Shushei always trolling in solo queue, you guys just never watched him play before he got famous, lol. I played against him doing stuff like solo lane fiddle and generally doing awful at it. Then I turn on his stream and he's going sword of the occult tears ashe and like 0/8 getting carried because "it's his lucky ashe build". Heh.

He plays consistently stupid builds and heroes now aswell. But he at least enjoys the game and acts like he enjoys the game. Even when playing poor hero combinations he very rarely is the reason for a loss and he ALWAYS radiates the fact that league of legends is fun. Something I havn't seen any of the American streamers do for like a year now.

It just feels like it's a job for them that has to be done to generate the revenue to live one, and that is probably true aswell. And I am in no way shape or form holding that against them.

What are some strong bot lanes that can destroy ad carry / support? I am interested in creating some unorthodox team compositions that can be used with friends in a 5 man queue.

There is a reason ad carry and support is played there. But if you just want to "dominate the lane" ending up with a completly fucked up team, dubble ap usually does the trick.

You should watch Saint, Dan Dinh or Salce more. Saint has fun and makes no bones about it, and Dan seems to enjoy himself quite a bit, and he does weird shit that tends to work out. And salce is just the best NA ap carry.

Basically any good player normally streams with below 3k viewers. Is going to be free of your "oh this is just a business" phobia.

SaintVicious is one of the worst offenders ha, maybe I've just caught him badly but it seems everytime I turn on his stream it seems he love spewing derogative shit over his teammates and opponents. That's not for me.

Dan Dinh, was someone I used to watch alot but I can't do it anymore I don't know why. Every time I turn it on I find myself not watching. Why this is I don't know.

Salce, I'll check it it never paid to much attention to it.

And I have a stream running 24/7, and that isn't a joke. I have program set up so that if a stream goes down it alerts and sets to a new stream. It's what I can do to support the players and I never see a reason not have a stream running even if I'm not watching. But it also means I've been watching a shit ton of streaming in my day and there are certain people that used to have just a ton of energy and drive that seems to have vanished. My favourite streamer being TheOddOne, before i could look past the fact that he complains aaaaaaall the time, because he was being genuinly funny and had a great energy. Now it just feels like the complaining is there. A sort of "Why do I even do this shit". and it goes a for a gaggle of streamers, no matter how many k's they have.

The reason is coordination. Honestly double AP bottom with an AD carry mid isn't all that crazy, it just requires better coordination.

i love to watch LoL stream but i feel the same way about saintVicious or Hotshot

of course there are good players and they have a lot of skill but honestly sometimes it just makes me sick listeting to them
i mean i personally also love to trashtalk but if i have to listen to Hotshot say "faggot" ten times in 2 minutes or something like "this guy plays like he has autism" just makes me question his intelligence

why do they always have to act like the biggest douchebags on stream?

Sure there is a reason. However it's definitely not a good reason for the one particular game you're about to play.


The general idea is 1 targeted or relatively easy to land ranged CC combined with lots of damage and potentially more CC. A not so much all-in approach also requires at least 1 character with a ranged autoattack so you can still farm even if you don't straight up win the lane. Double melee lanes typically dominate really hard once they get ahead, but if they don't get there, they lose lots of farm.
There are plenty of good combinations; look at all the champs each of you can play and consider their stats/abilities unbiased. Some champs are played vastly different if you put them in a duo lane. Ignore how a champ plays in a solo lane when you want to decide if he's fit for a duo lane.

Don't take CV in such a lane. Ideally you have all 3 of Exhaust/Ignite/Heal.

Locicero/Snoopeh are both mannered. Sk Ocelote isn't bad. If you're looking for enthusiasm/energy he still has it
