You are just some shill who denies us the bird dream. More credence to the Yango is icefrog theory.

Was in Gold then ranked system got switched to the new system and it started me out in sliver 1 for not playing for a few months... Stopped playing ranked again after seeing this and got demoted all the way down to sliver 4 for not playing. Jumped to sliver 1 in two and half days trying to get back to gold and MAYBE plat. I GOT THE ITCH


PS. I was reading you guys talk about the ashe blue build, tried it own in a few normal games and have been ripping face. Scared to do it in rank since im on such a good streak

EDIT: I've only been supporting in ranked games with a friend, I am starting to fall in love with the support role and really admire the skill it takes to play as a good support and how to can control a team fight with certain champs (ali, thresh, lulu, zyra). Lots of fun!

Double edit: I dont post much so i try and get all my thoughts down when i do.. I recently added the Halo 4 voice over for my summoner voice, it fucking rocks.

I like Nami because I can do "Cool guys don't look at explosions."
Land a bubble, and then walk away as everyone else takes care of it.

But when you miss your bubble and you still walk away...

Banner Of Command in ARAM is too funny. Got Heimerdinger today and rushed it, we had inhib at like 5:45. Been rushing it on everyone aside for AP burst mages or ADC's, then selling it later if need be. Promoted minions ftw!

You make a convincing argument.

It's just that he can spam everything from 1000+ range like an asshole and then initiate from 1000+ range as well. And his initiation is a suicide so you won't even have the satisfaction of killing him unless you want to focus his egg while taking AoE damage and having his team attack you

Oh yeah and he does %max hp pure dmg from 1300 range, just btw.


Oh and first game Riven, darn this thing stomps and splitpushes well. It's like they can send their whole team and I can just peace out. Well not exactly first game but the first one I try to take seriously I guess.

What are the thoughts on blowing Ignite early like Regi does in lane? Provides around 300g in stats (assuming you have mastery); not to mention you can seriously cut the mitigation of enemies early pots.

Also; does anyone think it's sort of silly how pros in LCS while streaming aren't practicing their more likely champion pool for LCS? If your not practicing with team; should at least practice champion mechanics with champs you're most likely to play.

I generally will do it after I hit lvl 2 before my opponent, going practically allin in an attempt to burn flash. I think that that's more useful than just using it when they use their first potion(this is what regi seems to like doing)

I assume your second comment is directed at Voyboy trolling with Annie and well there's a reason why he's not good anymore.

Well that too; if you can burn early flash with decent level 2 all in with ignite you have 300g of stats + flash burn is nice. But even if you don't get the flash; the early ignite seems too good not to do in lane.

Well also Voyboy playing Fizz; not to say fizz isn't a viable champion, but I seriously doubt we'll be seeing Voyboy playing top fizz in LCS next week.
Also pretty irked that everytime Nyjacky plays he's always duoing with St.V; he's developed bad habits from doing so imo.

How is Ignite 300g in stats?

On paper, sure... 5AD = 200g, and 5AP=100g, sure. But your champion will almost certain prefer one kind of stats over the other, so having both does not mean you can utilize both to their fullest extents.

Generally picked up in mid; in which both auto attacks and spells are often commonly used. I think people undervalue how much damage autoattacks can do by mages in early levels.

holy shit registered around the same time as me but 41k posts and I probably already post too much/spend too much time on TL per day.

people who spam live report threads like that always give me a laugh


To be fair, he LR all the games so poor souls like me who can't watch the game can still understand what's going on.

And it seems to me that it just so happens more of the lower level players post more strategy/theory crafting. Part of that could be there are just more of them.

I like the idea of blue posters. Given to people who deserve it through their posting regardless of their mmr (although mmr helps). It would encourage better posting.

I know I have held my tongue on strategy talks because I haven't played since October, and even then I never played very competitively. I plan on getting in on more strategy after I have played in July. I remember a 3 or 4 page discussion n Annie builds that literally (and I mean it) changed the way I approach a champion's strengths, weaknesses, and build order.

Also. Can build order be the term for how to itemize, skill, and set up the runes/masteries of a champ?

Edit: Typos!
