If you want to actually ENJOY playing LoL, don't play solo queue. EVER

This... The only times I consistently gain elo are when I duoqueue with my friend. I main AD and he pseudo-mains support so it works really well. Also, solo queue is so full of trolls and flamers that it's painful.

Re: League of Legends

You could probably get away with soloqueueing eventually, but you've gotta get your rating up first. Either have a really strong duo bot comp with a friend or try to take both mid and jungle so you can effectively sway all three lanes into your favor. Going it alone will likely end in frustration no matter how well you play.

In other news, I've got an acquaintance that plays, possibly the worst player I've ever seen. Tries to get my boyfriend to play ranked with him, I won't even play normals with the kid myself. An example of his average game kd is like X-XX-X. His cs is rarely triple digit, no matter how long the game is. Saw his ranked matches and died laughing, he had a Mundo game where I'm pretty sure he jungled (just cuz I've never seen him lane Mundo) and somehow managed to only get 18cs while going 2-10-3. Best part of it is I've tried to tell him where to improve and he just tells me I have a god complex and ignores me lol.

Re: League of Legends

So. How bout that Varus. AA crits for 1k at a 2.0 AS. Fun stuff. Black Cleaver actually feels useful, for once.

Early game maybe, I see the normal AD Carry build on Varus
(IE, Berserks, PD, BT, FM, QSS)

Re: League of Legends

I actually haven't had a need for frozen mallet. But yeah the typical build is what I went with, threw in a cleaver because it synergized well, and it really does. Haven't gotten to the end of the build, which is where I normally toss a mallet, I've successfully rolled over every other Varus I've seen and won too quickly, even trying to draw out the match. Not much a fan of qss unless I'm being targetted by a Malz or ww or something.

I toss in the Mallet so I don't die too easily along with the MR from QSS, though I'm starting to realize another build which I am starting to try out.

Berserker, Infinity Edge, Frozen Mallet, Maw of Mal, Banshee's Veil, Phantom Dancer.

It seems like you aren't a glass cannon, doing a decent amount of damage, and surviving a lot of blows (huehue).

Re: League of Legends

I want to play LoL, but I hear from friends that most games require 30-60+ minutes of uninterrupted attention .. something I don't have.

For all you LoL'ers out there, is there a game mode which would better suit a casual gamer? Looking for like ~15 min games.

Dominion, which is like Arathi Basin from WoW. Capture 5 points and don't lose yours :P they last around 15-25 minutes.

Re: League of Legends

And if you really want something more along the lines of just skirmishing a bunch without much care for objectives, probably ARABs, although if the team comps are fair enough they can stretch for a while. I'd say just play Dominion until you got a few hundred games under your belt before starting those though, cuz otherwise you'll likely just dick things up for your team without experience, and ARABs won't be fun if there are only like 10 champ possibilities.


Edit: Also if you start playing be prepared for rage. Dominion suffers less from it because people aren't devoting an hour of their time to something only to have one derpwad ruin it, but they still get plenty mad. The LoL community probably rages more than any community I've seen, including 10 year old Xbox players and raid groups on their 20th wipe.

Re: League of Legends

Varus feels really friggin awkward to play compared to all the other carries. dunno if its his skillset/animations or a bit of both but he just doesn't suit me. :c

Re: League of Legends

Just curious, how the hell did you guys play with him already when he isn't available yet.
