[QUOTE=1chains1;49440246]Pretty much this, I am not saying trundle can;t be played as a support, but just because some pros can play him WITH OTHER HIGH ELO PEOPLE, doesn't mean it is going to work for climbing in low elos.[/QUOTE] Trundle is not being played by high elo players because he's difficult, he's being played by them because low elo players are idiots and figure he's a troll pick

Just realized why I have been losing a lot of games recently. All my mains are really shitty this patch. I gotta learn new champions if I wanna stay relevant like wtf

I've been playing around with him and personally feel he has a weak early clear, but his gank/counter-jungle game is hilariously strong if you go ignite instead of flash.

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49440524]Trundle is not being played by high elo players because he's difficult, he's being played by them because low elo players are idiots and figure he's a troll pick[/QUOTE] I never said he was difficult to play, I am trying to say lower elo players do not always play a large array of champions or possibly know how to work with a support trundle. As with any other combination team work is key and if they don't understand power spikes or when to take advantage of a situation while playing with a trundle it can be problematic. Also there is that toxic mentality of shooting yourself in the foot when someone picks something you don't like, all of it combined makes it obvious why he would have problems and why he shouldn't complain? But good job arguing your point when I practically agree with you lol edit - so just to clear up some points: - Yes trundle is freelo right now and is very strong - Yes it is viable to play him as a support - No I do not think it is smart to use him in low elo as a support when teamwork is key and players will not be comfortable with it and can cause problems. A team who doesn't want to work with each other will never win obviously.

there's a difference between louis saying "if you're gonna whine about climbing might as well play the best of the best" and you acting like trundle's pillar mechanics are just far too complicated

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49441363]there's a difference between louis saying "if you're gonna whine about climbing might as well play the best of the best" and you acting like trundle's pillar mechanics are just far too complicated[/QUOTE] Or I could be saying (oh wait I have) that low elo players do not play all champions or may not be willing to work with it. Trundle support is a selfish pick and will be considered as such in low elo and they probably wont be willing to work with it. I dont see anything inherently wrong with that statement so hop off zurki.

I just fought against a Malphite and I've got only one thing to say: no damage items triple kill

malphite is a fucking beast man, that ult is craZy

Gnar sometimes works but he's been tough to play this patch. Thresh is completely useless this patch. It's not exactly the champs being weak, it's just that the others benefit more from the state of the game.

i buy fiddle the day hes banned

Fiddle is fun when he isn't being cced to death. Like I only feel useful when I get in some unexpected ult any other time I feel like a piece of furniture stuck to the map that doesnt get much done. Been taking to rushing rylais after stalkers base item so at least they stay in range longer.

Jesus Renekton is clunky Would not reccomend

hey guys i just played free week renekton for probably the second time ever and i just wanna say you should not play him because i fed

renekton is so simple, how is he clunky in any way

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49447239]renekton is so simple, how is he clunky in any way[/QUOTE] he feels super slow i felt like a riven trying to animation cancel on 150 ping

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;49447505]he feels super slow i felt like a riven trying to animation cancel on 150 ping[/QUOTE] I think he feels pretty smooth. Someone like Yorick is clunky.

i want a champion based off jerry seinfeld

[QUOTE=Ziirxia;49447602]I think he feels pretty smooth. Someone like Yorick is clunky.[/QUOTE] Gotta try him again then, probably just the ánimations throwing me off

Well Renekton is not a high mobility champion like Riven, but he sure as hell will ruin your day no matter who you are in the toplane

Lol I play with 170 ping normally and it's fine. Today I reached 7522 ping, my new record.

170 ping only feels fine because youre used to it i thought the same about my 120 ping on EUW and now that i have 40 on NA i cant go back 170 ping is fucking atrocious

[QUOTE=Firecat;49449507]i cherish the games where im not playing against lee sin jungle and can actually experience league of legends[/QUOTE] it really does suck they added a mastery that is essentially a vayne W proc so many champs can utilize the mastery and utterly destroy while the ones who cant usually fall off. Lee sin was in a great spot, along with Rengar and other "jump in and kill u lel flashy~" champs, but adding another 200 damage onto their kit is stupid. Same happened with mid lane; I've tried to use mid laners recently and it is almost staggering how Ahri, Lux and other ranged champs can literally miss every single [b]skill[/b] on you and still somehow put enough damage out to 1000-0 you in a few seconds. Ahri particularly, she can miss her two most important spells and STILL do 600 damage with a rank 1 W and thunderlords. I thought it was funny since Katarinas rank 1 W deals 50 damage at level 7; meanwhile Ahris rank 1 W deals 400 at level 7.

I remember back in the day people tried to convince me that Lee Sin was the hardest champ in the game to play and master, then my first game I got 32 kills.

I'm a shit lee all I do is insec [editline]4th January 2016[/editline] I've had people calling me out on it but idk what to do except ganking and insecing isnt that what he does??

The only thing to do on lee sin is Insec or steal kills with that 8%
