the loading screen used to show whichever team was on blue and red side via supposedly distinguishable colors, but i could never tell the difference, so why dont you get over the fact that red purple and blue are all allegedly different things

I need to expand my hero pool. I currently play the following heroes well: Vlad Brand Karthus Lux Morgana I am very strong mechanically. Looking to play someone who can take over the game and 1vs9. I do not like Katarina as the RNG with her dagger is somewhat annoying. In general not a fan of melee heroes.

Most of the characters who can take over the game by getting hugely ahead are melee dudes, sadly. Irelia, Yi, etc.

rabidsquid posted:you mostly cant 1v9 at your own elo pretty much this. It's much better to play a champion as well as possible and shoot for that sweet 60% or so winrate. all that being said, if you play Vlad well.... just keep playing Vlad until he gets the nerfs that are clearly coming.

The secret to improving is figuring out how to be play well enough and be sane enough to win the 20-30% of games that are super close and your performance is the key difference between winning and losing. The rest of the games are "Your team does really well and you just have to play decently" and "Your team gets dunked on, there's no way you can realistically carry it". Expanding your hero pool is also a big trap if you're trying to improve your rank, IMO. Get really good with 2-3 champions, figure out when/why you want one over the other, and you'll probably see more improvements then trying to be a jack of all trades. At some point having a wider champion pool will matter, but it's not really until somewhere in the really high ranks. Dragongem fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Jul 23, 2018 |

Rygar201 posted:There isnt significant RNG to Kat's abilities either She's one of the least RNG champs in the game. Q is 100% reliable: it will bounce to up to two nearby enemies after hitting the first, and will then land 350 units directly behind the last hit unit, unless otherwise blocked by intervening terrain. This is actually the reason almost no one plays Katarina as you go up the MMR brackets: her pattern of play is so predictable and reliable that anyone who understands where Q will land can outplay her easily.

Enigma89 posted:I need to expand my hero pool. I agree with the other posters that going into the game with the 1v9 is a tough proposition. The attitude i think is best to echo is that you should aim to not outright lose the game. The other way people talk about this is letting yourself be carried. If you can exit the laning phase with equal or better cs than your lane opponent you're good on that front. If it's at the expense of your lane opponent roaming and destroying other lanes then they need to have lost a lot in exchange (major cs difference, lost tower, matching roams to the enemy jungle or opposite lane) The 1v9 style you're describing is generally going to be a split push heavy style like singed or tryndamere or udyr where you win on the basis of the opponent team not knowing how to play against that strategy. Foggedftw2 is a very popular streamer that plays this way and is surprising nontoxic for a tryndamere 1 trick. People in this thread don't like this apporoach because you're not really learning the game as most people play it. You've approached 1,000 games in this season, with the largest mmr growth adjusting from the bot lane to the mid lane. We have discussed before looking into educational content. A lot of this content defines metagame terms such as csd, zoning, priority, freezing, positioning, power spikes, base timings, build orders, etc. To climb your priority should no longer be based on trying to mechanically out playing your opponent by running at your opponent as Vladimir and stat- checking them. Rather, you should be looking at all these definitions in the context of games you have won and lost. Your questions should be phrased in the context of specific areas of improvement and not finding the next 8.12 Vladimir (which helps, but isn't sustainable for long term mmr growth). Instead of the extra game you play a night watch one of your replays and take notes, or better watch an educational video and apply it to a replay.

Enigma89 posted:I need to expand my hero pool. I’ll try to be more charitable than the other people in the thread, and say that I think you’re just misdiagnosing your problem. Why do you need to expand your pool? If you can play five champs well and you have great mechanics, why are you losing games? If anything, you should contract, rather than expand, your pool. Four of those champs (the ones that aren’t Vlad) do pretty much the same thing as one another. If you really want to play different champs, then focus on playing someone that does something entirely different. Candidates to try out are LeBlanc so you can play an assassin, Lissandra for when your team needs engage or you just want to style on a Zed player, and Twisted Fate or ASol for map pressure. However if you really wanna climb then switch roles and be a Nami one-trick

Enigma89 posted:I need to expand my hero pool. Even if you decide not to pick the role up as a main it's a good idea to learn some junglers as in this game some of the hardest carrying comes just from being in the right place at the right time, which the jungle can teach.

I just wanted to learn new heroes. I have 1k games this season and I have only played a handful of heroes. I hit my goal of gold with very little research and just playing (a lot). I sit down and watch replays in dota but this game is my fun game while dota is my try hard game. If I start watching a ton of replays in this game then I am going to burn myself out of both games. DotA is my #1 choice but I can only play so many games because they are just too intense and I get too invested in them. I know I am playing with blinders on but it is a conscience choice because if I sit down and start taking this game serious then I am going to lose my life grinding LP. I lost nearly 2 years in dota grinding like crazy and being angry after every lost. With this game its just happy lessons when I learn something midgame.

Play every champ on the roster alphabetically then and stop trying to gain lp. You're gold 5 which you only got with vlad at ~5 cs a minute as mid, you've got a ways to go both mechanically and in a larger macro sense. gently caress around playing weird poo poo (its the best time to be doing this) and stop taking it even semi serious. You're years and years behind general game sense knowledge that you'll only catch up on by playing champs

unfortunately you asked for a thing that doesnt really have an answer (a caster that can 1v9 that isnt kat) so either you need to pick up a couple melee mids or learn to translate your success into the thing that actually wins games which is applying map pressure or pick another caster with a 700 range zone and do magic spells on the bad guys (orianna maybe?) my advice: learn to like talon, go tiamat ghostblade and just start roaming at 6 until it stops losing you games

pog boyfriend posted:learning new guys is fun so i appreciate the sentiment. try playing zoe, the aspect of twilight I actually started playing her! She is actually quite fun, she reminds me of Puck. I thought I was getting the hang of her and then I took her into rank and not so much. I think my gently caress up is going aery and rushing ludens. It seems like Ludens has such a big build up and I am not finishing it in time and missing my window to really spike and then I am playing catch up all game. I have been thinking of going electrocute and then rushing lich but I am not sure if that is a good move or not.

I was thinking of maybe picking up Diana because she can mid and I sometimes see her in jungle (not sure if she is great there).

Diana's very strong if she gets ahead, but she's arguably one of the hardest mages in the game to play due to how dogshit her 1-6 is. If you've got proper wave management down and know when to play defensively, she's a decent pick, but in most cases you're going to get ganked over and over by the jungler and shoved into the ground. Right now, the best 1v9 mage in the game is indisputably Vlad. Ahri is also looking promising as a solo queue pick after the Charm buff. In general, any champ with strong mobility options, a way of becoming untargetable, or massive amounts of self-healing is going to do well in solo queue.

Stop throwing the term 1v9 around its a waste of time. Whether you like it or not this is a team game and your success depends greatly on evaluating what you can bring to your team to make it succeed. The best way to get higher ranks is to just keep playing games and learn from the mistakes you make. Focus on your map awareness/warding, positioning. Those things are just as important as being able to correctly land skills/combos and last hit creeps.

AP trynd can 1v9 in the sense that he's impossible to stop splitpushing, and with the buffs it's simply a case of when you win the game, not if.

I left games when my computer was loving up and I could not for the life of me figure out what the issue with it was, and I've intentionally never connected to a few games so my team could remake when I got placed jungle and forgot to take smite. To my knowledge, I've never been leaverbusted. No one is getting a long ban for a single game they left.
