Braum is pretty cool. Played two games with him. It's gonna take a while to really see how to use him best, but I noticed that he is good for counter attacks. When the other adc/sup initiated, I would e,w to shield an take the brunt of the burst. Then q, ult followed up by my adc.

Being as that 2 of his abilities are defensive, I don't see him being able to do much without offensive assistance. ie, he won't be 1v1 anybody unless fed.

First game was a wash because top lane fed a yasuo really bad.

Second game went 1/3/14

I'd hope any support minus a fed Karma wouldn't be able to 1v1 someone.

Braum has many offensive capabilities. I've surprised people using his W offensively to hop to a minion next to a guy then proccing stun.

I dunno, Annie is pretty bursty. With some gold, she can melt people fairly quickly.

Either way, Braum seems to be a really good support to have. Only got to play in lane as an adc with him once last night, but he seems solid.

Got a quadra in ranked last night and it just made me realize that I have never had a penta. You would think I might get lucky one time in the 1000+ games that I've played.

Ok. I've been playing alot of Co-op Beg & Intermediate to develop my Cs'ing, orb walking, and skills with under-played champs.

What I've found is that I can be 7-0 and not feel that strong.
When other people are super fed, they just wreck.

Let's discuss this specific topic (not really getting into influencing the game concepts... I get that. I'd like to focus on maximizing strength.)
Could it be that your lane might not give that much gold anymore after dying so much? That you have to roam to collect the bonuses and bounties from other enemies in order to get super fed?

Being 7-0, you should have taken at least a Tier One tower, incredibly ahead of your lane opponent in cs. During this time, you should be roaming to other lanes to take their tier one tower, taking every enemy blue/red buff/dragon because you are just so far ahead. Make it to where they have to fight you (since you are ahead and will win the fight), or they have to give up an objective. It is called snowballing an advantage.

Hello Me and my cousin are looking to form a 3v3 ranked group for some fun. Looking for someone reasonably good at the game whos reliable and online fairly often. Judging from the talent of the Silver players we have played against I would assume we are atleast gold tier. If anyone would like to try a few games out with us my ursername is BlaymeAkilah.

Ahh... More global bold through objectives. That makes sense.
I was just staying in lane and focusing on perfect CS, but if I push my lane.... I can grab other objectives and get more gold than just CS and getting more worthless kills in lane.

The real key is taking your advantage, and spreading it to your entire team.

Yeah. I get that. I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about how I see one shot chunk 75-80% of someone's health.... over and over again.
Like a Nid spear... etc.

I'm thinking that just Cs'ing is letting them kinda catch up, and I never get that uber power... like show up somewhere and someone is dead.

Denying CS is as big as killing the enemy.

If I have a lead in the bot lane, that duo isn't getting any CS without losing a sizable portion of their health.

Going off track from the topic at hand, but how long does everyone here think League will last?

4th season in and I feel like the game is as popular as ever. I love playing it, and have never grown tired of it.

However, how many seasons until this game starts its downturn? I'd imagine the pro scene has everything to do with it.

This is the biggest thing. Unless you're on someone like Jax, you aren't going to win alone. Take that lead from your lane, and help the other lanes. Sitting in lane and farming to infinity is great for you, but doesn't help your team at all. Deny the other team buffs, gank other lanes, take other lane's towers, set up dragons. I automatically gank bot if I get a lead mid, because it can completely win the game if done right. You go bot, get a kill or two in the lane, then immediately get them to go to dragon since your team has all of the map control on that side. If timers are long enough, you can even get the tower and dragon if there aren't casualties or if you have jungle help. The problem with the vast majority of people in low elo is that they play Team Deathmatch instead of objective/map control. You can win a game with 15 kills as a team easier than you can win a game with a score like 45-30 if you play smart and control the map/objectives.

Yeah. This didn't seem to help me continue to separate myself from the other team. So... i decided to try this:

This was huge. I'll have to do the math, but getting a more valuable kill mid, taking the mid tower, then taking blue & dragon was worth way more than that 1-2 waves of minions.
