That's the thing, custom games don't change your hidden normal elo, or anything else. They should just be fun practice games. I have no idea why things can turn bitter some times.

It's because we know each other's weaknesses and exploit them.

I remember an in-house game where you guys banned Caitlyn... and that was the only champion I was decent with at the time.

Your explosion of laughter when I went into your channel actually got me laughing, too, in an "oh you" manner.

So why did my Halloween Quint Dodge runes get refunded?

 

[Ken]

Game is waaayyy better if you know you have a friend you can roll with some of the time. I never would have stuck with it if I didn't have a LoL crew I play with. Not that I don't solo que sometimes, but if I had to always solo que I would have bailed long ago.

Just started trying to learn LoL because my friend also just started playing. Probably would have dropped the game already after being destroyed by custom bots repeatedly if I didn't have friends playing.

 

[bjaelke]

So why did my Halloween Quint Dodge runes get refunded?

They're removing dodge as a mechanism and anyone who purchased dodge runes will get them refunded over the next few days.

What happens with Jax now? I still see Dodge Seal runes for Sale at 820IP a piece.

Play with GAF, dude. We have a level 8 playing with level 30s, hahahaha

 

[bjaelke]

He's getting a remake. Not sure what they'll do to him.

 

[Flare]

Jax is being reworked. You can still buy dodge runes, but they'll be refunded again at some point. Until they are finally removed.

 

[Boken]

Jax remake in the pipeline. Dodge seals still exist so people can rebuy them if they want, but they will be removed permanently "soon"(tm).

EDIT: Fuck. ok well... i

Your explosion of laughter when I went into your channel actually got me laughing, too, in an "oh you" manner.

And then you got sad as everybody ganked you. People seem to get more upset and worked up in in-house games. MORE PRIDE IS ON THE TABLE. too much rage.

 

[Card Boy]

I hope i get a refund on Jax aswell now, i only wanted the dodge on him.

Also what about Udyrs passive?

 

[Rayven]

great job on the OP!

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

I would love to learn how to play this game, but frankly I don't like being verbally mind-raped every 3 seconds while I'm in training wheels.

 

[Flare]

Also what about Udyrs passive?

Dodge was removed. Wasn't replaced by anything either, if I recall correctly.

 

[FallingEdge]

We do it fairly regularly. Some people don't like them though, which is saddening. People get too hung up on gaining IP and not trying to have fun.

Word. Well, I'm sitting on 30K IP so not gaining it to play some in-houses is fine by me. Hopefully, we can get some going tonight.

 

[dimb]

Also what about Udyrs passive?

They just took the dodge off Udyr's passive. Jax will probably turn out better after some work, he's kind of not great right now. Hopefully he won't have to take damage to stun.

 

[bjaelke]

No refund on Jax. Udyr will get a small nerf as a result of removing dodge, but he'll not be getting buffed in other areas.

 

[SouthernDragon]

My gank sense wasn't as good then as it is now, so I was like FUUUUUUUUUUUU stop picking on me! ;_;

To be fair, the weak link in a team should never be the AD carry.

great job on the OP!

Thank you so much!

 

[Boken]

I don't know, people seem a little nicer here.

 

[dimb]

It's super easy to get into on a base level. Because the game has such a large player population all skill levels are accounted for. When you're starting off at low levels of play you wind up in matches filled with players just like you for the most part.

 

[Merovin]

Subscribing to yet another epic thread. Great work Southern Dragon - knew it was worth the wait

Absolute Legends has merged with CLG to form CLG.eu.


Not many (active) EU people on here :/

Yeah I know :/, part of the reason I've never really bothered to try and sort something out.

 

[davidpdong]

I don't super enjoy all random because it just creates alot of awful scenarios and reinforces bad habits for people who dont already have a grasp of the basic mechanics.

 

[garath]

So mildly newbie friendly? I'm looking for a time waster in 2-3 hour spurts in the evening. This sounds like it might be the ticket.

 

[SteveO409]

Also I highly recommend watching streams. Highly informative players stream and nice to have on the second monitor.

http://clgaming.net/livestreams

 

[Card Boy]

I'm sort of glad Dodge runes where removed i guess.

I wasn't willing to work to get 13000IP plus to get them all. I have a crapload of armour runes from that Razor scam i did so those will have to do.

 

[Ken]

Play with GAF, dude. We have a level 8 playing with level 30s, hahahaha

I'll try but I'm just afraid of my inexperience bringing a team down. In most games I usually practice a ton offline before I feel comfortable enough with doing the basics like last hitting or not going 0-20 and then go online. As of right now, I still tend to just let auto attack go.

 

[SouthernDragon]

I would love to learn how to play this game, but frankly I don't like being verbally mind-raped every 3 seconds while I'm in training wheels.

Play with us! Seriously, a lot of GAFfers are knowledgeable and nice.

Word. Well, I'm sitting on 30K IP so not gaining it to play some in-houses is fine by me. Hopefully, we can get some going tonight.

Hopefully! I'm sitting on 20k, so IP gain isn't the biggest thing for me.

Although, I think I'm going to need to rework my rune pages, but I have no real idea how. The only decent ones I have are for Caitlyn and Jarvan, but that's kinda it...

And my troll GP5 masteries.

 

[Rawk Hawk]

Really nice OP.

 

[SouthernDragon]

So mildly newbie friendly? I'm looking for a time waster in 2-3 hour spurts in the evening. This sounds like it might be the ticket.

That's correct! If you play with LoL-GAF and heed their advice, it should help the transition tremendously.

I'll try but I'm just afraid of my inexperience bringing a team down. In most games I usually practice a ton offline before I feel comfortable enough with doing the basics like last hitting or not going 0-20 and then go online. As of right now, I still tend to just let auto attack go.

The best practice is playing against people, no two ways about it.

My best advice is to play in groups of 2, 3, or 5, and don't play as AD carry or jungle early on. If you use Mumble (voice chat) your game will improve dramatically.

I want some GP5 runes . My leona could really use them.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Yeah, I need to get GP5 runes, too. money money money

Really nice OP.

Thank you!

Play a bot game solo to learn your skills, and then you can start playing custom games with GAFers.

Other key is as soon as you think you want to use a champion you immediately go to Mobafire and look up builds. That'll take a lot of guess work out of playing so you can just work on your in game gameplay workings verses worrying about what to build or what skills you should focus on leveling.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Also, I am already seeing new folk in the chatroom.

The guide is a success!

 

[Wrekt]

Carried over from the other thread:

If you can hit skillshots, skarner with drag seems like a very powerful choice right now. Udyr can be really strong but I feel like mileage varies from what I see of him.

Where is this suggestion coming from? Skarner has 1 skill shot which is his E which is the least useful ability in his kit. And it jumps out instantly, so it is pretty much impossible to miss.

 

[Rawk Hawk]

I'll have to get mumble, i generally skype with the friends I play with, but one of these days I'll get the chance to hunt a few of you down and I'll need the chat.

 

[bjaelke]

Yeah I know :/, part of the reason I've never really bothered to try and sort something out.

Worst part is that even if you gathered EU people, chances are that they'll be split on both EUW and EUNE.

Edit: I keep going to the Community tab

 

[FallingEdge]

All armor and MR for me!

Although I might try movement speed quints. I used them on Malph and they are fantastic.

 

[oxrock]

Feels good to see LoL discussion in gaming again. Hopefully we can start getting more premades going.

 

[AcridMeat]

Nice OP! However it needs to be said for newcomers that a new crew of rude dudes are taking the underbelly of low ELO by storm, their name...

BAD-GAF!

 

[Wrekt]

Beginners, if you are like me and find Mobafire to be an unusably bad website, give http://SoloMid.net a try.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Congrats on escaping the community ghetto!

[Blizzard]

Where is this suggestion coming from? Skarner has 1 skill shot which is his E which is the least useful ability in his kit. And it jumps out instantly, so it is pretty much impossible to miss.

I thought Skarner's ult drag was a skillshot. I have a friend who plays Skarner a lot, and they sometimes seem to be all CRAP I MISSED THE SHOT so I assumed it was burning the ult or whatever.

 

[dimb]

Probably means they were just out of range. It's common to Flash in and then ult so they might be blowing Flash when they say that.

 

[AcridMeat]

They clicked on the wrong thing when using it. Unless you're talking about me, in which case my finger slipped uh, the game lagged, I swear I clicked them then this ghost came and took it.

It's a target skill.

 

[oxrock]

Skarner's ult is just player targeted, no skill involved. In other news, VOLLIBEAR BITCHES!
