NTT posted:Ezreal buffs Is an extra 80 magic damage in the lategame, that will sometimes hit a minion/monster instead of a champion, which is tied to your escape, really that big of a buff? E: If Corki's W was given a 0.1 bonus AD value per tick (for a total 0.5), would that be a worthwhile buff?

So I've been playing Aram because I really don't want to deal with tools in solo que/teambuilder... and Wicked Hatchet/lightbringer creates an INSANE combo on ashe. For those who are unaware because they don't play anything except Summoners Rift and don't touch any items beyond those found on the Rift, the Hatchet and Lightbringer share a passive that takes any crit damage you do, and adds a dot to the end that equals 60/90% of your AD over 3 seconds (and reveals the dotted champ). On Ashe this procced... decently often, but not 100% of the time. If I were to guess, I'd say that it's got an internal cooldown of 3 seconds before allowing the next to trigger. On Aram this is even more fun because that particular item also provides stealth detection from a stupid teemo or Shaco or whatever.

Tonight while trying to practice Leblanc to see if she is someone I would enjoy as a pocket mid lane pick I made a plat 1 Zed rage quit. Don't ask me any other questions about the game I beat him in lane and then everybody agreed that I was smart and handsome and the game was declared ended at 14 minutes with my team as victorious We definitely didn't lose a 5v4 basically single handedly to a Gangplank so if you heard that its not true, and me wasting time looking for picks and then barely CSing for poo poo later isn't something that happened, because the game ended when that guy rage quit and anyone who tells you different is a liar

It has some value in the early game. There will be some all-ins where you use the E for burst, and 40-80 extra damage (depending on pickaxe/manamune/phage status) can matter in that situation. Not like, a lot, but it will.

The worst feeling in low-tier soloqueue is supporting an ADC that can't CS. I had to play with a Quinn last night (...) who literally could not farm. We dominated the lane, getting multiple kills and keeping the other team pushed to tower until it went down. Then I hit tab and noticed the other ADC is up ~30 cs at fifteen minutes.

flyingkiwi posted:Levelling up an account with an XP boost on and it's still insanely slow I just hit 17 last night, and I'm still trying to find a good place in my calendar where I can just sit around and nerd out on this game for a long enough stretch of evenings so I can justify an XP boost. It's not so much the champs - I have most of the ones I want at this point - but the runes, masteries, and the fact that when I play with my friends they're all 30 so I feel like I'm starting behind. It's pretty dumb. (Not to mention that I just want to be able to try the Team Builder queue so I can maybe skip all the bullshit firstpost lanegrabs.)

This sucks but once you push down their tower you can focus on getting your other lanes ahead by roaming (unless you're someone super-defensive, but never underestimate those Janna ganks).

We dominated the lane, getting multiple kills and keeping the other team pushed to tower until it went down. CS advantage in the duo lane (in solo queue) is just about the most useless metric, unfortunately. One way or another the farm in that lane is going to even out, because if you pick Caitlyn and build a 30 CS advantage and crush their tower and take dragon and back, then come out swinging to take mid tower... your mid laner is going to loving sulk because it's "his lane" and so you can't rotate fast enough, their AD quietly farms bottom and takes your tower while the other team calmly clears 3v4 and you lose all the pressure you built. There's just not enough coordination in solo queue to punish the other team with that kind of advantage that isn't already added on to a lead in another lane. Except if it's the other team. They always have their poo poo together.

Yeah like there's no doubt the dude is immensely useful to have in a teamcomp I just dont know what the lanes are like where people are actually getting away with picking him. He has a number of pretty common absolute terror poo poo lanes and not too many he actually wins on paper.

This stops happening at some point, not sure when. I've gotten myself stuck in Gold 5 and I have yet to have a mid laner complain when we come up to push his turret for him. Usually they're pretty happy to get the turret because it frees them up to move around the map more. That stuff used to happen ALL THE TIME a season or two ago.

One of the hardest things to coordinate in solo queue in my opinion is when you do win bot lane really hard, trying to get your team on board with fast rotation tower crushing and trying to get your ADC on board with "not trying to split push or 1vX like a mad man" Both of those things are often really hard to coordinate, even if you have a big advantage, and the latter is like the #1 cause of thrown games by the ADC. I had a game a few weeks ago where I got a Draven 4/0/0 in lane, we crushed the lane, crushed the tower, and then did dragon. Everything was gravy. Then I'm trying to ping out objectives and get people to rotate and he just pushes to bot lane enemy tier 2 5 times consecutively and dies with no one else there, even with several people back pinging him and requesting him to rotate. He died almost on cooldown for the next ten minutes. We lost the game obviously. The few times I went up with him, I back pinged him excessively about the 4 incoming people onto the 2 of us and knew that this was not a fight we could take and he just had to throw axes no matter the odds. Some people just have to push lane to the end of the loving earth or they aren't playing League of Legends? I have no idea. It's totally

I haven't particularly gotten the "What are you doing in MY lane?" in ranked, but I do get it from time to time in Team Builder. It's just funny that you'll get the one man army who dies and then demands that the team "needs to group", or you'll get the person that desperately needs to group and could win the game from there but is just hardwired to sit in the lane they started in. I think the way to win with the fed carry is to just keep killing the other carry, shove that wave in, and pressure the T2 tower super hard, which means as the support it's my job to completely cover that side of the map in wards and somehow intuit when they're just farming a side wave and when they're on a suicide mission. e: or really, I guess the way to win with a fed carry is to change the game from taking objectives to keeping them alive. Whatever they want to do, babysit they rear end. Badfinger fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Sep 16, 2015 |

kingcobweb posted:I just don't understand how making stuff Not Die fits in with a jungler, whose play pattern inevitably centers around ganking with ult. What does this ult do in a gank other than leading to a high-larious youtube clip of it saving the entire enemy team? For someone who writes about game design I'm really surprised that you're unhappy with a champion whose ult screams Utility instead of "nuke, with preconditions". This sort of wacky toolbox skill, instead of a champion that's designed to do one thing and one thing only, is why Dota 2 works so well and has been so enduring.

i'm glad their ult is something different with potentially cool gameplay interactions rather than a boring-rear end global skillshot or whatever, we have enough of those already. the last few champs have all had really interesting, different ults. tahm, bard, azir ect. it's fun and mixes stuff up.

Yea, but the Dota developers are fine with a character like invoker, which has all the buttons, and a character like wraith king, who has one button, being in the same game. Plus when ADCs have a teamfight ult, pros will use it and riot will relentlessly nerf it, look at all the sivir nerfs she has eaten and not completely dropped out of pro play.

Part of the lovely series of games that got me there involved an ADC Ezreal with 42 CS in 28 minutes. I'm looking at this guy's history now, here are his K/D/As from his last ten matches: 2/9/10 0/7/9 0/3/5 0/8/2 3/8/6 0/3/2 4/11/11 1/7/6 2/6/4 2/6/1 None of those were in support roles.

I'm close to where you are (I'm low silver) and it does often seem that there is usually one player in the game who is just horribly on tilt. If I'm mid or jungle I don't care because carrying is much easier for me in those roles, but it hurts when you're the support and the person tilting is your ADC.
