I was thinking of telling myself to dodge every ranked game yi is in after the game I thought I'd lose. But nope, we won. Their thresh and pantheon threw SO hard. They were at our inhib and we hadn't even taken a tier 2 tower yet. It'll sound hella cheesy, but a good attitude can win games sometimes. Just wait for the enemy team to throw!

Also, new skarner is REALLY strong right now.

 

[Blizzard]

I had a skarner with the sand skin on my team. Eve stole his read so he went top and got me first blood.

He was like "you take my red i take your top" in allchat. Then every time he ganked and someone died he was all "snip snip". I liked him.

I may have to attempt Skarner again. Soda cop please teach me proper skarner build with new patch so I can acquire silver 2.

I haven't played enough games on him to know. There are more variables to runes and masteries available that alter builds on him a lot.

 

[Blizzard]

Soda cop doesn't know, hope is dead. My only remaining option is to learn Eve from Schmattakopf.

I mean, starting jungling again would be a nightmare, but not as much of a nightmare as playing support and silently screaming "Autoattack the enemy with your B.F. Sword, I just CC'd them perfectly for you with a Nami slow and bubble, all you have to do is right click".

i really wish lee sin's particle effects weren't so shitty

i'm completely uncapable of telling a point blank q from an e

pretty annoying when you think lee sin has already q'd you so you wait a bit and flash and then you realize he still had it

Sound effects/the little thing over your head shows the Q.

yea i get there's some difference, just saying it's very hard for me to tell apart in the split second you get in lee sin ganks

specially sometimes he's like placing a ward, dashing to it, double e'ing and then q'ing or something

it's like overloaded with effects and makes it difficult to react

So about 40,000 actual seats?

QQ for those sitting across the field in the upper deck.

You know where I think it would have been better? Dallas Cowboys stadium. That gigantic screen they have there is *ideal* for an esports event.

Probably more like 50k+, assuming they only block off one of the smaller sides.

And they wanted to have worlds outside of NA.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Thank you based Nami.

Back to the beginning, lol. The good news is that I finally have a positive winrate. I was 4-10 in my last game in Silver II, back in March. I was afraid that our Twitch would do nothing in teamfights, he played with so much fear in lanning phase, even when there were two clear oportunities to get a double in bot lane. In the end a good mikael and a tidal wave just after leona ult, burble to Kayle, and done.

I couldn't have done it without Riot giving me loss prevented yesterday... and god bless Ahri.

This is pretty interesting. Doesn't help clear speed too much, I think, but a huge sustain benefit for tanks. The free ward, and the lack of champion-relevant passives, makes it pretty clear that tanky junglers are anticipated to be primarily supportive. Notably, this really doesn't get you much against Lee Sin when he invades you early.

The replacement of the health on hit on the Machete with damage resistance is also a subtle but meaningful step away from forcing junglers to have autoattacks to be effective. In fact, this is actually a straight nerf to a lot of junglers who used AS steroids with the machete to have strong sustain (including of course Lee Sin).

don't worry

although Urgot got a new splash, he's still terrible.

 

[Nekofrog]

but he's husbando material now

 

[Fracas]

Battlecast Urgot should be default

Big dead guy with rendered nipples is gross and no one wants to play him

[DeadNames]

THERE IS NO STOPPING THE JUNGLE CHOGATH TRAIN

 

[Mothman91]

New passive on BT trying to keep AD casters happy. Worried about AD bruisers like Riven who can suck it for all I care.

 

[jerd]

So excited about the new jungle items. I really miss my tanky junglers.

 

[drawkcaB]

Gonna try this out with Sejuani on the PBE. Can't wait to see if that brings back that big fat pig.

And her boar.

 

[zkylon]

i think bloodcap change basically makes it still pretty bad for adc and just kind of cements it as a ad caster item now that i think about it. or maybe like last item

like what do you buy right after your first item as adc?

as boots and pd/ss.

that 10% will sit around looking pretty and doing nothing for a good while.

then again who knows, maybe people will start doing like bt+bruta+lw graves or something, that sounds pretty fun for me

 

[Ferrio]

nop.

Ya pretty much hah. Her early game still going to be rough, but atleast BT isn't a total money waster like it was this patch.

 

[drawkcaB]

Biggest BT change might be the increased time to charge it/keep is topped up.

 

[Nekofrog]

I MEAN

her item prioritization may change. brutalizer, hydra, bt? that's kind of expensive. toss in some cd boots too and that's a rough early and mid game. there's no way you're not going to get one or the other with how riven benefits so well from hydra

 

[Fuzzery]

I still haven't tried ghostblade on any adcs, thoughts? I kinda want to get ghostblade/sotd and just go HAM on draven

 

[Nekofrog]

ask panda

he tried it on varus

we lost

but not because of him

 

[Pancakes]

Sona added to rework schedule.

Sona’s planned Gameplay Update is currently a bit more surgical than most – she’s got several existing strengths and high points that players love. Specifically, we’re currently exploring ways to make the choices attached to Sona’s basic abilities more exciting and looking at more satisfying uses of the power currently held by her auras. Ultimately, we want to condense Sona’s power into actions that create skill expression for Sona players, greater clarity of interaction for allies, and have possible counterplay for opponents. Doing so will allow us to create more meaningful moments for players with a champion that is still Sona, but with bigger pay-offs and a lot more to care about from moment to moment.

 

[Einbroch]

Sion plzzzzzzzzz

 

[Dreams-Visions]

it's pretty nice if you're ahead or behind. in an even game, pass.

u lost cuz u didnt play ziggs I bet

Did another ziggs support game, got 15 kills or something, still lost though. So sad. He's a one man anti-push army

 

[Pandaman]

u lost cuz u didnt play ziggs I bet

actually yes. 15/1 ziggs on the other team.

 

[Fuzzery]

change ur avatar back neko

 

[zkylon]

YES!

first argieland wins, then i visit baby brother at my dad's and get a kickass lunch, then female protagonist wins community thingie on steam, then i get gifted valiant hearts and now this

today is zky day

 

[Blizzard]

16/5/9, Rengar quadrakill, only player to win my lane, almost single-handedly brought the team back into the game.

Lost, demoted to silver 4. We'll see if it takes 5 promotion series agian this time to get back up. :'(

Is Quinn supposed to play like a flanking assassin? I had one on my team and virtually every fight she would enter a side lane bush like a flanking assassin, then attack or ult to fly away after the team fight started and did poorly 4v5.

 

[Newt]

Okay, guys stop being dumb. Don't build ghostblade on MF. PD/Shiv is way better on her.

 

[Fuzzery]

This sounds interesting. I'm going to try this tonight, too.

Can I ignore boots and get a PD?

Woah, didn't realize you were part of lolgaf too lol.

I wouldn't ignore boots on MF: Mobility for her is too key since you have no gap closers or escapes.

Berserker's are one of the most cost effective items in the game anyway, IIRC

Okay, guys stop being dumb. Don't build ghostblade on MF. PD/Shiv is way better on her.

the only two adc i would get it on is twitch/draven I think

 

[zkylon]

wait sona thing is old

i knew words sounded familiar

dam u pankaks

They were taking feedback awhile ago. They never officially announced a rework for her nub.

But I can still max Make It Rain right?

 

[Blizzard]

I think Newt is trying to say that AP Miss Fortune is better, yes.

 

[Edwardo]

So in a couple games tonight my fps randomly dropped way down and everything turned into a slideshow unless i kept the screen still. The first game it happened at the very end so I really didn't think anything of it. The second game it happened about 30 mins in, forcing me to restart my game. That fixed it, but the other team was on our nexus when I got back in. I just made a custom game to mess around with video settings for like 20 mins and it didnt happen, but I dont know if it's because the game wasnt running long enough or something. I'm going to reinstall my graphics drivers, but does anyone have any other suggestions? I've never had problems like this before with my laptop and can usually run everything on high and uncapped.

Tell the noob what drophacking is.



[Funny thing is I've been playing sine Beta QQ. Never ranked, though.]

I dunno how they do it, but basically you get disconnected and then cant reconnect to the game. After a few mins, ur can go back to the client and it's as if the game never happened. Nothing listed in match history or anything.

 

[Mothman91]

I think Newt is trying to say that AP Miss Fortune is better, yes.

I should try out AP mid MF.

hmmmmmmmm

wait...so if i buy a new skin it makes me stronger ?
also, did you guys played against bots?

Nope (skins are just cosmetic) and yeah. Though you'll learn a lot more playing against people, bot matches are a good way to work on your micro (farming, positioning, etc).
