League of Legends v35 - Gangplank appreciation thread - Games

Imagine winning an all-in so hard you're both at ~75% HP and the enemy ADC is past their tower recalling with like 30 HP. Imagine their support is still in the bush by their tower and you can easily get either a kill or their flash. Imagine your ADC instead deciding to flash into tower for the last auto, the auto getting Healed, them getting knocked up by the support and eating 2 tower shots and some return damage from the ADC, then getting chased down by the support and killed. Imagine that ADC now returning to lane Kircheis Shard vs BF. Imagine playing Nautilus as that ADC's support and now being completely useless because your ADC hasn't looked at itemization since pre-season. [editline]22nd August 2016[/editline] I mean that wasn't the only thing that went wrong that game, but that literally threw the entire lane for us by itself.

BAKER PANTHEON IS A THING! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWZVaQQwa68[/media] I DON'T EVEN PLAY HIM AND THIS MAKES ME HAPPY!

nami is increasingly becoming my least favorite support to lane against, every time I try to go in I get bubbled + shredded

[QUOTE=SonicHitman;50934788]i can't stand her as a support she's mana hungry, heals little, skillshots usually miss, etc there's stuff she does that other supports can already do better.[/QUOTE] It's funny cause my main is nami (360k cp), and I fully agree - she is a completely useless champion. Alistar has better CC, Leona has better CC, You could take Annie support and she'd have better CC.. .. but I fucking love building speed items on Nami, then just flying around throwing bubbles everywhere. :excited: She's like the teemo of supports.

Really don't like Yorick's new design tbh.

Blind pick is so weird. Just this week, I've seen two top lane AD Sorakas. Both times, the team they were on won. So I went top lane AD Soraka just as a joke to see how it feels. We won that game. :v:

playing adc is the least fun ive ever had

He even got jumped going through jungle at level 1 and blew his flash before laning begin and still was up multiple kills in lane.

Idk seems like itll play pretty similarly to tentacle hoe.

speaking of tentacle hoe played her for the first time yesterday and wowweeeeeee I think I've found a new go-to champ

[QUOTE=1chains1;50948370]Idk seems like itll play pretty similarly to tentacle hoe.[/QUOTE] nah yorick will have much less of a presence in a teamfight i feel im sure hes just gonna be a split pusher only really the perfect hashinshin champ

I thought zzrot was pretty meta on illaoi? But yea he might not have the same teamfight presence but the laning will be comparable at least.

Can someone explain the term "hashinshin" to me? I've been seeing it around recently and don't know what it means.

I've been seeing it around recently and don't know what it means.[/QUOTE] hes a top lane player in master/d1 that is known for only splitpushing and dueling. hes wins lanes by all inning super early and playing only duelist champs like jax. he generally wont leave his lane and keep splitpushing, just taking duels over and over until he wins the game. hes very mechanically skilled but isnt that good at top lane as a role for the team, just good at beating down dudes he also is quite a baby when it comes to getting beaten, and especially whines when camped [video=youtube;OwZA-RZI2wU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwZA-RZI2wU[/video]

I fucking love hashinshin, he's just off in his own little world.

Bottom lane is down to inhibitor at 15 minutes (due to a shit ADC and him having network problems), Kalista proudly boasting about going 5-1 with 500ms ping while Cait was 13/3. Later on, 2 inhibitors down with all of their towers still standing, I call a surrender vote, it fails. I ask why they still wanna keep going. 'Look at IM. They came back from 13k disadvantage and won series 2-3'

This is one of the reason why I stopped playing LoL, too much room to fuck up, not enough room to have fun, matches are too long, laning phase is stupid as fuck, farming is boring, same old shit strats, too many kids raging, too many egos, one map, summoner spells suck balls, not enough action, any aggression punishes players too easily. Rito releases skins and champions to keep people hooked up but their game is just hollow.

One of the things that irks me most about League is that flash is mandatory on pretty much all but three champions out of 100+ (Shaco, Singed and Hecarim are the main ones that spring to mind). I think flash might actually be [I]too[/I] good of a summoner spell, and it kind of kills tactical diversity. Need to get away from something? Flash. Need to get closer to something? Flash. Over a wall? Flash. Gank at an unexpected angle? Flash. Flash-stun, Flash-Ult, etc. The summoner spells boil down to "Pick flash and one other spell of your choice", because there's only a few cases where it isn't optimal; being Shaco (who has Flash on an 8 second cd with his Q), and Singed and Hecarim, who benefit so strongly from ghost that they can't afford to take flash. I just feel like flash is in a very weird spot balance-wise, but I can't think of any way to change that without breaking some other aspect of the game.

I switched back to league from dota like 4-5 months ago and one of the most jarring differences between the two to me was the summoner spells exhaust is some real bullshit

The biggest counter to assassins in this game is exhaust lel, you just have to have a support with a brain to use it, kek, that sure will happen but it's league, players are pretty bad.

Back and forth, back and forth.
