The League of Legends Thread: Winter is...coming?

based on what they said I’m betting trundle and udyr will see a resurgance. Maybe fiora/trynd/yii too.

Doubt it. Yi is far better in this jungle than the old one. Trynd was OP top and he’s in a delicate spot (same with Pantheon) and Fiora will suffer along with Panth until the items are reworked.

I think it’s weird because currently the tanky support thing has been popular, but less than 2 months ago it was all about fighters. I think this is premature because the jungle and team comps have been slowly changing, but nobody wants to admit it. The only reason people were picking Naut was because his cooldowns were amazing for his utility. Ali isn’t as good of a jungler as others. He really is overrated. He just makes people afraid in the laning phase etc.

I dunno, I don’t jungle anymore but I loved it and I still follow what goes on because it’s what I started with.

top lane…i will never go there without flash, alot of junglers think its the in thing to camp top if your raping the lane. and top lane is usually 1 sided one way or the other. so someone getting camped, lol.

Jungling is camping whatever lane is fed most of the time, it’s harder and harder to successfully gank due to wards and how cautiously most experienced players lane, you need to be really clever and bide your time in a bush. You watch pro - jungles, most of them rush oracles and spend enormous amounts of time just running around killing wards.

When I jungle I like to play character that can turret dive, get a lane to push onto their turret and then jump in from behind, kill and flash out. That assassin style of jungling that’s pretty much fallen out of fashion.

so after reading some tribunal cases, ive come to the conclusion that the league community are some straight bitches. srsly. one case had 3 of the other team report one guy for verbal abuse and he didnt say one word in all chat. hell he barely even said anything. just called out some of his own teammates for being bad and trying to put the blame on others. hell he didnt even have 1 report from his own team for any reason. they need to put in pregame and post game chat on the tribunals. this was clearly people trying to coax the other team into false reporting and that in itself should be punished more than fake bullshit theyre trying to get away with.

For real, the pre and post-game stuff needs to be added. Dudes go absolutely crazy in both and get away with it.

lol my man is feelin himself. You coulda translated that whole thing into “NA is trash.” Guess they need to step their game up and shut his mouth, he won’t shut it on his own.

Toyz is a farming machine, that’s 90% of the reason he does so well.

You look at the other top midlanes like Froggen, they’re all fantastic farmers as well.

That’s the secret to being a good AP mid, playing the character is a big part of it, but farm, farm, farm so you can carry, particularly in that early - mid game.

Speaking of Froggen…I just watched him play Anivia for the first time since they banned Lee Sin.

…good fucking god. No wonder people say Froggen Anivia. I’ve never seen anyone play a champion and be so comfortable with them. He had the entire team go after him at one point, and he managed to stall dying long enough for his team to get over there so he only went into egg form.

Edit - Oh shit, round 2. They picked Lee Sin first.

My reaction when I’m not getting Ezreal+Sona Poked as AD Carry.

Complimented on my counter - jungling with Riven.

Riven is one of those characters I’m decent with, is competitive, but I just don’t play her often. I’m not sure why. I really should use her more and level her up a bit, she’s really strong.

Just an update for whoever can edit the main page as well, you can add me on League with FrostAU now.

Go to play ranked…

First game someone instalocks Yi first pick and calls bot.

FML.

The new TF model feels pretty slick, Jack of Hearts da bessss

I have EVERY SKIN so I will check them out later in Bots, since I find it funny that Bots can now afford skins most people can’t and lord it over them.

Idk… the new TF looks ridiculously too large.

Supposedly they’re normalizing height, maybe everyone is getting taller.

At least he’s not a midget anymore.

I too think he’s too tall, looks like some anime bullshit character. Oh well. His voice got cleaned up too. Good animations I suppose. Westdoor2040 is rejoicing

I guess if he’s lucky enough to get him on NA, cause in Taiwan TF is always permabanned when enemy knows he’s on other team :confused:

NA TF are free, that’s why. Blue card ganks, can’t pull cards under pressure, random skillshots that go nowhere, don’t use ult for map awareness or to escape when they’re about to die… the list goes on an on.
