EPTJungle: Udyr
Mid: Lux/Diana
ADC: Tristana
Support: Leona/Janna/Sona
Edit: Maybe just confirmation bias, but there seems to be an unusual amount of Tristana players here compared to what I see in game. Guess its that TL hipster mentality?

I find some of these comments odd though, because over the past 15 shows, the two games that have gotten the most attention are StarCraft 2 and League of Legends. It's funny that we do one show where we stack DOTA 2 guests and suddenly "we don't care that much about the league scene", but 12 weeks prior we did regular coverage of LCS. Live On Three covers all games, and all esports. But we're also only 2 hours. If we don't cover a news item, I wish people wouldn't jump to the conclusion that we must hate "X" game or like "Y" game more. I can promise you that Slasher and I never cut content or not consider content due what game it is. I must admit I've only seen a few episodes of Lo3 and was basing my post off ones talking about the recent G-1 episode. I apologize for speaking out of turn. | ||

Mid: Almost never play mid but I play a mean Kassadin/Ryze when forced Jungle: Skarner, Nasus Support: Lulu, can't go wrong. Support Elise is great if I'm with my duo partner AD: Draven, if they picked Draven take Cait, if they have Ezreal take Vayne instead | ||

I didn't lose a game yet and the only 4v5 I had we ended up winning. I didn't finish though because I think I proved my point to him and I don't want him to get to a rating he doesn't deserve. On the other hand, I have another buddy who insisted the same thing (DC's and bad teammates) and decided to teach him instead of playing for him, and I am proud to say he's almost silver and wins a majority of his games now after we practiced in norms for a couple of weeks. Probably wouldn't do it again though - after playing those games I end up playing really stupid when I do ranked on my account, and there's no way I will win a promo series playing that way. On the Topic of Bronze and Elo Hell: I've worked with newer/lower level players as part of a 3rd party mentoring program before. For those that are in Bronze,there are generally significant mechanical issues that hinder their progression. Most of the time, they are unaware of such issues, because in LoL, it's far easier to focus on the problems that your team has committed (or issues like Trolls and Leavers and Feeders) than to conduct personal self-reflection and highlight mistakes you yourself made (it's often difficult to see those yourselves), especially if you don't know what mistakes you've been making in the first place. One of the most recent ones I worked with (who was asking for "non-bronze, non-leaver/afk/troll players" to duo in Ranked with for his placement matches) for instance showed significant mechanical issues issues (last hitting both off and on tower, wave control, positioning, orbwalking, etc.), in addition to more general game knowledge issues (2nd item Frozen Mallet on Tristana...O_o; ). I pointed out the most egregious areas where he could improve on his gameplay (mostly mechanics) and gave him resources to improve upon them, as well as being somewhat blunt on where (I felt) his skill level was now, with the advisement to improve his gameplay before diving into it. In games I play with similar level players, I more or less hard carry with some of the most wacky shit imaginable (Riven jungle recently, despite my jungle being horribad and being Worst Riven NA). On the topic of Dota->LoL, it generally doesn't carry over as well as you'd think, and roughly it's like going from LoL->DotA. There's a great deal of similarities due in part to the genre, but both are highly divergent AoS games, which a great deal of pronounced nuances to them, especially in terms of game knowledge, metagame, etc.. Even ignoring the higher strategic elements on which both games are primarily based, DotA->LoL is not easy at all, as things like turn animations, AA animation delay, etc, can create staggering mechanical differences. Plus, if you've been playing a different game, you're also prone to fall behind (i.e., even assuming no decay in LoL skill, the average skill level of LoL and different ELOs could simply be improving while you've been stagnant). For instance, back in S2 Silver, I could run circles around other ADCs because more often than not, they didn't know how to properly CS, pressure, etc, or take advantage of lane matchup differences. On my way up through Silver Leagues in S3 (after taking a break for the last 1/4th of S2 and the preseason of S3), such laning differentials narrowed significantly. Part of it was because my lane mechanics had deteriorated significantly, and my CSing got a fair bit worse (possibly also due to switching back to full armpen pages over full AD pages), but also because enemy bot lanes had developed significantly better knowledge of bot lane matchups, and their lane mechanics had improved in the interim. But back on (the current) topic, my "main" fallback champs for each role tend to be: Top: Irelia Mid: Brand Jungle: Nunu I guess? adc: umm, Ashe/Trist Support: Jananna | ||

Mid: Diana I guess, working on Lux Jungle: Trundle/Nocturne AD: god please don't make me do this Support: Taric/Thresh Nasus is the only one I'm really set on though, and that's mostly because the results have been there. | ||

I also like variation, I'm not playing this game to get good scores and thus practice a single hero or two. Top: Kayle, Renektron Jungle: Warwick (pretty much failsafe ganks are worth it most of the time, if laners are aware that I won't do much <6), junglers with CC. Mid: TF, Lux (though I don't own her yet, she's my best mid), Ryze, Kayle. Syndra was hella fun last week too. Support: Alistar, Taric. Alistar got me through level 1-15 pretty much flawlessly (though that was on flask-patch, flask+faerie start so nice). Me playing ADC is just painful. Ez, especially the blueish build, is fun though, and Vayne is also nice. Only own Ashe and Tristana... | ||

So despite being really comfortable with Ashe, I almost never play her nowadays. | ||
