Looks like we're back to status quo. Hope more of you lurkers unburrow and talk with us. :3 If you have any issues or comments about the new design, feel free to PM Neo. |

I feel so dumb. Played starcraft for years, improved by watching replays of my own play. How did it take me so long to get LoL recorder and do the same thing for LoL. Being lazy installing third party software is a bitch (also riot pls REPLAY).
To everyone looking to improve forget about the elo hell reddit posts just watch yourself in 10 or so replay to realize how much you suck. I never realized how MANY mistakes I used to do between level 1->4 of the laning phase. If I take midlane here were the most common mistakes (occuring at least a couple times in the timeframe before hitting 4 which is a short time srsly ._.)
-missing CS I shouldn't miss -missing opportunities to auto/harass the enemy laner -positioning like a pig in range of auto/harass from the enemy laner when going for CS -going for CS I shouldn't go for and eating unecessary harass and losing a bunch of hp for 20 gold -not warding early enough/going to put a ward randomly and missing CS for it instead of planning it -walking around in dangerous area despite having a ward and having to blow summoners for no reason on early ganks from the "dark" side -missing CS
It's like missing your second SCV by 10 sec on starcraft. Then being supply blocked.
"but I have 90cs+ by 10minute mark like high elo streamers" that's so WRONG, it's like hitting max armies in SC vs no opponent.
most of these I wasn't even aware I played so bad. Then watched a few replay and I was like "who the fuck is this dumbass playing". Another side benefit is that it also makes you much more forgiving of other people's misplay. Starting to understand better the "Everyone is trash including myself even if I don't say it" from liftlift.
Then just believe whatever Yango and good players on LoL GD say about item builds. Gain Elo.
TL-DR I finaly realized I suck at this game thanks to LoL recorder

Nien and Hai both wanted to play mid. Nien got the role because they picked up Turtle and needed a jungle player still. I think his goal to play on an LCS team ranked above his desire to play mid/solo lane.

Inb4 RP to NA
So I finally managed to get DotA 1 and have been playing against bots. I have been testing out a lot of the characters and they all seem really cool. Drow Ranger and Viper are EZ mode (against bots at least). But really, I am playing it to keep up some decent mechanics. Anything besides map awareness and last hitting that is transferable to LoL?

Don't you have to finish top two at the end of split tourney in LCS NA to make worlds?
As the self proclaimed second biggest CLG fan on here (Damn you neo) I'm worried about the jiji jungle change but excited by nien in top lane.

Reddit is starting to blow up, I guess they are gonna do the same thing as last time when NA got their boost "we have an IP boost ready for you guys too, it's in the pipeline we just couldn't announce it at the same time because of timezones/whatever reason, I hope we will communicate better in the future"
Or maybe not, freeskin to EU would be outrageous.
Either way it's fun, I don't mind so much the downtime or the bugs even though having to reboot your computer to log back in when you get DC'd from a game is annoying. At least people don't expect you to gank when you play jungle and connect late so you can xj9 all day with the perfect excuse of "sorry riot put me behind I need to catch up".

MoonBear's a CLG fan too. He and I are the only CLG fans on staff. We're severely outnumbered but never outgunned~
As for the CLG's roster change, I actually worry more about Nien than jiji. I don't think many of you realize the difficulty of Top Lane at the competitive level, even in a weak region like NA LCS. jiji has brain smarts when it comes to League, he's proven that time and again. Jungler pool is pretty small compared to Top and you really need to tunnel on superior picks (Nasus) and have some niche picks depending on your team's play style (Noc). Top Lane is also a misnomer, considering the increasing frequency of lane swaps in LCS.
Mechanically, there are very few players at Nien's level but it comes down to his decision making. When to split push, when to group, etc. Honestly it's going to be hard to tell until CLG actually plays as a team and we can to obs them. Growing pains will be a given, so it comes down to how fast as a team can they learn from their mistakes. Mistakes are going to be bountiful in the first month alone.
As for scarra's blog post, the guy can be summed up in one word: mature. No deflection and entirely self-analytical. Even if he didn't play well at All-Star, he's still endearing. I only wish the best for him and hopefully he can make drastic improvements on his in-game flaws.

My problem with Scarra is a lot of the self-analysis is stuff that people have been commenting about him for awhile now(Limited champ pool screwing over drafting). I hope it didn't take him getting schooled at All-stars to actually realize this and instead he's known it for a bit just hasn't had time to fix it.

Yeah, Neo and MB are always hammered.

Just on the scarra thing - regi would never write anything like that, ever.
|
WTF Give me Sona !
|
I do wonder how the NA team would have done with Regi though. Or if Scarra had even one more champion he felt comfortable playing. We kept talking about how NA lost in pick/ban phase and now we know why.
They still wouldn't have beaten the KR team but that would be a team with a lot of synergy - Chicks Dig Elo + Doublelift.
Also - Maknoon definitely to jungle for CLG, you heard it here first.

if you think about it though, what champion does Regi have over Scarra?
They share the same champion pool with diana, gragas, karthus
his tf is just as shit and apparently the team didn't like Zed ( scarra played him in scrims)
only thing that comes to my mind is Orianna.
Don't say LeBlanc pls! ^^

I feel like this is a general problem with NA mids. It's almost like Zed doesn't exist, and even Kha'zix hasn't been played that much. Watching the European LCS championship it struck me how different the two scenes are. My initial impression was "wow, this is pretty much Zed every single game with some Kha'zix mixed in."
