Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

I've been there. I used to get boots every time before I went out to my lane. But once I switched over to Doran's Shield, my survival rate improved, and I was able to lane longer. And I could do a bit of harassment on my own without getting cut down too much. All thanks to the +8 armor, +200 HP, and additional HP regen every 5 seconds.

Er, it's +120 HP or thereabouts actually. Ruby Crystal only gives +180 HP >_>

there you go again, instantly attacking a playstyle you obviously dont understand.

Hurr durr because he doesnt like it he doesnt understand it.
I've used this strategy in DotA tyvm, i know exactly how it works to start with boots
But then i got taught that there are better ways to start the game.
Saying that i don't understand it, is quite lame because i do, i always thought to buy boots because then i wouldnt die early game.
And in DotA there are even 2 heroes that i WILL start with boots with, but one gets first blood everytime if he boots up with a stunner and the other gets damage based on his movespeed.

i never said that. i said i use them as a replacement for ghost when my opponents attempt an early gank, and do not take ghost because of that. in fact, i said i often have trouble escaping when a team fight goes sour. i normally dont have anything but boots2 for move speed and flash has a long cooldown.

And i'd love to know how you get ganked earlygame. Do you play without wards? If so nevermind this discussion. When i lane in a serious game we ALWAYS have a ward up, i don't care if i solo queu and have to buy it myself, i spam wards everywhere. If you use wards getting ganked becomes 99% harder and you'll need to overextend to the max in order to die.
And ashe has no freacking escape options, that's why you play her with ghost flash, ghost>flash for her tbh.



Also, i only play premade, can't be bothered with solo queu and i rarely play LoL nowadays.

It seems that on the games I play like pomegranate, my team ends up being decent and I win.
On the games that I play well, my team ends up being pomegranate and I lose.

Sense is not made. x.x

Bleh took time to play a 3 person premade with 2 randoms, we did alright and won but their morde kept telling me how sucky i was while i was one of the main reasons we won teamfights <_<
Their kata and cassiopeia was the most fed on their team so i made sure they were disabled as much as possible and that kat didnt get off her ult, he kept whining about that i had more deaths than kills, no kidding i'm not a carry, i don't care about kills, i had a lot of assists tho and i was the one who was focused, i stole baron from the enemy twice and solo'd him once while both teams were almost dead.
Oh well, who cares. Back to HoN for now

I hate to be an ass here, but lern2beaware of your surroundings. Even if your own teammates are not calling out MIAs, you also have the responsibility of knowing when its not OK to extend your neck too far. There's no excuses here.

actually, my point is that i DONT get ganked early. apparently, i am bad at communicating.

I've played in like, four premades. I only solo queue, so I can't rely on my team for any kind of help, I have to make the biggest splash I can in the shortest amount of time so that one of us doesn't get the chance to screw up.

being able to depend on the rest of your team is something i take for granted. my friends understand their roles quite well with certain characters, and we often turn around a bad start later on instead of letting it become a surrender at 25. we can still pull it off with 1 random, but 2+ randoms is just horrible.

Ran into a person on 3v3 that is the type of person i hate in this game.

We surrendered and hes like 'haha you cant even win against a level 6'
my friend is like uh your team was good not just you
and he goes 'gtfo and l2p'

The funny thing was he told us to learn to play yet mid game he announced over all chat 'how come do my ult not work?'

Is it just me or if you take a quick glance at Twisted Fate's avatar you see a penguin with a hat?

You're thinking too hard.

^^ your friend.

It seems they're nerfing mana regen runes.

Early game is gonna suck just a little more for mana users x.x

.

Doesn't that discourage starting with boots even further?

Source and info plz, imma kill someone if it's true, nerfing my fav heroes and my fav runes, no reason to return soon

All the useful runes are being nerfed, from mana per 5 per level to HP quints, to critical rate/damage.... it's fucked up but Phreak told us to wait for the patch day preview before we go nuts over it.

no not really, one of the advantages of boots is using your super early speed advantage to lure in a gank and be able to escape from it. it wastes your opponents time and allows your allies just that much more freedom.

im not saying i dont make early pushes and only farm, because i do push sometimes. but when their jungler starts running towards you, what do you do? flash, ghost, run. boots mean you dont need that ghost and can take another spell in its place. i prefer tele for its different purposes. and i already have a slow that nets me the same speed advantage as ghost in late game.

oh god, mana regen runes MAKE the type of champs i play

If you're burning a summoner when you get ganked then they succeeded.

Mana regen runes pretty much make DPS carries...

Played 6 games today, won two. I swear, I'm level 28 with 14x wins and I only end up queued with and against level 30s with 200+ wins. -.- Almost always a non-factor in the outcome of the game.

Guinsoo has repeatedly stated that we won't be disappointed with the mana regen changes...

I have to admit, I'm curious now.

Starting to play trundle a lot more often now.

Too fun.
