^^^ Bard 6th or 5th or any item BotRK is great and I have a 100% win rate on it. Over 3 games. On a smurf in silver... It turns out Hextech crafting pretty much means I can always just unlock new champs that way, and spend my IP on dumb runes and name changes.. I just bought a full set of scaling armor quints and critical damage runes with my newfound wealth.

Hextech is great for new players and almost entirely useless to anyone who already plays a ton of games because you've probably got most of what you wanted anyway and the skins are all based on RNG

I mean it would be better if you couldn't get stuff you already own, especially if it swapped over champion shards to skin ones if you own all the champs. For whatever reason I've gotten a majority champion shards, which I can't do anything until a champ releases, at which point I'll presumably have another pile of them to get rid of. Still free stuff though.

It's still silly how much champions cost, that runes cost at all, and that there's still only 10 free champions any given week despite there being almost 150.

You'll get the new champion guaranteed. this didn't work for me because when Sol was released I rerolled 3 champ shards and got Ahri, and I owned every champion except for Sol. it might have been a client bug but I've got over 50k ip already so buying the champions with ip still means the shards / essence is useless.

SlyFrog posted:Ok, I managed to get another jungle game recorded through OP.GG. Kite the creeps--krugs, buffs, wolves--both to take less damage and position yourself closer to the next camp and have higher health in case you need to duel or invade or gank or whatnot. Don't attack the little creeps in between the big ones because the extra damage from your red buff does ends up being overkill and it slows your clear. When your top dies and you're right there you don't freeze for her. When you're still farming up to buy devourer, getting that gold is all that matters, you should After the double kill on the support and mid, you try to help bot push its wave instead of mid. The enemy adc is still alive, so pushing that does nothing. Their mid died though so pushing that would be uncontested. The best choice would probably be to take dragon and crab right then and gotten 7 stacks, or just farmed your stacks if dragon were taken. Instead you end up starting dragon after everyone's respawned, it wastes a lot of time you could have spent stacking. Your team fights and does a lot of dumb roams happen and you end up having to hold top again. In general, you want to yell at your top--Quinn the best wave catcher in the game, who has no cs--to pick it up then go back to whatever stupid roams she's doing, because she can both cs and be relevant easier than you. On the way to pick up the wave, you take blue, instead of going straight there or taking any other camp. The small camps respawn faster and take less time to kill, so killing them is better for stacking and you might have caught more cs with the time. Also, Lux could have used that blue a minute later, when she backs for being out of mana. Their top pushes a wave to tower and you turn around from chickens to go there to catch it, then try to push tower, but they return after you get only 5 hits on their tower. If a wave hits the tower and the laner isn't hitting the tower, they backed. Pushing that lane will do nothing unless their tower is really low. You can instead farm bot and be closer to the ARAMing mid, and be able to get the dragon, which probably would get you sated right then. Stop creeping after you get sated. Run around killing people or split pushing and dueling--make use of your power spike. You kill a few people with your team, then eventually solo split top and get all the towers but by then your team already won the game 4v5.

I actually did this differently in this game, because of recent comments from another game review here yesterday, where the reviewer criticized the jungler for not killing the little creeps early. He said the little creeps do all the damage, and you should attack and kill them. Previously, I had been simply beating down the big creep first, but had specifically started doing damage to and killing the little creeps earlier because of that comment. Which is right? (Also, thanks for taking a look at it. I am already trying to internalize some of the things you reference that I know I do wrong, in particularly spending too much time post-sated still taking camps and such, as opposed to running around creating havoc and pushing lanes and poo poo.)

Kill the little creeps early, they do the most damage (except at wolf camp, where I believe it's actually better to kill the big wolf first). I didn't watch the replay, but you should focus on one or the other, not both. So don't attack both the big creep and the little ones - focus the little ones first (or big wolf at wolf camp). This really only matters in the early game, though. Later on, when you're not taking a significant amount of damage from the jungle, just do whatever you can to clear camps as quickly as possible.

Hextech giving you champion shards if you own all the champions is dumb. Rerolling even just gets you another frigging champion you can't use unless a new champion is out. It'd be better if there was just one kind of essence because then at least those worthless-rear end shards would be good for something.

Unless you're khazix obviously, then you always always kill the smalls first because it's always faster and you are a squishy baby bug that gets wrecked otherwise. e; Whoever told you this probably plays Nunu or something. Nunu also doesn't care about being invaded or 50/50 smite fights except at his first buff, where he can actually die or not have consume up because he has to use it on cooldown. slydingdoor fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Mar 30, 2016 |

Hextech Crafting is very explicitly supposed to be a catchup mechanic for new players with the added bonus of giving veterans ~free skinz~ so while I suppose they certainly could've come up with more ideas for rewards for endgame peeps it was very much likely not their main focus with the system.

I would add that this depends on your champ. If you're irelia, for example, always kill the smalls first since you don't want then getting free damage on you. If you're hecarim however, don't even touch the smalls. They'll die to 3 qs/w anyway and you're wasting auto attacks in the interim
