hey gang, training mode kicks rear end actually. i made a simple drill for adc mechanics which is to spawn 4 dummies in a square, then without using attack move, try to walk around the dummies in a circular motion without breaking the fluidity of the motion(meaning, no dips inward, no moving backwards), while attacking as often as possible. to make it more difficult try not to attack the same dummy twice in a row

I know top 3 counts as a win but it sure doesnt feel like it when you get 3rd place over and over

Top 4 also counts as a win, so at least you weren't the first winner to get knocked out.

I've come around a bit on people doing meme builds on aram as i have finally accepted that 99% of the playerbase doesnt take aram as seriously as i do and thats fine, but people doing objectively worse builds that are also way less fun like ap lucian just for the sake of doing something different still makes me grumble

Fiddlesticks in aram is 100% about throwing silence and getting dork harvest stacks and never ulting once.

Obviously it's a flawed battleground to try it out because it's one lane and few people are building the other champs The Way They're Supposed To, it does give you a hint to whether it works in theory though.

Sexpansion posted:aren't champ stats in ARAM also different? Yeah, a whole lot of "does % more/less damage" and "takes % more/less damage". You'll especially notice it on champions like Sona and Ziggs, who both do 15% less damage. Also some specific things, like Bard getting chime spawns quicker, Gangplank receiving 1 Silver Serpent every second, Nasus getting more stacks*, etc. But if you really want try, say, Rageblade on Rumble once it's the right place! *have fun trying to last-hit minions with 4 other people around Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Nov 1, 2019 |

Sexpansion posted:aren't champ stats in ARAM also different? They have blanket buffs and debuffs that are hidden like 'this champ does 8% more damage/takes 8% less damage and vice versa There is also a 15% damage nerf to any damage from 900+ units away Its ... It's a really weird system that actually works out pretty well balance -wise but the changes really should be reflected in game

That works until your side starts getting pinned and unable to do much, just sitting at the tower getting picked off one by one.

When that happens it means the game is gonna be over in the next 5 minutes so I never am that bothered by it and you can still mess about with builds as money accumulates so quickly, even when losing.

It just doesn't really feel like you can "play" when you're just camping by the tower hoping to not bite it. Like if the enemy has a huge lead and a minor step forward has you 100-0 in .5 seconds. You might not of even fired off a nuke or CC. And it doesn't feel like 5 minutes its not unusual for people in the lead to play super cautious and pad their KDA. ARAM maybe casual but people can still feel like poo poo if one side has all the pokes/hard CC and the other side are super kiteable melee guys with one or two guys having big team ults.

If you aren't just going ape when your cooldowns are up on ARAM you are playing wrong. Worst case the game is over faster, best case you can actually win because snowball is busted

My free skin was the Cho'Gath one. Should I learn him top? I mostly play ADC (Jinx, Kai'Sa, Caitlyn) and Sion. Occasionally I fail at Renekton or Garen.

Cho'gath is fun because you build him tank and you get people who forget what Cho'gath does walking up to you at which point you press R and eat them. Or you wander into the dragon pit and eat that too. If you play Sion you'll definitely find stuff to like about him.

Seriously, far as I'm concerned so long as somebody isn't actively being harmful it's like whatever. Intentionally feeding is obviously right out but if you want to build something wacky go right ahead.

This might be a hard question to answer in text but like does anyone have any ideas why I might be missing Caitlyn traps on like situations where I shouldn't be able to miss? poo poo like leona root, morg root, Naut hook, things that should be brainless I find myself putting it down as soon as I can but the other person just walking away Am I probably just doing it too late, is the hitbox wonky or something? I dunno, I'm trying to place it at the feet of the ingame model but I just feel like I miss so many it's really costing me a ton of damage and loving me over but I don't know of a good way to practice it unless two whole people will join me in practice mode where I can practice like someone getting rooted by the third person and trying to walk away while I trap I thought maybe I could do it with one person and a bot, but yeah it's hard to practice because obviously I can hit them on dummies but I don't know how to get good at it on a difficulty between "training dummy that can't possibly dodge" and "needing two whole other people"

If it's a thresh hook, place it one teemo away from them in the direction of thresh. He yanks on them twice with his q, and if that fails he can flay them. Just place it earlier.

Just place it earlier. that's actually a good tip, thanks, when I was with thresh they were probably pulling them away from my trap if I put it down as soon as they made contact. what about like nautilus, should I wait until he sort of comes together with the target with hook and then try to plant it when he uses passive? I had some other questions about placement too, like, champs that dash towards you like Lee, if you put your trap anywhere between you and he Q's to you, does it go off because he isn't blinking over it or does he have to like arrive at you and then stand on it for a bit? Who else, uh, I'm not really sure where Kayn comes out of you after ult either Zed I know you're supposed to place it behind you relative to him but I can never get it to work. I need like a big list of where to put all the traps to interact with various stuff like this cause I feel like I'm losing a lot of damage by not getting the traps off

Caitlyn's E has a 1.1s arming time, so you typically have to place it in advance of a CC combo landing. In the case of someone like Leona, for example, you generally need to place the trap as soon as Zenith Blade lands for it to find any purchase after.Stefan Prodan posted:I had some other questions about placement too, like, champs that dash towards you like Lee, if you put your trap anywhere between you and he Q's to you, does it go off because he isn't blinking over it or does he have to like arrive at you and then stand on it for a bit? Who else, uh, I'm not really sure where Kayn comes out of you after ult either Lee will get rooted if the path of his Q takes him over an armed trap. Note, however, that it will not stop his dash. The only thing that stops a champion after they've started a dash is forced movement (like knockups) or abilities with inbuilt dash cancels like Poppy W, Jinx W, or Veigar E. Kayn is basically impossible to predict, as he can choose the direction he wants to exit from, so your best bet is placing it in front of your current path to force him off to the side and make it easier to kite him. For Zed, as mentioned, E takes 1.1s to arm, so you need to either put the trap down a split second before Zed actually hits R and then position his arrival point over it, or you need to put it down the instant Zed hits R and then linger so that his landing point (your immediate back) is still on the trap.

If they’re jumping on you throw it on yourself and they’ll probably get caught enough to walk away. Then Lee will hit his dash again because every enemy Lee Sin is a pro.
