LoL (League of Legends) thread *UPDATED 12/10/2009*

Honestly I have no fucking games to play. I’ll probably play Cataclysm for a while when it comes out then move to MVC3. This game is a lost cause.

Lol i’ve been playing wow on my break too!

Aww, well GGs while you lasted Sacr3D.

The game is mind numbingly frustrating sometimes but it makes the eventual win that much more satisfying when you finally get it.

Honestly, in solo queues I don’t even bother going for the win. I just pick whatever champion I feel like working on and see how many times I can trick the other team into getting stupid and just work on making my gameplay more solid.

If you want to do ranked and not lose your mind I suggest ranked 3v3. I think 3s strategy supports more aggression and having at least one other good player (other than yourself) will insure you a victory against everything but the most elite premades.

I also suggest just making a smurf and playing whatever champ is free. Most new players have zero map awareness at all and aren’t familiar with the concept of overextending. That makes things like go 30/0/5 on Ryze by just taking mid, hitting 6 and then wandering the map like Caine from Kung-Fu. It’s not as fun as playing against people who actually know what they are doing but its a great way to blow off steam and on occasion you get the good smurf on smurf team fight where you actually feel like you’re in a lvl 30 ranked match.

Maybe this weekend we can get an all SRK 5v5 going Sometimes it seems there are enough people from SRK chat on to pull that off.

You can’t take solo queue to seriously just use it as a learning experience and practice. Once you get better you can own whether your team is shit or amazing. In any game there are going to be the hardcore people the scrubs and the fun people. Either find some hardcore people through joining a clan or find some people that just want to have fun. Me and my friend went shaco eve not to long ago and massed sunfires shit was fun and we won lol. If you want to play ranked and just move up the ladders then you are going to need to join a clan to find some hardcore players to group with period.

That’s what I need cause that’s the kind of player I am. I just don’t play just … to play without a goal.

Use someone other than morde. :wink:

I play this game and most people don’t have the objective in mind when they play. They worry too much about someone feeding or being fed and which characters people are playing.

There’s several key things people that are constant winners have:

A focus on the objective (nexus)
Presence of mind to change methods if something doesn’t work
Knowledge of enemy and ally champions
Calmness
Collectedness
A broad enough understanding of competition to know that not every teammate is going to be 10/0/25 every game and that sometimes it’s not someone’s “badness” that makes them die, but really solid play from the other team.

I mean honestly, 1 team is going to lose and one team is going to win; even if both are good.

That’s kind of a rant, but it expresses what I see when I play.

A mindset like that and a team like that are a pleasure to play with. Win or lose.

I don’t give a fuck if people feed but having to tolerate people feeding on purpose and bitching and going AFK pisses me off.

@Cam: I havn’t been using Mord lately.

I talked to hotshot and got him to let me stream on clg site. I just need to set up the own3d tv livestream. Hopefully i can start streaming this weekend!

If any of you guys play ranked and want a support, that’s what I do nowadays.

Sona, Warwick, and Fortune (sucks now from range reduction)

Me and my friend are gonna be playing normal games all night. Add CleverAdvisor if u wanna join in.

I got a 4 man premade with friends. We usually play at 11pm PST to 2ish almost every night, tomorrow night we’ll be getting together. We have our own vent channel, and we’re pretty decent.

If anyone is interested in being our 5th PM at PoxXx

My team is currently working on our 5 man premade: Sona, Galio, jungle Nunu, Gangplank and Vlad. Galio being our centerpiece and basically make our opponents scared shitless to initiate and when they do they get AOE’d to hell. Ya, I know it screams MF, but my friend wants to play GP so until he gets MF thats what we gotta work with.

I can MF for you. I am 46/6/39 with her in 4 ranked games. Add hardballzdeep.

imo.

Totally remember you saying she was the worst ranged carry in the game. Busted!

This game still is pretty fun even when I get with quitters, though I can imagine the stupidity wearing on you once you’re in double-digit levels and… actually good. That’s a kind of pain I hope I never experience.

Just had another good Pantheon game.

He is too easy to use! :lol:

If anyone needs an extra slot in a 5 man I would be down as well even if it is just a fill in wouldn’t mind playing an organized game. I used to be in the High elo bracket before ranked with my friend ferts, but he went to HoN then quit. I can play any character you want just have to let me know who.

Going to be iffy for a little while though until i get a new computer currently team fights can drop my fps low.

Starting to enjoy Pantheon again. Didn’t realize how much burst his spear throw gave. It’s insane.

All good we on if anyone wants to fill our 5th spot. We’ll probably stop close to 2am PST.

Galio worth saving up for? Dude’s Hex-tech whatever skin is too boss.
