You can recognize him in the picking phase because he will often claim lanes/champs very early on and try to convince everybody to leave him that position. Ingame he will play throughout aggressively NO MATTER WHAT. Even if behind, even when pushing like a madman and even when 3 misses. This type often has some decent mechanical skill but the his understanding is like 40% of the players on his elo. If he doesn't get ganked early on and can play his game, then he will freaking carry you. If not, then he will blame his team and feed on, honestly believing that what he is doing is the right thing. The best way to handle these guys is to support them as much as possible I think.. And then this guy changes his nickname to something stupid like "HotShotGG" and starts streaming his games for money. | ||

Morg could clear about as quick as anyone, would have sick ganks, and with her passive probably have pretty darn good sustain too. ... I mean this is all theorycraft, but why has no one ever tried it? (aside from their being more rice in the lane) o.o I saw saint do it and it worked really well, so then I tried it two games. Won one, lost one. Early on it's kind of hard cuz her spells dont do much dmg and she takes a beating from the creeps (I think I went cloth 5, you need pots), gotta b at lvl 4 or so and you're very vulnerable before then. But once you get lvl 7-8 and ur first few items it's really fast clears and good ganks. | ||

Unrelated bit: Dynno broadaster appears to hate LoL. Changing from non-game client to game client stops the streaming and trying to get the stream going once you're in game (and in windowless) won't happen. I can stream SC2, Skyrim ,and anything else without this issue. | ||

But by late game I was doing typical annie stuff- running forward, dropping tibbers, chunking carries for their entire health bars. The kind of sucky thing is that you need ghost instead of flash, but its not THAT big a deal. And hybrid pen runes are fucking terrible because of how little mpen they actually give. If you are going for flat pen, you want to be able to cut through EVERYTHING a squishy has at low level (ie all 30). They just dont do that. Not to mention there isnt a single character who actually DOES benifit from hybrid penetration anymore. Much more efficient to itemize and rune 1 penetration and go from there. | ||

 The opponents had a decent amount of CC (Viktor, Vayne, Soraka, Yorick, Leesin), but they never sent it my way. I proceed to go 4/0/7 and wreck in the single teamfight of the game. | ||

If so which runes/masteries/build or which match ups do you prefer and which ones do you avoid? i dabble with kat at 1900 if that counts go top lane, spam BB with your trollface on, farm while other top has to repeatedly b after about lvl 7-ish. get gunblade/rylai's, win game. 21-9 heal/ignite lots of ap rune page Brees does, can't link to post though. | ||

Also, obviously there's a much longer history for professional (hardcore) SC. | ||

I've lost like 10 games and 100 elo because of the 1700 players not being able to stop dying to an obvious ganking champion. At the start of every game vs a lee sin i type in caps, LEE SIN GANKS AT LV2, DONT AGGRO TILL YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS PLEASE. Then I look really really carefully for which direction enemy laners come from to lane so that i can type in caps again, MID CAME FROM RED SIDE, CARE TOP/MID FOR EARLY GANK. I believe that lowers the chance your mid gets first blooded by at least half from something like 100% to 50%. I honestly wish I play a good lee, he seems like the most capable champion to kill a game with from getting your carries early kills and counterjungling weak junglers. You can force so many gank opportunities from every path of every lane that no other junglers except rammus can match. | ||

Also against cc ults it seems like the supports could just get a QSS instead of Shurelias to screw up Galio, WW, Malz ults even if they get caught. | ||

You judge people by random solo Q performances? Way to go. By the way, I was in a state of mind a couple of months ago a while after I started understanding the game a little when I thought I'd see pros do mistakes allllll the time. Took me a bit to realize how bad I actually am and how a little humbleness would make me improve a lot. Comparing LoL to starcraft is really dumb anyways. There's a fuckton of mechanics to overcome in order to play SC any way near decent, while the quality of a player in League of Legends shows in situations where you have to make quick decisions based on a given amount of information at this point. Like, you know that you can 1v2 this Annie/Soraka as Panth because Annie just dropped Tibbers 30 seconds ago and you counted her W cooldown. Taking her down is the easy part when that situation arises. In SC, you have to actually be on top of your game 100% of the time in order to macro up and create situations where you are on top of or at least equal to your enemy. On another note, how could you ever end a statement that's odd to make to say the least in such a bad fashion? It's not like Starcraft. Well, of COURSE it is not like Starcraft. It's a whole different genre, it's a 5v5 game instead of 1v1, it's... Sorry, but that statement was just so not well thought out. | ||

When I watch a silver league stream I see many mistakes aswell, does that mean sc has a low skillcap aswell? Not the place for this anyways. | ||
