Oh hey. Team builder is out in NA for testing. Time to get off Osu. LOL
I'm pretty sure that's their intention after beta, but right now it's being treated as a completely new queue type which means it's not going off your normal MMR.BrokenArrow wrote:
Hmm that's weird because Riot stated that Team Builder will siimply use your normal MMR for Team Builder.
But I guess the system can be abused if someone makes the effort to LoLking every single person to get a perfect team together, right?

Not pretty bullshit, I'd call it complete bullshit. You can't blame a loss because a carry didn't carry. Everybody contributes to a win or a lose. People should accept that.TKiller wrote:
I know people like saying stuff that "if you didn't win, you didn't carry enough" that is often pretty bullshit.
This, I hate it when people in my team try to surrend min 20 just because of the enemy's little advantage. I know they're not even gonna try and they'll just let the enemy team widen itVulf wrote:
You have people who just don't want to win so you have very little control over the outcome to some games because of that. Honestly telling someone they didn't win because they didn't carry hard enough is kinda BM.

What makes it even sadder is that AHQ Korea was ridiculously talented team and Promise might have been considered a top tier AD carry today if their manager wasn't a douchebag. Everything he worked for got destroyed for nothing.tyrael6192 wrote:

Also this is getting really out of hand, 14 out of my 20 last games I was either last pick or 4th pick (which is the same on red side). Seriously fuck this.
I'm really pissed at the moment. Not only do I have to bother all this retarded school stuff 12 hours a day which I will never need in my life anyways and then I get home and with the little time I have I straight up lose 5 games in a row because I have to support basically all the time.
Brb watching porn instead. Fuck this game.
What's also sad is that his father abandoned him and his family when he was 15 years old in a house with no heating and basically no food. Bascially League progaming was all that he had left and the coach fucked that up.Sankaritarina wrote:

As of right now, within Korean, about 300 people have donated and the bank account shows that we have collected 8,943,915 KRW (about $8400 USD)original source: http://www.inven.co.kr/board/powerbbs.php?come_idx=2653&query=view&p=1&my=&category=&sort=PID&orderby=&where=&name=&subject=&content=&keyword=&sterm=&iskin=&mskin=&l=7266651
We are still receiving donations and so I'm sure the total amount is a bit more than what we have reported here.
Additionally, it is incredible that many foreign fans have also participated in this event.
Famous LoL commentator MonteCristo let us know that many from overseas wanted to help as well, so we created a Paypal account and so far, over 700 people have participated.
As of right now, as we write this article, we can report that $11,992.17 USD (after Paypal fees) has been collected, which is about 12,850,000 KRW.
Gambit is not overrated. CJ Frost is probably the only team in the world that has better record on international turnaments (not counting teams that took part in one international tournament like SKT T1 K). Gambit hype on events like IEM is based on facts and stats.Vulf wrote:

He purposely gets himself in Bronze 5 while he probably is someone from diamond 1. He duo's with someone for money, and carries the person he's duo-ing with. He avoids winning his promo's by playing garen and/or nunu and feeding hard.BrokenArrow wrote:

Last time I checked he duo'ed with someone named "WeLoveYouTeoLite" and he was silver 3. He's now gold 5 lol

Also it could still be the fact that I still think Alex Ich is one of the biggest douches out there after what he did back in season 2 that influences that opinion.
He's at his best when enemy team is low on jump skills. Level one is still very deceptive and most players still can get baited by red pot. If you're planning a level one kill top lane, try to kill 1-2 minions of the enemy wave and not lose any of yours for the best results. His E is a massive buff for teams that need movement and autoattacking. Don't get baited by Q bonus gold, don't freeze the lane when you can roam and do something with your team or harass an opponent who's low on hp regen/lifesteal. His most efficient builds in my opnion are full damage (Shiv is one the best items for GP damage builds I highly recommend it) and high armor tank disruptor. Therefore I wouldn't recommend him against teams heavy on magic burst.Justykanna wrote:

Soloq support GP is quite okay when you got a pick that can utilise your E buff well. If you're winning your lane and your adc is an okay guy, you can go for double Shiv rush.
That's all I can think of from the get-go.

It's in the same boat as the Warwick rework. "It's done when it's ready". So it can be next month or next year before it's finished.
I use it to harass if I'm not having great difficulty farming with my auto attack - which doesn't happen terribly often. I watch my mana regardless.AnegoHC wrote:

If you play against someone who can sustain like hell (Aatrox for example) your q wont do much early
If you play against someone who cant sustain (Darius for example) you can try to safe harass them
If you play against someone who can block or absorb your q (Malph/Shen/Panth) Its just nonsense using your q

it's hard to give general advice on how to play a champion for top especially as it's one of the most volatile lanes that can be changed completely based just off what champion matchup you have or if your jungler/their jungler is competent. you can tell people how to play a champion (give advice) generally on how to play the champion but if you get a weird matchup then the way you have to play it is completely changed.Justykanna wrote:

I know Tiamat's not bad but... first build?
I see more than five champions top these days (don't forget my rank is reasonably low at Silver) but just because champions are 'in' the meta, it doesn't mean I like them. I wanna play the champions I like, not necessarily the ones that are loved within the meta. Gangplank's my favourite and there's a reason I'm asking people for help - as I said before.

Agreed. I've been completely leaving Gangplank out of action until I could get some advice on him.Zeraph wrote:

Yup, I've been good at the above points for the most part. I'm a passive player by nature, so playing it safe comes easy to me. Only problem is I use Gangplank as a damage dealer, not really a tank, so sometimes I should probably be more aggressive than I am.Zeraph wrote:
try only to use your q to last hit minions that are too risky to try to take when it's too risky.(you're somewhat low hp, they can kill you in a rotation+ignite) generally just play it safe, gangplank scales well into the midgame and drops down in the late game but makes up for it somewhat with utility coming from a massive aoe slow, single target slows with passive+q, and a team buff with W. when you're going into teamfights try to use the ulti a little further away from the team to block off exit paths rather than directly on top of them as you do lose damage potential by placing it right on top of them as a few of them will be able to run out easily because they won't have to walk into it and rather will be out on the edges of it.
I never actually thought of that. I'll keep that in mind.Zeraph wrote:
try not to use your e immediately as you get hit by your first cc but a little bit later so you can maybe avoid that one crucial cc to getting a kill or assisting towards getting a kill.
I actually haven't laned against any of those four except for one Gragas all season (though, Gragas and Akali are melee).Glass wrote:
