I also like the changes in the jungle. I've been playing fiddle / xin a lot more now.

trash confirmed redonkulously retarded
broken/10 banevrygam

Really? I think the new jungle is terrible (been jungling since season 1). Season 3 jungle is basically season 1 jungle with the gold starvation season 2 had. This is awful.

I think they should bring back season 1 jungle with machete and there we go.

How so ? From what I understood they increased the amount of gold you get from the camps, plus the increase in gold per minute.

The ambient gold increase was directed toward support mostly. You get an extra 30 gold per jungle clear compared to season 2, but the camps spawn less often and most of that gold was shifted to out of the way camps like golems. Support junglers (Amumu, Maokai) are still by far dominate over anything else.

Oracles nerf and sightstone make it nearly impossible to gank unless your shaco. If your low level/elo then you can ignore this. In my games both top laners start with a ward nearly every game since boots are not mandatory to start with anymore.

First game vs human on a playable computer in over 8 months
I got several triple kills when we got ganked, I wish I had the replay saved

oh and it was the first time ever I played MF

MF its too op.... try it with zyra ^^ that both ultis on a teamfight is so crazy, though now on tournaments you can see so much nunu+cait or lulu+cait

Yep black cleaver mf is pretty strong, because her ultimate procs it everytime it damages. Love that item.

Don't worry. Her ultimate will deal magic damage next patch and The Black Cleaver will shred 5% armor per stack (up to 5).

We're going to buff Trinity Force by reducing recipe price to 3 Gold.

I'm looking forward to your questions!

Hey Phreak is Corki going to get a buff? I think he needs to start every game with a trinity force for tons of damage.

Corki used to be one of three most picked AD Carry. There's no point in "balancing" him.

Someone can explain me the IEM at Brazil? btw I saw a game between pain and next or like that and was really nice, I didnt expect that much!!

It is, who win the IEM on Brazil win a prize and qualifies for WHAT, for the world's IEM or what??

@↑: you see that this is confusing, isnt it?

there are several IEMs across the world. if u win a previous one you are automatically qualified for the next one. else, there are always qualifiers. most of the times there are 4-6 teams from the region where the current IEM is held at and then some foreign teams who qualified through online qualifier. if you win, you get some money.


edit: where'd u guys end up btw? got into plat div III with 19-6 currently. I think I'm #8 right now in my division.

I got gold in S2 and I haven't played a single ranked game after the ELO reset(which put me at 1.4k)... does it mean that I'll be playing with 1.2k elo ppl in my placement matches since my profile is basically "clean"?

When i queued up i was with people around my elo that were also doing their placements.

is this ok for thresh?

I would bang plantbutt

Average day as support master yi.

When you are playing for upgrade division you have to win 3 of 5, niceeee!!

isn't it 2 out of 3?

2 of 3 if you upgrade division V TO IV, IV to III etc, but 3 of 5 if you upgrade from Silver to Gold etc

ahh, gotcha

lux 2 mushrooms or 1 Q + AA

vayne Q+2 AA or Q+1AA+ ignite

hhhhhhhh

sigh, ive been getting the worst luck out of this new system. climbing back to gold is gunna take ages ._.

Floyd, what league did you start at? I started at Silver 1 and supposedly a lot of the leagues are glitched. You can lose your promotion matches and get demoted a league in my league. Or at least, so my friend has told me. I'm not doing any ranked until that (and this piece of shit graphics card that came broken) gets fixed

I was silver I yesterday. Back in placing.

I am "about" enter gold V , I have 100 points 2 W 2 L , if I win, I promote, if not I dont, this is the fucking 3rd time I have that promo, and always 3 L 2 W, this will be the same, meh

I know somewhat that feel. I played 4 times the promotion to Silver I :/

I guess everyone plays ranked nowadays. =O

I ended up dodging my first placement match because 3 people complained about me picking jungle Warwick. This new ranked system seems to have made ranked a whole hell of a lot more stressful than it needs to be. I'd rather just play normals and not care.

Nah i have 4000+ normal games (2200wins 1800 losses) if u count all my accounts, i just dick around a lot.
Ranked too try hard, i play once in a while to test myself but i never take it too seriously.

Also i don²t really get it, i was 1560 when preseason ended and it still put me in silver I, meh i don²t even care

The whole new ranking system seems to be causing some stress to friends of mine cause they took the ranking games more serious. I asked them why and they want to be better then everyone else, I never take this game serious at all and I won't be doing ranking games anytime soon.

Its been a while since I've played. What are the top ADC's and Supports nowadays?

How long are we talking? It's been more or less the same (with the exception of Nunu(nerfed pretty hard recently)/Cait/Miss Fortune becoming very popular recently) since finals. Ezreal is still #1 probably. Corki has been seeing less and less play since S3 started (the trin force cost reduction might help).

No idea how far you're talking and I can only really talk about the last 5 or 6 months

Ezreal focuses more on bursts of damage, and with the building of Trinity Force dying down, he is driven further and further away from this focus. Iceborn Gauntlet doesn't match Trinity Force's damage output; it's more of a utility item.

Thanks, and yeah I've been gone for that 5-6 month period.

Yes, the building of Trinity Force is dying down BECAUSE of Iceborn Gauntlet (and it cost so much, but it's like 300g less now) (on ezreal, anyways)

Iceborn Gauntlet is a great item on Ezreal -- it offers an AoE damage + slow to suit his pokey nature. I'm not sure what you're trying to say exactly -- do you think Ezreal isn't as good because Trinity Force is less favorable?

No no, Trinity Force is less popular because it got a really huge nerf on patch V1.0.0.152. However, people have yet to realize that for an extra 503 gold you get so much more damage output compared to Iceborn Gauntlet; 30 AD PLUS a bonus equal to 150% of your AD instead of 125% for just 500 gold? It's a steal! Perhaps I just don't consider Iceborn Gauntlet on Ezreal a good enough buy.

Yes, it was cost inefficient because of the nerfs. Phage takes ~forever~ to build now.

I'm not sure how long ago the price reduction on Trinity Force was (a week or two, perhaps? More?). People may be building it more often now, especially on Ezreal. However, Iceborn Gauntlet in combination with his Q is really nothing to mess around with, especially when poking under tower where everybody is pretty close together.

The main problem with Ezreal is that he doesn't get punished enough for mistakes made. Compared to Corki's escape, his blink is less mana and on a much lower cooldown as well (EDIT: It's actually has a lot more range, though. Not sure if this compensates or not. Also they lowered the mana costs (or are planning to) recently so perhaps he's really not that bad right now). He's super safe in lane and pretty hard to pull off a gank on a lot of the time if you catch him while his cooldowns are up.

Honestly though, I don't play AD/Support that much; however, I'm pretty sure Ezreal is the most popular AD Carry still in both low-level play and competitive play because not only is he easy to pick up, he's very rewarding if played well. Didn't he get nerfed in the last patch? Perhaps he'll start seeing less play now though I expect him still to be a pretty standard pick.

(70% unrelated to the topic at hand)

(buff corki for players like me who can't AD plzzz)

triforce has never been cost inefficient and will never be cost inefficient unless it is raised to 5000-5400 gold and even then i'd still buy it on a few characters

its stat distribution is basically a flat base upgrade to almost every single character stat and the extra 50% on spellblade proc and phage slow merged into one item makes it a fantastic buy on just about anyone. iceborn is nice, but much better on characters that can utilize the extra stats (gauntlet on malphite is a terrifying thing). don't be tricked into thinking the field slow deals damage when the field is initially placed - it doesn't, a lot of people seem to think it does

ezreal's escape is a small factor in what makes him so good, tbh. his passive is EXTREMELY good for an AD, possibly the best passive of all the AD carries since a 45% attack speed increase is a massive dps increase which can be maintained with very little effort on his part over the course of a teamfight. it's a natural flat power bonus to him that makes every purchase of AD on him worth more by default simply because he can use it better. couple this with essence flux still imparting a fairly potent slow, a free flash every 16 seconds, a global ultimate and a 1.55x attack range poke/farming ability and you get one of the most well-rounded attack skillsets that league has to offer

and to compensate for that he has mediocre base health and poor resist scaling - something shared with every other AD carry

AD ezreal has never been a poor pick even in the depths of his nerfs way back when, he was just a lot harder to pick up then. with the new itemization offering even greater offensive polarisation on him, he's super-viable now and they'd literally have to chuck a rengar on him to drop him down to a reasonable level. so they wont and instead will likely bring other AD carries up to his level with small changes as they have been doing

Screw ranked.

loljk I'm almost level 30. But in all honesty, I don't really plan to play ranked for a while, unless I'm going to be duo queueing with zerothefallen, or in a full team of five. Solo queue will never be my thing, for I will just awkwardly stare at people as they die around me and expect me to do something when I'm the only one alive out of a bad engagement.

fwiw, my summoner name is Meliin, both on PBE and NA

To the guy who asked about botlane:
#1 MF
#2 Ez, Cait
#3 The rest
^ can be argued obv, but I honestly feel like we have a new holy trinity. MF, Ez and Cait with MF having a slight edge. Sure, Graves is still fine for quick lvl 6 burst combo but thats p much it.

About Trinity Force and why it isn't that good anymore:
They recently reduced the recipe price to 3, which is a good step in the right direction but not the one Ez needed. What hurts most is the fact that Phage is so damn expensive now. 1465 g, which you could spend on a BF sword which is better for every AD. Well, you would have to farm 85 more but thats only one wave. I don't care about the 1 to 5 slow chance it gives Ez, I feel better off with a BF Sword than a Phage any day. Some people do start with the Sheen now when they go for Trinity which is ok. Sheen is still cheap, but you'd rely on hitting all your Qs. Else you wouldn't get much of it. Starting off with Zeal is just stupid anyway.
Imo there currently are 2 very good build for Ez:
1)Berserker's, Bloodthirster, Last Whisper, Statik Shiv, Infinity Edge and Warmogs.(Sell Boots for Zephyr when it gets to very late game)
2) Berserker's, Bloodthirster, Last Whisper, Gauntlet, Infinity Edge and Shiv. (I'd use that if I had to constantly kite)

I'm not level 30 yet either.
I *usually* play normal with four other people but since I got a job recently, I've been unable to join them.
I do like normal, even without them though. Just solo queueing kinda sucks when I'm used to be with four others in ventrilo.

For my last promotion game I got to play with Citizen(mid for Acer) and against Bob. Was a good game

I've never played ranked (and I'm not even level 30), so I could be wrong, but wouldn't ranked just mean you're playing for a rating?
In no way do League players need to be 'good' to start ranked, it's just about longevity.

what happens is people want to win so there's kind of an element of forced cooperation... you won't instalock quite as often because it just jeopardizes your chances of winning, and you won't go all out troll mode

but semi-repressing your urge to be a cunt isn't the same thing as being nice so tl;dr everyone is still a cunt

also my point is it's more noticeable in league (and therefore other moba games or team games) because you actually have to rely to an extent on the randoms you get matched with in order to win, as opposed to games that are ffa and such

Yeah, you do have to rely on randoms, so point taken.

Nope. This was posted on the NA forums last year. From what i remember it was a contest thing.

However, there is a new champion that's underway. I think it falls under the name of Quinn / Quin, assumed to be a Demacian counterpart of Swain. And an AD Carry. This is just what I heard, though.

Sure I occasionally enjoy 5s with close friends or people from the /v/ chat but solo queue is becoming fun for me as well. Every game with and against diamond players, couple of famous names here and there and the games are challenging and fun. Though there are known trolls which I try to avoid by dodging(you barely lose any LP) ranked solo is basically the place I go to improve while having fun.
