Quinn and Poppy is one of the strongest bot lanes in the game. No one will play it because of prejudice against the two best champions in the game. It's true. The proof is everywhere. Quinn it to Win it, Once you Pop you can't stop.

Poppy is a severely underrated champion that is pretty much unstoppable once she comes online. A lot of people see her painfully awful early game and never give her a chance while failing to realize how much of an invincible carry-deleting rear end in a top hat she can be.

Fun fact: Poppy has the coin support item in her recommended items list (though not as a starting item) because I guess they forgot to update hers when philo stone was replaced by it.

The error is always my firewall is blocking the game. Is this a port forwarding issue? Has anyone else successfully used a VPN or other service with league? I have before because of reasons. Make sure your VPN covers udp. There are a million tools to test this.

I use private tunnel. 20 bux got me 100 gigs of traffic through their service and it only adds 30-50 ping to my latency. E; free Vpns are rear end, you pretty much need to pay for one.

Anyone who wants to stream music and have vods can still do so since it is just Audible Magic and ways to avoid it are all over the internet. Hitbox is fine for the smallfolks since there is a very small live delay so it is easier to interact with your viewers.

NTT posted:Sounds like some crybaby bitch poo poo 30 minutes of vods can get muted for a few seconds of audio, not even an entire song or something. I had it happen to me when I tried to upload a video of Dirt 3 to youtube for my friends, there was a few seconds of a song after a race so I got a copyright infringement despite it coming under fair use because it was literally a few seconds. Googles system is bullshit and the American music industry are complete assholes. I'm sure the 5s MAX of your song totally cost you sales.

ToxicSlurpee posted:There are a few champions that actually benefit greatly from eating camps just because they can do it so blindingly fast. Malzahar comes to mind. It's balls easy to kill mid tower incredibly early then power farm a few jungle camps until nothing can get near you without dying instantly. Part of the reason it's a good strategy is that it's really hard to prevent you from doing it and champs like Malz chew through camps so quickly it's barely slowing you down elsewhere. This is especially true of wraiths. They're like...right there and he can wreck the whole camp in seconds. It can be a very good idea for Malz to shove the lane up to the second tower after he's killed the first then eat some wraiths on the way to roam somewhere. It's pretty much a necessity to eat as much of the jungle as possible on Mordekaiser. 100% of his potential comes from powerfarming, if he's not ahead he's dead.

The main reason I don't stream is because I can't see any reason why anyone would watch someone (myself included) play video games who isn't already internet famous for playing video games (especially given a virtually limitless opportunity to watch people like that). Like you guys who are streaming regular (non-Challenger level) solo queue games of League, do people actually watch your streams? And if so, why?

I mostly just do it for shits and giggles, and the moderate entertainment value of watching how awful everyone (self-included) is in Bronze. I also use it to go back and watch stuff occasionally.

I enjoy watching people play League in general, especially if I know them. Streaming allows me to watch my internet friends play League on less of a delay than spectating in-client, so that I can talk to them in mumble/chat and talk about what they are doing. Also yea, Andichu's stream is pretty good in a Salty Teemo sort of way.

I can literally only play through a VPS, I've been considering buying a WTFast account since the 30 day trial has thus far been a dream for me, as I get playable ping all day long, but IDK if there are better/cheaper options.

I use a VPN for completely different reasons than the ones being complained about in this thread, but when you really consider what the VPN does for you, 20 bux for a ~year's worth of league data at a nontrivial but acceptable ping increase is an option a lot of people seriously consider.

So currently whenever I'm forced into top lane I cheese it with kayle or karma (unless I can get a decent match-up for pantheon). I was thinking about picking up Fiora to have in my back pocket for when this happens; is she worth the 6300?

In my opinion Fiora is best mid-lane, if you want to pick up a toplaner I'd pick up any of the tanky bruiser assholes who are popular in competitive play.

What is the deal with these Team Builder summoner icons? I queued as Rumble and called him a Fighter, since that was the recommended tag, and I got a Fighter icon after the game. Then I queued as support Critplank (Avarice Blade+Targon = full build with Triforce) and got a support icon afterwards. It's basically just call yourself whatever you want, get the tag that goes with it?

Anichu's stream is very... Stressful. Watching his level 7 Kayle cower in fear of a level 5 Carious with 12 HP was a highlight. Really got me into watching my own replays and seeing that I got dumb poo poo going on in my game too. Its worth while to see how games in the lower league are played, not saltyteemo lower.

Once you learn him he doesn't have any matchups that are like awful once you get some Q stacks. Get to 200 and basically nobody can bully you out any more. 400 and you can eat towers and I can't say anything about Fiora though, never played her.

I mean I'm not against everybody being able to easily earn all the icons but if there's literally nothing actually connecting it to the champion or your de facto role in the game, they might as well have just made five new icons of whatever and given you a random new one after every X games.
