re: Official League of Legends Thread

It just didn't make any sense. It's not like I tanked in my placements. I went 7-3. My winrate hasn't dipped below 60% at all. Bronze 3 was insanely low. Oh well. It's over. It was surprisingly easy. Obviously there were some games that I just wasn't going to win, but it wasn't nearly as hard as before.

Pretty much no one wards outside of the initial placement of trinkets. That's why carrying from the jungle is so easy. Very rarely do you have to use any other ganking path other than coming straight from river. As for helping to ward, you can always do your part, but the limit on wards doesn't really allow you to do much.


ETA: The only time there was a noticeable improvement in overall skill was in my promo to Silver and that was because I was playing people as high as Silver 3. Even then it wasn't a massive jump. Still very beatable.

I'm seeing LCS people focus almost solely on mid and bot lane for ganks. They check top every now and then, but it's to grab the turret after a gank kill, not sooner.

- Watched an interview with SK gaming in win over Roc. They asked why he focused so much on winning bot. His explanation was that top doesn't offer the same benefits as previous seasons. The two tanks bash on each other all game, but they don't do much damage. So unless he was trying to grab a kill for himself, it wasn't worth his time to help the lane.
He went on to say that the benefit of helping mid was the roam top and bot, plus dragon control for the whole game.
Bot's benefit wasn't any new information.


I'm so glad you talked me into buying Elise.
Watching her in the LCS, she's stronk.

I played her both times she was free and owned.... once was at my parents' house with a crap computer and crap internet.

Some awesome ganks...
1. brush near enemy wolves and mid outer turret... cocoon, repel, spiders, execute... lata.
2. side brush, cocoon, spider, repel, spiders, execute, flash... only one tower hit. haha.

Obviously, this may not work at higher levels, but we've had success with it as of late.

Watched alot of games recently.
I've seen them use pinks almost exclusively after the first 15 min b/c they don't die.

Typical places I'm seeing is,
1. in enemy jungle in the brush close to the river/wraiths at red buff.
Not alot of junglers make a point to roam through that brush. So, it stays a long time.

2. The brush on either side of the river. Not alot of people want to face check that brush. They'll sometimes drop a trinket, which gets the pink removed, but rinse/repeat.

3. Brush deep in enemy jungle between red and golems (but not the one attached to red buff). Not alot of people walk through that one. So, you can still get a glimpse of jungler or bot rotating up after taking golems.

Don't be scarra'd.

I'm taking my time with season 4 placements. I played 2 right out the gate and had extremely stupid and toxic teammates. It kind of scarred me.

---

I won my first 2 and didn't want to play anymore bc of all the horror stories I've heard about ranked.

Wound up 6-4 and in Bronze I.

We all have to experience the hell that is bronze eventually.

Are you playing right now?

If you're still stuck in ELO hell, maybe we can help each other out.
I'll work on building my adc prowess. I've never had so much power/damage late as when I played a fed vayne. 3-6 shotting everyone.

I'm down. I always play support Leona, Thresh or Blitz. I was giving support teemo a good run, but if no one else on the team picks tank, it severely limits him later game.

For some reason, Blitz has not been getting banned in my games. I laugh the entire time I'm landing grabs and stealing dragons

We could premade, you're aspired role is adc, dcrews a support role, I main top/jungle. Anyone in here a mid main?
