Next Playday: channel OffWithTeemosHead, Oct 5th, 8 PM CET Games start at 8PM, please show up on Teamspeak a bit before. |
So im heading out in approx 20 minutes for half of the day and i figured i would throw up the polls / short description for this now and expand later.
I spoke to neo about EU in-houses and he said because he has no staff he has no proper way to get EU IH running like he has in NA.
So its all on us. Basically i want to do it and if you all have interest too then you are going to have to help. :3
General points:
-Same format / rules as Neo's NA. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=422875 organisers with complete authority over decisions (moderated by neo as appropriate) such as removing toxic members from future games. this is to prevent bitching / drama (it'll be fair because i will make sure neo is involved with whoever runs it.)
-We need organisers, people willing to step up and get it done. I am willing to help but i dont see this getting off the ground without a well-known TL "Highrankie" - Scip, Sponkz, Teut im looking at you? People aren't going to gather round Capped the bronze 3 rager for IH games.
-Interest, dedication and proper conduct as seen in NA's TLIH thread.
I'll leave this here untill i get back and give my input then

I like your idea to run Inhouses in EU, since its actually pretty hard to gather even 5 people to play.
Im just a Silver 2 player, but i realy like the game and im always looking for nice people to play with and opportunitys to improve my Gameplay.
So if you need some help in Management, please let me know =)

I'm down, just Mondays suck :p
|
I'm very interested in participating but I don't have enough time on my hands to organize it. Don't care much about what day it is.

Would love to get involved any evening monday through thurday!

I'd be down with it, I'd prefer weekends but I don't mind the day.
|
I voted for monday because i can basically play on every day, thought i can vote for every day.
|
I still need a volunteer to "run" things, happy to help but i cant devote myself to it fully + the reasons stated in the OP.
Cant really go further without that
|
I'd certainly be up to join in, but as I'm a lowbie (Silver1) I dont know how much knowledge I can contribute =) I'll keep reading up on this thread tho to see if there is anything I can do.

Of course not, but tbh i dont have enough time to commit to it either.
Also LoL players are extremely fickle, they'll see me organising and not bother. Or people will just cause a fuss jus' cos im bronze. That was my reasoning behind looking for someone like plat+ to be the frontman. LoL players are just going to bitch, moan and not listen because of rank and whatnot.

Can anyone who is willing to organise this PM me plz? You'll have my full support, i just might not be able to attend some sessions, i can help with everything else within reason. :-)
My main point for wanting a higher ranked "organisee" is that people will rally around them more. More diamonds willing to help newbies, more people actually putting in the effort etc. It doesnt matter in the long run if it all works out, but im under the impression it wont work without something like this.
Also, for those who want to attend

Okay, so I really want EU Inhouses to happen, but it looks like nobody was ready to organise them, myself included.
I'll just go balls to da wall all-in crazy shiat on that motherf***er and take the responsibility.
I'm going to be able to run some inhouses starting slowly next week, then more reliably later on.
Thing is, we need to gather 10 ppl at the same time, which can be a bit hard! Please post if you're interested by a full TL EU IH on Tuesday, October 1st at 9PM UTC+1 on EUW (Europe West) server.
All levels are obviously accepted, from Bronze 5 to Challenger - everyone has something to gain from it ! Best would be to post here on this thread, but you can also PM me on TL, or whisp me in game (BK Unseen is my nick). If you want my Skype, that's cool too, but ask in PM 
Here's to hoping you guys will be up for that !

I'd really like to join! I'm currently Gold 1, I hope Plat V by Tuesday. Unfortunately I currently have no mic, but I'll see if I can get that resolved.

As I am always for ways to improve and benefit our LoL community, this is where I plan on stepping in…
Vision Statement The primary objective of Neo’s Inhouses is to forge a stronger TL LoL community through self-improvement. While no one will argue that League of Legends is a fun video game, I am convinced that as a part of TeamLiquid.net, there is a competitive side to all our users.
Ground Rules - Fun is not the utmost concern of these inhouses. While it would be great if everyone participating enjoys the camaraderie of other TL users, the primary goal here is still to learn how to become a better player in a group setting.
- “Registration” is mandatory. If you are interested in participating in these inhouses, you will make a post with the following information:
- Ingame name - Rank and division - If you are a lowbie (Gold or below), include what position you would be interested in working on. (List two) - For each role, identify two champions you wish to improve on - If you are Plat or higher, just include rank and division
- Installation of TeamSpeak is mandatory. Microphone is preferred but not required.
- Be respectful and follow said rules to the best of your ability. Blatant infractions will result in a ban to your TeamLiquid account.
- Play orthodox champions for specific roles. Don't pick Kennen and go bot lane AD. Don't pick Rumble and go mid. Those are situations most lowbies (both on your team and against) that will not be familiar with and it's detrimental to these IHs.
- Don't run lane swaps. AD/Support should stay bot lane.
- You must have a level 30 account. The detriment of not having proper runes and masteries is not something anyone can overcome. It makes balancing teams much harder than necessary.
Running an inhouse How this will work is on certain set days that I will announce in advance, I will make a post in this thread at the start of the games and users will join a chatroom that I’ve posted. The chatroom will change every time because I want active users ready and willing to play, instead of a room filled with idlers. Based on your registration post in the thread, I will do my best to balance the sides and start the draft.
Expectations As a lowbie Expect your ass to get kicked. Frequently. But don’t let that deter you. I am a firm believer that hardship is a great motivator and teacher and as long as you’re learning from your losses, this is time well spent. In exchange for the “lesson”, I do expect our lowbies to come back to the subforum, this thread in particular, and recollect on your personal experience for others to share in.
As a bigpro Expect to have a large degree of patience. For users in this group (bigpros), chances are the games will not be a learning experience for you but you participate in these inhouses for the same reason I’m hosting it: you love TL and you enjoy the regulars that you interact with on a daily basis. Take deep breathes regularly. Be prepared to point out the numerous mistakes that you see and explain your reasoning to the best of your ability.

A better system would be like the stuff NA TLIH has, is to have a new chat channel every day/every few days. Makes things much easier to organize, you just keep inviting people from the same chat channel until you're 10.

Yeah obviously i'm still thinking a lot about how to organise it all. I'm still thinking first priority is to gather enough people who would be interested, then work on the specifics with you guys.
I was just thinking about how to handle voice chat and would like some advice from our NA friends here : do you go 5 v 5 in two chans, then gather all 10 in one after the game to discuss it? I can't imagine a better solution, but I'm happy to be proven wrong

Also, assuming we're using teamspeak, in the past when I've used it i've had problems with my mic being way too loud. We ended up just having everyone else in the room manually lower my volume on their end, but does anyone know an easier way to do it? (changing windows options didn't help, it's normal in things like skype and i couldn't find any options inside teamspeak to do it.)

Hey killerdog, I would definitely be able to help you out with that if I had TS in front of me right now, but I'm at work. I'm sure I know a way to fix this somehow though, we can test it later on if you want.

Everyone just hangs out in the same channel on TS an hour or so before it starts. Someone creates a lobby once there's 10+ active people in the PvP.net channel. (Like Scip mentioned, make a new channel daily. Might seems redundant but it really cuts back on the people who just afk/idle).
Set Tournament Draft. Balance the teams to the best of your ability. Typically the "host" does it. Defaults to me when I'm around, otherwise Roffles or Storr will do it because they're the most proactive.
Once the draft begins, one team moves down/up a channel and you discuss bans/picks and play. After the game, regroup in one channel and discuss the game. Typically focusing on where the losing team started to lose ground in the game and what they should've done differently.
Rinse, repeat.

Yeah, that's how I imagined it basically. Thanks a lot for the input PrinceDarkness

If you guys get this going, be sure to use voice chat and be proactive about team strategies. Our NA games tend to be...bad...when one team isn't all on teamspeak or isn't attempting to form a cohesive gameplan (especially during the draft).

Yeah, communication is pretty key in the IHs. I pretty much encourage everyone on NA to get a mic. (srsly, get a cheap one for 10 bucks/euros/whatever) There are a few people who are still fairly quiet (coughauracough) but for the most part, I think all the regulars talk and I more or less am familiar with everyones' voices. It's a great community experience.
|
That's definitely a plus, but then again, I can't see myself forcing everyone to get a mic for the first couple of nights, which will pretty much be tests. I definitely have a good hope that it will all work, given the amount of EUW players this forum has, so people will very quickly see the benefits of having a mic

Okay guys, first EUW Inhouse is tomorrow night at 9PM CET ! In order to prepare, I've built a nifty nifty Google Drive Spreadsheet. If you guys would like to access it, well there you go!
Here are some stats before we start !
- 22 people signed up - that shows some interest at least ! - We have 10 PGMs, and 12 scrubs : pretty good balance. - Gold is the most represented league (7 sign-ups). - No one wants to practice Support : please manifest some interest for this unloved position  - On the flipside, 8 would like to practice their ADC. Not everyone will be training his marksman skills at once :p - Finally, some nationalism : the most represented countries are France with 5 sign-ups and Denmark with 4. All other countries have 2 or less, so CALL YOUR MATES !
C'mon guys, let's make it happen <3

If we're gonna play more than one game I'm totally fine with supporting in at least one.

Same here, and I'm sure everyone will be up for trying out other roles anyway, that's the whole point

I will be there tomorrow. However I think I can only play two games, because I need to wake up at 7 a.m. and I'd like to go to sleep before 11.30pm.
Gold1 now!! ( I tought I was promoted to gold II after my series but lucky me, I was promoted from gold III to gold I)
I don't mind playing supp, but I need to know beforehand to set up my runepage accordingly (only have 3 runepages )
I don't own all champions, especially the recent (expensive) ones. Trading in champ select might be hampered.

I'm really sorry I missed your post mate, I'll be adding you right now 
Could Neo or anyone else post some details about how to get on TL's Teamspeak, so that no one else has to look for it before tomorrow night?

I'll give it tomorrow, so that only people who are really willing to play in the Inhouse join it. If you mean the regular TL chan, it's "LiquidParty"

^ @ Storr, don't feel bad... those brief moments when this thread shared NA's thread name, I clicked into it like 5 times. Too confusing! I'm glad you guys changed it.
|
I didn't do that. The sneaky sneaky Nocturne did it. Behind our backs. Then again, it looks OFFICIAL that way, me likey! I'll give the chan name around 6PM CET, and will hit you guys up when I'm back from work.
Come on Teamspeak 3 TL LoL chan around 8.30 PM CET, we'll open the lobby at 9 ! Here is how to access the TS server :
- Make sure TS3 is installed on your computer - REALLY make sure it is installed, seriously - While on any page of TL, scroll dooooooooown - In the bottom left corner, click on "TeamSpeak 3 (xx users)" - If you have half a brain, there you are, logged in ! If you don't manage that, you might wanna play Teemo.
See you tonight guys

OKAY GUYS SERIOUS SHIT NOW
You can start joining the In-game chan for tonight's inhouses as of now. I'm not in yet, I'll login around 7.30 when i'm back from work.
Gogo on "PoolPartyTeemo" and get ready to rumble!

Registration - Ingame name Sisonpyh - Rank and division Gold 5 - If you are a lowbie (Gold or below), include what position you would be interested in working on. (List two) Top/Mid - For each role, identify two champions you wish to improve on Top: Kennen, Rumble Mid: Ahri, Zed
Can't guarantee that I'll make it the next few times.
If there's too many Top/Mid people, I don't mind playing ADC/Jungle/Support, since Top/Mid are my main positions and - instead of improving them - I might as well broaden my spectrum.
Also, I'm gone almost all of October, so this is a premature sign-up by me.

Right, lounging in TL LoL on TS, and logged on to LoL ^^ Some dinner and I'm ready to go ^^

EUW is apparently having issues, but custom games look fine, let's stick around

EUW is always having issues ^^ But yeah, I think it's just ranked's that are disabled atm.

Okay, but I've launched the client, and it's now downloading a 400MB patch at a wopping 60KBps, even though my connection usually achieves 4 or 5Mbs. EUW y u do dis

The chat function in the client is bugged to hell atm. I just got 'disconnected from chat' pressed the 'reconnect' button and am now sat in PoolPartyTeemo but it thinks there are 0 members including myself.....

You can always sign up mate ! Even though we still don't know if EUW is gonna allow us to play tonight, there'll be many more, and you're always welcome. I'll add you to the spreadsheet 
It looks like many of you guys are in the chat but yet cannot see each other. If it's not fixed quickly, we might have to cancel... I'll keep you posted soon

Thanks dude! I see a bunch of people in the chatroom, albeit not the full amount.. We're chatting and stuff so..

The problem is connecting to the PVP.net server at all. I guess once you're in it's ok.

I'm in the channel. I won't participate though, what with my comp menacing to shut down and all, but I'd try spectating a game or two if it can handle it, to see how it goes.

Decent game even though we got stomped^^ I had some random lag spikes so that was kind of annoying, besides my mic is not working so communicating was hard but I have bought a new mic and I should get it tomorrow. See you next time

Do you really think I can stream when my comp dies from playing League? I tried again. It crashed. Took longer than usual but he overheated at one point (worst thing was not being able to report the Vayne who spammed all chat to rage at the enemy AD because he's outplay him and then feed by getting ganked because of how overextended he was, though).
I'm thinking I could still spectate for some weird reason (it worked earlier), but I'm not willing to try it again. I'm going to be limited to streams until I buy myself a new comp. >_> (Which could be another way of saying "hey, if one of the guys doing IHs decides to stream the games, don't hesitate to put a link here, it's been fun spectating the NA IHs!".)

Was a lot of fun! Fun games as Nami-Viktor-Nocturne, and got some good advice aswell =)

Games were fun, interesting to play in a more organized setting
Too bad last game (even though HoBoast dced for a fair bit) didn't get reviewed, it's still an important thing to review and see who did what right and who should improve on other stuff. I think the support/adc role really work well in these type of setting because you can get constant feedback even during the game. Hope I can be there next one, cheers

Fun games, although as some people have mentioned they were a bit one sided. I think the teams were getting more balanced towards the end though, if eve hadn't dc'ed the last game would probably have been quite close.
Two things which I think might be improved on in the future
1. There were too many people. There can only be 10 players (and two spectators) in a game/lobby, and there were consistently more then that. Not sure what the easiest solution to that is, but maybe having the people who sit out a game sit in some channel together or something then when the next lobby starts we can invite them. Dunno how to organise it but (as the lobby host) it was getting a bit confusing who to invite/when to start.
2. Team communication. A lot of the time it felt just like random people who happened to have voice chat, and only used it in the micro sense (who to focus in teamfights/asking for ganks/stuff like that) rather then a more macro sense (calling for groupings/going to pressure objectives.) There were a lot of people just going off doing their own thing without really communicating/going off to farm while the rest of the team went off together.
Theres nothing wrong with that, just hanging out on TS while playing, but I think it might be fun to try out going a bit more tryhard every now and then. Maybe have one preson volunteer to be captain, and have them make most of the calls/decisions. Other people can voice opinions but everyone has to follow the captains call. Would make for a different kind of game, but might be fun and could also be educational, helping people learn how to work together as a team, and when things work/don't work.
Just some suggestions though.
|
On the other hand, it gave us a pretty uninterrupted 2v2 down bot.
Which is good practice too.
€: As for the calling/communication, it really only happened in the second game IIRC We should probably all appoint an official shotcaller before the game?

There were plenty of things that can be reviewed, for example something i would have mentioned was ahri (after starting dorans/2pots) got ganked for fb, and came back to lane with a second dorans. I was going to ask why he decided against coming back with boots/ward given that nocturne was showing interest in his lane, and he was now behind.
Just because a game is a stomp doesn't mean there aren't lots of little decisions which can be discussed ^.^

Yep, boots and wards would be better off instead of second dorans.

Was fun, even though they games were rather bad (one-sided, 5v4).
Communication probably has something to do with this being the first time (and for me personally not being used to speaking english). Will certainly become better in the future. We can also try that shotcaller suggestion.
Last game was little to review from the botlane perspective. Maybe the boots instead of dorans start, but otherwise it was pretty standard with Eve disconnecting in the middle of the gank (ty for not killing her standing in front of your tower :D) and Noc/Tf ganks/dives succeeding (expected with no jungle pressure on them). There was a cs difference before that, but I think that was normal for a poke heavy botlane vs 525 range.
|
I'll try to get my TS sorted so that I can just have it on with voice-activation rather then push to talk, because with push-to-talk I'll never talk much =) As for analysing the last game, I think it's always hard to say how it would've gone had eve not disconnected so often, but the things I saw most was indeed a bit of a lack of wards mid (altho I did gank the shit out of that lane with eve gone which was a bit mean ^^), and obviously lack of jungle control but that's just eve being gone often =)
|
Maybe it's also a good idea to just log into teamspeak a bit more and just do inhouses when there are 10 people online? Also if people want some games tonight I could organize those.

Thought it was because of interference, started playing in the living room, currently it's a lot better (by a lot, i mean small lag spikes once every 2 minutes, still better than getting DC'd and dying to minions because your champ refuses to move). See you when I get this uplink buffer reduced to a reasonable level.

Good morning guys !
First off, I'd like to say I'm terribly sorry that I was not able to show up on time in-game and on Teamspeak - EUW screwed me over hard for the patching and login, and when I finally got there, you guys had already made the first lobby. The whole evening was thus a bit disorganized, which is totally on my side, I should have thought about possible server problems and prepared accordingly. Sorry about that !
Then again, I felt it was quite a success for the first EUW Inhouse - there were around 15 people all night long on TS/in game, which definitely shows interest, and even though the games were not the best (for the lack of organization and preparation of the best line-ups possible, plus many people not being able to voicechat properly), I daresay we all had a good time together. It was great putting a voice on you guys 
A couple of remarks :
- Now that it's launched and that we're pretty much sure interest is here, I would ask you guys to please purchase a mic, even a cheap one, if you're planning on playing in the next inhouses. It's just that much better if everyone is able to talk.
- I'm all for the "shotcaller" position being decided in the lobby for each side. It will always be a different person every game, as I feel it would be a very good experience to have for everyone. We don't have to do it all the time, but I would like to try it for a couple of games.
- One particular point about Europe being Europe as opposed to NA : English is not the native language of most of us, and it definitely can be a bit difficult to focus hardcore on your play when you have to speak in another language. Even though I lived quite a long time in English-speaking countries, I myself found it very hard to play to the best of my ability while chatting in English with my mates. I do feel this will get better over time, as 1) we get to know each other better and recognize our voices, and 2) practice makes perfect, and chatting in English will become a second nature very quickly if we do this on a regular basis.
I would also like to thank you guys for being so nice about the positions you played : there never was the slightest bit of argument for one position, and it was lovely to see everyone willing to improve on different positions than the one they might have liked to play better.
A special mention goes to Promises, and his amazing Viktor play in game 2 - I was definitely surprised by the pick and the way you played it, good job mate !
I'll just add a quick Poll so I can decide better on which days would be best to decide for the "official" Inhouse Day. Of course, this by no means implies you cannot organize a spontaneous Inhouse if enough people are logged in and ready to go, but it'll help I'm sure.
Poll: Best day for you to play in EUW Inhouses?Weekday night (9) 53% Saturday night (6) 35% Friday night (1) 6% Saturday afternoon (1) 6% Sunday afternoon (0) 0% Sunday night (0) 0% 17 total votes Your vote: Best day for you to play in EUW Inhouses?

I voted Monday, but Monday through Thursday are the best days for me. Sorry for not being able to come yesterday - I hope you guys had some good games despite the server problems

Weekends fit me better because I'm on GMT+2 but I can play on any given day. Tried playing with the cable and it's all smooth and clean.

Oh and plz no friday night, I have to ST my game that day. I can play pretty much any other day.

I played zyra last night (in game 2). I focused on my own play, but I can give a couple of remarks about the second game.
Firstly, I think we could have won midgame fights even if we were a bit behind. We had a good Aatrox+orianna combo. Renekton is also a better teamfighter then teemo. However we fell behind 0-12, which was a bit too much. I haven't seen exactly what happened, so I can't comment to much in detail. Since league can be very snowbally, playing from behind is an important skill (which I don't master). I do however think that if you fall behind, it is better to itemise defensively (especially as a jungler). And don't contest our blue, let them have it; Orianna had grail which is sufficient to waveclear mid. Bot lane went even in laning phase; we were all 0/0/0 and both adc farmed well. Lulu played well, and I hope that the lulu player can comment on my play (I forgot who it was). I felt both adc farmed and positioned well, but were passive; they had a mentally of 1) farm 2) don't die. I definitely feel both could have been a bit more aggressive, let me give some examples: - @ vayne, when trist goes for a lasthit on a ranged creep, you can trade with AA, tumble, AA, disengage. Since vayne moves fast (with her passive), you can easily get away with this trade. - @ trist; At lvl 7 or 8 we had a fight were vayne ult tumbled towards us. At that point you ultied away vayne and jumped away (even tough you still were close to full health). This is imo too defensive and cautious. In fact after the fight, both lulu and vayne were 1/3 - 1/4 health . If you still had your jump, we might have achieved something. We (trist+zyra) had a very slight edge in the start of the laning phase, but we threw that away by not backing simultaneously twice (or thrice, I dont remember). I personally missed a couple of skillshots in laning phase. I also think I shouldn't have bought philo stone since I already had gp10 quints. An additional ruby crystal might have swung the balance in our lane. I hope lulu can comment on my laning phase.

Vayne here. I was pretty damn scared since you guys forced us to b a couple of times due to how low we were. Which is why I really didn't want to go for trades til I had BoRK. Plus I still need to learn quite a bit on Vayne.
I thought you guys did really well but could have been more aggressive. Lulu and me got away with slivers of health a couple of times. I luckily did have some nice plays in the teamfights (a few nice condemn stuns), but I definitely wasn't carrying the game. Mid/Jungle both had some huge backs ^^.
The Lulu's ingame name was Prog btw.
|
Indeed, I was Lulu.
You did well botlane overall, so I have little to say about it. As you already noticed your backing was a bit off; - you sometimes missed the right timing to back simultaneously. That created a situation that Trist stayed too long in the lane and had a vamp scepter vs cutlass on vayne.
I also think you could have played a bit more offensive in the early levels. Trist/Zyra has huge damage potential lvl 2-4 in comparison to Vayne/Lulu, so maybe there could have been a chance to all-in there. If I remember correctly you had exhaust and not ignite, which I think is a mistake vs Teemo/Viktor/Vayne. We had no damage dealing diver that could be or needs to be exhausted in a teamfight and you can abuse the stronger early game with ignite a bit easier. With ignite some of those low hp escapes of ours may have been kills. Still I think you did well, these are just little things that could swing the lane a bit more into your favor.
|
To be honest, I feel this game came down to Aatrox and myself massively fucking up our lvl 4 dive onto Teemo. After Aatrox fend off Sejuani with great success, this was basically a free first blood, which by some magic of our terrible execution became 2 kills for you guys. Then Aatrox was a bit too behind to be there for Orianna against Viktor when the latter got a good power spike, Sejuani got tanky while Aatrox tried to finish his BorK, I couldn't farm efficiently and we fucked our team this way. Yeah, botlane couldve gotten a couple of kills early on, but they definitely didn't lose us the game, Trist and Zyra were pretty damn useful in teamfights !
|
I agree that Aatrox falling behind was a very large part of this game, I think Viktor's potential to make a gank work is a lot lower due to no real offensive control (like Oriana's ult, or a simple throwable stun) then Oriana, and certainly with Aatrox as a ball delivery that could've been devastating.
As it went on now, Once Vik's a bit ahead his damage is pretty spiky and with little threat from an underlevelled Aatrox that meant free reign in early teamfights, which I think snowballed the rest a bit. I still thought that Orianna's poking in the later fights was really good, and because of our hesitance even meant we had to back off out of some fights having taken a lot of damage from it, but in the end the early lead was just too big.
As for the structure of the evening, while I agree it was a bit messy due to the servers acting up I still think it went relatively smoothe once we were all there, and while a bit more tutoring could be done, as we were with almost exclusively gold and silvers this time that would always be difficult, and I personally got some good advice from Lavoinoz (i think?) on my support play in lane. Looking forward to more! I'll log on to the TL LoL server some more when I'm online, I'm pretty much always up for games be it normal, ranked or custom =) (nickname: ThatOneFatGuy)

After Aatrox fend off Sejuani with great success, this was basically a free first blood, which by some magic of our terrible execution became 2 kills for you guys. Then Aatrox was a bit too behind to be there for Orianna against Viktor when the latter got a good power spike, Sejuani got tanky while Aatrox tried to finish his BorK, I couldn't farm efficiently and we fucked our team this way. Yeah, botlane couldve gotten a couple of kills early on, but they definitely didn't lose us the game, Trist and Zyra were pretty damn useful in teamfights !
I agree totally. The dive not only gave kills, but also cost so much time and lost the Aatrox passive, which makes him relatively weak in ganks. Viktor and Sejuani started controlling the game from that point and eventually showed up bot so we got the tower and dragon control too. We then pretty much rolled over objectives being grouped up and so far ahead (even though Orianna poke made us back once or twice).
The only thing I would suggest in these kinds of situations is to try trading objectives. You tried to steal/contest dragon when there was little chance to get it and could have used the time to push top or mid I think.

- One particular point about Europe being Europe as opposed to NA : English is not the native language of most of us, and it definitely can be a bit difficult to focus hardcore on your play when you have to speak in another language. Even though I lived quite a long time in English-speaking countries, I myself found it very hard to play to the best of my ability while chatting in English with my mates. I do feel this will get better over time, as 1) we get to know each other better and recognize our voices, and 2) practice makes perfect, and chatting in English will become a second nature very quickly if we do this on a regular basis.
I had trouble recognising the voices tbh. I recognised your voice because you have a french accent and doctobeat's voice because he has a dutch one :p. Maybe that will improve if we play more often.

You did well botlane overall, so I have little to say about it. As you already noticed your backing was a bit off; - you sometimes missed the right timing to back simultaneously. That created a situation that Trist stayed too long in the lane and had a vamp scepter vs cutlass on vayne.
I also think you could have played a bit more offensive in the early levels. Trist/Zyra has huge damage potential lvl 2-4 in comparison to Vayne/Lulu, so maybe there could have been a chance to all-in there. If I remember correctly you had exhaust and not ignite, which I think is a mistake vs Teemo/Viktor/Vayne. We had no damage dealing diver that could be or needs to be exhausted in a teamfight and you can abuse the stronger early game with ignite a bit easier. With ignite some of those low hp escapes of ours may have been kills. Still I think you did well, these are just little things that could swing the lane a bit more into your favor. ty Prog. I had put little tought on ignite vs exhaust tbh, but that won't happen again.

These are the things us spectators noticed aswell: the lvl 4 dive, the viktor spiking, the passive botlanes. One more very big mistake I wanted to notice by Orianna was that he didn't have to help Aatrox at the wolf camp because Viktor cut her off. I know he may not have known that because vision, but Ori herself was already extremely low and the laserburst (being very surprising in damage and range and width) caught her and then the demon died from Sej (I think? Not too sure about that one..) Sometimes, even though you want to be a good teammate and help your mates escape by throwing a ball on them and speedbuffed them, it's better to just let them take on for the team. I also want to commend the Teemo kite greatly when he was being chased by Renekton and Aatrox top, surviving long enough for Viktor and Sejuani to clean up (Orianna showed up too I think?). That shit was bonkers.

I was the Sejuani in that game. I'll just describe the game from my perspective. I did blue-red-top, assuming Aatrox did red-blue-top, but then I didn't see Aatrox at all when I was top, while Teemo went aggro on Renek so I thought Aatrox wasn't top. Turned out he was and I had to blow flash. Then I backed and did golems assuming Aatrox would stick around top because I hoped he would be stupid LoveLin a man and dive with his passive. He did, just a little bit earlier than I expected so that was just our Teemo being good. Then I was ahead of the Aatrox and wanted to abuse Viktor's early-midgame skirmish power to snowball mid and top. I was a little bit too aggresive while doing that which almost cost me my life a couple times. Also I didn't communicate well at all during that period.
Our Viktor was a god so it all worked out in the end, but still.
Also as a general tip I don't think it is a good idea to towerdive 2v1 against someone with all summoners up, especially at level 3/4.
I also watched botlane a bit and I think you could have abused Trist E cooldown way harder. I play both Vayne and Trist myself and at level 1/2 the lane should be heavily in favor of Vayne imo, because of the relatively short cd on Vayne Q compared to Trist E. Basically as soon as Trist uses her E and Zyra misses/doesn't have E you can just chunk them hard, both as Lulu or as Vayne.
Btw Lulu played really well, Vayne could have been a bit more aggresive I think. Viktor was pretty good or just really lucky, and Teemo had some nice kiting.
Aatrox went wayyyyy too deep in several fights after he got behind, he just got blown up without doing much, as said going tanky would have been better, and if you don't go tanky don't go into fights as the first man. I didn't see a whole lot of Ori's laning phase but I think that after laning phase (s)he did have the right idea, but (s)he was just too behind. Renek was fine I think? Didn't see much of their botlane.

I hated that Teemo's kite. Can't remember who played him, but great job, I hate you forever now !

Yeah I felt a bit stupid after that (ori here,) I thought aatrox was going to die at wraiths if I didn't help, so I wanted to try and slow the guy chasing him by throwing ball over the wall, ulting, then walking away again. I'm not sure if I thought they didn't have vision around the corner, or if I thought I could just tank the laser but either way it was kind of dumb :p
The game from my perspective, I'm not a very good ori player at all, only bought her a few weeks ago and have barely played her, so I probably made tons of misplays with positioning/ball use. It felt like i was doing fine in lane, trading evenly and stuff, until that clusterfuck top. I went top because a fight was going on, somehow teemo escapes with 5 hp then victor got a double kill, and after that I was laning against a 2-0 victor who had a 2 level lead, and my lane was screwed after that.
I just tried to farm as much as possible but he was able to use the lead to deny me off a bunch of waves, then the death wraith camp happened and I was sort of done. I tried to farm a bit of ap and poke a bit in teamfights but i was kind of useless after that.

We can all agree that everything that was ever bad for us in this game has one cause : TEEMO.
Kill the fucking Teemo.
Seriously.
|
Nigga don't make me come to EUW and show you what the Teemo is all about.
|
Nigga, I'm not sure playing Teemo on 200 ping is the best idea you ever had

It's k I can blame my losses on ping then.

I enjoyed the games. Obviously a lack of organisation and that etc. I ended up playing AD all three games (which was great!) and lost all three games (I don't mind!)
I've learnt some stuff from playing against others and I think I'll be more active with talking with my support and making things happen rather than being passive. I think voice comm improvements will come as more weeks pass and we get to know each other better. I'm normally very good at that but I don't have the confidence at the moment to lead a game.
I would vote for Tuesdays or Thursdays as the best night for me. I think eventually we'll be playing together in other slots. It'll be nice once we get 20 or more people and we can have two running at once.
One thing I really liked was the lack of downtime during games. There was almost no waiting for someone to go off and do something which usually plagues inhouse games. It's good that everyone was focused and ready to play.
|
Maybe next time if we advertise it in GD a bit we can get to 20 players? With that I mean that when it starts someone makes a nice advertising post in GD saying it starts now and everybody on EUW who wants can join. Can Neo or another mod say if that's ok or not?
I also really liked the lack of downtime.

We should also get someone on updating the whiteboard at the top, it still says the chat channel for October 1st :3
I wanted to com but I was super tired and went to sleep at 8PM
|
I have to ask Neo in order to change the whiteboard at the top, and that's moderator's privilege only. Next "official" one will be in a couple of days anyway, so no rush 
I also updated the Spreadsheet, you guys can check if everything's okay about yourself : Spreadsheetlinkyolo

I noticed other people mentioning they are fine with playing other roles than the two mentioned. I'm fine with that as well, since it is hard to always get the role you want at silver 2.
|
When I switched to the second mic (halfway through game 2 or something) was it ok after that? Not sure how much background noise that mic picks up.

I thought that after the switch your mic was good killer, sounded fine ^^ And as said, I'm fine with playing any role but top really (which I somehow find boring and doesnt have any champs I like ^^).

Would anyone be down for an Inhouse on Friday night?
|
The evening before worlds? Well I'd rather go to bed early and wake up in time for the finals, but I guess I could.
|
Fuck, yeah I forgot about that. Nevermind, no one will be down for that given we all have to wake up at 4.30 AM
|
So Saturday or Sunday night then? Could you perhaps make a poll, because I'm posting from my phone right now.
|
The global poll said Weekly nights are best as a whole, with Saturday nights coming second.
I will be available on Saturday night though, so let's make one !

NEXT EUW INHOUSE
Saturday, October 5th Games start at 8PM, please show up on Teamspeak a bit before. The In-Game channel will be "OffWithTeemosHead"
Please come and have fun ! :D

The blasphemy on this server is palpable. No wonder Rito tries to shut you down every week.

Indeed. The Ritos are not pleased with this heresy. They have begun a letter writing campaign against it.
