League of Legends: The New Thread

[Espeonage]

Signed up for skillcapped to try it for a month. So far so good.

Also, I am finding I tend to play better on off builds/lanes except in some key cases. My best mid at the moment is AP Varus followed by Jarvin, Kennen is among my top ADCs, AP Xin is about my best jungler, and Ahri is one of my favorite support picks.

idk if it is because I revel in being underestimated or something else. shrug

Also the struggle is real. I have been in B1 for ages now and am winning about 50% of my games so I can't quite break to Silver.

[Espeonage]

It's both not unwarranted, but also a bit out of left field when

cunt

is standard vernacular and not necessarily used offensively.

[Espeonage]

zor, how do I play jinx?

Minigun does significantly more damage to single targets.

Rockets splash applies as many times as it can so get Runaans before you finish IE.

Splash damage from rockets won't drawminion aggro but attackinf directly will. Punish them from sitting in minions.

And uh, business as usual for an adc.

[Espeonage]

Oman, I really need to make silver tonight. I won't be able to play again until after the cutoff, so it has to happen today. I'll be on from about 6-7pm.

Edit: I am asking you to duo.

[Espeonage]

I liked the udyr stats.

[Espeonage]

Support is the easiest to get S on. What you all smoking. Just place wards like fuck and make sure the guy being tracked as ADC doesn't die.

Support is about the only one you can go negative and still get an S.

[Espeonage]

How does that equate champion picks with role played?

So for example, I play Alistar as my number 1 jungle AND Support pick, but as I am a better jungler than support, I have a much better Jungle win rate with that champion.

I also can't for the life of me understand how to play Varus properly as an ADC but he is my highest winrate midlaner.

[Espeonage]

I reinforced the belief that ability can't overpower counterpicks.

[Espeonage]

Champ select discussions would state otherwise.

[Espeonage]

Ok so I am finding that Jungle Alistar is stupid fun at the moment. I run Green/Red and just gank all game long. It feels very much like the old roam support, except I get the benefit of jungle gold.

I don't know if its that running lots of ganks is particularly effective at my ELO (Which I presume it is) or if it is actually decent, but it is fun as hell.

Also my baby (AP Varus) feels pretty deece with the adaptive damage helping with early game trades that swaps to AP later.

Ezreal seems broke. If I go even/minorly behind in lane with Klepto I feel like I should win the game.

Finding Assassins to be pretty cray atm tho.

[Espeonage]

For jungle Ali

I run aftershock, the summoner tenacity thing (steals, ganking), the bonus to both defences, revitalise. Then I go red with the bonus penetration after dash and ghost poro..

[Espeonage]

I died most to Vayne, killed the most Lux, Smashed Rek'Sais and have a 91% loss rate to J4

[Espeonage]

Best Winrate by far was Jinx though. Also a full quarter of my mid lane games were with AP Varus

[Espeonage]

Has anyone found anything particularly fun with the New Runes.

I think my favourite new build is Klepto Vayne and Varus mid where I can pick if I go AP or AD after being in laning for a bit. WHich is good because they have different counters.

Also why are so many ADCs buying guinsoos at the moment?

[Espeonage]

does it work with rend stacks?

[Espeonage]

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.

[Espeonage]

Weird man.

[Espeonage]

I just went 10-0 in my placements.

Starting in S4.

[Espeonage]

I finished last season silver 3.

[Espeonage]

What do people go on secondary for auto attack adc champs now?

I ask because I used to get stopwatch and boots which I can't do any more.

[Espeonage]

I am have a career high at the moment of silver 3. Very pleased.

EDIT: Won both promos as support ahri. Got an S on the second as well.

[Espeonage]

3-0 with Ahri support. Because Silver is a cesspool of people that have no idea how to carry.

[Espeonage]

As someone who doesn't play Zoe, but is a disgusting human, I am for this.

[Espeonage]

I just play the same Shit. No one touches ap varus

[Espeonage]

My old uni has a rather large and rather attractive cosplaying community. And they do a lot of LoL "advertising".

[Espeonage]

I played one game as new Irelia, and while I lost I found her very cheap and easy to cheese fights. The stun is actually bonkers. Like set one get to backline set the other and you have effectively split their team up.

[Espeonage]

And I have no team

[Espeonage]

I got invited to a team by some golds who saw me play the uni tournament. So that's cool.

[Espeonage]

Reaching out here because I'm kinda desperate for this. I play on the Oceania server but I don't know enough people to get a five-man premade going.

It doesn't need to be a PvP game. It can be a bloody beginner bot game, PvE. The requirement is just having five people as a premade squad, and winning. But I need help because apparently nobody plays on Oceania anymore so am desperately reaching out on every possible avenue I can think of.

Hey I am an Aussie.

I'll bring three others to you if you need. What's your username?
