also if you think silver/bronze is bad, try playing with plats. they're like bronze, but even cockier. and for lack of better words, they're a bunch of ****holes. |

So after juggling around a bit with wins and losses, I finally made it into Silver 3. I've been in Silver 4 for the past few months, though that's only really because I just started playing again. I think I'll probably be able to make it to Gold 5 before the season ends, but that really depends on how well I utilize this next week as I don't have any school.
Regarding the issue of people making bad calls in ranked, and people being split on whetherh to follow it, I do know the feeling. The only advice I can really give is to not start raging. It's not gonna help anything once the call's already been made, and it's not necessarily gonna keep people from acting out on their calls. When making calls, just sound confident rather than angry. People will be more inclined to follow your lead. And of course there are gonna be people who are too stubborn, and that can't really be helped, but raging over it isn't gonna help anything. Not that I think you're the person to do that, but just speaking from how I've perceived the issue in a lot of my ranked matches. Generally I tend to keep an attitude of 'everyone makes mistakes and have bad games in ranked', and tell people not to beat themselves up over it if it's going bad, possibly giving some advice on how to avoid __ thing happening again, since people seem more susceptible to listening in those cases. Well, as long as I'm not doing poorly myself haha. But yeah, even if I'm annoyed or angry that someone's feeding, making bad plays or not listening to the team, I try to point it out to them in a non-intimidating manner. I definitely am not always the best one at making calls, and I'm in no way perfect, but this is the way I'd want people to approach me when I did poorly, and I've found it makes the games a whole lot more enjoyable to play if someone isn't caps-raging in the chat about how badly someone's doing. |

OK, some changes to my champion pool.
Swapped Lee Sin with Rengar, Swapped Azir with Anivia, Gnar, Vayne and Lulu remain the same. Just had my first ranked game as Anivia vs an Ahri main (I was last pick and I picked Anivia beacause we had no waveclear) and I jsut destroyed her on lane. I have NO idea how, but I was able to dodge every charm she ever fired at me... So maybe she has the same trouble I do (find it very hard to hit floating targets). One point in this game, it was questionable whether it was a gold level game or a bronze level game, because in 2 teamfights, at least 3 of them were just standing on my ult for the entire fight. |
Just saw they made Curse voice able to be used. What your opinion on that?
Trying to learn Udyr atm to pick up a new champ for Jungle. ATM I only have Vi that I know. |
I bought Shaco a few days ago, he is soooo much fun.
|
Well I was supposed to study for my english essay tomorrow but instead ended up watching worlds with Slate, Bidoof, littlebrother and Windy on the battle server. :p
Below is how the game went but I spoilered it in case people want to see it themselves first. :) Spoiler:
On a slightly related note: SHACO IS A NIGHTMARE ASDFGHJKL; I hate him sorry. :( Everything about him from his design to 'imma get yo in yer jung lad'. OK IM DONE NOW. back to studying for english ;__; |

I just watched some of the finals of the world's games. Sooooo good. It got really intense *-*. Spoiler:
|
They were very good c: I was surprised of how...one sided they were XD. Oh well can't wait for the next season to get here! Hopefully the champ pool is more diverse at adc becuase I'mm tired of seeing Trist and Corki every game haha
|
I feel like worlds and the esport side of LoL in general kinda influences the FotM or meta you see when playing PvP, ranked or even stuff like Dominion. Zilean mid got used in the LCS. Poof, a sudden influx of Zilean mids everywhere. Also I remember after Kog'Maw made a surprise appearance in a lot of the games, its popularity skyrocketed for a while as well. Same with Cait. That or I've never really paid much notice to what my opponents are picking every game. :( which is really likely knowing me buuuut y'know my point still stands ;__;
YEAH THAT'S RIGHT TOM. SHACO IS A JERK like you :( I'm pretty sure my most hated champs are things I just don't generally do well against or find really annoying. It doesn't even matter if I play the champ myself. I hate stuff like Volibear, Shaco, Blitzcrank, Garen (spin 2 win), Evelynn and generally champs I have to be more wary against or predict what they're going to do. I'd much rather vs something more predictable and easy to shut down like Yasuo. Also tanks. :( Especially those that charge at you and FLIP YOU INTO THEIR FUC- (*cough* singed and voli *cough*) tl;dr: i hate volibear |
I'm sick, so I had to stay home from work, but I got to play a few games of LoL after I puked and felt better, so... yay?
Anyway, since I'm trying to expand my champion pool, Maokai, Thresh, and Kennen all make their way into my champion pool. Kennen is my most recent addition, and he is a lot of fun to play as. I've dominated just about every lane with him, but I found out that he doesn't fare so well against Karthus. Oh well, at least I have Galio for that. As far as my least favorite champion goes, when I'm banning in draft mode, Heim is always my first ban. I hate him so much, he should just be removed from the game entirely. Every time I try to get him and whittle him down, he just kites me as his turrets shred through my life bar. Before I know it, I'm dead and Heim has a sliver of life left, and it's basically the dumbest thing ever. |

I recently went back to League to check out how they reworked Soraka and I gotta say... I don't think Soraka is going to be my main support anymore.. or that I'll even play her anymore. I just hate her rework, she can't even heal herself, heal others without killing herself or even restore mana. I absolutely hate the new Soraka...

I'm just playing ARAM till Hexakill comes out, i don't feel like playing normals lately

I've only played her once or twice and I'm still indifferent about her. I feel like overall she is healthier because she is more interractive and I personally love her, but her not being able to heal herself and her hp cost to heal are both really annoying. She is fun imo, but I see no reason to pick her over other healing supports like Nami and Janna who are both much better than her. At least the other reworks(Cass and Viktor) both made their champions immensely stronger. Cassiopeia is literally OP in the right hands right now. Also trying to expand my champion pool so I've been trying some new champs out. Right now the champs I play are just ones I've had for a while and love. Currently I play: Adc: Miss Fortune(95% of the time), sometimes Ashe, sometimes Caitlyn Mid: Syndra, Orianna, Heim, Karthus, Morgana, Ziggs, Ahri, Annie, Cassiopeia, Zyra(on occassion), and now Viktor Top: Swain, Heim, Lissandra, Quinn Support: Nami Jungle: I rarely jungle ever and only play Amumu when I do. |

Well I think her win rate is so low because she is much harder than before. Her q isn't as spammable and stacking is hard. Her early game is very weak so she isn't the lane bully she once was. That said, her late game makes her OP. You're doing insane damage while also getting natural spell vamp from your e. Her new passive allows her AP to be over 1,000 late game which is insane.
Basically she is a late game carry. If you don't make it to late game or get behind early imo she is kinda weak. |
Quote:
And you can see how mad I am against these changes against her because, I don't know if we played a lot. But Soraka was my go to support champion. Everyone loved me as 'Raka. But nope, Rito did it again. Teemo too OP? Better rework Soraka. |
Because of a game breaking exploit, i suggest banning Ashe in every draft game you play. Just saying.
|
Quote:
|
basically because the bug involves ashes autoattacks becoming her ultimate instead.

Quote:
But Riot said that they have fixed the problem and will be handing out perma bans for anyone who used the exploit. |
Let me preface by first saying, I'm a big DOTA player. And I would ask you not castrate me verbally (even though I won't really care).
Anyways, I've been considering getting into LoL for a bit. I'm not a fan of any particular MOBA hardcore, I just enjoy the format and have no problems exploring other options. I am eagerly anticipating the Blizzard version as well as the console version, Battle Born. In any case, like I said. Been wanting to get into LoL. Any tips for me as to how much of a difference it is from DOTA? I know a few of them from friends an word of mouth, but I'm just looking for a broader view. Also, who would you suggest using as a new player to the game to get acquainted? |
Quote:
-Champions aren't all broken so they can fight evenly against each other -Mana costs are non existent except on older champs -You don't lose gold when you die -Jungle is different -More newbie friendly than Dota -and a few more There are a lot of champs at 450 IP that you can try out since they are mostly easier to play than the champions priced higher. When you do the second tutorial you also get 450 free IP to buy one you think you will like. Also there is the free champion rotation that makes 10 champions free for a week. |
