Arcturas posted:Yeah, I have played a bunch of both Jinx and old Ashe and honestly would only ever R from downtown to steal kills (actually to miss by half a screen and lol while telling my team I tried to help). New ashe is confusing because I have to learn new things and my champion knowledge is stuck in season 3 so gently caress new people like Lucian. silver scrublord here but I can at least give you tips on Ashe if you just wanna right click on mans because that's her lategame. Ashe's W works how it's always worked, her new Q basically means after autoattacking four times you can burn mana to have an attack speed steroid and, with Q rank-ups, increased damage. This is very good when picked up with press the attack. There's usually an audio or visual cue (besides looking at your skills) that tells you it's time to just fire All The Arrows. They also slow a little more than Ashe's basic attack too, I think? So if you have it up due to shooting minions and some dummies try to come trade with you without CCing you via pyke or some apeshit balls to the wall leona you can target them, hit q, and then just keep shooting the gently caress at them. Also don't try to go for the downtown hero play snipes with r, you still get a pretty long stun if you can just hit them from across the lane, 90% of the time this is enough to win you the trade if you start attacking them while they're stunned by arrow (see: having Q up) Lucian is an interesting and cool fun champ because he autoattacks a lot (his passive is literally he gets two autos after he casts an ability) while still being an 'ad caster' type so you have to tread a fine line with him. An important thing about Lucian is 90% of the time in lane if he's dashing into you he's apparently made the call that he's not going to get punished so if you have any sort of CC in lane either as ADC or support now's the time to dunk on him.

enigma i have to say, you definitely belong at that MMR, but i did not realize how bad silver actually was. i feel for you as that was truly something to watch. stop stuttering your last hits, it does nothing, put wards down, and your ADC positioning is complete rear end. practice in a custom game to learn how to CS. godspeed. E: for a very clear example, in a fight near the end you died because you moved forward when a fiddlesticks showed up, separating yourself in an island away from your team closer to the enemy base.

I am not a very good ADC player. I was never good with it in dota either but you are right in terms of positioning. I think this is why I like vlad so much because you can just get in the middle of everyone and pop people. In dota I usually played initiation heroes that started a fight and jumped in it all. I am really out of practice from John and only played him because draven was banned. Think my vlad game showed I can cs when I am familiar with the attack speed. Jhin hits so slow it took me a a while to get it down again. Anyways thanks for watching everyone, hope it was fun. That last game was actually pretty exciting, ended with a nice base race. E: I know I have quirky habits from not wanting to break my dota muscle memory. Either way, I hope me talking through the game gave some light on my thinking. As you can tell, I do not know much from the game. I literally play a few heroes and just grind games. I also try to be the cheer leader for the team so people do not tilt. Anyways I am done for the night. Good night Enigma89 fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Aug 30, 2018 |

(also improve your positioning, just because it is mandatory to play adc does not mean it does not translate to other classes)

For instance, lack of empowered q harass, letting malz slowly walk back into lane unmolested. You could have done a lot more damage if you were more aggressive and could have pushed malz out of lane before he bought

Also buy CDR in Vlad as it’s by far his most important stat, and move your minimap to the right because you didn’t see two ganks that game because it was blocking your vision of the lane In fact just shrink your whole UI to minimum, there’s no reason not to

Please turn on quick-cast too, as someone coming from DotA myself I will never advocate Quick-Cast in DotA but it feels so much better in League. Like, when I turned it on the difference in flow and feel was night and day. DotA is slower in general so you can take the time to manually cast things, League is all twitch reactions and speed so quick-cast is so necessary.

i recorded vods but they weren't that interesting so i'm just going to post a few notes instead VLAD * your laning seemed fine on vlad. that's a heavily advantageous matchup for him - he can sit on the wave, has the push constantly until 9, and it's even after that - but you solokilled him like twice so beat expectations on that front. i'm not an expert on laning minutiae in mid so i don't really know if you could have harassed more. the gank was pretty bad and kindred could have been clearer on her intentions but you should be screaming at her to come at that point so you could at worst get a free back off, force him to take a fairly bad back and miss CS, and buy revolver from it, so eh. * your build is dogshit, deathcap rush is a noob trap because it gives you a relatively small amount of AP on completion, get Hextech Protobelt or Spellbinder (which builds out of one NLR) depending on your first buy and don't get Deathcap until 3rd item at the earliest * vlad's roams are pretty unreliable so lack of activity was a positive overall. you can't roam to a CC-less lane re: yorick * if you're in that sort of matchup where you don't have roam pressure and you're waiting for sidelanes to do what they do to get the game going, you have to pay attention to the push in those sidelanes and sync up with them. if yorick is free-hitting top and your bot lane is getting ganked, don't stand next to raptors wall (you can assume that nobody is top side, and if they are, they can only attack one of you) so just play towards there), and don't keep pushing when yorick clearly has the tower and you've already seen that they're bringing numbers towards you and not yorick JHIN * you took a ton of harass in that lane because you showed up way too late (step away from red buff as you leash and take the short route to lane, you or your support should be sitting on the tribush for level 1 anyway) and then positioned in such a manner that they both got to unload on you for free over and over. the entire objective of most lanes with x ad carry and an ap mage like fiddle is to pincer you and take advantage of the fact that, for one reason or another, you can't move back before they unload a bunch of abilities on you. you want to position towards wherever the most open space is, most likely towards the southern wall. * your laning being passive on jhin is generally a very bad thing for solo queue in particular - jhin's entire thing is that he has the damage and CC to make kill lanes. however, jhin-rakan is one of the lanes where the jhin is expected to do the least in terms of setting things up, and your duo support was generally the one loving up in terms of not being able to execute the thing that your lane does best (engage on them immediately when one of them crosses the halfway point of the lane) by "being at 55% health to start the fight" and "just kinda holding his dick in his hand while kog'maw free-hits 40% of the way up the lane" so whatever. there were a couple of times where you just don't pick up on the nocturne/fiddle bait but i also kinda think that fiddle in particular shouldn't be allowed to get into position for those ults? so whatever * you don't really get how jhin works with regards to his ult, his lane assignment, and fights. in this game in particular, you have an ultra-aggressive 1-3-1 composition. both urgot and zed can jump on someone in a sidelane at any time. so what you need to be doing for pretty much 99% of the mid and late-game is pushing mid as far as is safe, identifying which sidelane is going to imminently be able to produce a productive fight and/or siege, moving through safe jungle/river, and frantically pinging your sidelaner to engage or push so you can swing the fight/siege with your ult. jhin CAN fit your tendency to chase and to be late to fights in mid and late-game (not early), but you still have to have some direction in doing so. GENERAL * if you're going to missing ping, missing ping where you think your wayward laner could be rather than just on the lane itself * get quick cast, buy items with actives and use them (you really cannot play Vlad if you aren't going to make use of Protobelt or Spellbinder) * you seem very passive, but passivity was the order of the day for you in both of those games, so i don't know how consistent that is. what i do know is that you are not making any sort of identification of what you should be doing next in terms of objective play. everything you do is reactive to what basically your teammates are in the process of doing; you're not even at the stage where you're automatically doing x thing that is wrong in this situation, you wait on everything. you should probably just start simple with this: "what does my team want to get next, and who is the person most responsible for getting it?", where the rules are like this: what we want next = T1 > dragon/herald > T2 > baron > T3/inhib. there are a ton of rules for how this priority works out practically, but if in doubt, pick the objective closest to other objectives you might want afterwards. who is the person most responsible for getting it = the person with the most DPS on towers/neutrals = usually the jungler on neutrals and usually the champion with the most AS/AD (i.e. usually the ADC) on towers if it's you you need to be gunning for that objective and asking for help, if it's not you then you need to figure out how you can make your own pressure and then preferably get to that objective and person to help when they're in a position to attack it * play anivia and karthus probably

I missed the stream because thing I had to attend. People are saying your builds are terribad. I understand you come from DOTA where builds are provided in client. I would suggest getting lolwiz or overwolf overlay or one of the multiple malware bitcoin mining programs that scrapes information from OP.GG and puts it on your screem. Alternatively, just grab a build from op.gg on your browser while the game is loading and just do whatever that says for the mastery and first two items.

oh actually on the quick-cast thing, i don't remember how dota does it, but you can set it up in league so you essentially have a modifier button that enables normal cast or vice-versa. and you do want the option to normal-cast on most abilities on most champions you play. so you should probably do that specifically rather than just going to full quick-cast

KirbyKhan posted:I missed the stream because thing I had to attend. My build comes from elite500 and it is called gigalords. It is dark seal, death cap, sorc boots, morello, Mejia, void staff and last item depending on what is going on the game (generally spell binder). It's basically max AP and you can reliably 1 to 2 shot people once you get going but it is a bit risky. I generally go this build 90% of the time. If I am losing my lane horribly then I go CDR. I am surprised by the reaction from the build because all of the vlad spammers on reddit go this build. There are some really high level vlads that run it. In lane, I try to get someone to 400hp and then I can generally just flash e, empowered q and w and they die and they always react with ???. Just writing this as a note to say I did not come up with the build. It was from a high level player. I will post some links.

Enigma89 posted:My build comes from elite500 and it is called gigalords. It is perfectly plausible that some high level Vlads are building it, but it truly is terrible. Like, fine, let's start from a position where we agree that you want to rush as much AP as possible as quickly as possible (you don't actually want to do that as Vlad, but let's start from here). If we assume that items are appropriately costed, it should be a simple conclusion that the item that has a built in "increases your AP by 30%" is over-priced for the amount of AP it gives with zero other items in hand. Its cost is appropriate if you already have 2 other items giving you AP. There will be items which, while having less AP than Deathcap on paper, will increase your damage more, and for less money. Luden's Echo is such an example (note: you really don't actually want to build Luden's, partially because it's overcosted due to its mana component, but I'm just making a point). Rylai's is another example that actually works great on Vlad. It gives more AP than it gives to anyone else, because of your HP -> AP passive, and its passive is actually pretty good on you, because you want extended trades where you can do your rotation multiple times. Spellbinder is another one that works great. That's a lot of AP, with movement speed on top (NB: literally the best stat in the game), and you should know how to use actives from DotA. BUT Seriously, it cannot be overstated how amazing CDR is on Vlad. 20% CDR is basically a flat 25% damage increase if you push your buttons on cooldown. 40% CDR is a 66% increase. You have no mana costs, a fact that distinguishes you from a lot of other champions, you need to abuse that poo poo.
