re: Official League of Legends Thread

I'll load the LOL LCS Highlights on Apple TV and watch the games from the past weekend for both EU and NA.

If there was a complete stomp of a good team or an action packed game, I'll watch the full game for learning or entertainment.

Basketball outside of the playoffs don't interest me much. And I couldn't care less about TV shows. So, it's a good way to spend some free time.
I get to learn and appreciate the skill.

Sivir got nerfed and I has a sad

Yeah. I had a feeling that was coming. So, I haven't spent much time on her.... although I did purchase her (with real money) before she became FOTM.

Her utility has shown to be pretty powerful in LCS or pre-mades, but she still has issues in soloQ.

With ADC's being diminished in the current meta, I don't see why they wanted to nerf ANY ADC's. If anything, they need to fix the top lane. It seems like it's Renek vs Shyv every game. So boring, even the top laners hate it.

You spent real money on sivir? She's 450 ip, 3 or 4 games and she's yours

I don't remember which ones I bought with real money and which ones I picked up with IP.
My intention was to mean that she is in the short list of champions that are unlocked... some of which I purchsed with real money.

Here's the justification that I know I don't need to give.
I'm using my IP to buy my Lvl 3 runes, and I got tired of being limited to the free champs and having to learn new champs every week.

I've spent a ton of hours on the game over the past 6 months. So, I don't mind giving riot some of my money as a reward for the entertainment they've provided.

You can. One rune page cost 6300ip.

Interesting. Show's my league awareness

Still fricking expensive

ETA: I've been using 3 rune pages since I started playing.

One for AP
One for AD
One for Support

I bought one rune page with IP so that I could have a generic AD, AP, & AS page.
It completely cleaned out my IP bank.

Basic math showed that I would have to play a game a day for nearly a year to buy the 7 page rune bundle with IP. Of course, that meant buying no runes, champions, or anything else.

I broke down and paid the $20 in RP for the bundle. Totally worth it to me.
There are champs that need Magic or Hybrid Pen instead of basic marks... Some need Lifesteal or Movespeed instead of flat quints.
Playing a diverse champion pool and the unpredictability of champion select causes issues with the generic approach, especially based on matchups.

Although the benefits are minor versus a generic page, the ROI is acceptable b/c it increased my game knowledge and allowed me to fully utilize champ/matchup flexibility.

Full disclosure... I only use about 6-7 of them consistently. I haven't even touched 3 of them. But, I only have about 10-20% of the champs. So, I'm sure that when I increase my mid champ pool... I'll need them.

I never liked playing annie support. Not sure why.

Nidalee support is always fun but her lack of CC can make her useless later game as she isn't generating as much gold as she would playing mid or top. Early poke and heal is pretty nice though.

I always liked Nami. Every one of her abilities is extremely useful and very effective and her bubble and ult keep her relevant late game.

I hate playing support b/c all of the SoloQ ADCs I've played with suck soo bad.

It's frustrating to have an adc that isn't very good, but it only bothers me if they die every 2-3 minutes.

FFS, even if you aren't good, just farm and don't die. Simple gameplan.

ETA: Point in case, just played with a cait, jarvan and ahri....none of them had any kills the entire game...ZERO. I had 1 and our jayce top had 8...that's it.

Our Cait proceeds to spam Q, runs out of mana quickly and stands 1 foot away from leona at all times...

Another issue..I am Bronze I and had all Bronze IV and V on my team along with a level 28, while the other team had silvers and a gold player...go home match making, you're drunk.

I'm level 17 right now and just got put in a game with all level 30s, 3 of which had over 500 wins and one had like 900... I have 40 lol didn't check their divisions though but I would assume the udyr we played against was at least a plat player. He went 16/0/9 and straight face raped my entire team
