become the troll king?

again, what

...

sigh

lol that's hilarious

still probably wont make it good though.

maybe on xerath?

now that i think about it, would be really cool and broken if there was a mastery that reduced cast times

 

[Ghost is Bad]

ur trying too hard m8

 

[Wolf Akela]

Does the ability damage mastery apply to all spells regardless of type?

Does Thunderlord trigger on DoTs?

 

[Ghost is Bad]

i think so

pretty much any damaging ability will proc thunderlords

 

[Nekofrog]

even modifiers count. for example, you can W and then Q leap strike as Jax onto something and proc it with the auto after you land, because technically the W modifier counts and is applied at the same time as the Q.

little things like that make thunderlords really stupid on some champions.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

nm dots dont proc thunderlords

tested it with brand.

Damn i didnt know about that jax thing.
Now some games you see every single person taking thunderlords.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

thats because pretty much every other offensive mastery sucks ass unless you're brand with deathfire

 

[Calvero]

Just do something stupid and type "oro?" in all chat

lol

 

[Edwardo]

Zky, exports was a typo he meant esports.

i'm having a slow brain day lol

slower than usual, at least

Pretty sure Kayle can Q and do one empowered auto for an instant proc as well

 

[Wolf Akela]

I was proccing it with Morg W last night. :/ I guess its not really DoT.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I was proccing it with Morg W last night. :/ I guess its not really DoT.

Morg's W is more like an AoE that does damage 5 times

 

[Nekofrog]

Yeah I had the same thought run through my head too in regards to dots but then realized it's not a dot per se, just an aoe damage field

 

[Ghost is Bad]

wat

 

[Leezard]

wat

that's one boot and one book for each bottom tentacle as well as a rod for the top tentacle. Checks out.

 

[zkylon]

Morg's W is more like an AoE that does damage 5 times

didn't it get change to do damage twice as often?

maybe it's not flagged correctly

lots of things in league are inconsistent like that

 

[Ghost is Bad]

people are actually doin rqew mf lol

fkn thunderlords

 

[zkylon]

that's why ad is dumb, too many champions using the same stat must be a nightmare to balance

league should really consider rethinking their stats, there's lots of wonky class overlapping with ad and ap, weird things like flat arpen and mpen being really good against squishies, dmg based on defensive stats, stats that only some classes use like crit or stats that only two champions use like spell vamp

it's a really messy system

 

[Ghost is Bad]

so what ur saying is

 

[Nekofrog]

I'm okay with the basicstart distribution as is. Attack damage, ability power, armor, mr, movement speed, etc is all fine

Its the crit crap that I really dislike

 

[Orochinagis]

So Kayle is good again?

 

[Ghost is Bad]

nope

 

[Orochinagis]

profound sadness

Sorry, I'm the troll king here. Of course, you can attempt to take my title.

 

[zkylon]

so what ur saying is

i haven't played enough doto to say but it started out sounding great cos it's like "i'm a mage i build magic" but in the end you still have to deal with like 10 more stats cos you still have to build mana, regen and cdr

i don't think "less stats" is the goal, just better ones

You will become better faster if you focus on one class of champs, yes.

 

[faridmon]

Guys, hear me out:

I honestly think some can control the pings

Last game, my ping was crazy high when were doing good, and came back again to 40 when we were behind.

and its not only that match I have noticed!

Just play and out-troll the trolls

I dont know if loldrop is still a thing.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Never understood how some of you people can play with 60+ ping.

 

[Leezard]

Never understood how some of you people can play with sub-60 ping.

Do you mean over 60 ping?

Sub-60 ping is fine.

Edit : that's an edit
