Replying to the post where you said that giving blue to Katarina and Yasuo is how the game should be played, my fucking point is not fucking moot, thank you very much.

Eh, I felt Nunu was pretty mana-hungry if you wanted to stay active (running 21-9-0, AD/armour/MR/AS) because you don't auto fast enough to make your spells free if you want to clear quickly.

It's entirely possible I played him wrong (starting gromp blue-side I failed to get to kill the red buff (after blue) before the enemy jungler reached the camp; it's also possible that I should simply only pick him purple-side (so if they start on their blue buff side they don't get a big pull like the duo lane's), or run to red after gromp and before my blue in that case; it was in ranked 5s so better coordination and people get actual pulls), but it made me curious as to what I should change, since I didn't feel that fast on just boots1+BB, always felt low on mana, and not clearing the first camps fast enough (even vs goddamn WW and Sejuani) to sneak efficiently into the enemy jungle.

If you chose to look at the argument holistically you would see I obviously didn't mean giving blue to Katarina and Yasuo (or any other champ) without question is how the game should be played. I was rather addressing the attitude that goes into the decision behind it.

By necessity, a large part of the game is played heuristically. The "optimal" way to play the game, as far as we can see from competitive play up to this point, is that mid should get blue far more often than not. The heuristic simplifies to giving mid blue, whereas the prevalent NA/EU heuristic is that jungler should get blue, which is the point I'm attacking.

An extreme analogy is playing a dual lane (ADC/Support usually) and deciding on farm allocation. The entire world as pretty much accepted that support should cede farm to the ADC, because that's what works the majority of the time. Heuristically, it checks out. That's to say there aren't situations where a support should get some farm - to catch up on levels, to finish a key item, etc. - but that is a harmonious understanding between all parties in the majority of cases. Mid-blue-jungle interaction should be treated similarly, but is instead much more contentious due to fundamental disagreements on who "should" get blue.

I don't think many high level na/EU players think junglers should get blues.

The better statement would be that they play too selfishly to do what they know is the correct thing over the greedy thing.

If Yasuo and Katarina were among the most played middle laners then it wouldn't be "nearly 100%" because giving Yasuo and Katarina blue buff is almost always just stupid. If you're right then EU/NA have a point over CN/KR because they understand blue buff doesn't just "belong to the middle laner".


I'm pretty sure Yasuo and Katarina are not the most played champs in any case so your point is moot.

Unilaterally is bad word anyway. Junglers are always thinking of laners so everytime a jungler takes blue when mid could have gotten it he made the concious decision to take it instead of mid.

Unilaterally applies just fine here. In this case I'm making one assertion (Ezhoon ceded blue to Bang), and since it's a binary scenario, you're by default taking the opposite (Bang took blue regardless of Ezhoon's disagreement) if you challenge my statement.

Cheep also made the point that junglers shouldn't be making the decision of who gets blue, mids should, which I disagree with pretty strongly.

Obviously it should be a team decision, but in absence of that I think its obviously the junglers decision because they are the ones with the summoner to secure the objective and the time necessary to pay attention to multiple lanes and the enemy junglers and know how to optimally address that objective.

It's the junglers decision
but junglers make team decisions

if the jungler is taking blue most of the time theres an argument that its a bad jungling decision but mid literally always wants blue so why should he have any input
its not like junglers have no idea what kind of difference a blue buff will make to a lane

mid is concentrating on his lane not jungle times and jungle paths and gank timings etc
asking a mid if he wants blue is like asking a guy if he wants to feel up some boobs

For all your supposed disdain of hyperbole you engage in it yourself with "mid literally always wants blue."

Your point of "if the jungler is taking blue most of the time theres an argument that its a bad jungling decision" again simplifies to mid should have blue as the default assumption. If there are compelling reasons against it mid can and should cede the blue, but "it's not like [mid laners] have no idea what kind of difference a blue buff will make to [the jungle]."

mid is concentrating on his lane not jungle times and jungle paths and gank timings etc


I mean, just like how a jungler has a general awareness of what goes on in lane, so should a mid laner have a general awareness of what goes on in the jungle.

From the way everyone is responding to you, it would seem to me (although other posters might prove the contrary) that nobody had any fucking clue what you weren't arguing for for most of the debate, in which case it might be said that although your perfect logical arguments and grammatical constructs were perfect, you should have taken into account the average intelligence of the forum reader, which is much lower than yours.

You're wrong again. The reason why whether mid or jungle should get the blue is something people disagree way more often than about who should get the farm in the duo lane is because the jungler should take the blue quite a bit more often than supports should take farm lol. That's amplified because you actually have a lot of time to think about that decision and communicate it minutes in advance.

Try more attack speed, you really want to make use of his passive, getting 5% CDR flat from blues also help tremendously. Are you making sure you use your passive on snowball? It costs a lot more than BB/Consume.

I run AS/Scaling health or armor/5 CDR%+Scaling MR and either MS or flat armor quints and 9/21 (ad masteries with CDR) or 0/9/21 - basically I just copy the highest winrate Koreans and 70%+ winrate foreigners. lol

You're saying mid should cede the blue though.

What you're not saying is jungle should choose to not give it to them.

I'm saying its ultimately not the laners decision, its the junglers decision.

I haven't tested or played enough Ashe to notice, but does shiv crit every single time she auto's an enemy that already has her passive? I'd imagine it would since all her autos are minicrits after her slow is applied.


It does yes. But its the same multiplier as all of your attacks. So if you have IE and Shiv the proc hits for 170 damage (so long as you don't accidentally waste it on a non-slowed target and you don't have any other crit chance but IE/Shiv).

Also worth noting that you should not ever blind pick NuAshe because Olaf and Yi are immune to her crits when they ult.

They said Shiv uses your crit% stat, not the auto crit.

I don't understand what this means. Like if you have just shiv does it do 120 or 130 or 100/200 80/20%?

When I tested on the PBE I thought it was 130. It could be 120 but i am near certain it wasn't 100/200 80/20.

If it is 120 (and so 160 or 140 with IE and shiv) then it's holy goodness an even worse buy than I thought.

Aside: when I get home tonight I will spreadsheet up some Ashe rune options to see what cN be done. And also do some testing on shiv damage.

I did say it was an extreme example, but it's a difference of scale and degree and not of kind. Using completely arbitrary numbers, support should take 1 cs out of every 100 and a jungler should take 1 blue out of every 10. Similar considerations should be made, namely does what I'm doing contribute to helping my team win the team. The only difference is that ADCs and supports generally have the same number - 1/100 - in mind, whereas, again using completely arbitrary numbers, mid thinks the number is 99/100 and jungle thinks the number if 50/100.

We're assuming that if you're in the same game, your general skill level and understanding of the game is about on par. In that case, due to the nature of the game (mid takes blue more often than jungle), jungle should cede blue to mid in case of disagreement, because you're both equally likely to be right/wrong, so giving blue to mid is correct more often than not. If you both agree there's no problem. And if it was left to the laner to decide he'd usually choose to take the blue himself, which coincides with the correct course of action based on probabilities.

Ok, so it's said that in an argument one should be able to convincingly define (and defend) the other position, so let me attempt that.
So what you're saying is that middle lane should usually get the second blue buff, and because of that the attitude that blue buff "belongs to the middle laner" (the middle laner decides whether he should get the blue or not) is correct. And because the KR/CN players are more prone to this attitude, they have an edge over EU/NA players.
Is that a fair summary of what your position is?

Obviously it should be a team decision, but in absence of that I think its obviously the junglers decision because they are the ones with the summoner to secure the objective and the time necessary to pay attention to multiple lanes and the enemy junglers and know how to optimally address that objective.


It's the junglers decision
but junglers make team decisions

if the jungler is taking blue most of the time theres an argument that its a bad jungling decision but mid literally always wants blue so why should he have any input
its not like junglers have no idea what kind of difference a blue buff will make to a lane


For all your supposed disdain of hyperbole you engage in it yourself with "mid literally always wants blue."

Your point of "if the jungler is taking blue most of the time theres an argument that its a bad jungling decision" again simplifies to mid should have blue as the default assumption. If there are compelling reasons against it mid can and should cede the blue, but "it's not like [mid laners] have no idea what kind of difference a blue buff will make to [the jungle]."

mid is concentrating on his lane not jungle times and jungle paths and gank timings etc


I mean, just like how a jungler has a general awareness of what goes on in lane, so should a mid laner have a general awareness of what goes on in the jungle.

asking a mid if he wants blue is like asking a guy if he wants to feel up some boobs


So you're saying you'd deny your bro the chance to feel up some boobs? That's not cool bro.



i thought it'd be funny to use hyperbole in the same post isaid it was retarded
LOL
ypu can see how retarded it is because plenty of times mids tell jungklers to take blue

Not quite.

Asian solo queue is generally accepted to be more "tryhard" than NA/EU solo queue. I already proposed a possible explanation (by percentage, CN/KR players watch pro games more than NA/EU players). They seek to emulate what is proven to be optimal in a competitive environment much more than NA/EU, and this is one manifestation of that.

EU/NA don't have an edge because they are more prone to this attitude, they are prone to this attitude because they have an edge (cause tryhard).

Yeah I'm not questioning your perceptiveness, I was pointing it out for our less intelligent forum readers as per Scip's suggestion that I make things more clear and accessible.

I think it would be more fair to say that he is saying that they are more prone to this attitude, and that reflects an underlying reason that they have an edge.

The answer is clearly: "I always give second blue to the enemy midlaner (via my own midlaner)."
