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.

I'm not having fun in preseason either.

Was beating a Tristana in lane before playing with you guys, but then started dying cause Firecannon/Shiv is so much fun to play against.

Think I'm just gonna take this opportunity to play some champs that I've never bothered to learn.

And to help me with my mission I'm gonna be using Leagueofgraphs.com.  Like it a lot better than Probuilds and Champion.GG right now.  You can see multiple builds and the win percentage of individual items.  You can even spectate replays of top players easily...

If you guys knew about this website and didn't tell me about it, y'all are dicks.

I don't really use websites. I watch a lot of streams and lcs so that's probably where most of my build knowledge comes from.

Also I won't be on league for 4 or 5 days... There was a death in the family so I have to travel to attend the funeral.

People have been using something other than leagueofgraphs these last few months?

Can't believe you kept that from me Karl.  Thought we were... well, whatever.  For revenge I'm going to start a drinking game kalled Things That Annoy Karl.

You take a drink when:

- DanKnee refuses to leash for Karl.

- Pacov tries to get Karl to buy all the team's Support items for him.

- Karl has to explain to someone that pushing your lane when losing it is not a good thing.

- Someone fails to follow up on a Karl gank.

- Someone initiates before Karl is ready to gank.

Sorry to hear that Cow!  Hope it wasn't someone you were close to.

Adding on - there should be like some sort of bonus round where I teach karl how to jungle and his head explodes. We'll call that the boaz gonna solo vs 2 using vlad rule.  If we ever allow that, I immediately start to lecture karl about his jungling. 

 

ANYWAY - had so much more fun tonight vs last night anyway.  Played like crap as top lane though  Really bad decision making on when to come group to help out.  Not sure what my prob is, but I'm super tunneling in on tping when there is no positional advantage.  I think I'm missing good ops but my brain is way over compensating for the TP changes.

The Karl can't understand why Boaz doesn't like having to 1v1 after asking to 1v2 drinking rule... can't believe I missed it!  And yeah, we gotta just all shotgun a beer or something if that happens again.

According to some high level players, you're not imagining anything.  The TP changes made a big difference.  In Diamond plus games, 40 percent of people are going Ignite on Irelia and it has a higher win percentage than Teleport right now.

Here's a quote from that Challenger guy on Reddit where he explains why Sona is good again:

"First- tp is pretty much rip. Or at least- tp is now substantially more difficult to use because if you are not tping back to lane you are going to lose lane hard, if you do tp to lane the windows for tp plays bot is very short. As a result bot lane is not a 5v5 anymore. Or at least the 2v2 is a lot more of a thing."
