Bruiser Aatrox so good.

Hydra/Zephyr/BT. GA/Randy's/Visage. Tons of damage AOE burst drain tank.

I feel like league has ruined my ability to play other games.

Not because I'm addicted to league or anything, but because I've put so much goddamn time into learning how to play this game and becoming decent at it that I can't even FATHOM starting from scratch with another game. No matter what genre it's in.

I probably won't be able to play a new game until the next borderlands comes out and that's nice because they just give me a lot of guns and things to shoot.

I have this problem with other MOBAs, not other games. For example, Dawngate looks to be a really good MOBA, I enjoy the beta and still play once in a while. It's very well made and plays a lot like LoL with some key changes. Strife is another MOBA I want to try that I've heard good things about.

The problem is, I'll never be able to 'main' any of those other MOBAs simply because, like you, I have so much invested in LoL. Not even the money... I've spent maybe $130 lifetime, but the sheer amount of hours and stuff I have unlocked. Also the knowledge base... knowing the ins and outs of over 100 champs, all the items, all the customizations. Just so much investment.

This is why I think these new MOBAs are never going to come close to the heights of LoL, or even DotA 2, no matter how good they are. Similar story with World of Warcraft, actually.

It's actually what attracted me to strife because it seems extremely simplified. But even then, I look at the item list and my eyes glaze over. It's like my brain refuses to learn new things.

Any game with any sort of depth just turns me off immediately. I don't know what it is.

 

[Ferga]

In the past 4-5 years, I've left league three times.

Guild wars 2, CSGO and battlefield 3

Always came crawling back to try and climb the ladder

 

[Ferrio]

I left twice too, but not for anything in particular except my own sanity.

 

[Tizoc]

Any alternative builds on Twitch you guys have seen lately? Getting kinda bored of going BoRK, Youmuu, IE, LW, Armor >_>;

Bruiser Aatrox so good.

Hydra/Zephyr/BT. GA/Randy's/Visage. Tons of damage AOE burst drain tank.

I know Zephy is cheaper by like 1000 Gold or so, but why not build BoRK instead?

Ascension is a really fucking awful game mode.

Lately it's my brother's go to mode when playing LoL.
I don't like the small vision field though. I was Fiora chasing a Pantheon, I pressed R to ulti and he disappeared from view and the ulti didn't come out...

 

[Ghost is Bad]

If u can't quit just pretend league is halo 4 and ull be gone in less than a week.

 

[KiwiLannister]

If your top lane pool is pathetic, then I'd suggest against gnar. Fill it in with something more reliable.

Ended up getting Malphite Eve and Yasuo. Eve because I want to learn her, I'm confident she will be the ultimate skin. Malphite should be another top laner along with my Renekton/Jax/Ryze, and if I can just put some time into learning Nidalee/Gragas/Darius then I should be sorted. Kinda lacking for ranged tops, which is why I was considering Gnar or maybe Jayce, but Gnar seems like quite a difficult champ to learn.

 

[Bungie's]

Halo 4 > Destiny

Just saying

 

[Newt]

Ehh, I came to league from Halo.

They don't feel that different to me. In league, I sit in the back and auto attack as ADC. In Halo, I sit in the back as a sniper.

I always quit once I hit my ranked goal for the season.

That, and it seems like Sona is definitely weaker now.

 

[Nekofrog]

ghost someone in another thread asked me if this is you

it might be from a while ago

 

[Pancakes]

That, and it seems like Sona is definitely weaker now.

Yea, she's in a bad spot with the meta now but ah well. There's always Nami.

 

[bokn]

I've played so many games with the shitty bugged Q range on Sona that the fix is practically a buff.

 

[Ferga]

Try to dodge with 4 seconds left because I have a support warwick with smite

Log back in and it didn't dodge and ww afks the whole game.


Sigh... this god damn client...

Someone stop me from buying Championship Thresh ;( or at least help me not feel bad for buying it! ._.

But you should feel bad for buying it cause it's a mediocre skin. Don't be fooled by the rare-ness!

 

[Ferrio]

Don't think I've gotton so many kills in any of my games compared to the past couple days practicing akali.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

That feeling when you're 2 points away from a perfect match in Ascension...

...and your Yi decides to to ty solo the dude in the middle and gets it stolen.

2 POINTS FROM PERFECT. 198/200.

Because why cap a normal point when you can throw the game for everyone trying to get a perfect icon.

SteamyPink70: listen up everyone. play your lanes safe . I do not gank. i farm all game.
SteamyPink70: i am not being sarcastic. i _ do _ not _ gank
SteamyPink70: whoever is mid. i need to have a conversation with you. listen up
SteamyPink70: I letting you know now, their jungler is going to camp mid. Now, for some reason, all mids seem to act suprised when the enemy jungler camps mid even though it happens every game.
SteamyPink70: kids type "omg he is camping mid so hard" as if its something new. well listen up. i will save you the trouble of finding out mid-game about the enemy jungler camping mid.
SteamyPink70: im letting you know right now. that the enemy jungler is going to be camping mid.

All macroed and spamming on a cycle. Can't wait to mute.

wtf, that is terrifying and hilarious at the same time.

 

[Ferga]

The guy had over 1100 ranked games on yi this season and he seems to know nothing about the champion.

Holy shit.

He just alpha strikes into everything and gives double buff to enemies. A jarvan who spent the entire game ganking out-leveled a yi who farmed for 18minutes.

5.9/4.9/6 average kda

Jesus christ.

and so true T_T

 

[Ferga]

And that sealed the deal.

Kha zix losing jungle to xin zhao and riven top losing tower at level 3 and on 9cs when fiora is level 9 and on 70cs

In a span of 4 games, I was dealt with 2 afkers and 3 intentional feeders.

Done with ranked this season. Hopefully the season ends soon. Don't think I can handle another diamond 5 game

 

[PhillipCostigan]

that Fiora has a Phantom Dancer

 

[dimb]

that Fiora has a Phantom Dancer

Phantom Dancer has excellent synergy with Blade Waltz.

 

[Sofo]

Isn't Riven vs Fiora favorable to Riven? idk much about both champs but my instinct tells me so? (own neither)

 

[PhillipCostigan]

someone reading this thread is going to think you're serious about that

 

[dimb]

It's a pretty bad matchup for Riven.

 

[Tizoc]

I tend to build PD for the attack speed boost...but now I've resigned to going Hydra>LW>Bloodthirster>Armor>Whatever

Heck most of my Fiora matches end with me having Hydra and LW lol.

 

[Sofo]

It's a pretty bad matchup for Riven.

Why? I still struggle in comparing champions strengths on matchups. ty!

 

[dimb]

Why? I still struggle in comparing champions strengths on matchups. ty!

Fiora will just win 1v1 vs. Riven. Riven has no opportunity to kite against Fiora, and Fiora's damage output is just higher. Because Fiora gets immunity during the ultimate she'll just win every fight past level six.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Fiora just also has a better levels 1-3, which is usually Riven's strong point.

Not sure how many if any champions have a better 1-3 than Fiora.

I usually play one or two games of csgo per day. Also they are fixing battlefield 4 next week, you should try it out.

I sometimes want to buy an Xbox One just for Halo. Are you planning to go back?

 

[garath]

I've been playing a lot of CSGO lately too. Casual mode though can't commit to the matchmaking yet.

Used to be a pretty hardcore CS:S player, competitive team, etc.

Feel free to add me.
