My usual Twitch build right now is BotRK + hurricane. Twitch gets a lot out of hurricane because you're then spreading his poison to more people at once and able to do even more AOE damage with his E, if there's no tanks or high health meatballs you need to bust through you can skip the bork and go hurricane first item. Getting that AOE ult rolling really does massively boost the amount of damage he can do in a fight.

There's two "standard" builds I see on Twitch nowadays: Stormrazor + IEdge with Hail of Blades, or Manamune + Runaan's with Lethal Tempo. The former spikes hard as poo poo early, while the latter is considerably better for late game fights.

Right now it looks like manamune and iedge. You wouldn't blow up entire teams until hurricane but you'd still hit incredibly hard in a line Servaetes fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Aug 27, 2020 |

Also, what more do I have to do to get my Jhin s-rank chest  This was apparently A+ edit: I just realised most of those numbers are useless because I just had the column, but still 17-0

When you’re an ADC they take points away unless you spam racial slurs, I hope you realize your mistake and correct it.

What's the reason that Quinn doesn't get played bot lane? Is it as simple as that she has a general advantage over melee bruisers, so you might as well give her solo experience in the top lane?

You have to put down wards/controls/kill wards and farm at least 6+ minions cs/d. If you get like 7.5+ it is way easier to get an S rank. Surprised your line didnt get it though!

From what I can tell Quinn's kit just doesn't work well into botlane; she only has two actual damaging abilities, both of which focus on shutting down a single target, and her passive and ult both reward roaming a lot which doesn't work so well for duo botlanes, since it leaves the remaining botlaner vulnerable and lets the enemy push up much faster than toplane. She also doesn't scale as well as other ADCs, a lot of her power is bullying in the early/mid-game and getting the rest of her team ahead; even if you build full Crit on her she just doesn't have the kit to use it properly later on. besides why take her bot lane when you can pick her to bully darius and garen players instead

Eh not as good as Popstars but also i wonder why they didn't just debut this with the animation like they did with Popstars. Will still sell a poo poo ton of skins I guess.

I think the song slaps, but yea i think theres gonna be a lot of disappointment that its just a lyric trailer. Given that they are gonna have a bunch of songs at Worlds this year Im assuming we'll get atleast 1 video out of it.

There's gonna be a lot of music this Worlds, not surprising given it was supposed to be the 10th anniversary. Riot already announced a partnership with UMG to produce six songs for Worlds a week or so ago.

Also came across this on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ih209v/fanart_i_made_spirit_blossom_kindred_in_3d/ Someone made the spirit blossom lamb model in 3d and it totally looks like it could be one of those vtubers. Now I want a jungle streamer to use this as their face cam.

How do I get less bad at remembering to use BoRK? I played an ARAM of Varus today and I don't think my BoRK was on cooldown, ever. It just feels so awkward to pause(?) and bork something from what feels like uncomfortably close, preventing me from doing as much stutter-stepping and taking some unclear amount of time to fire. This is also because I have cancelled my bork usage a million times by using other abilities, walking, and attacking.

Quick cast your items and just learn to spam it. I've been building bork alot on ashe and it just took a couple of matches of actively focusign on cutlass + bork to become second nature. I also swap it to my most used item cast (2) which I normally put pots on. Then in a fight I use it inbetween an auto, or to slow someone if needed.

Jerkface posted:Quick I also swap it to my most used item cast (2) which I normally put pots on. This is something that gets overlooked a lot but having consistent item slot placement helps a ton with building the muscle memory to quickly use items. If you play a lot of champs that use similar builds then try to always put the same item on the same slot, or if you play champs with differing builds try to classify by effect type (I.e. I put gargoyles stone plate and zhonyas on the same key because they are both defensive items.)

I know this complaint is like twelve years old and I'm super late to the party, because I only play League for like a month and blow $10 on skins and poo poo and leave after I've had my fill, but: Good lord I hate how the surrender function kicks in in about enough time for everyone to get all their abilities, which is about what it takes for players to understand how every character on the field works. This cuts both ways, I've had the enemy surrender and wipe out my game early just as much as I've had teammates surrender early when I was writing where we should group up and who we should focus on. Five years of Dota caused me to believe that a surrender option is a good thing, because close wins are more enjoyable than games where you crushed so hard that you can do a touchdown dance right on their spawning podium. But I'd like it a lot more if it only showed up once someone lost a barracks or replicator or whatever it's called. I know complaining on SA will not change anything in League, I just wanted to vent.

Yeah well I'm not going to pretend I know when the right metric is, and I know from experience that people will just leave and be jerks if they really want to leave and can't; but for an unranked game which is where you're going to have a lot of newbies, 15 minutes too early for ragers to be allowed to ff the game. Edit: Maybe it's because I'm in that weird unranked pool where people will get mad if someone leaves their starting position 20 minutes into the game. Generally whether or not my team wins or loses depends on whether everyone else is willing to make plays before the other side does, because I'm sort of trained to expect rotations in 10-12 minutes and the other rookies kinda just want practice last hitting until a tower falls no matter how long that takes. Edit 2: Apparently this is a change that happened around 2017, which explains why I don't remember seeing such early voting when I last experimented with League.

My personal surrender hell is when we're 20-0 down, ff at 15 pops up but someone hits no, then at 19.55 yasuo flash dives, dies, initiates surrender but it fails cos they couldn't wait 5 seconds for the 20 minute mark

You will see a much different mental attitude on giving up in ranked games, even in ranked flex which is "fake ranked". People give up at 15 in 20 in normal games way more often.

I'd say a good third of my wins have had a surrender vote put up and only one of those was a game where we only had a tiny shot at pulling out the win. The dota comparison doesn't work because league snowballs way harder and you can't gank someone to make them lose gold.

They changed it a while back to give piss all for good and exp for early first bloods. I’m pretty sure it’s still the same which makes it even dumber to be pissypants about it. Although I tend to think the game is at an all time high for snowballing out of control. You used to be able to pull games out of spiraling but it’s very hard to do that now.

I've always hated buybacks in dota so it does feel good in league when their super fed hard carry fucks up and you get the kill and can just end because their death timer is so long.
