League of Legends (Old)

Same here, sometimes it's really riot's servers to be honest.

Edit-Some champions cause that shit. like Noctournes frozen skin does it really bad, and there are issues with Malzahar as well.

Mhmm, Offhand does anyone know an IP for their servers in NA? I'd like to run an extended ping to their servers and tracert to see where I hit massive lag spikes.

Anyone know if I changed my DNS to say the one's google provides if that would help at all? (Looking at you, Chamber)

[GhostWriter]

I wish I could play with some of you guys, but my computer is so shitty, it lags all game, and freezes up at some of the worst times. Granted, I'm used to it and still win more than I lose, it does frustrate people.

Actually since the last patch I find this happening to me as well, my framerate will just drop out for a second or two and drop to like 20 fps and I'll get stutter, not sure what's going on as my GPU should be good enough to run this game with zero hiccups. Maybe I'll try installing the game to my SSD to see if that helps. (Radeon 5870 btw - in case anyone asks what my GPU is)

Yeah, it's worse now than it's ever been before. I can deal with my computer's general lag. I've been dealing with it since installing the game, and only found out I was lagging when I watched someone else play it on their computer. That doesn't effect me too much. But when my champ is moving 1-2 seconds after I click? No, something ain't right with that. And the freezes are happening mainly in teamfights now. It used to just be when the first inhib of the game blew up, or sometimes at the end of a match when the Nexus blew up, and wasn't important or too disruptive.

[Chronopie]

I used to have the same problem when Trundle ulted, the extra particles halved my framerate. Now it only ever happens on a Karthus Ult ,and still within playable levels.

[GhostWriter]

Yeah, that Ult does fuck things up a bit.

[MrZepher]

There's are programs that are available to run Windows INSIDE of the Mac OS.
The one I use is Parallels, which lets you run Windows programs as if they're native to Mac.

I've never actually tried it with LoL, but it works pretty well with plenty of other online and just regular games I've played.
It's not a terribly resource intensive program, but I don't think it'll run very well on some of the older Macbooks. Sorry Singer :\

It's a program that you would normally have to buy, but there are hacked version available that are recent enough.
I'll try getting the LoL client to run once the mac client is officially gone.

Does anyone else ever miss old ryze?

I used to like a champ where I could get a mejais and Leviathin and not do bad = (

[bv310]

The only thing I miss is Innervating Locket. I used to be a good Udyr, now I don't even know how to build him

[Ankamius]

It depends on if you're going Tiger Udyr or Phoenix Udyr.

[bv310]

Used to enjoy Phoenix Udyr, but I haven't played him in such a long time that I don't know which is more effective.

[Espeonage]

I'm starting to think I might be able to Garen out of my ELO.

[hitogoroshi]

The only thing I miss is Innervating Locket. I used to be a good Udyr, now I don't even know how to build him

I don't do tiger, but here's my phoenix udyr guide that works quite well

aspd reds, armor yellows, scaling mr blues, movespeed quints. 1-14-15, smite and ghost.

open with a regrowth pendant + hp pot. take a point in phoenix, start at little wolves, kill them without smite (proc phoenix a second time when the waves stop.) smite the big wraith, take a point in turtle, use turtle and phoenix to kill wraiths. then use turtle/phoenix to kill little golems. this should make you go oom. It's okay! go b. you should be 3 - take another point of phoenix.

finish your philo stone. (you'll need to sell your pot to get it when you b. that's intended. you sell the pot most games, it's there if you're counterjungled / forced to hold super early / etc.) Then, do a full clear, starting with blue and ending with red. Take turtle at fourth and bear at fifth.

you should then be fifth level with move quints, red, and a level of bear stance. GANK CITY. from there, play it by ear as to whether you gank or jungle or w/e

Items: {Heart of Gold and basic boots}, {ninja tabi, merc treads, or swiftness as need dictates}, {wriggles lantern}. That's the core. then play it by ear (though randuins and sunfire are both excellent against physical).

[Ranmaru]

Hey guys. I downloaded LoL. I'm level three now. : D My username is Neokrw. I would deff like to play sometime.

[singersigner]

Ok, sweet. So if I grab a copy of Windows, then burn it to a CD / CDs, then I can just install straight from that using Bootcamp?

FAGGOT. MY CD/DVD PLAYER IS BROKEN. YOU KNEW THIS.

[scotmany12]

You can get an external cd drive singer. It's what I have been thinking of doing. There are some on Amazon that aren't that pricey.

[singersigner]

IT'S PROJECT GET SINGER TO LEVEL 30 BEFORE THEY WIPE OUT THE MAC CLIENT. GOGOGO.

[Ankamius]

I go cloth armor + 5 pots for Phoenixdyr and I can go through the entire jungle without any problems...

Like I said, you can install it from a jump drive.

So far, I really dislike the following champions: Sion, Amumu, Malphite.

I've loved Janna, Zilean, Warwick, and Cho'Gath.

Zilean/Janna are both fun supports... I love Zilean's time bomb ability, and I love the idea of his ult even though I never got to use it in the game I was in.

Warwick + Jungle = loads of fun.

Cho'Gath is fun simply because I make it my goal to get him as large as possible.

[bv310]

DO THIS! Then email Riot support and tell them how you had to buy an external drive and Windows, just so you could continue to play the game. See if they might offer you some free RP or something for seriously committing to them instead of jumping ship to a competitor.

it's not like philo udyr is FORCED to back early. he backs early to get philo stone at 3:00 and have the magical money fairies start dusting him with golden sunshine as fast as possible.

besides, it might be a personal thing but I don't like ganking pre-five for udyr. obviously you could take bear sooner and try to gank sooner, but I like having 2phoenix/2turtle/1 bear before I go for ganks, even if they take a little longer. weak udyr is susceptible to "jungler shows up and feeds buffs" syndrome more than others imo.

[Papa Zito]

Why would they offer you anything if you've already done all that?

that causes udyr to gank so late.

Personally I go cloth armor 5 health pots, clear jungle except for red, go b. Buy boots, grab red, go gank. You end up at level 4 with two points in phoenix/tiger, still do a fast clear, and have boots to gank. Udyr has great damage output without items, and redbuff/bearstance nets you the gank if you get the stun off. Flash v ghost is a difficult choice for me. Ghost bear is a MASSIVE speed boost, and is alot better if someone is push up, however flash bear will let you get alot more of those midlane ganks. Ghost is better on him late game though, and your masteries let you actually spec into it (I go 1,19,10 I believe).

Five just feels like such a late gank time. What time on the timer is that? Are you ahead of folks in lane or not?

Phoenixdyr is superior to Tigerdyr.
