AP/lvl can be very important on some APs like Gragas, Ziggs or TF, where you want to oneshot casterminions with a single skill.

MR is better for most others.

Also, that should be a no-brainer, but AP/lvl is better against an AD based mid. Talon, Sivir, ...

Pulling this from pages back but I think your nostalgia is incorrect here. There have been some boring farmfests lately but you can argue (except in CLG.eu's deliberate turtle comp case) that it mostly comes from bad play from the lower ranked teams. TSM playing "standard" nowadays is a million times more aggressive than what we saw in WCG (I think it was) at the beginning of season 1 where *every* game was a long boring farmfest until team fights started lategame. TF split pushing, Jiji's Anivia walls were the only real highlights and people joked endlessly about "Press R to win" AoE comps centered around Amumu and Galio.

How much of that is just people learning to play aggressive midgames more intelligently though?

What's the tradeoff between AP/lvl and flat MR blues for mid?

Aren't MR blues just better if you plan on trading at any time? What benefits does AP/lvl provide? I can only think of easier creep wave farming with AoE skills



I run MR blues like 95% of the time. Just better for trading. AP/lvl gives you more stats at a high level, but lane is too important and there aren't that many lanes where you want AP/lvl over MR.

What you think you guys average APM is during a game? I think mine is around 40-50 but I dont have those programs from SC that can track it

I think it should be a lot higher than that. I'm constantly moving around to correct my path/ make myself unpredictable for skillshots. I mash a lot of spells really hard too, though I guess it doesn't count when they're on CD. I'm guessing I'm at least around 150 per minute from all that moving. I play support mainly, so I'm not sure if people who play other roles would have higher or lower APM.

My APM is probably really high, but I spam click a lot so It doesn't matter.

Eh, I don't think you need more actually.

I'm a pretty slow guy, the max I could push my APM in SC was like ~80 (and even that was hard on me ;_;)
The only role where I even remotely come close to that is when I'm AD carry, since you need to reposition like every half second.
On the other hand, jungler needs barely 20 APM (rightclick camp, sometimes use skills)
The rest can be in the middle.

I think ~50 APM is very much sufficient for LoL. Anything above that will mostly be spam-clicks for moving/lasthitting.

But I'm just guesstimating, since no APM count.

I loled.

You have a point Yango. It's really hard to say how the game would have developed with fewer knee-jerk changes but, and I'm purely speculating, I think those quick patch cycles and champ releases were necessary to keep new players coming and engaged for LoL's growth. It certainly worked on me despite my skepticism.

Seems far less relevant for LoL than SC. In SC you're constantly doing various actions, and its important to start your APM high to actually keep up in the middle of the game when things get hectic. In LoL, your keyboard actions (abilities) are used far less frequently, and its all about perfect timing. Sure, some people get the mouse going pretty fast, I know I do, but honestly, it's not strictly necessary. If you played with a limited APM in LoL, you're not limited in the same way you are in SC, assuming you're playing smart.

TL:DR Read 20-40 APM is alright for LoL, but gets you no where in SC!

Galio is pretty low damage so you need a comp with pretty bruisery guys to make up for it and right now double tank with tank support and heavy damage AP and AD is what people are using atm

Blah meta. I want more assassin jungles and tank mids.


that doesn't make sense meta or not
assassins need the most farm and tanks need the least

what
leblanc surely needs a lot of items to be effective, right
so does akali
sure talon and panth get 2x better with a brutalizer and then a bt but they have enough damage to kill squishies even with just a couple dorans
exception is like kass and diana

assassins only really need levels to kill squishies
sure, to kill tanks and bruisers, they needs lots of gold
but thats not their job anyway


Don't really agree with this, in the sense of jungling assasins you rely completely on getting fed early. Sure, if you manage to get a couple of kills with your dorans playing talon or panth you can stay relevant through the game, but if that doesn't happen you´ll just be dead weight later on. Playing mao'kai or amumu you can go 0-4 and still have a presence in the mid-lategame. As soon as you get your aegis you´ll be able to start tanking shit, and your spells provide a ton of utility as well.

Well, my incredible spam clicking explains the shitty condition of my mouse I guess. I tryhard support

Random math (sorry off topic):
Got mouse in 7th grade

Play 2 hours of BW per day for 3 years
Average ~200 APM (very generous)

2*60*365*3*200= 26,280,000. Ouch.

60 apm when playing most champions. 180 apm when playing Ryze and Eve.

Oh and 400 apm spike for Katarina teamfight clean up.
