the only fruit i dont like is the bomb fruit. the sweep one and the heal one are great

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;51410304]the only fruit i dont like is the bomb fruit. the sweep one and the heal one are great[/QUOTE] bomb is like the greatest you can juke the fuck out of the enemy i managed to juke this shitsniffer shaco by letting him chase me over the fruit then dashing back so we'd fly in the opposite directions

ekko is my fav champ, played like 50 games with him since coming back to league. at first he didnt appeal to me at all until i got stomped by one. hes super fun but super gold reliant. full build ap ekko is great, full build tank ekko is great. currently trying to get rank 6, got the 2 tokens just need something to craft with it. never built zhonyas on him before and in the last game we were at a deadlock and i got caught which sparked the final fight, i tried to hit ult but somehow hit zhonyas instead. this lead to their team engaging and my team engaging. it looked like they were gonna win but i hit ult as soon as i came out and fucking decimated their team. [editline]22nd November 2016[/editline] i've found hextech belt highly essential, great starting item.

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;51410304]the only fruit i dont like is the bomb fruit.[/QUOTE] As the Tryndamere player I've become I find the bomb fruit/plant extremely useful for when I just dove the toplaner. Usually I end up sitting there behind the tower after spinning out and Q the last tower shot to avoid death. Then the jungler comes, but now I can just bomb fruit over the wall. [B]Success.[/B] [editline]22nd November 2016[/editline] In fact I really like the fruits/plants and I also like smite just heals from all camps now, makes all the not-so-good sustain junglers able to do good clears at last.

Am I the only one who believes shiv needs a nerf?

[QUOTE=Firecat;51411719]shiv doesnt need a nerf its just ie plus shiv synergy thats retarded[/QUOTE] vayne being able to 3 shot me is beyond retarded

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;51411925]vayne being able to 3 shot me is beyond retarded[/QUOTE] That's Q buffs, not Shiv. [editline]22nd November 2016[/editline] Pretty sure Shiv was getting nerfs the last time it was in the patch notes anyway.

Being a Shaco player is fucking misery right now. He went from having some of the strongest early pressure in the game to being absolutely pathetic until ~level 5 and even then being a shadow of his former self, and despite Riot claiming otherwise he's probably [i]even weaker[/i] in the late game now than he was before. Even AP Shaco (which I played fairly often before the update) feels way shittier to play now, most of the changes to his kit seem to imply that Riot wanted to heavy-handedly force him to change into a generic combo assassin rather than actually play like AP Shaco which just makes his playstyle way less intelligent and more predictable, defeating the entire appeal of playing AP Shaco in the first place. I guess he's somewhat better as a support now but why the fuck would anyone want to play support Shaco instead of literally anyone else?

shiv wouldnt be as good if there was more farm speed items for ranged carries [editline]22nd November 2016[/editline] and new shaco blows

Yeah that was a buff they gave to her during last season because she was in such a shit place, but with all the cheap ArPen builds going out the window she can hit 2 items at a similar time as other ADCs and she spikes like 2 items sooner than she used to, which is insane. Play Brand. Build Frostfang > Sightstone > Boots 2 > regular Brand core - Rylai's, etc.. At some point combine Frostfang and Sightstone for another slot. Congrats, you're not boring and you won't get reported for trolling. Personally I've been going for CDR boots for the earlier spike, but pen if you've got the money is still obviously a shit load better.

Nothing's as fun as hitting a loss streak and not getting your first win of the day bonus when you know you won't be able to get it tomorrow either.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51413237]Nothing's as fun as hitting a loss streak and not getting your first win of the day bonus when you know you won't be able to get it tomorrow either.[/QUOTE] Just fuck around in bots to cheer yourself up and get that easy 150. [editline]22nd November 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Firecat;51414423]i would buy brand but this is a new account and im on poverty ip status because you know runes and rune pages are fucking disgusting price wise[/QUOTE] They are, you're right. There's still some cheap champs that can support and not be Janna/Soraka level of mindnumb. Annie, Zilean, Morg, Poppy, Sion. Ali is free, and the E/passive change just gave him another stun for some reason. [editline]22nd November 2016[/editline] Even Veigar, shit. He isn't as ridiculous as he used to be before the E change, but his ult is an execute now and he gets AP for harassing.

so ive been playing full ap teemo, mushroom the enemy jungle and push all day build. i was against a kayle so i thought i'd try something different and go for swords build. holy fuck the heal on gunblade is insane.

so I officially played in all lanes now. Started trying out jungle as Jax for a couple of games and is actually not all that difficult once you get used to it. Early game is a pain but once you get that levelling train going and actually start suceeding ganks there's no stopping you. Also I really need to stop being so scared of dying. I miss so many oportunities because of this and makes getting a S rank so much more difficult.

You just need to know when you are allowed to die, the rule of thumb being, do not die stupidly or for free, even better if you don't die at all. Low elo players usually play so scared it's ridiculous.

I had one of the best games one time. I was pretty much mirror matching this one Jhin. Won the majority of the fights with him but ended up being lackluster since he actually played more agressively than I did and as result got WAY more kills. He wasn't afraid of going down with the enemy. I guess is stuff you need to get used to it.

If he's allowed to play very aggressively against you, it's usually dependent on support match up, support dictates the laning, still if your jungler isn't retarded he will gank for easy kills when they are pushed up under your tower.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51413237]Nothing's as fun as hitting a loss streak and not getting your first win of the day bonus when you know you won't be able to get it tomorrow either.[/QUOTE] Jump into the only game I'll be able to fit in today, end up laning against a legendarily shitty Riven that lets me steamroll the lane and they surrender at 20. Sometimes, the universe smiles upon you.

I find it funny how Tobito plays Ghost music and then plays Karthus, perfectly fitting.

just had an unranked level 30 veigar go mid and feed 0/12/0, this was his first game of ranked solo [url]http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=beverlytool[/url] what the fuck is this matchmaking the enemy team had 2 unranked, fair enough but both of them had been playing since S4 and hit gold/silver and i get this fucking chump going 0/12 and flaming

Eh whenever I see scores like that it usually means the person with the "pretty" k/d just played really passive and separate from the rest of the team which is just as bad as feeding honestly.

you should be an lcs analyst

[QUOTE=1chains1;51418844]Eh whenever I see scores like that it usually means the person with the "pretty" k/d just played really passive and separate from the rest of the team which is just as bad as feeding honestly.[/QUOTE] Saw people do it, done it myself even. But in this case here, Twitch's support also has a good score, that means the enemy bot lane was fed as shit and carried. why are people so shit at dodging GP's kegs? I'm not even using triple kegs most of the time, I even seem to kill players with single kegs.

[QUOTE=Louis;51418884]you should be an lcs analyst[/QUOTE] Woah down boy, you and I both know it happens in solo que all the time and it contributes to the loss all the quicker. Hell I didn't even accuse him explicitly of doing that, just from personal experience scores like that usually tell a story of a domino effect of bad decisions from ALL party members.

after playing some new rengar myself i can confirm this is broken as all hell

when they designed new rengar, what counterplay did they have in mind?

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;51421666]when they designed new rengar, what counterplay did they have in mind?[/QUOTE] well now you can see him a bit before he pentakills your team

dyrone looks super happy wearing that outfit [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30693265/Screens/Various/efwfehh.jpg[/img]

really i didn't know you played lulu
