[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;50269115]Bought [b]Warwick[/b] and played a game with him. Yeesh, I thought Dota's Enchantress jungling was easy mode...[/QUOTE] That's a funny way of spelling Shyvana

You know, getting chests through S ranks wouldn't be such an issue if grading didn't feel so completely arbitrary. somehow a 9/2/0 Thresh gets an S- while a 9/0/3 Annie gets A+.

And going 9/2 as Thresh is going way over average on the kills

[QUOTE=SiberysTranq;50275002]I am pretty sure warding is an immense part of it because I've been getting S's on my supports a lot more consistently than on most other champs[/QUOTE] Warding, CS and participation are the ones I focus on the most if I'm going for an S rank.

[QUOTE=Firecat;50277255]and now Teemo looks fucking blazed out of his mind[/QUOTE] Appropriate choice of words, considering your summoner name.

Yeah I was in a game and the enemy team had Frostfire Annie which was hilariously out of place with her super anime style art and on the same team they had Safari Caitlyn which was also hilariously out of place with her almost photorealistic face on the splash art.

LoL's style was established by a bunch of guys that weren't profesional artists and they really made wahtever they liked from animes and other things, so it is fucked up to the core. Someday maybe they will fix it and make it coherent, but I highly doubt so

LoL has always had a mashup of styles with its splash arts, its pretty silly. Not sure why we needed to have different splash for different regions anyway?

[QUOTE=Louis;50280003]LoL has always had a mashup of styles with its splash arts, its pretty silly.

They did the same thing with SMITE, replacing the skin cards with their own artwork in the Chinese version. Some of them made it to the international version too (though a good chunk of them got reverted/replaced because people didn't like them).

[QUOTE=Louis;50280003]LoL has always had a mashup of styles with its splash arts, its pretty silly.

Problem is, the Chinese ones are completely different. Look at the new Sivir ones for example, and compare them to the new Trundle ones are made by Riot.

The Chinese splashes look like stickers you'd get from the $.50 vending machines at grocery stores.

I've spent ~50 euros on Lanes/Champions I actually don't like at all but kept on forcing because I've invested so much. I don't know what to do now.

But the older splashes actually kind of fitted even if they were a bit outdated, these ones just have a huge dissonance with the rest of the splashes you see in the loading screen.

[QUOTE=Heigou;50282600]But the older splashes actually kind of fitted even if they were a bit outdated, these ones just have a huge dissonance with the rest of the splashes you see in the loading screen.[/QUOTE] Yeah its just Riots art department choice on that matter, changes were probably made with regard to their new censoring of blood, skeletons and cigars too which most Chinese splashes would already have removed.

after 5 years playing this game i finally got around to buying another rune page

new tristana splashes for her older skins [t]https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6MdQ00NgKpw/VzDm4MjSYHI/AAAAAAAAOv4/heMXw-oXWl4x6ukizD2WL-lnKT77VAgRwCKgB/s1600/Tristana_Splash_1.jpg[/t] [t]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qpVh5MlItck/VzDm4FC6roI/AAAAAAAAOv8/stbNzyXNUKU59RgXTLnU-WD8qzTDh4G9ACKgB/s1600/Tristana_Splash_2.jpg[/t] [t]https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zBTlHPP3Ces/VzDm4WgeC7I/AAAAAAAAOwA/7Aisik7Haucct0UtcEUsPBnAPu-jc9GjACKgB/s1600/Tristana_Splash_3.jpg[/t] [t]https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q3OeQd7MBc4/VzDm4lr0ehI/AAAAAAAAOwI/6fDIqmK5IlQAzM17b9HK0D71-C2e7qeRACKgB/s1600/Tristana_Splash_4.jpg[/t] [t]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MD06g8ukQ6U/VzDm4-cw3HI/AAAAAAAAOwM/chzD7prXr4osSJSSOgZLhTYxUZrsfSHxACKgB/s1600/Tristana_Splash_5.jpg[/t] looks real nice, on par with the trundle splashes since I'm pretty sure they had the same group work on them. this sort of shit was what I was hoping for with the globalized splash update rather than a pick'n'mix from the chinese art.

omfg that's adorable

Well, she [I]is[/I] a yordle. That's kind of their thing.

I haven't liked most of the "new" splashes they've been putting out (not the Chinese ones) but those are pretty good.

Number one pet peeve when supporting is definitely still proccing the health line passive. I don't know why but almost all of the adcs I play with (and most players in general) are so against me proccing the heal+gold passive. They'll actively try to last hit before I can proc for some reason I do'nt get why

Personally what I can't stand is not understanding when to just fucking run. That fed Aatrox is not going to give a single iota of fucks about your underfed ass trying to melee him, Varus. I'm Alistar and my ult is up. If he's hitting me, he's not looking at you. Let me do my fucking job and keep you alive with my giant meat body, stop trying to "save" me. The towers are literally right there. [editline]10th May 2016[/editline] The other one that kills me is when someone sees their teammate just get demolished by 4 people, but he got someone low so they have to go blind into the jungle where their buddy just died to try and secure the kill. What the fuck even is that, why is that a decision that gets made.

Me and my friend were near, but we were low on health and mana. Garen gets destroyed because he's retarded and thinks he can dive a fed team. He then berates us for not saving him. Then, during a teamfight when he can ult the Vayne to save my friend's life, the Garen just runs away. We ask him why he didn't ult. "Blood for blood." We lost because we couldn't stop laughing. Also, what is the best build on Gangplank atm? I usually go for Trinity Force, Statikk Shiv, Infinity Edge, Sterak's Gage and CDR boots.

So need some pro-tips here. I mostly play adc. I have had 2 games recently where my support just never joins game or, per last game, shows up at 35 minutes then feeds enemy team. What are some tips for being alone bot?

Especially if you're on the fun-filled tri-bush side. It's difficult to farm alone even with a line of escape.

Jesus I just fought like 20 Lucians in a row every fucking game bot lane. This is the most boring shit ever why not play a differnet champ for christ sakes hes not even fun to lane against

But he's fun to lane as
