[QUOTE=Blueridge;42027125]well not now but like later
maybe do the practice changes every balance patch, that way since you have to patch anyway you get new changes[/QUOTE]
I was gone edit that post but got distracted.
Yeh, you are right, yeh they should and probably could be doing things like that,
but i just think they don't have the money/time for it, or rather don't want to spend money/time on it.
You have to realize that for games like this, a map-editor doesn't exist. editing tools don't exist either.
When they started making this game, they never expected things to get like this.
Their whole codebase is orriented at getting the the first version out as quick a possible.
Like the game client runs on fucking adobe-air, and an unfitting public chat protocol.
And problems that seem rather simple like the minimap glitch and the game launching in the corner of the screen take years to fix.
Just imagine how long in their current situation it would take to implement the ability to do easy/quick map editing/testing/publishing if it takes them 2 years to fix a bug where the game launches off screen.
fucking shit why cant i win ranked anymore
even as nasus against a full AD team with thornmail, randuins, iceborn gauntlet and 460 stacks on Q

though that was probably because our trist would stand in the frontlines
not sure
Serious question here, outside laning phase I'm a solid player but inside the laning phase I'm kind of mediocre so here's the question:
Let's say the enemy champion is shitting on you, you can't duel him without losing the trade and whenever you go to last hit a minion, he has a way to get to you and do lots of damage (Gapclosers mostly) effectively removing a chunk of your health just so that you could get a minion kill and ontop of this, you're not safe under your tower because for some reason he has a way to end your life under your tower before you + your tower can hope to kill him.
What do you do in this situation? I'm asking because of that time I played Top as Vlad vs Jax, I tried to harass him and could CS alright but then as soon as he'd leap on me, even if I pooled, I was done, he'd eat up so much of my HP I'd have to recall or else he would just do it again at a later time and kill me even with my sustain.
Later in the game at level 6, all he had was stuff like daggers, bilgewater cutlass, basically the things that builds up into BOTRK and at this point I simply wasn't safe and couldn't even farm at my tower anymore. My attempts at farming at my tower in hope of not feeding him kills and still getting a bit of CS were met by him just leaping on my ass anyway, ending my life and getting out from under the tower with still well over 50% of his health left even though he had absolutely no defensive items.
I'm asking because this was a ranked match and it really disconcerted me, when you do bad in the laning phase, people tell you to farm under tower and play it safe and I was following this exact same advice but this time it simply didn't work, so I'm just wondering what I do when this doesn't work.

I had an easier time when a Riven countered me than when I played against this Jax.

no offense but idk how you managed to not have enough sustain as vlad against a jax in the first place
but if you fuck up in the laning phase, what you can do is simply hope the jungler ganks and buy defensive items i guess
I don't know either, I started cloth + 5 pots just to make sure but as soon as he got level 3, he could leap on me and end my life.
I had the stupid idea of trying to draw cho'gath and revamp his appearance a little bit to make him a bit more menacing and less silly.
It's harder than I thought.
How on earth did he lose less than 50% health from tower hits if he dived you from 100%?
At the very least pooling once he had aggro should lose him more than 50%.

Hence why I was especially disconcerted, I assume his ult helped and he was 9/21 so probably had some points in the reduced turret damage. I totally lost top lane because of this, I wasn't even safe under tower.
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;42028726]post results pls[/QUOTE]
It's not done yet, still adding details and defining lining better, because right now when I try to scan it most of the details fade out.
i tried a few doodles with that idea in mind too
the hardest part about it imo is making him menacing while still keeping the LoL artstyle
[editline]31st August 2013[/editline]
also he always ends up looking like a monster version of weaver :(
So far it's pretty much just a prettied up version of cho'gath with a more skull-like face, instead of the current gooey cartoony mess.
His current face is menacing, though. Have you seen that picture where Cho'gath is breaking apart a turret? I can't find it but you get the picture. It looked gnarly as shit.
The overly slim jaw and the round tongue that fills the whole mouth looks pretty stupid in my opinion.

Had to pump up the contrast a bit so the lines would be as black as they are in the real drawing.
Best jungler to carry soloq?
[QUOTE=Qeme;42029204]Best jungler to carry soloq?[/QUOTE]
hecarim and zac both have strong pre 6 ganks if you want to snowball lanes early. for late game sejuani's ult wins games. she's pretty strong all around, especially with liandry's and some cdr, your w will always be up.
[editline]31st August 2013[/editline]
have to mention elise too
[QUOTE=Qeme;42029204]Best jungler to carry soloq?[/QUOTE]
zac, sejuani, amumu, maybe nautilus?
nunu's still pretty good too if you can use his ~full potential~
Elise is pretty great tbh, and NOCTURNE.
[QUOTE=Zar;42029310]Elise is pretty great tbh, and NOCTURNE.[/QUOTE]
Nocturne isn't really good in solo queue, needs a lot of cooperation or else he's just a sitting duck.
A lot of champs needs your team to follow up properly, Pantheon, Nocturne, all those guys with ults that can catch guys that want to run off are pretty good for making stuff happen. But yeah, sometimes its better to pick champs that dont need as much help from teammates :/
my first ranked victory in this division
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rwV0avm.jpg[/IMG]
i lost twice in the last matches because of being forced into awkward roles but this one topped it off
it was a 4v5
the enemy team was sort of trolling but i am still happy
[QUOTE=Qeme;42029204]Best jungler to carry soloq?[/QUOTE]
Eve because "lol what are pink wards"
[QUOTE=Keychain;42029352]Nocturne isn't really good in solo queue, needs a lot of cooperation or else he's just a sitting duck.[/QUOTE]
bullshit, catching people out is the essence of soloq and nocturne does that perfectly
Claim: To carry from the jungle, you need high damage for lower elo and the further up you climb the ladder, more utility and tankiness.
Discuss?
I didn't move divisions much, so I'd like your opinions on that
dmg is always needed no matter division only play pure dmg like jax everywhere

both can carry well, it's all down to preference
but hypercarries/assassins have always been super easy to carry with in lower elo when smurfing etc, in my experience

Tanky junglers like Alistar, Maokai, Nautilus or Blitzcrank can do really damn well even if you're not that high in the ranks, but usually they need a bit more skill in comparison to carry-junglers when it comes to landing your spells correctly. But pure damage junglers won't work as well on higher ELO because people don't push too far most of the time, and they buy wards.
tanky junglers like blitz i see

ofc dmg is where its at but if you get beat too hard and do no damage you cry and suck
never happens vs scrubs tho but tanky people are best because never die and they dont take as many kills in ganks
warmogs jungle fizz is best no exceptions
very pro Cold build wish he was here to give me jungle tips again
