Re: League of Legends

anyone who plays game modes like that anyways is retarded

oh wait that's all of you LOL

PS: I challenge anyone to write a thesis that utilizes objective proof as to why ARAM / ARAB and to a lesser extent Proving Grounds are viable and fair game modes that provide a fun gaming experience. Go.

anyone who drinks flavored milk like that anyways is retarded

oh wait that's all of you LOL

PS: I challenge anyone to write a thesis that utilizes objective proof as to why chocolate/strawberry and to a lesser extent soy milk are viable and tasty flavors of milk that provide a delicious drinking experience. Go.

Re: League of Legends

Albeit the way you handled that was pretty funny, my point still stands.

Can anyone explain why those modes which are clearly not balanced nor should ever be considered for playing besides for subjective fun? Or is it perhaps the "hipster" idea of playing a game the way it's NOT intended to be played? I just completely fail to see the appeal of it, even though I have participated in it.

It's as if you are playing hide and seek, but the person doesn't close their eyes to count and sees where everyone goes. Perhaps he is having fun, but all the other kids, who know the agreed-upon rules of the game, will proceed to call this player a ****ing dumbass: that's what ARAM/ARAB is: the kid that cheats at hide and seek.

Re: League of Legends

That's some hilarious milk.

Anyways... Because it's fun to play random team comps and own? It's good team fight practice the entire time (quick decision making skills), no last hit minigame, and teaches good/bad positioning and initiation. And it does all of these things quickly.

It's also a hell of a lot less stressful.

You can also do unconventional builds which is super fun.

proving grounds seems more balanced than arab but I still prefer arab. (who said bruisers own arab? it's clearly an ad carry's world) It's also easier to come back in arab unless you can prolong it and have a better comp. But I haven't played a TON of proving grounds aram so whatever.

Comparing it to hide and seek is a bad analogy. Especially since they'd all be cheating at hide and seek together instead of just one kid doing it.

But I can't really think of a better one at the moment...

Re: League of Legends

aram is merely a deviation of the standard game played by a subset of the population complete with its own rules and metagame which said population follows

kind of like how aos was a deviation of the standard starcraft game

which gave rise to dota

which gave rise to lol

etc etc

i dont actually see what the issue is here

Re: League of Legends

No issue here at all, just merely saying I don't see the appeal of a mode where team comp and strategical picking of characters, laning and ganking and the thought of last hitting are absolutely null and void and was challenging people to state as to why they think it's fun in the first place, which blu so far has done the best job of.

Maybe I'm just sheltered and play too many normals, though. "Whatever floats your boat".

I personally only play ARAM if I have a large group of friends, aka no randoms. Putting everyone in a skype call makes for hilarious conversations and we generally all end up cracking up over hilarious plays. I actually think it's a lot of fun and relaxing. Also extremely hectic.

Re: League of Legends

play adam if you want picks and bans to be important

last hitting is just as important in adam/aram/arab if you want to carry

what blu said about using it as a method of training teamfighting skills (which if you ask me is what definitively sets apart mediocre from expert players)

games are shorter and you don't have to deal with asshats instalocking shitty carries like you do in normals (i mean i used to care about winning normals but now when somebody does that i pretty much just troll the living shit out of them)

imo proving grounds doesn't provide for any creative positioning but nobody seems to play arab anymore so whatever

point being, like an isolation file for ffr it distills out certain core aspects of the game and allows you to focus on practicing them

only problem now is that the proving grounds map has brought out swarms of shitty players and most games end up being total derp

1900+ games take forever to fill sadly

Re: League of Legends

Alright so it's basically to practice a) individual positioning b) team dynamics?
because when I played it, it was a chaotic mess, moreso than a coordinated face-off.

I then also assume that the more people you have to play this with which are non-pubs the more fun this is?

Def. willing to give it another try if the skills learned from it can improve my team-fighting performance.
