I've noticed Dyrus' viewers have dropped massively

Which is weird cause I could swear like a month and a half ago he was atleast at 10k

was it bots

has it always been bots

(I only watch Oddone but decided to watch Dyrus tonight)

i feel like it was 10k just a few days ago

i guess bjerg and faker both streaming at the same time are cutting that down

Meh.

1. Like OddOne, he's not relevant in the scene anymore

2. He's everyone's 3rd favorite streamer, as in, people watch him when no one else is on. It's sort of like Dominate & Sneaky, they're the only major streamers who are on at certain hours.

3. I find his stream to be kind of boring tbh

 

[23qwerty]

Yeah Dyrus was like 15k last night, Bjerg, Faker, and Sneaky are all streaming, he's gonna take a big hit there

no honor amongst streamers, huh. Well the fans atleast. Fickle bunch.

Or bots. I like to believe it's bots.

Good luck zky! Shine bright like a diamond. Once you hit diamond, you're a diamond forever

i think my shade of diamond will glow a lot less bright than talents' haha

These new splash arts for Sejuani and Maokai are great. It's such a long way from the "3d model pasted to a black background" splash arts or even the old half-decent splash arts.

It's a good thing that splash arts for skins exist.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Dyrus' stream can be boring at times when he tryhards and spams Jayce. He also has a somewhat inconsistent schedule.

 

[Tizoc]

Is crit no longer favoured far as ADCs go atm?

 

[kayos90]

I like watching TheOddOne. He's funny and his streams tend to play games I like watching him play. It's not just League. Recently he played the entire Zero Escape series.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Its been that way for at least a year now. Crit is poo until you get two items so now people just rush Bork instead.

 

[Hydrophobic]

Is crit no longer favoured far as ADCs go atm?

The only thing I can tell you for sure is that if you can build BORK you should probably build bork first. If you're looking at Lucian his build of the moment is Bork into Black Cleaver. Varus I think is Bork into some zeal items along with rageblade because you're trying to generate stacks of blighted quiver. Kog'maw also builds bork into zeal & some rageblade items. Cait is def still building crit though because she scales hardest with crit.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Cait is the only crit ADC that should still go crit first.

 

[Tizoc]

Thanks for the info.
Guinsoo on varus is rather interesting.

 

[Hydrophobic]

Thanks for the info.
Guinsoo on varus is rather interesting.

I think it largely has to do with the fact that it gives you a ton of attack speed and the passive applies on-hit attacks twice on every other auto attack. So bork & popping blighted quiver stacks both give you %hp damage.

 

[Gurrry]

Im new to jungling, but there is nothing quite like having someone on your own team try to steal the last hit of red buff from you.

Man oh man this game is toxic

On the first clear that's legit someone trying to throw the game.

Yeah that's just trying to throw the game right there.

On another note related to jungling, me and Newt had a game the other day where the enemy Rammus got 4 buffed cause Newt stole his blue and our jungler stole his red. He didn't get a single buff in his first clear which was so painful to watch especially because it was a Rammus jungle and he already sucks at clearing.

Also NA junglers have an obsession with feeding my lane double buffs. It must have happened more times in the couple of months I've played on NA than the whole time I played on EUW.

 

[Leezard]

What a dreamy teamcomp.

Usually I'd say Yasuo is gonna get hard dicked by Jayce, but Yas is playing the master race Yasuo skin so I'm not sure...

they said mf is next

i hope they redo her model too but unlikely

i can't wait 'til they get to lux and ori. i feel like half the reason i bought those shitty skins is to be really pumped when they redo the splashes

 

[Envelope]

? Why MF?

 

[JulianImp]

Man, it's really funky how ARAM teams can sometimes end up being five immobile melee champs against five ranged poke mages. Meanwhile, my large support pool means I'm often stuck with them (Rakan's pretty cool in ARAM, though), and some champs such as Lulu are downright boring to play when you can get paired against too many bursty all-in champs for your W and R to handle.

Having copied the tear start from a Ziggs, I'd say it's a great item to get when you want to spam ranged poke the whole match without having to pay attention to your mana.

 

[Gurrry]

Yeah he was mad because I called jungle first. I ended up smiting it right at the right time, but he flashed in and tried to get the last hit.

He then went on to go 2-10.

And really though, even if it isnt the first clear and one of your team mates is clearly trying to get that buff... you shouldnt flash in to steal it no matter what IMO.

It was a clown fiesta. Yasuo got ganked early but he won anyway against Jayce.

Hey dude lay off, that change only happened 1 year ago. Not everyone is going to know.

That looks like an absolutely terrible game to play lucian.

I hadn't even noticed that. Ouch.

Pretty much. Lucian was easily the best player on the enemy team, but it didn't matter since he got blown up so easily once midgame came along.

 

[zkylon]

? Why MF?

not sure what's their criteria, but her splashes could use updating so it's fine

how do u feel about taric atm

i keep pestering my duo buddy to play him cos i love playing with taric on my team but he's not a huge fan

 

[JulianImp]

I won't be playing Taric in the foreseeable future since I absolutely suck at reliably making good reactive plays. That also reminds me of the time I played Zilean and all my ults were either too late (and the intended recipient was already dead before I got to cast the spell) or in situations where it wasn't even needed in the first place.

Might as well go back to playing normals to practice non-Nami supports, since I'm kind of burned out from otping her. Teemo's still fine for the most part, but I've noticing I'm sort of apathetic when it comes to actually playing ranked matches... solo's just too boring. My cousin finally hit level 30 a while ago, so I guess I might start playing ranked with him once he's found a secondary role he feels comfortable in.

I never see him played, I never play him myself. I don't really have a strong opinion on him but he can sustain against some mid-tier poke lanes.

Then don't be reactive =). You'd be shocked how effective ult'ing yourself and just walking into the enemy champs can be. Don't be scared to start fights with him.

I never see him played, I never play him myself. I don't really have a strong opinion on him but he can sustain against some mid-tier poke lanes.

If I can avoid running Taric into poking supports I do so. His sustain is too mana intensive. In lane I find Taric excels against heavy engage supports (Thresh, Blitz, Alistar, etc.). If the opposing support needs to get in my carry's face to do their thing, they're going to have an awful, awful time. I even prefer running him into those sort of supports more than Tahm or Braum because he doesn't just protect the carry, he'll turn the engage around and punish hard.

yeah the latter point is why i want him to play taric

honestly i want him to play more "carry" style supports than just lulu/karma/nami every game, so i'm trying to direct him towards zyra/malzahar/alistar/etc.

and i just happen to find taric really fun so that's my idea

 

[PhillipCostigan]

is there an MSI thread?

 

[Talents]

Inhouse time boys. Get on you shits.

 

[zkylon]

would be cool but i'm not feeling up to it on top of being sick atm so hopefully someone else will do it

where's that edweirdo when u most need him

I love Taric myself. Problem is that he's just a wee bit undertuned at the moment, IMO. Which is fine, it just means that his bad match-ups are worse than they probably should be. Unlike say Tahm or Braum where you can justify a bad match-up during laning because it won't be that bad and the team fit might be worth the aggravation.

I'd check if wants to play Braum.

I haven't gotten to play much at all in the last few months but Taric really is quite fun to play. I balrely played him before the rework and he went up to my most played pretty fast.

You're a bit more at the mercy of your team's positioning than other supports (and dear god vs poke in lane phase) but he is such a disgusting enabler for a lot of champs that are already snowball-y. It feels really rewarding when your random diamond in the rough (no pun intended) assassin or dive-y jungler uses your beam to land an extra cheesy stun, or uses your ult to dive the backline unopposed.

 

[zkylon]

thanks for the advice u guys

i'll relay

but i hate braum lol

maybe i should tell him to play alistar

i've finally tilted completely out of this game, who wants an all-but-10-champs account

 

[zkylon]

i kind of really hate the ahri stories they put up, ever since a new dawn they've been doing this really "fragile" suffering ahri that's really lame and not in the slightest the sultry and cool soul sucking succubus she's supposed to be

it's well written and everything but that's not ahri

they did the same thing with lux, stop making girl characters be all whiny and sad, that's lame
