Well, duo lane is actually my second best location. Its just that I'm a much better Taric than any AD carry. And I don't like playing support when I'm first pick.
WW requires attack speed reds and quints. No, he can't really gank well pre 6. You should only really try if the other team pushes a lane hard. After 6 he probably has the strongest ganks of any jungler.
The fundamental problem with Civ V is that it was released in a broken state. I beat the game on standard settings at Immortal difficulty my second game. Thats how bad the AI was at release. It's nice that its gotten better, but its taken so long to get the game even to an OK state.
Man, I just saw Dignitas beat CLG with that crazy comp too. Lulu top, Soraka mid, Janna and Kog bot. They just get to the point where Kog isnt going to die and he just cleans everybody up. It's pretty silly.
IPL4 is on right now. Game 3 of Dig vs MM now, think TSM v Cursed is up next, which will be a good one. This should be interesting...Dig is running AP Soraka mid in the deciding game of the series...
[quote who="pacov" reply="466" id="3121873"]If you tower dive two enemies alone, and get one kill, then die, you lost. You gained 300 gold. Your enemy gained 300 gold plus 210.[/quote] I thought that this was pretty well known. This is why I usually play fairly aggressively on tower dives in the mid game. If you dive somebody 2v1, and you get the kill but die in the process, its worth it. Your team got kill gold plus assist gold, they got only kill gold.
Yorick is supposed to take teleport so that he has some presence outside of lane early. The basic idea is that he isn't going to get ganked or killed no matter what summoners he takes, so exhaust or ignite aren't really worth it anyway. But he should be a monster in any dragon fights, or if there is a gank going down bot. Suddenly Yorick TPs in, can't be killed, ults the ad carry, slows the hell out of the other team, and they all die.
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="3" id="3112500"]It wouldn't be any better than GalCiv2. With old classics, you either make the same game over with a bit of sparkle, and it feels dated or you remake it with modern gameplay ideas and the old time gamers feel cheated (not me, but many gamers seem to feel that way). Best to just make a new franchise and say goodbye to those old ones forever.[/quote] Oh please, if Stardock made GalCiv3 right now, it would almost certainly be b
It's "Master of Orion". Anyway... [quote who="shadowtongue" reply="1" id="3112470"] quoting post I grew up on Masters of Orion II and was bitterly disappointed with Masters of Orion III. It totally missed the point that the game was meant to be fun and filled with big strategic decisions. Instead it was mired down in tiresome micro-management and replaced fun with realism. What? MoO3 was the ulti
We could have held out in last nights game if we didn't have the DC right as I was running in to contest baron. We would have had to turtle, but it wasnt a loss and we would have won eventually probably. But going 4v5 when they have baron at that stage of the game is an auto loss. But anyway, that game does bring up a good thing to remember - generally don't go for dragon that late in the game when baron is up. They can usually take baron before you can run f
[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="378" id="3104710"] Quoting Krazikarl, reply 376What is your friends name? And at decent ELO, everybody knows to check your own red to make sure that Shaco doesn't start there. I have the feeling that this guy does great with Shaco at like 1000 ELO and thinks he is all that, but would get crushed at higher ELOs. Olaallppl he has a billion games but no ELO not really the best player <br /

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="364" id="3104397"]You know that Gamespot and Gamestop are not the same thing, right? Anyway, if you go over to my thread "Hey, I actually like Civ V", I actually regret NOT listening to Gamespot on that one. It was the exact opposite situation. Critical reviews are definitely not the be-all, end-all, but we at least need something to go by before plunking down our money. [/quote] Gamespot's review was way off at release. You played the game mu
[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="360" id="3104325"]you are balanced throughout all stages of the game and removing one piece shouldn't make you fall flat on your face... and that's why I disagree with Chauster don't flame me for disagreeing with a pro[/quote] I dont know how familiar you are with pre European metas, but just because you double tank bot doesn't mean that you have to do those other lane assignments that you mention. It used to
[quote who="pacov" reply="359" id="3104285"]Good interview from Chauster about counters. http://www.ign.com/ipl/tv?screens=chauster-interview-counter-to-everything%28vod%29&f=all&p=new Most interesting is how he's going off on people dogmatically sticking with the meta (eg AD carry + support bot) and he suggests that 2 tanky characters completely counter that.[/quote] Chauster can say what he wants, but he plays bot lane, and in every competitive matc
I don't mind the smaller teams and having only 1 main base. To be honest, the originals did get bogged down by requiring you to start some mission types with very large squads. This meant that taking down an alien base in TFTD took FOREVER. And I didn't even bother with things like Artifact sites (other than to show up and immediately dust off) just because it would tie up a whole gaming session just to clear one site. The same applies to the stupid multilevel
I dont know how I feel about the UI being based on consoles. It seems like it would be really annoying in a game like this. I really hope that they don't do the classic move of making the UI for consoles and then doing a crappy job of porting it to the PC.
[quote who="pacov" reply="325" id="3100356"]heh... I so want to play at least 1 game with a troll team. I was just thinking about (apparently I think about strange crap on lunch breaks from time to time) having a teemo or rat or eve tp to a tower as soon as the game started after buying a sight ward. You wouldn't need to tp if you were eve or the rat, ofc. Anyway, if it was teemo, he'd tp to the tower at the start, then place a ward at the back corner of wolves
[quote who="pacov" reply="295" id="3096545"]For instance, she's an exceptional counter to jax with reposte. You see a jax coming at you from a distance, you know its going to be a jump with his w active. You can block that crap completely.. or so i think. [/quote] If Jax is smart, he just Q's on, does an autoattack to get Parry down, then fires w. Fiora should be trying to time it on the ult proc anyway. And Jax murders Fiora 1v1 simply because his E is way better
[quote who="pacov" reply="271" id="3093664"]You know what I'm still ABSOLUTE rot with? Items that have active's. I don't know what it is, but I am almost always a complete idiot when it comes to using them. I like, completely forget, 99% of the time, that I have an active. Doesn't matter what character, too. And there are ALOT of cool actives. Anyway, I'm hoping that clicks in my brain at some point. Kind of sad that it has not yet after so many games. [/quote] Yea
IPLoL finals coming up. BTW, if anybody is having problems with TwitchTV, its often a good idea to right click and disable hardware acceleration. This seems to help a lot of people. And dammit, they are banning WW. I hope that doesn't become a trend in solo queue.
Weeee, had the same troll 3 games in a row in ranked. First game she demanded top from 4th pick, went Riven v Nidalee, and super fed (0/9/0 at 20 minutes). Everybody else was winning, so we tried to keep playing since we were actually even on kills despite top. But Riven REALLY wanted to surrender to avoid getting more deaths (and looking worse in Tribunal when reported for feeding). When we refused to surrender, she just wnadered around map doing random things (1v1

I might be done with ranked, I like that people are more serious. I want to ****** when they spend the whole game being ass monkey's, and usually with no regard for the actual problem the team faces.
