[quote who="psychoak" reply="1973" id="3574945"] The new hud is bland, horribly bland. It's terribly for quickly drawing information from. [/quote] True. I'm still getting used to it and it takes a split second longer to push the icon to stroke myself off on how much AP I have. But I love being able to see the whole map so much now that all the 'clutter' has been consolidated. Also really like the new Tab function where you can move
This from Lyte's Teambuilder Draft QnA: " When selecting 2 positions, you can choose one as your Primary, and one as your Secondary. We're working on ways where if you get your Secondary position too often, we'll try to make sure you get your Primary position a few times. At this time we're not allowing players to just select 1 position, even if they understand it would have longer queue times." I should like work for Riot or something. [quo
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="1967" id="3574297"] Since we know that it isn't being released this year, it'll be released during Preseason "at the earliest". If you avoid ranked during preseason, that means you have until January or February until you have to work with the new system. This means that you have, at least, 6 months to choose two "main" roles, and practice them. i figure that should be plenty of time to learn those roles.[/quote] I'm not curren
[quote who="pacov" reply="1961" id="3574098"] As I understand it, you could guarantee you and a pal get bot lane. But not who got which role - and as generally 1 fella is going to be a better adc or support than the other, its not ideal.[/quote] Well, if they system gave you two choices, I wouldn't think it would be hard to prioritize them so it only came into play for tie breakers. For instance say the system grabs a Support, Jungler, and ADC and two players
Sounds like they're still not sure what their exact plan is. Last I heard this was going to be THE mode (assuming there wasn't community outrage and hate for it) for Draft whether it was Ranked or Normals. My understanding was that they were going to keep current Teambuilder as a way for people to practice banned/popular champions and get rid of Blind to help funnel people into it as the new mode of choice for Filthy Casuals. Don't understand why bot lan
Re: Cow's Awesome Promo To Diamond IV Awesome man! I found it interesting that you had a Gold Digger Morgana on your team for your last game who went 4/1 at one point. Guess everyone who doubted Pacov's idea owes him a big apology. Not me of course. I was a fan of the setup the whole time. Re: Teambuilder The current Ranked champion select will be replaced with the Ranked Teambuilder they're working on. Nor
[quote who="psychoak" reply="1946" id="3573039"] And a headache. If you have fast eyes, such things are evil. [/quote] Plus $4,000.00 is way too much to pay for a monitor. Unless having that extra field of view gets Pacov to Diamond. Then it's totally worth and I'm gonna get one too.
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="1886" id="3567693"] Thunder had a VERY different original post + you changed from "Gnar's maintains the same power level" to "lost some of the power he had before". Your edit makes my post ... useless since we are agreeing with each other.[/quote] Sorry, thought it was late enough that no one read my original post. I'm not in the habit of erasing or changing what I put down if someones already seen it... or especially if someone
I'm not really the highest skill cap player but sometimes I manage to make a high skill cap play when I'm playing a high skill cap champ by skill capping a low health opponent that's getting away.
Yeah, I've been making a few new friends to play with as well from this 'goofy event' so I guess it's pretty cool. Kinda interesting how much Riot seems to want people to make connections with other players and to play with the friends they do have. Almost like... they feel it's good for the game and their business. Huh. Well, on a totally unrelated note... did you ever figure out that mystery on why Riot never put in an Offline mode that w
Sorry you're in a slump. Maybe you should get back into playing Ranked again? Get's you accurate feedback which helps you improve because you're playing with people who are mostly at your skill level, give or take. Let's you take games with friends less seriously, cause you can just say "Well, that's too bad my team has failed yet again. No worries though cause it wasn't Ranked." Right now none of your games are Ranked, so you
If you don't issue the attack for Leona after her empowered AA, she doesn't immediately do the third attack. There is a fast harass combo for MF where you Q an opponent then immediately click on him which almost instantly AA's him. If you don't click right away, you don't cancel the Q animation and your follow up attack is a lot slower. So to get the full effect you have to do something afterward when getting the most out of this sort of thing. Wh
[quote who="pacov" reply="1855" id="3562284"] I read that it functioned as an AA reset I think - then I toyed around with her yesterday and found that was not the case. [/quote] A lot of MF players don't take Attack Speed Quints since you can get three quick autos (if you count the Q as an AA) off from cancelling the animations. AA-Q-Move Command-AA. At least it feels fast? If you want to test it out today, we can see for sure. We both play MF without A
[quote who="pacov" reply="1853" id="3562103"] mf's q does not aa cancel - can only be strung together with aa - nothing fancy here. [/quote] ? What were you thinking was different or could be done?
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="1844" id="3561887"] Also Mad Max Fury Road was awesome. Definitely go see it. [/quote] Glad there will finally be someone who knows why I'm yelling "Oh what a day! What a lovely day!" during teamfights.
Re: Lee Sin Support I think it's totally doable and I'm fine with you playing it whenever you want. Especially when I'm with you in lane, it was fun! Just keep in mind that things like that work really well when you're the best player in the game, but if the goal is to win then having our best player on a Support with poor late game scaling isn't ideal. I don't care about winning every game but a lot of my friends seem to.
I've always heard that Riot's stance on an "offline mode" is negative which is why they haven't instituted it. Sounds like they've become more proactive in getting rid of mods from what you've said. At first you would think that this is typical shiney happy people who live in a land of gumdrops and make believe with frogs who wear silly little hats behavior from Riot. But think about it for a second Pacov. What would happen if we all disappeared?
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="1809" id="3558391"] Alister -> headbutt + Pulverize combo to hard to master, usually just knock my target away like a derp [/quote] Riot made Ali's combo into the easiest thing to do in the game recently. Turn your Smartcast Range Indicators on. Turn on Activate Ability When You Press Another Ability or whatever it's called. Hold down W until you're in range of an opponent. Keep pressing W and press Q as
[quote who="pacov" reply="1807" id="3558275"]Anyway, consider a person performing a combo involving animation canceling. Who cares. Now imagine them doing the exact same combo in precisely the same way over and over with zero instances of change. It becomes a little suspect. Also add in the same game that player managing an at base execute. It's possible the player was simply "good", but their skill level in lane indicated otherwise...[/quote]
[quote who="pacov" reply="1803" id="3558216"] Just to put this part aside, I bluntly called scripters trash and you seemed to take umbrage with that based on the distinctions you called out... yet I'm guessing you would rather folks not use scripting... which reflects my opinion; albeit less offensively/passionately.[/quote] You don't seem offensive or passionate about the issue. Only disdainful of ALL scripters ability to play the game and you seem to look down you
[quote who="pacov" reply="1797" id="3557956"]The thing I look for with scripters in particular are very consistent mechanical things. For instance, a few weeks back I was up against a jinx adc. There was a pattern I kept seeing repeated over and over with how she used her mines - like the exact split second she cast her zap (if was close range ish), she'd toss mines immediately. She repeated this precisely several times.[/quote] You don't need to script
[quote who="pacov" reply="808" id="3506678"]I think its bad to assume if you get whooped you are being scripted. Honestly every report of scripters involves god awful players with god awful stats. They get outplayed but dodge some ss. [/quote]
[quote who="pacov" reply="1790" id="3557275"]Right now, there is more risk in playing non cinderhulk junglers, so there's already a strike against him. And the team is also down a tank. Also, generally, a strike against. [/quote] Plat+ games have Shaco as a 53.5 percent win jungler. So he's more than a viable pick in the Cinderhulk Meta I'd think, since he's got a high win rate right now and has been positive the last five patches at least.
Great points Karl. Maybe I get Diamond in Ranked Teambuilder playing AP Mid Fortune TM Copyright All Rights Reserved. Think you're totally right about the trolls and it being treated as a 'fun' queue so it might be doable. Then I will scoff at your 'Platinum opinions' and stop posting here since everyone but Cow is not prepared for my next level Diamond Wisdom. I'll go argue with Peter in Reddit/Summonerschool as I try and enlighten the masses
[quote who="pacov" reply="1756" id="3553588"]I just really, really dislike the the pregame game. [/quote] I don't either but I don't Ranked TB is the answer. Getting rid of Duo's would be wonderful but would cause some outrage and lose Riot customers. Unacceptable. Here's the solution: No more talking in Champ Select. At all. None. What you can do is soft select a champion and a role like in Teambuilder. &nbs
