Want to piss off people? When playing Nasus in ARAM, go AP Nasus and max your E. Instantly does around 700dmg to squishy targets. It's pretty infuriating.
So last night I got to Silver with my team (in 3's). We were 1 win, 1 loss in our provisional when we played possibly the best of game of league in our lives. We're only bronze and silver players and we were playing against two platinum and an unranked player. They start wrecking our faces, at about 15 minutes in they had both of inhibs down. All we have left was our nexus turret. They get both alters and then came in for a final push. Somehow we manage to ace them. From that ace we manage to finally get some items. We were then able to ace them two more times and on the final ace, we pushed top and managed to take it all down. They started to spawn whenever we were attacking the nexus, by kiting and flashing around, we managed to take down the nexus with our last player having under 100 health. I almost jumped out of my chair I was so fired up. Wooooo.
Wins like that is why you play the game. When you have a win like that, it doesn't get any better. Except that is like 1% of the game. Even if you lost that game, you would have felt like you made those fuckers work harder than they ever have. The soul crushing games are the opposite where you know 15 minutes in you're going to get assraped. When you tell your ADC not to push to 2nd tower, when their jungler and AD is taking our first bottom tower and they'll probably collapse solo. Their response is "Fine you don't want me to push, I'll just farm bot all game." Fucking pieces of Bronze shit. God damn I hate these people.
New season is weird. Really weird. The new items that are supposed to help supports really just allow there to be more kill lanes, support Annie has now officially gotten out of control. Support Lux will be even stronger as well. And I'm still scared to see what they will be doing to runes. I have also done the impossible in my bloodthirst excitement over the new Nasus skin. After spending about $350 dollars, I've miraculously gotten back down to zero RP. I didn't even know I was doing it until I did. And it feels great. No more RP purchases for me, I've spent a ton of money on this game and I need to not spend anymore money on this game. I'm not playing a ranked game until more of this stuff shakes out and people update their builds. I don't theorycraft this shit and even bother trying to figure it out.
I thought that was the point of the red trinket. That wasn't a secret. It was a counter to prevent bot lane from completely turtling. They did say "Disable" vision.
Ah I never read item descriptions fully. I thought they meant "disable" in that it gave you the opportunity to kill their ward. Also, that window doesn't seem very long in that case. I don't see how a jungle Naut could get through in time (perhaps not even with lvl 1 boots). Still haven't played ranked yet since the new patch. Got new masteries for jungle Vi that are working well in normals though. I'm just not very comfortable with the changes to supports and the utility tree yet.
Do not play ranked. Just don't do it. I played one last night and I thought I created a smurf account and started over. It was that bad. Well that Fizz go through pretty quickly, I think you have to move with the sight lines for it to work. Its 4 seconds, if you just cut the corner and move through, it should play as the video shows. You probably need at least level 1 boots and some damn clean clicking. With Naut or someone that has a gap closer, by the time it kicks back on you should have them if they're pushed over the half way point.
I think w/ pink wards being permanent it might be a good idea to place at in the bush behind the red buff. Then top lane purple can green around baron/enemy blue buff and bot lane blue team can green ward around dragon/enemy blue buff. Pink ward will cover your backside for a pretty long time unless the enemy team has an aggressive counterjungler (not too common in low ELO soloQ) and placing your green ward further up gives you more time to react and it'll be in a spot less likely to be disabled w/ the red trinket. Thoughts?
Yeah, because you can't ward river bush on bot blue side anymore, it'll get disabled every single time. If you move it up river, there aren't any angles to hide behind to scan it out. And the scanner has no range so they'll be spotted before they kill it. Also, I think counterjungling gets attempted based on the jungler. If your jungler is an AP jungler like Fid or Elise, I think they'll try to jungle early.
Sigh, just went 19/4 as Akali and we lost...badly. Everyone else on my team was negative 5 at least. Even if they were around 0/2 I would have been able to carry no problem. Fucked ranked in the face.
Don't play ranked yet. Its too early. Supports are still too goddamn annoying, (says someone that plays support). Oh and retards are playing ranked because they think there aren't any consequences. I'm not going to play until they announce the season start date. That means they'll have shit solidified.
Okay, I've been playing ranked recently and its back to its usual retardedness. I need more detail on what the reset is going to be like, I'm trying to get back into Bronze I so qualifiers require less work to start in Silver. I'm still going to support my way into Silver. Taric and Sona are OP as fuck right now.
Goddamn do I hate being matched with a pre-made group of 4. I'm supporting this awful bronze Lucian and he just keeps dying. I tried to be constructive with things like "don't waste your dash just to poke the support," "that was not a good engage," and then by the third death "you're too far behind to be engaging that hard." One of his friends tells me to STFU. Then the guy gets 0/4/0 by the 15min mark and leaves. I ask if he's coming back and they say he isn't. We proceeded to drag out the game to 48 minutes, score an ace and win. I don't get why you'd ragequit and leave your friends high and dry like that. That's why I only queue up with people I actually know and like.
This match: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/24875316#history/1203648373 The Yasuo was in Gold and carried us at 22/12/16. Elise and I managed to pick off someone w/ a double stun. Able to force a fight after that so we won 3 deaths for 5. I tanked inhib turret and Elise and I just ran it down middle. This late in the game people were on 70s death timers or something ridiculous like that. It was the first time I saw someone actually skilled at Yasuo. He can be a pretty awesome champion, but skillcap is just so high right now. Plus we didn't have any champions who did knockups to synergize w/ his ult, making his performance more impressive in my opinion.
Well I went back and looked at the dude that fucked us with Fizz. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/32293851#ranked-stats" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/3229 ... nked-stats</a> He's played a shit ton of Fizz, and was at a 60% win rate with him.
