Neo is definitely in top 500 and i'm pretty sure yiruru, Brees and I make it as well. i wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of others like utahime, rad, smash, etc make it too. Isn't aaerox from tl? He played in the 2nd inhouse tourney. | ||

Haha red no, he said noone in TL was top 500. And if they were, they didnt deserve to be cuz half of the 'real' top 500 already left to Euro server. I was confounded. | ||

Amumu , kat(fucking awesome with morgs shield) morgana(lowers MR), fiddle(lowers MR), karthus(wall lowers MR) AP ezreal prenerf was pretty sick, twitched spray and pray AoE is cool(he sucks though), and of course pirate, panth, kennen etc. Basically , if u get to farm up a little health or whatnot and do semi-ok in the laning phase, you just group up and destroy everyone. Problem is these kind of teams absolutely get trashed solomid, theres no real 1v2 person, no "real" jungler, although amumu is okish, and the 2v2 lane is probably gonna not get any farm/ trashed all over. That and, everyone figured out there was a character named Janna. Combined with soraka (+ MR), and Jannas ulti , they completely dominate the laning phase, and negate a bit (quite a lot) of the AoE's potential damage output. At least thats what i think. it could just be something totally different lol Anyways, since people can't touch this janna/soraka shit with AoE, everyone else.. just did it. lol all the old roles were filled with switched to Siege nukers/ harassers/ raw dps, such as Ashe, AD ezreal, trist etc. At least thats how it was whenever i tried to 5man queue with people. -_- was either a long boring as fuck game, or one that ended in under 25mins this is turning more into a rant then it is an actual reply XD By the way have u guys noticed that.. at higher ish kinda elos.. people actually start faking out.. your fake out? obviously not the first time, but later on they actually at least try it. Like for example wit amumu. You can bandage toss in anticipation of where a person is gonna go. Aka actually hitting your bandage toss. Obviously anyone whos played amumu/ against amumu is gonna know where he wants to bandage toss and either juke back, or breifly stop, to avoid getting stunned. So the amumu can actually toss to the location he thinks the other person is going to juke back. Anyways the thing i found extremely funny was, once amumu shows his capability of thinking on this kind of scale and sucessfully ganks someone, later in the game the other person knows hes gonna toss behind him, where you're gonna run back, and just fake going back, then just continue forward like normal!(this is the farthest i can think without having my head explode). And this all happens in like half a second. Another example is when people are running from either a stun, or a slow from ashe or.. a faster person, whatever. But they happen to run into a brush. Now obviously most people will try to cut off the person at the end of the brush, without actually going in. A typical trick is to just get into the brush. and sit. then when the other person(thats ganking you) is at the end of the brush, LEAP out and RUN, preferably with ghost/flash or anything that can get u outta there.(if necessary lol). Then obviously a common anti-juke measure is to just assume that any competant player is gonna try this , and run towards the OTHER end( basically following the same path as most noobs do, but juking back in anticipation of their fake out, instead of just running in) , as they come out, you'll be right on top of them. So another thing they could do is.. poke their head out this side, (the side they originally came from),preferablly with maybe a skill shot, like akalis bubble.. so you react THINKING hes going to run backwards towards you, and you've got him perfectly countered, but then run BACK into the brush, and just ghost/flash in the other direction, again they could try juking yet another time here, but i find the other person is usually too close at this point. Anyways, its probably best to just kind of hover around the middle.. of the two spots they could come out, and wait for them, but vs a few people this wont cut it, IE shaco, akali ,ezreal possibly. But its just things like these i find make the game interesting. Anyways, i found the metagame for LoL is pretty funny, hopefully someone might understand the nonsense i just spewed XD i like typing apparently. someone hook me up with a typing job and ill be good to go. | ||

I actually wouldn't be surprised if most of the top 500 are people that keep pre-mading, because that way they're actually hitting the highest elo #s. I know one guy that's like +30 but he purely 5-mans, is as good if not better than me, and he consistently plays against tryhard teams that would kick my butt. Makes you think, eh? | ||

I wasn't any good so after 10 minutes of being called a faggot, idiot kid, and being told all the various ways in which my team-mates had intercourse with my mother; I left. My SN is KingStork if anyone wants to add me. I'm bad, but I'm gonna keep playing practice games until I'm good enough to not be consistently insulted :3 I spent my first 5 lvls just doing practice games, thinking that ppl take the real ones serious. Then when i started queuing it was kinda a joke. Rarely ever do practice games now (except if im trying out a hero i think i'll be shocking at lol) Playing War for Cyberton now. MP is pretty good. Its fun being able to win the game solo. | ||

Riot needs to get another couple of servers, yes, but you guys act like they don't realize people want to play their game on the weekend. | ||

Lolz Actually, friday night is the least busy night of the week for most online games including LoL. So they want to restart the servers as close to the weekend as possible without having to pay a team overtime incase something goes wrong, then friday night is the perfect opportunity. | ||

I just played vs a pantheon mid for the first time and holy shit the matchup seems impossible to win. Level BB until you can consistently hit the enemy hero, then get a point of W to maximize damage. Ult has maximum priority. AP>>>AD. Slightly less damage per gold, but much more utility and survivability. Rush Rylai, then get Zhonya. | ||
