Jax's base damage is so sick you should worry mostly about staying alive. CDR and tank stats go along way. People like trinity and blade of the ruined king on him but I think 1 of them is more than enough damage wise and you should go tank after that. Jax is an awful lot like xin zhao but better sustained damage but worse engage and his CC isn't as spammable, nor is his gapcloser. | ||

You actually get more IP per time invested in a 40 minute game than a 20 minute one. The IP/minute spent in-game is roughly the same, but then you also had ~30 seconds of queue time and however long it took to select champions and load. | ||

Yes but dommie games get an extra bonus for just being dommie games and those have a nice floor to them. | ||

You get more IP/min with a win than with a loss.Therefore, it is desirable to quit the current game and start a new one. | ||

At the end of Season 2, we saw a very split-push heavy, spread out way of playing the game, as exemplified by TPA's 3 lane pressure style, but also picked up on by many other teams. Eve thrives in this kind of environment because she applies strong solo gank pressure. She limits the strength of split-pushing, she counter-ganks for your solo-farming carries easily, etc. S3 patch we see people just playing 5-man much earlier. We see this in the resurgence of AoE teamfight comps. Teams are grouping up very early, and gameplay is heavily teamfight-focused, which makes life more difficult for a gank-focused champ like Eve. Wasn't she also considered OP because if fed/farmed she scaled really well with her ability to drop ~40% health (before taking MR into account) of a whole team, on top of sniping one of the squishies? | ||

Seriously how can someone be fine for 5 minutes into the game and all through champ select, then all of a sudden as soon as someone dies turns into a mouth breathing window licker on the short bus. Stop letting emotions play for you solo q. You'll have fun. I promises. | ||

Stop letting emotions play for you solo q. You'll have fun. I promises. Why do people tilt when playing anything? Tilting is irrational by definition, pretty much. People confuse me too though. Especially people who complain to the other team in All chat; as soon as you do that you've basically decided you would rather complain than win. | ||

Stop letting emotions play for you solo q. You'll have fun. I promises. Especially at lower ELO, you pretty much have to be the team psychologist to keep people playing. It's the single most frustrating part of this game, so many people have no mental fortitude whatsoever. Honestly though it's prevalent in real life as well, people lack gumption and prefer to feel sorry for themselves. | ||

What I dislike most about LoL: The Community Now, before we get into this circlejerk I do not mean the "toxic players". TBH, coming from a background in DotA / competitive side of WoW, the "toxic player" situation is rather tame. This post is about the communities that surround LoL, and the social relationships in-game. Currently, I have my friends list divided into a few categories which somewhat symbolize my social relationships in this game. I have a competitive category, a content-creator category, a RL category, a general category, and a "Friend" category. While I am a serious gamer, I like to take games lightheartedly. I often prefer playing with friends on VOIP, chilling doing random crazy things or experimenting or just playing a standard game to relax. This is where my "Friends" category comes in, these are the people who I regularly hang out with and when I log onto LoL after a long day of class/work I check who is on and ask them to play. However, as of the last few weeks I have noticed something in particular. Most of these people are not people who I met playing LoL, they are mostly friends from my previous historys in DotA or WoW. That despite playing WoW back in my middle years of High School, and here I am graduating college this semester, I have probably more friends from those connections than I have gained in my 2 years of playing LoL. And while, maybe this is just because I am taking in less friends, or being more anti-social or whatever, I have been thinking and I believe it is in part to the game. Don't get me wrong, I don't think its a flaw in game design or that Riot should change something, but I've just found the LoL experience to be so impersonal. Every solo Q is with 9 random people, rarely running into the same person twice (until I got high elo). The communities are so big and over-saturated that only really content-creators and famous people stick out. There is very little memorable discussion (most of it is easy to digest, short and simple content with maybe the lowest levels of discussion), and even if there is you won't remember their names when you read their next comment on a post a week later. I've tried to find some decently sized community which I crave from being a forum-nerd back in DotA, but to no avail despite trying LoLreddit, solomid, team liquid, or even trying to create discussion on sites like lolking, lolpro, or other random blog sites. I don't know if its just me, but I just find it a bit sad how I feel no real comradery between this community. Theres nobody who just wants to take a break from LoL for a bit and play ns2 with, or talk about spec ops: the line, or just link funny youtube videos. The social connections are almost simply based on performance, and people just want to hit the solo Q button again and again. I don't know if this is actually a problem, or if its just me. And if it is a problem I don't know a solution, I'm just kinda sad  . | ||

MMos are all abou the social aspect, multiplayer games about gameplay. | ||

Isn't this a problem with all new games? Playing NS2, do you really remember specific people from the game? I only remember Morello, and that's because he's Morello. | ||

I've never felt that way with teamliquid filling all my needs for it. whenever I want to go do something else I just go do it with my pony friends (even if most of them are dota fiends) | ||
