League of Legends: The New Thread

[esuriospiritus]

I'm scared to try it tbh. But I totally will anyway, once it hits live. I'm just... also bouncing between several other strategy games right now, and my brain might explode if I take on another.

In other news, I'm up to Silver III from Bronze III two months ago and still hitting a ~60% winrate. I don't play super often (and when I do, it's usually just ARAM), so I'm pretty happy with this even though Silver is objectively... not impressive, lol.

[Psyche]

nah that's a whole division, be super proud!

this is pretty good for telling you the basics of how it works.

I feel like being dead average is something to celebrate.

[esuriospiritus]

lol. thanks.

OP.GG tells me I'm "69% of top" on the ladder, though. Well below average, but the phrasing there is pretty hilarious.

If anyone wants to play TFT with me just hit me up

[Alisae]

ikr
I was choking a bunch with panzer but it feels really good.

[MTD]

TFT is indeed enjoyable

played a couple games
fun but I suck

I've played and I've gotten a fairly consistent strategy which while it's not unbeatable and is somewhat unreliable, isn't too hard to get started and is a consistently GOOD performer.

Nidalee-Warwick-Ahri-Gnar-Kassadin-Kha'ziz-Cho'gath-Shyvana-Aurelian Sol as your nine person combo.

Wild 4, Brawler 2, Void 3, Sorcerer 3 Dragon 2 Shapeshifter 3 synergies.

It does require maximum level to get or force of nature (get spatulas, lots and lots of spatulas), and you'll want to be beefing up key units (Warwick, Nidalee, Kassadin, Aurelian Sol, maybe-Gnar, maybe-Ahri), and depending on what items you get it can be amazing or just be kinda okay.

You'll want to get economy going and you'll want to AVOID leveling up until you get a T3 Nidalee/Warwick/Kassadin/Kha'ziz (as they are all 1-cost champs, the lower level you are, the higher chances of you getting them). That or give up on getting T3 once you get T2. Don't aim for T3 on Gnar, Cho'gath, Shyvana, or Aurelian Sol as you're never going to get nine of those units. And DO get T2s of all your units even if you don't get the T3s.

There's a fair share of luck involved, but it is a pretty good champ combo once you get going.

I can find other combos that give similar results, but I run this combo every time because it's just plain and simple the most FUN one for me. Most fun and yet still produces results. (I'd aim for Glacial 6 if going for pure fun but 1, that comp doesn't work for producing results, and 2, is ridiculously hard to obtain. Whereas this comp is ridiculously easy to obtain.)

[Alisae]

thats a comp I spammed a lot in PBE

[PJ.]

Hey look, mastina came up with the exact comp that was the best thing on pbe before nerfs.

Zzzzzzz.

(Btw, hoping for 9 person combo is ridiculous lol, I've been winning most of my games with 8 at most. Most recent win was 6 assassins and darius)

[popsofctown]

Gnar and Nidalee need to not overlap 2 types and both be so independently good. That's the really strong part of that comp.

[Alisae]

No??????
the strong part of the comp is the stacked a'sol thats basically a machine gun
and also the shyvana stacked is pretty good as well.

[Alisae]

if anything nidalee is that chomps really good early game unit
and its pretty good at doing that.

[popsofctown]

I've won with the comp even when the game won't give me Aurelion Sol.
The game always gives me Gnar.
