I decided to try out maxing W first on Syndra after seeing a few comments here about it and I have to say I like it a lot more than Q first. Feels comfortable on just a chalice if you don't spam too much, and the slow is very nice for follow up harass.
I actually went the reverse route, switching from maxing W to maxing Q. W has nice range and good damage when you hit it, but it telegraphs itself so much that I feel it's unreliable against an alert opponent in lane.

Also, I really suck at last hitting with many of the older champs like him. I'm bad. =( damn, i must be playing this game for too long now for yorick to be considered an older champ D: Wukong and earlier are old champs to me. That's when I started playing.
I remember when i started playing, there wasnt even 40 champions yet.

I remember when I started playing, I'd never seen the idea of grass before and i think it was botlane Morgana(me)+Ashe(friend) against a solo Nunu who just abused Snowball+Grass and dominated us hard. Beta real terror!

I remember when I started playing we had to install it via a disk, and none of the champions had names or abilities like they do now.

I remember when we had to walk 20 miles in the snow, and carry the packets of data back by hand, to install on our atari.

on a related but still completely true note, when i started the game, soraka's ult had a 2.0 AP ratio, healed 100-150 more base heal, and had like 30s shorter cd at all levels.
and she was considered a trash tier champ h4h4h4

Remember when that one champ called Wukong came out? Yeah those were the days..
|
I remember that when I started playing everyone would just rush to the lane bush and endlessly facecheck into each other. Kog Maw was new, and there used to be things called hybrids.

when I started the game heimer could have 5 turrets and you needed 3 other champions to stop him from pushing solo against every turret.
Also Twisted Fate's gold card was an aoe stun.
Also his ult was his E...
also that game looked fuuuuggllyy
Basically games were decided by which Twisted Fate locked gold card faster

Good times.

my only problem with jayce is that he has two disengages that cost pretty much nothing for some reason. It makes it just so hard to trade with him in lane because the typical strategy vs burst - which is really all he has - is to just stick it out and end up ahead on damage, but it costs him nothing to just fly across the lane after blowing his load all over you. His other strengths are real - he can poke ok, shurelya's is very good - but they're not really abusive. I would guess they're gonna increase both his e manacosts by a lot and that'll probably fix him because his 100% safe rotation won't be free anymore.

the game was better and more exciting then it is now, they've taken a few step backwards by toning down the power level as much as they have now. Champs are so weak compared to what they used to be.

General question: when jungling: do you gank the lane that needs to be ganked, or the one that's easy to gank?
Situation. I'm Hec jungle. Top is overextended and not warded, but our Yorick is doing fine on farm and kills. Mid is getting shit on, but Annie is playing way safe and always seems to have her stun ready when I show up. Top doesn't need my help, mid does, but mid is nigh impossible to gank, while top is easy.
Opinions?

I remember when we had to control the game with tapes.

When I first signed up for League, Kog'Maw had just come out.

Been watching Navi on Wings' stream. Entertaining stuff. Especially when Wings keeps saying "I fully penetrate Vlad"

I think I enjoyed the game most around Spring/Summer of 2011, right around the releases of Rumble/Vayne/Orianna (and also coinciding with the remade GP and people discovering Lee Sin's strength). Junglers were powerful, laners wer powerful, everyone was powerful, and there were a good maybe 10+ picks amongst which people couldn't decide what was banworthy. Honestly speaking, I feel I enjoy the game less now than I did back then.
tl;dr this game has been getting worse ever since Yorick got added to the game

More like which Twisted Fate won the race to 20 mejai stack. There was also the fiddle meta and the Twitch + Kayle meta.

You took the words right out of my salivating mouth.
