League of Legends v35 - Gangplank appreciation thread - Games

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49143819]you learn nothing against bots. just keep playing the game normally, develop some map awareness and get used to how much damage your champions can deal, how much they can take, the range of your skills, etc. eventually it just becomes natural also, if you're just starting out, look up the champions you can get for free. i think that liking riot on FB, following them on twitter and subscribing to their YT gets you tristana, garen and alistar[/QUOTE] ive actually been very lucky my friends were nice enough to gift me a bunch of random characters. Would you guys recommend playing olaf in jungle/top till i can afford Renekton

post who you have and who you enjoy and we can give you some advice

at the bottom right is my top champions and in progress. [t]http://i.imgur.com/rsoePmV.jpg[/t] My favourite characters to play and that i usually do best on are Braum Thresh Yasuo, i really enjoy landing hooks or Braum Q. Dashing around minion creeps and blocking abilities with windwall are my favourite parts about Yasuo. My second favourite role is adc Tristana Vayne and miss fortune are my favourites in that role. in jungle i pretty much exclusively play VI but if i had Lee sin i think i would prefer him. In mid i either play Zed or ahri depending whats needed, i played alot of annie early because it was the easiest character to pick up after mostly playing support and not CS'ing. My summoner name is Bushimick in EUW if you want to check my match history

i mean people play yasuo top a lot but if you're looking for easy/tanky top laners then malphite, garen, darius, and olaf all fit that bill

Protips for dodging skillshots? I've learnt that when I really wanna dodge all I have to do is to look at the champions angle at first for a quick calculation, then looking at the projectile to try to determine where exactly it's coming. It's really fucking exhausting to do this and it takes a lot of energy to do so, that's why I need something else

Learn the champions so you know their combos and when they are likely to pop their shit, like for example when youre running towards tower and you see a lee on your tail you know he will try to initiate with his q most likely and can adjust.

almost everyone has a preferred direction to dodge, though, so if you see them do it you can try and outplay their mind and make them dodge into it, which is always hilarious

My ADC Won't upgrade their trinkets to the Blue Alteration like every ADC, even when i ask them I'm the only player in my 4 matches to Alternate my trinket

I know all kits I play against and I know what they want to do, but we're talking about directions and stuff here. It's like when I play osu, if I focus as balls on the circles I get better accuracy and speed. But League has a different depth so it doesn't seem like it's that easy [editline]19th November 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=TraxInfo;49145718]My ADC Won't upgrade their trinkets to the Blue Alteration like every ADC, even when i ask them I'm the only player in my 4 matches to Alternate my trinket[/QUOTE] Blue is good but situational. If I have map control I prefer to use blue, but if not yellow all the way [editline]19th November 2015[/editline] What's the changes in this patch? Except for the fact that there's no more Jinx in the login screen

Buffed kogmaws attack speed

Ez mode farming, teaches you patience regarding holding your E for a stun as opposed to a slow, etc. There's a lot to learn when playing Irelia, but is very rewarding when mastered.

If Blitz just missed his hook on you, you know you've got about 18 seconds to disrespect him a bit and concentrate maybe more on harassing their ADC, for instance. It helps to have one less thing to think about. For actually dodging skillshots in a mechanical sense, try varying it up. I know you're about the same as me, low-mid Plat, so at this level I try to think about sometimes dodging straight perpendicularly, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes I just backpedal. If you keep yourself unpredictable, that's the best way to ruin an opponent's read on you.

the downside is that if you play irelia you are automatically a cunt regardless of if you stop playing her or only play her once

Can xin get banned forever hes so broken

all parts of it are crazy xin w + rageblade + gunblade [editline]19th November 2015[/editline] you basically cant make good on-hit AP items because xin zhao and kayle will just abuse the fuck out of it

i'd rather have neither, actually

Lol jesus christ, it's like everyone builds guinsoo and gunblade at this point. Had the fun of playing against a Sej, Kayle and Nautilus with Kayle and Naut both having guinsoo, it was just a nightmare.

try a rageblade on teemo, it's hilarious and total garbage it's great on voli, too.
