But I didn't actually realise what was going on until the chat went crazy, haha. Felt pretty good.

Wish I'd seen this :( I've had normal PvP pentakills with quite a few people: Quinn, Yorick, Warwick, Sejuani, Trist, Malzahar, and probably a couple more that I've forgotten, but the only ranked one so far has been with Tristana. Never happy to play so... aggressively, in ranked haha.

It's just a sort of 'oh I main this champ so therefore I have a better chance of snowballing / carrying '. Bad part is that I can only really play 1-3 champs with confidence and I also fail to fill the roles of ADC/new jungle. Haven't really familiarised with the latter but the first was one I could never get the hang of in the first place. Since one of my mains is getting banned out almost every draft/ranked though (Akali), I might take it as a sign to 'gtfo of akali and learn something else'.

Mm I agree completely. Some people that place in Silver leave you thinking "... wow, you go 3/15 in all of your matches and still get there?" whereas people like you who get placed in Bronze whom obviously deserve to be higher make the provisional system seem kinda sucky.

As for playing very few champs, I've noticed that a lot for you ;) I tend to play quite a variety of champs I think, in my last 10 ranked games there's been... Garen, Anivia, Malzahar, Quinn, Leona, Volibear, Annie and Kennen, so I think that's a good variety. For each role I have a couple of safe picks like Leona/Janna support, Quinn/Jinx adc, Garen/Kennen top, Sejuani/Volibear jungle, etc, and for mid I mostly play Malzahar/Xerath but I vary that a lot more based on who I feel like playing. Definitely still working on learning more champions to that level but I'm happy with the variety I have at the moment.

In other news, how amazing are the Blood Moon skins? The Thresh one omg *.*

Dang, that's impressive. You seem to be really good at the underrated champs though. Good for having a comfort pick in the unlikely case your main gets banned. ;]

Also pffft, you can visualise it in your head. It broke out around the purple side's chickens. (that sounded really stupid haha) Team was already fighting by the time I dashed over the wall to help a 3 v 5. And boom, there's your free penta. You know how good Akali is at 'kill securing'. Yep, just securing that kill folks. don't report me team I only wanted the assist :(

The silver club couldn't handle me. Obviously I carried every single game, I deserve to be hi-

Honestly hate it when people whine about their teammates and think they were the only good member of their team. Yes there will be games you can't carry because apparently Bill Gates is a godly League of Legends smurfer. But constantly saying 'I'm stuck in ELO hell with these scrubs' or implying similar really annoys me. If you're Bronze V, there's a good chance your play is a big reason why. I got asked to spectate one of my LoL friend play Akali in a PvP game. And man, the plays down there are awful. I'm sure if you're better than you think you are, you'll easily get out. Or you can be like me and get yourself carried by a duo queue you met five minutes ago. :D

You know it! Haha, I wish I could say the same. I get stuck on a few champs and then try to improve from there. But I'll try to learn some more champs to please the ranked spaghetti gods. So maybe... Swain, Volibear, Leona, Jayce and Ahri? I feel like Ahri's pretty similar with the whole three dash idea but it's just on a ridiculously longer cooldown. But yeah since I have a few weeks before school starts, I'll see if I can learn as many champs as 'im da most diverse out of my premade suckahs' known as Ryudo Squirrel. Challenge accepted, let's d-d-d-uel.

They're pretty cool. We all know which one's my favourite though: :p

OMG JUST HURRY UP AND LEARN AN ADC ALREADY >:[

Dragon January 10th, 2015 7:22 PM

If you don't mind me making another topic question:

What are your goals for the new season for 2015?

Personally, I'll at least shoot for a platinum rank this year.. I've hit gold everytime, but, never really devoted myself towards platinum, because we'd still get the ranked awards from gold anyway, haha~

Also, maaaybe I should try and master the jungle role. I'm sorta.. 'off' on ganking aspects, but, it shouldn't be to tough to practice?

JustJeff January 10th, 2015 10:46 PM

I kinda surprised on how many people still play or are new to League~! It makes me wanna Re-Vamp the thread and add all them summoner names!

Goal for the 2015 Season?
Probably not that much~ Maybe Finally max out my Rune Pages or perhaps learn how to play Kalista. Lol Bin playing this game 4 way too long~
And all you people, add me~! Ign: JustJeff / Region: NA
Wud love to have some games w/ the PC community~

Nolafus January 10th, 2015 11:16 PM

My main goal for the new season is to make it to gold. I've been playing a lot more ranked recently, and my mmr has fallen a bit to where I'm not getting paired up with gold people anymore. One thing I've learned so far is that I can't rely on my ADC as much as I could before, and so I'll probably have to pick up a couple supports that can carry a game like Zyra or Annie. Sorry Alistar, but you can't carry that well.

Or I could stop playing support, but I'm selfish and I don't trust anyone else with the role yet, haha.

Lusus January 11th, 2015 1:08 AM

I don't really have a goal, maybe make it to gold, but that means i just have to win 1 promo game and that's it.

Also make that troll off meta ranked team with my friends lel

Shut up you. >:[

I don't think I'm actually gonna focus on ranked until I get a bigger champion pool. Relying on only a few champs can be really risky / not worth in the end so I'd like to take time off and get better at all the different roles and become more of a team player in terms of picking for the comp instead of being limited to x, y or z champ. I'd also like to understand how people don't get 360 no scoped in bot lane or elsewhere as an ADC. Seems pretty hard to get the hang of the role - is it just my playstyle? :(

If I do somehow get all of the above, then Gold would be great but not a 'omg I must get it'. I'd rather focus on my own gameplay before worrying about my rank. Example: having the map awareness of Christopher Columbus is not good kids. Don't try it at home.

And Annie support's insane, Slayr. I think you'd really like her - she has a lot of carrying potential even with only some assists in lane. You can either be rather tanky with the support build or an absolute shredder with full AP after Sightstone. Her engages are great, damage's amazing and the amount of things she brings is endless. But I might be biased here since I used to main Annie support myself. Give her a go though - she's amazing at carrying games or at the very least, winning your lane. And TIBBERSSSS. I've seen some hilarious reactions to 100-0 support vs ADC duels as Annie. But yeah, good luck if you do try her. ;]

Lusus January 11th, 2015 4:31 AM

I prefer Annie mid, hit level 6 > charge stun > instakill your lane opponent

I second this statement.

As for my goals for 2015 season..... Learn a couple new champions, and extend my knowledge on current champions. Also get a better computer. And a car. Car overpowers computer. Car comes first.

I feel like repicking up rengar.

3 more days till that name changes. Talon time :D

Tristana is getting a champion update:

http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/champions-skins/champion-update/champion-update-tristana

Talon January 13th, 2015 12:58 PM

I like that change, actually. I really disliked the idea of having her just hit e and get 50.00 attack speed, allowing her to easily outdamage nearly any champion ever. I also don't like her passive.

I heard something about Aatrox getting an update to his ultimate and possibly passive.

Yep. Because Riven.

Nolafus January 14th, 2015 9:27 PM

I want season five to start already. If they have everything, then why not update now?

I'm betting it has something to do wit the idea of having a fixed season. Compare it to like, say NFL Football. It starts the weekend after Labor Day and lasts 17 weeks.

That being said I'm really excited for the Tristana update! It's pretty awesome looking. That being said, are you confusing her E for her Q? Her E was a simple dot that applied grievous wounds.

I don't see how this is change will give her a weakness though, which is why they claim to have done it in the first place. If anything it makes her stronger than she ever was before. She now has a mini zed ult that increases the damage of her jump, and does aoe damage. It just makes it even easier for her to jump into the fray and get those reset chains going. They seem to have cemented that idea as her play style. But apart from that, they've only increased her ability to siege turrets by adding a turret damaging skill that also kills minions. She already melted through turrets with the press of a Q and now that she gets to drop a bomb ontop of that it only makes it easier! Plus the bomb will weaken/kill minions which means her own minions will take less damage and she can remain their for that extra second or two she needs to down the turret! If you needed to clear a wave in a pinch, you had to use your Rocket Jump, but I think this new E will take care of that.

All in all I'm stoked for it although I suspect the numbers to be heavily monitored. Sure, if you want to attain her max power its going to take a little more thought, but this change has generally made her stronger if you ask me.

That aside, I love the new art! She looks amazing now, the effects on her skills look amazing(ROCKET JUMP OH MY GAWWWWSH) and the new animation rig actually has brought some life into her so she isn't looking like a statue.

I looked around a few days ago to see if I could find an actual date on when the new season would start, but it all seemed to be speculation. If they were going for a fixed season, then I don't really get why they would be shrouding the actual date in secrecy. I even looked on the forums, and I didn't see anything other than a few guesses.

I read through the patch notes, and I'm just so ready for it I don't want to wait, haha.

And yes, the new Tristana looks amazing, but I think she's going to be as powerful as ever. I expect a few nerfs to be heading her way in the future.

Well wonder no longer for the season starts the 21! At least, that's what it says here:
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/competitive/get-ready-2015-ranked-season

What do you think about the base gates? I personally don't like it very much. It ruins the idea of sieging a base by standing outside that wall. You ge a blitz pull or something over that wall and it basically spells death. Now they can just walk into the gate so...

Lusus January 16th, 2015 12:04 PM

I started playing Urgot again (mainly cause i got mystery gifted Crabgot). Such an underrated champ, landing 1 E bullies the enemy champ out of lane after you get a brutalizer.

Sigh.

On a good note, Trist update sounds interesting!

I don't really agree with there being such a thing as something that is so off meta that it wouldn't work. I've made Katarina jungle work. I've made Talon jungle work. AD Raka. AP Trynd. AP Vayne. APTrox. All of these things that are so off meta, and seemingly impossible, I've made work. The way I see it, the meta exists because we let it exist. If you play something, and do good, no one should care. If you're playing an off-meta champ, no one should care, because normals is for fun.

Nope. I honestly could care less. I don't play AP Burst mages that use it anyways.

Urgot was such a good bully with Soraka when she used to be good and being the only champion to restore mana. Urgot would just snipe people without having to worry about mana problems early game. He used to be my go to guy for ADC.

I actually play him top/mid lane now (just don't pick him against long range mids), and even once played him in jungle and it worked fairly well. In mid/top start Flask, 1 hp pot and 2 mana pots then rush a tear and brutalizer and you are set.

Probably not, but as an Ahri main and regular user of AP burst mages, I see this change as a big one. It will affect the usage of many AP mid-laners. In further regard to Ahri, they are also removing the personal DFG on her E, which I see as potentially destructive to her gameplay. She is being buffed, but not enough I feel to make up for the loss of the DFG and on her E.

I think Riot has made a dangerous move, but I'm interested to see how this decision will play out for Season 5.
