League of Legends

Rrgh, today is a sucky day.

Firstly, during a teambuilder match, I'm faced with a team of 3 junglers... AND I STILL LOST. I was doing fine with Kassadin, but my allied top Volibear continuously fed enemy Rengar to the point that he's Level 2, and RENGAR IS FRICKIN' LEVEL 7. How bad can someone be? And then the guy is such a defeatist that he kept saying things like 'GG Surrender @ 20' or 'I'll AFK. No use playing.'

I mean, COME ON! And the enemy ends up taunting everyone sucks, when in truth it's just Voli that's feeding. I ended up reporting the one who said that, saying "Thank you for giving me a reason to report you."

And next up, I picked Yasuo on top... facing Graves. Wow, Top Graves in new meta? I ended up watching enemy Katarina and Master Yi making a mincemeat out of my team and lost. Thankfully, nothing really annoying happens. I dunno if I'm too scared or anything, but I feel like I need to train to be a braver Yasuo that pokes more than just retreating. (Because all I got for now is just E-Q and then E back. But by that enemy would've still hit me. I need something so I could get free hits)

People say Yasuo is super squishy, just how BAD is it? (And yes, I mean if someone popped out his shield)

Okay, back to another Yasuo match. I'm facing a Zed with 800+ wins that I ended up losing pretty badly. The problem is, there's this Lux who continues to spam her taunt... Seriously? What an unsportsmanlike behavior. It's making me feel like this game is better off without Taunt feature to deprive all those unsportsmanlike people. Real men do not ridicule people!

The next game, I finally won when I got into Leona. But... I got paired with a super toxic Twisted Fate who got besieged by 3 people at mid, and then starts complaining that everyone sucks and no one babysits him. We only won because our Kalista, who were babysitted by me, wreaks havoc and carrying us all. But I ended up reporting that TF anyway regardless if we just won.

You know, I get the feeling that there's always THIS random day where whenever you play, you will end up playing with toxic players. How do we detect that day?

In the hands of a good player she can be quite overwhelming. Problem is that she's the bane of any melee champion. People say you only need a gap closer, but if you don't one shot her or lock her down with multiple CC, chance are, she's going to slip away.

I saw a good one go mid, terrorize and get fed off Akali's early game weakness. We had two assassin's in the game and we couldn't kill her since she bought some health and was a bit fed. We rushed at her and then all she needed was one autoattack (Which come quick because she always buys attack speed) to be off our range pelting us with spears.

No matter how you see it, that hop is way too much mobility.

I remember reading someplace that on launch Champs tend to be overly Op, then get nerfed accordingly next patch. An example of this is Gnar, I think? Not so much Azir,though.

Gnar got buffed, and I think Azir is sleeper as hell

Azir is very strong. Basically, he has only been buffed in the previous patches.

When pro people get into championships Azir is prolly gunna be perma banned and then he is gunna start getting hit by nerf bats.

I hope it's another Void beastie.

That way we can have a full Void team without having to include a wannabe like Malz.

it looks like another void beast

great another mech monster for Viktor

Kalista is a really strong ADC, but she almost necessitates voice communication to support for. Seriously, getting sucked into that ult is confusing as FUCK, and if you're not on the same page shit will go pear-shaped.

At least in late game; her W makes laning a breeze. She takes some of the warding pressure off, makes it easier to secure kills without stealing them, basically auto-wins trades...

She's strong but requires skill and coordination, basically. She'll be crazy strong in competitive play, but I kinda feel like I'll find myself groaning if I see her in solo queue.

It's a shame that CertainlyT's champions are so painful to fight against, because they have some of the most inventive kits in the game. I should note that the main reason why I mostly left League of Legends in favor of Dota 2 is that I feel the latter has more unique heroes, though I might get back into it once I get a new computer.

Heyo. I play Dota 2, and once the semester ends, I'm planning to start playing League of Legends. Well, I dunno about "start." I did download the client and play two tutorials. And I unlocked Annie for some reason, don't quite recall why. Probably because it was the first one that was there on the client or something, I dunno. In any case, in a couple weeks once the winter break starts, I'm hoping to start playing it, along with my return to Dota 2.

Probably to use it the way it's intended, but as leona I found myself getting pulled to safety so many times it didn't matter if I was confused as hell.

If you got questions, don't hesitate to ask. We don't bite.

Delicious and moist

March onwards, fellow soldiers, for the glory of the Poro King!

Soon your world will be devoured.

She's literally Tremors. Like, all the movies fused into one giant void beast.

I just hope you can attack her while she's underground. Love the unsurpassed mobility (instantly thought of Meepo or Nature's Prophet from Dota) and how you have to decide to save Fury for extra damage or quick regeneration.

So

Kha'Zix Top Cho'Gath Mid Rek'Sai Jungle Kog'Maw Bot Vel'Koz Bot

You know,I can actually see this team working. Of course you can switch around the top, mid and jungle.

lets you keep em guessing

Depending on what you want, Rek might be a better toplaner than Kha. Good splitpushing and escapes. Kha'zix top is more... what, a brawler? Still useful, I suppose, but eh. Weird that they'd announce another champion so soon after the last one, but ah, well. Not gonna complain about new stuff.

Speaking of new stuff, I played the new jungle for the first time last night, as Hecarim... and got Wrecked-arim. I got pigeonholed into it, and I don't really have any attack or armour -heavy runes or masteries, so I died to Camps a couple of times(Including the wraiths/raptors. The fucking wraiths). And I was against a Pantheon, who counter-jungled the shit out of me and got fed. I could at least disrupt teamfights for a little while, and we tended to come out ahead in fights for the first 15-20 minutes, but after that it was just a slow spiral downwards...

For their supposed attempts at making tank-junglers stronger, Riot's done an awful lot to make them weaker. Raise hunter's machete price? Yeah, now Sejuani can't buy the four health pots she needs to survive with more than half health after clearing, meaning she can't farm or gank without backing. Also, now that Lee Sin can just waltz right into your jungle and kill you even faster than before!

I suppose that's why all this is 'live' before it goes live. To test things out and see how they work. I think the line of thinking was, "Well, if we make it harder to survive at early levels it makes champions who are more survivable more feasible!"

Which might work, if it weren't for the fact that, you know... no champion is ever truly tanky at level 1.

Still, I'll wholly admit I was poorly equipped for it. Like I said, no tank masteries, no attack runes or masteries. I actually played because I wanted to save up some IP to get some attack Runes.

They still do not have a support void
