you're saying you're far above the 1100 elo that you're at but then you're also going into the Jarman thread and saying that Irelia ruins him in lane. I'm guessing you're much worse mechanically than you think you are.

Its not like I can look at people I play with and learn from them, right? ^_^

I'm quite sure that I'm worse than I say by the standards of people on here, but I'm trying to take in as much knowledge as I can. Pro streams I don't find very useful since most of them don't comment on their play as much as starcraft players do.

Do you guys play much in liquidparty, or not? Every time I go in there people generally idle, but I'd love to get a game or two in with people here to tell me how shitty I am. ^_^

I have serial commitment issues and tend to get bored really fast, but if anyone looking for help wants to upload a replay or something I can try to look through a couple and point some stuff out.

I'm notoriously bad at pointing things out/giving advice during games no matter how relaxed because competitive spirit takes over and I tend to be looking at/thinking about a dozen things at once and end up giving terse, sharp remarks instead of being helpful :x

I'm the same when I play with lower level friends. I still actually haven't been able to get them to understand the importance of only last hitting. Their only argument: "but if I autoattack constantly I'll get more hits than trying to time it properly". I've given up trying to get them to understand.

What's the purpose of last hitting apart getting gold and not pushing the lane ?

I'll post a replay here if I ever get away from work today. TL keeping me sane. ^_^

Orianna + janna combo is getting really annoying, especially because you can't really ignite shields so you always get full protection.

pushing lanes early is underrated. I try to explain this shit while I'm streaming, so I'll shamelessly plug that people should watch my stream so that they can learn LoL.

Excellent RUNE GUIDE! (not mine)

Also very out of date. I think that guide predates even the ArPen rune nerf/AD rune buff.

With regard to pushing lane--if you can push the lane hard, it's probably the best way to stalemate against "strong" laners that you would otherwise lose to (e.g. Lanewick/Lanedyr), because they're slow at pushing it back. At low levels they can't hurt you too hard if you build up a creep advantage, they'll lose CS to tower, and you'll get an opening to bluepill and buy, letting you hopefully get an item advantage.

best thing about that rune guide is that flat AD quints haven't even been buffed and they're sitting in D tier while everyone is using them. Note that Locicero has actually been doing this forever on Pantheon so everyone should dickride him for being like 8 months ahead of the meta.

EDIT: it's also pre-mana regen changes and is all out of whack with that and also lists AD Seals as the worst seal when, again, many carries are running them right now.
