[Klazam]

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

I love this mode.

[GuyInFreezer]

Try all soraka.

[inte]

back to plat 2 then d e m o t e d again

does anyone enjoy getting demoted like i do? a little mix of schadenfreude and masochism mixed into a neat little package because i enjoy being an asshole too much

[DeathNote]

All in One Bard is probably the hardest thing lol. At least I went positive?

Fizz/Lux though was insanely easy. I did so well that I picked up both champs after.

[JasonWazza]

Bard all for one is funny as fuck.

Fizz and lux are fairly simple and easy to pick up, Fizz is basically if you can predict ability usage/have low ping and quick reflexes you can dodge everything while assassinating everyone, Lux being if you know her burst combo (Q>E>R>Pop E) you basically know most of what is required from lux, they just both require macro game knowledge (when to roam/push/back etc.) for best effect.

[PJ.]

one for all sucks. just pick ziggs.

[Gendaberry]

Twitch is the best character

[SleepyKrew]

[hiplop]

BIG BOSS

[SleepyKrew]

Yeah... feel kind of bad about that.

hiplop and I will forgive you if you give us mystery skins like you did the randos

[JasonWazza]

Question is it worth maxing E on new jungle fiddle?

Reasoning: basically makes your clear speed super quick due to your E prioritizing the target your draining (the big monster) before it prioritizes things that haven't been hit.

I was playing Mid fiddlesticks, so i'm not sure how the actual clears will fare, but i was at around 1st item and was able to 1 shot the entire camp to farm it with just an E>W so figured i'd ask.

this was 10/10

[GuyInFreezer]

So Pantheon is free this week.

Can't wait to have a mirror pantheon match at the top lane

[hiplop]

d was able to 1 shot the entire camp to farm it with just a

w -> e max

w is just too important to passup. Maxing w gets you to be able to solo dragon at level 4

[mykonian]

ok, so I've been going back to jungling, got fed up with playing bot in ranked, midlane is a mess where I don't really have a champ right now, so idk, returned to my old love. Mummy has again been on the strong side for a while and idk, after a dozen or so games I think pathing and reading the opposing jungler might be coming back to me? Either way, I am sort of reaching a barrier again. When things go well, an early gank sticks etc, I know how to take over a game, translate an advantage on one side of the map to the other lanes. The problem is being behind. Consistently I do get fewer wards out in games where we are the side that is behind, I do not quite "get" how to support a comeback in that sense beyond getting a good engage. I tend to go yellow trinket/smitestone and this works wonders when ahead, but I'm not sure if it's ideal when behind, find it hard to judge the value of sweeper vs 2 extra wards.

All in all, I think it's more than just being behind that holds me back in those games, it's also that I don't know how to play from behind well enough. Would anyone have thoughts on how to approach the game in such situations?

[inte]

being behind as a jungler?

farming and being able to affect fights i.e. good engages and pickoffs

this game is so snowbally though its just way easier to consistantly do well in the beginning rather than come back when you're behind

control drag/baron, control pressure, control waves, - jungler responsibility in that order

[mykonian]

ok, then as a followup question. Say we are losing, but not by much, first towers have dropped. How do I go about controlling dragon/baron, or set any pressure up at all without running into a disadvantageous fight? It's easy when you are ahead, you ward beyond the objective and if they bother you you smack them. And you win because you are ahead.

[inte]

depends on team comp and power spikes

for example,y

if you have vi, ashe, braum, syndra, trundle

obviously your team excels at both team fights and picks, so you group and try to force an objective such as a t2 turret, to release pressure for an enemy dragon or baron take

if you have tryndamere, ziggs, lee sin, lucian, leona. you play the lane control farm game and protect lucian and wait for him to get 2 or 3 full items because trynd and ziggs scale very well into late game also. if the enemy team is not grouping, wave clear and then farm jungle. repeat.

idk, these things are real intuitive to me because i played dota for so long and micromanaging power spikes and relevance is pretty much 80% of the game

[inte]

but for real until you get to roughly plat elo all you gotta do is have more farm than your opponent and its almost always safer to farm

[Psyche]

but what about your team

[Randomnamechange]

Group. I had a ridiculously good comeback today because we 5v2ed then took elder Dragon, killed the other three then ran baron. We had taken no turrets, 1 cloud Dragon and were down two inhibs, but by working as a team to make picks and control objectives we came back. I think the biggest thing is just to stall and jump on mistakes and openings.
