League of Legends (Old)

[Grimmjow]

You should have heard him the whole game
<.<

Also: Anivia's the shiznit. *nod nod*

[Grimmjow]

Ok, so I play Anivia mostly, and I'm *decent* with her. My problem is that I'm level 11, and when I play with Reck and others, they're higher level than myself, so I get murderated. But when I play alone and get matched with people my level, I realize just how badly they suck. Like running away from a team fight when I'm 1/2 health and they're all full health. Any ideas how to overcome this?

FTFY

[Grimmjow]

Best Support Taric game ever?

[Grimmjow]

CAN YOU NOT GIVE ME A SINGLE MOMENT OF JOY, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE?!

[Grimmjow]

Someone please explain this... LOOK AT THE TIME

[Grimmjow]

Well, to be fair, the Nasus afk'd immediately, then came back in while we were level 18, he was level 6. Then the Teemo afk'd for like 5 minute. We won because I (Gragas) started to backdoor while the bots were busy with everyone else. Thanks to my passive, I could take the towers alone, sans minions.

[Grimmjow]

I still don't have any idea how we managed to have it last THAT long.

[Grimmjow]

PONEH.

[Grimmjow]

We played a fun Dominion game the other night where Reck was Rammus, Pie played Hecarim, and I played Poppy. The three of us carried the team (it literally was like an 8 minute game). Every time Pie would run into a teamfight, he'd just yell "PONEH." Quite entertaining. Except he wasn't playing the Amazing Horse song during the game, so he ended up dying like once or twice.

[Grimmjow]

Sooooooooo, I started playing Karma... She's def underrated.

[Grimmjow]

This is very true. I just ran a bot game with Karma mid against Brand (yeah, bots, I know) and it took about the third team fight for them to figure out how my Mantra/Shield and Mantra/Blades worked.

[Grimmjow]

Gratz

[Grimmjow]

Adorkable: Jungle Soraka is AMAZING. Her ganks are retarded. Jovian (our roommate) plays a damned good jungle Soraka.

[Grimmjow]

GOD DAMMIT WHY THE FUCK posdFUAPSOIDVB

[Grimmjow]

I watched this for like 5 minutes trying to figure out what his other abilities were (not the donkey, obv.) and then realized I was watching a knock off Shrek-League and hated myself.

[Grimmjow]

Since when do bots have skins? I just started a bot game and there's a Mad Scientist Ziggs bot...

[Grimmjow]

hm. I haven't played a bot game in ages. I just played one today to get FWOD bonus.

[Grimmjow]

I just lost 39 elo because of an amumu that smited early, so I (sona) got red buff, a garen that had no idea what his abilities did, and a diana that couldn't farm. Can I please play with competent people?

[Grimmjow]

And another 36 elo. This time with a 2/11/3 Jax and a 4/8/5 Kat. FML

[Grimmjow]

Holy shit the intro music now.

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

I've played him quite a bit. His early game is all about harrass, since he can lifesteal back up easily. He has two main play styles: early game damage to beast mode late game or a slightly more tanky-disruption build. He has relatively long cool downs (10 seconds on his jump), so be wary of that when playing as him. When playing against him, if he hasn't used his jump yet, he has an escape and will use it to get away. Also be mindful of his passive. It heals about half of his HP when blood well is full, and scales down dramatically when it is lower. If you pop his passive, be prepared for an all out war. His attack speed suffers greatly (decreased by 50%) when his passive has just been popped. He has to use abilities to fill the blood well, and it typically takes about 3 abilities to fill it completely.

To;Dr: easy to counter if blood well is popped. Watch his early game. If level one, his health is above 600, he's going for more tanky-less damage. Destroy him early to shut him down all game.

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.

[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.

[Grimmjow]

Yes, it's a bot game, but I might like Lucian a lot. He has crazy mana problems, though.

[Grimmjow]

I want a full Arcade line up. 5 arcade skins, riot please.

P sure that's going to happen at some point in time. Reck and I were discussing what other champions might be in the line-up, and we both think an Arcade Diana skin would look cool.

I was thinking Arcade Ezreal.

Give us the mega man etc.

With Pulsefire already out, I doubt they'd give Ez another baller skin.

[Grimmjow]

So Dyrus and Reginald got into it apparently. On stream, no less.
See for yourself.

[Grimmjow]

apparently Dyrus walked out of the house afterward.

wtf is going to happen to TSM i wonder.

[Grimmjow]

true statement

[Grimmjow]

Regi's too proud, most likely, so step away from the actual game. Running the business doesn't seem like his style, from interviews I've watched. I agree that TSM sans Regi would be best to just bounce after worlds. I doubt it'll happen, though.

[Grimmjow]

New meta: jungle veigar

stop that

[Grimmjow]

Reginald is a dick.

That is why.

Everyone should love Complexity because they are a group of standup guys.

After trying out some different stuff on Lucian, the build I've done best with is:
Bloodthirster - I don't like botrk as much as BT because he scales super well on AD and only decently on AS. His double hits are nice but you don't really end up with more activations than you would on a more purely AA-focused champion.
Black Cleaver - He stacks it fast with passive / ult and likes the CDR and health.
Triforce - Everything is useful and the kiting / spellblade passives are synergetic for him
LW - good for the usual reason
Greaves - I haven't actually tried Ionian boots yet but we do want at least :some: AS
GA - we get a little health from triforce / BC and a little armor/MR here, so that works nicely.

I don't like infinity edge as much as usual because a lot of his damage is based on abilities which can't crit.

I find that with some CDR, I can keep an ability->doubleauto chain up. That pattern doesn't benefit as much from shiv or PD as from triforce.

Also Lucian Really likes blue buff. Fills out the CDR and he does go oom easily.
And the ult isn't so much a ton of damage as good damage at a longer than normal range.

What has worked for other people?

I like the BT/PD/BotRK build. I love the attack speed, the damage that I get from BT alone is pretty substantial, and the lifesteal makes you just not die. Ever. I haven't played a long game with him yet, so idk past that (and Berserker's, obvs).

[Grimmjow]

Just for lolz (see what I did there? hurr hurr) and because I main support and had not seen this.
