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.

Well I just mystery gifted two people legendaries so it might be possible?

Cow won himself a nice forecast janna.

I had some internet problems tonight I hope everyone wasn't waiting for me for games. I hopefully will have access tomorrow so maybe finish the series then?

Going to try out asension later today if its still up on PBE.  I'm still thinking it will turn into a game mode similar to that of dominion for me (eg something I play a few times and am over), but looking forward to trying something new.

Really been enjoying working on my adcs lately.  Super dig lucian again.  Anyway, fun games for the most part last night.  Was glad I got a chance to play with those of you that I did. 

cow finally got a legendary mystery gift (forecast janna) and mystery gifted me pulsefire ez. 

 

Oh - and I did take a look at ascension.  I think it has good potential to be fun.  I only had time for a quick putzing around in a custom game, though.

So, its on dominion, but log of war is kind of crazy.  You can't return to your base.  Your trinket tps you to one of platforms so you can access the map.  Xerath is at the middle of the map and scales in power as you level (or just over time).  Xerath is reasonably strong.  I think the fun in trying to take him out is in you fighting against him at the same time as against other people, etc.   Whoever kills xer becomes ascended and becomes larger in size and gets a bunch of stat bonuses - but you are visibile to everyone on the map - even if you are in a bush.  I THINK everyone tries to kill you at this point, but I don't know for sure.  I believe the person with the most points wins, but am not sure.  Need to play it out with folks on PBE to learn more. Fun concepts imo, tho

Well, yesterday was a day of poop ranked games for me.  1st - I played kind of smeh.  Nothing all that great about anything I did.  My team handicapped the crap out of ourselves in game 1.  I wasn't even remotely surprised that we had a problem.  My teams 1st 2 picks are jinx and nunu at jungle.  My team then decides to go malphite top and j4 mid.  No tp.  I don't even kind of know why folks chose those picks.  Our 3rd pick calls mid as j4 and is up against a vel'koz of all things.  He just gets lit up.  Anyway, I do what I can, our bot does their best, but I really think the phone head top/mid decisions cost us and no tp meant no split push or tp ults on malphite that could have swung the game.

Game 2 I just get carried.  Yasuo mid.  I guarantee everyone on the enemy team requested a yasuo ban the next game. 

Game 3 - well, I don't even know.  We get into the same situation where bot lane has to carry or its gg.  We get a mid swain that is pretty awful, a shen top, and a rammus jungle. Again, another comp that's decent for protecting the adc, but not a heck of alot else if the mid falls behind (he did... at champ select.. with his runes).  Kind of my fault for not taking top lane, though.  I could have rolled with that but wanted to play support.  This resulted in a shen top (which I would never have done due to rammus/swain picks). Anyway, I have a so so game, but really leaning towards mediocre in all games with some pretty sloppy play.  Really just wanted to adc and carry.

Got to play adc in a norm after that and just crushed it.  Last game of the night was lagging out.  Restarted client and that sorted it, but that after we gave a dbl kill bot lane. We still were in it and could have come back but things never quite fell into place.  I played ok, but not amazing, my support opted to not buy some wards and chose items instead at a critical time, and I kept getting assists.  I def could have played better.  Was super happy to at least have 1 game where i crushed things though.  Rough night over all.  Flunked out of gold I promos.

yay... we qualified for our series again eh

prob be getting on a bit later than normal tonight. 

Guys - please let cow know your schedules.  He has a girlfriend now and needs to plan his entire life around her whims.  huehuehue

Hey, I just saw this post and if anyone is interested I would love to join people for some league if they wanted.

on Sep 04, 2014

Ehhhh... If you had a totally awesome Tom Servo avatar that would be one thing... but... yeah... Crow?  Eh... maybe...

You have the same IGN Raynman?  Mine's spelled a little different, it's Thundercleese.  Or Thündercles if you're somewhat new to the game and want to play with me and my Bronze buddies on a lower MMR account.  Or maybe you're former pro top laner The Rainman and we'd need to play with your smurf account?

I used to play quite a bit, but then took a break, I believe my summoners is DuderNerdRage. I stream also but i didn't want to just drop the link unless that was chill.

on Sep 04, 2014

What is your skill level in LoL Raynman? We have some people on our current 5's team roster I wouldn't mind replacing for more active players. We are in need of mostly top/botlane players.

It would be nice to have a dedicated night for ranked 5's. I know this is hard to do but my life is going to get a little more busy with a GF, studying for taking the GRE again, and I also have IRL friends that I have started hanging out with more. If you can post times when you are available that would be great. I am free almost any night unless I make plans with people. 

on Sep 04, 2014

Off the top of my head, Sunday nights might be best for a dedicated night.  Dan said he was free on weekends, and we tend to have good numbers then anyway.

Ahhh!  I just got back on the team and you're going to kick me off again?  I would think that comedy that comes from Pacov's hatred of me playing Thresh with him bot lane would alone be worth having me on the team.
