League of Legends v35 - Gangplank appreciation thread - Games

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51521918]Garen is a bad choice, he gets bullied hard. Teemo entirely depends on how good you are; if you fuck up once the Darius will steamroll you. Illaoi is fine. Jax is a bad matchup but survivable if you play smart. You will lose your tower though. Olaf does tremendously into him. You lose level 1 and 2, but at 3 you win hard. I watched Dyrus win a level 1 all-in, back, come back into lane, they both hit level 3 and then the Olaf beat him by like half his health bar. Olaf won every all-in after that, Dyrus was having a rough time.[/QUOTE] I've won the Garen v Darius match up like 65% of the time personally but it's mostly about out playing the Darius I guess

[QUOTE=Moofy;51522376]Also late but a decent Irelia will also stomp a Darius simply because it's all about sticking onto him so he won't benefit from his heal. If you wanna see it happen find a replay of Wingsofdeath playing Irelia into Darius, he's pretty good on Irelia and tends to win lane quite heavily with her. Especially against Darius. Too bad he's a saltshaker generally tho[/QUOTE] I once jumped into wings's stream when he had 300 viewers at the start of his day, I said to him "hey wings play fuckboy Garen for me please, you'll make me happy" and he said "I'll see what I can do but I don't promise" so I watched him for a bit, 3 games later he plays Garen.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51522561]I've won the Garen v Darius match up like 65% of the time personally but it's mostly about out playing the Darius I guess[/QUOTE] Garen doesn't have the early game strength like he did before his E change. That coupled with Darius' passive keeping Garen's passive down longer means you put yourself at a disadvantage by picking into him unless you know the matchup really well. It's not unwinnable, but it's a hard lane. Darius hits level 2/3 and just auto wins all all-ins unless he becomes the villain somehow, especially in minion waves where Garen's E damage is reduced. There's apparently a new Q-max Garen build that plays a little differently that might fare better, but I haven't seen it in action so I don't know how it works exactly.

anyone on euw wanna play?

[QUOTE=Gorgus;51522546]I remember watching a relatively small streamer (15-20 viewers) playing against wingsofdeath When he beat wingsofdeath, wingsofdeath said on stream, that if anybody sees the streamer I just mentioned, they should just throw him under the bus and let him die. [B]On Stream[/B] I'm definitely not going to support someone like that by watching his stream.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Moofy;51522376]Too bad he's a saltshaker generally tho[/QUOTE] [editline]13th December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Grindigo;51522615]I once jumped into wings's stream when he had 300 viewers at the start of his day, I said to him "hey wings play fuckboy Garen for me please, you'll make me happy" and he said "I'll see what I can do but I don't promise" so I watched him for a bit, 3 games later he plays Garen.[/QUOTE] He doesn't take champ requests even though he says he doesn't care about climbing He just says it to mask the fact he's stuck in diamond without getting help to climb to masters by the end of the season

unless they changed it Teemo's auto range is only like 10 more than Darius hook range so a smart Darius is just going to wait for Teemo to try to auto him and get a free pull

When Akali and Yi decide to go at you and you're Illaoi with already 2 tentacles up in your vicinity. Melting health bars is fun.

When I think about Illaoi I think about how drunk Gangplank must have been to bang her.

Either that or Gangplank has a [I]weird[/I] taste in women. I'm not gonna judge. I mean, Nami, man...

Really enjoying watching Quas out of most streamers as of late, he's educational, his attitude is good, he's skillful, he explains his decision making, his macro play is really good, tends to pick bit more off-meta. Oh and his music isn't obnoxious.

I'd fuck illaoi you guys are pussies

The issue with Teemo into Darius is that most people don't play Teemo and unless you do some smart shit Teemo becomes entirely useless except for splitpushing while a smart Darius will just roll over your other lanes.

Poison procing thunderlords rn makes teemo good for chunking in lane

Teemo is a bag of shitty mechanics that are not fun to play against. He has a blind, a DoT applied with every auto, invisibility, and traps that do DoT and slow you. He's also ranged to boot, and usually goes against melee champs. He gets too strong or even commonly seen everyone is going to be annoyed because he is annoying as fuck to play against.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51525016]I'd fuck illaoi you guys are pussies[/QUOTE] I ain't touching someone who has a thing for tentacles. She would be into some weird shit.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51525217]Poison procing thunderlords rn makes teemo good for chunking in lane[/QUOTE] That's not intended, exploit it while you can. It procs DFT too.

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;51525784]"not fun to play against" but what IS fun to play against?[/QUOTE] What do you mean? I'm just saying Teemo is one of the least fun champs to face. If riot makes him viable enough people will always complain.

[QUOTE=WTF Nuke;51526030]What do you mean? I'm just saying Teemo is one of the least fun champs to face. If riot makes him viable enough people will always complain.[/QUOTE] complaining that "this champ isn't fun to lane against :(" means nothing when you can say that about literally every champion, it's a crappy argument to be honest laning against a riven is more cancerous since most people just take colossus and face roll you because a resourceless champion with a knock up, a stun, a dash, a shield that scales with AD and an ultimate that deals more damage the lower you are is guaranteed fun to lane against especially with a double bubble from colossus

But most people say it about Teemo. I'm not saying it's a great argument, but it's pretty evident that his skill set makes people angry. Plus, bad Rivens are a dime a dozen, but even a bad Teemo is going to keep poisoning you.

Any champion that denies you the laning phase is a shitty unfun matchup, any matchup where you can at least get to farm is fine, instead you are forced sit like a bitch under your tower and be threatened all the time and be denied, being tower dove in top lane is practically an instant loss for many champions too.

Is league not working for anyone else? like I can't play it. It shows up as unavaible for me.

[QUOTE=kattolil;51522166]Rather late but I've been destroying Darius's top with Sion. Start Dorans ring, whenever Darius tries to do shit you just E+Q him and spam laugh + mastery emote.[/QUOTE] i had a sion top in one of my games recently after a cahin of horrible afker games. when the jungle spawned i saw the announcement that he was executed by the wolves and i was ready to lose my shit before i realised it was a legit strategy to die to wolves and tp back to lane as sion.

illaoi is getting banned so im gangplank appreciating [IMG]http://puu.sh/sP4WK/4c3f98813b.jpg[/IMG]

is there anyone that legimately enjoys Vladimir? I tried him out once and he seems pretty boring.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51527192]illaoi is getting banned so im gangplank appreciating [IMG]http://puu.sh/sP4WK/4c3f98813b.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Not sure why people ban her so often because it's not that hard to counter her. In lane, it's a matter of positioning and in team fights, it's mostly not clumping up like retards.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51521983]As Illaoi, if you manage to punish Darius for his mistakes and get ahead a little, you can absolutely steamroll him, it's not even funny.[/QUOTE] Illaoi is a straight up bad champion if you are competent at the game. She's like Arnold in the "Kill me, Kill me I'm here!!" scene in Predator, except all game long.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51525016]I'd fuck illaoi you guys are pussies[/QUOTE] I mean you could, but... [IMG]http://www.arabbones.com/educations/Pelvis-fractures_files/image002.gif[/IMG] I'm just saying, there are reasons she's single.

Was p fun.
