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. |

You basically can play nunu, and warwick if you want to jungle easily with no runes or masteries, with 100% chance of success even if you get zero help. Most other junglers will need to base too much to be effective without runes or masteries.

Even if you play a jungler like Warwick or Nunu new players fail really hard in 1v2 lanes. Hell most people who smurf fail really hard in a 1v2 lane.

slightly off topic but during the WE/OMG game I hear the announcers calling out the ticket numbers as
"er yao yao san" or something like that. What's the logic behind saying "yao" for one rather than "yi"? The same announcer used "san er yi" as a countdown to when the next ticket would be drawn.

IMO the current meta for league favours aggression and snowballing map control yet the Chinese don't seem to mind split map farming for longer durations and taking to the late game. Reminds me of carries in DotA where they just farm one lane, TP to another, farm some more but never really engage unless completely necessary. Curious how this style will do against the Koreans.

unfortunately, you're on smurf island, legit new players don't run into people trying to jungle until level 20s at least
And double unfortunately you're on the version of smurf island where all the smurfs' mains are low bronze, so you're not actually that much better off than an actual new player
Also, I feel like this should be said: if you don't want to deal with the stupidity of new players, you shouldn't make new accounts.

you use yao when reading out a string of numbers (phone numbers, ticket numbers etc). yi is for the 'pure' definition of one as just 'one', used primarily in counting (counting up, counting down, counting objects, as part of larger numbers 100 for yi bai etc)
another confusing one would be er (2) and liang

It's the same person saying it both times, I've heard it done before such as when the year is called as in "er ling yao san nian". I've only recently started hearing it in use (probably ~2010 when they started saying yao for the 1 was when I first noticed it.)
I'm not a native mandarin speaker (I speak cantonese) so there's only one "one", no differentiation in the contexts of use.

Why do people still say that? You can jungle a decent chunk of champions without runes/masteries. Hell I jungle Diana on my lvl 12 smurf and have been since lvl 4.

It's like in English where people say "O" instead of "zero". "Class of O Eight" vs "Three, Two, One, Zero"

yao is just another way to say one. same meaning as yi
liang and er is not a good example because you dont say "er ge" (possessive i think), like "ta you er ge something", you say "liang ge" there

Yeah I was confused as hell wtf he meant. The only similarity between Chinese DoTA and LoL is that they are amazing at farm distribution and finding farm.

my first game of league was pre-season 1, played blitz because i liked pudge in dota and assumed he'd be the same. people would just walk right up to the outer limit of my tower and let me pull them in LOL. i probably didn't even go for a creep kill all game, i ended up like 25-1 and built random ass items
then almost immediately after i started playing only twisted treeline with my friends, and then immediately after that played exclusively shen until 30

If you're leveling up a low-level account I'd suggest playing with full 5 premade with friends. You can have fun doing whatever you want and it makes the process a bit less of a chore. Although it gets to a point when you pretty much only get matched vs other premade 5 smurf teams so it ends up being a normal game except nobody has runes/masteries and having flash means you're a big shot.

You use yao(1) when reading out a string of numbers (phone numbers, ticket numbers etc) This is to prevent confusion with chi(7). It is entirely acceptable to use yi(1) instead of yao when reading out a string of numbers. Yi is used everywhere else. (such as counting (counting up, counting down, counting objects, as part of larger numbers yi bai(100) etc))
Good luck with that pro team nyx, though unless it is sgs inviting you i wouldn't bother. 0 payout.
