Kinda scary when bots have better builds than the human players lol.

Btw I think you started recently right? This website is pretty cool until you get familiar (and even so, after too) with the item builds: www.probuilds.net

I know it probably doesn't matter since it's vs bots but will surely help for when you head towards Normals.

Pd. wtf, Wukong called MonkeyKing?

This is like my 2-3 week of playing, thanks for the link, every info helps me a lot, I'm still scared to PvP with real people haha, I don't know if I'm ready.

[Tizoc]

Reading up on Zilean builds online is Seraph's Embrace, worth it on him if I'm playing him Mid? I figure Unholy Grail, Hourglass, Void Staff, Rabadon and Magic resist armor work well enough.

 

[Orochinagis]

screw this, I will go teambuilder for more practice

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Teambuilder is great for learning to be patient during queue times.

 

[Diprosalic]

Thresh is pretty fun, I love him~

i just discovered him too, almost won my team game that we trailed by12k gold. if my team just pushed through and didn't recall, i think we would've won.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Hrmm....I've been deciding between Thresh and Blitz for their pull abilities. I've been leaning towards Blitz because I've been afraid my dumbass will pull myself into danger 1 too many times with Thresh.

Being Blitz is the inverse, if you pull the wrong enemy it can wipe out your team.

 

[KanameYuuki]

My very first real PvP match.

It was so different than playing with bots, they played smart, I had to be careful with a bunch of traps, and finally my enemies didn't evade my chains like gods.

Man lost 2 of my first promo games because of the same thing "Just wait..." Nope too hard to do that, lemme go initiate on them when it's 4v5. We were winning teamfights easily too, but our biggest damage contribution was rezzing.

First game was the same way. Seiging a turret, both bot and top waves pushing hard. Nope, one of my teammembers turret dives because "I was bored".

 

[zkylon]

man seriously i feel like i'm playing against kat every other game, wtf happened :/

i need a good counter against her

Don't you already play Syndra?

 

[zkylon]

i don't like that matchup a whole lot. the dmg reduction thingie usually baits me pretty hard and it's just a hard matchup to play cos ult and shunpo ranges are the same and she just kills you faster than you kill her. you shit on her pretty hard pre-6 but everyone shits on kat pre-6

i usually have success with lizzy against super mobility champions (like fizz or yasuu) but i struggled so hard the other day that i'm not sure

i'm thinking maybe fizz, tho i don't really like playing fizz

 

[Ken]

people keep leaving champ select during normal draft so i never get to practice

guess i'll try ranked

 

[Talents]

Syndra is so good vs Kat. If the enemy ever picks Kat on the other team Syndra is like a reflex pick, you harass her to shit pre 6 then when ever she jumps on you after 6, you just stun her and wreck her face.

 

[Einbroch]

Everyone agrees it is the best place to practice. No pressure and everyone's just playing for fun.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

here are the counters to katarina from best to worst.

1.) disruption

2.) everything else

It's mostly a skill match up. The thing with Syndra x Kat is that you can basically dictate how the lane will go if you play it right. If you don't think you can actually kill her, you get to shove lane safely and roam while she's pinned down to her tower.

You can also always take Exhaust since your bases are more than enough to kill her. Just gotta delay your damage a bit if she jumps at you because of the DR on Shunpo, don't worry about stunning her , just make sure you always have your E up in case she tries to ult you. One fuck up and your lane is over, though.

I like playing malx into her. After a few points into e you can farm easily without eating many of her q's. If she ults both your ult and your q can knock her out of it. I usually beat up on yasuo with him too, windwall blocks none of you skills and he's got to be in there eating your e"s to cs.

 

[Ferrio]

So failed my promotions.

Last game had a really bad lucien, said check his lolking after cause he was hot shit. 700 games in ranked and he's only gold V.

Yea I do malz vs yasuo too if I have to mid.

if ur desperate, play nothing but rammus.

That's what I'm doing already!

Two previous losses should of been wins... people just made really fucking stupid errors late game.

this is why i don't like the matchup so much

granted kat gotta find that mistake but the lane can turn so easily that i'm not too comfortable picking it that way

tbh i could also play ori

i'll think about exhaust. i actually really like exhaust on mid laners

generally not a fan of malz

he's not awful but i don't find him to be much fun and also he's got the misfortune of being a dude so u know

Ha fair enough, I just enjoy him for dive happy ppl like fizz and yas. What about ahri, if you hold your charm I feel she'd be less likely to dive hard. That and after 6 you can ulti out when she ultis then ult back in if you feel you can re-engage.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Jayce vs Ryze matchup, how does this go?

Got kinda manhandled.

 

[zkylon]

yea actually i wouldn't say malzahar is boring but i feel like most of his spells are too one dimensional which is something i don't find too appealing

i generally like lizzy for the same reason you like malzahar, targeted instant cc is beast against mobility champions

i think i just gotta get my lizzy mojo back after getting my ass handed to me by that kat the other day

 

[Orochinagis]

ok, ok ok... I think I got it to be more aggressive still, I dont know how to overcome the enemy adc so the enemy jungle wrecks me and let the the enemy adc overcome me later.

I've never watched any of the championships, but I think I'll give one a go. Is there still one tonight at 12:15 central? And is there a room to hang out with gaffers, and chat?

 

[Fracas]

oh man blue build ezreal is so fun. I wish it was better.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Blue Ez is fun but his build path is whacked. Takes very long to get going and there are big windows where his damage is zero.

Their MF was so bad I went in every time Blitz missed a hook. Our jungle Fizz really carried us.

I thought it was over when they got Baron but we caught them alone mid while their Rammus was trying to BD bot. With their mid inhib down before it was an easy path to the nexus.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

i'm ready to make fun of the chinese teams for their super retarded aggression again.

 

[Sofo]

Yesterday played my first game on Team Builder with Janna. She is fun but most of the time we were 3v5, Mundo jungle disconnected and Riven purposely fed Cho'Gath, that ended up being bigger than Baron. ._. Really sucked because in the Team Builder prematch chat Riven seemed nice but ugh. Reported anyway.

Even then, I need to watch the replay on Janna because I was definitely overusing shield as well as staying in the back. I am just so scared of her squishiness! I tend to play tankier supports so when I play a squishy one, particularly now because it's the first time, I was too scared.



Next match I played Leona and even though my Kog was pretty bad, particularly in laning phase, I wasn't playing the best either. In the end we kinda picked it up and I stopped focusing on the bad things. I still had some terribad ults but was fine. I liked Taric jungle, he was good at shotcalling and basically allowed us to dominate objectives with ease.



Also found this for Zky:

Wouldn't Ori be tough against Kat because your only interrupt is your ult? Don't know much about mid lane.

 

[zkylon]

had seen the ori comic, cry every time ;_;

Wouldn't Ori be tough against Kat because your only interrupt is your ult? Don't know much about mid lane.

well ori's generally safer since she's higher range and has shield

she can also tank kat q's with shield which makes you super good at laning against her

generally if u pick ori against kat you're basically accepting that you're not gonna be the one dealing with kat ult tho, but since ori isn't really interested in dueling it's not so bad

 

[Korten]

I...

I was at 65 LP. 65... I could nearly see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I'm at 0 LP. Lost 4 games in a row (didn't play them in a row). I just... This never happened in any of the other part of Silver for me...

I don't want to give up, but clearly the game is telling me that this is the end of the line...

At this rate, I'll be dropped to Silver II in no time and Gold will just be a figment of my imagination.

 

[zkylon]

it's just a shitty morg skin yo

don't be so bummed

 

[Korten]

I guess it isn't so much the skin but more of the meaning about getting to gold. My two friends in real life are both Gold and I would love to be in the same league as them. Now fair enough I ended Season 3 in Bronze III so Silver I is the furthest I've ever been...

But It's just sucks that I'm so close, literally one below Gold V and in a way I want to achieve Gold so that when we get replaced for Season 5, maybe I'll get back into Gold V and can improve further, hell maybe even make Plat 5 for Season 5.

I just... I know there is still time, but I worry that Silver I will be the end of this. Cause if I get put back into Silver II, I may not be able to get back to Silver I.
