just had the wonderful experience of playing against an akali as zed top. Was aggravating, forgot how bursty she was. Started roaming and got fed though, and that gave me the little boost I needed to carry our criminally inept vayne to victory.
[QUOTE=Flip pl;41514832][B]stealth is a pretty toxic mechanic [/B]and its very good that riot is making it so it requires some strategy to pull off something with it
i still hate akali's shroud and wukong's decoy because of how brainless they are to use

stealth is why i dont play dota 2 fuck that shit[/QUOTE]
Actually it's more like stealth is a mechanic that costs too much for to deal with
Vision wards at 125 can only be place once and you can't really put them all over the map to deal with stealth in your average game of solo q without losing out a lot, and Oracles is all risk with very little reward in most cases.
Playing Vayne or Twitch rapidly pulls in LP.
Playing Support (Favourite role) loses it hand over fist.. lol

Glorious Q-> W -> AA -> R combo
I should play more cho'gath
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;41515101]He's probably going to be a bit more played when the visual rework comes. I'm sure there's a number of people who don't play him because he looks like a pack of dry, uncooked noodles.[/QUOTE]
I'm still waiting on that Evelynn visual rework. She still looks like her old splash, and her new splash, yeuch. Back when she was troll-pick material it made it twice as bad.
I'd like some new skins for Eve, the only skin I'd buy for her is the one that's been retired.
[QUOTE=Cructo;41515596]Well, in that case play draft and ban Udyr.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I resorted to that. Enemie's Udyr was always good and dominated lanes, our udyr was always bad and fed. I feel better now that I'm not dealing with them.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;41514776]Don't like the whole thing how riot has gimped all of the stealth champs besides like, shaco I guess.[/QUOTE]
They fucked Shaco real hard with his last nerfs, his slow is pretty much non-existent and combined with the blink range nerf he pretty much needs red or frozen mallet to do a decent gank. He can still counter jungle like a hero though.

The problem is just that extra stealth detection things is gone be retarded for champions like Akali/Talon/Twitch/Wukong while it may just be fine for Rengar and ...
I think we have pretty much proven with Old Rengar / Old-Old Eve and Post-Rework Eve that stealth assassins aren't fun to play against.
Also, You can't lose oracle when you die anymore,so the risk is pretty much non existent now.

His early level ganks might be slightly less retarded, but with the season 3 items he is much much stronger then he was in Season 2 past earlygame.
BRK / Static Shiv are both amazing on him.
Ohyeh, since most people rush brk anyway, you are gone have an extra slow early/mid game that wouldn't have in the past.

Ah, the good old trade bug.
Me and my friend forgot to trade so I ended up going Shen top with AP mid runes and masteries against a Vlad.
I got first blood and we won and it was ranked. This was ages ago though.
Happened quite a few times but this was a notable experience
[QUOTE=Tacooo;41512736]Who is the best/easiest ADC to learn the role with. I'm not new to the game I just hate that fucking role with a burning passion and would rather eat myself with my own asshole than play it. But I have to learn it.[/QUOTE]
Caitlyn.
Caitlyn is hilarious. Poke, poke, poke. Deny everyone farm and win lane.
On the way home from PAX AU, Riot had a big booth and it was hands down the most popular, lol. Didn't stay for too long cause it was fucking packed and I wanted to look at other shit too. Watchingd a bit of one of the Oceanic S3 semi finals though and got a lanyard that has champion art and Jungle on it thoigh.
Maybe I'll post my awful photos if anyone gives a shit.
Well I feel that Riot is limiting a lot of strategy you can do in this game by making everyone into a bruisers.
why was i rated dumb?
even riot themselves stated that stealth is too irritating to counter play (i think it was said during the eve and twitch rework) and so far with the new champions they only put stealth on ults which is fair enough

they also like to give every new champion a gap closer or escape ability

riot said it so it must be true
Its not even hard to counter stealth in this game, its like Rengar and Eve are the only gankers who are annoying because everyone wards with normal wards bar 1 or 2 places or to deward. People need to get used to warding for invis. Its not even that expensive, and you get it back in a few minions.
Like, just because its annoying to play against doesnt mean it should be removed and everyone made into a family friendly bruiser for long drawn out fights so nobody has an unfair advantage, I fear the day when they remove Zeds burst because "omg assasins are toxic can kill u without giving u time to react" which is pretty much what Riot is doing to Rengar right now
The only reason Leauge players find stealth so "toxic" is because its something that you for the majority of the time dont play against, so when it does happen nobody actually does much about it. Does anyone actually pink ward when there is a Rengar or eve in the game? If not then why are you complaining about something you could have prevented but decided a death was worth it because pink wards are "expensive"

Please do
If what you said is true, Riot is literally saying that it is irritating to change your strategy to counter something, you can fuck over stealth gankers like eve with pinks, because what does she have if she isnt getting surprise ganks off? Jack shit unless she farms, but she isnt cause she's jerking off trying to gank warded lanes. How is that irritating? Takes like one more thought process to think about. Riot is fucking retarded and I sometimes wonder if they play their own game. [spThey probarbly dont, and I remember some devs being silvers at one point, top teir[/sp]
I use pink wards when enemy team has a jungler with stealth.
I dunno why people just cant do that, they only cost like 50% more than a regular and you can even remove enemy wards with it
Well not that I think of it, this is probably why I keep feeling that LoL is becoming more and more boring : Every match is almost the same. People always plays with the same tactics, same team compositions and stuffs, while other kinds of gameplay mechanic that could change the match a little like steath or ambush ability keep getting nerfed / countered since everyone have escape ability nowadays.
Some LCS games you watch and they're just playing the same tried and true strategy. I love watching the NA LCS now because they're far more likely to change it up a little.

There's like three entry points to top/bot and 4 mid. I doubt you can ward them all.
On the fence with the stealth shit. I honestly don't want to judge now because everyone bitches about everything before it even comes out and in the end it usually turns out okay or actually good. I still remember everyone saying the S2 jungle changes were terrible and look how that turned out.

The OCE matches at PAX in all honesty were sorta boring, lol. They were playing so standard and it was like spectating a solo queue match with slightly more coordination. We left after like 20 minutes to queue up for something else because there wasn't anything too amazing going on.

every game is probably like that, after a while the matches will feel the same, its like that in every game
I cannot think of a multiplayer game, that has a rank system or competetive play, where the matches will always be different/new etc.
riot could make it more interesting by starting with making better choises regarding abilities and stuff, yeah.. like, not make every champ have a gapcloser, not nerf stealth, etc
[editline]19th July 2013[/editline]
teemo is a fun champion
I love how my recent matches have gone like this:
WW LL WW LL WW LL WW.
Udyr will probably fall back into the list of rarely played heroes soon, once the novelty of the skin has worn off and once people realize that the best way to avoid an udyr is just to walk away from him.
Most people that cosplayed at PAX AU cosplayed as a champ from LoL. Saw Caitlyn (she was pretty hot), Vlad, Ahri, Ezreal, Spellthief Lux, Heartseeker Vayne, Bilgewater Katarina, Shen, Darius, Janna, two Annies and a shirtless male Ahri.
