League of Legends |OT13| Diamond is Unreachable

Heroes has a lot of different maps and modes, but the game itself doesn't work very well and lacks depth.

Adding a reward system won't help that much. Buying champions is even worse in Heroes than it is in League.

Also, I think I should mention that time of day you play at really matters.

Now I play at around 3PM PST and I've been a lot more successful.
idk, i get really random results no matter what time i play

i think that kind of thinking is kind of like people having "strats" at casinos lol

Ori is disgustingly op tho
hardly

ori is easier to punish than someone like ahri/anivia

all the overloaded stuff is kinda silly imo

Ori continues to be Riot's best designed champion.

She's fun, she has counterplay, her kit is always relevant but not disgusting, and her actual concept is cool.

Sometimes she needs some tuning but Ori is what all champions should strive to be.
100% agreed
 
The time you play determines how likely you are to run into children. Sure, it won't protect you from manchildren, but it's a way to not have to deal with hissy fits as often.
 
what if they made anivias ultimate global. When you turn it on, everything on the map gets hit and slows down

pros: good initiation

Cons: pushes minions faster

there balanced

Made it to plat promos. I can feel myself slipping up a little more than usual lately but I still think I can crush them.

Ill probably finish my games this evening.
 
Glorious Gold Promos here we go. Will blog about each game. Going into game 1 right now with Rumble against Gangplank. Strong gank threat for him with Xin Zhao and lots of magic damage late game with Viktor and Kog so I've gone for defensive runes. Here goes...

good luck dude

happy to see u post here
 
Game 1: Very intense game but a quick victory in the end. I got strong harass off levels 1 and 2 and had an easy lane phase from then on, with Xin showing up around 3:30 caught by my ward. Bot was a bit of a disaster, with Lucian dying twice early and their Kog having a ton of pressure. I get my first kill of the game with a TP gank on the pushing Kog but this lets GP catch up in cs. For some reason, he decides not to buy any MR and I blow him up as soon as I return to lane with ult + Haunting Guise + Boots. Then he comes back and dies to me solo again (he has Sheen + Stinger, not even a Ruby Crystal), before I TP gank bot lane again and end up 4-0. He gets first tower as a result. By 15 mins I'm 6-0 but the game is still close, but when I counter-gank Viktor when he roams bot lane we win a huge engagement. It gets us three kills, two towers, a cancelled TP, and a ton of wards in their jungle. Yasuo is holding top and he kills GP at the same time. I die for the first time when they tower dive me in mid lane when we retreat, but they overcommit for it and give up a triple kill to Shaco. Me, Yasuo and Shaco are all super strong and our Thresh has good vision in their jungle, so after a couple of pickoffs they soon surrender.

Edit: Thanks for the good wishes.

Beat Horizon today, fantastic game, great ending.

Then I played a match of League.

So now I'm considering spending cash I should not spend on Nier so I don't have to play this while waiting for Persona (^:

Hey, so I'm playing too and I just got to the point where I find out
Ted Faro is an asshole that killed all the project alphas, and I need to stop Hades from getting the spire.
I feel like I'm close to the end of the game. Am I close?
 
Game 2: So champion select has an autofilled support desperate to switch to another role. He gets his way and swaps with the AD carry. It's evident my mid and jungler are duo queued as the pick for each other without speaking (Zed/Fiddlesticks). I'm laning into an Akali for the first time in ages, and there's no tanks on either team (unless you count Braum). Looks like it'll be a bit wild. Honestly, I prefer their draft with Ori and MF to help open up chances for Kha and Akali to go in. We're relying a bit more on Zed/Fid/Vayne to make outplays.

And unfortunately they don't turn out to be capable of it. I misplay during an early Fiddle gank and let Akali away, but manage to kill her shortly after. Kha'Zix, meanwhile, is having a field day with our Vayne, who keeps overextending and getting caught. It's a chaotic mess of a game where I can't find the chances to roam out of lane often enough to impact it much. No less than six champions manage to break 20K damage to champions in 30 minutes. While we keep up in kills, they are much more effective in taking objectives, protecting all of their towers, partly because Orianna lets them play more aggressively but largely because their Kha'Zix is up in our jungle and dominating Fid. He gets a sneaky lane gank off on me too. There's a section of the game where I end up laning 2v1 against Orianna and Braum (eventually they double flash and kill me) while my team gets slaughtered by Kha outplays across the map. Definitely one where if I'd been on old Maokai - my tank of choice - I'd have had more chance of influencing it. This was just too fast paced for ultimate reliant champions Rumble and Fiddle to keep up without building a large lead. 1-1.

Yeah, you're at the end. You'll be given a point of no return warning if you wanna wrap things up before the final stretch... it's second point of no return in the game (the first one threw me off but this one's for real, heh).

Game still drops you right before the final mission after the credits to get anything you've missed so no worries. But I did all the side content prior to completing the game and I'd encourage you to do the same. It's not ME2 so you're not gonna get a shit ending or anything like that but there's a couple neat little optional dialogues and it feels much better this way.

Ending was def emotional for me.

Do it
Nier Is good stuff

I can't justify juggling too many games atm and starting next week I'm not sure how much free time I'll have.

I've already done all the side content as far as I can tell. Can't find any more side quests. So I'm looking forward to the ending.

I have 21 side misisons done and 14 errands if that helps.

Regarding the sidequests, the important thing is that you get to
talk to all the NPC allies you've met and helped in those
(right before the point of no return) and they
participate in the final mission
. It was a very neat touch.

Were you a bit disappointed by the power cell quest reward? The effect is cool and that shit is fucking OP but I expected to get the full thing lmao. Also what did you do at the end of Nil's quest?

Also, like in every game lately there's an extra scene after the credits. You can skip them when the prompt comes up np.

Yeah the power cell stuff was okay. With Nil I decided to
let him live and not fight him.
I'm hyped up to see the post credits scene too. Horizon has been good from start to finish. Also I wish
I could go back in time and punch Ted Faro, jesus christ. What an idiot. Thanks, asshole.

That was the good decision regarding Nil imo.
He'll show up with the other NPCs at the final mission
. Quite the character.

__Ted__
is really the embodiment of the "local man ruins everything" meme lmao.
