Actually for a serious vote since you guys are apparently saving that quote for the new map or whatever

I always liked the Akali quote about matchmaking though I don't recall what it is offhand. Might be too long for a topic title too

"So many noobs...will the matchmaker ever find true balance?" is probably too long, yeah. Don't ask me how I remember it what with not playing Akali and not having sound to hear it.

So I'm dicking around on the LOL Forums and I come across a topic about switching 2 people's passives. I found it boring until this game across:

Garen is in the Brush. All of them. Everywhere. At all times.

Yeah, I know. My suggestion was legit, for whatever it's worth. Pantheon has Spear Shot to allow him to keep the procs coming with sheen, and it adds some more extra burst he rather needs for quick engagements. Level Aegis first for easier engagements, and QW then bail out after an autoattack. If you get boots early, the harassment should be pretty safe and your only worry will be running out of mana (in a solo), or getting counterharassed by another enemy (in a duo).

Pfft, Midsize map with incentives for staying in one place a little while forever. What better way to cause engagements to happen than decent speeds and reasons not to use it?

I can think of several better ways >_>.

For one, if higher chance of finding someone = more chance for engagements = a good thing, why not just make everyone's locations permanently visible?

Because letting people know you're digging up the Sword of a Thousand Truths is a Very Bad Idea (TM).

New Record 1550 ELO.

Twitch literally makes both my own team and the enemy team turn into chickens with their heads cut off. Like... I'll show up and attack Vayne twice. She'll FLASH away, for no reason. She just had to step back a few steps. Then, I'll show up again to attack vayne a bit later to do a bit more damage and Malzahar on my team FLASHES to us and does absolutely nothing because he's still not in range. All the while I have both summoners and am just ???

I then made their bot shen start to roam and he seemed quite confused at what to do so our Malphite destroyed Blitzcrank by himself bottom??

Either way, I usually make games go crazy and I find it quite odd that nearly every time I pick Twitch, someone on my team will choose Kat, trying to troll me for my pick? I dunno, I guess it's worked...

That's because your champion is an insufferably **** who has a broken-ass passive. He seriously needs to have it changed to magic when he's overhauled. SO. GODDAMN. INFURIATING. /foams

Combined with high mobility, it makes you uncatchable without outsmarting you. That's a really huge amount of utility, still - just not completely stupid like dynamic vision is.

Hang on, combined with high mobility? I'm confused, what's your problem with dynamic vision? I thought that it was them being uncatchable, but you've acknowledged that your change doesn't fix that.

If Archer moves, say, four squares and has vision, they're hard to catch - but not impossible, you just have to win the WIFOM game and stay at two-slash-three hexes' distance and then predict their path. If Archer moves any decent amount of hexes and has dynamic vision, they can just prepare a "if we would run into people, head elsewhere" conditional and derp around firing global shots. Hence, uncatchable without outsmarting: with the current vision, even being a better player is irrelevant because the rules make it so you can NEVER come close without burning Command Spells.

anyways not our fault archer is pretty op

And this is why Archers should never, EVER be allowed to do conditionals based on vision. Ever. They get vision at end of turn tbqh.

So your solution for vision being too effective is to make it nigh-worthless? Fascinating.

There's no particular problem with allowing a team to gain flexible information. What matters is just how easily they can take advantage of that information.

I'm just saying I don't think you have the reflexes to react to a proper Eve gank especially with an ability you actually have to aim and not some AoE thing or flash. Especially not with your ping. Usually a good Eve gank involved the target being dead before the stun wears off, which was <= 1-2 seconds.

Oh, absolutely, but that's why I'm specifically discussing Morde and not, say, Ashe - Morde has the good ol' shield to basically give him a 500 HP buffer at 9 or so, scaling to twice that at max level. Against your average solomid Eve will work the same because a mistake is a mistake period. Against a tanky man like Morde or Xin (assuming the Xin has decently high health and you have no Sheen yet), either the carry or both gankers will die. This is me arguing a niche case, not the rule, that's all. :P

Health as Xin?

Blasphemy!

Also a good eve gank against Morde is going to read Morde's shield too. It'd be foolish to just look at Morde in the red yet with a full shield and go "I can take this" by default.

Though if he's really deep in the red the 500 hp buffer might not be enough.

But yeah. Shield HP isn't really different from normal HP. Just take it into account and he's not any more difficult to gank (with burst) than anyone.

Agreed. All about not being dumb, which most players aren't, luckily for me. :P

There's one character with whom I absolutely crush, and everybody else I play infrequently. Why would I NOT talk from the viewpoint I know the most about? I know other champions very well, but my play experience is vastly lopsided in favor of Morde. What's wrong about that?

Have you faced her post nerf yet?

I think you overestimate you ability to get your R/one shot the carry off before you're dead.

I know burst like the back of my hand. If an enemy is under 500 HP and eve ganks, I get a doublekill, and that's usually how my deaths to her went down: I got ganked by a bait, killed during the CC, and that was that. If my pre-queued R goes off, however, I win the fight.

Most of my ganks as Eve didn't even use the Stun as a crutch. Bio explained the Eve ganking style pretty well tbqh. Damage didn't go down so I really doubt it's going to matter much.

The HP gain decrease on her ult is gonna be the thing that hurts.

I know it makes a world of difference as the guy who's had to FACE eve. If Eve tries to gank me as Morde she needs a bait, and by golly, damage is not going to stop me from pressing R, oneshotting the carry, regaining my health, and then just tearing into eve. You need CC for that, because if not the damage is literally nulled the instant it happens.

Peace___Frog posted...
Put it this way: unless your team has CC on every lane, your ganks are going to be unsuccessful.
Unless the enemy team is pushing your towers really hard, in which case you have a better shot at having successful ganks.

Neg, it's still going to bomb unless the pusher also doesn't have flash, is low on health, and has no CC. So basically you have to be facing a Mordekaiser who's very nearly scored a kill on your buddy but isn't 6 yet and have Ignite at the ready to screw him over.

--
Placeholder anti-capslock sig.

But seriously, Twitch is infuriatingly bull**** even now. He's nerfed, but is ultra-dumb even in his nerfiness. Imagine if Vayne dealt true her true damage to you EVERY ATTACK, then didn't need to attack to trigger it, and could top it off by Condemning you into a wallhit automatically from a distance of 1000 units. That's twitch. I hatehatehatehatehate that idjit rat and wish he'd die in a fire. Characters who can bull**** their way around Mordekaiser's shield really get my goat.

Nah, Eve is kinda terrible now, don't buy her. Put it this way: unless your team has CC on every lane, your ganks are going to be unsuccessful. Twitch is actually better than she is because he deals unreducible damage and his slow is absolutely massive and longlasting, plus he had range and a big ****off nuke.

Well the ranged AD carries are Ashe, Vayne, Sivir, Tristana, MF, Corki, and Ezreal, right? MF is definitely better than Sivir and Ezreal, and worse than Corki. How is she compared to Ashe and post-nerf Vayne?

Since Shen is free this week, I thought it would be fun to try his jungle. After practicing a route a few times, I felt pretty good so I tried it in an actual game. I don't feel like I did any worse with him than I do with Amumu.

But that's a problem, because I've been playing Amumu for months. The only conclusions I can draw are either that the champions are just really easy to play, or that my personal skill caps out after a handful of games.

Since I lose the majority of games I play, I'm betting it's the second option. I feel like I've hit some kind of plateau and I'm not sure how to proceed, aside from last hitting more minions.

It might just be that I was never suited to play Amumu in the first place. It never really felt like anything clicked with him. I only played him because my friends needed someone to tank and jungle. I wouldn't exactly say it's fun to play a tank. The only champions that have really clicked with me have been Annie and Morgana, but I rarely get to play them. Besides, I'm not great with them either.

I'm no longer certain why I typed this post anymore. Sorry.

Keep practicing. It means you're processing what you've learned and are still assimilating it. It's happened to me before and every plateau is just a sign that you're about to make another jump. Keep at it!

I've heard people call Corki the best AD ranged carry in the game, but I never got around to playing him during his free week. Is he really that good? What are his advantages over Ashe, Caitlyn, MF, Tristana, and Ezreal?

And I've heard people call MF a subpar one. Why is that? I haven't used Ezreal at all yet and I've heard he's the worst, again, why?

You know how MF's Bullet Time does great damage? Corki has it as a regular skill, except it also makes his autoattacks stupidly powerful, his version of Double Up debuffs the enemy carry on top of hitting hard, he can perma-proc Trinity Force, and he can escape without Flash. Oh, and all his attacks deal 110% of their listed damage, just 'cause. MF isn't bad, she's just reliant on winning the laning phase decisively compared to Corki and Ashe.

The new tank sounds kinda....broken. I'm not gonna jump the gun or anything because that would be silly, but a Stun, a Skillshot Taunt(which means she can get you from a serious distance), a debuff with every spell, and an AOE Ultimate....

she sounds like she takes the best from every tank and combines it in one.

She has no taunt. She has:

-A low-CD low-duration stun.
-A skillshot gapcloser, either like Grag's bodyslam or Mumu's toss.
-A defensive stance that either raises your defensive stats for a while or puts a shield up, and then deals a bunch of damage.
-The Sun.

No taunts anywhere.
