League of Legends (Old)

So, It's been some time since Aatrox came out. What's the verdict on him?

win rate data says balanced, gut feel says people are building/playing him wrong (i personally feel hes a shit jungler, for example, but about 30% of games he gets jungled) and that statistical data wont be accurate for a while, that theres some incredibly obvious counterplay that people miss, and he falls off later into the game

I disagree that he falls off late game. This is top Aatrox that I'm talking about, not jungle. If he's not dealt with early, he becomes a beast late game with just BOTRK and Bloodthirster, with damage, attack speed, and lifesteal. His abilities done even have to be used in fights for him to own; they are there for disruption, escapes, and sticking power.

and he then proceeds to get shat on by cc and/or burst damage - a pure damage aatrox is squishy enough to get knocked out of the fight right away and a tanky aatrox isnt a large enough threat to be worth bothering with (he doesnt quite have enough disruption with his short-range, easy to avoid knockup or his oddly conical, slow-moving, easy to avoid slow)

there is likely a balance between the two that has not been found yet

[Grimmjow]

I've found that in a team of cc, he does wonders. He's very single target, so your team does all the cc and focuses one champ, while you jump on another. If your team is focusing the ADC, jump on their cc and whittle them down. Wait until bloodwell is popped, then ult for the additional damage, attack speed, and attack range.

I'm disturbancy on League. If you guys want to shoot an invite for a game some time (;

for some reason... My computer can't handle LoL anymore

I wish I knew more about computers to figure out what was wrong.

What exactly happens when you try to play?

I think the issue is there is too much on our router right now. We have four computers plus my brother is playing x-box live.

My ping isn't that high, it spikes at about 150 at times but when I am lagging at 100 I start to get worried. My champ just sorta jumps around, almost like a 2 second delay. One game is fine, the next game I can't see shit

[CF Riot]

That's easy enough to test. Wake up at 5 am one morning and play a game while all the other computers are sleeping.

[Staeg]

his (Aatrox's oddly conical, slow-moving, easy to avoid slow

I've been wondering... is there any reason that they did this to this particular ability, and no other, other than it being sorta-kinda cool?

[Ankamius]

Yeah, that reverse cone is really weird and looks hilariously useless if you're trying to hit someone with the edge of it.

Might be low FPS. If so you need to update the video card and/or clean out the fan (if it's overheating).

[CF Riot]

Dayne, you play this game?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Dayne, you play this game?

Mhm.

Would anyone be willing to help me win my Silver III promo series? I don't really like making requests like this in the thread but my MMR is ~ Gold IV so I don't trust myself to do very well in solo queue.

[killerjester]

:''''''''''''''(

[InflatablePie]

Err... well... ... shit.

[RayFrost]

Yeah, you can't do normals until level 3 now for some reason.

[notscience]

It's to block smurfs.

[InflatablePie]

Odd. I was able to play normals with my other Lv1 smurfs about a week ago. Meh.

Message me when you see me on. I got you.

[JDodge]

anyone want to analyze pro-level play with me in order for learning purposes/developing a coherent, solid game strategy from the ground up via blatant plagiarism?

[Ankamius]

Sounds like fun.

[JDodge]

Sounds like fun.

i'm focusing on CST/TSM/C9 since korean vods are generally unavailable/hard to come by in not-korean and i'm not familiar enough with the korean scene to know people's comfort champs/target bans/etc.

[Ankamius]

Let me know what I need to do, when to do it. I've been in a big enough analytical streak over the past couple days that I think I can keep the momentum going strong.

Message me on League sometime. I've got literally the entire OGN Spring season in 1080p right now(English).

Could I possibly get this?

[Phillammon]

Well, I started playing ranked again, and it's going relatively well (in a "2 doublepromotions in two days" sort of way), and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on playing draven in a ranked scenario- specifically, against a poke heavy lane?
