  • 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.

Go big or go sejauni

enjoying some karma support with the mastery thing that gives u stronger shields, etc.  Not sure if that's optimal.  Feels pretty decent though.

on Nov 25, 2015

Did I imagine they nerfed the healing mastery (keystone)?

on Nov 26, 2015

happy thanksgiving all!

Hope everyone had/is having a good holiday.

So, this is the type of stuff i love.  Super in depth coaching with high elo folks.  Hearing the questions the high elo folks ask along with the answers.  

This particular video is dated, but it is incredibly good for a discussion and getting better at morg as support.  Huge focus on early game decision making, properly reacting to a leona engage if your BS is down, etc.  Its really good and I highly recommend if you are looking to improve as a support.  This is a challenger elo support main playing morgana getting coaching.  

 

If you want to get a really good idea what this video is about without watching it all, skip to 11:35 and watch for a min or so.  It gives a full break down of positioning and probabilities for the support interaction after a leona snare is landed.

I mean, how many people are really practice in playing against Swain right now?

I did pretty poorly against that Nasus Top the other day cause I didn't take Teleport but aside from that I've been doing pretty well with Swain.  He's extremely anti AD so in the Lucian Mid, Lucian Bot, Graves In The Fucking Jungle??? Marksmen Fucking Everywhere Meta he's been pretty useful when I've had to go Mid.

Hopefully they don't take him down too hard but honestly a one point wonder AOE two second snare is not fun to play against.  Deathfire and the AD Meta is a lot of his OPness but he did get some Mastery buffs that help him CS so I'm hopeful they're just adjusting for that and realize that it's also a very favorable meta for him.

Should just nerf the Deathfire Grasp mastery \: A lot simpler than nerfing everyone who uses the mastery "too well". Plus, didn't they just nerf it? Or are nerfing it?

PBE changes only.  I don't know what they mean.  Happy Thanksgiving!

  • [Damage changed]
    • Base Damage changed to [8 + 50% bonus AD & 20% AP over 4 seconds] from [6 + 50% bonus AD & 20% AP over 3 seconds]
  • [Duration changed]
    • Burn Duration for Single target increased to 4 seconds from 3 seconds.
    • Burn Duration for AoE increased to 2 seconds from 1.5 seconds
    • Burn Duration for damage over time decreased to 1 second from  1.5 seconds.
on Nov 27, 2015

It's still special ed mastery design then, they have to reduce the burn rate for DOT's, changing the duration does nothing.

So I've been playing around a bit with the %hp runes.  I think you can actually legitimately get away with running them on sej.  Our resident sej main is really digging the setup.  

When theory crafting, it starts with the hmmm dumb number stats- in her case a max of around 6.8k.  Not a practical IG number, but its out there.  Strength of ages feels incredibly good.  It's instant sustain of 20 HP per camp, so it helps a bunch on early clear hp.  She can clear without any problem and then reclear/gank easily.

#2 zyra in the world - jungle zyra.  Jungle zyra is prob dumb, but good player = worth looking into/reading

https://www.reddit.com/r/summonerschool/comments/3unni4/you_asked_i_deliver_melyns_preseason_6_zyra/

 

I enjoy reading up on crap like this.  I always start with the premise its just a PDT playing malz, but then I also get that even mr P has some good tips on how to play his main that i don't know.  Sub par ganks on zyra = why I wouldn't take.  She probably has easy clears now, though.  

on Nov 29, 2015

Sub par ganks?  There are definitely better single target gankers, but she's top shelf for bot lane.  You have to flash to avoid dying unless someone pooches their skill shot.  They either back up to avoid getting snared, and still get slowed, or they got snared to begin with, in either case, your ultimate dropping in will absolutely ruin a 3v2.  Her biggest problem really is people going on tilt because you picked her.  I rarely bother with it myself, even though I almost always win.  It's just too likely someone will queue dodge first.

Very true.

But now there is  a guide that proves that it can be effective has been posted by a D1 player on Reddit.  Ironically quite a few people who would have tilted/dodged in games that they got 'stuck' with a Zyra Jungle yesterday, will themselves be playing her today.

Such is life on The Rift.

on Nov 29, 2015

She's super hard too, so they'll all suck.

on Dec 01, 2015

After the Marksman changes I can't get over playing MF. She feels the least clunky out of all the ADCs I played pre-rework ~_~. (Looking at you Caitlyn).
