Re: Tank Karma Sounds like a neat idea... could she be good top lane? She'd have crazy sustain which might get her by along with her tanky, even if her escapes are lacking. You kinda want more DPS from a mid lane I'm thinking, so unless you're going for a "Protect the ____" comp, that might not be that great. Anyway you do it, just for the love of God, try not to split push too much with her. Re: 12 Day Work Sprees Hopefully
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="3451" id="3370052"] I didn't see exactly what pacov did after he left jungle, but he should have been able to back and buy a sword with that first blood gold. That should have been enough to make up for being behind a bit in xp. If he bought boots instead...well...yeah.[/quote] He bought a Doran's Blade which was solid... but later he maxed E instead of W, and bought a PD before getting a BFS. So yeah, some "wonky" plays, aw
@Karl Yeah, after watching the replay I see that being ahead in lane wasn't as helpful as I thought... but still, "kept it together OK" isn't the ideal result of having the most dominant early game lane bully ADC who got your team's first blood money go up against a late game ADC. Hec was behind from the invade, but you fell behind a little as well having to save bot lane with a pre 6 WW gank. Was one of the wonky Vayne kills this one?</
Re: Nice Compliment About My Supporting Thanks man! Re: Getting Reported I've watched streams where you've reported strangers for not doing what you asked them to. Not for griefing... but just disagreeing. We've all had games playing with you, where you do much worse than the randoms you've reported in the past because you've gotten frustrated. Going on tilt is one thing and we've all been there, but being
@Karl Damnit, we've had this argument before haven't we? It's not as fun debating with you as it is with other people since you tend to actually be right. Yeah, truth is I slipped back into using Jayce almost exclusively because he's my best top laner and I'm playing ranked a lot. Think I need to play some more normal games where I can be more assertive about playing a position I'm terrible at until I can get some other champs dialed in.
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="3412" id="3367779"] I thought that Jungle Yi was actually a thing that happens a bit at high ELO. Yi really isn't that bad in jungle.[/quote] Jungle Yi has got the lowest win rate as a jungler (41%) in Diamond+ level play and 47.5% for Gold/Plat, but the site I like to use gets kinda confused when people pick up Spirit items so that might be off a little... or a lot. Considering that you're a proponent of top laners being tanky
[quote who="pacov" reply="3409" id="3367766"] any other feedback thunder? I check tomorrow. Thx![/quote] Nah, I actually quit watching cause the internet was way too slow at work to load up the archived stream... like for every 15 minutes it would load 1 minute of footage or something crazy. I'd go do some things and come back to see you clear one camp before it started buffering again. The enemy jungler was actually Diamond IV so it was silly of me
June 5th, 2013 I will attempt to observe a wild Pacov in the jungle and will jot down some notes as I do! 3:30 Pacov has smited red buff and is level 3! His mid lane is pushed but top might be gankable... I expect him to press Tab to see if Jayce has placed his ward or even has wards. Oh... no Tabbing, going off to farm wolves instead. Jayce is hard to gank but his Jax should have a gap closer and stun specced at this point so it is stran
[quote who="Bryff" reply="3397" id="3367297"] Pacov and Hedgie on same team=2 plats on other team and Bryff gets absolutely destroyed. I think that when we do normal teams the elo goes waaay up. [/quote] Don't feel bad, I've been getting my ass handed to me in top lane last few times queuing up with Hedgie/Cow/Karl last night... like seriously demolished every time. :( Re: Pacov's MMR I'm at a lower level of Ranked
Re: Jayce vs Irelia She's definitely a counter to him and in fact, that's who I play when the other team picks him and I have to go top. Jayce is pretty OP, so I'd only pick Irelia over him normally unless Karl doesn't want me to pick a top with someone with a gap closing slow, and knock back, a group speed booster, and a long range finishing ability because he's hard to gank for and doesn't have any CC. Re: Naut Critique You should
A friend the other day invited me to duo with him in ranked... checked his gaming history and nothing but 10 ARAMs in a row. Thanks, but no thanks. Signed on the other day to see what sort of champions and roles my friends were into nowadays. Apparently there is a super OP champ named Random that never gets banned out? Yeah... so I've kinda been making an effort to get people on my friends list who are around my level and interested at getting better (at Summon
My internet at work has been super slow... I can't even let them get started downloading and watch them later at my leisure. I did try watching a little of the stream with Pete while the movie was playing. That dude's a natural! The MST3K boys should hire him...
@Pacov Blue donations are a tough call. Mid Lee Sin/Rumble/Kat... huge waste in my opinion and part of the strength of sending these champs mid is that your jungler can have all the blues. But Zed getting blue back in his OP heyday was obscenely good and taking it for yourself as Nautilus wouldn't be what's good for the team. Gangplank mid? That I don't know about... infinite harass/health sustain on a lane bully seems like a good thing to me but I
On another note, awesome job in your final ranked game last night! Stupid internet was cutting out, so the last thing I got to see was your ult coming off CD right when it looked like the other team was going to ace you... but instead, pentakill for your Tris! Sorry I missed the rest of that one, what I saw was pretty intense...
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="3343" id="3363750"] to be fair - GP mid is a "win lane, lose game" sort of champion. [/quote] Are you kidding me? I don't know if Pacov could have trolled his own team much harder. -Bitching at Swan for not warding after letting Swan (who I assume might have been on his way to ward?) get murdered a screen away while he got 3 CS instead. -Fighting (not getting caught, but picking a fight!) 1v4 and then bitching about
[quote who="pacov" reply="3334" id="3363351"] edit - didnt read mr karl's post - off to bed - check out tomorrow. I assume he commented on my amazing plays and how he wishes he could emulate me. [/quote] He kinda blathered on for a while, so I'll just paraphrase it for you: When your team sucks you shouldn't group with them and try and get them back in the game, because they suck and deserve to lose. You should instead split push or go off an
Re: Vlog Funny how some champs have a strong win percentage at low levels but completely fall off at higher levels, while others are strong across the board. After seeing that video I got curious to check out LoLking myself and yeah, there's Amumu the lord and master of Bronze level play... Silver he's a respectable 9th... Gold and above? Mummy is MIA on the top ten. Naut however... I've been shamelessly using him to boost my MMR when I have to jungle.
I felt like that guy Milton from Office Space when trying to ask where I was laning so I could pick my champ... Three guesses who was playing the role of Lumbergh... he was talking really loud and I couldn't get a word in edgewise.
The meta changes Bryff. Did you receive that advice back when boots + 3 was the way to start ADCs? When you received 3% LS from masteries? When Vamp Scepter was cheap as hell? Do watcha like man, just trying to help.
[quote who="Bryff" reply="3309" id="3361785"] I don't have runes for irelia...that's why I asked.[/quote] Flat AD Reds and Quints, Flat Armor and MR is the most popular and what I use for her... any other deviation hasn't worked too well for me. [quote who="Bryff" reply="3309" id="3361785"] scaling armor against a non ad mid is fine.[/quote] In Silver IV? Lots of things probably work great against your opponents th
I probably should mention that I've made some new friends very recently while playing ranked and I had a couple of them on the other night and thought we might be able to get an inhouse going, but instant ARAM re-queue OP. Just assumed (specially after that screenshot with the unhappy sounding message?) that ARAM was all that mattered to anyone else and people were taking it pretty seriously, so I'm glad to hear people are still into SR every once in a while. Next time I h
Pacov, the North American Platinum Hedgehog is a devious and dangerous creature! I urge you to not to fall for it's snookery and misdirection sir. They will play champs that they haven't played in months in games with us so that we underestimate them. While the rest of us blame bad teammates and OP champs on our losses like God intended for us to, they tryhardedly analyze their play and ponder how they could have done better... tantamount to cheating if you ask me!
So... my sad tale of ranked goes something like this: I duo'd with a platinum level player (Hedgie of course) to get my gold border in S2, and duo'd with him in my placement matches to get put in Siliver I. After that, Hedgie was busy with real life for a while so I decided I'd play a few games on my own and see what would happen. What happened is I found out I wasn't that good at this game on my own for a variety of reasons. When you're used
