I really want a baron/dragon timer program to be honest. There is no actual skill in timing numbers and add 6/7. This is the biggest reason why I don't like playing jungle.

I remember someone on reddit suggested Riot that you can press Ctrl+leftclick on the clock to paste timing out on the chat.
It'll be neat if you can do something like ctrl+1+leftclick on the clock for redbuff, 2 for blue buff, 3 for dragon.v.v.v.

Seriously? You're comparing a 50/50 chance with the odds of getting the exact same TWO positions? which happen to be the same two positions you got before they "fixed" it?

I saw the messages, but what are the bots doing?


there are bots that are champion specific.

For example a cass bot will autocast your E on people that are poisoned, which results in cass able to walk even back while casting E forward. It will also block the ult if people dont face her.


Stuff like that. You need an expert in pattern recognition to combat those.

I remember playing a game a few months ago with a guy who had the most ridiculous bot ever. Every time someone was out of sight on the minimap for more then 4-5 seconds, it would type "XXXX Is missing" and as soon as they reappeared after that it would ping them and say "XXX is here."

So the enemy leona is sitting in the bush looking out ever now and then so we get

The entire game.

It was interesting...

Must have been helpful to keep track of dragon timer.

(2/5 * 1/4)^3 = 0.1% chance for that to happen. Seems unlikely, but who knows.

(Or, about the same as flipping 10 heads in a row)

I think the chance of getting either first or last pick 3 instances in a row is 6.4%? (2/5)^3? I'm not a maths guy so corrections are appreciated. Anyways, while low, that's far from impossible. You're less likely to roll a natural 20 on a d20.

If it were patched, probability of your duo getting first/last in the same order: 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20, and probability of it happening 3 times consecutively: 1/20 ^ 3 = 1/8000. Call this P(B given A)

Probability that pick order was patched, call this P(A)

Bayes Theorem: P(A given B) = (P(B given A) * P(A)) / P(B)

= 1/8000 * P(A) divided by (1/8000) * P(A) + 1 * (1-P(A))

= P(A)/8000 divided by 1 - 7999/8000 * P(A)

Even assuming that the chance they forgot to patch it but included it in the patch notes was only 0.1%, then the chance that it was patched given three consecutive first/last positions is only about 11.1%

Hey, I'm looking for new jungler to spam but just don't know which champion...

I want a champ that has the option to both hardcarry and be a tank (not at the same time, mind you). It needs to be outside of the current fotm meta though, I know that Vi would fit exactly that description but she is either banned or picked every game. I also want to be able to either outright beat or safely escape popular junglers. I prefer a more farm heavy playstyle, but want decent ganks (so Shyvana is out).

I played a lot of Olaf recently, but I feel that while I can stay a (minor) threat in lategame with true damage, I really cannot pick up a struggling team on my back and carry it. Even if I do VERY well for myself. Pantheon, Vi, Wukong, Khazix, Elise, Olaf... etc all FOTM that I don't want to play. I like to play champions that are very rarely popular but still insanely strong (and do well even when behind), just like my favorite support Karma. Any ideas?

There's a reason why the fotm are fotm.
it's because it fits exactly what you want.
anything else is pretty much 2nd tier versions to those that you mentioned.

Well I mean, look at what he is asking for. He is looking for something that can hard carry, tank or do damage, be relevant when behind... If a champion can do those things, they are probably already FOTM.

Of the stuff you listed Celial, I'd try Jarvan and Xin Zhao. Both can tank up and can snow ball pretty hard early. I like Nocturne myself, but he's a bit less impact pre-six.

Have you tried Sejuani? After a subpar first clear, she farms non-Wight camps quickly with the Spirit Stone regen and ganks/disrupts quite nicely with QER. She can definitely tank up, and while you might not be able to hard carry in a 1vN sense, you can be a real menace in teamfights after sunfire/abyssal.
Trust in Bayes.

It's actually (2/5 * 1/4)^3, because the person who created the game invite will automatically be first spot if either one of the two gets 1st spot.

Still, that's only 0.1% chance.

Yeah just not at the same time, but efficient with different build paths.

Jarvan sounds interesting, flag and ult can be still relevant (plus free armor on flag!). I don't think Xin can do that as well, although he probably leans more torwards damage. I feel like Xin is really strong in midgame skirmishes,but doesn't do much else.

Doesn't Darius have huuuge mana problems?

the easiest way to compute the prior probability is to consider of the 5 roles, only the 3 middle ones aren't taken.

So that's 1/(binom(5,3)) = 1/10 (same as 2/5*1/4)
