League of Legends v35 - Gangplank appreciation thread - Games

anyone notice nauts hook has strange behavior at max range? its like it desyncs you from the game for a second if you get caught by it.

[QUOTE=keda009;51677274]Aw man I've got almost 20 euros on Steam Wallet that I'd love to have as RP to spend on them sweet sweet skins. Also falling back in love with LeBlanc :chem101:[/QUOTE] I remember going to an esports event a few cities over and seeing two Prestigious LeBlanc cosplayers. Phwoar.

Having your support walk out of your passive range as kalista feels worse than lag spikes. I get that they don't want her to 1v5 but it was such a stupid nerf. Still having fun though now that spears can be perma-stacked.

after playing a bunch of different games before this its amazing how unrewarding league is i spent ~20 minutes in a match of aram and was rewarded with 33 ip. that's about 0.5% of one champion. meanwhile i can go to a game like smite, which is absolutely tiny in comparison, and pay $20 for all characters available and every single one to ever release in the future

I'm kinda sad how League has such a massive world but barely any of it is seen in the game. Would love some new maps.

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;51682364]I'm kinda sad how League has such a massive world but barely any of it is seen in the game. Would love some new maps.[/QUOTE] It'd be really nice if they designed a map for each major faction or locale in League, and they'd just cycle around with the current Summoner's Rift as the default. Something my friends have been saying since the Bilgewater ARAM event is that they desperately want that map back, and want more things like it. Seems really stupid they'd spend so much development time and money on something then just toss it aside.

it would have been nice if they released 2v2 magma chamber map [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXRFpbk3Xac[/media] even if it was just for custom games.

Yeah or the 1v1/2v2 map that they had for the 1v1/2v2 gamemode (which was just the aram map). It was fun as shit and I remember I had a tournament with my friends and it was a blast.

That's because they keep changing the game's core concept - laning and taking down towers. Twisted Treeline is still mildly popular for bored SR top laners that want to have a brawl every now and then - at least, that's the only reason I played it. Dominion was a flop because nobody liked the capping concept. A 5v5 or even 6v6 map that kept the same squareish map but changed the pathing, objectives and such would be a great experiment.

That big overview concept looks a lot like Smite's Conquest map honestly, although I didn't play it much.

[QUOTE=Rudevinny;51683673] I wish League of Legends in general had more maps with different gamemodes but that hasn't really worked out in the past. Dominion got canned after 4-5 years of being a bot haven and Twisted Treeline is probably going to share the same fate.[/QUOTE] twisted treeline would work so much better with a lot more gold income

speaking of which its thursday night in australia which means its time to subject myself to TT flex all night

Y'know I talk a lot of shit in this game but it's honestly impossible to keep my mouth shut when shit like this happens: [t]http://i.imgur.com/3DfgwzQ.png[/t] And I thought platinum was bad, getting my "smurf" (not really smurf anymore) to platinum like my main was is gonna be a lot harder than expected if this keeps happening. But hey, add me on EUW if anyone wants to duo. Only requirement is you must at least have an IQ of 10 thanks!

[QUOTE=Moofy;51694253]But hey, add me on EUW if anyone wants to duo. Only requirement is you [B]must at least have an IQ of 10 thanks![/B][/QUOTE] well shit there goes 97% of the whole league community

I play AP Jhin, AD Blitz, AD Naut and Sion. Do I pass? PS: I can also do sudokus

My friend can play Zed support starting with Spellthief's edge, but he was smurfing in high gold at the time, from diamond. He went 13/2.

Yeah, got back to 100 LP, time for a series. Pref pick Illaoi, support grabs it, goes 0/7. First. Fucking. Game.

I counter-cheesed a Cassi/Bard bot lane with Malz support. The Cassi was pretty bad though to be honest. I was clearing a ward near their T2 top that my control ward was disabling with my shield up, and she just walks straight to me like she's going to stomp me. I full combo'd her and got her down to like 10% HP and got her flash and heal. Like it's not like she facechecked me and I caught her offguard, which I did previously in bot lane when she was trying to clear my control ward and I got a full kill off, she saw me casually clearing the ward with most of my team sieging the tower right beside me and decided she definitely 100% was going to win that fight. [editline]19th January 2017[/editline] The best part of the bot lane was we were losing the level 2 race until I got some voidlings onto Cassi and they chased her all the way back to tower, which let Bard hit level 2 before us but then we got level 2 before the Cassi.

The farther I've gotten into gold, the more pure toxicity I've encountered. I've had more legit inters this season than the entire time I've played.

Bronze 1 EUW. And yes, climbing out of that has not been very fun.

Where are my freaking EARLY SALES !!!!!

[QUOTE=Firecat;51695527]If you get low plat and its better enjoy it because high plat and low diamond are by far the worst elos ive had the experience of playing with[/QUOTE] Yeah I've heard P1 is full of ragers who are mad they can't make diamond and D5 is full of elitist fucks that think they're better than everyone because they made diamond.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51695999]Yeah I've heard P1 is full of ragers who are mad they can't make diamond and D5 is full of elitist fucks that think they're better than everyone because they made diamond.[/QUOTE] D5 is also where all the boosted people land, so I'd say D5 is one of the worst elos to play in. I sit around there and my games have been absolute tripe lately.

every elo has it's own hell also what's with people stacking BF sword now

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;51697840]every elo has it's own hell also what's with people stacking BF sword now[/QUOTE] i tried to find a reason but it seems really dumb to stack bf swords. essence reaver cost the same as 2 bf swords, gives you 10 less ad but you get crit, cdr and mana heal. bt cost 100 gold more, 5 less ad but gives you 20% life steal and an over heal shield. ie cost the same as 2 bf swords gives 10 less ad, but gives you crit and crit damage. a bf sword is about 7% more gold efficient than a pickaxe and long sword, but the items they build into are are more cost efficient than a bf sword (except for the duskblade but its passives make it worth it on champs that use it).

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;51697840]every elo has it's own hell also what's with people stacking BF sword now[/QUOTE] It's an idea theorized on Summoner's School. The idea is most completed ADC items are only really good after 2 or more are built because they're all multipliers. So you sacrifice earlier multiplier spikes for more consistent damage spikes. I think the build I saw theorized was 3 BFs and a zeal + boots before you start finishing items. That's 120 AD for 3900, plus 50% AS for 2400. IE is 3600, most Zeal AS items are 2600. IE gives 70 AD, the Zeal items give varying amounts of AS - 30%, 35%, 40%, and 45%. So you end up with a slightly higher cost for significantly more AD and a little more AS. It makes your damage more consistent because it's not reliant on crits, at the cost of when your crits not being as impactful or plentiful midgame.

Buying bf swords when you go back to lane actually gives you legitimate power compared to buying stupid ass items like cloak of agility on a back to finish items with passive that aren't that useful. Buying BF Sword is min maxing damage over the cost of utility. Diamond Draven 1 trick Destiny has been doing it every game and it looks much more comfortable to use compared to his old BT rush build. If you wanna smack kids in the head, buy bf sword if you want to keep advancing toward the adc powerspike at 3/4 items, buy normal build items. There's a ton of math already on Reddit you can find with easy searches, but I haven't played adc in awhile so I can't say I have experience using it.
