You can't check your elo in non-ranked games. The irc thing they had (or used to have, I never used it myself) was just for giggles.

I mean, I'm working on my last hits, knowing when to be aggressive and when not to, and I'm starting to buy wards every game and trying to look at my mini-map a lot more.
Just really, I know I have a lot of problems with my game and well, want to know if there's anything that I might not even think of that might help me out some.
Anything would be appreciated. One tip that might be helpful is to ping out your mias, rather than type them. It sounds like you are doing everything right, I'd have to see you play to give you more advice. The main thing I'd say is to learn all the characters skills, and their relative ranges, so you at least have an idea of when it's safe to be aggressive and when it's dangerous. tbh, please dont ping out mias, its really not that hard to type out, and pinging usually confuses the hell out of me, unless there is text to support. Basically if ur pinging, my first assumption (and i think most other ppl too, but not sure) is that you want someone to go there, i.e. you want a gank, or need some1 to cover the lane, so having that as mia call is bad. In general, you really want to have a bit of text accompanying pings, simply cause pings are completely ambiguous, or could even be a mistake (happens to me all the time when im on vent, alt is the push to talk button) I ping a line from where the mia is coming to where he is headed, 3 pings generally. More people react to my pings than they do to my "mia ryze" text or w/e it maybe. Different strokes I guess?
Also, I'm down for that tourney too.

My game just updated but I see no release notes... anyone have any idea whats goin on?

when you see mid heading top and then start pinging the river in between mid and top and say "care" they usually get it

What are your guys' thoughts on Karthus at high level play? I'm using him (@ Lvl12 1350~ unranked elo) and really love him, but I'm sure good players will dodge his Lay Waste easily, but I still think there's potential for wall of pain + lay waste in predictable spots + aoe when they're running away.
but yeah just curious? Also if anyone is good with him, any good item orders? I just get like the staff of manaregen and some ap and then void staff and then maybe zhonyas if im not being buttraped and if i am then a guardian angel

He has no CC, his bursting is sub-par and he has to be right in the thick of a team fight to do effective AoE.
IMO he's only really useful for his ult, which overall makes him not a very good champ.
I'm not top elo tho

The one thing that he has going for him is that if he dies he's still in the fight and he can KS mejais super easy.

In related news, this is what happens when I solo mid.

With the amount of skill it takes to play Karthus effectively, you could be a godlike game-changing Anivia and have better burst, laning, survivability, and CC.
Karthus's only distinguishing features are his single target nuke being easy to dodge and his ult being a great gank-assurer. His passive also supports a reckless playstyle, which is why I like him.
Edit: Oh btw 5HIT, I believe the bug is still in effect where you do not get Mejai's stacks for kills while dead. (assists are okay though)
Edit at below: Yes, it does. Get one fast. (did they change it with GA? I don't remember)
|
Thanks guys, I probably will stick to Karthus since I really like him anyway.
Another question I had, anyone know if Morgana's ult keeps casting while you use Zhonyas or while Guardian Angel is "casting"?
|
Yes to Zhonya's no sure about GA.
What are some good marks for tanks? I have hp per lvl but I feel there must be some better ones...

apen for garen and udyr and others who deal damage with attacks.
people actually seem to get apen for amumu as well <_>

Also screw that if you're in solo queue most people are pretty competent above 1400, it's just that they're very, very prone to off games. Not only are you mean, but you think I'm stupid? Cool community repping there bro. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to be offended by that, I was just trying to help =/. I want to flame you now but that wasn't my intent when I originally posted so I'm kinda confused as to whether to apologize or call you a pussy for being so fragile.
Seriously I was just trying help you find your unranked elo =/. Like, really, last time I helped someone find it this was what helped them.
|
I mean, it's really, really simple to find your unranked Elo and you haven't been able to do it so you're clearly missing a very simple step...
|
When I went to look for it it wasn't there, and what I realized is that it removes is from previous logs (I think?) or something, because I had to start my client, view profile, then quit compeltely to open up the most recent log and have it show up

23-0-2 in a practice game with Ezreal!
It feels like this guy really fits my playstyle too, But 6300 IP is sooooo muchhhh
|
WOW. Two games in a row my leader has first pick for bans and chooses Shen and guess what, the opposite leader ends up choosing Shaco first pick because my leader is forced to choose between dinger or shaco.
>_>

Holy cow how powerful Garen is. Never understood that until I played him. You do ALOT of damage without a single DPS item, that is fucking ridiculous.
And I still don't have a single APen rune since I've been mostly playing casters. Hard to imagine how scary he gets with some APen.

Man they really gotta nerf him, he is fun though.

So I noticed that this guy is had 380 wins and 120 leaves. I was like wtf, so out of curiousity, I went to check his runes. I was not disappointed!
