Highly doubt that will help at all unless you sit quite far away from your screen.

is that the xsplit preview window? I could see that on a support/jungle role but dont think it's viable for any other position,

What does that change?
You can just... you know... look at the minimap. On your screen.

You have to completely shift your focus to another screen, that just doesn't work. The whole thing about map awareness is that you have it while still doing things in the game. Having to shift focus destroys that.

I think the point was that the minimap isn't obtrusive enough in the corner, so some people want to make it fucking huge and in your face so it forces you to notice movement/wards. But it's better just to train yourself to look at it, something that most people on TL had from BW or SC2

So am I the only one surprised that NOBODY has picked up Xerath since his latest buffs? I thought for sure some talented AP mid would abuse him, especially with the buffs he got. I've seen his gameplay increase by zero since in games that I've played in or watched.
Hey! How you doin'?

Xerath, Brand, Viktor, Syndra..... they all suffer the same problem and underplayed because of it.

Xerath was never BAD... He's just too boring to play. nobody is able to play him for more than 2 consecutive games. It's not possible.

One of the few champs where you'd need to buff him into braindead heights for people to touch him.

quick question for the more talented players than me on TL: is gangplank viable at all? I shat on one last night as nunu in top lane, and everytime i see one, he doesn't do too well. he's kind of fun, but he doesn't seem particularly good atm. is it just my terrible elo (900-1000) or is he really just bad

You can play Yorick and feel happiness in how incredibly stupid Yorick is to play against for the other guy.

Xerath doesn't even have that. He is boring to PLAY, not boring to play AGAINST.

Yeah, but Xerath doesn't auto-win lane against 99% of mids. Yorick does that for top

I'm not good by any means, but my $0.02: GP is fine, but not super strong. Late game GP is fucking terrifying, early game is good but not great and gets beaten by many popular tops. He's fine if you know how to play him and get big items on him, he's pretty mediocre if shut down. Good use of ult can really help teamfights.

At least put the screen to the right. After playing every time I hear pings/see suspicious enemy movement I just immediately glance bottom right. Would seem weird now having been so used to it.

He gets beat up a lot early game. Snowballs really hard because his passive is built in phage, but there are definitely better tops atm. His early-midgame relies a lot on getting kills and assists through his ultimate while saving for big items. His lategame is extremely terror(1k+ parley crits ftw), but you have to get there with some big items, which is a problem. He's really one of the few champions that benefits from going full metagolem(aka needs a fuckton of gold) to be strong.

I fucking hate GP ult. If he's on your team, cannonballs don't hit shit. If he's on the other team, 4 cannonballs in a row on your carry and you.

I actually can't think of the last time more than one cannonball hit a single person. I just think of it as a global slow that makes people irrationally lose their shit when it's on them.

GP probably can't ever be buffed to be too good because of how dependent he is on the RNG. Really fun to play though.

The other day I was on the run with 30hp left and the whole enemy team behind me and enemy GP ulted on top of my face. I made it out alive
