I miss monthly skin sale calendars.

Riot must have stopped because they were making less money on impulse buys.

Trick2g has a ton of videos with voli. A lot aren't current but the main tactics remain the same as they ever were, except now with cinderhulk instead of SotAG. On ganks make sure you don't use your q until the laner makes his first move, just walk into lane and don't panic and try to make a play too quickly or they will be able to escape. Wait for a flash/escape, flash on top of them, e then q, stay in front of them and then w when they get low.

Yeah, pretty similar to Amumu and his Q. Wait for them to commit to a path or for them to give you an indication of how they're going to play it out. Strong Udyr players are pretty good at predicting escape paths, I've noticed. That, along with Righteous Glory, should put you in the best position.

to vayne or not to vayne

Never to Vayne.

 

[Fracas]

Are there any sites that save replays automatically? I got a crazy quadra with Kat and I'd really like to save it (I don't have lolrecorder or anything like that).

 

[Ghost is Bad]

that means play vayne right

Not after the fact, that I know of. Sometimes you can tab out before you finish your game and mark it to record on op.gg. I've had that work for me a couple of times.

that means play vayne right

Yeah.

 

[Fracas]

Well damn, I was seriously proud of it. Oh well

I installed Baron replays but I don't think it's gonna happen again lol

 

[zkylon]

i've been having much more luck with lsi

it's ugly as fuck in comparison to baron replays but it works

 

[Ghost is Bad]

why not just use op.gg

 

[zkylon]

why not just use op.gg

op.gg almost never works for me or takes two or three attempts

also lsi supposedly works across patches (tho it has to download like 10 gigs worth of an old patch's files) and you can name games and filter them out by lane/champion, etc.

 

[garath]

Or maybe Riot can finally finish the replay system one of these days.

crazy talk

 

[Sofo]

It never fails, as soon as I delay my Statikk for a Quicksilver Sash, Warwick stops ulting me ._. Then I didn't have damage and of course, he could use his ult on our Zed, which was basically our only source of damage!

Sometimes I really hate being ADC.

Spoiler

Also I've died so many times on "clutch" W's that would have saved me if somehow I wasn't killed mid air... (Trist)

 

[zkylon]

[Tizoc]

oH MAN that cooldown on Garen's ult is fantastic. That thing had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much cooldown at early levels lol.

 

[Orochinagis]

So Bard Q is now Morgana Q?

Why Vayne have her mouth open

 

[Leezard]

Those are some huge buffs for Bard. With the range buff he'll be a potent autohit harasser in bot lane.

yeah he basically just got a laning phase gifted to him

for that d of course.

The guy I was teaching volibear jungle to is on trick and sirchez's stream atm tearing shit up.

I'm so proud.

I've never tried Righteous Glory on Volibear but maybe I should. Where would it go in a build? After cinderhulk and randuin's?

I was having some great games with Volibear jungle when I tried it recently, like most kills, most damage, most gold, few deaths, etc. But then I started failing with him too. I feel like I have a hard time saving games if everyone gets behind, and/or if I fail a gank and a lane gets ahead.

oH MAN that cooldown on Garen's ult is fantastic. That thing had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much cooldown at early levels lol.

Didn't Garen ult USED to have a low range at level 1, and then it was specifically nerfed so laning opponents would have an easier time? I'm okay with it going back down though.

I might even build it right after cinderhulk to help with ganks.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Finally some loading screen art. Was tired of the beta-like black background

Also with those buffs the only thing stopping Bard from being a top laner is wave clear.

Also Righteous Glory is built like almost always as a second item. That thing is gewddddd and on top of Cinderhulk it just makes you fucking massive

 

[Bacon]

Now just imagine this

on that pretty new loading screen

 

[Ghost is Bad]

i replaced that with chinese lolipoppy.

 

[Leezard]

i replaced that with chinese lolipoppy.

Why would you downgrade the splash art

 

[Ghost is Bad]

chinese lolipoppy has no eyes.

 

[Newt]

5 man ganks bot over and over -_-.

 

[Fracas]

That swain build bah god

I could see maybe going grail against an ap-heavy team but even then roa is 100% core every single game

edit: and 95 cs 26 minutes in oh lawd

 

[Edwardo]

This sucks. I'm stuck in the same place as last season. Bouncing back and forth between Silver 1 and 2. The only difference is that this season it only took me a couple weeks to get there instead of the months and months that it did the last two seasons. I dunno what it is.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

typical low diamond game.

 

[Bacon]

If I made it to low diamond I would just fuck around and have a good time at that point. Unless you're rdiculously good and can get to challenger what's the point, you basically beat the game

 

[Ghost is Bad]

diamond players make u hate everyone.

 

[Newt]

What's the point of playing past Gold in general? I play it for fun. Teams are actually balanced in ranked, and people generally try harder in ranked than in normal games.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to say. If I got to that point I'd probably just play weird shit and not really care if it's not viable.

I probably wouldn't actually but it's easier to say that when I have no chance of ever getting to diamond

 

[Ghost is Bad]

dude u gotta get diamond

makes ur dick 2x larger.

 

[Bacon]

Ladies love diamond league players

 

[Ghost is Bad]

diamond doesn't just refer to their league man.

Hm, I almost never build Glory until very late in the game. I usually go damage second if ahead or randuins/frozen heart. I shall have to try Glory after boots now (amumu).

So the update for April Fools skins didn't include Amumu, just showing him in the pictures. That's just part of the joke right? He's still being released though?

 

[Ghost is Bad]

surprise.

 

[Ferga]

You have a video or something to Voli jungle? Or a guide you recommend?

I've never followed guides. All instincts and just general game knowledge.

here's a simple guide: build Righteous Glory.

I don't ever build that. A lot more better options imo. Boot enchantments are good enough for me in terms of movement.

Voli, along with jarvan and udyr, have been the only champs that I can actually solo carry with. I can make up for 2 lost lanes by myself in mid game fights. You should never be failing and blaming your team. You're not doing enough if that happens.

If I made it to low diamond I would just fuck around and have a good time at that point. Unless you're rdiculously good and can get to challenger what's the point, you basically beat the game

Because 90% of the games you get in diamond 5 aren't fun. If you start playing solo queue, you don't go back to draft. I personally want to climb to diamond 2 or 1 and guarantee a decent game every time I play.

 

[Orochinagis]

Eve is still bad, back to the big boar piggy horse cowboy lady

 

[SenorArdilla]

And enjoy playing a champ that's pick-or-ban?

 

[Ferga]

Ergh

Diamond 2 player duos with his crappy plat 3 adc friend who can't attack move to save his life. First time on ashe too to make it worse.

Tanking for a nonexistent team is just not fun.

Lost 24lp for losing that game. So dumb.

How is it possible to be Plat 3 and never have played Ashe?

 

[Talents]

I'm Plat 1 and have never played Ashe. I don't even have Ashe, Soraka, Yi or Garen.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Everyone who has done the tutorial has played Ashe and bought a Thornmail on her.

 

[Kenny Blankenship]

third time in series for gold, hoping last time

 

[zkylon]

i don't post enough riven but this one was pretty amazing

edit: also for people like me that like meaningless stats here's this fun site
