[QUOTE=Insane516;49768730][IMG]http://images.devs-on.net/Image/JnobDrgMkPGe6rXS-Region.png[/IMG] somehow we lost this game[/QUOTE] why'd you build titanic hydra if you went on a non tank build? doesn't make sense

How does one participate in only 10 out of 81 kills?

[QUOTE=kidkiller745;49772339]How does one participate in only 10 out of 81 kills?[/QUOTE] By being trash and farming all game

[QUOTE=Adeptus;49771666]why'd you build titanic hydra if you went on a non tank build? doesn't make sense[/QUOTE] Titanic Hydra would do more damage then a regular hydra and offers stronger wave-clear. Not only that, he probably went Phoenix judging by the build path - so the life-steal isn't as important. You have to kind of consider the base health Udyr has as a champion, and then add in the health that Titanic Hydra + Triforce give. He gets near 3,000 HP which isn't bad for Titanic. [QUOTE=Hammernipples;49726935][IMG]http://puu.sh/n5a39/0d7674b512.png[/IMG] These 'buffs' confuse me[/QUOTE] Also out of boredom, I browsed like 3 pages back. I just wanted to say that the reason why they probably aren't making many changes to Jhin is because he's too new. People are still getting used to him. There have been so many times Riot has over-buffed new champions because they were thought to be weak. Then suddenly people discover how to play the damn champ and everyone's crying about how fucking stupid Riot is as balancing. It's a lose/lose situation. As far as I know he's still getting played in high elo, and he's already been played at least once in the LCS unlike Illaoi. Give it another month and you'll probably see some real tweaks.

So fucking bored of thresh/vayne lanes

I got a Graves jungle on my team this match. ... I'm loving my return to League every day.

[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;49779394]I got a Graves jungle on my team this match. ... I'm loving my return to League every day.[/QUOTE] Graves jungle is very strong right now.

ya maybe you stopped playing when graves was just yet another adc, but he's pretty much a ranged tanky dps atm

[QUOTE=Blind Lulu;49779424]That's actually extremely broken though... Like Graves jungle is the reason he is currently permabanned in ranked.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Spacewolf;49779446]Graves jungle is very strong right now.[/QUOTE] Seriously? Man, League really has changed last I played it.

Graves can be played Top and Jungle nowadays. In fact I'd argue the current meta is very good for most ADCs You could technically go a team like Kog bot, Jhin/Varus mid, Quinn/Graves Jungle, Quinn/Graves top and it would still be a legit team that's not really "off" meta per se.

I would not play Jhin ever, Varus is fairly off meta, and Quinn also works well midlane too.

[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;49779542]Seriously? Man, League really has changed last I played it.[/QUOTE] they overhauled the 'juggernauts' (garen, darius, skarner and mordekaiser) and a bunch of adcs (they changed them all but mostly mf, corki, graves, kog and quinn) [url]http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/site/2016-season-update/preseason.html[/url] here's an overview of the season 6 (?) changes should probably read up on it, some pretty big stuff there. corki now has a rumble ult on his W every few minutes and kog can hit 5.0 attack speed [editline]20th February 2016[/editline] and baron has a little brother

he's way better at supporting carries from another lane - like, insanely better - than carrying games himself

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49780398]he's way better at supporting carries from another lane - like, insanely better - than carrying games himself[/QUOTE] Yeah, [BRONZE KNOWLEDGE INCOMING], due to his reload mechanic he can't dish out pain at a constant pace. He excells at sniping during teamfights and popping squishies with his 4th hit. You see the same happening with Graves. As a jungler he can pop out of thin fucking air, bust some people with 2 shots, dash to safety or dash, pop 2 more and die.

so after some time playing ranked I've managed to climb from Bronze 3 to Bronze 1 with this sick 10-win streak [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1uL0uTA.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WmcyVwy.png[/IMG] god is real

well i hope you enjoye that win streak because it's going to last until silver promos and then you'll lose every game you'll ever play from there

11/10 yepppp

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;49786808]11/10 yepppp[/QUOTE] even if I die 10 times it takes literally no effort to destroy the enemy once you've got some kills up

You don't even need to go mad deeps like you do. I'm quite sure most get Shiv -> IE -> BT and then you go something like steraks, maw, omen or something defensive. If you really need the last whisper, sure get it. Your ult gives you 50% armor pen though, not a big need if you play it correctly.

People laugh at me when I go ez with grasp, ls quints and start cull. Then they realize the grasp procs on his q.

karthus q is broke in passive lets you cast outside of range and shows little q circle but casts at edge also karthus is fun

[QUOTE=1chains1;49789557]People laugh at me when I go ez with grasp, ls quints and start cull. Then they realize the grasp procs on his q.[/QUOTE] no offense but its still trash how do you even consider doing real damage until late in the game?

Because there's usually another adc on the team, I like it because it lets me sustain while farming tear and lets me stay in lane longer to get to manamune quicker so farming those stacks is easier. edit - I mean sure I could go thunderlords like every one else, but I prefer to try and mess around with different stuff even if it fails miserably. I have played this game since season 2 and have played a total of 3 ranked games, I prefer the environment and freedom of normals. People are generally more open to take risks and try new things in the mode. I like league because it offers a huge variety in all the different ways people can build and create, and sadly most of it is kind of dismissed for whatever is strongest. Which of course makes sense in a strategy game as you want to win, but I personally find it more fun trying to make a less efficient build work. Like another dumb thing I will do is jungle karthus and go cinderhulk/rylais/thornmail/boots of swiftness/abyssal/liandrys with the burning keystone. It doesn't deal nearly as much damage as a regular build, it becomes way more useless after I die compared to the regular build, but I still find it pretty fun because I get to make a build focused more on his e and aoe rather than his q. Doing different things like that lets the game stay fresh and also takes the stressful edge off it if you lose because in the end you're just trying to have fun and try something new

You go fervor on Ezreal now not thunderlords if you want to be completely optimal I doubt you have more ADC's on your team, you're talking about graves/quinn top/jungle? That's not an ADC, not anymore. I really would like to know where you have an extra ADC that makes you think you should go grasp of the undying on Ezreal with LS. I don't know man do what works for you but don't get salty in chat if people get angry at you or something because I could perfectly see why they would, if I was in my promos or something and you did that I would probably question what the fuck was going on myself :v:

Well as I explicitly stated above, I don't do ranked for that very reason that i dont want to mess with people's promos and as said if I am aiming to try something new and have fun, I don't get salty at people complaining. And on the subject of having other adcs on the team, graves, quinn, varus, and any other ranged ad that is played in other lanes can still deal enough damage with mine combined even if they're not considered (or played) as traditional adcs anymore. I do grasp/ls runes/cull start to make it a farm lane, so I can get to my full, weird build I want to try out. Since my q uses the lifesteal, it allows pretty safe farming/sustain depending on my support. Though I do get annoyed at leavers and people who effectively shoot their team in the foot on the basis of "you're not building the most optimal way therefore it wont work and ill prove it by messing it up in any way possible/refusing to work with said person." I don't play the game to cookie cutter and be optimal I play because as stated above, I like trying out interesting things as that is what makes the game enjoyable for me.

ah sorry missed the normal part, guess its okay then people have different ideas on what normals are for. some of my friends use it as a practice ground, while others think its a goofball of who can win with the stupidest build

my movement speed taric works wonders in normals

It actually baffles me how there are people who just want to try out stupid builds and lose the game for the sake of " its different!!" when you know its a suboptimal build and you probly lost anyway, does it fill you with glee to do less damage and die faster than if you played the game properly and didnt waste everyone else's time. I know people like this in both LoL and Dota and im just trying to get an insiders opinion on why people feel the need to be different for the sake of being different. [editline]22nd February 2016[/editline] Like I aint talkin about mixing up your build and starting with Cull or some shit on adc and then building some AD items (still sucks most of the time) im talking "im gonna go riven ap XD so troll >_>" "rofl watch me go full tank ezreal"

Most of the "weird" builds problem is not the build, but the guy playing. They tend to forget that doing different items doesn't mean "engaging all day alone", "not warding or checking anything", "farming all day and night", etc etc. They just disconnect from the general game just to achieve the rofling build. That's why most "weird" builds don't work, people play "weird" games with them, instead of just keeping cool.
