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.

re: thunders post - hey - whatever you find fun, bro.  Hope you've been enjoying playing it up with you other pals, though.

We have a blast joking around and it is undeniably fun in a way to be the best player in the game, however the frustration with teammates in games that I play with my one Bronze IV buddy are not worth it sometimes.  The other is getting really close to Silver so those games aren't nearly as bad.

One reason I didn't mention before is that I don't want to play Ranked 5's with you guys because of my lag situation.  It's gotten significantly better after altering the QoS on the router, but it still sucks.  

Not knowing when my bandwidth is going to take a dive has made me less likely to play in games with people who are more on the competitive side.  In Silonze games with my friends, I've still been able to carry hard as Swain during a laggy game and when I'm queuing up with MC's who don't grab Flash on Amumu, I feel less bad about having a poor performance y'know?

It's not just the Support position that I'm not as into anymore but League in general.  Not being able to play with people I know during prime hours, not knowing if I'm going to go from carrying my team to losing the game for them cause I start lagging during a crucial teamfight... just kinda saps your motivation to get better y'know?

But!

I'm moving into a new place in a few weeks where I'll have my own connection.  Got an appointment with the ISP and everything.  Love of LoL and Thresh should be restored at that point...

TSM TSM TSpacov's brain...

ok - so, I queued up with a gold V pal today.  I landed in the super crappy world of bronze - low gold.  All sides.  Normally, when I queue up, I'm against/with plat diamond. I assume his mmr, etc, brought crap down (he's host of games).  That said, seems really weird to take such a dip. BUT - all games were blind pick and I never really play that.

Does anyone know if blind pick has its own special queue and maybe the folks I got was related to me never playing that?

Different Queues = Different MMR system as far as I know.

on Aug 25, 2014

ok thx.

Played a bunch of team builder with nasus jungle.  872 stacks  last game of the night with 20.5k gold and 362 cs.  Fun is done for me for the night anyway.

Sugar rush starts tomorrow. 

on Aug 26, 2014

Sugar rush begins (not sure if live yet though).  Good time to pick up rp, though.
