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.

LOL page sorter.  Use this to sort your runes and masteries easily.  You can also import runes for other peeps... like phreaks rune page demonstration.  Did this earlier today

 

Program easy to use

Made it to my Diamond 4 promos tonight. I have been on a pretty big hot streak (minus a little 3 game loss streak) to get me there. Hopefully I can go 2-0 and move up at some point this week.

Well had a typical promo experience. Laned vs riven as renekton gave up first blood... game over. Second game played braum because our comp needed disengage. Cait afked in jungle team invaded shes died... great way to start. Kayle dies to wolves in the jungle. Manage to get a double kill bot for cait doesn't matter dudes a fucking idiot and plays terrible the rest of the game. Urgot feeds out of his mind. I afk while the other 4 argue over whos fault the game is 18 minute game.

OK - so I was researching trying to get things sorted with my 4k monitor and I learned something that I think most of you will find useful if you take a few moments to read. My prob with scaling on my monitor is that in LoL certain things are way too small like the health bars - HOWEVER, I still play at a higher resolution than most of you.  TIL you can do this as well pretty freaking easily.  

AMD (and I believe NVIDIA) have something called virtual super resolution.  Lets say your max rez on your monitor is 1920x1080.  Pretty standard stuff.  Well using VSR, you use your graphics card to more or less emulate the higher resolution scaling - the result is a 1920x1080 monitor that can run its desktop and game at 2560x1440.  Now, I tested this on my other monitor and took no FPS hit - that might be the same for you.

Anyway, to try this if you have AMD

  1. update to latest drivers (latest release was 7 day ago or so)
  2. open up cataylyst control panel.  
  3. Click on my digital flat displays
  4. Click properties
  5. Click the check box for enable virtual super resolution
  6. click apply
  7. Close catalyst control panel
  8. on desktop, right click and then click on resolution
  9. Adjust the resolution to 2560x1440
  10. Open a LOL custom game and adjust your resolution in gam

Try the max setting or another and see if you like it and if you take a FPS hit.   If you like it, you have a sharper looking image and more field of view

And a headache.

 

If you have fast eyes, such things are evil.

Plus $4,000.00 is way too much to pay for a monitor.  Unless having that extra field of view gets Pacov to Diamond.  Then it's totally worth and I'm gonna get one too.

4k monitor is 4k resolution, not $4k.

 

You can pick a decent one up for $600 in the 28 inch range.

I'm getting a little tired of all you homeless kids that can't afford $4,000 monitors.  Maybe stop going to the library to log onto the net to post here and get a job.

BRB getting an 8k monitor to one up pacov.
