Started playing LoL after a friend kept bugging me, i'm mostly a dota player. I played a few years ago as Alistar before I randomly quit after getting mad at a dominion game. Bought thresh because i apparently had a lot of points and wow, games are easy with him. The windup on the hook really bothers me though since i can't cancel it like in dota. Fun times though.

 

[Wolf Akela]

You can feint the direction of the hook btw.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Man, I just had a game with some of the most obnoxious human beings I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. How do these people even make it to high levels being so toxic? Sometimes I feel like the tribunal system is fundamentally broken, unless people just hit one game and suddenly snap.

yeah you cant animation cancel spells in lol

perhaps its because there are just more spells in general coming out, that it costs people a lot to try to dodge a false one

the tribunal is pretty good at picking up continuous abuse cases actually

Tell me the secrets.

I've been hooking people all day but i'm starting to play against people who know thresh and run at me or simply stop moving and my hook misses. Game is pretty cool, has the familiar sense of dota while also being new to me so I'm having fun with it. Then again I just find mobas to be really fun

Cancelling your auto attack is a little weird too, what I can't get over is attack moving having a really low range compared to dota, drives me nuts to attack move and the dude just sits there.

So far I've had only a handful of people throwing noob and getting into arguments, then I scold them and he seem to quiet down. I even had one apologize to me at the end of a game once. People throwing commends at me like I was the president.

 

[PROGRAM_IX]

duo with someone and post in thread about how bad he is so he starts winning out of spite

So THAT was your strategy? Well I can tell you it did not work on me.

Not sure what you mean - attack move functions similarly to other rts games. Your champion will move to the attacked ground position and attempt to hit things along the way.

I think what you're feeling is the higher ratio between view distance and attack ranges. Dota2 is pretty zoomed in in comparison, so a lot of attack ranges seem massive. You'll just get used to it though

The attack range is really low is what I mean, well it feels that way. If the creeps are in the middle of the river in dota I can attack move at the hill and the hero will move down and attack. In LoL it feels like if I don't attack move to 5 feet from the creeps then the champion will just move to the position and sit idle.

Man this jinx girl, had a few games where I had the good jinx vs. a bad one now I'm on the opposite end. Girl hits fast.

Not sure if this is right but when I played Dota it felt like the attack ranges were more lenient. Like you'd right click someone when they were in range the attack will hit no matter how far he goes afterwards as long as the animation already started, while in LoL if the guy is not in your range before the wind up ends the auto doesn't happen.

The auto ranges in Dota felt massive because of this.

That's what that is? Here I am thinking why the hell are these people cancelling their attacks and letting the enemy get away!

I am going to be evil and point out that loss of MMR this season at gold v will make it much harder to get placed into gold next season

Confirmed, I'm DEFINITELY gonna be Bronze V next season if that's the case.

Ohhh this makes so much sense. I recognise exactly what you're describing. Never really thought about it before.

you can actually go out of range during the initial animation (attack point) if the initial animation is very long

i think what you're describing is a combination of
- zoomed in perspective
- long backswings
- slow projectile speeds

apparently this value is "too damn high" in dota2

so i guess you can see super long range swings

 

[bjaelke]

wow, that vayne play in OGN.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I concede defeat, Jinx will most likely get nerfed.

I hope Riot goes with it soon so I can play her without pick/bans every match.

I thought they fixed the problem where you would cancel an auto attack and a damageless projectile would still send out.

this game is CRAZY

It's still in as is the map that tells you that X is elsewhere on the map just before appearing all up in your grill at bot lane.

It happens less often but it's still there.

Easier to see on champs with slower attack speeds. Playing early game Cait and Vayne is a fucking pain in the ass right now.

The best kite character in the whole game kiting a braindead Ryze.

wow

great play

such skill

Am I doint it right. Vayne is also the most broken ADC, she's pathetic and any "play" with her is not impressive at all. Would be if he were Urgot or smthn.

calm yourself nev.

relax the cacks.

You might have an accident.

 

[Nekofrog]

Two queue dodges, he's probably on the other team.

Instead I have these guys with me:

And they're already yelling at each other calling each other faggots

Yep, he's Kassadin on the other team. Looks like I'm sticking with B3 for now.

Ever.

Reenter queue immediatly. Cancel and wait a couple minutes.

 

[Edwardo]

Sometimes when you cancl an auto attack, the projectile will still hit the enemy but do no damage. They said they fixed it in a patch, but it still happens.

It's still in as is the map that tells you that X is elsewhere on the map just before appearing all up in your grill at bot lane.

Yep, that's pretty obnoxious.

Ya it still happens to me fairly often. It's just really annoying how it messes with last hitting.

looks like there is hope:

malph, annie, ashe, nami is a huge CC advantage vs their team and since they arent roaming well at all, i believe you'll win this. trust.

a riven has emerged from the other team, but our heroes in bot lane preserver.
also kassadin complains more.

Go! go! go!

the fish is down, Zed triple kills, kassadin is quiet now.

SICKEST BAITS NA

Such a close game. I'm genuinely rooting for him lol

Nope.

Annie refused to group with us. Our teamfight was superior, but Annie would never be there. With 4 of us we would burst them down and 3 of them dead, with the other two nearly finished. Annie refused to listen, actively insulted and waged verbal warfare. Just toxic.

 

[Wolf Akela]

It makes me sad when I still see Lv30s with hundreds of wins not have a proper runepage. I just played Cait against a Vayne with zero extra armor (blind pick) and every passive proc chopped 25% off her health. Sent her home 3 times for a 4 level gap.

 

[Nekofrog]

For those of you watching, can you only see all chat or can you see team chat? I spent the entire time trying to rally the team and making the calls, which everyone eventually decided that they should listen to me because they were making us progress.

Except for Annie. She gave no fucks. Such frustration.

Also, how did I do? I had so many wards but couldn't do anything because nobody would escort me.

In the middle of this fight I was yelling at the team "WHY ARE WE CHASING. WHY ARE WE FIGHTING BETWEEN TURRETS. PLS STOP."

Edit:

Jesus christ, down to 66 points. Guess I'm not getting those ward skins lol.

 

[Newt]

Jinx is getting nerfed for sure, lol. Her winrate right now is ridiculous.

While Solo Q focuses on her I think I'm gonna sneak a few Corki games in.

 

[Pandaman]

observers can only see all chat.

you did okay, you won your lane and had your auras up and running while kayle was trying to be a poverty carry.

biggest problem i saw was that you were wasting CC. ie: bubbling people who had been warwick ulted. you should always try to time it so that your CC hits just as your allies CC fades, that way you get the maximum amount of lockdown time.

that said, you had so much of it that the two majour 5v5s sent the other team running for the hills both times.

imo the loss is mostly attributed to Zed significantly outfarming Warwick and carrying his team and that 3v5 without you or annie that lost your first inhib. annie was your biggest gun, your team shouldnt have been places without her. if she was being toxic that is unfortunate.

That 3v5 was me telling my team to fall back. There was no need for us to fight in midlane like that when Annie (for once) was actually going to come down to where I was for a proper engage. But they went ham anyway I guess.

And then near the baron pit, she came around and got picked off super fast when we actually had them on the ropes. If she had come with us like we had asked instead of taking a roundabout way behind them, we probably would have fared better. She was honestly the single worst LOL player I have ever had the misfortune of encountering in terms of toxicity. The champ select chat alone from her...
