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.

Yeah, I knew you were just kidding around. Here's some information regarding the program.

Curious if you record all your games like that or just turn it on at specific moments

When he sees amazing Kalista mechanics in action?

Just want to toss out this completely horrible thing.  Mord/aatrox bot - dbl relic start.  Find some other goon and try it once...

No, I'm boycotting SR games for the time being.  Skarner is two of my friends favorite champion and I'm not going to play this game until he's buffed back into viability.  Hedgie and Karl warned me that his rework would make him horribly underpowered and in honor of them I'm only playing ARAMs until Skarner is good enough to take onto The Rift.  Or the rework that made him not viable is undone.

The rework made him not viable?  Doesn't he have like a 65% win rate atm?

 

Why yes, he does...

Hey man, that's not fair. They rolled back most of his nerfs (like, i dunno, making him the slowest melee character in the game) but still kept the consistency of his new W/E. The original crystal placements were also MUCH weaker (covered the wrong camps) and gave a lot less mana. THEN they also gave the crazy buff on his E that i don't understand.

Not to mention, immediately after the rework was posted, no one realized that maxing E > Q was going to be the way to do it since Skarner's identity has always been breaking the Q-key on your keyboard.

tomorrow morning = Chicago servers bby!

Easy buddy!  Was just poking a little fun at you and everyone else (myself included) who gets really excited when they see initial PBE changes that end up never going through.

Of course to be fair, sometimes they post overly complicated walls and walls of text describing fucked up reworks that actually do end up going through. Yeah, talking to you unbalance-able Kill Lane Morde.

Ekko, Tahm, Morde/Skarner rework... the let's put a lot of excessive crazy shit in every kit CertainT On Crack style of champ design that Riot seems to want to go with just doesn't feel good.  It's like... I don't even want to learn what these new champs do to play against them cause they're just so obnoxiously designed.  Just want to ban them all.

At least it's made me want to play this game a lot less so that's good!  Time for TGT.  When are we opening our packs?!

i've been waiting for you all day.

I'm done with cooking and stuff.  Be around when you're ready!

Looking forward to checking ping out after work - how'd you folks make out?  What were you and where'd you end up?

on Aug 25, 2015

wow.. from 88-120 ping - at 35ms.  Crazy difference - feels super crisp

Awesome!

So does this mean you're going to be looking to take ADC back on the Cow's Ranked Team?  Fine by me since the new servers feel far from 'crisp' for me so I might be better back at Support when you guys need me for a game.  

Are you going to make a push for Diamond this season now that your ping is good or do you want to wait for Ranked Rolebuilder next season so you don't have to fight for position with duos anymore?

You better answer my questions and start blogging again or Hedgie, Karl, Cow, and myself will be stealing this forum to talk about Hearthstone.  Here's what's in store for you if you don't start entertaining us again:

 

So I'm mixed on Justicar Trueheart for my Anivia Ramp Druid experiments last night.  With the Darnassus Aspirant, I don't need The Emperor anymore as much since I'm usually really trying to stabilize the board when I get to 6 mana since I'm running Nourish.  So I was trying JT out at the position next to Syl and just wasn't feeling it. Kinda thinking you need to be a Priest or Mage to really appreciate the ability upgrade but she was extremely useful at times.

Anivia's a blast.  Being about to lose and then throwing her down with Alex, AoW, and Kel feels damn good... but is probably a more fun than effective strategy.  

Looking to try a Dragon Druid deck soon but I'm all outta dust right now.

Hows your guys Hearthstone experiences going so far with TGT?  Feel free to share all you want!  Pacov only posts snippets he cut and pasted from Surrender@20 and the occasional music video, so I doubt he'd mind.
