Damn seems like I can't see any of my friends in euw , just get an unknown error whenever I log in tried to repair but doesn't seem to make any difference, is it just me?

Chat server is down, it seems.

edit: 5 minutes later I could reconnect to chat and it seems to work kinda fine. I can see three people on my friend list.

Interesting. Just had a Garen game where I lead the game in:

- Kills (1/3 of all the team's kills)
- Gold (3k more than anyone else in the game)
- Total damage done
- CS (~320 in about 35 minutes).

Had just 1 death. Just an S.

Maybe total kills is an important variable? Had 9, but our team had only 27.

You should start practicing smart-casting. It makes using your combos and abilities much faster and smoother, and makes reacting to the enemy much easier. Almost as important as learning to play with unlocked camera. Knowing the distance on your champ's abilities just comes with practice.

O.O

it's where instead of pressing a skill and then selecting where you want the skill to go, you just press the skill and it goes to wherever your mouse is, significantly better than the default way. most people use smartcast once they get the hang of the game I think.

go into your keybind settings when in game and there's a little thing you click below each skill button to enable smart cast

see the little arrow below each key and number?

it takes a while to get used to but it's significantly better to use overall imo

Will try this out, not sure how it's gonna work on every champ I play though.
THanks!

In other news, all my non Sion Mid games have been sooo bad tonight. The Cass one was a damn pain, let someone swap mid with me in the lobby. They fed and tho my Cho shat on Jax there was lil I could do when he actually started building lifesteal and no one would come top side to help.

Been using Ghost instead of Flash recently and OMG ... I like this WAAAAY more than flash! Easy to run away with, easy to chase people down with ...works so well. I'm guessing it's best for tanky or brawler melee champs though. It did save my Cass a few times though ... thinking of trying it on Kass seeing as after level 6 he basically gets a dmg Flash.

How much did you ward? Both trinkets and pink wards count.

2, maybe 3 pinks and not sure how many yellows. Quite a few. split pushing offlane so I was dropping them as often as they were available.

 

[Calvero]

Don't know why, but I woke up thinking about the last game of the in-house. What a fiesta

Holy crap, I don't play with these in mind.

No wonder I stuck in Bronze for ever.

I feel kind of dirty.

Still only an A+

Urf garen is broken and is the literal description of spin to win.

AP wukong probably my new favorite urf thing

kinda like singed

singed is hilarious to use in URF. flipping people back while they're mid dash or jump is fun.

 

[Calvero]

Finally tried Alistar in URF. That was hilarious.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Ever had one of those games where your Blitz doesn't know he shouldn't grab a DARIUS?

Yea.

Bad touch

 

[Calvero]

I remember when I first started League and played Blitz. I'd always kill my ADC by hooking someone to them.

 

[Talents]

Just like this

 

[pigeon]

URF Swain is probably not that strong but his level 1 is kind of absurd. Two crows at a time. If they teleport to turret you can probably chunk them back to base.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Just like this

worst part is he did it 3 times. You'd think after the first time he wouldn't do it again. But nope, some people only understand Blitz in so much as

"can I grab something? If yes, grab."

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Just like this

As someone who used to play a lot of Blitz, this made me laugh pretty good.

 

[Calvero]

it's the lee sin effect

did I land my q?
if yes, go in.

Another day, another Illaoi S+

<3 the Queen

She really is a good pick against comps that have to go in hard to team fight. Like a Malph, Diana, Yasuo combination, for example. lol

 

[Mostmanlyman]

How is Kog right now, i wonder if PBE triforce would be good on him.

Damn. That's nice. She looks really fun, but so many kept saying she sucked or was boring after release so I never touched. She sure seems like a good time though.

 

[Newt]

I actually really like Illaoi's design. When playing against Illaoi nothing really seems unfair.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Illaoi is like a graham cracker. Sure, it's good, but nobody wakes up saying "Man, I'm in the mood for a graham cracker today."

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Illaoi is like a graham cracker. Sure, it's good, but nobody wakes up saying "Man, I'm in the mood for a graham cracker today."

I don't disagree. I just find her to be a really effective pick against dive-happy comps. I've found pretty good success with her in and out of ranked (that screen shot was a decent ranked match I suppose). People are often times not ready for the tentacle slaps. That said, she's legit awful against mobile picks, which represent a large portion of the meta. My eyes light up when I see a lack of mobility in the same way Yi pickers get horny when they see no cc on the enemy team.

Cinnamon Graham Cracker? Yo those are the bomb man. Don't you dare insult the Graham Cracker. I wake up every day thinking it's a good time for a Graham Cracker. Mhmmmm.

Yeah, I've had a few Illaois carry me with her kit under the right circumstances. I just wish more people knew when to pick her.

 

[Newt]

I love people saying her name.


Also, I love this.

I dont understand the loot system. My teammates earned S+ and I didnt receive a chest. Plus I never received a chest on this character (Taric)

 

[Stone Ocean]

To get chests from teammates S ranks you need to be in a premade with them.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I dont understand the loot system. My teammates earned S+ and I didnt receive a chest. Plus I never received a chest on this character (Taric)

also every champion can only get you one loot chest ever

and if your teammates get an S on a champion, that champion becomes locked out even if you're not premade

and you can only get 1 chest per game meaning if multiple queued up teammates get an S, you only get 1

That's my understanding.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Finally tried Alistar in URF. That was hilarious.

AP Alistar is so much fun. One game I got absolutely rekt by an Ahri who would charm me mid-headbutt, flash my headbutt and charm, ult away from headbutt and charm etc. and then proceed to one shot me through my ultimate. Forever tilted after that game.

Tried Caitlyn for luls and her lane phase is even more dominant with Q spam. R every 18 seconds is hilarious. Once you hit late game it's business as usual; killing squishies with 2 autos. Honestly that champ feels like cheating when you get full build.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Swains becoming instaban.

I don't know how to feel about this.

 

[pigeon]

I was wrong, Swain's incredibly stupid in URF. I just built him wrong the first time. Build Rylai's early, Oprah's giving out slows.

 

[Calvero]

what's the most unfun thing i could try out in URF? and when I say unfun, I don't mean OP. literally something that would make you say "why the fuck would you pick that?"

aurelion sol

You take that back! I just got an S with him in Urf. Being able to keep my stars going 24/7 makes him pretty good. But yeah...he kind of sucks in Urf. Can't take real great advantage of the mode as much as other champions can.

Zyra was damn fun in Urf. Probably the most fun I've had.

Fiddle. He has to channel and he relies on healing.

Kayle is also a super tedious pick for everybody since all you do is float up and auto people and bubble.

Maybe Yasuo, since the URF CDR doesn't affect him at all outside of windwall and ult.

the way attack speed stacks would probably feel good on his q
