League of Legends (Old)

[dramonic]

to both of my loyal viewers: i'm a bit ill right now, so i probably won't be streaming (at least on my regular schedule) for the rest of the week

expect me to be on on saturday to make up for it, though

go watch scarra instead, he's featured streamer this week and his schedule for his featured week is

almost

identical to my normal weekly schedule

Am I one of those loyal viewers?

[Andrius]

First Hecarim game 5/2/11.
Went the first 20ish minutes never dying.
Lots of close escapes. But damn he's ridiculously fun. <3

[Hinduragi]

LoL Broke

[Andrius]

HECARIM TOO STRONG


---> You know those games where you're winning a lane SO HARD and yet every other lane lost both towers before 20? Yup. Eirikah/Andy Cait/Nunu too good. Back hurts man.

[esuriospiritus]

ICEBALL/TRAP COMBO 2GUD

[Espeonage]

That was the most peaceful team select I have ever had. Considering chat was broken.

[IH]

NEw champ seems a little lack luster. He'll probably get buffed so hard he's super op.

[Espeonage]

I dunno. He looks to me to actually be a pretty good place, as far as champs on release go.

I got a Loss Prevented today. because off all the chat errors.

>alistar ganks me mid five times in laning phase, goes nowhere else
>rammus stays in the jungle the whole game
>shyvana loses lane to teemo, then runs mid and gets killed by heimer & alistar
>says im not zoning well enough and ragequits

i really really need a 1000-1100ish elo duo partner so i can decrease the chances of fuckwads like her

4 more levels mang. I'm going to try AP Naut for the first time later today. He does so much damage with tank items.. can't wait to see what I can do with the Ap enchancements. Solo queue sucks anyway. Most people including myself flirt with a 50/50 win/loss. I mostly lose due to afkers, lack of ranged champs and "lol ima jungle, boots no pots"

Hec ain't bad actually. Did better going hybrid than I did full tank - bout an even 220 on AD and AP, 1.5 AS.

[Amrun]

Holy fuck, the game is unplayable right now.

Played twice - got kicked twice. The first time, I couldn't get back on for over ten minutes because the na servers were unavailable. Keeps ruining my game. This patch is borked.

I have an issue, though: I like playing Volibear, but can't farm for shit on him for some reason. Any tips? (Get better at farming is not a valid answer; I need HOWS.) I am a lot better at farming on other champs, especially those that throw things from a distance.

Practice; volibear has a fairly long attack animation between getting into range and actually doing damage, it'll take awhile but you'll get used to it.

Also run AD runes, Volibear's damage at lower levels is a bit meh so some extra AD really helps.

[RayFrost]

Also don't be afraid to use your w to last hit if you don't feel your auto will manage it.

You can also go a bit of early damage in items like building toward a phage instead of just rushing [insert tanky tank mctank item here].

[Patrick]

I also can't farm for shit on Volibear. I think it's because I'm initiating fights all the time, but his auto animation is kinda meh as well.

[Amrun]

What exact runes/builds?

Right now, I probably have a bad build. I start ... boots+pots. Rush Mogs while finishing boots (usually merc treads). Then Wit's End. Then Atma's. (Depends a little on gamestate).

I currently run him in the defense tree. My current runes are health quints + armor seals + MR marks + CDR glyphs. (Then another page of the same except the marks are armor too.)

I know all of this can be improved. I don't know. Volibear stumps me a little. But his passive makes him good for me.

[xRECKONERx]

so I bought a bunch of AS runes and I don't know who to use them on

who benefits from AS reds

[xRECKONERx]

new strategy when I play with Zito:

he's teemo, i'm poppy
i dive constantly and feed, he constantly gets double kills

superfed teemo pushes turrets and gives no fucks while winning games
meanwhile, worthless gold poppy is just a distraction

... Can you splain that? How do AS runes not benefit someone who AA's for a living?

[Patrick]

Are you laning him solo top?

Sometimes cloth armor +5 health pots will be a better start, then building into a Wriggles Lantern to give you some staying power in lane. Without it, you have only your passive for lane sustain, which isn't that much.

Rushing Warmogs isn't always the best idea either, but it depends what's going on in your lane. If you just want to be tougher against a physical attacker, chain vest will give you better value for money. Against things doing magic damage, you might want an early Negatron cloak or even go straight to your Wits End. Warmogs is a great item to have but not necessarily as a first item.

Atmas is a good choice and likely still will be after the nerf.

As for runes, Marks are usually better used for offensive stats, usually armor pen. I can't remember otoh what you get from MR marks but if you want MR I think it's better for them to be Glyphs or Quints. I'd replace the Health Quints, they don't offer that much beyond the first few levels.


Full offence tree would help you farm, but there's nothing wrong with defence tree either.

Bruisers are the hardest things to build, so just try and be as flexible as you can and react to what's going on in the game.

Voli's animation is shit

The easiest way to farm with him is champions

er

I mean build wriggles and get easy cs from procs+broken sustain

[Hinduragi]

Farming is more important. It's already hard enough to farm for AD Carries, so you generally want to run AD reds/quints to help last hit and win trades. Your boots by themselves give you AS. Notice most AD Carries rush IE/BT before PD(again, I run Kog as an exception here for his W abuse). AD is simply more helpful in winning trades and fights early on than AS.

where did the dc fit into this plan

Ah, ok. I wasn't considering relative benefit, just benefit period. i.e., AS runes are better than no runes, even though AD reds might be better than AS reds.

I agree. His animations is really bad.

Thanks for the advice.
