Re: Bot Lane Taking A Camp I believe the Support level 2 thing is a cheese strat for Leona only. Haven't heard of people doing it with other champions but who knows. Leona is one of the best at doing camps. Leona has an extremely strong level 2 and a horrible level 1. A level 2 Thresh walking into lane isn't nearly as scary since you can actually hide behind minions and stuff. Might work though. But keep in mind your ADC will be the last of
Re: Support Roams I played an inhouse with MadCast a little while back playing Corki and had a good Thresh in lane with me. Good mechanically. We got really far ahead from a gank. When I cam back from my first shop I was ready to zone/kill our opponents, then take a Dragon. So the Thresh roams mid. They spot him and their bot lane proceed to zone me out while he hides in a bush while the enemy mid hides under tower. For what seemed like five minut
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="2152" id="3594966"] Awesome stuff Thunder! [/quote] Thanks buddy. The 5th game in the series had a really rough start. That was some good advice about not giving up that you gave me!
Thanks man![quote who="psychoak" reply="2148" id="3594910"] It doesn't just sound good on paper, it performs quite admirably according to the stats. Ardent Censer has a 60%+ win rate at all tiers, just above Zeke's, and a 79% win rate on Morg in particular, beating Zeke's handily. [/quote] All tiers? So Bronze V too? If so, that would really throw off the statistics. There is a dark place in EloHell where 4v5's and even 4v4's have
[quote who="pacov" reply="2142" id="3594840"]Any thoughts?[/quote] I wouldn't give up on Zhonya's quite yet. Some of the top solo queue Morg supp players still seem to build it on her quite often. And it's still the top build on Champion.GG http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Bigninjahwang Think you might be taking the pros builds too seriously. They're the best of the best an
Yeah, grouchy old men. Sounds about right. Goddamned kids and their extra complicated champions. Back in my day not every champion had a gap closer. Now? Each champ that comes out has like 2-3. Sometimes in the same ability. Re: Gold Digger Supports Gold Digger Morg has lots of potential. Kinda reminds me of when Cloud 9 came on the scene with Zyra/Ashe bot. I think they'd feed some farm to Zyra so she'd hit a powerspike
Ugh. Someone should get fired over the whole Morde thing. Or transferred to the Northern Russia Server. Feel it's pretty lame only having 6 bans anyway but having essentially only 5 bans in worlds because Riot wanted to force their garbage skill cap PvE melee bot carry champion for people who can't kite good and want to learn to do other things good too into the game. He shoulda gotten Urgot nerfed until they could tune him properly or removed from Worlds.
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="2097" id="3592320"] Had a lovely night topped with a rotten cherrry haha. Rawr, karl and I played some threes and went 5-0 completely wrecking every game. We played a 4v5 game for the last game and lost to the team of 4. Pretty epic fail on our part haha. [/quote] I've won three 4v5s while playing with Gotnades in the past week. That mans MMR compared to his skill is just not close to accurate right now. It's like queuing
I'm totally cool with you playing whatever you want, however you want. Especially your Rune setup now that it's how you play your Ranked games and not just on the Ranked 5's Team and Normals. Didn't start the Reddit thread to prove anything. Just wanted to know if I was overreacting to how bad your setup would hurt our early game and chances to win lane and how I could personally compensate. I got my answers so I'm good. Ended up li
A couple people pointed out my title of the Reddit thread was out of line. My apologies. I think I have a less harsh definition of what being 'trolled' is than most people, which leads to some misunderstandings. Also I thought I'd get more hits with that instead of "Question About GP/10 Runes" [quote who="pacov" reply="2080" id="3591235"]Less cool in my mind when you are deciding, before a lane phase has even begun, that a rune decision I'm making is
Re: Gold Digger Supports Pacov, I'm fine with you thinking outside the box and open minded to the idea that the pros might outweigh the cons with your GP/10 strat. However it is very frustrating when you get upset with my performance in lane when you're running an experimental rune setup. I went on Reddit to get some input from other players from outside our group of friends on how much your rune choices effect our ability to win our lane, get CS, etc. I al
[quote who="OMG_Shiro" reply="2054" id="3584823"] I really think we could have brought that last game back, but we lost the moment everyone tilted. I don't really care who we pick to shot call, but having 2 people trying to call out orders just confuses everyone else. [/quote] Agreed. Tilting is bad. I'm fine with multiple shot callers. It usually works out better than it did in that game. But when there are different ideas on
[quote who="pacov" reply="2051" id="3584637"] In solo queue my mentality had been disgust for my adc if I give them a great setup and they are picking their butt and miss it. Or they just do dumb things and get themselves chunked for no reason.[/quote] The two go hand in hand for me. Sometimes I'm too tunneled on CS or am out of position or just don't have the mechanics to capitalize effectively on your setups. You end up a lot more poor when laning with me i
[quote who="pacov" reply="2039" id="3584113"] wow.. from 88-120 ping - at 35ms. Crazy difference - feels super crisp [/quote] Awesome! So does this mean you're going to be looking to take ADC back on the Cow's Ranked Team? Fine by me since the new servers feel far from 'crisp' for me so I might be better back at Support when you guys need me for a game. Are you going to make a push for Diamond this season now that your ping

Was just poking a little fun at you and everyone else (myself included) who gets really excited when they see initial PBE changes that end up never going through. Of course to be fair, sometimes they post overly complicated walls and walls of text describing fucked up reworks that actually do end up going through. Ye

Ranked Storytime With Thunder. Gather around chidren. So I make it into Gold III promos last night. Team and myself all did really well in the game to get me in. I'm now in champ select with two of the people who were on the enemy team the game before. They had pretty much just given up and started tilt splitting before the FF at 20, so I wasn't that stoked to be playing with them this game. And there was someone who called Support Singed and pi

[quote who="pacov" reply="2005" id="3579121"]Side note - from what I've observed, rito has something in effect that adds another 10 ping or so once you hit their live servers. For instance, in PBE, I can get 70 ping. On live, 80. Probably is just 2 diff locations of the servers, but I don't know for sure.[/quote] They aren't moving the PBE servers this time, which means they probably never made the move up to Portland either. You probably just have
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="2002" id="3579011"] Thunder is gonna get /destroyed/ [/quote] Pinging Portland, gives me 95 ping which is what I play at most of the time. I'm testing random Chicago servers at 122 ping which is what I play at currently about 10% of the time. Playing with the extra latency doesn't feel great, but hopefully that's mostly because it throws off my timing. Might be able to adapt pretty well if 122 becomes the us
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="1983" id="3575980"] I watched that one as well. Excellent game definitely one of the best of the season entertainment value wise. [/quote] It was definitely a... game of throws.
Only problem I have is that they're only using the UI for Normals and have the old style for Ranked. It's hard to get used to one when it keeps switching on you. But I'm sure they need to test it out first so whatever.
