Lol... one of my friends (if you watched my stream before you'd know him) thinks I can't play top when he's never actually won a top lane in his ranked games and only really has gone even. I swear, he wins one or two games and he's suddenly a know it all in what he played. Anyway, his argument for me not knowing top is because I don't play any "real" top laners like Irelia (which I really do suck with) and that playing tops like nunu and malph don't "count". Is he right in any way? Because I think he's full of shit. I recommend finding a better friend. as with most people though. people are just different in games than they are when they aren't. he's a nice guy but he thinks he's a lot better at league than he really is lol.
Applies to just about everyone you know IRL that plays the game. Sometimes, you just gotta let him think what he wants to think. Just ignore him and let it be. Yes, it can be aggravating, but if he's a IRL friend, then it's probably not worth the hassle of showing him up and calling him out and shit.
Unless he gets way outta line.

Also, what does everyone think about Riot showing each teammate's ranking from last season straight on the loading screen? Does anyone think that impacts games at certain tiers? From the one game I played last night in solo queue, our team had 4 plats and 1 gold. Our team spent like the entire game bitching about the 1 gold player whenever he made a mistake, and it kinda made the experience really rough. I can definitely see stuff such as "Oh, I'm not ganking for this silver noob" or "Man, this bronze is bad at csing so I'm gonna take his cs" happening a lot in games. I feel like at the start of the season, there's a lot of variance in games and stuff like this tends to happen quite a bit.

haven't played but it seems like a serious error

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread, but is there a chat channel where TLers congregate to form teams casually? I hadn't played in more than a year and reinstalled LoL last week.

Yeah, I had a friend complain about the same thing (except he was silver playing with 4 golds). I dont know, I think it just opens up another way for people to blame their teammates instead of them. Hopefully it wont be as big of an issue as the season goes on.

Sweet mother of fuck that's nice. Buying this on every Kog game ever. Cait is also going to get a Headshot proc every 2 autoattacks if she gets both bolts? Yes, fuck yes, always yes.

Tuned into the IPL stream and i can hear Tobi in the background casting dota, really annoying ><

Sad that Vayne doesn't get aoe silver bolts procs. That would be pretty op.

I've had one, and it's even more infuriating because it's 50 minutes rather than 25 decided by a single "oh well I'll be too heavy that one fight" moment (when I burn shurelya randuin's and half of my mana as Udyr to keep Singed and Shen off of Graves who Es over a wall to safety, you'd think he'd come back into the fight... nope, goes to farm top, with full build 50 minutes into the game >_<).
It's pretty harsh when you can tell yourself "Well I certainly could have done more good stuff, but I didn't do remotely as many dumb plays as X or Y", those games where playing safe would be enough to win but they just don't know. :<

I'm curious how some of the junglers on pro teams are going to react to the changes for S3. If the gold does put them close to/even with lane farm and jungle starts to become a carry position some of the great 'support junglers' like OddOne could have a hard time adjusting. It would be great if both carry jungle and support jungle became viable and teams could start to really stand out in terms of playstyle, but I don't really see that happening.

Varus with multiple blighted targets? That sounds pretty ridiculous...
|
Just a quick glance it doesn't seem that good. The AoE would have to be pretty large to warrant a buy I think since I item stats are quite bad. Can't seem to find cost of it either. Varus already has quite good AoE I feel and so don't really see why you would build more AoE on him instead of building to his weaknesses.

I don't know why Riot designed this item such that the two carries that have the most need for an AoE farming item have no special interactions with it's mechanics.

I just throught a bit more. Caitlyn with this item is actually ridiculous. If she's in a bush, every shot is a headshot if she hits two targets. What. The. Fuck.

They're nerfing the MS on PD (AFAIK) so it might become a viable buy for your attack speed needs after your first damage item (BT/IE)?

I wonder what the interaction is with kayle E. Is the damage from E an onhit?.....if so she'll be a goto pick in a lot of AoE comps.

Oh yea I forgot about the other item changes. Still think the item relies on the AoE being enough to almost always be hitting multiple targets in teamfights. Attackspeed on its own isn't really going to need a whole slot in your inventory. Vayne/Kog I think benefit the most from AS(Could be wrong) and yet it the passive doesn't really do anything for Vayne not to mention it goes against the whole kiting away from enemy most carries have to do in teamfights.
Don't know will have to see. Think it's a mix between a farming item and a fighting item. I don't really think items that don't have a clear strength work that well.
