Riot fails hard in this situation "Oh hey guys, we've been investigating this issue for ages" But they neglected to check the patch / client update that was put on before all the issues started happening untill korea upgraded and started having problems too. Isnt that like, priority number #1? Issue with the servers? Check recently added shit. Now suddenly korea has problems with a recent update they're all "it'll be fixed in 10 mins!" | ||

From what I see, toplane Zac usually max Q->E and jungle Zac either max W or E. I don't know if I'm the only one doing that but there are certain champs I mix the way I skill them up. Zac is one of them. I usually get 2 or 3 points into jump then max W for jungle Zac unless I feel like I need a stronger slow in which case I go for Q. I still think flash is too important because it allows you to move while bouncing and CC as many people as possible in a TF, then come back onto the squishier targets to finish them off. | ||

"I love trash-talk. PraY is good, probably better than me in lane with Caitlyn - but he's dead wrong. There's not very many Korean ADs that play at a high level at all" Just because korean ad carries play with other 4 good players and don't afk farm to 400 cs and get all the team kills does that mean they don't "play at a high level at all". He also admits that Korea is the most talented region, is there something mystic about the ad carry position that makes koreans bad at it while they're the best at every other position? | ||

Doublelift also called Europe's bot lanes weak (lacking fundamentals was how he put it), and I'm sure he doesn't think NA's bot lanes play at a high level. I think Doublelift's criticism just stems from the fact that in his mind a "high level" of play for ADC is a nebulous mechanically perfect playstyle that nobody will reach. I think the only ADC that he's ever shown respect for is Weixiao. | ||

Doublelift calling himself the most overrated player in the world atm :p He is almost bipolar in his estimation of himself, one day he is the destroyer of worlds, in another he is a piece of garbage. It's the same with his evaluation of other players too, there's certain he respects to no ends, and others have to jump over hoops just to get a nod of recognition. It's a trend I've noticed amongst professional players. They really are heavily influenced by their current form, their confidence level, what they experienced in the past, and their recent performances. Their view of the world swings so heavily by these factors that they are almost no different from the fans when it comes to having heavily biased views on various topics. I can assure you that his glowing praise towards MadLife is almost entirely due to the fact that his Thresh single handidly ruined Doublelift's laning phase against Korea. Imagine if Thresh had been banned instead of Lee Sin, and MadLife had picked a more passive, and less broken champion such as Lulu, then he might have never gotten the nod of approval from Doublelift to the degree he showed here. All this from the two games he played from an All Stars Championship. One day he is a world class player, and after two games of living up to his fame MadLife suddenly becomes a god in the eyes of Doublelift and the Western viewership. Then again, Doublelift manages to keep his opinion on WeiXiao fairly stable despite facing against him in perhaps the most hyped match-up because he has a certain degree of respect for him. He relates to WeiXiao on the hardships he has faced due to ever-changing bottom lane partnerships and subpar supporting in general that affected his performances over the past few months. It's also part of the reason why he feels so reluctant to acknowledge Korean AD carries in general because of his past experience in Korea. Cpt Jack was an AD carry that had enough qualities to function well in a well-oiled machine that was Azubu Blaze (in my opinion the best team in the world at the time), and when he came out victorious against world famous AD carries such as Doublelift, and WeiXiao, the Korean press lauded undeserved praise towards him, championing him as the best AD carry in the world. It was an injustice towards superior AD carries at the time, and Doublelift has never been hesitant to call out the mediocre skillset of Cpt Jack (and his fellow Korean AD carries) relative to their success and recognition world-wide. While his views exposed the truth at the time, it has gotten to the point where any AD carry from Korea automatically gets a stigma that the support player is doing all the work, and nothing he does becomes impressive in the eyes of Doublelift. It's a biased way of looking at the world that was influenced by the negative experience he had in the past, and he'll never accept world class AD carries such as PraY with the ease he'll accept the likes of WeiXiao for example. Of course, Doublelift isn't alone in this. We all have our biases, but it's easier to read into Doublelift's because his story and background is so well known. | ||

Ryze, Ori, Kha and Kennen as my go to champion pool for now. All champs are fun to play for me, and except for Ori, relatively easy. Then the obvious question appeared WHY ISN'T THERE A PIKACHU KENNEN YET? + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbemzlgVbd1r1j8owo1_1280.png) | ||

Like i had 100 apm max cause i suck dick, so i mainly won games off of strategy and better micro (i used to be able to micro like a boss in scbw from all those UMS lotr defense games, hue). But my macro sucked cock due to it. If i needed to micro it meant my macro went to shit ;-; so when i was done microing in a fight i'd have a billion resources but no troops and would instadie. na man, I was fraudulent as fuck at broodwar. thank god LoL came along so that I could actually be good at a game among TLers. I guess to be fair, I didn't even try to play BW competitively until like Fall 08, but yea, still sucked.

Then the obvious question appeared WHY ISN'T THERE A PIKACHU KENNEN YET? + Show Spoiler + Mid lane is by far the hardest lane to get to play. Not saying that should really impact your choice in role but I personally find mid lane to be the most fun and enjoyable role but find myself rarely getting to play it and usually forced onto ADC, support, or jungle because I don't really mind filling other positions and someone absolutely always wants to play mid. It's probably the only role where you can only reasonably depend on getting it if you're 1st or 2nd pick. By 3rd pick mid is usually gone lol. | ||

Did someone put Dlift on Ritalin or something? Or did they just take him off of something else? | ||

In lane Q is best because of the damage rate on it. However in the jungle, E is better for ganks and W gives better sustained damage. W would be better in a lane where you can sit on a target and get several Ws off in a row, however, more often than not you're going to be farming/trading with a single combo, so one Q is better than one W. | ||

If you strive to be the best you'll never get there, but you can fall a bit short and end up world-class. Anyone can have a bad day and lose to another godlike player, but it's all about the bigger picture This is actually a fucking great quote from his AMA. Glad his AMA actually answers questions; fucking St.V's ama were all like 2-4 word answers. another gem the most important thing I took away from Allstars is that everyone makes mistakes, and frequently. It's about the long walk, not the short run | ||
