League of Legends (Old)

This will be happening Soon (TM)

IT'S STARTING NOW!

Need vods.

[Oman]

Wish I could stay home from work to watch this.

[zoraster]

Every hero needs to overcome obstacles. Quadz will need to go 3-0 from here on out, through no fault of his own. AFK Jayce the last game was especially painful.

Comments and what not on the cast, please. We're sort of learning as we go. It's a lot easier for me to have two other casters so I can focus on providing better camera work.

[zoraster]

BTW the streaming will continue around 7:30 EST tonight! Join us for more fun!

[quadz08]

I really feel like I played two solid games (though I was admittedly rather complainy and demoralized in the 2nd game).

I have not all-chat whined about my team ever in solo queue. Not a single time, until that last game.

>_<

[Klazam]

Subtitles!

chat'll do. still good fun

pedit: you did well, though

shanba was narrating all chat, it was excellent.

[Klazam]

dammit. anyway to have all chat show up on stream? (or show up at all during speccing)

[JasonWazza]

There's some tiny button on the champion selecter thing that looks like an eye, it's in there (why all chat isn't turned on by default is beyond me)

[quadz08]

oh also

#1 best thing about that game

about 19 minutes in, fizz goes "don't worry, we've got lategame"

my response was "lategame is at 70 minutes since you and ez have >40 farm"

You did! You were easily the best player on your team both times and you made no bad plays AFAIK. Just shitty luck with the whole DC'd Jayce and "Master Yi who never upgraded machete and rushed Boot Enchants"

Comments and what not on the cast, please.

It's so much easier to watch things than it is to do them, I want you to understand that I know that as I add anything. You guys did a solid job!

Levels: sort them out before you cast if you can. Shanba was too quiet and then game SFX were too loud.

Roles: Try to assign roles before you begin. Because you can't see each other, it's hard to know when the other person wants to say something. The Pros signal with a handwave/tap, whatever you guys work out, it'll help you not step on each other (which happened a few times).

Yes, and: Basic improv rule, and I'm sure Reck that you're all over this. You guys were doing the "yes" well, but remember the "and". In the game that I watched Reck would say "Fizz gets out with a solid troll pole" and then Shanba would just start talking about midlane. Sometimes you WILL want to jump around quickly, but it doesn't cost much to just add "Fizz's engages have been re weak, relying on flash, but his disengage is still strong. In the midlane with have..." By adding a little before it, the transition will seem less jarring. Final addition on this: Work on transitions even if you're not doing the above technique. "Fizz gets out with a solid troll pole" "But he's the only one getting away, in mid Yi is caught up by a double roam."

Quadz: I love this "our hero" angle you guys are playing up. It's really fucking strong and it's what people will latch on to. Keep leveraging that, keep it up. It'll also mark the beats of the story. When Quadz dies make a big deal of it, get the crowd invested! When he gets a kill make it a big thing, get their hearts pumping.

Actually speaking of beats, again if you watch the pros you'll see them ramp up and make a very definite cut off and relax after each team fight. People like stories and stories have pacing, try to build that around the game as it unfolds. I have no specific advice on how to make that happen.

You guys both casted really well, and I wish I were around to watch the rest, but I'll likely be working. If not though, I'll be there with bells on.

[chamber]

and you made no bad plays AFAIK

Sometimes that's just not enough in bronze.

[zoraster]

yeah, the level stuff was basically impossible since reck came online after quadz and shan was only added after the first game. It's kind of tricky because there are like 8 volume things going into the computer, and I can't control half of them (since they're on reck and shan's side).

Initially I wanted to have us all watch the same feed, mine (the one you see on the cast). That would keep us all on the same page in terms of discussion, make sure we're at the same time period (we got off a little), etc. Unfortunately due to technical issues, we weren't able to do that this time. We might be able to solve that in the future.

[Elmo TeH AzN]

That master Yi T3 boots before anything

[Shanba]

I have fixed my mic issues I

think

also yeah I was sorta vaguely aware that we were talking over each other and in different parts of the map but I wasn't really sure how to co-ordinate it. We're not exactly in the same room <.>

[dramonic]

Wait did you guys not SAVE the broadcast?

[xRECKONERx]

Weird. It didn't save it.

[zoraster]

just won my first ever promo series (2-1) when we were down 4v5 from the start (of course it was a teemo). Possibly the best game I've played, going 14/1/10 on Cait.

[Iecerint]

Grats. ^^

[xRECKONERx]

woooooooooo

[zoraster]

of course, i'm still two divisions behind my other account, but no matter!

[Papa Zito]

Twitch doesn't automatically save broadcasts anymore. You have to enable that in settings. Even then, it'll only save for two weeks.

I agree with all of Oman's points, and would just add that the camera was extremely jarring at times.
