I'm loving this 1v1 trend shit. It makes for great additions to the pro drama. And like... GOOD pro drama, based on skill, not bullshit. Wickd's Ignite/Exhaust cheese would like to have a word with you.

They generally learn faster when you give them one thing at a time to work towards. Intermediate bots have strange sets of runes. I recommend the newb play against other newbs instead of playing with his friend. His friend is a level 30. No shit the newb is going to get carried for a few games but he's going to have his ELO artificially increased and go 0-8 for his next 20-30 games. That's no fun and it's no way to learn. It's just fun for the friend because he can go positive in all his games by smurfing.
If the friend wants him to improve him can watch him and give him advice instead of playing on the same team as him.
If the friend just wants to have fun and it's no fun losing because he feeds, then just play arams.

I still agree that it's fun, and the Riven v Riven mirror match is an amusing one.

What's this about "not bullshit"? I still agree that it's fun, and the Riven v Riven mirror match is an amusing one. Well I mean, Nunu is strong, but there's nothing bullshit about picking AP Nunu with Flash/Ignite. That's a realistic game scenario, which beat a "cheese build", so I don't see why there isn't at least a fair amount of skill involved.

Well Nunu loses hard vs camping / ganking etc. whereas in straight 1v1 he is just about unbeatable, that's why it's not exactly realistic.
|
Well, for the sake of discussion, how would one play the riven vs riven Matchup? Obviously start fort pot + 6 health potions, but then what would you do to win the lane consistently, aside from having better combo mechanics.
Mirror matchups are often pretty dumb.

Honestly, tournament 1v1 should be 3 kills/2 towers, not FB/first tower. The only reason cheese is an option is that if you get the kill, you don't need to worry about how you play out the lane after both of your summoner's are down because the match is over.

That's why they're making the 1v1 map. All-Stars hooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Now if she gets buffed and and becomes FotM then you should worry.

gotta love how there's always something secret OP for free elo, you Diamond 1 by end of next week shikyo?:D

Is there something that would make Nunu particularly susceptible to ganks? He doesn't push much, has a huge burst heal and is probably one of the best candidates for double killing people for trying to kill him.

Well he seems to have given up on Syndra according to his post saying he can't find a champ, so...
And Nunu has no escape. He's not weak by any means (high HP pool) but if you can catch him when he doesn't have a minion to nom, he has to pray Blood Boil will save enough time to get to tower before he dies. (Last time somebody decided to play Nunu top while I was jungling, I accomodated to be top at level 3 with double buff, since we had Jarvan the level 2 was in his favor, and killing Nunu before his sustain can wear Jarvan down allows the lane to be much easier, esp. since Jarvan with a level advantage has strong burst due to base damage.) I wouldn't try it with Nautilus however, because ganking at 3 gimps his clearing a ton.

I got all of them but after about 105 i had to look at the league wiki list of champ portraits to pick up a few
anivia and the new champ were the last ones, i guessed lissandra because she was the new champ and i had no idea about the frozen tomb and it was similar to glacial storm. xerath/viktor/syndra took a whil ebecause they are all similar in my head in terms of idea and also 2 of the ADs that commentators never use the word for their ults (vayne/draven)
|
Blocked at 111 at the moment, some names I had a hard time getting (like Cyclone, despite playing the champ the first thing I thought about was Janna, with such a name). Looked up the portraits and one of the final 2 was so obvious in retrospect. x_x + Show Spoiler +Impale for Skarner, the other one was Shadow Assault for Talon. I need to play him some more. :')

I got 96, I knew Caitlin and Casseopia's but couldn't spell their names right (still can't lol). I didn't realize how many "Shadow something" ultimates there are lol.
