I am new and bad as well, but I kind of like this game.

Also, I am not bad with Malphite for some reason, once I figured out that it is OK to hide under your tower if your are being pushed a ranged champion in lane. That ult!


You should check your masteries because in 75% of your games you don't have any keystone and the other 25% you are taking thunderlords and not grasp (unless this is AP mid, then thunderlords is fine)

Perhaps, the lack of a keystone is because they are new, like they said, and they didn't have enough mastery points to get to one yet

The issue is not you getting mad. The issue is almost always someone else getting mad at you, and telling you that you're a loving idiot, and they only died because you did not do something, and you not responding to that to defend yourself.

That is how toxic occurs in this game. It's not you getting mad because something bad happened (generally). It's you responding to someone else's snippy little bullshit comment about how you need to gank more, or not extend so much, or whatever. When you respond and debate it, that's what kicks the anthill over.

Oh I know. I should have clarified when i said I don't get mad, I didn't mean at the game. I meant like it takes a lot for someone to piss me off in that way. If I want to reply and be snippy and pissed off it's usually just a "k thx :)" or something...I don't have the time or the energy to fight with people like that. It doesn't help anything anyway. Nobody has told me they hosed my mom though...which is very telling. I guess my mom only fucks console FPS players...

1) I hit level 18 somewhere in there, so I didn't have masteries before then.
2) I have no idea what I'm doing.

I forgot that the listing would be in reverse chronological order. Essentially, if you are building him tank, you will get more value out of the defensive tree and grasp of the undying mastery will do more damage because it scales off of your max health. If you are building AP (or AD) thunderlords will do more damage because it scales with offensive items.

Hey man just keep doing you. If Malphite clicks with you, go for it. I'd recommend the Grasp of the Undying mastery on him and basically any tanky champ.

This is pretty interesting. It's an exhaustive review of champions by difficulty by a current CLG analyst:

not really sure i agree with a lot of them - lee sin is not nearly that hard, poppy is easier than he says, liss is way loving harder than he says, lux easier

it would be nice if he didn't write it like he was trying to re-write riots insipid in-game notes, but i do respect how much work went into it

Last night I was playing a pretty good Jhin game, and I was unfortunately stuck in the base defending it from super minions while my team was tooling around to no great effect at the enemy mid inhib. Our dumb rear end Kassadin rotated to bot to try to take the open inhib and died, and immediately in chat I see "It would be nice if you would ever team fight, Jhin."

Yeah it loving would, but these super minions are not going to take care of themselves. Well I mean, I guess I could let them end the game and they would, but I'd prefer to win. His duo buddy mid lane Malzahar had less kill participation than I did but you can guess why he wasn't saying poo poo about that.

Jhin ult is such a versatile and fun skill. You can use it to snipe kills after a skirmish, you can use it to snipe kills on opponents who don't realize that a 40% Annie is actually a dead Annie, you can use it as an engage tool to get a pick, you can use it to disengage. You can fire it backwards and gently caress up the really good gank you just got even :saddowns:

I love queuing into 3 man teams who lose both their lanes and their jungler friend being completely ineffective because hes only paying attention to the lanes that were lost at champ select instead of the lane that could potentially be doing something other than being a tower dive away from +300g. Really great dynamic experience riot has crafted here

favorite jhin ult moments are when i fire it from a safe distance and a 30% health assassin comes running at my general direction with no vision.

I would recommend smurfing a bit, you get to experience all of the madness that happens when you have a bunch of lovely players, a couple of super toxic douchenozzles, a bunch of smurfs, and a bunch of tryhards who suck, all in the same game

This was particularly hilarious because I literally tried to bronze smurf to see what it was like, but after playing post-rework AP Sion Mid every game of my promos, I finished at 5-5 in Silver 4 on my intended bronze smurf account. I literally can't troll my way down to your level. And I'm only plat 1.
