Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

We do games more like customs where we all play each other and whatnot. Normal Queue is usually a roflstomp, if a random'd teammate or two are able to do their basic duties. In ranked, it seemed that most people were just miserable all the time. :/

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

What's difference between normal(draft) and ranked? It's the same thing, same way to play, same trolls... Lol, also its more like that time, since new players(100 normal vit) play ranked to try to get elise or something. Hue

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

i used to think that way until i really sat down and grinded ranked

it's not the same. at all. blind/draft are more of a jokingly, more casual way to play league of legends. it is just a game so don't get me wrong; i'm not making this game sound "sportsman-like". I'm just saying that the people who want to make their way to the top as in the people that really care about their elo are going to be up in mid/high plat. this game is not about if "you can beat a plat 1 player", because i beat a diamond 3 in mid lane on a ranked 5s team.

elo represents how much you can carry 4 other people. ultimately that revolves around your own mechanics on your lane and your decision making. some people have really bad decision making but superior mechanics while some have really good decision making but bad mechanics. the goal is to have both and thats what separates challenger from diamond, diamond from plat, plat from gold, etc

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

Im going to use this from now on.

Ranked is just a whole different game, And its very frustrating to play in. Dont go into it if your going to get mad. Winning or losing is not up to you.

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

True, that's why I said '' this time '' well there's people that dislike playing ranked and play more normal game, and if you play 5v5 with friends it's not very easy to win against enemy team.

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

it also depends on time of day btw

blind pick: usually trolly
blind pick after say, 11PM PST: less trolly, all the kids are going to sleep

draft pick: actually more serious, regardless of hour

ranked: pretty serious most of time, but also depends on your division/MMR
ranked after midnight PST: way, way less trolly

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

btw those are arbitrary hours that i picked but the later it is, the less trolly people get

from my experience

Well said by the way, makes a ton of sense

Re: League of Legends [v2]

good luck !!

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

u ever come across a champ that just doesnt make sense to you

i love my first 2 melee AD mids, zed and khazix (even after their reworks), but i recently got talon and ???

i dont get this champion

when i play against decent talons they make him look totally viable, but when i play him i just dont do damage then die
im doing his combo properly (yes i know to AA then Q tiamat reset and all that shit and im not missing Ws), im building properly as far as i can tell (tiamat, brutalizer, hexdrinker if needed, LW, really basic stuff)
i just dont get how the champ is supposed to lane without just like, dying ._.
am i just fundamentally fucking up his positioning or something? do i have to play like way more of a bitch than i think i do (im already giving up lots of the ranged creeps early on usually) against anyone ranged? idk maaaan this champ

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

lol Diamond 1 Ezreal was pretty trash, p much cheesed him with full AP support Fiddle and op as fuck Caitlyn

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

u play him vs people who don't have consistent poke & can't react quickly

ex. veigar, anivia

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

that... actually makes a shitton of sense

i'll be more careful who i pick him into


also after looking at a replay, i am not reliably getting BOTH parts of W and R and i think im losing a huge part of his combo damage from that
i dont position properly to get the return of W or the return of R to also hit them, gonna have to learn that positioning
part of my problem is that E puts you right behind them, like butthumpingly close, and it's hard to get the return of W because they can just walk the other way after you throw it
i mean i guess you can wait to throw W so they cant juke the return trip as easily, but then you miss out on your passive...
not getting return on R is probably just me not doubletapping it for the fast return >_< not used to that

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

Honestly I just go for a q focused build and that usually seems to work fine. Jump in, w-q, ult as they run away from their team. Usually they make it far enough away that you're safe after popping out of your stealth.

Get cleaver triforce bt lw and ga, just in case. I was also toying with the idea of iceborn, because of his passive, but it's probably more of a situational thing/not worth the money compared to triforce.

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

double locket op?

Re: League of Legends [v2]
 

I remember when I got Talon forever ago. I can't use him very effectively either, but the guide I followed said that while it's recommended to max W first, if you can't hit it reliably you're better off just maxing Q first. Also, if you're wondering why people always say Talon is THE counter to Kass, it's because his silence outranges Kass' silence (and he does physical instead of magical damage). That guy tries to poke you and you can now let loose your combo on him before he can send his silence out.

The silliest build on Talon is boots and five Bloodthirsters (Last Whisper only needed if they build lots of armor). Not only do you nuke any squishy carry that gets within range, you can lifesteal half your health back in no time at all, which is great for right after your combo when everyone else tries to kill you. Not recommended for ranked play, but if you're checking him out in normals and get a nice lead, try it out.
