I think part of the problem with HS vs Saint all the time is that saint tends to call an aggressive game, and HS is one of the LEAST aggressive players in the game. So while the others will pick up their aggression and movement, HS doesnt, and it creates friction.

Is HSGG playing support Yorick? How does that even work?


Actually running mejai on the ap with yorick could potentially work. Since even if you die, you can potentitally get those stacks back when yorick ulti's you.

TSM gonna have issues if they can't even beat chauster hotshot jiji and 2 subs


That's true, but that Irelia was a real fucking terror. His teleport double kill was amazing. He was TP'ing everywhere and totally fucking up TSM. And Lee Sin was.. well, Lee Sin.


Oh the subs were really good, not saying that it's a downgrade, but a full team losing to a team with only 3 members that practice together. The problem is that teamwork should give you the win when you are equal skill.

IMO CLG's teamwork is better when only one of HSGG and SV are playing ;P. Both are pretty good leaders but their playstyles are pretty different and when they play together they always end up arguing.

Also in that game kass countered TSM's teamcomp really hard imo. Anivia cant do anythign vs kass and TSM had no cc at all to stop chauster.


All of that and TSM had terrible buff control. They conceded both dragons, lost all but 1-2 blues, and lost all but maybe 1 of their reds. And Anivia without blue against Kassadin with blue is sadface.

I think that early game saint likes to focus on farming more, so when hotshot asks for ganks, he doesn't go. Then late game hotshot doesn't play aggressively enough for saint's playstyle.

I actually side with saint on that one. Jungles that are behind early just become useless for the rest of the game.

to be fair HSGG has been the late game superstar that the team has won its best victories around. Expecialy with jax and cho. His nid play is also something to watch because of this.

Both CV and HSGG are cocky sons of bitches but thats what makes them so good. they have always done this just being ass's to each other but they know each other so well and they win together.
A wise man will say that he knows nothing. We're gona party like its 2752 Hail Dark Brandon

Again not sure who listens to LoL Mp3 podcasts, but have gotten tired of Queue Dodge since they make weekly shows but aim it so even newbies understand their content. Which isn't a problem but they take way too long to explain things so while it was fine when I had less understanding of LoL I don't see how anyone can listen to it regularly.

So tried two new podcasts both about Graves.

Summoner's Roundtable is new only it's third episode, was enjoying it but then stopped listening when they recommended getting Archangel's on Singed... It was part of a discussion on Singed and just one person raised the problem of "How does he build mana with a tear when he has no spamming ability" they change the subject with one of them insisting it's a good item because it gives a lot of mana due to it working with Singed's passive and is better than RoA. Maybe a tear is viable, haven't crunched the numbers of when it would if ever be better than a RoA.

LoLPod was better, it included discussion on Grave's balance and item builds with discussion about what pros are doing too. They also include feedback from their listeners which is nice. Only have seen one episode but it looks to be my favorite non pro LoL podcast, with a steady release schedule according to I Tunes and good content.

How does he transition into lategame? Is he solely used for his ulti when it's 30+ mins?

He has a very weak transition out of lane. Without farm, he's pretty much a walking ult and has very little utility. He needs farm to be tanky or do any damage (and he needs both to zone out their carry), so he pretty much needs to steal farm to be effective late-game. Either the team goes for the win mid-game by snowballing on the huge level and gold advantage from the bot lane or they'll have to go for late-game with the team having the 5th player as a semi-carry/support rather than a pure support.

Honestly, Hotshot, jiji, and Chauster are all non-aggressive players. I think saint makes good calls but he loves playing aggressive and I don't think most of CLG does.

Jiji and chauster adapt though. HS doesnt want to.

So I'll preface this by saying, I have never played kass ever and hes free this week.

So I'm having a converstaion with my buddy as I hit que not thinking it would be instant and long story short I random Kass and have my ad runes. Not know this, I get into my game and build standard. Now normally I'm like this is fuckign over, because it normally is, but I decide to just crank it hard.

Now either the enemy was bad or I'm just really good with kass, but he face rolls the SHIT outta kids at 1300 elo. Like max q and e never put a point in w, get level 6, r qe dead morg. Repeat this like 10 times and go legendary.

Is he really that dumb strong? Or did I just get lucky?

You almost certainly got lucky, 1 game means nothing, I've learned that lesson about 20 times over.

You got lucky.

Morg should rape kass np. E blocks silence, W pushes lane and tower takes all Kass's farm, at low levels you can also harass with your auto-attacks whenever Kass tries to last hit. Actually, a lot of champs rape kass. I'd argue that past a certain skill level, it becomes harder to rape as Kass than it is to rape Kass. Until Kassadin's Q is sufficiently high level, he will lose harass trades to essentially any ranged champion because when he can't retaliate to auto-attack harass at all. Once he gets like lvl 5, his Q hits hard enough so that he can out-harass non-AD carry ranged champs.

Kassadin just rolls face against noobs because he snowballs pretty well. If he gets fed/farmed, he can be really hard to noobs to deal with because they won't know how to deal with a Kass that's riftwalking in, QE their squishy, rifting out with like no damage taken 'cause no one knows how to cc and focus down the Kass.

Yeah honestly Morgana is one of the few AP champs that Kass can't just walk all over. I always recommend taking at least one point in W early though...not only is the sustain amazing even with a few last hits/autoattacks on champions, but once you get even a blasting wand the W auto becomes part of his combo...it honestly really helps with his already really nice damage.

I've bought him and played him about 10 times. He wasn't as great as I thought. What is true though, he snowballs. Once you get going, with riftwalk+nukes you can really lay on the hurt. But if they put a Cait or something AD in mid, you can't do much. Yesterday I had a kass that totally rolled the enemy team and basically carried our whole victory (~20min game he had like 15 kills). But other games you get a kass who does nothing.

Also if you play in normal, there seem to be less AP there and this blows. He probably works better in ranked where they mix it.

He was in a team but not a regular poster, it's a pretty common sentiment in solo q to hate on him as he trolls/rages a lot while not being the greatest player either.

Need to ask Riku how to make costumes quick!




Show nested quote +
Buy red/dark pink fabric, pink ducttape, yellow floral paint (you can find it at Michael's), pink ribbon, purple and pink paper and find some white gloves.

Cut the pink in half so the width is about how far his neck thing sticks out, do this for a number of pieces, then tape them together except for one side (so you can put it on, you'll probably just tape it on yourself).

Cut a star in the middle of a piece of paper and use it to paint on stars on the fabric. Don't worry about sewing, just hold it up to you and figure out how much to cut it down. You'll be taping it closed with the duct tape but consider making duct-tape straps or cutting arm holes.

Tape (from the inside) a piece of the pink paper into a cone, then cut the extra so it has a round bottom. Tape pink ribbon around it. You can start the pink ribbon inside at the top, get it out through the seam, wrap it around, then tape it underneath.

Wrap the pink ribbon around your arms and legs, tape it to your shoulder, back of hand, shoe and shorts.

For the head, rumple up a paperbag and cut eye-holes and cut or paint a mouth.

Should take about 6 hours, shopping time included.


Sorry bout quoting this from 1 page behind but,

Riku i kinda love you, thanks
