League of Legends anyone?

So, I'm excited for the Dominion patch (if that is whats coming tomorrow), because I cant wait to see the inevitable clusterfuck. They cant release a new champion without breaking the game for hours/days, them releasing a whole new game mode is sure to break the game for at least a week. Should be hilarious to watch unfold.
 
Dominion isn't coming out tomorrow. But when it does, I'm sure there will be several days of downtime and immense log-in queues. They'll have to change it from "over 9,000" to "over 900,000" to be more accurate.
 
[quote name='SEH']You have to be level 30 and play a total of 10 ranked games. Since you said you made the account three days ago, I doubt you're level 30 already.[/QUOTE]

No you don't. The Kayle skin reward is to all players that have done at least 10 Matchmade games. It includes Ranked Games, Co-op Games and Normal games.

[quote name='drooli']ah dangit I just bought Kayle 2 days ago. Is it ten games total from anytime (Just made this account...3 days ago)?[/QUOTE]

It's ten games from the start of Season 1. So you should be set.


Oh, and to the new players out there. If you don't wanna slip up and buy another champion that'll be given away for free, don't buy Alistar! His unchained skin was mentioned to be handed out for free during October on the ESL stream by Riot shoutcasters.

The Golden Joystick awards end on October 14th. So everybody is kinda thinking free Alistar + Unchained Alistar for that.

Ahh...my bad, I thought it was ranked games.
 
[quote name='icedrake523']The Unchained Alistar skin is pretty nice. I hope that is a freebie. I'd love to get good with Alistar, but he's so squishy early game.[/QUOTE]
hes got this sweet move where he knocks people a football field or 3 away from him... and a heal you can spam.
 
I think I'm done with random queues. Too many idiots plague the game now. It's either feeders on purpose or just afkers in ranked games. This community is going to end up killing the game. Riot does absolutely nothing on their part and all they do is be lazy and count on their horrible community and their stupid Tribunal to ban legitimate players. I think I'm done with this game. This is a perfect example how a crap community and lazy customer support can kill a game.
 
I get a lot of good teammates in solo queue. It's kinda funny, but I really only get slaughtered whenever I play with friends.

Oh, and the patch preview is up.

you can matchmake with a team, you know. anyone who actually cares what people do in normal games (or solo queue ranked) always have the option of playing actual 5s with a pre-constructed group of players.

i duo-queue rank with a buddy and sometimes it goes well, sometimes we get impressively poor sports to play with. it's no ones fault but ours though considering we're gambling with random matchmaking (out of sheer laziness because we dont have a full team put together yet).
 
lol! I like the tiny Singed buff. I kinda get the feeling that's a subtle middle finger to the people who say Riot only nerfs based on who the forums QQ about.
 
Meh, I'd still rather get Merc Treads. Spellblade is just straight AP, Cloak & Dagger is a shitty item, and Elesia's Miracle isn't that useful late game.
 
The Singed buff is completely retarded. He is easily the single most un-fun champ to play against because of how totally gay he is, and now he has a larger range for his fling. Awesome.
 
Riven is currently pretty underwhelming, a lot of people including me are having trouble with her =[

Like all melee ad characters, people are going the tanky route. I'm not sure if this makes sense though considering she's a paper bag compared to other melees, and when I say that I'm taking into account how she has no lifesteal, no powerful stun (her W is merely a 0.5 sec interrupt), her shield barely blocks anything, and her ult is just more damage -- no utility in this girl whatsoever.

My most successful build has been Dorans Blade -> boots -> Dorans blade - > BF sword -> Merc/Berzerker -> Black Cleaver or whatever, up to that point is still up in the air. Basically you build her straight AD like any ranged carry.

Maybe this is on the right track since she's completely AD, and even her shield (weak as it is) benefits from your AD. Initiating fights is not viable, whether tanky or not. There are many other champs in this game that can fill the OT role 10000x better than Riven, so I think the path of huge DPS is the better choice, dash away when you draw too much attention.

It's such a short dash though :bomb:
 
I've been told to go Doran's blade -> boots -> Brude -> Mercs -> ChainVest/Cloak -> BF Sword. Apparently Wriggle's is popular too. I'm guessing since people are just playing her like Stonewall says in the jungle right now.
 
I've tried jungle, getting similar times to Irelia jungle which is slow compared to top tier champs -- still not bad though, and her ganks are probably good.

Also, what is Brude?
 
My bad, I meant Brute. For Brutalizer.

Yeah, apparently her timing to lvl 5 is just about on par with Shen after his buffs. Which isn't too bad considering her item choices.

And I dunno about her ganks. Her gapclosers might be effective, but she'd be relying on Red to slow for her team to join in.
 
Nah sorry that was dumb of me. I've played LoL so long but I rarely ever visit community forums for it, and I still only go by pics for items :lol:
 
xD I have a friend like that.

R "You should build a Glacial Shroud now, you know?"
D "What's that?"
R "It's the defensive item that gives Armor, Mana and CDR."
D "Costs too much."
R "It's less than 1500g."
D "WHAT!? What is it?"
R "Look under defense."
D "I don't see it anywhere."
R "It builds into Frozen Heart."
D "What the heck is that?"
R "...the ice shield thing."
D "OH, so shroud is the small round shield with a lion on it?"
R "...I have no idea"
 
:') Still love Lee Sin. Just had a marathon six matches with him. Won four by a landslide. One we lost, after a grueling 70minute match and I still ended up going 12-2-4.

The final one though, oh god, 500ping crapshoots. Shockingly I still ended up going positive.

Wonder when this guy will be nerfed.
 
I've been waiting for the Lee Sin nerf. He has been the strongest AD champ in the game for a while now and is often banned from ranked play.
 
Yeah, I don't see how they couldn't nerf this guy. Mobility out the ass, great shield/sustain built in, high base damage and AD ratios. I'm loving every second of it~

Wasn't his most recent tweak a buff too? Even if this guy is nerfed, I don't think I could do poorly with him unless they decided to up his skill cooldown times by tons. xD
 
I rather see him stay where he is right now. He's very strong, but he has a steep learning curve and requires skill.

He's one of the champions that, although I rarely play, I'm glad I own because of how unique he is. Udyr is the other. I think everyone should own Udyr, no other champion is like him.
 
I officially hate the ELO reset. I'm Singed, my friend is WW, and we have a Morde, and this dumbfuck feeder Talon is bitching that we're losing because we have no tank. Yeah, it's definitely not the fact that you're 1-8.
 
We were all doing fine. I was raping up top solo and our Morde was beasting mid. Unfortunately, Talon thought he couldn't die, so he constantly would try and dive, only to die almost immediately. Our WW would try and help bot, but Talon would always die before he could get there. They pushed and destroyed bot and the rest was game.
 
[quote name='icedrake523'] He's very strong, but he has a steep learning curve and requires skill.[/QUOTE]

I call bull. If this were true, I'd be doing poorly with him. In the past fifteen games with the guy, I've won eleven.

I'm doing too well. It can't be me!
 
It's not bull, you've just gotten good with him. What's your build with him? I mostly just play him in Co-op since I'd just suck in Normal. I've tried the Warmogs > Atma's but prefer the Sheen+Phage > Trinity Foce.

Last night I had some annoying games. I was jungle Amumu, I'm too feast or famine with Leona. I'll have a game where I'll go 5/2/32, then go 1/9/6. We played with a Caitlyn mid who nearly died because she was texting. Then she was about 1/3 to 1/4 HP. Their mid had recalled and top was mia. I pinged and said care. So what happens? Irelia comes and kills her. Then our Talon was bitching that I wasn't ganking top and got mad that I didn't dive for Irelia (didn't have enough tank items at the moment). Then later, he and I encountered Irelia and Ashe in their jungle by the mid turret, he starts running away after I ulted, they kill me, finish him, while both got away with low HP. We still won anyway because it was a 4v5. It's better to lane more when that happens since it puts more pressure on their lane. At the end they just ran into us one at a time and died.

I used to prefer laning with Amumu, but jungling is a bit easier (though I do miss not having Ghost and Flash).
 
Nope. It's Lee Sin.

I do the invasion route in 5 v 5. Starting with a Longsword + Pot (requires defensive masteries). Starting at enemy wraiths (with team assistance) -> wolves -> wraiths -> mini-golem | Back -> Grab Blue/Pass it to Mid -> Look for gank opportunities.

If they have a good AoE damage jungler like Amumu or Nocturne that will want to take Wraiths asap, I just go Cloth + 5pots, starting at my wolves and only killing the large one. Then take blue and proceeding down the normal path.

Rushing Wriggles, grabbing Merc Threads (or Tabi, if no fear from enemy CC and the have more than one autoattacking demon). From there I go Phage + Giant's Belt and move straight into Atma's without upgrading into Frozen Mallet. I'll only upgrade to that when I need the invent room.

I don't build Trinity or Mogs, even if I'm snowballing off of enemy stupidity. If I am snowballing, I get a Gunblade. It seems like an odd choice, but the spellvamp with all his skills, on top of the added lifesteal lets you Q into a 1 v 2, and dash out with a free kill midgame.

Final build tends to be:
Wriggle's, Merc Threads, Mallet, Atma's, Force of Nature, Gunblade, [Sell Wriggle's], Sunfire Cape/Situational

3 v 3, starting item is basically immediate counterbuilding or a Dorian Blade for a lvl 1 gank. Same build, more or less. But I don't take Smite unless my other two allies are completely imcappable of burst to help secure the Dragon.
 
Had some good games last night. Been playing a lot of Kat again, and it's been going well. I've had a couple games recently where I've just destroyed the other team. One game had an Akali on the other team who kept talking shit early game. Then we tower dove and killed her, which resulted in a "Why u so mad? Gotta tower dive me?". So then I ended up killing her a lot, and the Ashe who kept trying to save her :)

I tried a game as Talon too. We won, but certainly not because of me. I had to go mid as Talon, and had only done 1 practice game with him. I didnt feed or anything, but wasnt much of a threat either. I like him though, and may have to get him.
 
HA! Just did another practice with Talon. I was getting blue buff in like 3-4 hits, so I'm like "Hell, I could probably do Baron".... nope. Forgot I'm super squishy. I did get him to like between 1/2 - 1/3 health though, which probably isnt bad. I keep dying to towers though, I keep getting greedy with those low health targets. I always get the kill, but I die too. I think I went 44/3
