Krazikarl

Well, I'm in scenic Oklahoma City for the next few days. It is very exciting. I kind of feel that this hotel lied to me about "high speed" internet access.

I've been too busy being amazing at Overwatch. I'm going to be gone for the weekend, but we should play some ranked 5's next week if people are around since that is back.

1v2 isn't viable in Diamond+ because it is generally understood the jungler should show up as soon as the wave hits the tower for a 3v1 tower dive. I think that even Plat players can consistently pull of 3v1 tower dives. Once that dive happens the game is basically over for the top laner - they take the death and usually lose a few waves to the tower, which puts them way too far behind the curve. People don't really double jungle any more since jungle camps do

RANKED OVERWATCH TODAY. I'm pretty sure I'm a Diamond Overwatch player, so this will be easy.

I will probably be late. Or maybe not. We will see.

Who is the 8th? Pacov is too afraid.

Well, even though we threw, I thought that everybody was trying to win and everything so that made the game fun at least. Throws happen sometimes.

If the goal is to hang out and have fun with pals and screw around there is a wonderful game mode for that. Normals. Or maybe ARAM. The thing that sets me off more than anything is the real inconsistency. If we want to build silly items its "LOL, we are just having fun". If we want to do a 1 man rush of their base on support while losing our own, its "HAHA, its just for funsies". If we want to play a really strange support with no practice full AP, its ju

It's not about me being counter jungled. I can handle being counter jungled. The problem was that I was being counter jungled while my mid lane was 0/3/0, my top lane was down 34 to 97 in CS and had rushed negatron cloak into a darius (gotta get that zrot portal), and we started 0-8 against them in like 5 minutes. At that point there is nothing that can be done, and there is nothing that is going to be learned from the game since its just a curb stomp. I a

It has become clear that I can't play ranked any more with pacov's groups in ranked games. The combination where people don't care whether we win or lose and a ranked game is incredibly frustrating. I honestly don't understand the insistence that we have to play ranked when the goal is to try new things out and not care about winning. But there we are. Of the last 7 games with pacov and his group, 4 have been complete troll fests. It is s

[quote who="pacov" reply="2885" id="3634900"] Let's see... I induced maximum karl rage the other night by playing cass support in a ranked in response to my adc picking teemo. We actually did OK, but it was a dick move... prompted by some shitbox going teemo adc, but a dick move all the same. #5lpforadodge would have been the right response... but I'm reminded of office space and Michael Bolton. Why should I change my name when he's the one who sucks. Anywho

I think that Riot was listening to Peter's screams when he was playing Malz a few days ago with us. That new passive.

[quote who="pacov" reply="2824" id="3631111"] But, very importantly to me, I very rarely just play games to screw around. Whatever I'm playing, even if I'm trying out runes and masteries, I'm playing to win. I want to play with folks who really desire to get better and are willing to work at it - not folks that are unable to adapt to their teammates, etc. [/quote] [quote who="pacov" reply="2824" id="3631111"] It never really occur

I think that Boaz just probably doesn't know how to play against the new champ. The new champ is supposed to be VERY vulnerable at close range since you can get inside the stars. So if you can dash inside and stay inside the star halo, you can mess him up (since you can't insta proc the stun either).

Thats because I'm the only person who plays him.

So I'm generally not going to blow a flash there when the death isn't going to result in an objective for the other team (they didn't get the mid tower) and it puts me at risk of dying myself. You can say that it was "completely safe", but I was pretty sure Lux had her bind up (she did, she used it right where I would have flahsed into in the video) and I thought she had her ult up too. When you combine that with a Mundo who can dive towers very easily, a support can d

That's it, I'm building a new computer. The motherboard has always been a bit bad on this one, and its getting worse. Plus the whole thing is a bit old anyway. Anyway, I'll be out of town for the weekend for work, so I'll see you guys next week.

IS THAT A FIRST PICK SUPPORT POPPY BY FNATIC? WHY WOULD YOU PLAY ANYTHING ELSE?

The problem with putting everything into E is that you can't use it too much offensively. That is, if you are just throwing out E's all over the place, you screw yourself against a decent opponent if you miss one - Zyra with E down means the opponent gets to own lane for 12 seconds. So you have to hold it quite a lot. But Q is a harass tool that you can afford to miss sometimes. Your ADC doesn't get zoned out a bunch if you miss one. So a Q max le

[quote who="pacov" reply="2580" id="3613190"] Ah righto. I kind of suck with her as a mid (most of my solo lanes are smeh). Think you might be onto something with trying to 1 trick pony her a bit. I'll put in some reps on her mid sometime soon though. I'm about a million times more comfortable as a support. You've put in a ton of work on kali and its most often fun to play with you in lane. re: maxing E v Q as a support, h

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="41" id="3611815"] I think Krazikarl has it figured out. Thanks to that insight, I can see how none of the SW movies were intended as stand-alone, self-contained films in the traditional sense. They have been the focal point of a vast social/business structure that has been unbelievably successful; the hooks, if you will. They are just the biggest pieces of the fabric of what has been the SW phenomenon. Viewed that way, Lucas is even more

[quote who="starkers" reply="33" id="3611291"] And how many people stay away from crap movies in droves? Not too many! There hasn't been a notable box office flop in ages. [/quote] Um, what? Just in 2015, Fantastic 4, Jupiter Ascending, Tomorrowland, and Pan lost their studios ~$100 million EACH. I think that 2014 wasn't so bad, but 2013 had winners like 47 Ronin, which is believed to be the worst box office flop ever.

[quote]The single most common excuse I hear for this film is that it's fun as an action film. But can't you also say that about the prequels? I honestly think the only reason people are saying this movie is way better than the prequels is because hating on the prequels has become a fad, "Oh yea, at least it isn't as bad as the prequels hurr dur". [/quote] Not really. You should probably just watch Plinkett's very famous reviews of the prequels (especia

[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="2517" id="3610194"] It's a strong buff for champions with a good early game like renekton and should be valued more when we are playing with champions like renekton. That being said it is also a very dangerous buff to take since it does a lot of damage. It should only be taken when the top lanes or mid lane are dead and we know where the enemy jungles is. [/quote] Exactly. The problem is that it does a TON of damage, so if you get caught

[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="2489" id="3609129"] I think hydra first is fine as long as you are not behind/been camped all game and your early dominance is gone. Hydra is a great snowball item but pretty aweful when you are in the trying-to-salvage-something-out-of- this-lane-phase mode when you just need to build full tank and hope for late game team fights where you can cc the riven you fed off your adc. [/quote] Tiamat builds into an item that is more tanky than BC.
