So I've been lurking around forever and thought this would be a good time to start posting, new thread and all.

Is anyone here used to playing utility junglers? I have a fairly good winrate with rammus, maokai and their sort, but i consistently end with less gold than our support.

Right here. Lover of utility junglers and possibly the only guy to enjoy the season 2 oracle spamming tank.

It's fine to end with around the same gold income as your support as long as you're doing your peeling job in fights.

If you have more, then great job on ganking and racking up those assists.

Ooh, quick reply! Good to know. Op.gg tells me i have an average of 15 cs on rammus, but that sounds a tad low...

Also, thoughts on going sightstone? I usually buy 1 or 2 wards every back if i have the money, so I tried buyimg it a couple of times. Not entirely sure what to think yet.

Yeah, op.gg must be glitched. That doesn't sound right at all.

I haven't looked into it but I think LoLking used to do that and I think they only count lane minions in their data collection. Was just a guess though. All my junglers had really low cs counts on lolking.

I never buy sightstone on junglers unless I'm lee. I just buy stealth and the occasional pink ward when I go back. There is just so many other useful things a jungler can buy.
No, solo queue.
You wanna duo? Im always free at 6pm PTS.

I've decided that I'm going to jungle Galio next season, all day erryday. It's going to be a beautiful trainwreck.

Galio is good man. I remember this Galio carried me an Pancakes like crazy a while back.

Oh yeah, I'm the biggest Galio evangelist. But in the jungle? I'm definitely overthinking it with "...well, new jungle is rough and he gets a free health pot+ at every camp, and machete is decoupled from AS, plus the new upgrades look pretty solid and there are smite options to help him..." when the fact of the matter is that it's Galio... in the jungle. Should be an interesting experiment, and if it even halfway works I'll be more than happy to stick with it, same as running him support. After all, I'm not exactly in Master or anything, can't go that much worse than usual.

Yesterday I played AP Sona bot and it was just a strange game.

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1591120716/32574845

I made a ton of gold and racked up 550 AP, more than their AP carry. The problem was I still felt like I wasn't doing any damage because she only has two skills that deal AP damage, along with the passive auto attack once every three spell casts, so you're damage is always on cooldown. This game was also the biggest throw of all-time. The game ended with us at 10k more gold but we lost to a random ace at the 40th minute.

You really only put 10 wards, the entire game? That's the minimum I'll place when I'm non-support, wtf.

If you really want to learn Sona and supporting, learn to ward objectives before they spawn/people want to get to them (Dragon/Baron specifically). Also you don't need to stay always bot, unless you really need to babysit the ADC, you can teamup with your jungler to help you set up deepwards in enemy jungler as well as maybe invade/counterjungle. Just make sure you communicate that with your team mates. Can also do that on your own if enemy bot has backed and you see enemy jungler poke in another side of the map. Warding blue @6:30 or so (before it spawns for the second time, which should be around 7:00) might allow to cripple enemy midlaner.

Overall you need to do better at warding, because even if you can guess where enemy team might be, your team might not, and the blame will fall on you (everyone loves hating on the support). I'm not sure about Sona, but if I play an AP/pokey support, I get Spellthief's Dagger (and don't sell it), and rush it to max after Sighstone > Boots. It's a decent AP item with CDR and gold production, so that always helps as a support.

sometimes i put a ward on my laner when they are trying to cs
show em i got their back.......

sometimes in higher elos
you can throw a trinket down to signal to the ad that you want to fight
that you want to go faux ward......

u kno how you used to be able to place a ward on thresh lantern to prevent someone from clicking on the lantern
kinda have to get used to placing it right, maybe place a couple just in case...
a fog of ward....

have you heard about the ebola virus
medical ward

probably means 15 lane minions not counting jungle monsters

Are there any junglers who making a Maxed out Jungle item is not necessary?
Like Take Fiddlesticks, you just give him Hunter's Machete and then after racking up gold you start building his usual build minus the jungle item.

Did Odee have a hissy fit about Scarra/zion getting poached and kicked the entire LoL team?

That sounds crazy

I'm starting to get a handle on Syndra. She's fun. It's hard learning well right now because of the messed up matchmaking in Normals, but a few more games with her and I'll just take her into ranked.

My last two games have been nothing but teammates fighting at each other. It's annoying. In the first game it made one teammate disconnect when we had a great shot at winning. The second one we just surrendered at 20 because it was such a disaster with all the toxic crap.

I think nightblu3 lost 2 of his provisional games. Kind of screwed his entire goal of reaching diamond by that happening.

you havent seen the fan art i've seen then.

I'm only interested if it involves Graves or Braum. ;x

"THE HEART IS THE STRONGEST MUSCLE" oh yeah?
I need to get out more

I'm starting to get a handle on Syndra. She's fun. It's hard learning well right now because of the messed up matchmaking in Normals, but a few more games with her and I'll just take her into ranked.

My problem with Syndra is that I get hypey. Like I will Q > W then I miss my W entirely by aiming at just the original position of the ball. Or at times I will want to set up a nice ult and I fuck it up, ult and don't kill. ._.

I need to practice with her a lot more!

Also kinda sucks to hear about your teammates! Half the time (and more) people doing that ends up being really detrimental to the whole team. Like you got one lane struggling, just tell him to stay under turret instead of just bashing him into leaving. It upsets me as well of course but forcing 4v5 ain't gonna help shit.

dont think od and scarra had a good relationship.

From what I've read, scarra hated him.

And holy shit at all the bots in the low levels. Its outrageous

Right now, I'm watching 2 bots at mid following each other trying to become one or something.

It's so fuckin stupid.
 
I need to figure out a way to get those 5 level 10 referrals to get Medieval Twitch.

Don't want to do it illegitimately by referring my own smufs in case it gets me banned or something though.

I got my husband to make an account but it has become my "smurf" that I never play. I liked playing it because it had Katarina and Riven on perma-free rotation (for beginners) and I don't have them on my main account, but past that it's kinda boring. ._.

He never plays because he doesn't "get" the game and kinda hates it (though still watched Worlds when I was watching on the TV).

I think I would not stream for a week or so after staying up so long.

Yeah I have a level 5 smurf that I can get to 10 pretty quickly. The other 4 I'll need to try get legitimately though :/
 
Isn't Odee known for being a dick? Is there any manager that isn't known to be a dick in fact

But man all this delicious competitive drama, it's been 24 hours since worlds damn it

Hope we get some PBE goodness today

Right? Who the hell does Moobeat think he is not updating anything in 2 fucking days? I'm gonna kill myself if the next time I F5 there's nothing new. I want my updated Karma splashes already, I want to use traditional but her splash was always one of the worst pieces of "art" in the game. I could've drawn it better, that's how bad it is.

Warrior Princess is awesome tbh because she's a relic from the era where not all the female champions had the same generic pornstar-animu boring stupid perfect face.

Down to 0 LP, maybe I should go Jungle Rammus next...

Still better than the overly generic perfect dark haired blue eyed chick.

Isn't she descendant of Azir? He's black, and she lives under permanent sunlight, she could've been tanned at least and not Caitlyin in her Desert Adventure Set.

Hit diamond in august then decayed due to work.
Hit it back over last week but god damn that was brutal, the introduction of master tier fucked everything up.
 
Playing so much with Cait is kinda bad if you switch to Jinx, jesus she can get caught pretty easy in TFs and everyone in your team already wasted their CCs.
