League of Legends (Old)

[Klazam]

Question- how do you abuse bushes?

[Klazam]

If he just stands on the opposite side of the wave from bushes, doesnt that lose me cs/ give him plenty of room to kite me?

[Klazam]

Couple questions for general peoples-

1) As a support, am i supposed to dedicate a slot to pink wards? always buying 2 when i can afford it, and so on? (just came out of a ranked game where i bought 17- maybe this was extreme, but my excuse is that the enemy team had an akali)

2) In ALL roles, my major issue is positioning. i keep on getting out of position/ being vulnerable (particularly right after laning phase ends, and LATE game), and getting punished for it. I KNOW the concept of not bad positioning, but i cant seem to reconcile what i know and how i play. How do i conquer that issue?

3a) I decided to seriously cut down my champion pool and roles to focus for ranked gameplay- can you guys tell me issues with my pool, and what if anything, should i add to it?

Spoiler: list

Top: Cho'gath, Yorick, Ryze, Tryndamere, Mordekaiser
Support: Morgana, Sona, Annie
Jungle: Cho'gath, Rek'Sai, Nautilius

3b) Related to the above- I have MAJOR issues playing a tank support, can i get away with not playing one?

4) What's the best way to play Tryndamere? Also, how do i use the ult correctly, i keep on missing it or wasting it.

(thanks to whoever answers. I just wanna get better at league in general)

[Klazam]

>i know that im not including adc and mid, i can play them, but im trying to narrow down my played roles to those 3.

Thanks for the answers.

Panzer- what junglers should i add to my jungler "roster" if the other 3 isnt enough to be safe from bans?

[Klazam]

I have amumu, that could work.

[Klazam]

Yeah, only ever gonna get morde vs melee assassian tops (zed specifically)

[Klazam]

i am now on that!

[Klazam]

i need to try that runeglaive GP build man

purely because LOL

Me too.

I honestly like how smite is becoming a useful thing, with runeglaive mids and cinderhulk tops. I just feel it adds to diversty, and no, the jungler is still important even with those

[Klazam]

Zap!

[Klazam]

sorry i utterly disagree. randomess adds interesting byplay. instead of ADC #1 with more skill than ADC #2 will always win, we get the possibility of ADC #2 getting lucky, and getting to see ADC #1 showcasing his skill in making up for ADC #2's luck.

I'm coming from a strong Magic the gathering background, and over the years i've come to appreciate how much an rng element brings to the game, in terms of making it interesting and enjoyable.

[Klazam]

if youre so skilled, then factor in rng luck in your play, recognize the possibility and learn how to play with it.

[Klazam]

The better team should still win anyway. Luck will even out, and the worse team wont be able to parlay their advantages as well as the better one

[Klazam]

I believe that rng is healthy, not toxic

[Klazam]

how much worse are we talking?

if a tiny bit, hell that's good- comeback victory, who doesnt love that.

if a HUGE bit, then wtf why did the game go late? In that case, the winning team deserves it because the "better" team didnt close it out, and instead gave them the opportunity to get lucky.

keep in mind the luck pendulum swings both ways- nobody talks about how the better team manages to get off a nice string of crits and picks up a penta to close out games.

Wait, that's actually exciting too.

Another point- Real life sports DO have rng. Weather conditions in football, physical condition, even how well they slept, all that can be called rng. Sports are made better by a inherent degree of randomness.

If you dont like randomness, go play checkers and chess.

[Klazam]

Top lane tower is the least important objective in the game- you should be tping to/from other lanes/drag to force X+1 v X matchups for more important objectives, not tping back to your own tower after being forced out. this is true for both winning and losing lanes.

[Klazam]

I'm speaking of the first tower, and even if the other guy counts as .3 of a champ because hes behind it's still a edge in fights. and after they pick up the objective they won because of your nonpresence, they can rotate top and murder you because youre far away from safety. games are won via drag/mid/bot objectives, and not top.

[Klazam]

The very first time, is probably k, but later on, other stuff becomes more important

[Klazam]

Question- gunblade or wota?

[Klazam]

so smite braum support is pretty decent

[Klazam]

tried morellos mordekaiser, turned out to be superfluous. wrecked vlad before i even finished the item

[Klazam]

And how'd she lose that? Seems the same to me

How many times are you expected to upgrade cannon for gp? I can only do it once a game

[Klazam]

NOOO I MOVED TO SEATTLE FOR THE PING

[Klazam]

ap or ad ez?

I believe you beat AP, and struggles vs AD because of your ideal itemzation

[Klazam]

NOO I LOSE MY PING

[Klazam]

52, up,from 20

[Klazam]

(I keep on expecting hito to have a vlad avatar.)

[Klazam]

Still 0 pentas

(fuck Maestro)

[Klazam]

tahm is most successful in the jungle...

WAIT WHAT

[Klazam]

Chilling-Sated Devourer, BOTRK, Mercs, Triforce, Titanic Hydra, Warmogs on Xin

did i get lucky or does that build actually work?

[Klazam]

best animation riot've produced imo

[Klazam]

Best is so subjective



scariest splash

[Klazam]

I've never seen those. Theyre real champ skins?

[Klazam]

explain what that link does

[Klazam]

The ult is weird as hell.

Why are champs getting aoe heals as ults now?

[Klazam]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy etc

[Klazam]

Yi vs Rammus....

well crap, literally unwinnable

[Klazam]

YO

FAKEGOD

i followed your guide, except for upgrading an trinket >.>

destroyed renek in lane (no kills in lane tho, he was flashing after every time i ate him and bing often) and in general was a nuisance in the lategame. thanks bro.

4/1/11 which is rather solid for me.

youre right, hes fun as hell

[Klazam]

Have you tried ghost instead of exhaust?

Good at surviving ganks- 2 people attacking you- cant exhaust both, good to run away, good to catch up, good to run laps around dongerturrets

[Klazam]

yeah

im bad at this game, anytime i play with people i lose horribly

[Klazam]

Aa-Q-aa is a reset combo

[Klazam]

Well, to be precise, you can aa-q with no delay. If the q is the final stack for powerchord, it resets the aa so the three hots take no time to perform, done correctly

[Klazam]

Hits

[Klazam]

Cabd i love you for that info. Thanks

[Klazam]

I'm happy with my Cho top.

8/1/x, 16/4/x, 7/7/6 (their koggles got ridic fed)

[Klazam]

Question tho- against a full ad comp that second game, I went rod, mercury treads, dmp, randuin, frozen heart. What should my last item have been? I ended up getting the ludens thing because I had enough gold to one shot it

[Klazam]

Waitasecond, quinn doesnt blind anymore? I laned aganist her, it sure felt like she blinded me

[Klazam]

Huh

[Klazam]

Is there an AD supertank, along the veins of cho and tahm?

[Klazam]

Fulltank wukong?

can rek'sai go toplane?

Tried jarvan, he's awesome.

[Klazam]

I'm a tank main.

used to be a supp main, but i dont get S6 supporting yet

[Klazam]

I main Tahm Kench

and I encourage other people to do the same

Cho vs AP, Tahm vs AD, jarvan vs whatever when we need ad, and rammus jungle

thats what im doing lately

nothing as fun as going tahm vs riven.

[Klazam]

Dont people realize full AD comps are a bad idea?

[Klazam]

I'm in, gimme 30 mins

[Klazam]

ugh

stuff keeps coming up, i wont join anytime soon

[Klazam]

I tried him for the first time.

as far as i could see, his strength is that he hits so goddamn hard. spent the whole lane phase having the opposite viktor stay terrified of me, too scared to push me in to tower.

then the fed twitch from botlane showed up and carried the other team to victory.

[Klazam]

and LAZOR BEAM is unwallable

[Klazam]

Its not a projectile, its a area of effect thing.

[Klazam]

Fb is 2/3 a level and 400 gold. I'd think the important thing to do is to mae sure you don't lose that much

Alternatively, be cho'gath or garen and just sustain to full

[Klazam]

That works too

[Klazam]

holy fuck first time corki, hes stupid op

I LOVE IT

but srsly, whats his weakness?

[Klazam]

I have zero trust that people in lower elos know how to use her. It's possible there's a skill component to it, but there's also just the possibility that the majority launch in without a real thought on how to approach her.

I think it has more to do with that she's a wombo combo champ than that she is good late game.

But than again, She is actually the inverse of Amumu's win by duration graph, so maybe I'm wrong, But it is similar to Cho's graph, just a much lower average win rate.

explain what you mean by cho's graph?

[Klazam]

which is? im curious

[Klazam]

That's really interesting, t.hanks panzer

[Klazam]

It's the best spotlight for the skin i've seen

[Klazam]

should have shown her die

You monster

[Klazam]

Um how does j4 counter vlad?

[Klazam]

Mid jarvan is pretty sweet, at least aganist yasuo

[Klazam]

im late to post, but psyche, death is the best cc

get dem kills

[Klazam]

Use passive on the enemy off cd, stay a bit back, spells take 4 secs off passive cd, use passive to rekt towers

[Klazam]

Blue yeah, yellow no.

explain yellow-no please

also, what lanes get blue and what lanes keep yellow?

[Klazam]

Build plz

[Klazam]

trying it out right now

thanks

[Klazam]

that was an horrible experience

[Klazam]

Things my champ can do that bard cant

Tank all the damages
Shut up that leblanc for 4 seconds while my team wails on her
Knock up the other team for a clutch yasuo ult
Eat dragons

[Klazam]

i dont find rankeds fun personally while normals are, therefore i play normals

[Klazam]

Is spamming one champ feasible in ranked?

I know im solid on cho, so should i take him in ranked, or should i actually make a effort to get more than one champ to "solid" status

[Klazam]

I can play cho top mid and jungle, support is possible but people will get butthurt.

Rc- i'm barely silver, so its not a really helpful comment.

Others, thanks.

When is a good time to start ranked then? Tomorrow? Or should i wait til preseason is offically over?

[Klazam]

Psyche, what rf said is very true. Im not scared of people counterpicking, i'm just scared of the stupid bullshit that is darius and olaf, and that is mitigatable by a half-assed effort on the part of the jungler.

[Klazam]

whats your ign anyway, psyche?

[Klazam]

Silver 4, but im rather bad

[Klazam]

(Im better than silver 4 with cho, far far worse with everything else)

I'd be glad to join this team

[Klazam]

I'll make the team in a bit and invite all the bronzes and silvers. Not sure if we should take golds. Sorry plats, be worse.

I dont think i ahve you on my friend list, friend me, i'm klazam

[Klazam]

that was bad

oh well

[Klazam]

team ONUW, we need to set up a weekly night where we're all on or something

[Klazam]

Both me and Bitz fucked up in the last fight, and I think one of those mistakes is why Klazam chose to go bot lane to push instead of fight, which cost us the game.

i was mentally checked out at that point, i know i shouldve stayed with the team, sorry

[Klazam]

Alternately, one blitz hook landed on a sona = dead sona, while you could in theory survive a thresh hook

[Klazam]

whats your rank?

[Klazam]

Our silver and below ranked team

[Klazam]

Replay? Link?

I want links to all those

[Klazam]

I LOVE the art of the trailer
looks amazing.

[Klazam]

Twitch?

[Klazam]

how do i share replay? replay.gg says watchign online is unavailble

[Klazam]

thaty works for others, not just me? good to know

[Klazam]

i thought i was the only one able to use that feature for my matches

[Klazam]

That...cant be right

[Klazam]

Im frustated with my play, it feels so inconsient, sometimes i feel like im playing like a god, sometimes i just keep on making dumb mistakes over and over. And a lot of the time it happens in the same game. How do i cure it?

Related replay: www.replay.gg/search/na/klazam#2060577499

The first few mins i feel like im playing perfectly, but then afterwards, when by all accounts i should be able to just crush, i kept on walking in stupid mistakes...

[Klazam]

(Luckily one of my early actions meant we could win the game easily, game only lasted 20 mins)

[Klazam]

Thanks ank

[Klazam]

chilling smite or red smite> ignite

also, roaming means you can pick up mana from scuttles

[Klazam]

both versions are hilarious.

[Klazam]

i like new champ select.

[Klazam]

fucking client buggy af

[Klazam]

whats wrong with singed and ziggs?

[Klazam]

Tips v LB v Yasuo? Didnt feed but couldnt hard carry my bot lane losing to a loss so I need tips for that matchup. He just does so much dmg at any time. It is burst + dps + no mana + cc + negate my dmg and snare with wind wall. Halp.

General tip vs yasuo- aa, wait out shield, then burst

[Klazam]

Bronze 2 yay >.>

[Klazam]

If iyour team dies instantly before you, then you did your job and the team loss is well deserved.

[Klazam]

If i was fizz, i'd be having a heart attack right there

[Klazam]

Sad thing is, i think the enemy team actually reported me because i got that "you've been bad recently" popup.

I get that every game, whether I say anything or not. I though everyone did. Most of the time I don't type because I'm a poor typist, but that pop up comes up every game. Unless I like.. put up a silent 5/5/5 or something. That's the only time I don't see it. If you feed you get one. If you carry, the other team gives you the 5x. If you talk, you get offensive languge. If you don't you still get offensive language. Since like 90% of the punishment is automated now, everyone just reports everyone every game.

never for me :-/

[Klazam]

zed

[Klazam]

I'll answer- no, but that kind of question should be asked elsewhere, really.

Also, if its related to a ongoing game, you really shoulld have pmed the mod instead.

[Klazam]

Just had an amazing game

4v5 for most of the game, then ez finally came back late, which was just enough for us to win

glorious teamwork and coordination, and 0 flaming whatsover.

[Klazam]

Hail Satan

first time teemo aganist a jax.. lets see how bad i get rekt

[Klazam]

ouch

[Klazam]

I think that it was more of a factor of being a first time teemo tbh

[Klazam]

Full ap naut, Jarvan, and uh ekko?

[Klazam]

Alistar is a cool support

windspeakers or?

[Klazam]

It is because of the flat armor and magic resist given by ali's heal.
Windspeaker's is for sure the way to go.

this was my reasoning

[Klazam]

My mastery pages is absolutely a mess- i keep on changing stuff up.

[Klazam]

We're talking about mastery pages not rune pages

[Klazam]

when is a death justified?

I need to know so that i can self-evaluate my play better

[Klazam]

Thank you. Something for me to think about now.

By support death to save someone always being justified.... I find myself dying a bit too much as supp to save my adc (bodyblocking a blitz hook that wouldve hit the adc, for example). How can i "not die" in that case?

[Klazam]

You gotta get to level 6 first somehow.

[Klazam]

holy fuckign shit

that aurelion sol teaser

legit scary

[Klazam]

aurelion's kit seems really cool

[Klazam]

defintely piking him up

seems so interesting

[Klazam]

Yes!

Chatroom shenanigans

[Klazam]

save it until after he blinks obviously

so youre gonna let him run to your adc and start smacking?

he blinks to stop snare, no real reason to blink otherwise.

[Klazam]

League of mafia

[Klazam]

invite me to club, zor

[Klazam]

watched six mins-

A) Alistar kept on engaging on the vayne, which is useless- should be focusing raka
B) Q's were being hit
C) you won the lane according to the CS, dont worry about kills that much.
D) You werent harassing raka enough, should be hitting her because that makes her go b, in which you can then engage on vayne and kill vayne.

[Klazam]

excuse me

700 cs

how

[Klazam]

what lanes are you picking to get to play aurelion sol?

[Klazam]

Clean $700 >.>

And im terrible at this game

[Klazam]

I tried blitz mid, Lane was meh, but midgame we just rolled them utterly.

[Klazam]

i got absolutely wrecked by one, so i say its good

[Klazam]

from my experience, yes, swifties are awesome

also, he feels like a singed, but with a different zone of threat

[Klazam]

the stunner gets larger the longer he walks with it, it only moves in one direction. It detonates when it passes his outer star ring, but he can walk/fly with it to extend the range.

orbs do some damage when close, and more damage when far, and these are his only 2 modes.

(or what zor said)

[Klazam]

What the what

[Klazam]

k, im gonna try that.

[Klazam]

I never get a S, idk what im doing wrong, i only get A or below

[Klazam]

what does that involve?

[Klazam]

I played Devourer rageblade janna jungle and somehow won

[Klazam]

Taric is fucking fabulous. Got a S on him

[Klazam]

So one for all Lee sin, first time ever touching the champ, went 17/17/17

I love this mode.

I also haven't lost.

[Klazam]

HI
