League of Legends: Let's Talk About uhhh??
- Thread starter Thorns
- Start date
actually people can play this game regardless of level!!!
maybe you've forgotten since it's been a while or something idk but when you're still at like level 3 you CAN play a game of LoL!
I don't want people to like me lol, I come on here to entertain myself, not to make friends (although there are a few people that I actually thoroughly enjoy talking to on this forum, which I never expected!). In this thread I have some fun discussing this game that I casually enjoy and I look for tips from the people that know more about the game than I do. You're a (BAN ME PLEASE) if something that simple bothers you.
man i forgot i wasn't a moderator on this forum and i can't ban people
oh well
oh well
i hope you realize that working towards level 30 means learning the game so you're not bad enough to get reported and banned by tribunal when you hit level 30. i also hope you realize that anything you do sub-30 is meaningless to us so stop posting about it.
what we want to see you posting is how do i handle these champs? what situations do i encounter when so and so happens? buff timers, lane control, lane freezing, carry mechanics etc. THIS IS NOT YOUR LITTLE BITCH FORUM, BYRNE so please: stop bitching in our thread you aren't welcome in it yet with that attitude. here on smogon we have many league players who are sub 30 who are great people and who want to learn this game, and we also have post 30s who bitch less than you which is something that should never be said.
also for the last paragraph thing i'll start off with suggesting you take out the insults before you get infracted; that will help clean up this thread just a tiny bit more and make your entertaining life just a bit more enjoyable. with your current attitude you're nothing more than the next sprinkles to troll this forum
please grow up, sincerely
the community of smogon
dear byrne
earlier today, i was viewing this thread from my phone. it minimizes the screen size something fierce due to the proportions, meaning until i zoom in i see way more posts than usual.
something i noticed was that nearly every other post was by you - this is a problem when most of your contributions are so frequent but also so short.
if you minimized the religious posting (in the temporally often sense) then there would be less of a problem - especially when a lot of your posts are just commentary on a game you played, a low level game, which to lv30s gets tiring because low level games are high kill high bad shoddy build low cs clusters.

I literally have only made two posts where I bitched about anything and they were both on the last page and it's simply the first time I ever noticed having bad teammates ruining a game. Something like this was new to me and I did not know if there was something I could do better, which is why I posted about it. Please read the posts and actually decipher what my intention was rather than saying I was "just bitching" for the sake of bitching.
This just comes down to you being elitist and you don't want anyone except the level 30 players posting. That's cool and all that you don't care about what sub-30 players do, but I'm trying to get better and learn about this game that I enjoy. Posting my experiences as I climb my way to level 30 is not a bad thing for me to do.
Hey, thanks for not being a douche bag!
Sorry that I have been posting in this thread so much. I've just been playing this game quite often lately and am just extremely fascinated with it for some reason and I want to be good at it, so I've been looking for tips and which champions to try out that fit my playstyle. Posting will become extremely less frequent when I'm less of a noob.
In summary: call me out anywhere on Smogon, because I know I'm a shitty poster and I come off as a troll. But not in this thread. I'm actually completely genuine in this thread and there is ZERO reason for you to attack me, Joshe.
Mr.E's fun with patch notes!
also "byrne you don't need to post about every other one of your games" and "you can't fucking infract anyone anyway so shut up joshe"
PVP.net v1.70
Crest of Honor - Honorable Opponent will now be displayed to the player and his teammates during champion select lobby and the loading screen
Fixed a bug where a player's Ranked Solo rating would be displayed before all of his provisional matches had been finished.
who the fuck cares
League of Legends v1.0.0.150
Twisted Treeline has been remade!
New layout and reworked jungle that will push the pace of champion encounters.
New altar control objective and boss, Vilemaw.
New environmental art, monster skins, music, and sound.
New Twisted Treeline items (details are subject to change)
IF THE PATCH IS TONIGHT HOW ARE THE DETAILS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE? TOO LATE NOW DOODS!
*NEW ITEM* Blackfire Torch
Recipe: Kage's Lucky Pick + Catalyst
Total gold cost: 2890 (combine cost: 800)
+50 Ability Power
+300 Health
+350 Mana
Unique Passive: Your spells burn for an additional 5% of the target's maximum Health in magic damage over 3 seconds (effect halfed for AoE and and damage over time).
Not cost-efficient, passive costs you about 400g. I don't know the mechanics behind it but it seems really stupid if DoT spells refresh it over the duration... really mediocre otherwise. Most of the best champions to abuse it, those with low-cooldown (but NOT spammable) single-target spells, are manaless and thus have no reason to be buying it.
*NEW ITEM* Wooglet's Witchcap
Recipe: Needlessly Large Rod
Total gold cost: 2700 (combine cost: 1100)
+100 Ability Power
Unique Passive: +10% Movement Speed
Unique Passive: Increases Ability Power by 25%.
Tailor-made for the best Twisted Treeline champion, Singed? WTF this thing is an awesome Deathcap replacement.
*NEW ITEM* Overlord's Bloodmail
Recipe: Giant's Belt + Ruby Crystal
Total gold cost: 2565 (combine cost: 980)
+850 Health
Unique Passive: On kill or assist, heal 200 HP over 5 seconds.
Unless "on kill" includes non-champion kills, which I doubt, this is a really fucking bad item. Is this replacing Warmog's on TT or what, because who the fuck is buying this over Warmog's? Pretty sure I'm not buying it regardless because man it's just BAD.
*NEW ITEM* Lord Van Damm's Pillager
Recipe: Heart of Gold + Brutalizer
Total gold cost: 2962 (combine cost: 800)
+40 Attack Damage
+350 Health
Unique Passive: 10% Cooldown Reduction
Unique Passive: 10% Spell Vamp
Please bring this to Summoner's Rift... :doom: It's the item AD casters deserves but not the one it needs right now.
*NEW ITEM* Grez's Spectral Lantern
Recipe: Madred's Razors
Total gold cost: 1200 (upgrade cost: 200)
+25 Attack Damage
+30 Armor
Unique Passive: Your basic attacks against minions and monsters have a 20% chance to deal 300 bonus magic damage.
Unique Active: A stealth-detecting mist grants vision in the target area for 10 seconds (1 minute cooldown).
Would be nice to keep the lifesteal, changing this out from Wriggle's on TT, but the AD and Armor are still worth reasonably more than what you pay. Having an AD alternative to Sweeper is cool too.
*NEW ITEM* Wicked Hatchet
Recipe: Cloak of Agility + Long Sword
Total gold cost: 1955 (combine cost: 710)
+20 Attack Damage
+18% Critical Strike Chance
Unique Passive: Your basic attacks inflict Grievous Wounds on enemy champions, causing 50% reduced healing and regeneration for 1.5 seconds.
Executioner's Calling 2.0, which for some reason costs insanely more gold? :/
*NEW ITEM* Blade of the Ruined King
Recipe: Bilgewater Cutlass
Total gold cost: 2825 (upgrade cost: 1000)
+40 Attack Damage
+10% Life Steal
Unique Passive: Your attacks deal 4% of the target's current health in magic damage and heals you for half the amount (120 max vs. minions).
Unique Active: Drains target champion, dealing 150% physical damage plus 50% of your attack damage and healing you by the same amount. Additionally, you steal 30% of their movement speed for 2 seconds (1 minute cooldown).
Looks AMAZING for almost any AD champ. You might question its usefulness on AD carries just like Bloodrazor, as the proc doesn't scale with Crit / APen / LS, but the offensive stats are relatively more cost-efficient (you pay for Armor on Bloodrazor) and the active ability is ridiculous. With a weapon like this, how did its king get ruined in the first place?
*NEW ITEM* Ichor of Rage
Gold cost: 500
Click to Consume: Grants 20-42 Attack Damage based on champion level, 20-42% Attack Speed based on champion level, and 15% increased damage to Turrets for 4 minutes.
*NEW ITEM* Ichor of Illumination
Gold cost: 500
Click to Consume: Grants 30-64 Ability Power based on champion level, 15% Cooldown Reduction, and a huge boost to mana and energy regeneration for 4 minutes.
Souped-up elixir replacements for TT. Both are totally worth buying, probably even quite early, because god DAMN are they strong.

Souped-up elixir replacements for TT. Both are totally worth buying, probably even quite early, because god DAMN are they strong.
Blitzcrank
Base Health reduced to 518 from 568
Health per level reduced 95 from 100
Not a big deal, Blitz already has absurd base health considering his passive. Still sturdier than other non-Leona supports, still gonna be a terror if he gets farm.
Evelynn
Agony’s Embrace Ability Power ratio reduced to +1% every 100 Ability Power from +1% every 50 Ability Power
Only knocks off maybe 6% tops by endgame. Won't be a big blow to her, the effective removal of DFG as an item hurts her way more. :/ She'll be fine though. Her mobility in combat and ability to gank through wards unseen remains unchanged.
Ezreal
Essence Flux no longer reduces enemy champion Attack Speed
R.I.P. Ezreal. No longer a scourge to all his AD carry brethren, will still be viable because he has the best escape move and best poke. Will probably fall into complete disuse anyway because that's the usual reaction to nerfs.
Jayce
Thundering Blow
No longer deals any flat base damage (still deals % Max Health damage and has a bonus Attack Damage ratio)
Fixed: Stun no longer sometimes lasts beyond the knockback duration
Acceleration Gate mana cost increased to 50 from 30
Non-retards didn't level E first anyway, so it shouldn't affect his dominant laning much. Reasonable chunk of his late-game burst nerfed, of course, but I think he'll be fine with his versatility and poke.
Leona
Fixed: Shield of Daybreak's cooldown now matches its tooltip (11/10/9/8/7 seconds)
Mordekaiser
Fixed: Mace of Spades now damages wards properly
Poppy
Fixed: Devastating Blow now damages wards properly
Rengar
Base Health Regeneration reduced to 4 from 8
Health Regeneration per level reduced to 0.4 from 0.8
Bonetooth Necklace no longer grants a base +10 Attack Damage
Savagery Empowered Attack Damage ratio reduced to 2.0 from 2.5
Thrill of the Hunt
Stealth duration reduced to 5 seconds from 7
Cooldown increased to 140/105/70 seconds from 120/85/50
R.I.P. Rengar. I always thought he was overrated anyway, assassins are rarely held in high regard and that's basically what he is, but this severely hurts his burst potential. Probably necessary but ultimately it's all that made him viable in the first place... Not sure why he needed his own tier of badness in health regen either.
Skarner
Crystalline Exoskeleton Cooldown increased to 18 seconds from 14
Impale will no longer finish casting if the target escapes the range during the cast time
Necessary nerf to his shield, and well fuck Skarner anyway. Thanks for the bugfix too, ulting people out of their Flash is way too damn easy at the moment.
Sona
Base Health reduced to 410 from 450
Base Armor reduced to 9 from 11
Knee-jerk reaction to the world champ's support player preferring her as a support champion. :/ She was squishy enough as it is, this is just ridiculous.
Syndra
Force of Will
Now grabs nearest Dark Sphere in range if no valid target selected
Grab time reduced to 0.25 seconds from 0.33
Throw commands given during the grab time now execute immediately after the grab finishes
Fixed a bug where minions/Dark Spheres being pulled could get stuck on terrain
Scatter the Weak
Dark Spheres that have nearly finished casting will now get knocked back once they arrive
Fixed a bug where units hit by both Scatter the Weak and an affected Dark Sphere would be knocked back but not stunned
Unleashed Power
Spell shields will now only block a single sphere rather than the entire spell
Now also pulls in spheres cast just before the start of Unleashed Power
Fixed a bug where Unleashed Power would go on cooldown if the target died before the cast animation completed
Everyone else gets one line for bugfixes and tiny tweaks. She gets half a page. "Okay."
Tristana
Explosive Shot Cast Range now matches her Attack Range (including per level increases from her passive Draw a Bead)
Fixed: Rocket Jump now is more reliable when used around terrain
Buster Shot mana cost reduced to 100 from 140
ME GUSTA
Trundle
Rabid Bite Mana Cost decreased from 40 to 30
Contaminate's cast animation no longer locks Trundle out of using other abilities
Trundle balance changes in MY patch notes? Are you TROLLING?
Twisted Fate
Fixed: Pick a Card now damages wards properly
Items
Ward Skins
Harrowing Ward skins will be available to unlock in the store in the Ward Skins tab.
Unlocking a ward skin allows you to use it in game for the next 7 days.
Multiple weeks can be stacked for an individual ward skin.
When activated in the store, ward skins cosmetically change both sight and vision wards in-game.
Deathfire Grasp
No longer grants Cooldown Reduction
Active base damage reduced to 15% current Health from 25%
Ability Power ratio increased to 5% per 100 Ability Power from 4%
R.I.P. Deathfire Grasp. They may as well have removed it from the game entirely because that's effectively what they did, assuming no commensurate cost reduction. Biggest nerf in LoL history? Also a middle finger to Vlad and Morde's CDR itemization.
Phage
Slow duration reduced to 2 seconds from 2.5
Slow for ranged attacks reduced to 20% from 30%
Trinity Force
Slow for ranged attacks reduced to 25% from 35%
Frozen Mallet
Fixed: Slow duration now correctly lasts for 2.5 seconds instead of 2
Hextech Sweeper
New Recipe: Amplifying Tome + Kindlegem
Total gold cost: 1435 (combine cost: 150)
Ability Power reduced from 40 to 25
Active effect increased from 6 second duration to 10 seconds.
Co-op vs. AI
Cho'gath bot will now increase the damage of Vorpal Spikes when he levels it up.
Veigar bot will now appear on intermediate difficulty in Co-op vs AI for all maps.
Fixed a bug where Summoner's Rift bots would occasionally get stuck on the summoning platform after respawn if enemy champions were nearby
Fixed a bug where Kayle Bot would idle while trying to attack enemy minions
Bots now properly factor untargetable enemy turrets in threat calculations, making it harder to get them stuck between towers.
...How the hell did you get a bot stuck between your towers in the first place?
General
The Dragon's burning damage will no longer disrupt players from Recalling
THANK YOU BASED GOD
Game tips and interesting facts will now be displayed on the loading screen and at the start of some matches
The mini-scoreboard will no longer block right clicks from issuing champion orders.
Item cooldowns will now be displayed in a similar color blue to spell cooldowns.
The blue overlay for spells on cooldown has been slightly lightened.
Locking the camera on a champion will now persist through that champion's deaths.
Added a hotkey for switching between items and gold on the scoreboard.
Directed camera algorithms have been improved for Twisted Treeline.
API for Manual Recommended Items Overrides now works correctly with all champions and also works correctly even if the character changes forms prior to opening the shop for the first time, like Udyr
Base Health reduced to 518 from 568

People get DFG on Vlad? He's a DPS mage, idk why you would get it on him as his burst damage is kinda shitty. Late game I'd rather have utility/tankiness from items rather than additional burst.
I don't normally do this, but I need some on advice on whether I should buy Blitz, Jayce, or Rumble.
Blitz is a great support and would let me first pick him in ranked, or just play him if I wanted to. He's also only 3150, so I could pick up some scaling health seals along with his purchase if I wanted to.
Jayce was nerfed in the last patch but not actually that hard, so I'm wondering if he's still worth it or if I should test the waters and wait it out for a while.
Rumble just looks fun.
No, I'm not interested in playing Elise, and I already have Kha'zix - with that in mind, any advice?

Play Rumble, he's so much fun with the heat management thing+who doesn't like missiles/flamethrowers/harpoons.
Blitz is pretty fun, but apparently permabanned in ranked.
Jayce is just E, Q, Q, E, Q. O you jumped on me, I guess I'll E you away. E, Q, Q, E, Q...
Hello Jebus, I'd say that first you would need to make sure you got runes for :
- supporting (like flat yellow/purple armor blue mr and red flat gold or something like that and not the random **** i see all day on supports)
- ad (like flat ad red/purple and armor yellow, mr blue)
- and stuff for top lane/mid depending on the matchup
- stuff for jungling depending on your jungler/you strategy (counter, camper etc.)
Whatever you probably know that already.
First Blitz, he can be played jungle and support obviously, I think it's a great SNOWBALL support. I insist on snowball. That is to say, not good on soloQ if you don't know who will lane with you (maybe a total idiot unable to follow your engages for instance). However in duoQ, against some no escape ad especially, you can crush lane and snowball really hard (I'm more thinking about leveling snowball and not itemizing snowball :p).
*Banned on ranked? Not really from my experience, well it happens but Sona is like much more threatening (anyway there aren't much support bans like in competitive play). I see no reason to pick Blitz else than "I want to play my weak ad and once I've been traumatised by a Blitz; plus I have not enough micro to avoid hooks"
Jayce, is the hero I'd recommend to you. It's not the easiest hero to learn (you got potentially 7 spells, and cooldowns that you need to manage). But once you got the trick, it's really not hard to play him correctly.
He's a SAFE pick in soloQ, you can firstpick him, it doesn't matter because he got no true counter.
There is only safe counter picks like Nidalee, let's say Yorick. Even if, once you got your Bloodthirster, Yorick can't do much against you anymore.
Tbh, the most solid pick in soloQ is Jayce for now. However it's a Pick or Ban so...
Rumble is strong, really strong but he's situationnal. So yes, if you got a easy melee top lane (I don't know, let's say Wu kong) or a weak early enemy (like malph, or a bad Udyr) you can crush him so hard that he will either : - leave lane / -leave game.
But you will need a good jungler (that gives you some cover, because you'll probably be pushing more than your opponent), and a perfect warding.
Let's make it easier to picture. Imagine you're bot side, you got to lane top against Irelia. There is Lee sin as jungler against you. Well son, you better hide inside this bush, because if I'm this Lee Sin, you'll probably lose at least a Flash and be forced to go fountain because I'll camp you hard. And once you're behind an Irelia with Rumble you better cry at your jungler to come :p
Else, snowballs like no one else, but it is a COUNTERPICK that need a safe lane and to take kills.
So all things considered, I'd tell you Jayce because he got the most competitive value, if you get good at playing Jayce, you'll be able to greatly profit from it. However Rumble and Blitz are funny to play with, Rumble is easy, but with Blitz you'll laugh so hard at your hooks at start and this is priceless.
* Looking for someone to duoQ with me. Got 1400-1500 elo right now, top 1700. I played and won some ESL weekly tourney with my friends, I also play sometimes with my friend's accounts (all at 2k) to prevent the decay so I got some experience (been playing DotA also alot competitively ). Obviously someone within the 1400-1500 radius, I swear if you got the level we bring it on to 1700 and above easily. Can play any role.
* DFG on Vlad is great, it's been a long time that I use it. It's the only way to win some match up, for instance against a decent Jax.
- supporting (like flat yellow/purple armor blue mr and red flat gold or something like that and not the random **** i see all day on supports)
- ad (like flat ad red/purple and armor yellow, mr blue)
- and stuff for top lane/mid depending on the matchup
- stuff for jungling depending on your jungler/you strategy (counter, camper etc.)
Whatever you probably know that already.
First Blitz, he can be played jungle and support obviously, I think it's a great SNOWBALL support. I insist on snowball.

Scaling HP seals are overrated, I'd rather take flat armor to help live ganks/take less minion damage/take less auto attack damage.
Also you should probably just wait like a week before buying anything to see if the Jayce changes really hit him or whatever.

cause she can zone the enemi very hard, she can be very tanky with her ult, it's annoying to chase her on top, she has a good sustein and poke.
Nida top is so strong because, like Jayce, there is no real counter. The only thing you can do is pick a hero with enough sustain to compete her at farming.
She's almost ungankable.
However, no cc.. no presence in team fight unless you're really fed.
Dodge runes are not good, since the nerfs in the past there is no more reason to get them.

How do you even still HAVE dodge seals? Last I checked they removed those from the game and slapped down a HEFTY IP REFUND for anyone who went out of their way to buy those overpriced yellows.
Is the server down for everyone else? I was DYING to pop online and throw hours at the redesigned TT, but naturally, as with other times Riot drops a huge patch, the servers get this huge migrane and lock us out of the game.
ALSO, anyone that wants to shoot me an add ingame, feel free. I'm MaxwellNoir on there.
