Wish people were capable of reading.

a) I was joking because said meta mainly relies on ultimates vaporizing while you right click next to something. Singed ultimate does nothing of that sort, yet it's something that let's you run at people faster while pressing R.
b) I never said jungle Singed was part of said meta or a good pick.
c) ???
d) profit.
currently rooting for myself.

Is there a limit to how many ads you can play per hour? It seems reasonable to have one to prevent abuse.

And it's not like the only two choices are "ban Hotshot" and "allow people to spam ads while afk". There are plenty of other solutions, like supporting more targeted advertising so that advertisers can ask for their ads not to be shown on certain streams, something like Pandora that asks if you're still watching after a while, and so on. Hell I'm pretty sure Hotshot would stop streaming afk ads if own3d just sent him a stern email.

It's really not a big deal, although I can't really blame Boss guy for blowing it up since no one would care otherwise.

I'm thinking of picking up a new AP - looking at cass/kennen. Before I do tho, is either of them in any danger of getting hit by nerfs?

Also a lot of people feel like they are undeserving of their Elo because they do fine in a higher Elo, but don't realize that having the skillset for doing fine there is different from having the ability to carry yourself up there.

Basically, if you're at 1200 and you think you're actually 1500, then don't play like a 1500 in a 1500 game, play like a 1500 in a 1200 game.

Are we sure that that these companies are buying advertising based on views? I work in online advertising and we sell ads on a cost-per-click model. Pros and Cons to both, but I know that my advertisers would be more pissed About me showing Ads to 4k people who had a stream muted and minimized than they would About some guy afk streaming Ads while people were actually watching.

Kennen is more likely to be nerfed than Cass. I think nerfs to WotA are pretty much guaranteed. If you do pick up Kennen, don't be one of the FotM people who flash in and press R and think they're good because they got kills. Learn to play him right.

Kennen is the champion of this tournament so far, haven't seen a game where he has lost yet. Double WoTA is probably putting him in the flavour of the month though.

Cass should be fairly safe to buy, she's very strong but most people can't play her so there isn't any much forum qq.

what do you mean by play like a 1500 in a 1200? does that mean pick only carries and be more agressive than you should against a good opponet because you can just outplay or does that mean ward for others and make all the calls?

Yes, that's part of it as well. Being able to play support barely well enough for people to not yell at you in a high elo game doesn't mean that you play at that level, lol.

Personally I tend to build Viktor like this. Boots 3hppots, Roa, Ionian boots for CDR, AugmentDeath, Rabadon's, Rylais, and last item is either QSS if they have good CC, basically anything tanky.

Early laning phase in mid, tends to be somewhat of a challenge. Frequent ganks from jungler helps a lot. You really have to be agressive with the shield you get from the Power Transfer, but if you're up against a Ranged AD carry, expect to lose the lane, or just be extremely under farmed. The range on his Q is just way too low. If you're up against Annie, she can really just wreck you with her own Q, and the aoe spell. Especially if she stuns you. Not the greatest laner imo. Although I haven't tried maxing Death Ray first, I always max Power Transfer, I don't know if that'll make him better or worse. I'll have to try sometime.
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

I swore, I was one of the first to abuse the living shit out of WotA, like 4 months ago. It was simply too good, especially if another teammate grabbed a 2nd one. I think it probably became more apparent as more people started using wota, since gunblade nerf, perhaps?

Lots of ap tanky guys can at least sorta jungle now, I jungled with singed the other day... and started doran's shield... and it was still good, very fast clearing and didn't go low. Lots of people still stuck in the old jungle mindset I think, there's tons of nonstandard stuff left to discover with all these big changes.

Just cause those champs can jungle doesn't mean they should. Cho'gath could always jungle but considering how strong lane Cho is it never made sense to jungle. I would think the same would apply to any APs who can possibly jungle now.


it doesn't matter if they're good laners, if cho was as good a jungler as the other jungles at the time he'd get picked both lane and jungle. You'd just be picking them for either role instead of only one.


Don't wanna be like 'I told you so' but chaox talking up jungle singed right now on stream with almost 20,000 viewers, instant fotm.

There are TONS of good junglers now that people weren't putting in there before, people who try out and discover unconventional junglers are going to have an advantage for quite a while going forwards.

You can pick whatever you want to. It doesn't necessarily mean play aggressively, more like decisively. Capitalize on mistakes that 1200 players make that 1500 players wouldn't, and punish every mistake you see. The easiest way to "outplay" your opponent is not through fancy tricks but to just let them outplay themselves. Give them as many opportunities to make mistakes as possible, and as soon as they mess up, punish them.

I guess that applies at all Elos, but if you're a 1200 in a 1500 game, you'll probably end up getting baited most of the time lol

wow, that was really really well-worded and i agree completely
the game is completely different at 1200 from 1500 and from 1900. if you afk jungle at 1200 you might be the most farmed person in your game but still be down 30 kills because the enemy jungler only ganks and takes his buffs on respawn. whereas if you tried only ganking at 1900 you'd be a lot less successful than only afk farming because people ward a lot better etc

nice insight bro, +1
would you ever miss it?
