I haven't won a ranked game in like 3 days. I'm almost 1400.

I hate solo ranked.

I still think (in solo ranked queue) that basically the team that gets the less retards will win the game. I know a lot of good players that have fallen into the deepest pits of scrubland. The main thing about solo ranked isn't individual skill. You need to communicate with your team mates and take the leader spot... coordinated battles will win you the game not your APM.

Funny thing about speed... I just frantically click everything. I guess its a habit that has passed through SC1... You can easily manage with 30 APM in this game or even less. HSGG has about 70~ or so when he is really trying.

Franctically clinking everything can really mess you up. The overall APM is low but you need to be able to rapidly shift to precision burst to pull off the harder to execute inputs properly (something like Akali Shadow Dance > hextech/Deathfire > mark > attack > move closer > crescent with smoke bomb at the begin or the end)

For me if i play low APM it doesn't really get me into the game, and i dont think i would be as focused.

I've recently started with Kog'Maw, and holy crap he's so fun to play. Quite possibly the best /j too.

I've only played pure AP so far, and I'm enjoying it. However I really love hybrid builds. In that PTR patch it seems like hybrid Koggy is getting a buff. But in the current state, how is he?

I was thinking something along the lines with GBR, Nashtor, hechtech as the core build. Maybe throw in a HG there too. Is this viable at all? Note that I'm really just playing this for enjoyment and I'm not seeking the best optimal build.

Its like, as soon as we lose map control my WW just utterly fails to do anything. Cant jungle, cant lane without getting ganked. Cant farm with team cause they steal much needed kb's. I dunno anymore..

Do you have problems winning? Just pick Garen.

EDIT: And if you like solo queue, learn junglers. Warwick, Udyr and Amumu can all carry like crazy.

If it's normal mode, just spam Shaco and win every single game without any effort.


Then theres the ultimate noob basher Ezreal. Oh right, and a solo queue monster Nasus. You build tank on him and he out-DPSes almost everything while doing a million AoE DMG and never dying.

Playing a jungler implies that at least one guy on your team won't suck monkey balls, and that lost me almost as many games as it has won...

Play something that doesn't die, Chogath, Sion, Garen, to an extent Taric and Vlad are both good options, even though Taric feels like a real waste in the modern 3-semitank teams.

No, playing as a jungler it doesn't really matter if one guy in your team sucks monkeyballs, you must be doing something wrong.

"Omg noob Udyr, if you hadn't jungled we would have lost the game !!!111!oneoneleven" When I'm 6/0/2 but lost 2 dragons because I had to straight up lane top because the retard nasus/cho just autoattacked and sat 1v2 in front of their tower and fed twice before 10 mins, having to be both top and bot at the same time because the guys up top can afford sending 1 ganker with the free xp/cash that the 1v2 retard fed them.

What I'm doing wrong here is not doing dragon, but I can't even stop to take red to gank without my sprite being pinged for hours on the minimap.

You're not supposed to hit lv 18, Ryze has insane dmg on first blood but loses everything until he farmed at least 3 AP items, with runic prison as his only self defense he is dead meat to pretty much any ganker.

Basically this.

I main as WW. I find that games go downhill very quickly if the bottom lane cant hold and I suddenly have to deal with 1-2 MIAs on my jungle route and/or end up trying to lane 1v2 when should be taking dragon. Really cant do shit before lvl 6.

I'm still working out how to recover from various situations which screw up my Plan A. The 2mth break hasnt helped with that I feel like im trying to start over lol.

Also when you have a bad start and then ur team starts talking smack i just lose interest in wanting to win. From then on its exceptionally hard to turn things around (both mindset and game sense)

That and I just lack Lucky Macro.

The hybrid items are all very cost efficient. rageblade is a great opening item and then buy whatever you want. Have fun

That kind of an idiot would feed regardless of your jungling, if you jungle and control the buffs and everything else, your chances to win are still very good, assuming you can carry properly. If you're 6-0-2, it doesn't really matter if your 1v2 fails since you'll just destroy the opponents and carry. (In all this, I 'm assuming that you really are way better than the average skill level of the games)

My LoL APM is about 180-200, is that too high?

Open Rylais after you got your spell vamp passive (either dorans blade+masteries+ a quint or double dorans/Long Sword) then go Hybrid from there(hextech/rageblade).
