Re: League of Legends [v2]

no i just feel like whenever i'm playing him i do no damage even with bt tri but when they have lucian it's like they're fucking uzi or some shit

and i dunno, if i had to pick a dueler like him i know he's less superior but graves will always be my go to

his w just seems useless to me and the culling i don't know man it's like eh. i feel he can get bullied out of teamfights pretty quickly but i guess he's mobile so people play him

idk i guess i don't get the mentality you have to have with him, i prefer cait where you're literally just pushing or ez but i don't even play adc horribly often, tanky bruisers are too fun

also i wasn't like, blaming any losses on support, i just prefer to have more communication than what i have been getting. being a social person bleeds into my gameplay and i do better in my opinion if i'm either just chatting with someone or we're talking about timers or things like that or cooldowns etc, i need the noise, even if it's just typing

Re: League of Legends [v2]

^ Well if you ever want to duo I'm down. Im a good support but I only play Sona. (Unless she is taken then I will go morgana or karma) and I can communicate.

As for cooldowns, id look into getting curse voice beta. It tells you cooldowns of all your teammates and dragon/baron timer.

Re: League of Legends [v2]

she feels like a cross between jinx and lucian

depending on what you need I feel like those two would generally be better than mf

though this is just speculation

Re: League of Legends [v2]

find me one person that doesn't already understand this

90% of millennials and quite a large population of man-children that play video games

trust me, the less you rely on your team and start understanding that you need to practice and learn the entirety of the game yourself the better you'll do. when you have an expectation that isn't met, the aggravation is compounded

Re: League of Legends [v2]

MF for aoe based teams feels superior to those two
for the prev discusion if you want to carry your team be a jungler/mid. they have most impact.
but as a main jungler i got blamed for f***g every mistake in lane everyone does, no love at all. dude on top being camped? he blames me for no help thought we got every drag and both other lanes wins hard with my help, no i'm the worst.

love lol community

Re: League of Legends [v2]

that's what happens when you main jungle, but imho it's probably the most impactful role: you have to establish early on from team comp whether or not you can afford to be carry jungle (esp with the new AS buff on claw) or if you're going to have to be a ganker/sballer. regardless, you should go for carry jungler 80% of the time

laning is simple: win it. mid lane is more impactful when it comes to the three lanes only because of the gank-ability of most mid lanes, and is usually the lane that, if snowballed early, can guarantee a victory. but when faced with a evenly matched mid laner? how are you going to win? your jungler ofc.

with the nerfs to wukong, lee, vi, elise, and possibly panth soon, really the most ideal strat now is a burst jungler that can scale hard and can afford to split late game. warwick, shaco, yi, udyr, voli (rarely the bear). it's been a lot more rare to see a tank jungle unless you're up against a full ad team or something, but the meta's shifted in that regard. imo best jungler strat:


get ward trinket

if blue, start red, go mid and camp until smite up again. ward their wraith path near their red (assuming their blue start) before going to your blue. yes you are behind one camp of wraith but assuming you can an early summoner off on mid, mid can't say shit. get blue, farm wolves, smite wight, go top if needed.

if purple,

start blue, do wolves, ward behind red camp, finish red, either gank mid or top (preferrably top). if cannot kill, smite golems, recall. if ganking mid, camp until smite is up, do wraiths, recall. gg

90% of millennials and quite a large population of man-children that play video games

if they're everywhere link me one example where someone states they believe they can get better by being lazy/complaining

trust me, the less you rely on your team and start understanding that you need to practice and learn the entirety of the game yourself the better you'll do. when you have an expectation that isn't met, the aggravation is compounded

you clearly didn't read what I said. self-improvement and learning is the goal when you're trying to get better (by definition????), but you can tell people to stop bitching and/or give advice to improve without being an arrogant dick

some of you are so lackluster in your appetite to want to get better, and just -say- you want to but actually do -nothing- that it sickens me.

I don't care if you're diamond 1 or challenger. if you think this way you're a cunt and pathetic

no i can't

it's lonely at the top



i don't know why this is such a great offense to you such that you have to throw fallacious blows left and right. maybe you're trash yourself? :shrug: not my problem

the aforementioned statements were strictly for soloQ, and particularly the lower elos anyway. the mentality gets better sure, as you rank up and realize that maybe, possibly, you can expect your team to do certain things, but you shouldn't immediately assume so. that assumption is what causes most of the rage, frustration, and hinders the ability to look internally and figure out what the problem is. playing with noobie clan members who are actually arrogant, and can audibly hear how everything is another person's fault: i'm not talking out of my ass.

you think the mentality is the same in team 5s? [i]dumb[/b]

edit-
also no, i normally don't read tl;dr's because i think most opinion's that can't be said in 20 words is a waste of time BUT

the other problem with your comments is that you assume that everyone can improve their play to a certain point. this is not fundamentally true. some people are born short and cannot grow taller, some people are less intelligent and cannot grasp complex concepts no matter how hard they try, some people have slow reflexes and cannot improve them no matter how much they practice. video games are the same way.

i really can't believe you have the audacity to suggest that there is literally a biological difference in skill aptitude that among players; there is a cap a player can reach that no one else can achieve.

That's fucking bullshit and -you- ho boy you look like an ignoramus.

do you think koreans are good at video games because there is a genetic difference to their muscluar twitch reponses? because of heredity? you do realize that if you broke down the amount of hours playing and practicing LoL to those who are ranked higher there is nearly a 1.0 correlation mark? or to like...anything other video game, doing work, practicing a skill, practicing an instrument, working, training, fucking everything in existence? and DID YOU KNOW there's this thing in the world called the empirical rule that explains statistical distributions which you so incorrectly referenced?

holy shit lmao you're the type of person with that defeatist attitude, aren't you? the ':shrug that person is just better than me because there is a biological difference in our skill' that i fucking hate being around. you're a pussy dude! no wonder you took my statement to heart, i'm talking about you aren't i? i wasn't even directing that at anyone - it was merely a statement of my disappointment and how i look down upon those that will not put in effort and complain of their ineptness.

might be a misconception on stargroup's part due to being used to the competitive rhythm game scene, where skill caps are 1) more based on physical limits, and 2) probably more solidly defined because you're playing against arrows or whatever instead of against a living, breathing opponent.

still skill ceilings tend to exist and do vary from person to person. two different players will remain different from each other after putting in 1000 hours, and you can probably figure out which player is "better" at that point.

I would imagine it's pretty fluid in LoL as the meta can change, you can do a lot of different things in order to outplay your opponents, etc. in that sense there might always be room for individual improvement relative to other players. I wanna say some people will have more of a natural aptitude for improvement than other people, though. it has to do with everything about the person. if I'm born blind then I probably can't get very good at LoL. if my upbringing led me to become impatient and easily frustrated then I probably can't get very good at LoL.

how much genetics matters I dunno, maybe not a lot, but I don't think you can say it's not a thing at all.

Re: League of Legends [v2]

i'm not saying that there isn't a ceiling at all, but to suggest that one cannot make it to diamond based on hours of practice is of little faith and determination

Re: League of Legends [v2]

i'd much rather read one of your posts about telling someone how to play while being a dick than i would rather read one of stargroups mile long posts about something he could have said in 2 sentences without using 14 different math solutions to talk about it
