Karl, Pacov's new favorite jungler is Dr. Mundo according to Champion.GG. Just jot down anything Mundo related you know about this preseason's jungle and that should be good.
[quote who="pacov" reply="2335" id="3601715"]Let's talk about the normal setup (eg not what you use). Is shift right click the same as what you have your left mouse bound to? Eg the only difference between you and me is you left click, I hold shift and right click. That right?[/quote] I think that's the default but I don't know for sure. Haven't played with having to press A or Shift to Attack Move Click in a really long time.
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="2333" id="3601589"] We have the same setup... but right-click is whatever the normal right-click is. Sometimes you have to shift+left or middle-click to click the minimap or the store though.[/quote] This. I'm using Shift-Left to fulfill the role of the old Left Click. You only have to do it on some things like the mini-map where Attack Move Click is a valid command. Everywhere else like when you're in the shop, L
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="2309" id="3601213"] Don't play ap champions.[/quote] You silly goose! AP champions will still be great... As Supports. With the buffs to ambient gold, Support item gold, bailout gold for Support at 12 minutes, global bounty gold, etc... only Supports are gonna be rich enough to buy dem expensive ass AP items. Tell you what... Big Daddy Thunder Sweets is gonna let you be his Bottom Bitch Support when he goes ADC. Gonn
[quote who="pacov" reply="2299" id="3600875"] #sc2 expansion is live NOW[/quote] Sorry, no Bitchcraft II tonight. Our homey true Bryff needs his team together for some Ranked Rewards. [quote who="pacov" reply="2299" id="3600875"]#karljustgothisfirstpentaithink[/quote] Stoked that he got one of his own after getting so many other people Pentas by getting them fed with awesome ganks.
[quote who="pacov" reply="2294" id="3600805"]The comedic styling of thunder "you decided not to gank for bot lane because someone took your role" cleese. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [/quote] Thank you folks! You've been a great crowd. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
[quote who="pacov" reply="2291" id="3600760"]Talk about things you are interested in and skip trying to dig up pointless drama please.[/quote] Something I'm interested in: Sorting out misunderstandings on this forum so we can all get along better in game. So for instance, if you essentially say "I had a bad Rengar game... pretty much because my team picked champions I couldn't gank for. And because Boaz forced me into my second best role." well, I mi
Boaz was nice enough to play Jungle for us in the two games you weren't around for since we had someone that kinda had to go Support. Then you showed up and was nice enough to offer to fill in any role but ADC. At one point you were heading bot but then turned around and declared bot lane ungankable while it was pushing to our tower. I wasn't sure what was going on. Was it cause Soraka lanes should never be ganked even when Kalista can give her CC? Or.
[quote who="pacov" reply="2283" id="3600531"]If the play rate is super low with a high win rate, I generally assume that's either very high elo folks or one trick wonders (generally the former).[/quote] Usually. It's a good idea to check the win percentage for games played chart to see if there's a drop or lack of spiking at the 125+ mark. If you see the drop off, the champion is most likely to be a great counter pick who get's countered hard. For e
[quote who="pacov" reply="2276" id="3600216"]Yah - I wasn't trying to solve the problems or imagine the exact problems as much as trying to get anyone to even indicate if they dug the concept to find out if I was alone in my opinion or not. Sometimes it takes a really long time to get there.[/quote] You were asking two different questions. Here are my answers: Q: Would it be cool to have a reward system for being a well rounded player or have an indica
[quote who="pacov" reply="2274" id="3600161"] OK - so you personally wouldn't care to see any differentiation between a player being rated as Plat Support and as Gold Mid?[/quote] Don't get me wrong, it would be kinda cool to have rewards for getting to a tier playing different roles. I'm all about unlocking achievements in games, though nowhere near as passionate about it as you are. I just don't think it would be worth all the problems and possible
[quote who="pacov" reply="2272" id="3600150"]With that in mind, there would probably have to be something in place to factor in a players understanding of the game, etc[/quote] That would be one of the main issues. I've watched Cowsep carry a game hard in high level Korean Solo Queue as Support Master Yi. He certainly didn't need to have to play against worse players to make it fair. Mechanics and overall understanding of this games fundamentals are a bigger
[quote who="pacov" reply="2268" id="3600115"]So, ranked elo by role along w some other sort of good measure of champion skill (champion mastery 2.0) - that's what I'd like to see.[/quote] How would your system of Ranked Elo by role work? Dropping people down in MMR when playing off roles/champs wouldn't be fun and would be subject to a lot of abuse. I think they have a good way to measure champion skill right now. It's called the Krazikarl System. &
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="2263" id="3599952"]If you play solo, there will be EVEN MORE randomness and its going to take even longer to converge to your true rank.[/quote] Disagreed. Somewhat. I think it will depend on an individual players strengths and weaknesses and I think yours make you biased. You'll do great with the new system IMO. You'll thrive with more organized teams whether you are part of them or join up. Now a mechanically gift
I had the same reservations you did when I first heard about it but am now drinking Dr. Lyte's Koolaid. http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/11/red-post-collection-warding-you-ranked.html#more Here's one of the quotes that helped turn around my perspective: " We upgraded the matchmaking system to pair similar group comps together. It is possible that it might be
Not insinuating you're not a Platinum caliber player. You earned your border and sorry if it came across like I thought you didn't. I thought that Duoing was fun for you. You like to call shots, you like to talk in games, and you like to play with pals. I thought that's mostly why you Duo'd so often when playing Ranked, not just that you find people you have synergy with and can climb up to where you belong faster. You've expressed burn ou
Yeah, might have to adjust if/when I play with 1-4 buddies with the new Ranked system. [quote who="pacov" reply="2252" id="3599620"] A few good points here - specifically there being a big potential problem for people going it alone and the potential abuse at the hands of 4 man premades.[/quote] This was addressed by Lyte. False reports are going to be a bannable offense so it wouldn't be a good idea for the foursome to bully the rando. Also, repo
[quote who="pacov" reply="2248" id="3599446"] Kind of super sick of tf. I wish I had the same level of patience as some folks with just playing a champion over and over. For me, its really only a matter of time until I'm like fug this. I really dislike that he's generally dependent on his teammates and lacks a bit of kill pressure outside of the global (which again, generally relies on teammates). And I'm finding that teammates aren't always reacti
I like Boaz, but he reminds me of some of the MadCasters who would 'play for fun' back in the day. You'd get things like Trinity Force Amumu Top. And that would be fine. But then later they would get bitter and nasty about how they didn't get enough ganks and how the team should have... and then I'd get really annoyed and wonder where the "oh I just play for fun" attitude went? Boaz chooses to play Sej everywhere and other non-viable stuff and get
- TF is a high skill cap champion but it's not completely about mechanics. You tend to want to try new things all the time so Twisted Fate is someone you could come back to easier than let's say Azir, but would still be fun and rewarding to play. Wouldn't be like "I haven't played Mid in forever... guess I have to play Annie if I don't want to get beat up." Not that Ult Gold Carding is easy to do, but it's easier to pull off when you're rusty than
If you're thinking about maining TF, I hope that you stick with it long enough to find some success. He'd be the perfect champion for you.
@Karl Vi is a great champ for climbing. You know how to play Vi. You could easily just spam Vi games and get Plat. I'm guessing that instead, you're picking the 'right' champs and builds to fit a teamcomp that would win with good teammates. While playing with goombas. Ranked rewards are rewards for playing Ranked and not intended as an accurate measure of skill and ability. You don't play much ranked so the system is working as
I think there will be a big difference between Teambuilder and Teambuilder 2.0 which I like to call Rolebuilder. At first I was hesitant about them allowing people to specialize more with the upcoming Rolebuilder as I considered myself a jack of all trades. The closer I got to Plat, the more I realized what a crappy Jungler/Mid/Top I was. So yeah, now I can't wait for the new system. The current Teambuilder is a bit of a joke to me. It's for people wh
[quote who="pacov" reply="2198" id="3596828"]Maybe higher diamond folks dont' play much tb?[/quote] I wouldn't think it would be a game mode that appeals to high elo players.
If your goal was to try and use something worse than my infamous Urgot Support, you failed. Blocking Blitz pulls with spiderlings was actually something useful so I'd put it a tier above Urgot at least. Seriously though, I don't think it's that bad a concept. In spider form she's fast and has really great ganks as a jungler, so roaming with Ignite would be insane! Of course Rawr talked you into Exhaust so that was unfortunate. Not sure if you gu
