Pacov's place to enjoy the show.

Update 5/25/2017

  • This thread is all done.  I've lost interest in jibba jibbing here, but its been fun.  Thanks for all the memories.  
  • I am streaming from time to time on twitch - generally just when I'm trying hard in ranked though.  If interested, you can check that out here:  https://www.twitch.tv/pacovdumptruck
 

Well, I started a thread back in Dec 2011 that’s seen a lot of activity (some 922,000 views over the course of a few years apparently...).  That thread had a good deal of tips/strategies/discussions about League of Legends from new and old players alike.  You can find the previous thread (now archived) here:  https://forums.joeuser.com/413863.  I think its time to start fresh with a new thread.

What’s this thread all about?
For those that followed the previous thread, the type of content you see here will be fairly consistent to what you are used to.  Please consider this a place to discuss LoL related content as you like.  I'll do the same and treat the thread as a blog as well where I talk about what’s going on with me in LoL.  Feel free to jump in and join the discussion if you like.

Quick background on me
I played a lot of Demigod as pacov/cheesuscrust. Back in August 2011, I started getting heavily involved in League of Legends, and folks from the community were kind enough to help me figure things out.  I play LoL most nights, stream, make videos and it’s my main gaming interest.

when you land, its literally 2-4 seconds before your spiderlings start attacking.  I also found that while they are in that state, they are difficult to get to tank for you.

Did a couple runs through with Elise and was unable to duplicate this.  It might be skin related if you were using Blood Moon.  I'm a fan of Flower Power Elise so I wasn't going to get that one, but especially not if it's bugged.

interesting - maybe it is skin related. I was able to replicate it fairly consistently yesterday... but also perhaps I'm crazy.  

Also I'm downloading pillars of eternity now

oh and f2p moba infinite crisis (dc comic heroes - batman, supes, etc) is out now.  Played it in beta.  Was not impressed.  Everything felt like dominion to me.  Goign to check it out again though - maybe tonight.  Download and hit me up if you want to give it a go together.  

 

OH OH and Hots had an update that looked interesting come out a day or so ago - going to take a look at that again - got pretty bored with it after a brief stint last time, but updated/new content sounds good

I will gift him after I go out and buy some RP, only have 440~ sitting in my account or I would've already sent it. Will probably have the RP sometime next week after I cash my check though.

on Mar 27, 2015

He hasn't gotten on much lately but I think he is coming over to my house tonight so I can get him set up with friend request if he does.

An even easier way to do that would be for us to play a Normals together - i believe you can do a post-match Mystery Gift right?

 

-- also my quote feature is broken on my browser even though i know how to do BBCode.

I played some of infinite crisis.  They made it relatively fun to learn.  You unlock champs with each level of the tutorial.  In addition, the skins in the games are actually like new champs.  For instance, you buy normal batman, he has this kit.  You buy vampire batman, he has a diff kit.  Not completely sure how all that works.  I found it entertaining so far though.  I'm, of course, done now though.

Everyone should be on Tenzing's friend list now. I had him send invites to everyone while he visited this weekend. Please send him Mystery Gifts this week and let me know what they ended up being it will be fun to see if he ends up with 7 swamp master kennen level skins or if he comes out with Pulsefire Ezreal and Spirit Gaurd Udyr.

Finally back about 50% win rate in solo queue. I did the awesome lose like 10 games in a row thing shortly after I got diamond again this season and was at roughly a 45% win rate and was losing 30+ points on a loss for a good while now the win/loss is evening out again. I still think my MMR is a little lower than my rank since I am only getting 10-15 points a win but hopefully if I keep winning 2 out of 3 games it will improve and I can shake off the diamond V blues. I really would like to progress from season to season so if I am am stuck in diamond v until next season I will be disappointed in myself.

Also I was going through an identity crisis with brand this season. I thought he wasn't really competitive but I am enjoying a 60+ percent win rate with him right now and don't really feel like his match ups are that bad (except maybe leblanc and ahri, zed is even doable imo if I play well). I do think my temporary confidence drop in brand made me a better player by opening up my top lane champ pool. I am pretty confident on Mao and Liss in top lane with sion/renekton/mundo as other options. My ADC is also much better than it used to be especially on corki.

I can definitely play support to a diamond level. I seem to win the majority of the games I have to support and I enjoy playing thresh/blitz and bard. I carried a recent game pretty hard on thresh getting my kalista very fed off some nice hooks/flash flay box combos. He is definitely a play maker bot lane.

Playing the ward mini game is also fun and hilarious at times.

on Mar 30, 2015

fun for him and u perhaps - don't think any of us really know the guy that won and as such don't care as much as if 1 of our regular pals won.  Anyway, I'll be able to gift winning guy whenever the 2 week hold ends. I don't think I'll be doing FLCS again, though.  It was kind of fun for a week or 2 but then I lost interest for the most part.  It was neat to try out at any rate, so thanks for that.  

Played a little more of infinite crisis.  It's really a fairly ugly game.  I'm enjoying myself a little bit because I enjoy dc comics and the storyline/lore elements are all there.  From what I can tell, the game did morph a bit from when I 1st played it.  It's not quite dominion, but there are elements.  You have the lane w/ turrets concept.  You also have jungle objectives including camps and major enemies granting buffs. The dominion element is pretty much the same as twisted treeline.  There are 2 capture points that lock after you get them, but they empower your lane minions.  You seem to get unlocks for this and that as you play and generate the equivilent of IP.  

Also, there are champs and champ skins.  Its a little strange, but there will be multiple batmen for example.  Vampirebatman and normal batman as examples.  Those batmen also have skins.  So, different abilities and those guys are treated as diffi champs, but just w/ diff costumes... if that make sense.

The color palette of the game is dark and drab.  The game is ok mechanically, but you need to learn all the same crap you already know in lol.  I've just been buying suggested items, which is, ofc, probably not optimal.  And I don't know that i care enough to go further into checking them out.  The font is kind of smeh and I don't find it super easy to read and understand all of the abilities just on sight - I need to try them out to figure out what's up.  I'll probably play it a little bit more and then discard it.  

Also I'm still sucking at LoL.

OMG_ZEX

Finally back about 50% win rate in solo queue..

Awesome man.  Glad that it sounds like you've got your Ranked stable of champions sorted out.

I love Corki too, but I think I'm gonna put him more as my back up ADC now that I've discovered Kalista.  I didn't want anything to do with her at first because she seemed a little too APM reliant for someone with my skill level and because she is such a mobility creep whore.

But... I didn't wanna become all bitter about it like poor ol Karl so I've decided to join the mobile side.  No more Varus games for me thank you.

And... turns out that she's not that reliant on mechanics anyway.  A lot of the skill needed to use her comes from positioning decisions, when to use her ult, keeping track of her stacks and resetting them properly in lane, etc.  Spamming attack move is not as hard as catching Draven axes and doesn't get screwed up by having Hawaiian ping.  

I suck really bad with her but she is soooo much fun!  Well... maybe I don't suck that bad.  Got a Pentakill at 11 minutes last Ranked game I played with her.

on Mar 30, 2015

and the chase potential is amazing! Even better than Vaynes when ahead, imo.

on Mar 31, 2015

oOoOoOOoOoOOo a penta! Congratz! First one in ranked?

Played some games with Rawrrrrr last night. He doesn't look to rusty, still farms like a beast and gets the kills. Lots of fun games last night with Karl/cov/rawrr/thunder.

Also played a few with Tenzing after you guys dipped. He still hasn't recieved any gifts He won fair and square guys! gift the man!

on Mar 31, 2015

Oh wtf

on Mar 31, 2015

That was why i asked if we could play together on Friday night while i was on, since you can Mystery Gift after a game, rather than waiting 2 weeks.
