I dont get a lot of time to play and it sucks when you only have time for one game and it has been basically a week, and you get a shit team. I was trying support(Karma) and Jinx went bottom with me. There was a Jinx on the bottom on the otherside and no one else. We couldn't kill the other Jinx, i could get her 3/4 down on health i dont know what our Jink, or what she was doing but she would just end up dead, then i would have to bail. Sometimes i would even get two shields up in one fight on our Jink. There Jink was so feed really early on from our Jink is was dumb.
Big changes for season 4 coming up. First, wards: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueofleg..._beyond_sight_an_introduction_to_preseason_4/ key points: vision wards are always visible and able to be destroyed. They have no time limit so they will stay on the map until destroyed. Each individual player may only have so many wards on the map. If you try exceeding that, the oldest ward you have on the map will be removed (like how the sightstones work). Now effective warding has to come from the whole team as the support can't just buy 10 wards and spam them everywhere. Support changes: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueofleg...to_carry_my_carry_an_introduction_to_support/ key points: trying to increase the support's ability to get gold and buy items that have more consequences in a fight
Cleaner summaries can be found on Surrenderat20.net as well. If they actually do what they say they're going to do with supports, that will be fucking awesome. Less children screaming "SUPPORT NEEDS TO WARD THE ENTIRE MAP" because they can only have 4 wards out at a time. It'll force everyone to ward and usually when everyone wards, the game is much better. Against my better judgement, I'm going to try and ride the Nasus OP train and make another run this weekend.
Anyone want to takes bets on a post either Saturday or Sunday night by parker that is along the lines of "FUCK THIS SHIT!"?
I was going to start this post off by saying "Holy fuck, I couldn't even make it TO SATURDAY!" But its 12:15am as I write this. I can't do it. Just got trolled by fucking baddies. No map awareness, refusing to group, going B after an ace with towers cleanly pushed, just basic shit. People need to hit level 30 and win 100 games before playing ranked. Shit is ridiculous.
Ok, I swear to god on Tom Brady, I played my last Season 3 game. I can't take it anymore. Fucking trolls have trolled me down to 0 LP at Bronze II. I'm not fucking falling. That's it. I can't do it anymore.
Holy shit the vitriol. I decided to do a ranked. During champ select I kept DC'ing then reconnecting. Decided I better be safe and just queue dodge. Unfortunately I already already chosen my champion, and the game clock hit 0 during one of my DC's so it started up. I'm trying my best but I keep DC'ing in the middle of engagements and there is no honor among silver thieves. At the end people keep crying that I'm trying and even telling the other team that I was saying in chat that I was intentionally feeding. Just wow. I even tried to do the honorable thing and dodge, but these people turned out to be such assholes that I'm not even sad about it now. EDIT: It was the weirdest DC situation too. Not where I'd be gone 5mins at a time. I'd DC for 5-10 second bursts. One moment I can't move, and the next, I see that I'm dead. Happened like a dozen times.
New ranked strat. I normally play characters that I can carry late game with. I hope against hope that my teammates will just not feed so ferociously that we can get to a late game. I feel like if I can't carry the game on full build tristana or nasus, that's on me. I'm selling out so hard now for early game. Pantheon top with red pots, Fizz mid w/ 45 AP and 30 offense masteries, etc.. etc.. People play so poorly against a slight advantage at my elo that early all-in strategies are disproportionately rewarded. I like Panth especially because the global ult can completely reverse another lane's fortune once I get a small advantage. Got up to my promo to gold IV with this strategy and lost, but I feel like it is inevitable. Not sure how far this will take me, but it seems effective for now.
There had to be server problems, because the game that caused me to FINALLY quit ranked for this season (for real this time) Sona just couldn't do anything had described the exact same problems. I just can't wait for the new season, because limiting wards one person can have will get rid of the Support = Ward Machine meta on now which is fucking annoying.
New legendary skin for Nasus, holy shit. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/node/8059 Also, new Sivir is pretty awesome. Way stronger now.
All the changes they're talking about are fucking awesome. Upsetting because they have these competitive MLG seasons because I feel like they could have gotten so much shit done faster and implemented if they didn't have season they couldn't throw off. It can't take them too long to realize how things are given all the data they're getting to realize how vision should work, how supports need to have their utility boosted, how people aren't really hitting their roles. They know this shit a few months in, but can't do anything major because "Whoops, the season started." Also, Nasus...I have to fight the "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" urge I'm getting. Because I love Nasus, I was thinking he needed both a Legendary Skin and a VU. Like how they snuck both of those in on us.
I haven't played much of ranked this season, but was grandfathered into Silver 3 when they created those divisions. Usually I'm just an ARAM player, but I've been spamming ranked in TryHard-mode in an attempt to get to gold so I can relish in that Victorious Elise skin. The crazy part is I've been doing it as a support main. Pretty much just Thresh every game if he's not banned. I just qualified for my promos to get to gold last night, have been a bit scared to start them up though. Also, that new Pop Star Ahri skin would be badass if they didn't just nerf her.
Getting better. Been playing and holding my own with a team of mid-silver kids. Almost level 20 and stoked to get Runes. Playing pretty well with Jax and do fine with Jinx and Riven, looking to learn more tops, probably Renekton next. Down for games whenever. Tag is FruutLuups. Also, what is with the ridiculous amount of people in this game that are just total assholes for no reason? Takes me back to the good ol Halo 2 days.
Welcome to LoL. Other news, pretty good early analysis of the new jungle pathing. http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs/stonewall/26326-season-4-jungle-paths
Got my laptop fixed and at full power. Now I can play at my utmost potential and stop playing on a shitty macbook pro through a shitty mac client. Just won 3 ranked games in a row, then a normal. Fucking wonderful.
Hey fuck you. When you can't see the field like you used to see the field, any half the effects on the screen turn white, there is a problem. I also wasn't breaking 30 fps, as opposed to the 45-60 my PC pulls. I just wanked off 6 wins in a row. Blew through a series qualification then went on to win a normal. IT MUST BE THE SHOES!
