GG @Rangor - Lux top is new meta. - 4v5 for ~60% of the game was p fun.


Good guy jungler, gives blue buffs to a constant trash talking mid, who keeps dying to Ryze

Also lol at the karthus' name in @Trilliana's pic.

Cynlael

@Rangor why you do this to me?

Team too fat.

Mishgul

lmao Andrei

It wasn't an awesome or amazing game. But oh my god, the lag. (see post-game chat). And it wasn't just me. It was most of us on both teams. And yet, we still managed to win with all that lag.

Probably because we had all this aoe... That's about the only thing that let us win.

Riot is telling me "you're not allowed to play normals today" because, before this game, I had -tried- and got screwed out of two games by dodgers and... well, third time is the "game I have to play support" and I dun wanna. I just wanted my first win of the day... And then there was all this lag, so... No.

Erasariel

I won. Textbook botlane poke comp victory.

About damn time.

Last game with Kray, I was accidentally stealing  KS every 5 minutes, edited his name since he hasn't posted his user here

Anyone else noticed the nerf early game on Thresh? I felt so squishy the whole  first 15 minutes

The last 2 patches have had changes to Thresh, but this is from today's patch notes:  Thresh

• Base Health reduced from 541 to 500
• Base Armor reduced from 18 to 12

 

Damnation ( Passive )

• Souls now always grant 0.75 Armor and Ability Power instead of starting at 1.0 and granting diminishing returns per soul collected

Summary: Thresh will be more vulnerable at early levels but souls will now grant a flat bonus for each one collected, with no diminishing returns.

Context: We wanted to make trading in lanes a little riskier for Thresh as he already had a lot of crowd control in Death Sentence and Flay. Additionally, souls had the tendency to become negligible in the late game due to their diminishing returns, so letting them give a flat bonus means Thresh’s passive won’t feel worse for players who are diligent in picking up souls.

Also, Yi's rework is out, as is TF's passive change and a few other things that might make me rage.

Cynlael

I just play Lulu when people play Thresh / Blitz. Makes them cry all the time

TF passive equates to between 6-8 gold per 10, now.

Vaehl

Ughh all these feeders making me want to play antifundamere

Mishgul

You are a feeder. I know where you live. I've seen your piglets.

Daklore

Feed, or I feed.

????? I'd never eat Piglet

Erasariel

I TOLD YOU VULCUN STILL GOT IT!

VULCUN 3-0 I BELIEVE!

Daklore

Finally had a good game as ADC in normals. Where I didn't have to fight to get it, and my support wasn't a moron. Pretty great, actually. What was I... 8/1/5 Twitch? I didn't get a screenshot. But it was great.

Now if only I could get games like this more often, ne? I don't know why the team waited so long to decide to "group up and teamfight". As soon as I dropped my turret, I wandered to mid with the intent to help push that one down. They were all like, "no, don't roam, Twitch." ... so I free-farmed bot while they lost top and mid's outer and inner turrets.

After that, they decided it was time to teamfight. Pew pew pew!

Jespar

a really really really fun game was back and forth alot and was just a great game....
this one on the other hand

was probably the worst game i have had it was 3v5 almost the whole game too
BUT i guess this stuff happens and you just have to get over it
anyway i have fallen in love with nasus :O he so cooooooool

Cynlael

wot.

Liandry's on Nasus? Wat build is this. AP Nasus rushes Rabaddons + Mpen boots and Lich Bane.

Erasariel

well, he -is- new, you know. :P

I think Liandry's can work on AP/magic pen Nasus because of the ult. The huge amount of damage of time ticks will burn objectives and teams down, fast. I'm thinking Rylai's, Liandry's, mpen boots, and then tanky items (and maybe a sunfire also).

Mishgul

his ult caps, only worth getting a liandrys.

This works. My Nasus in ARAMs wrecked balls. Insta kill circle after wearing down with Q.

Had a few games with Katalyst and a few Aetolians (man, what are the chances of running into the husband of your dormant aet char by any chance) yesterday. Wish I had the sense to screen cap last night's matches. Was fun as hell. Won one close ARAM with both team's inhibs and nexus turrets down. Gogo Eve!

I had been on a losing streak with a premade group I was running with, so I politely asked for ADC, they gave it to me and I went 9/0/4 Caitlyn, felt awesome! Then lag set in, so I only got assists as MF, and did absolutely horrid as Ashe.

Daklore

Get Canadian interwebs then. Lag? What lag? The cold makes the data go faster to get the hell out of the cold. *sage*

Still amuses me when I get better ping than people who are geographically closer(which, is almost all of you in North America) to the Riot servers than I am. I tend to average 116ms, but sometimes I actually get down to 98. I don't know why, but I'll take it.

Trilliana

I hit a bunch of lag today, but other people in my game were lagging too, so I think it was server-wide. And for some reason it hits me hard and I'm close to L.A., so I'm near one of the servers (normally hit only 24 ping, today was in the 40s)

Least you're not like me. I tend to spread my damage out in teamfights, so I hardly ever get kills outside of lane. I think the last time I played AD I was on Trist and went like 4/2/15 or something.

Daklore

Yay Tibbers!

Yeah, just an ARAM, but Annie is fun. And ARAM is the only place she's good, most of the time, these days !_! I know, I know, she works on SR. But other mages just do what she does better. And once her Tibbers combo is down, she's usually no much use for another 60-90 seconds(depending on rank and cdr). Not entirely, but, mostly. W is too short range(even harder to smart cast it)

Daklore

Okay, I know this is a double post.... but I'd be waiting forever for someone else to post

I finally took the dive and played my first ranked game

I was expecting trolls, and horror, and toxicity! ... That'll probably come next game. Laning phase was pretty much a wash, not much aggression. Since I have shorter range than Caitlyn, and she had Raka, I didn't bother getting aggressive. And she was too afraid to get aggressive. So we went about even in CS during laning, with me slightly in the lead.

Which was fine with me, because, Twitch scales better into the lategame. Rushed bork, because Singed. But dat Karma mid. She just destroyed Ahri. Apparently, enemy team was filled with rage and toxicity, I feel kinda bad for them. But, Caitlyn could've won laning phase because, even with her passive support, she was more than able to poke the shit out of me. And didn't.

Wonder how I'll end my placements. With my luck, 1-9 and forever doomed to bronze! XD (okay, I'm optimistic enough to say at least 5-5 or close to that. I doubt I'm good enough to go 10-0)

Edited to add: Oh! Tryndamere was so happy that game. Because we never lost a single turret. I was dismayed at him picking Tryn, and I was like, "well fuck, he's going to feed Singed and Singed will carry." Colour me impressed that he not only didn't feed, but did very well.

Cynlael

@Daklore did you just say Annie was only good in ARAM's?

..She is fairly free elo up until plat, at least, if you can play her properly. Plenty of people still play her at higher divisions as well, she becomes a 'niche' pick at those stages, though, when counters actually become slightly more relevant. (Yes, I'm aware the only 'true' counter is a player vs player, not champ vs champ)

Daklore

I never said -only- good. Just mostly only >P

Also, I'm pretty sure we shouldn't be taking anything I say as any fact anyway... I thought ya'll were already aware of that. Rule of thumb: Never listen to Daklore. Ever.

Daklore

Did more ranked... here's game 2 of placements:

Such a great start!

... this was followed by two games with utter morons. I guess the universe had to balance itself. I still haven't ever gotten a gank to my lane by my team's jungler. Well... okay, there's been a couple where they just poke their head in lane and then run away, accomplishing nothing.

2-2.... Well, at least the worst I can do now is 2-8. That's better than my early prediction of 1-9 XD

(yes, I know, I suck)
