Just played my first game! First time playing this type of game too!

Spoiler

I went 0-22-1

Think I'll do the tutorial now.

Yup I was bad when I first started as well. Just gotta play alot of games. And by alot, I mean alot.

Spoiler

I'm still bad.

Hi guys, just wanted to pop in and say I think you're all pretty great.

My gaming time has taken a sharp downturn due to intense schooling/work schedules, but I may be back in a few months if time allows.

I miss Opiate yelling at me when I didn't stay in a bush once, that's why I quit League for a couple of months.

Add another $10 to the wallet of shame

 

[Cathcart]

OK haven't watched any of the games today. What's the best one to check out?

 

[Ferga]

It blows my mind how stupid some people are at this game. They legit think this is a single player game or just farmville. keep pinging to come somewhere, they go top, get some farm, go back, by that time we lose two turrets.

Brain dead people on my team everytime

I need to learn a new AP mid, I can only play Lux, what other ap mid is like Lux that isn't Lux?

 

[bjaelke]

AP Ezreal

Spoiler

please dont

Morgana? Not really, but she's got a snare, AoE spell and a shield, so it's pretty close.

If like myself you're into skillshots you could try Ahri, but really I haven't found any champ that's as fun as Lux is.

 

[Neki]

yeah I don't think anyone will match Lux, release another Lux Riot!

Janna Syndra Zyra

Don't know how they relate to lux but they popped up in my head

 

[zkylon]

Zyra's cool as a utility AP mid, buy I guess there's a reason everyone plays her support nowadays. Compares to Lux in having both a high range AoE and snare spells. Times I've played her I couldn't land a single snare though

Orianna is also a utility AP mid and one of my favorites, though she plays pretty much nothing like Lux. Her QW damage is awesome, though, and playing with her ball leads to some super awesome plays that you don't think yourself capable of.

---

I think I may buy Kha'Zix. He seems to be in a pretty good place right now and I think I may like him. Will I like him?

Hmmm...

---

Also horrible PBE pings:

Personally I think they're a bit too many for me, but I'd definitely appreciate the MIA ping, if only to avoid having to take my hand off my mouse.

 

[bjaelke]

Get him before the inevitable nerfs. KhaZix, that is.


Damn this is one close match.

 

[CountBlack]

AP Ezreal

Spoiler

please dont

Had one of those on my team

I don't think he ever played Ez before

So for my first Neogaf post (long time lurker for obvious reasons) I figured I'd put myself through the wallet of shame. Searched my email for "league of legends" and the earliest result is an email to a few friends which reads...

Holy balls, League of Legends is going to be FREE guys!!!

Heh.

Been playing since beta (39 months) and it turns out I've spent $360. Just have a genuine weakness for skins. Always justify it by spending very little on other games and the fact I spend far less than some other people I know.

Cheers It'll be NA as I'm an Aussie burdened by disgusting internet (219 best ping NA).

 

[Diprosalic]

i played against a good tresh yesterday and i could do nothing. he picked me and killed me so many times.

 

[Agkel]

With the double ip boost going on, would it be wise/worth it, to buy a 3 day boost now for x3 boost.

 

[Ken]

So many Wukongs today.

All useless.

I don't think it stacks, to be honest.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

It makes me so happy to see a Draven ban in a tourney.

People are finally realising the power of Draaaaaaaaaaaaven.

 

[bjaelke]

Boosts work separately and is calculated from the original gained IP.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

This is such a weird game.

 

[bjaelke]

Two towers and dragon before the 5 minute mark. Then it all calmed down a bit.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Two towers and dragon before the 5 minute mark. Then it all calmed down a bit.

by taking that tower aAa basically negated the early game power of Dragonborns. So smart.

Gotta say, Shushei had a howler of a game there. Pretty much fed their Eve and contributed nothing to the team. Yeah, he was shut down pretty hard by that Nidalee, but trying to 1 v 1 everyone and failing because of the Shen ult every time was just so bad. You'd think he's learn from the first 2 times.

 

[Nether]

Why does there have to be an ip boost on the same day(s) as the EU LCS qualifiers? I can't split myself in half!

 

[Agkel]

Boosts work separately and is calculated from the original gained IP.

It would make it x3, no? So, it would be:
regular ammount +
regular ammount via weekend boost +
regular ammount via double ip boost
correct?

Either way, thinking about it, I'm not really sure if its worth it.
-on average a match would yield 275 ip (and thats winning)
-a champ is 6300 ip
-champs on sale are 487rp
-3day boost is 520rp

Which means I would have to play 22 matches in 2 days to break even in the ip to rp ratio. So it definitely is not worth it, to me at least. I can just buy whatevs with rp and have all that extra time to take the gf out.

[PhillipCostigan]

Ooof. Dragonborns just got decimated.

Shlaya was godlike on Lux.

 

[Ferga]

Froggen lux still best lux

 

[Boken]

18 hp away from FB in such an important game.
Heart explodes.

Oh I have a Wukong story.

Dude was diving under towers like a jackass.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Played my first game with other people. Now I don't feel so bad about ping. 5 other guys had 100-999.

Went duo bot and jungled a bit with Cho'gath. Also saw Thresh.

Spoiler

I got 14/0/3

Feels good. That's how you play Cho'gath, right? I don't know. I was the only one in the jungle.

 

[scy]

Oh I have a Wukong story.

For what it's worth, E-Auto-Q-disengage is Wukong's harassment and it works really well under tower. Can ult at the end if it'll secure the kill.

Though I imagine this was more of a "I can W and tower won't see me right?!" situation.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Wukong so good. Sucks at ganking or I would jungle him more.

 

[IsayFever]

Oh hey, Fnatic stomping MYM

 

[PhillipCostigan]

The more I play Thresh, the more amazing he is.

Just played him in a ranked and fucking owned (support). Getting that clutch grab into The Box on one of their carries is amazing, can instantly win a team fight for your team. also he's tanky as fuck.

 

[Agkel]

I tried googling but couldn't find anything. Is there a roadmap of which champions will get remodeled and a history of which ones have been worked on alrady?

 

[inky]

Hey guys. I've been out of the loop with the tournament teams, so I have a quick question. I know that CLG EU disbanded, but did they regroup as a new team?

Yeah, Evil Geniuses picked them up. They didn't really disband, just went looking for a different sponsor.

 

[inky]

Cool. Thanks.

 

[Snowman]

How many games have you won/played and what's your elo anybody?

Curious to see how many games people with high elos have played.

1100 something wins, 800 something losses play in the 1450-1500 elo range

 

[Shadybiz]

Just went 1/6/2 as Cho'Gath (vs. AI). Not a great score, but starting to get a hang of the game a bit more; getting better at knowing when to engage/chase and when not to.
