Aren't they mostly Ukrainian?

[QUOTE=Rudevinny;51165026]Yeah but I'm just calling them Russian seeing as that's the region they're playing in.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but since they're Ukrainian in makes more sense. I mean sure there was M5, but Ukrainians are basically from another world. [editline]7th October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Blind Lulu;51165726]I went ahead and made a custom chroma for Star Guardian Lulu [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ6RnjYTyDo[/media][/QUOTE] That looks a lot better than the normal one. I was actually a little disappointed when it was revealed. I just got to a comfortable position on her and I was really hoping it was going to be an awesome skin I could pick up for her, but it just kinda fell flat. It's good to see even the Lulu mains spam her laugh at the enemy team. Feels like I'm that much closer to mastering her.

When both their midlaner and jungler are incompetent. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Brnhs6D.png[/img] God, it feels good to be on the giving end of a stomp.

When you're so far ahead as Ziggs you buy a fucking Lich Bane. That's just disgusting.

Wait, are you not supposed to? I practically rush Lich Bane on Ziggs, he devours turrets with it. It's usually about my 2nd-3rd item.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51178222]When you're so far ahead as Ziggs you buy a fucking Lich Bane. That's just disgusting.[/QUOTE] 'So far ahead'? I buy Lich Bane on him all the time. He profits from it in so many ways, it's digusting NOT to buy it. [editline]9th October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Mayor Luigi;51178350]I practically rush Lich Bane on Ziggs, he devours turrets with it.[/QUOTE] Implying Ziggs doesn't already devour turrets.

It's the same reason you don't buy it on Lux. Early game abusing your passive is how you trade in lane and secure CS. Late game you don't want to be close enough for it to be useful. Lux just has the benefit of her ult igniting her passive [editline]9th October 2016[/editline] Unless you're playing in a game that nobody knows how to punish positioning, but then you could play full AD Ziggs and still carry.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51178414]'So far ahead'? I buy Lich Bane on him all the time. He profits from it in so many ways, it's digusting NOT to buy it.[/QUOTE] You should not consider Lichbane as a core item on Ziggs, it's strong but not a must. Morelle + Ludens is usually what Ziggs wants real bad, try it out big time and get used to it. You will 100% benefit a lot more from it.

Morello, Zhonya's, Deathcap, these are items I generally get before Lich Bane, depending on the situation.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51182450]Don't be mistaken, I generally get it a bit later. Morello, Zhonya's, Deathcap, these are items I generally get before Lich Bane, depending on the situation.[/QUOTE] It still doesn't change the fact you consider Lichbane core since you [B]always[/B] get it as you said. Lichbane is a super situational if not a "do not buy unless you're so far ahead it won't matter". I don't get why you wouldn't want a Ludens second as Ziggs, I really do not know. (Unless of course you need defensive stats, but that 20/2 game you could easily have gone for it second and smacked people around.) [editline]10th October 2016[/editline] I do not promote that you copy builds from websites, [URL="http://champion.gg/champion/Ziggs"]but this is just for reference of highest win in plat+ games[/URL]. Everything is situational, copying this build wont win you games for certain obviously.

You know, I might have to revise my statement of Caitlyn/Morgana being the most unfun lane. Because I just faced a Caitlyn/Brand lane and ooh boy. It just shits damage and punishes you for having the audacity to try to farm. Also, weird how the above link doesn't have Yasuo listed as mid counter for Ziggs because just about every part of his kit shits all over the furry little maniac. Unless Yasuo is solely played top in plat+?

How do you not tilt from solo queue?

[QUOTE=Kingbob387;51184799]How do you not tilt from solo queue?[/QUOTE] Repeat "it's a video game" to yourself while kneeling in a blood pentagram surrounded by candles.

[QUOTE=Kingbob387;51184799]How do you not tilt from solo queue?[/QUOTE] You don't. You either take a break or play through the tilt. Even pros get tilted.

Speaking of tilt, holy shit was the last game I was in frustrating. Their team consisted of: Riven top, Ivern jg, Orianna mid (with barrier), Lux supp, and Yasuo adc. EVERYTHING ON THEIR TEAM HAD A SHIELD. We literally couldn't touch them, and when their shields were on cooldown, they just cc'd us in place. It was just soul crushing, and makes me wish there was an item that lets your damage partly ignore shields, like how armor pen works.

Mmmh I think most tilting games are the ones where you try to talk to your teammates and they flame the shit out of you I love those Note to self don't type in chat ever again

My client seems to be under the impression that all champions are free this week: [t]http://i.imgur.com/sXMt06v.jpg[/t]

ive been playing again for a couple weeks with friends after a nearly 2 year hiatus. im ready to jump back into soloq [editline]11th October 2016[/editline] already got the challenger queue times, i got a good feeling about this

League is pretty great, looking forward to the Replay feature coming up. Maybe I can get out of Bronze 5 0 LP next season. Anyone else ready for SKT Three time world champions? I am actually really hype for the matches, analysts think the matches will be stomps in the direction of Korea. But I never doubt Uzi and I really don't think EDG is going to do badly in a BO against a faltering ROX Tigers. I am really excited and anyways, EU might get another semifinalists compared to NA who well went out of groups. Also, I'm super excited that Riot have loosen up their casters. Looking forward to Summoning Insight with Zirene tonight!

C9 made it out of groups. NA dream still alive. I'm cheering for ANX though. I have to be realistic. [editline]11th October 2016[/editline] It actually hurts to say that because I do like C9.

what the fuck vlad is a monster what did they do to him

Goddamn, the cleavage on Bewitching Morgana is fucking real.

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;51191965]what the fuck vlad is a monster what did they do to him[/QUOTE] He's actually been getting nerfs. You think he's strong now, you should've seen him several patches ago when he was p/b status even in solo queue.

I must say its' not that bad if Samsung wins, Crown came from Brazil and CoreJJ was stuck in American hell. It'd be a hell of a storyline from being the team that shouldn't win. I mean, I am just hype for the potential SKT vs EDG or SKT vs ROX Tigers. Especially the second one, maybe ROX can finally beat SKT and get over their psychological barrier. I've always been a Samsung kid since the great Samsung KHANs last breath was drawn. So, I really do hope Samsung makes it to the finals and make the upset win over potentially SKT or ROX.

Welcome to preseason folks. If you've never been here before, you're in for a real treat. Also prepare for at least 1 champion to be mindbogglingly broken somehow. Expect it after the assassin update, but don't be too surprised if it happens early. Preseason is where they spaghetti method their balance.

I'm gonna give the RNG Fruit a fair chance so i'm not going to say much on them just yet, but will instead talk a bit about Nasus. I kind of hope they do a bit more with the Nasus changes and make his E do physical damage instead. It'd made Black Clever worth picking up on him which would in turn make him less than worthless against other tanks. Also means he could get the phage speedup from range which would help make him a bit less kiteable, though his laning would still be totally subpar, as it is now. As it stands though, the changes to his ulti on the PBE are in the right direction but I don't think they'll be enough on their own because they don't really solve any of the champion's issues, laning phase non-withstanding.

They needs to downtune the jungle role not give it more options and what seems to be increased power lol Its already the most important role in the game

placements done: 7-3, gold 3 not bad only dropped down a whole 5 divisions since i last played

I miss team builder. It was nice, despite the slightly longer wait times, since you didn't have to worry about that so-called 50-50 chance of playing a lane you really weren't interested in. It was nice having a guarantee that you get the exact lane and champion you want, without risk of them being banned. It was nice not having people insta-lock a lane that was already called, and then having them go 0/7 while you play support to cover for them with a champ that has no business playing support. It was nice playing against the people who just wanted to play their favorite champions, instead of going against an endless army of meta picks. I hope they bring it back sometime, even as a rotating game mode, because blind queue just isn't the same.

they have this wonderful thing called ranked where you can now pick the role you want to play and wait the extra time if its a popular role
