i gots a story!

My team: AD kennen (me, top lane!), Veigar, Shaco, Nami, and Kog

VS

Enemy team: Darius, Amumu, Diana, Taric, Graves

Our squishy team won!!! I whooped Darius in lane hardcore. And somehow we won team fights with being all squishy!

ooh can i has story

i remember i was eve mid and we had lee sin jungle and a vayne bot. i was against a syndra.

lee feeds hard and does so much dumb stuff. he feeds to mid and i die a lot too because when i went for a gank while he was watching my lane he didn't do anything, and then when he realized he was supposed to do something he came in too late and died as well. 0/6 lee to start.

so now we had something like 8/0/2 syndra and they were rolling us

i think i ganked bot once because middle was a lost cause, vayne gets a little fed off of botlane... and we start mounting a comeback.

somehow a switch flipped and we just rolled the other team midgame and their syndra started cursing the team in allchat, calling them dumb, etc.

our lee was like "i started 0-6 in lane and my team didn't call me out for being stupid"

and somehow
i was really angry. that guy, man. lol

I've been rolling with Taric lately. Playing a support is really awesome now with the items since you're not pigeonholed into buying the same items every game. Last night i tried jungle Skarner for something different, still managed to win since we had a smart Blitz who would immediately drop a pink ward for against Akali. I would ult her, then the last night I realized it was Lee Sin who was causing problems, so I ulted him. We managed to win despite a braindead TF who didn't call mias or follow mid when they would counter-gank.

I tried jungle Xin, first time I've jungled with him or played him in ages period. Actually managed to win that game mostly b/c their Fiddle left (everyone but me had lag).

It's obvious now that playing a champion with hard CC makes it hard to lose.

Got the new Kat skin. It's not that impressive, but at least it's something new. Now I only have like 385 RP or something though :/

You can use it on one of the legacy skins, maybe? They will be on sale in January. The Kat skin isn't that bad. Kat did deserve a new one so I guess she got it. The new Nidaee model looks great! R.I.P square feet.

Loving Nami. She has a lot of utility and her bubble is amazing in lane.

I'd really like the next Lux skin, cause you know, shes about all I ever play. But it'll be expensive.

The one where she's in plate armor? i think it looks kinda dumb.


I had 2 sucky games today. Went Shen top and got wrecked by Jayce. Next game I went Malphite top and got wrecked by Shen, probably the one match-up where Malphite can't get a kill simply by outsurviving. I did have a good ult early. The Shen ulted to save bot, so I ulted him to stop it. Also lost a game where I was Taric and the other team's bot was Anivia and Teemo.

They should do a Lux skin for 4th of July where she throws fireworks

chinese sivir splash art looks amazing




man she totally needs a model remake. more than scrubby people like master yi. stupid master yi.

Almost all the Chinese art is 1000x better. Theres like one or two of them that sucks though

I just started playing recently with my cousins and their friends. Is it just us or is the matchmaking terrible?

Had a game where our Vi derped smite on Baron and the enemy Eve just walked in and stole it. 4 of us died and the enemy team took out some turrets and an inhib. Then when Baron was back up, they went for it. I was playing Graves and went behind it. They were harassing me but I somehow managed to steal it with just my Q. I just used that to hit them back but it killed Baron, used my ult on them anyway which worked out well since I got a couple assists out of that.

Got Baron again later and just pushed and had a team fight. But we definitely would have lost if we didn't get Baron when I stole it

Solo Que.
Team demands I go top.

"OMG GG NOOB WHY WOULD YOU PICK THAT"
No one dodges.

I'm against Gangplank.
I win and turn around every other lane with ganks.
+Honorable opponent and teamwork points all around.

Me and my cousins are pretty good gamers. We're pretty competitive and the majority of games we play we usually win in with a good-to-great ratio. We were also pretty good at DotA. Certainly not pro-lvl competition (I don't think) but we won most games we played as far as pubs are concerned. So with that said we jump into LoL games and it feels like we're playing against smurfs and/or we always get the player that feeds. I'm sure it was also us getting used to playing against/with champs we don't understand and getting the feel of the game but to me there's no way we should be going 1-2 wins every 10 games. At least that was how it felt when we just started. Now it's a lot better at lv12+.

i think there's a lot of noobstomping stuff in league (think riki/SA from dota).

the other thing is that if you have a stack, you get matched up with other stacks. so if you have a group of 3, they try to pair you against a team that has another group of 3.

lastly is that there is always an mmr, even in normals, so you tend to play against people matched up similar to your skill level, and starting out it is actually really volatile but eventually it will even out.

So after saying it got better I lost 10-12 games in a row (with and without a group) and when I should have gotten one win I got the sitting reconnect error and couldn't rejoin after quitting out. If it wasn't for an angry join to a new match when I should have gotten off I would have missed a 8/6/27 King Rammus game. Goddamn MOBA games are so easy to hate and so easy to love.

Yeah matchmaking is usually terrible, speaking from a 3's stand point anyway.

I randomly decide to try playing this game occasionally and always get amazingly shit games.

Just had one where we kept getting dove bot by Nunu, EZ, and Sona. Like, four times in a row just dove on. We ask Udyr for a gank (who has yet to come bottom) and he says "nah". I'm just like "whatever dude, keep ganking your buddies lane over and over rather than the one being camped. Its not like a fed EZ is going to be a problem". He responds "Dont worry, I'm getting Anivia fed (3-2) she carries hard late".

We lost because of the fed EZ.

when i jungle, i gank based on opportunity. a lot of times when top dies twice and then asks me to gank, there's a high chance that the opponent top laner will 1v2 us. usually i look at gank opportunities based on the position of the creep wave and the health of both laners.

bot lane is especially hard to gank if you don't tell me where the wards are. pinking is more important with sightstone in play.

the only thing that annoys me is when i am pushed to tower a lot in early game and our jungler doesn't do anything about it. it's practically free kills.
