EPT[Patch 4.9] RIP Kha'Zix General Discussion - Page 88
| Forum Index > LoL General |
Alright, we're going to call it a day with all the Thorin drama, guys. I figured if it was about SI, onGamers, TSM, etc, it had some relevance to League but somehow you guys managed to devolve the discussion into an issue about race of all things. Enough is enough. Let's move along now. -NeoIllusions | ||

It's definitely not something that you just get every game as your fourth item, though. But you aren't even an ADC if you have a GA plus Zhonya's though. Along with boots you only have three offensive items now. | ||

I see Braum as a great peeler without much damage And yet he has great damage, so like Leona except more improved. Very hard to say before seeing him be played. I mean, whatever, call me out, I'm not afraid of people calling my elo (penis) small like others are, but I was more pointing out that the lower level the play, the more that "can work". Never meant it as a slight against you, I'm sure you'll join me in the fabled land of platinum where booze and hot girls follow you wherever you go. He is quite fun to play as well, only missing a hook. | ||

His laning was supposed to be passive and reactionary, but Riot initially made him so strong that he started and won every fight unless there were huge misplays. His lategame is still amazing, which I think most people predicted. I think a final nerf on his passive (- 10-20 base dmg) should put him in a spot where he's not constantly banned. Not really an excuse. 1 look at his kit screamed Lee-Syndrome. | ||

Shits weird. But let me say, TL LoL, dont 2v1 kids in soloqueue. Just makes you look tryhard and makes the other team play better upon recognizing your tryhardedness. You also probably lack the vision to play as such without losing a shit ton of dragons, and there is no Besides, very few pure LoL players even understand how to deny in a 2v1 lane unless they also played DotA/HoN at some point. Also, Rengar is still really really strong. I'd say the playerbase could adjust to him but I dont think they are smart enough to buy them vision items. | ||

If there is a Zed or something and my GA is down i will buy a Zhonyas, it gives comparable armor but also nullifys his ult. Though I guess Scimitar would be just as good but still. So troll to turn golden when he ults lolol. | ||

I only ask to laneswap when I go against an Irelia or Jax. Works out majority of the time. Considering I'm in Silver heheeheheheehehehe | ||

Against certain comps Rengar is a god. But when you are completely melee with conditional mobility and no reset mechanics, one CC is all that is needed to kill you. The issue, of course, is to be able to reliably land a CC before he kills someone important. | ||

I thought that was the point? Also, people want to win in soloqueue, and if 2v1s help them win, then they should do it. I'm actually quite sad Soloqueue doesn't have more 2v1s because the LCS meta includes that a lot. Without practice in soloqueue, it might get quite hard to get used to it for LCS, and if people practiced it more in LCS, teams might play better when it happens or find ways to counter it. I think the huge gap between NA LCS meta and NA soloqueue meta is a huge detriment that we should try and bridge, not something we should make fun of people for when they copy LCS meta. | ||

Like I just got done with a really frustrating game and the main reason we lost was due to lack of vision, even though I was doing all I could to ward and sweep. The team itself was ok, but only me and the ADC were warding. And even after I called the support out on no sightstone he continued to not get it (or even use his trinket ward) and we just slowly lost vision, then control of dragon/baron, then the game due to them being like 8k gold ahead of us at 30 minute mark. I try to be logical about it to them (vision wins games, objectives > kills, picks lead to objectives, etc.), and even ask them to throw it down somewhere even if it isn't in an ideal location. But no one else listened. | ||
