Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

LoLkemon!

Fiddle can't jungle? You guys are joking... right? I've played fiddle as my main jungle for about a week along with gp.

Also, Loling at all the "it's just a game" that get thrown around.

The secrets to laning against Gragas:
Don't walk backwards, walk sideways. Gragas players always hear "Throw the barrel behind them, they'll get scared and walk right back into it" so move unpredictably and maybe get boots very early.
Gragas is also similar to Mord in that you want to stay away from minions so he has to choose between you and them.

That's good to know, and yeah, I kept going back/forth, so, no wonder I kept getting smacked, ugh.

Then why do you Queue dodge, because you only want to "Tryhard" win?

Sorry Rick, I just couldn't resist

I want to have fun, that doesn't mean I want to have fun "losing". Why don't we just agree that we disagree on the merits of dodging and move on? Obviously people have chimed in on it and have expressed their own opinions, so rehashing it like this is a bit pointless and repetitive...

I played 2 games tonight with TheManu, first one good, 2nd one, very, very, very, very (really) bad, I played badly, didn't build my item list right, kept being magic rhaped... bleh. Outlaned, out played, it wasn't a good game for me at all. We never thought of giving up though. At least we fought all the way to the end.

I want to have fun, that doesn't mean I want to have fun "losing".

Having fun means you don't care about winning or losing, you play to have fun. If you don't have fun "losing", then you're not playing for fun, but playing to win.
You might have played for fun early on, but you've skewed to playing to win recently, as per your wording.

Also you need to get a sense of humor. I was only joking around with you, no need to take everything so seriously.

Having fun means to me that I can enjoy something. I can enjoy playing a game for fun while still wanting to win. Just because you lose doesn't always mean you'll have a bad time but it certainly heightens the chances.

Also can I find a easy to use LoL-recorder just by googling a bit? I'm really bad at those kind of things and usually take hours normally and I'd like to see what mistakes I make during games.

Also I played Lux almost exclusively during my leveling up period and I dived right into ranked at lvl 30. After 20 games I was at 1400 or so. So it really doesn't matter that much if you don't know every champion and such. Usually you'll only battle the same champions over and over anyway. You won't find any heimerdingers in 1500+ elo, which is a shame in my opinion because I actually do pick some of the funner picks whereas they might not be the most competitive like ezreal for AD carry.

Which is completely understandable. Even I'm in the same boat. The only problem is it doesn't help the case when he's "Queue Dodging" to avoid losing, which is where I'm getting at.

Trolollollol. Rick, why so serious? I swear you're becoming a bit like me now a while back, taking things too literally (though I learned my lesson and moved on). Take a joke. It's healthy! Lolol

Oh and Yorick is too OP if he is not kept in check. Played against one today who zoned out top lane, farmed like nuts, and snowballed out of control. He was tanky as pineapple (150+ armor, 200 MR), had 300+ AD, and healed like crazy. Lesson? Gank him early on.

Though I wont be surprised if Riot tweaks Yorick a bit in the future. For now though, he is much better than the old Yorick.

Also getting tired of playing against Blitz and Alistar on the same team ;_;

Lol nerfing Annie next patch.

Lol nerfing Annie next patch.

Annie too good! She can burst you down in 2 seconds with her unloading her spell combos all at once perfectly!

I keed I keed (I only see Annie bot pull that shet off in Co-op vs AI, not normal players), but I'm guessing too many people QQ'd over her and her bursting capabilities?

Edit: Reading through the "If you could have one League of Legends champion as a parent" thread, Josh would so love this one for HerperDerper:

The idea on having the genius inventor as a parent, is odd, but ask the right way and it doesn't matter what you drive or use or how silly it looks, it's always above top of the line. [My dad's stationwagon can outrace your dad's Maclaren.] There's always the flaw though...
"Sorry Jimmy, you can't come over, someone set the house alarms off, and the machine guns on the lawn are acting up again."

Another good one:

Cho'Gath?

"Daddy, I'm hungry"

"OMNOMNOMNOMNOM"

"There's... there's enough food for both of..."

"NOMnomNOMnomNOM"

"You're not going to be able to fit in the house if you keep eating like that."

The QQ for Annie only shows the stupidity of the community tbh.
'Annie in lane is so op. Once she hits 6 you are dead unless you tower hug'
Why was this not said before Annie was buffed? When her level 6 was actually better than it was now? lol. Nobody is complaining about her late game which is what they actually changed, its all about what they actually made worse that's apparently so OP.
People are actually suggesting to remove her mana refund on her Q. Shes had that (i believe) since her release. Why was it fine until now?

Community makes no sense mang.

I mostly agree with you. Quite a few champs fell victim to the QQing of those who don't know how to deal with them. Notably Eve.

I think you people forget that fun is subjective.

Right now, I just want to have fun playing this game with Taric and get UP to a true level "30" ability in playing before I really start to play other champions. I know that may not be the way anyone else would do it, it's just the way I want to do it.

I used to think like this with Ashe. Part of getting up to "level 30 ability" is being able to play more than one champ.

Gragas is also similar to Mord in that you want to stay away from minions so he has to choose between you and them.

Morde's a bad example for this since if you stay away from your minions you take a hell of a lot more damage from Mace of Spades.

Because before that she was a stunbot, so no one played her in high ELO. Now she has good ratios and stuff. She gets played in high ELO. Everyone copies them.

Annie's early game used to be even stronger. They just nerfed it and made her late game good.

Just had a nice Soraka game, 1/1/17. Forgot to run LolReplay though :'(

Building AP on Soraka seems to be the better option than pure support, although maybe just a deathcap would suffice. Doing cheeky silences on people with escapes (lol cait you can't net) was fun

 One ranked game for today

I just happened to decide to play a ranked today. Got in, and I was surprised to be team captain.

Bans: Alistar, TF (me), Shen, Fiddlesticks (other team). Now tbh, I seriously don't know the logic behind the enemy team's bans.

So since I was the second to ban, I got first pick. Grabbed Amumu, and declared jungle. Our team composition was pretty solid; altogether, our team was made up of a tank, AP carry, AD carry, support, and an off-tank.

The other team tries to invade our jungle and force a level 1 teamfight. Long story short, they stayed in the bushes too long near blue and Malz was able to use his Q quite a few times on them, dealing quite a bit of damage. They decided to retreat after couple of their teammates had low HP, but GP and a couple of my teammates pursues them and gets 2 kills with Parrley.

Things went well for us. Bottom (GP + Sona) did well, and GP became quite fed. Later in the laning phase, I so happened to be near the top brushes when Blitz decides to grab my Irelia teammate and attempt to kill her along with his Orianna teammate. I pretty much Bandage Tossed in and ulted, and me and Irelia proceeded to take out their Blitz and force Orianna back. This happened again a bit later on. Their Blitz was terrible, he was too easy to kill.

The other team didn't get enough votes for a surrender multiple times; we eventually took out their Nexus

Hu, I think Ressic and I played with ShaChu. Dunno how he managed to play with you since both Ressic and I have terrible ELOs =P.
