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.

Another PSA for folks.  Just decided to use this again. It's a LoL page sorter.  It enables you to move your rune and mastery pages (sort them or copy others if you want).  Takes about 2 minutes to setup.  Instructions here.  Still works (used it before and just used it now).

4k in LoL is still trash.  Not playable, but they did fix one of the 4k issues (HUD font scaling).  Still the tiny health bar issue that renders it unusable .

OK - so here's what I think is currently the best in game stat tool around.  Worth a look.

http://www.soloq.gg/

you use it 2 ways.  1 - when you hit the lobby, copy the names (x player joined the room) and paste them into the multi search tab.  This pulls stats so you have an idea of what you have in the lobby.  Once the load screen pops up, hit lookup live game.  It loads a TON of good stats in a very nice interface.  Seems really well done and I think its worth a look.

 

Ranked stuff - I'm 1 and 1.  Both games were kind of a mess.  

  • Game 1 - we have a nice late game comp (amumu/malph/zyra), so Aoe doom pretty much.  Early/mid its a bit of a stomp in the enemy teams favor.  Many well coordinated rotations resulting in 4 man dives, etc. Poor responses from our team and folks just doing some derpy going to go die by myself things. Late game we run 3 back to back aces nd put the game way.  Very rough. One annoying shite ffing over and over that fed the crap out of his lane, but our comp just had too much lockdown and damage late, so we put em away. Yasuos tend to like malph/zyra ults as well.  
  • Game 2 - dynamic queue officially fugs me.  We have a 3 man pre including an intentional feeder and some pretty low skill level folks vs a rengar and some folks with decent skill levels. My adc is pussy.  I set him up for about 3 kills where he only had to do 100 dmg period, but did crap.  He fed and then went afk for the last 15 minutes of the game.  My jungler was a feeding graves that spammed flash every time it was up for giggles and spent the majority of his time feeding and talking to the other team in all chat.  And our other lanes did not do so hot.  Anyway, 1 intentional feeding troll and 1 shitbox that afks for 15 minutes.  No idea why I ended up in game with the shitters, but I did.  Boo.

So... udyr currently has the highest win rate?  at 55.6%

on Jan 29, 2016

There are so many epic hard counters, I'm more annoyed at how utterly hosed people are based on pick order, not so much overall win rate...

on Jan 29, 2016

I'm trying to figure out why udyr has bumped up.  Doesn't make much sense to me.  It appears as if the most common build is devourer phoenix.  Very high dmg output without ap... but that's nothing new.

Well, most champs don't have high durability and an on hit ability kit, including a stun, to go with it.  He's one of the best split pushers, excels at pursuit, and with those two items, will dish out horrendous damage as he procs huge bonuses from phoenix and tiger stance.

Gold III.  Still too high elo to play ranked w/ hunny.  

 

trying out blade and soul today

on Jan 30, 2016

What's the difference between peter and hunny?

 

Peter has high enough elo that I can invite him to a ranked game.

gold II cov

on Jan 31, 2016

in promos now for gold I.

So far i'm digging my win rate as support in s6 ranked. 75% (16 games w/ zyra, 4 w morg).  Good stuff.  And folks seem to be more relaxed about elo and just having fun climbing so far w/ dynamic.

Jhin is out now. Thankfully these 5 man games give ludicrous ip atm, 519 for a 33 minute win.

on Feb 01, 2016

What's that?  1 less ban available in ranked?  Looking forward to see how that pans out.  On my alt account when I was spamming a few weeks back, I think I got 1k IP for 1 game and then 860 ip a pop or so.  Account had some IP boosts from rito from awhile back.
