his late game strategy entirely consists of him doing 1 man fnatic bushes, and sniping a kill on enemy ADC, and absorbing 4 ulti's, and then dying. And then allowing rest of his team to win the ensuing 4v4 teamfight. It's pretty amusing.

Might be because of Nightblue3's stream and everyone falling in love with XJ9 style jungling.


As I've said before, Nightblue is just shitty XJ9. He taxes more indiscriminately (read: stupidly) than XJ9, isn't efficient, and doesn't carry nearly as hard ;;

#freexj9

Did XJ9 quit the game? Dont see him stream anymore....maybe he commited suicide ( not joking)

he got banned. big boy banned, not the small kind of ban.

Why exactly? I remember watchching him sometimes towards the end.....he wasnt really bm or anything

Dude went full retard and got on his, at the time, girlfriend's account and spent over $100 of RP and tanked a buttload of games because she played 1 Lee Sin game and that offended him. Among other discretions.

She played LeeSin tho, bitch had it coming
XJ9's main ban reason was elo boosting accounts I think

YOU'RE ON

(It's probably my ~2h of sleep last night talking, especially knowing there's lag on the server atm.)

And I'll buy Garen on my level 29 smurf to put it at 30. Need it to duo with a friend (I'm def not at the low Plat level anymore, all the more reason not to duo with him on my main and have him squashed in unfun ways when he placed mid-Silver at the end of s3) so might as well get the last 20 games as Garen.

Sounds like Talon save for the part where you survive the first 3 ults.
Give the man a freaking escape, or something! Rake has 600 range and 10s base cd and he can't run away with ult without gimping the damage. He's so binary in late game if you can't splitpush it's pretty sad. ;_;

(I wonder if it's easier to splitpush now, dropping wards to E to the wight once people come for you.)

XJ9 boosted a bunch of accounts and drew too much attention to himself with the whole e-girlfriend fiasco. Last I checked he was playing Runescape and elo boosting on the down low.

He started cyber-dating some girl, but they had a lovers' quarrel or something that was fueled by her playing Lee Sin, which was "his champion," which really pissed him off. XJ9 then proceeded to go on her account, spending all her RP, and trolling ranked for like 20 games in a row or something of the sort in order to "get her attention." He streamed some of this too, and then proceeded to Skype Destiny and have an emotional breakdown for 8 hours on Destiny's stream.

I may have gotten some details wrong but that covers most of the main points I think? Ask SagaZ he's the biggest XJ9 fanboy on these forums.

Hey guys, what are your current thoughts on Darius? Given that the meta right now is full of tanky top laners, he seems like a good pick against most of them due to the free armor pen and his ability to get tanky himself. I'm thinking something along the lines of Hydra, Cleaver and 3 defensive items. Does anyone play him or is it just not worth practicing him right now?

I play a lot of Darius, but I'm only gold so don't take what I say to be law.

Anyways I feel that Darius can go toe-to-toe with most top laners, at least to the point where it is a skill match up, which is fine by me. I think the only top laner that does give me troubles is Shyvanna, if only for the reason that I haven't figured out how to trade with her (Or if it is even possible).

One thing to really note about Darius though is that while he can do insane amounts of damage, he's quite vulnerable before he gets any items. Any damage that you take in lane in the early levels is going to stick to you, as you don't have ANY sustain before Ravenous Hydra. And yes I know you'll have a Doran's Shield, but presumably the other guy does too so I'm not counting it in.

Also you need to be careful with ganks, ESPECIALLY around the early levels. Darius has no mobility and doesn't have exceptionally good defense, so if you're caught out of position, you die. Simple as that.

But I find that usually if I can get to level six and go at least even with the other top laner, I can usually just kill him in an all in.

TL DR; I think he's good, but he certainly has his issues which doesn't let him see a lot of play.
It is better to die for The Emperor than live for yourself.

He doesn't realize that what he did was wrong and doesn't empathize with people put in a parallel position.

The exact champion is unimportant to the story.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

When you spend someone else's money and tank there account I hardly think adding the "good jungler hates lee sin' will damn him any more then he already is.
