League of Legends: The New Thread

[MTD]

yay for small-ish sample sizes

[MTD]

spiiiiders

[MTD]

only fun I derive from League of Legends now is when I play jungle blitzcrank

you guys should give it a whirl; it's very fun and no one sees it coming

More fun things i am playing/want to play: jg karma, adc karma, jg kalista

[MTD]

this life

[MTD]

Just main support and you never get autofilled anyway

[MTD]

supoppy <3

[MTD]

Well MF activates it -> ults makes her ult harder to stop and lethality + bc is making ult deal so much damage.

shouldn't the same be true for Jhin?

[MTD]

Current projects (i.e. things I want to play but am not entirely happy with how I play them yet): Warwick support, Karma adc, Kalista jungle.
Mainstays: Karma jungle, Poppy support, also Thresh I guess

[MTD]

Karma adc

what why

Originally it irked me that i'd play Karma in every role but that so I said I'd try it.
Then it was really fun and I kept at it.
(I do also currently have a positive record on it, as opposed to every other adc)

[MTD]

It's under training

edit: oh you are talking old client i presume? then idk

[MTD]

I mean, chances are they do listen to people, probably even to people on the PBE.
Just not the same people you listen to.

[MTD]

I do feel it's a pretty good compromise yea.

That's not to say the points he raises are all invalid, they just don't matter as much if you (like I do) see autofill in 1 out of maybe 10-12 games.

[MTD]

Cleaver getting cheaper too!

but with less damage. And a worse build path for ADCs.

I mean, i don't think it was intended as an item for adcs originally, so that's kind of fair.

[MTD]

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/f ... -slaughter

has some pretty strong evidence that it matters if the support takes the kill instead of the adc

*first blood kill

[MTD]

doubt it's much different for later kills

At later points in the game it is much more likely that you will get other objectives off kills, so the kill gold itself matters at least somewhat less, i'd presume.
That said, of course it will always be better for the adc to get the kill, we just don't really have the data as to by how much.

[MTD]

yup, similar to poppy-ulted enemies, yasuo needs them to be targetable.

[MTD]

decide to buy a mystery champion shard for the first time in ages -> get Rakan. Not complaining.

[MTD]

Yea i only have like 50 champs, and not even all of the 1350ers, so it is more of a risk

[MTD]

i just always ban Urgot

[MTD]

ad karma top. twas good.

[MTD]

I don't know if higher Honor means more Key Shards

Pretty sure it does.

[MTD]

nice to know that they turned on honour lvl 3 this week lol

I just got mine too lol

[MTD]

same

[MTD]

Spoiler:

this is fun.

[MTD]

there is!
I am not getting it either though.

[MTD]

oh boy, Karma passive buff.

[MTD]

I win most lanes with AP Shyvana, so that's nice

[MTD]

can't you do that on euw :/

[MTD]

holy shit, it's letting me log into my NA account again.

[MTD]

it would be helpful if people mentioned their time zones, or we agreed on a time zone we put the availabilities in >.<

[MTD]

Spoiler:

I'm happy enough with this pick i think.

[MTD]

Ult-E does good damage, is easy to hit, has good range and goes through minions.
Also with new runes normal E does enough damage that you can poke enough to get through the early levels decently well.

[MTD]

Mid

[MTD]

Is it though?
I'm fairly certain i had 2 before, and i have 3 now?

[MTD]

ap sivir anyone?

[MTD]

I am really enjoying camille support right now.

[MTD]

trying out comet right now, was on aftershock before.

[MTD]

Huh, they nerfed the worst matchups for mid shyvana, plus the sorcery nerfs matter less to me than to everyone else.
Gotta start banning yasuo again though.

[MTD]

huh, more wards per game as support than diamond average.

[MTD]

She slaughtered me the most but my most killed is Zyra.

[MTD]

~35% of my midlane games were ap shyvana.
And the loss rate to Janna was ~68%

[MTD]

I kinda want to see warding stats for supports. Bc I am certain that Silver supports ward less than Bronze ones.

Also I can never seem to justify to myself ever getting anything other than green in the jungle.

On the year in review page you can see average wards placed for silver and for bronze and i can confirm that it is significantly higher in silver than in bronze.
it's just always higher if you go up divisions, except between master and challenger where it shows as same

[MTD]

I do not see how that is weird tbh.

[MTD]

Heh. I was silver 3 last season, went 3-7 in placements and started silver 4 as well.

[MTD]

3-0 so far with crit poppy

[MTD]

Added Duskblade to the build, 10-3 at this point

[MTD]

Added Duskblade to the build, 10-3 at this point

but is this as support?

nah, this is as top, don't really have the money for it as supp

Did hit 200k mastery btw

[MTD]

my second highest is 78k

[MTD]

yes karma, shyvana is at like 60k, exclusively from midlane

poppy with duskblade and crit items can actually oneshot people with passive, which is amusing, especially when you have rapidfire cannon.

[MTD]

testing ap jhin support

[MTD]

Shyv mid is pretty good right now btw

[MTD]

AP shyv dominates the lane (and skirmishes) in the mid game but falls off late.
And well, it seems to me that midgame matters more again right now.
Also i really like morellos as a first item on it since it was changed.

Honestly though, it is mostly just anecdotal evidence, so don't put too much trust in it.

(if that was at me)
(otherwise, still)

Oh, also chrysalis+bone plating makes getting through the early lane well even easier than it was.

[MTD]

Morello (sorc boots) rylais twin shadows usually, sometimes protobelt. Starting item is dorans shield.
I did try the attack speed stuff before but in my experience comitting to being poke was better. If you expect more 1v1s that might be worth it, but in teamfights you aren't really tanky enough to be in auto range a lot.

[MTD]

I, too, play on euw, unsure how much in he next few weeks, but feel free to add me, username is iammtd.

[MTD]

they gave my ap shyv actual lategame

[MTD]

I am none of these things

@random, i would, but idk how much time i'm going to have over the weekend >.<

[MTD]

ARURF tho

[MTD]

It does confuse me people get this worked up about something nobody is forcing them to play~

[MTD]

I'd argue that exactly that is the reason ARAM has little or no influence on playing skill on SR.
i'm also gonna say i do not see why you are comparing ARAM to URF though.

[MTD]

Any data to back that up?

[MTD]

Speaking of lux, i have a decent winrate with lux jungle right now

[MTD]

Oh, that's a nice idea, i'll try to incorporate that.

Also the last game i played was against the Taric mid/yi stuff, which lux is kinda sweet against if you can q after the first alpha

[MTD]

I do not play lux jungle in rankeds though, i am not that confident in it yet.

Casting E on raptors sometimes is so good though, it almost gives you half your healthbar back for nothing, thanks for that tip.

[MTD]

I did the thing!

Spoiler:

[MTD]

Spectral Cutlass.
And i'm gonna say probably not.

[MTD]

an ad item is not ideal for that

[MTD]

indeed

[MTD]

crash?

[MTD]

i can no longer win a game or even slightly contribute idk what happened

The change being?

[MTD]

Oh man, it's time for the e-peen off! I'm selling popcorn if anyone wants it.

Me too please

[MTD]

I recommend poppy in all roles

[MTD]

I do feel like that at times, however for me it's sometimes difficult to distinguish between just having to play the pick more or it being a pick i can't make work
(e.g. i'm still unsure on mid xin and jungle xayah)

[MTD]

What does jungle xayah even accomplish?

Theory was that it should be safer than jungle kalista (clear is way healthier) while keeping some of the objective secure (although 9 feathers+smite is of course less than spears+smite).
But yea, clear is decent, ganks are meh.
skirmishing is quite nice.

disclaimer: the "clear is way healthier" is likely partly due to me being shit at kalista, but oh well.

[MTD]

most recently it kind of did mostly build ap afaik.

[MTD]

hi guys
tell me what's wrong with the idea of playing nunu mid so that i stop trying to do that
the waveclear feels fine, i'm not dying in lane, and my roams are comfortable
so what's the reason it's taboo

I can see a bit of a lack in (teamfight) damage depending on your build but if your team isn't starved for that, i see no problem with it.

[MTD]

I wonder what role she is supposed to be.
As in her kit looks halfway between mid and jungle, but not great at either (in lane and at jungle clearing that is). If you can force skirmishes she should be fine though.
Depends on numbers of course, as always.
She certainly seems fun

[MTD]

Shyvmid is good at taking mid turret.
Shrug.

[MTD]

getting liss passive to activate when her teammates die because the morde ghost auto'd them is amusing

[MTD]

I just know that as a rule of thumb, the ghosts do retain a surprising amount of things^^ not sure if the anivia egg thing is still accurate though, i'd have expected to at least have heard of it

my personal favorite is this:

[MTD]

Yasuo just farming

[MTD]

I managed to lose my NA account :/

[MTD]

TFT is indeed enjoyable
