  • 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.

Ive been having a fun time playing the Ice Queen Sejuani. Ive been finding it easy to lane with rather it be top or mid.  Against some champs its hard at first but it doesnt take much gold to get strong with her.  I saw out of all of us i have the highest win %.  Haha thats all with sejuani!

fun fact - you can be a member of up to 3 clubs (owning 1, a member of 2 others or just a member of 3).  You can choose which tag you want to show.  Main benefit of clubs is persistent chat (functions like this forum - just smaller posts).

O no not the Teemo top!

I don't know bouche! I have a 78.9 percent winnrate as brand in ranked this season.

played exactly 3 games with boaz on my main - demoted instantly to plat IV.  

Actually kind of weird, jokes aside.  I hit plat 3 - think I played like 1-3 games total - 2 win 1 loss... something like that.  Tonight i fire it back up, get exactly 3 losses in a row.  Instant demote to plat IV.  Kind of weird.  Not sure why though.  Maybe mmr was low... but still.  I was playing a bunch solo on my main - not influenced by lower gold folks etc... yet pretty severe.  Guess I don't super care, but it kind of blew.  Back on my main though for a bit now I think - no more silvers with folks I'm playing w and I already did all the OCD stuff for chests on my alt.  Oh... did get promoted to plat on my alt.  dodged 2 matches of my promo series... then was like fug it - play on alt for fun - prob not keeping it lower mmr so I just need to tough it out and get good in other roles.  

Night all!  Happy St Pats

Yeah any sort of loss streak when you are at zero LP is dangerous. I demoted out of Diamond III back to 4 last season like that. That is kind of when I gave up on climbing. I also demoted back to diamond V several times in similar situations. I know Dan had a lot of demotions and promotions last season as well. 

on Mar 18, 2016

Yeah - guessing its a lot mmr then.  Just never had experienced before.  Sitting at 95lp in plat 4, so hopefully i can get demoted to gold 1 tonight.  

 

The adventures of hypee leona with heal and fervor of battle jhin.  Probably going to do a series.  Poor soupcup though.  hypee (not boozed at all on St Pats day I'm sure) leona just leaves lane when she gets bored.  But she likes to party.  If there's a throw down to be had, let's go. I think I'll try to be a smidge more support oriented next time...  .  

Anyway, looking forward to nerding later and not getting any key shards.  

Rito spells out exactly that you can get key shards on ARAMs.  Everyone I've asked and talked to about it except for 1 goof, says they haven't gotten a single shard there.  Which makes me think the one goof is wrong.  Unless one of you gets a key shard there, I'm just going to not bother with aram with my crafting goals

on Mar 18, 2016

Well - looks like I was right - rito confirms that if champion mastery isn't enabled for a queue, then there are no loot drops.  They did say that champion mastery is in development for ARAM at least.  So, bottom line, no key drops for now... unless something is wrong.

They indicated that the rotating game mode queue has been prioritized for champion mastery 1st, then they are looking to do twisted tree line and ARAM potentially at the same time.  I'm guessing they are trying to decide and then implement what the regards system should be like, etc.

Updated listing

  • super king pacov - plat IV 95lp (down from P3), pacov Plat V (up from G1)
  • Cow - d4
  • karl - gold 4 
  • soupcup (been playing a bunch w/ him lately - madcast fella) - gold 1 90lp
  • boaz (the bouche) - gold 4 (up from g5)
  • swan (sultan of swan) - in placement
  • bryff - gold 4 (up from gold 5)
  • hunnybadger - gold 3 (up from g4)

Guessing soup will hit plat tonight if he plays.

So... I had a really bad night playing league... started with trollcov, hunny, and the bouche... and that was ok... but i played more and every single game (besides one where i was adc) i had the worst teammates or team comp possible. That being said... i'm 1-8 in placements and it's whatever... i don't care too much, but I'm just wondering if you dodge during champ select is it still considered a loss like it used to? I had almost the same terrible AD team comps twice in a row last night (xin jungle, yi/trynd top, yasuo mid, jin/kog adc, and I was leona both games), and I would have dodged if I wasn't going to get a loss out of it. Enlighten me if it's still penalized or not.

So what happened to the honor system? I ran into the first person I have seen with a ribbon in months the other day. It is a pretty cool system. I wish Riot would make a post about or something to get people back into honoring. I usually honor teammates whenever I win a game in ranked. 

on Mar 21, 2016

IDK re: the honor system.  Seems like it needs reworked and its kind of wonky.  For instance, as I understood it, folks like you that would give out honor often have less value in their feedback than if someone only gave it out once in awhile... and the weight of your honor vote means less if other folks report the same fellas, etc.  And some could get honor ribbons early on if their pals just spammed hooked each other up.  

What I really think they should do is create an MVP system.  That fells good anyway.  

 

Let's see... I've been demoted twice now.  Currently in a series to undo one of those demotions.  Games have been feeling more difficult here and there.  Also decided my leona needs some work.

I hope it's revised some time this year. It was another fun thing to try to achieve but now feels impossible to get. Mao's winnrate is super low So maybe it's just me but I am like 7-0 with him in ranked and I have never felt like I have lost lane yet (had some rough games from getting ganked but nothing where I was completely useless or unable to 1v1 the other top laner).

 

The more and more I play top the more I feel like Sunfire cap is extremely strong. Check it out if you haven't been building it lately.

on Mar 21, 2016

I think mao is just you.  I don't think he's particularly strong, but if you use him well, that's just another tank that provides cc - and dmg reduction.
