Re: Comic Books I love comic books. Favorites were Gen 13, X-Men, Preacher, and The Maxx. Re: Experimental Roles I see the appeal of Lissandra support, especially to go with a Karl Rammus. Hunny and I were living in terror, so much that Hunny didn't spec his E the entire laning phase so that he wouldn't push the lane and make us a free meal for you guys. But I also see the benefits of Teemo. TF is great on him caus
@Pacov In all seriousness, I'm not sure what was going on with you last night. Were you tilted so badly that you didn't realize that you were actually playing worse than the friends that were supposedly trolling you? Do you actually not realize that you make folks play worse when you're making non-stop sarcastic/negative comments about how they're playing and how the games going? It's great that you wanna ex
[quote who="pacov" reply="4278" id="3402364"] well, new ranked team went 5/0. That apparently places you in silver 1. So...woo.... silver 1... we did it. ... [/quote] We should scrimmage!
I think you could have an all Teemo war and still be able to have a different skin for each.
[quote who="pacov" reply="4260" id="3401384"] Both Thunder and karl are on the hunt for gold II (both at gold III now). karl at 91 lp, thunder at 75[/quote] Playing Ranked for me right now is more of a litmus test for how how good my Solo lane skills are. Right now the Support Meta seems to involve having to buy 5 Oracles, 10 pink wards, 15 extra greens, and of course have all three Ghost Wards out at all time. Playing my best role has never been so monoto

To be fair, I doubt not burning his summoners was a decision. My guess is it was just a misplay. I personally tend to play my wor

Otherwise plays at their blue become very difficult for me if I have no clue what anybody on their team is doing. But anyway, just throw a ward on blue with an Amumu jungle.

I only watched a few minutes of your guys first game cause Twitch TV replays are super shitty on my work connection even when YouTube can stream World's without a hitch. You guys went up against 5 Diamond players your first game and decided not to follow extremely basic Blue invasion defense protocol when you had a Mummy jungler. All the sadness that happened afterward could probably be traced back to no one watching the center river invasion route, and I feel any recriminations o
Karl, are those the splitters that cost $7.99 at Radio Shack? Give me your address, I'll send you one of the ones I have in my junk drawer.
I queued up with some friends the other night that have a fairly low MMR and went against a 200 something win Udyr top lane. That didn't feel right. Not sure what it would be like beating up on people who have been playing League for a week. I'm not judging you, especially since I used to smurf it up with my IRL high school buddies so I've had a few noob stomp sessions in my time. However, that was a while back and I can't imagine how much worse it woul
So I was playing a little bit of ranked last night and decided to bust out the ol' Zyra pick since Sona was taken and I was laning with a Caitlyn. Played pretty well I think, but it really didn't matter since the other teams Morde just demolished our Fizz and got out of control. It was way late in the game when I finally noticed the summoner name of their Morde... "You cannot defeat the ZenGod that is some bullshit!" Our team lost but Zen and I had a good l
[quote who="pacov" reply="4189" id="3396057"] Trying to corral both zen and hunny at the same time is pretty freaking challenging. [/quote] I learned that apparently it's the solely the jungler's responsibility to ward for top while watching that game. Didn't know that.
[quote who="pacov" reply="4143" id="3394483"]Thunder thinks its inappropriate to call out folks like that. I'll take that under advisement. You make a supposition to defend someone without any knowledge of the actual game.[/quote] It's a simple fact that GP10 Quints aren't as good as LS/AD Quints. I didn't need to watch the game to be able to point out the possibility that your rune situation might have thrown off Ms Swan's game. You can
[quote who="pacov" reply="4141" id="3394434"]It's legitimate criticism and not meant to be hurtful... unlike the implication that I perhaps lost my lane because I didn't have 2 lifesteal quints + 1 ad quint and that my mmr has caught up with me.

So, what part of what I said w
[quote who="pacov" reply="4135" id="3394233"] Last game, swan under performs a bit imo bot lane resulting in some problems. Their bot was pretty soft and some misplays on his side hurt us quite a bit. I feel like i could have carried quite a bit and dominated bot with a little better supporting.

[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="4072" id="3392473"] There's a reason that it took Thunder 500 games to get to gold maining support despite the fact that he is a very good support. I mean, there are a lot of people who we play that are higher ranked than Thunder but are much lesser players (some of them feed pretty much every in house...). But they got higher in solo queue because they don't main support.[/quote] Now first of all, thank you for saying nice things
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="4067" id="3392441"] Eh, I don't think that WW is particularly counterable if you know what you are doing. I mean, how many junglers are going to do more than WW if fed regardless of counters? You are basically looking at Hecarim and nobody else (Jax doesn't count because he is too risky - any competent counterjungler can completely take him out). I'll give you that I should probably know how to play Hecarim, but the fundame
Re: Karl Aside from his bad luck in promo series and being trolled by friends and elo decay, I think one of his main issues is that he plays junglers that have some hard counters. I remember he posted a game where he got fed as hell as WW and still lost. I thought to myself "That's not going to matter if they have a Lulu on the other team. Or their fed carry buys a QSS and he's playing a 2nd in champ like WW as an initiator cause his team doesn't have anyone el

[quote who="pacov" reply="3988" id="3389307"] In house games - I'm tired and not going to go into this much atm, but I was extremely disappointed at our showing in game 1. What we saw in game 2 was what I expected to happen. That's entirely based on bot lane, btw... so please don't take offense. I thought we'd crush hard bot lane and instead got worked all game long. Game 2... well, that wasn't a problem.[/quote] If you hadn't gotten slee

Re Cow's Corki Experience: Yeah, the Orianna completely outlaned him even though she died once 1v1 due to underestimating him. He got three kills from the team fight cleanup... but that IMO was because your team didn't realize how dangerous his R was... 1. Not sure your team would have won the team fight that Corki got a triple on so handily if they had been facing a different mid... one that had something the kids are referring to as "CC". 2. Don't t
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="3914" id="3387653"] With regards to teams: I'm fine with having captains picks. But, regardless of the method, people have to realize that stomps are going to happen a reasonable percentage of the time. I mean, if you look at reasonably even pro teams play a best of 3 series, a lot of times one team will stomp in one game, but the other team will win the next. LoL is just set up in a way such that a game with reasonably
