re: Official League of Legends Thread

The community has a way of ruining everything that is fun.

In URF yesterday, I had an Annie Sit by inner-turrets in base b/c as Jax in bot lane... i didn't want to sit around and get poked to death vs a Ziggs/Caitlyn.

So, I left... went farm, ganked lanes, but it was stupid to keep dying and getting harrassed.

Totally toxic, Annie asked for report before 3:00min mark. Was butt hurt like a little girl.

Everyone wants to be super try-hard. Once the novelty wears off, so does the fun.
People put too much of their personal worth in whether they win or lose the game.

As much as I liked URF, it's getting time for it to go. People are only playing the super-OP champs to win instead of either playing champs they enjoy or playing new champs to learn.

RIP URF.

ETA: I'm gonna jungle some tonight. I wonder how OP smite is when you can use it 3-4 times on Dragon.

Basically they are coming out with a new game mode every few months to entertain people. One for All, Hexakill, URF, etc. They stated that these aren't going to stick around forever, but they are always available to come back temporarily. How many game modes can there be at once? I don't think any more than what we have now. Like you said Dominion has very low involvement. Traditional Summoners Rift, ARAM, Dominion, + 3 more of the Featured Game Modes that have already been released + the ones that have yet to be released. Seems like a lot.

Dominion and that other game mode (I can never remember it) can be retired if it's solely about game mode numbers. No one plays that shite

Twisted Treeline? Lots of people do ranked 3's.

Fkn got up to use the bathroom and picks go way faster than I thought and I get kicked out for not getting back in time.

So you're the guy I'm wishing hateful shite upon when that 9th player doesn't accept....

At least that's understandable. I don't get people who immediately decline...why even join the queue at that point?

What if they kept it around and did a weekly ban list like they do with free champs?

---

Eventually, someone would have to play the crap tier champs.

They had to ban those champs. They were godtier and consumed all of the picks/bans; the heals and shields were just too strong.

- Alistar, Sona, & Soraka could heal through just about anything. Unless you 100-0'd them, any damage you got on them was useless.
- Skarner could tank whole teams and turrets & Heca-copter was soo broken.
- Nid's heal and spears were so annoying. Kayle ulting every 12 sec with a 6 sec duration... Only a 6sec window to kill her.
* And if these ever made it through picks/bans. You better hope they were on your team.

The ban list is mostly irrelevant to me.

As to me. I don't own any of them.
It was a pain to play against them.

Ziggs is a douche early game with the bombs. After everyone gets ult, he's not as big of an issue.

I really enjoy this game mode to practice champs and skill shots.
My ashe Ults were nasty yesterday. I was hitting them from crazy angles and turning fights around from across the map.
Ganks and turret dives are easy post-6. Lock up their main threat and our team blows them up.

Had several kills by Ulting to a turret... waiting to time the TP... getting there just after the ult hit and blowing someone up. I'm such a stinker.

I think I'm gonna spam Ori/Ahri next to work on mechanics.
I think I'm done playing Ashe, Vayne, Malph, & Jax in this mode.

His Q is just so damn strong all game. So long as you're with a buddy, ziggs is dangerous, or at least I think so.

---

His laning is super tough. Constant Q's and 2-3 mine fields.

I can usually keep people backed off with Ori's ball or Ashe's Q until lvl 3-4 when people get their gap closers. But not Ziggs. At lvl-2, he pushes almost everyone out.
Only leblanc in lane has helped me go even vs a Ziggs.

But once everyone has their ult, his poke isn't as dangerous. You can dodge his ult... and he's good at zoning/poking, but not 1v1'ing.
You def need to 2v2 with him to have a chance vs CC and assassins.

Assassins and CC seem to rule this game mode.

I tried Elise, but her advantage in normal mode is the ability to toggle through 6 spells (whereas everyone else has just 3-4).
She just gets out-scaled soo hard that she ends up being a support/split pusher.

CC is great and all, but damn that invisibility.

Brand has a permastun. If he gets you locked up.... you can't even flash out.

Morgana is virtually unkillable with blackshield and that damn binding.

Anyone with invisibility are the only ones I couldn't 1v1 as ashe. Eve, Wukong, Shaco, Talon, Khaz, etc. I even bought the sweeper trinket to get the reveal... b/c noone uses pinks.

I just think that even with that ult CC stun, Ashe doesn't have enough damage dealing abilities to lane without the team.
There is alot of poke from the W.
But the Q is just a minor slow & E does nothing.

Vayne was pretty Filthy with the Condemn almost always up.

I wanna experiment with crazy builds... like 5 blood thristers or rabadons.

Most of my champ pool doesn't benefit from Earth.
I don't mid lane much... so I don't play all of those CD-based, mana-hungry champs.

I might grab Yi. He was hella-strong with that Alpha strike and speed boost always up.

I don't remember what his ult does.
But I saw a tutorial video from a Korean Challenger Yi main

You can dodge turret shots, ults, and crit all 5 member of the opposing team using his Q.
.... which in Urf is up nearly 100% of the time.
