[quote] Was this referring to something tonight? Because I don't remember complaints about that - the complaint was that we started a fight top (after announcing I was going to wander through their jungle looking for a fight), and their bot lane showed up unexpectedly, leading to a 0-3 exchange. We wanted the MIA call from pacov in chat, he thought that it didn't need to be called since Cait and him had backed recently. [/quote]
#vayne there is a bit of a mob mentality about stuff regarding why people lost a fight. Usually lost fights straight-up 5v5s come down to: 1- bad targeting (usually AP/top, not ADC) - also includes missed skillshots 2- bad positioning (usually AP/ADC) 3- they have summoners while you didn't (typically occurs in initiation) It usually isn't due to bad items or bad skill order (suboptimal skill orders only typically re
[quote] they tend to get pissy when folks under perform or are having a bad game themselves. [/quote] i really don't think this is true. We all have games where we feed 0/14 and generally speaking there is little-to-no chewing out. Usually people understand this, especially if you're someone who plays with the group a lot or is making a sincere effort to learn a new character and it just isn't working out.  
[quote] jungle doesn't really work that way - there might be some general principles, but there are lots of exceptions to everything. [/quote] [quote] One of the big struggles about learning Jungle is that it is really hard to know if you did the right/wrong thing until the game is over. [/quote]
as someone who worked in wildlife rehabilitation for a few years, it surprises me sometimes that people don't actually know what "triage"means. You have your patients that have a 0% chance of recovery. You have your patients who have a low-medium chance of recovery with a lot of work (but will die/be crippled otherwise) You have your patients with a high chance of recovery with a lot of work (but will die/be crippled otherwise) You have your
i'm not sure that Demigod will work very well with WINE. Also, Demigod is a P2P game, not a server-client and so the game will lag if you do not play with other players who are geographically close to your location. (check pings before you play)
Alright, so the original statement was "Nocturne does not build Aegis". i consider that to be in the same vein as: - Leona does not build Kage's Lucky Pick - Kog'maw does not build Bloodthirster - Orianna does not build Rod of Ages These are items that fit within a particular "class" or Role and similar champions do build these items (they aren't just flat-out weak items like Executionar's Calling). You can find plen
[quote] "Nocturne doesn't build Aegis" [/quote] i remember that quote from last week - it was pretty hilarious. http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Nocturne Anyway, a lot of what Karl is talking about is general jungling stuff (eg, tanky AD top that goes half damage half tank, glass cannon mid/support/adc). You're talking about a lot of edge cases. This i
yeah i don't play a lot of Ranked (1-3 games a weekend) and since i had only been Plat for a few weeks... not a lot of games. i was 28 LP on Friday, went 3-0 to get to promo, then passed 2-1 to get placed in Plat III (as of right now my games are Plat I/II and Diamond V). In one promo match i was first pick and 2nd pick was Plat I. So my MMR is pretty high.
i got the omega sized Razer mousepad recently (had similar mouse troubles due to a spill \:). It's really good - really love it. http://www.amazon.com/Razer-Goliathus-Extended-Mouse-Pad-Control/dp/B004JMZXMK/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1371704588&sr=1-1-spell&key
3:00 - super risky to stop a double buffed cho who had double buff, esp since Irelia was a little behind in EXP and the lane was pushed against her you could have risked giving Riven blue 4:30 - bot lane was pushed, you decide to steal wolves (?) but then you reacted to Cho's gank It would have been better to just go straight to bot before cho even appeared on the map because MF was super low (could have potentially dove from behind wr
[quote] masteries - 0/9/21 - a little bit tanky with extra gp/10, cdr, and move speed. [/quote] i think 2/7/21 is somewhat better in terms of raw jungling speed (Naut may be different because of his hp ratio with Veterans). i think you're supposed to get Vampiricism instead of EXP though (EXP% is pretty weak - better with the latest patch though). Summoner CD is really important... that's one of the big reasons to go 21 in Util
#support ks: Obviously, it's optimal for the ADC to be taking the kills (except perhaps at level 3 with a Leona because Leona will be hurt, can base + buy a ruby and then be unkillable for 15 minutes while her ADC free farms). However, it usually isn't a "huge" deal for the ADC to get the assist unless: 1- they end up being 150 gold short of a BFS (which sucks but #winninglaneproblems) 2- it's a 1-for-1 trade where the ADC on your team died but the support
well there were two wards, one in the lane bush close to you, and one in the far one. He went to the far one (going to the close one would have worked much better). That roam also hurt him midlane (he fell superrrr far behind because your team did 4 man ganks botlane like 3 times in a row and he got zero farm during that while at least i got to shove). he bought a 2nd dorans blade since he recalled to shop with 470 gold. That said, you gain ~a dorans blade of stats
re: diving also: it is pretty risky to dive someone with barrier while you have no ignite. that said, you had some nice ganks Karl. i'd see you coming but holy shit WW is fast and you'd get me anyway :( [quote] He likes to sit back and farm all day until fairly late in the game. You can't really do that in mid since their mid will exert too much pressure over the map. But you can do that from top. Bryff is getting into Irelia
[quote] My quick interjection - hedgie - if there's ever a situation where you feel a need to tell the other team to report me... well... either you are justified in trying to get me banned from a game I've invested a large sum of money in or you are being an asshole.[/quote] i don't want you banned (you're nowhere near a permaban anyway right) - but you when you do "that" kinda stuff (you know what i mean) and then say on the forum that you were inte
well i was thinking more your AppLocal file? C:\Users\___\AppData There are some registery settings and stuff you need to tweak. You can also just create a directory junction there instead. These are like Windows cache folders that get written to a lot - multiplie writes burn out SSDs. Tweak7 does it for you automatically (what i tell my friends to use).
it's Teleport/Smite Yi. He was using Ghost instead. [quote] ow... back hurts... chogath so heavy. huehuehue [/quote] Very risky to gank a +hp5 champ such as Voli/Swain/Mundo/Vlad when the lane you're ganking isn't using Ignite (in S2 it was a waste of time to gank a lane without ignite - but a lot of lanes are skipping ignite nowadays anyway. But it's still preferable to gank for lanes with Ignite). <d
[quote] By default, the 2nd blue goes to mid, and the 3rd red goes to ADC.[/quote] Well, usually i'd say 4th would go to ADC. At the 18-20 mark laning is still happening at times and even if a group is happening a lot of it is sieging, and ADCs aren't usually "going" quite enough. Putting red on a melee diver like toplane works better imo.
#gp-mid: Sure, Cow wasn't playing his strongest champs. But you also "stole" Karl's role. Karl can only play Cho in a solo lane (from what i've seen), and even though i do think he should branch out and generally has good jungle sense, occasionally he has unrealistic expectations from laners - so the expierence is good for him in some ways. But, from the get-go the roles were distributed in such a way you weren't playing for "best win chances".
