[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="2576" id="3613180"] I think thunder was referring to zyra being a bad pick it your team needs a tank. [/quote] I don't think that was the case last night though. Good point, though.

Oh - and if you'd care to learn how to work with her better, I can provide you with some feedback. And that's not to say I'm a zyra expert and you are a pooper or anything - or that zyra/kali is the most ideal combo, but I really don't think its subpar. When you played kalista you weren't really utilizing your ult in a way that had much synergy with zyra. We had a few instances where I was setup to land an ultimate while tanking damage. I cast my
[quote who="Thundercles" reply="2573" id="3613152"] but without the team-comp issues you cause for your team when you take her bot lane. [/quote] huh - what team comp issues are you referring to on a support with excellent cc and one of the best support ults in the game? Curious if you have any thoughts re: why you feel this way... or if its just feels. You still build support items as needed and if doing well, you build an additional support item via rylai. &nbs
Yeah, I should fall back to that - I've played him a bunch top already and even more as support. Downside is that trundle banned/picked a bit - to be fair its not that common. That might be the answer though. Thanks! I'm mostly just trying to come up with some picks where I can carry or at least develop some addition depth in exactly 2 lanes.
Finally done playing karma... that was a bit of a chore. Trying really hard to figure out a good 2nd comfort role. Hoping that doesn't go back to adc. My quinn top is pretty serviceable though with a really nice mid game spike. I really like solo lane as there are less variables - not currently feeling any particular jungler atm either. I can probably get some pretty good elo out of top lane quinn as my secondary and support as my main. Really looking forward
And after watching quite a few high elo people play wu top and then trying it a few times, it appears as if I understand wukong jungle well and not so much top wukong. I'm continually mismanaging mana - most because I'm including my w in the combos to avoid retaliation. Which isn't so smart, so I'm losing the blue bar war. Which means i can't do much when my jungler shows.... expecting me to do things... when i dont have the mana to. Lots to work on
so as the new champ select gets ready to roll out to ranked, I want to settle into some picks for 2 lanes. Currently eyeing support (all set) and top (not so set). I've been crunching some numbers coinciding with my existing comfort levels with champs and I'm starting to lean towards wukong top as one of my alternates due to late game win potential (eg 1 good engage at a certain point = buhbye). Anyway, are there any top lane matchups you can think of where
I think if you have a I think we all agree its really just a grinding system in its current iteration and is really in no way a reflection of skill. I also agree the way points are handed out is a little silly ("I f you win you get a lot, if you lose you don't regardless of how well you preform as an individual in that game" - cow).
Anyone else a nerd about champion mastery? [img]http://i.imgur.com/aBpbaD2.png?1[/img] Kind of OCD playing folks at this point... anyway, share if you care to. I don't think we can see anything other than your top 3 outside of a copy/paste
So... I was putzing around and tried out cull again. Help me out here - mathematically its a nearly useless, bad in pretty much all cases item, right? Price 450 gold passive - 1 gold for every minion killed - max 100 (so you can get 100 gold total as a bonus there). Once you get 100 CS, you immediately get 300 gold. So, the price is 450 gold. You earn, after 100 creeps, 400 gold. So, you are actually in the hole 50 gold. That sa
Spreading cheer in the new year. Hi.
Happy new year everyone!
Well then - random recap of recent happenings. 1st - happy new year, folks! Hope 2015 treated you well, but its time to kick it to the curb. Anyone remember our new years eve Demigod games? :) Anyway, we learned the karl thinks support poppy is really strong and some high elo players are loving it. We learned lower elo players are shite with her though and get stomped into the ground. And I maintain that POOpy is and always should b
nami and janna both have pretty good win rates now. Both at 54% win rates
I'm forming a super team. Bobby Big Wheels and PDT. Bobby Big Wheels is pretty awesome. That name alone. http://plays.tv/s/Kc7BJ4jKB4w0 The play is a thing that happened, but seriously though - doesn't that name sound like they were childhood friends?
You guys have any thoughts about having a slot that's reserved for pink wards and only pink wards? I never really dug the penalty for not being able to get one. Would make games longer though - but there would probably be bigger fights late/mid for ward control
So, another thing I did recently. I started canvasing several high elo, non streaming support players (D2 and above) from all over the world. I noticed something interesting on several players accounts. Supports rushing into dark seal. For those that don't know, dark seal is the 1st component on meiji's soulstealer. Its 400 gold, gives you 100 mana, 15 AP, 25% increased healing from pots (eg a 150 hp restore red now gives you 37.5 more HP). You get "glory

Other stuff - so, I think I pinpointed my biggest weakness in lol and its something I want to improve on. I have very retarded decision making in 2 specific scenarios. 1 - proper rotation after death. This is my absolute #1. I'll die, for whatever reason (lets say I magically did something super well, but died as a result). Anyway, a prolonged fight is still going on. I have to run all the way from our base on respawn somewher. My options
A few things 1 - So I started using plays.tv - I think Dan put me onto it awhile back. Its basically a client that will record your lol videos (not replays, but the actual gamepaly from your POV). Anyway, it shines with its integration and ease of use. When you finish a game, it quickly parses the video (instant like) and gives you a simple timeline that you can filter. You want to see all of your kills, deaths, or assists - you toggle the filter and you see a
fun fact - pete's skype works because he uses it on his cell. Anything he tries to do on pc doesn't work because his pc is fugged. says windows 10 is a pisser
onto zyra tonight - i hear she's an amazing jungler. I'm running her as support, though. Good results last night, tonight so so. Most games I'm pretty solid - some a little off with the cc.
So I'm all like hey, I want to learn how to do some ryze combos all proper like... I look up a few diamond 1 folks. MUTHER FREAKING 5.3 gp/10, mpen, and armor for runes... 0/18/12. the french toast are those runes... edit -went with a normal ryze setup. I suck w/ ryze and no longer interested :P
Naw - no audio on pete in teamspeaks. Anywho - Merry Christmas, folks. Wishing you all the best.
That night where Peter tilted and started insulting Boaz and his children. hue. In fairness, I did warn Boaz not to suck as Lulu.
