I must be missing something, because trying this I am getting my rear end kicked. Rengar lives for like a whole five seconds before getting aced (even at silver) so I'm not sure exactly what he's bringing to the table here.

Rengar lives for like a whole five seconds before getting aced (even at silver) so I'm not sure exactly what he's bringing to the table here.  Laughs in Rengar Right, you need a few things for it to work: The point of Rengar is the synergy with his passive and the Wild Origin and how fast he attacks. You use Statikk Shiv to abuse it, and a Guardian Angel. As soon as he dies, he comes back and resumes auto-attacking and proccing insane damage to the entire enemy team. So you need something like Warwick to proc his Origin, and then you combo it with Brawlers who'll be tanking all the damage while Rengar jumps around it. You also toss in a Zeke's on someone else. I personally toss an Ionic on corner Blitz. The enemies never seem to favor attacking Blitz and he procs them like crazy. The guide recommends Cho with Morello but in every match I played a 2* Cho was dying very fast, sometimes without ulting. Sometimes a 2* Cho would die a lot faster than a 1* Blitz, so I ended up favoring Ionic on Blitz. He lives so long that sometimes he deals half the damage and the Rengar does the other half.

They bought out a small indie studio a couple years back that made a game known as Rising Thunder - for a lot of people it was considered pretty cool partially because, especially for a fighting game, it was very easy to learn and had probably one of the better tutorials for fighting games. If even half the people on Rising Thunder are working on what's almost certainly gonna be this League fighting game it should be easy enough to learn comparitively.

So it should definitely be easier to learn. They bought Radiant over 3 years ago at this point though, and they say their new game is still far away from launch so hopefully all that time produces something worthwhile.

Another thing that has the chunk of fighting game Twitter I follow excited is the potential for really really good netcode. Fighting games need tighter netcode than the vast majority of online games, and big studios have been known to completely gently caress it up, even with good solutions like GGPO available. Riot obviously understands the importance of minimizing latency and - and here’s the exciting part- has a better network framework than anyone else making fighting games right now.

Personally I'm finding my TFT joy dying out to several cursed blades and teams frozen by Glacials, I know it's because I'm bad but it's still not very fun to watch in the end. Guess it's time to get on that Rengar train, alternatively OCE as always has a different, entirely unique, garbage meta in every part of League for me to hate.

Don't forget Swain, Yasuo, Anivia, and Kayle! Every tier 5 except MF is stupid powerful and we're getting to them like every game now. Not really a fan I have to say. I won one game with Swain 2, Karthas 2, and Anivia 2 (and 2 Kayle's on the bench). It basically makes the top 4 about who managed to jam the 5s, not who drafted the best overall comp. Which is close to fine because that basically translates to who had enough econ to get high level and roll down enough to get them, but the payoff is too big and wipes out everything that came before. I feel like the rest of the game is pretty solid though. You've got a lot more options now on how to get to top 4. They just have to decide whether to make 5s rare and powerful, or just another tier of units you use late game. Them being both at the moment kinda sucks. Still in awe they buffed Karthas.

You take just as much damage early trying to econ as you did. I often see 1-3 people knocked out before chickens.

I'm convinced Gangplank is actually the best 7th member to a Noble's synergy. Get's Lucian's gunslinger online, only 1 more blademaster unit like Draven or Bork to get the blademaster synergy on and once gangplank has both synergies he is surprisingly damaging, people are probably still in the early mindset that gangplank is a trash unit but far from it. Also helps gets nobles online if you go pirates early and gangplank helps with that.

Granted, they're also incredibly random, but his having blademaster AND gunslinger means he'll be able to dish out a lot of damage with the proper units with him.

Can confirm it is both because you are lower ranked and because OCE. Lower ranked players love the gunslingers. Probably because they're so easy to play if you just roll down. And for whatever reason OCE is infested with gunslingers also up to at least plat. I stopped playing my diamond OCE account because queue times were getting annoying. Even in plat the queue times were pushing 5 minutes at times. NA has much less gunslingers on it even at low ranks and the higher ranks have much better queue times. Definitely recommend an NA (or EUW) account if you can be bothered. The lag's not too bad at all as long as you're using hotkeys (selling by dragging can delay and is a pita).

I mean, obviously it’s because all Australians are bushrangers and pirates at heart, we just want to watch guns go boom and make gold. I’m part of the problem because I love gunslingers, I’m just not a fan of how Cursed Blade seems to activate 75% of the time and on a Gunslinger activates off the extra shots, same as Red buff. Maybe I’ll be better at the game next patch with the Hextech addition helping both Gunslingers late and Blademasters early.

In TFT I think Lucian and Gangplank might be the two strongest early units in the game, Lucian in particular can abuse so many items better then anyone, if it has a on-hit or on-cast damage component he will carry your team for the early game and disable the other teams powerhouses in the late game. Been winning a lot of games by just abusing those two units and going a mix of pirates/gunslingers/blademasters/6 nobles depending on what comes up, basically went from silver to plat overnight abusing how strong guns and blades are with noble synergy. And a special mention to the hilarity of putting two gunblades on Gangplank and watching him tank enemy teams down to 10% and then full heal himself with a barrel detonation and probably applying the noble life on hit.

For those who didn't follow Rising Thunder closely, the big difference between it and other fighters was that most special moves that would normally require rapid inputs (like a Shoryuken) were instead single input cooldowns. Considering how closely it tracks to League's basic gameplay, that style would be a natural fit for a Riot-developed fighter.

After a night of games, it's really getting to me how much of a coin flip Glacial is. Sometimes it's a decent speed bump, sometimes you don't even notice it, and other times it shuts the opponent down for the entire round eat poo poo rear end in a top hat. I just had to smash my Assassin/Ninja team against a guy for 5 consecutive rounds waiting for the dice to land in my favour to both make the AI attack Ashe and also not have all 4 of the Glacials on their team not string stuns til I die

Ok anyone got any tips for this new game mode? I'd managed to avoid the whole auto chess genre for a long time but now it's in League and my usual group of game playing friends have started playing it to the exclusion of everything else and I am loving dogshit at it. Keep getting knocked out and then basically just having to watch everyone else play for like 20 minutes which is the opposite of fun. All the guides I got when I searched while at work today were from when the game first released and were already full of jargon that seemed like you needed to know the genre very well. The search engine I am corporately mandated to use is really crap though so that might be why I was getting served very old guides. The other day I managed to almost pull it back from being the lowest the whole game, my Swain had managed to kill everyone on my mates board but time ran out right when he was about to kill his last guy while Swain was at full health so that was a draw.... that still ended with me dying which was very frustrating and seemed like horseshit to me.

Keep getting knocked out and then basically just having to watch everyone else play for like 20 minutes which is the opposite of fun. econ: economy, when used in tft it usually means "save your money" as every 10 gold gives you 1 income. tribes/synergies: having fiora, lucian, and garen is 3 nobles for instance. noble here denotes a tribe or a synergy. technically they are called origins/classes but nobody says this. people will talk about stuff like "void 3 assassin" which means 3 void units(usually cho gath, kassadin, and kha zix) and three assassins. (lose/win) streak: when you lose or win games in a row you get a bonus income. the lose streak helps you catch up, in addition with tanking your health so you get first pick at the carousel. fast (x): what level to go for as fast as you can. this means saving gold to spend it all on a level up. for instance, fast 4 means you spend 4 gold at the beginning to hit level 4 and field four units. level X/X star: when referring to units, this refers to their star level. i denote this as "2*" or "3*" to save time as a shorthand. please use "X star" instead of "level X" to avoid confusion with the player level. you might also see "bronze/silver/gold" cost/tier: when referring to unit, this refers to how much they cost. high cost units require a higher little legend level to purchase. with that in mind, the best strategy i have so far is to do fast 6 into econ, which means you quickly level up to 6(RUSH through 4 and 5, and save up money until you can spend it all on 6... if you spend all your money you miss out on valuable income gold which will make you get it slower) and then start stockpiling money. until level 6, your goals are to get strong early game units and some rudimentary synergies. i am talking like, 3 nobles, or 2 gunslingers... just petty stuff like that. if you can grab an early 2* unit(3 of one kind), go ahead and do so. by leveling quickly and fielding units you are likely to perform well early game. once you hit level 6, continue building good units that fit your existing synergies while stockpiling money - pick up any good units you see(strong things like chogath, draven, asol, shyvana... but also units that fit your existing synergy. maybe you see a khazix), do not be miserly, but use this time to take stock of what you have on your bench, what you have, and what items you can build. for example, if i have a gnar, and i can make shivs, i am going to gravitate towards a shapeshifter/yordle type of thing. if you have a strong start of gunslingers, if you are close to 6 nobles, if you have a beefy aatrox or something... go ahead and use your existing synergy. if you have a 3* tristana for example who am i to tell you to pivot off gunslingers. just remember to build around what items you have, trying to force a gunslinger carry build with only tank items is not going to be effective. finally, scout the other players out. see what they are doing. if 3 people are trying to build yordles sell that gnar you have and do something else. let them fight in the rat race and deal with whoever emerges king of that hill. there is no reason to gamble with that poo poo when you can take another route and play other stuff. in short, fast 6 and econ, build around your items, and scout to make sure your build is feasible in your game. be patient. do not lose the early game, be unafraid to take some losses in the midgame, and build your ideal lategame strategy based around what you have available and what is on the field. note that i am not diamond and my credentials are only that i have never lost a game since i adopted this style.

Yeah all the tribe and synergy stuff came to me pretty quickly cause that's poo poo I'm used to in games. The economy, picking heroes and knowing when to pivot stuff though, that is very helpful, that feels more like a card game or something which explains why they've all taken to it pretty well while it's basically numberwang to me.
