Finally back to my usual self after being very rusty. Climbed into gold 4.

I miss playing Lee Sin/Elise/Pantheon, seems like if I don't play a feral flare champ or a Vi/Wukong then I'm almost responsible for my team losing.

Last game the enemy Warwick build Ancient Golem into botrk. Needless to say it didn't work well. I seriously have no idea what his plan was, if you're going to be auto attacking surely you want to build a feral flare.

The flare nerfs are noticeable but not enough. Games just seem to go so long that they become stronger than the regular jungle items almost every game.

 

[zkylon]

hmm

this is too hard

 

[Boken]

hmm

this is too hard

its more like the splash art now
r u pleased

 

[zkylon]

i'll never be pleased but i'm tempted

i like it better tho

i'll probably bite

i still wish it was a more fun skin

 

[BriseFlots]

hmm

this is too hard

New one is waaaay better. Really liking it.

 

[Terbinator]

It took me a while to realise it was a Syndra skin on not Liss.

 

[Fuzzery]

This series

So good

 

[Stone Ocean]

Fish Syndra actually looks like her splash now, I'm pleased

 

[Ferga]

Kakao with the worst smite in the world

Pantheon skin is so awesome. Only downside is it's going to be back to fighting for Pantheon in champ select.

So Lucian is fun. I've realized I should play only ADC after messing around with other roles for most of season 3 after hitting gold for a split second. Climbing up the silvers now. The Leona game was the second game of my series to Silver III where I was last pick. Only ranked lost in a while.

Before I got Lucian, I was on a similar tear with Sivir for a while, but after a patch or three ago felt like she was dominating less so I picked up Lucian and lo and behold the stomps continued.

I agree with you. Lucian is such a strong champ at all phases of the game. I rarely lose when I'm playing him. He has so much potential for carrying.

 

[Terbinator]

I really can't click with Lucian at all, which is annoying, as it seems he's beast mode when anyone else plays him.

 

[Stone Ocean]

My experience with Lucian has been similar to my experience with Vayne.

Most of the time I just suck and get fucked.

Everything he does is very smooth. He transitions between abilities very well and with a little practice, you can get double taps in between every ability and do some massive burst damage.

His main drawback in lane is his mana. I run 4 or 5 mana regen glyphs to help with that and I usually buy a mana pot or two in laning phase.

Teamfights he's just a beast.

I can see that. He has that same "oops I just dashed INTO two full health enemies" mistake potential. At least with tumble it's up again shortly, the dash has a long cooldown.

 

[Terbinator]

Maybe this is the problem I have with him compared to Draven and Varus. His last hitting feels off compared to those two IMO and his abilities do feel smoother but I suppose I prefer, or at least can use more effectively, the more precise and responsive abilties of those two.

I don't know. I just feel useless at all phases of the game with him and not, traditionally, going Shiv/PD feels bobbins.

 

[BriseFlots]

I wish ogn took a hint and just perma banned nid

 

[Violet_0]

so Elise is kinda hard to play. I suck with her in teamfights

 

[Terbinator]

so Elise is kinda hard to play. I suck with her in teamfights

Just go after the ADC.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Need 3 people for a custom game on PBE

rito plssssssssssssssssssss

I need to testtttttttt

 

[falastini]

I get the same thing. I usually do really well during laning phase, but when the team fights start, I get killed too fast. I usually try to jump the backline, but I'm too squishy and get killed after killing one carry (or none if the peel is good). Maybe I'm not being patient enough, or maybe teams suck at initiating in silver.

Also, adding 5 more stacks and increasing the cost of wriggles is a shitty way to fix feral flare. It just exacerbates the problem of having to power farm the jungle. They should have just nerfed the numbers on feral flare itself. If my laners lose lane hard, and my jungle gets invaded, it already takes too long to unlock.

I'd do it. But I'm NA, haven't downloaded PBE yet, and I'm at work. All sorts of not happening. Guess that makes this post pretty useless.

 

[drawkcaB]

Nope, easy buy for me.

 

[DeadNames]

I could actually see jungle braum being a thing.

Lalala farming last hit- HOLY SHIT WHERE DID HE COME FROM GG IM KNOCKED UP FOR 1.5 SECONDS

 

[Blizzard]

Yup, just like jungle Leona. Once I get all those new tank jungle items Riot has to add, and maybe the iceborne gauntlet + sunfire cape combination soda cop loves, I should be set.

 

[Stone Ocean]

His kit is not suited for jungling at all. He'll take forever to clear, any other jungler in the game will eat him alive and pre-6 his ganks should be crap.

 

[Violet_0]

Braum feeds Poro -> mustache

 

[Wolf Akela]

Braum's clearing abilities are his 8 second passive and 10->6 second Q. He's not clearing any jungles.

Gonna try it on a custom right now.

edit: rito pls, I just played solo on a custom. Quit game to reconfigure runes and masteries. Minimum 3 players now.

 

[Pandaman]

updating my pbe, dont expect Braum to be jungling though. one high cooldown single target damaging spell and no sustain would be rough.

no reason a support cant do a quick lane gank every now and then though. he should be tanky enough to not be burst due to a level difference.

 

[Ferrio]

hmm

this is too hard

The skin is just very unimaginative.

I'll be sticking with the Liss skin next patch instead!

 

[Pandaman]

huh. i can do solo customs in pbe. check again, wolf.

edit: okay, his lvl 1 as a support is pretty beasty.

Nien stepping down from CLG

 

[Tizoc]

Could Irelia benefit from Wit's End by any chance?

 

[Newt]

Nien stepping down from CLG

Nooooo. Nien was my favorite player in the LCS . Get rid of fredy122 instead.

 

[dimb]

Nien stepping down from CLG

All of my posts worked.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Nien's self-deprecation in that video is really depressing.

 

[drawkcaB]

Could Irelia benefit from Wit's End by any chance?

Yep.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Most of the time I just suck and get fucked.

My wife doesn't have to put up with that and neither should you.

 

[Einbroch]

TSM's plan backfired.

 

[tm24]

Nien stepping down from CLG

Nooooo. I love nien. Stupid community. Hope his family issue works out too

 

[garath]

I hope that Coast gets relegated then disbands and Zion gets picked up by CLG. Or frankly any top LCS team. He deserves to be on a better team.

Why can't he carry Coast up?

 

[Orochinagis]

Day 4 of Jungle Vi

I tried the feral flare thing and that thing is wonderful but I am running out of mana pretty fast but nevermind I can survive more in team fights and lure enemy players into the jungle to kill them!. My teammates often yells me to do "ganks" or something so I take the routes I learned from the jungle map and actually did like 6 ganks in one match, horray!

 

[Leezard]

Man those server lags. I got dcd in the middle of a game after I won lane against Renek as Irelia. Luckily all other lanes also won lane so they carried the team until I reconnected.

 

[Tizoc]

Yep.

I ask because I just won a match against 1 AP+4 AD team.
I was thinking of forgoing the tank option and make Wit+BoRK+Trinity on her then tank up with Randuin and Sunfire.
Was a rather easy game, our opposition couldn't take us down by the end, I managed to nab a few kills, made Bilgewater Cutlass then Trinity. Afterwards I started building for Randuin, before they surrendered =V

 

[brian!]

nien doesn't really seem self-deprecating in that video

This then.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

hmm

this is too hard

The blue spheres need particle effects added to them. In the worst way. They look horrible in-game.

Also, I kinda like the new guy. But as others have said, he may be a bit *too* defensive.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

nien doesn't really seem self-deprecating in that video

he's basically saying I suck and I'm not good enough the whole time

that's pretty self-deprecating

 

[brian!]

I think he's just stating the situation and explaining why he's stepping down. I dunno maybe I associate self-deprecating with needless self-hate, but everything he's saying seems rational, like he's dissatisfied with his play and his rate of improvement, he's getting exorbitant hate that he's not equipped to deal with, and any person in a bad situation, who cares about themselves, won't sit and take abuse with no foreseeable change on the horizon.

 

[Pandaman]

they have particles now.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

they have particles now.

?

I just played with her on the PBE. I didn't see anything of note. If that's it, I'd say it needs more. They're very disappointing as-is. Like, they need more color and contrast, maybe more more glow/shine. idk. They're far too muted and unassuming to me compared to the default and Justicar spheres.

Liss's also needs quite a bit of work. The Q especially.
