League of Legends |OT6| My AP Mid Can't Be This Cute

I'm waiting for the next jungler to make some hilariously stupid ult like a global targeted knockup that makes you immune to CC while giving you 1000 bonus health, armor and mr.
 
The buff to Maokai's R is amazing. Not fond of gutting the range on W, but I guess they wanted to give it counterplay so they put a slow to his E.

Zac W change sounds cool. It's a net buff that lets him more Ws during combo openings.

I think Maokai could easily become a REALLY strong force in the competitive scene once these changes go through. That R buff is amazing. He might work in solo queue kinda like Amumu.
 
So Sona pentakill will be in discount mmmm...

Amumu doesn't work in solo queue.

Amumu is more like a vulture eating the agonizing enemies alive

I'm afraid I may be starting to convert away from the Ryan Choi style with this patch. I tried a couple of Rengar games with only 1 doran's blade, then rushing vamp scepter (or possibly pickaxe if I have enough gold and am doing ok) and hydra, and I felt like it may be a better tradeoff now. Of course, that presumably means Rengar is overall weaker after the doran change but still maybe worth it.

Just had a 24/7/12 Jinx game, really close through the game. Almost got a penta at one point. In the end, we had Baron control, and did Baron. While we were doing that, they stormed down our mid lane, got our open inhibitor and our naked Nexus. Should've known better :c
 
Almost had a penta last night on ARAM Graves. Still can't believe we won that game, since they had a better ARAM team (Karma, Fidd, Xin, Mao, some other dude). I got fed though, so Akali managed to survive long enough to get some gold and be a threat.

I was just in the zone with good smoke screen and kiting. They kept blowing summoners just to get to me.

his winrate says otherwise. ap/tank mumu is a beast

I wonder if it is the problem that people don't itemize against a champ like that; build magic resist in the form of Banshee Veil or Spirit Visage in time. His kit in tandem with magic pen is a powerful combo i just feel he comes out the jungle and misses q then there goes his engage and only cc pre-6. His kit forces a heavy mana commitment to ganks in order to effective opens him up to counter jungling or getting picked off. His early game is rough.
 
Newt,

Did I get em, coach?


What are the good 3v3 champs?

J4, Darius, Lissandra, Jax, Syndra, Irela, Nasus, Vi, Shyv, Garen, Fiddle, Yi, Kha, Ziggs, LeBlanc, Jayce, Vel, Morg, Quinn, Vayne, Blitz, Leona, Zed, Panth, Skarner, Xin, Talon, Riven, Hec, Fiora, Diana, Brand, Annie, Hemier, Udyr, Zilean, Yasuo, WW, Wu, Teemo, Eve, GP.

Just avoid most ADCs, mages, hard supports and others who take a long time to come online and be relevant. 3v3 is about tank and burst, really.

Feels like this bares repeating again:

Maokai's ult radius has been reduced. This is an undocumented change that no one seems to have captured so far. I don't see anything there that would make Maokai competitively viable.

Hasn't been true since the spiritstone passive hp/mana regen change. Hell, wasn't true before that, really. His clear speed is phenomenal and his sustain is up there with the top jungle picks - he's almost always full health and mana after getting spirit stone. He has the tools necessary to evade dueling specialists like Udyr and he can last long enough vs. high mobility strong duelists like Elise and Lee Sin to get to safety/setup a collapse.

His win rate isn't a function of the opposing team being idiots and not buying MR or whatever - it's a function of having an excellent kit.
 
I know bruisers are, was mostly wondering AP champs. Have a Garen/Riven, so I tried to balance it out with Zyra.

Ziggs, Liss, LB, Morg, Leona, Diana, Brand, Annie, Zilean, Teemo, Eve.

Depending on whether you're laning or jungling and if you want assassin, burst or tank, of course. Mages like Cass are solid too. Lux isn't bad either, just not as good as other options.

tonight has been a shitty game night, baited myself all night long to get camped by lee sins in both bot and mid

i need to learn to play passive but i hate playing passive when i'm winning
 
Yeah.


Wrong skin though :p.
Apologies, Sensei.

Buying Prime Time Draven skin now.

This keeps happening to me too. Basically, I shit on lanes with someone (usually Jayce) and disrespect the fact that they have a jungler. Getting caught out over-extended. I think the trinket tends to lure me into a false sense of security. Not buying wards because I have the trinket. I have to remind myself to get regular wards.

Also, fuck invis junglers. So obnoxious.

It happens. It's 3 minutes, I'm playing blue team top lane and the enemy jungle is a Lee/Eve. I know they're going to gank me, but I can't help but overextend/fight/play aggro. It's a matter of discipline really.

tbh ever since i stopped buying so many wards i feel like i get to win lane more often so yea don't go overboard with them either

i'm pretty decent at dealing with eve after so many games but fuck i hate lee sin

i got first blood on nidalee as freaking kassadin at level 4 and just had her zoned at 6 but every time i tried to get the kill i got ganked

i need to learn to respect that

i'm so sad they never went through with the lee sin nerfs

Zyra is actually good on 3v3, also the fact that I had a SirTanksAlot Garen and a Riven for frontline. I just stood back there and planted shit.

Teemo hats spotted: 3

Plus one full sized Lulu. I think Wembley might be turning a little eSports today.

No I don't have pics I'm working on it.
 
So Primetime Draven is a Legendary skin, but it's permanently discounted to 975 (like Surprise Part Fiddlesticks) as a thank you for helping eSports grow. Awesome.

It's out now too.

Everything is moe to me
why would anyone play draven anyway, def not husbando material
I don't know, he's outgoing, has a steady job, keeps in touch with his family, has a neat party trick and is good with children.

definitely husbando material once he gets over the me-me-me stage.

Lucky you! How is it watching League live?

Full marks for the loud cheer for the 'No homo' sign as Deficio tries to sum up, corpsing happens. It is a bit weird watching it in 60 fps and I do not have best seat in the world.

Atmosphere is absolutely amazing though. I think a few people are waiting for full fat LCS to really kick off, which is a shame as that first challenger game was ace.

Noise is something else. No idea how it comes across on Twitch, but when the crowd screams you cannot hear anything else. Best chant so far is Deman, I fully expect the Alliance/SK game to murder that.
