They really need to fix that goddamn thing.
LEAGUE POINTS PROCESSING I don't track my LP if they decide to display LEAGUE INFO PROCESSING, which is pretty much all the time. At the end of the day I just go into the leagues tab, and I'm like, cool, I have 57 points, fancy that. Tracking your gains and losses for every single game is just going to drive you crazy. The LP system is designed to long-term track your MMR, so it makes sense to only look at it in a long term perspective (i.e. once a day or so). They'll tell you explicitly if you get into a promo series, so you don't even have to worry about missing that.
I check after everygame, but that's because I'm Silver I and sometimes a Bronze IV asks me to duo with her, so I like to look at the difference it makes when I'm mostly against Silver III/IV players, or Silver I/Gold V. Doesn't seem too huge (I'm negative by less than 1 on average if we go 1-1).
I'd do a better job giving her optimism and patience courses than duo-ing with her though, looks like I can't carry consistently anymore at that level.  Which says a lot (granted I refuse to first pick Olaf anymore after his nerfs, but on the other hand my Leona seems to be able to compensate for her inability to play aggro as Trist).

113/113 with 5:24 to go. Syndra was the last one; I was lucky to remember she existed and realize I hadn't used her yet.

Is there a known bug where you can't trade champs?

Yep, I think it mostly happens when both parties want to trade at the same time.

If I say Neo three times will it summon him?
Neo, Neo, Neo!
(Check your PMs)
Is anyone playing Pantheon at all? I don't think I've seen him in like any streamed games in a long time...
Seems people just play Kha instead (sadface).
Aww, my LP dropped so much these past 2 months

Power creep kinda laughed at Pantheon's previously godlike laning, and in teamfights he doesn't hold a candle to Elise/Kha'Zix/Zed/Jayce when it comes to assassinations (he probably has better burst than Elise, but she has way stronger dps, and 2 means of escape) while not being as good as Elise/Kha'Zix with defensive items (huge base damage and natural scaling (%hp) on Elise reduce the need for damage items, Kha'Zix has spammable poke so he doesn't have to 100-0 and resets on jump and passive).
He's probably still fine for soloQ, but mid rather than top, and he's just not as good as the alternatives.
Sad.

last week in LCS, Hyrqbot played a mean Patheon in the jungle, I don't remember though which SK game it was, SK had blueside though! :D

I think he's not in the greatest mood after CLGs games earlier today.
Actually Pantheon laning is still godly. Khazix for example has far weaker laning.
I think that Pantheon's main draw and unappreciated thing is his E being AoE and ranged. I think there's alternative styles to playing him apart from jumping one target and allining, more of a zoning antidive style with E.

needed the list for shadow of war and daring bombardier (i knew it was a yordle and probably and ad carry but mind went full retard damn it)
the only reason I'm good at these was before leaguewiki was popular you had to google champ names and the title showed up in the link next to the name and sometimes the name and title was required
corki title i always forget and hecarim is a new champ (and hard to guess from the title to boot) so when you look up champs on league wiki now you only need the champ name

Hi all, I love TL and recently have switched over to playing league from sc2, and I just started playing ranked in silver 5. I've mostly play jungle in soloq, and had a question about jungling at my level in soloq.
From what I understand, there are two main types of jungle playstyles; gank-dependent and farm-dependent. I either play a champ with the ability to snowball and attempt to secure early game kills and assists, or sit back, farm, and help defend towers. I often hear that a jungler is meant to help lanes get fed, and not necessarily carry themselves. I understand this at high elos and in competitive play. In silver, however, most people don't know how to control their lanes or how to capitalize on successful no-kill ganks (e.g. burning summoners, etc...). I also am not knowledgeable enough about the game to pull of successful tower dives when players constantly push towers. That being said, I'm often confused about how to play in solo q when there is little cooperation from lanes.
I love to be a playmaker and to be ganking often, so my favorite and main junglers are high-skillcap champs like Zed and Lee Sin, but they tend to be dependent on early game kills. Does anyone have suggestions of how to play those junglers in soloQ when your lanes play as if there is no jungler? All other things aside, should I sit back and farm, or keep trying to create opportunities in lane? Are there any other fun middle of the road junglers that will let me be an aggressive jungler that scale well off farm into mid-game? I play Jarvan and Nasus occassionally, and I think they fall into that category, but honesty I find them pretty boring in terms of mechanical difficulty. Thanks for any help xD

-If you can gank and theres a high chance of a kill do it
-If you can gank and cause a meaningful lead to your lane (the other guy is out of pots or something, little risk for the opposing jungler to gank), do it.
-If your lane is ahead meaning you can gank and dive OR countergank do it
anytime else farm is the safe option but sometimes helping lanes even when you can't do that much might be necessary, but that' a higher judgement and its best to stick to the obvious answers. The main thing you need is information and that is from playing out mentally how the gank will play out and if you can kill him and watching the lanes (notice things like lane pushing, and aggression which can lead to an easy bait from your ally(ies))

With Vanguard being as powerfful as it is it is also unlikey that we'll see double AP making a comeback, and that's where Kennen was actually very good at.

Not sure if starting jungle with a pick like Zed is the best idea. Sure he scales well and got sick damage but his lack of CC is kind of a problem, ye sure you kill people with death mark but a good stun/snare/knock up is more reliable (especially in teamfights)
I would rather go jarvan, vi or even xin if i had to go for some aggressive jungler/playmaker like you call them, they have good damage and bring good cc to the table.
Lee sin is fine though :p
Plan B is to duo with an anivia player and pick trundle in the jungle, dem plays man.
|
Anivia most fun aram champ. Your ally out of position? BETTER WALL THEM OFF LOLOL.
I think i caused half of my teams deaths, huehuehue. I'm an asshole
|
things is, with zed even if you do really bad for awhile, his stupid ad scaling kicks in and eventually you just negate the enemy team's really farmed carry and pick off another guy who's low every team fight. doesn't matter if you start 0/4, you'll finish 12/6.
