Otherwise I am of the mind to keep playing the way we have been since we have had pretty decent success.
I was thinking last night after I had played a ranked game with gragas top (now that he is strong top) and it went pretty well we might be able to shake up our lanes a little bit if people want to do different things. We could get bryff some reps as Sona or Kassadin, Hedgie some mid lane, and pacov some more caitlyn games if I am playing gragas top.
Re: bryff I think we need to make more decisive decisions with Bryff's teleports. I think that is more my problem then anyone else's. I have started to expect Bryff to just know when to TP and when not to and that has been leaving us with bad dragon fights or other objective fights. I need to be much more decisive with my TP calls instead of either not saying nothing or being unassertive with the calls. Other than the pacov lag and Karl getting cou
Doom bots 5 was kind of tough. Took me two tries to beat it with randoms. Both games were filled with mostly bronze/unranked with maybe 1 gold player. I had to put my carry pants on.
Doom Bots are live, do not take them lightly.
Lets not all gang up on Pacov at the same time now! We have all had our moments give him a break.
If anyone likes metal I would suggest listening to "Thornmail" from the Pentakill album that riot made for fun. It is a pretty decent song with a fun story in it. The rest of the songs on the album are pretty meh. Some instrumental and a few more vocals. The lead singer from Dragonforce does a few songs on the album which is kind of fun if you are familiar with the band. I was pretty bored at work so I decided to listen to the full album a few times.
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="270" id="3480135"] Really, jungle is pretty balanced other than maybe Lee right now (which is why Riot's recent posts about why they can't nerf posts are stupid). There is a whole tier of junglers who are all pretty much equally competent. Just pick any of a number of reasonably powerful junglers as long as they can be build as a bruiser and can initiate at least somewhat, and you will be fine if you get good at them. I mean, is
Also I would like to get some ranked team games in. It feels like it has been a good while since we have played one (especially twisted treeline since brad has been pretty MIA). I will be around this weekend and I am on most nights at 7-8 central time during the week. A team consisting of myself, pacov, hedgie, thunder, karl, or bryff is most optimal since we have probably played the most games together so far but dan would be a delightful replacement if there is not enough people.
[quote who="izDanyo" reply="267" id="3480124"] I ban Rengar in fear of Jungle, and like 90% of the ones I see Jungle instead of Top. [/quote] Most of what I see is glass cannon jungle rengar. Its scary if it gets going and a complete joke if it doesn't in my experience. Very similar to shaco and yi. I think the tank build is probably more consistent but the glass cannon build is a much more fun way to stomp people.
RE: Tank CDR jungle Rengar Rengar has been played a few times now in the NA LCS seen. I have watched several of the games with the Tank CDR Rengar build and have been completely underwhelmed. Early to mid game he does fine but nothing the big 3 (eve, lee, spider lady) can't do the same or better. Late game I have seen him become completely useless. His initiation onto a squishy target late game basically does nothing. The amount of peel teams have at that point make renga
We should revive the Donger/leona bot lane. Those were the days Thunder. But on a more serious note Heimer is pretty bad right now. Easily countered by syndra, orianna, ziggs, and gragas who have all become enourmously popular the last few weeks. Heimer doesn't push or farm well when he can't keep up his turrets and all of those champions make very short work of Heimer turrets. In general he usually holds his own in lane but wont outrightly win it (he can hold on v
Well I have found the key to solo queue once again. wait for it.... wait for it.... troll with heimer every game. I can't lose with him!
Laundry is live for me as well! My roommate decided it would be a good idea to fill up the tub and forget about it so we had water all the way down my hall way. Needless to say every towel in the place is no longer dry and the floor is still wet... So I am off to dry some towels.... WOOO....
I think Riot was just making room for DanKnee to get into Diamond! haha
Well looks like my MMR hasn't changed with the demotion. Lost my first game despite dominating with Viktor -25 league points
Finally got demoted from Diamond! WOOO Maybe ill try to get it back maybe I wont. Its been win 15 lp lose 30 for a while now kind of glad that that might be over.
WTF PACOV you missed out on a night of swan :(
Swan is coming to hang out at my place tonight so maybe we can get some games in with him!
MAGICAL PACOV Good games tonight everyone! Very well played last two games after we got out the shit play in the first!
"I'd disagree that your jungle stable is an huge issue though." I wasn't really implying that karl was a massive flaw in our ranked 5's team. I mean we won pretty decisively after we had a nice pick in that kassadin, kog, udyr, morg, irelia game (it just took a lot longer than I wanted it to and it felt like we didn't really control the tempo of the game). It would be nice to have more options for us to dictate when we fight instead o
"Got my Plat 1 back c:" YAWN... when you are you going to sack up and grind out diamond? We could try duoing a few times again if you want some one that isn't terrible 75% of the time. Morgana as an initiator: I have always thought of her as more of a pick specialist with her Q or a go in 2nd type of champion with her ultimate. She is not reliable for starting fights. Flash+Ult+Zhonyas to start a fight is very unrealiable when compared to all
Something I would like to push a few of us toward is learning some new champions: Currently our ranked team suffers slightly from people with narrow champion pools. I would specifically like to point my finger at Karl and Bryff. Bryff's Irelia top and Kassadin mid are usually good picks but what if Irelia is picked by the other team and Kassadin is banned? I think Bryff would greatly benefit if he/we could broaden his champion pool. I think a Renekton/Lulu/Ryze/Kayle/Malphite/J4 would
"by just playing Ranked 5s" This needs to happen more often.
