Play Poppy or AP Shaco or some other faceroll champion who you can just fuck somebody's shit up and there's nothing they can do about it. It makes losing fun!

Currently I lose every SR and win every Dominion.

Except I don't really like Dominion. I have a win percentage of like, 80%. Solo queue that makes me some sort of platinum god if it were ranked.

Not sure what there is not to like about siege mode. Extra magic pen, huge range = engage teamfights from safety, murder runners, etc. It's pretty great.

Hell, I play a fucking NASTY Twitch. Because everything works at my Elo.

Twitch is my favourite AD carry. <3

Same here. I'm waiting for the stealth remake with a cautious eye because right now Twitch is what I'd consider "secret low tier" - he's weak, he has problems (a bad ult for one), but he's been out of the spotlight for so damn long people don't realise he's actually not garbage tier and in the wrong hands can outright slaughter entire teams by his lonesome.

I had a good guide for Low Elo Twitch, but it's better if you just follow this guide because it's good shit. Only thing I'll mention is I've been testing going Doran's Ring first on him because it combines health and mana regen - the AP is just a bonus that makes your expunge hit harder. (But just, don't go full AP Twitch, in the end you're still a AD/On-hit carry and you should act like one.)

What level are you? I just got out of a three day spiral into some sweet wins all of the sudden.

Didn't say I didn't like it, I said it was under whelming. In a game that moves this fast, it's very situational. You really need good team coordination to use it effectively, and that rarely happens in randoms. If I was on voice comms with a team a lot, I would love the shit out of it. As it stands now, I mostly get to use it under the safety of my own tower (where it has let me hilariously kill some tower divers) and in those rare well coordinated team fights.

Carnarvon

I love Siege Mode, it's how I know when to ult with Malphite or Q with Morgana.

Rorus Raz

It was this or a Fiddlesticks thread.

Every Fiddlesticks I've ever played with has been a douche...as evidenced by the one I played with earlier today (see last page). Thus, I pretty much hate Fiddlesticks.

Kai_San

I want an all ultimate bravery in house, STAT.

So, did whatever team pick Swain win?

I hope not. Hope no one ever realizes the greatness of Swain.

Anyone want to party up for Summoner's Rift? All I'm getting are Spaniards and Russians who don't speak English, and it's actually kind of lonely. My ID is Das Frolic.

The thing I hate about siege mode is that it doesn't have an impressive sound or graphic. I'm used to the starcraft siege engines. When they root themselves, you know they're going to bring the pain.

I've noticed that lately. What's up with all the Spanish speaking people all hours of the day? Makes team communication...interesting.

Probably a replay.

Oh wait nevermind I'm an idiot: The stream is in re-run mode for IEM. Whelp, they're new to me!

I know a little Latin and some Spanish conjugation, so I can normally get the gist of what they're saying, but the problem is getting them to understand me.

Golden moment: The enemy team had Neko Katarina. I say in all chat "Yo tengo hambre para gato blanca." At least six people responded with "Jejejejejeje".

GnomeTank

Kinda cool they do that though. Not a huge fan of watching LoL, but if I was, I would have missed it because I was watching StarCraft. Nice to know there is a replay loop.

A side effect of being on the same team as Kog'Maw I must say.

edit: but still we must be thankful because it was what tropers call a SADISTIC CHOICE: Swain, or Katarina?

Mei Hikari

Welp

GnomeTank

Every Dominion game I've ever played has gone like that. It's either been a face roll win or a face roll loss.

TIFunkalicious

I pretty much just treat dominion as "Ezreal Sandbox Mode"

Dac Vin

Remember the good saying, if one of your teammates talks about or has a name that has to do with drugs or alcohol you're certain to lose.

Oh yeah, did we mention he was the only uncommon choice of the entire day that did well? All the others failed horribly.

edit: No, Rammus doesn't count.

The Cow King

Yorick's pretty fun.

however team wouldn't group up and push

Botznoy

So i haven't played since.. um Blitzcrank was introduced, Is Jax still viable as a char or is he nerfed to the point of terrybad?

What are you saying? SmokeyMcBongHit420 isn't a good player?!

Jax is nasty if played and item'ed correctly.

zombieinc99

Had a game with some PAers earlier today where I went against a Brand mid as Malz and kind of destroyed him. Now, I usually pick Brand instead of Malz when I play the AP carry in ranked and I was wondering if this is a matchup that favors Malz. Maybe this Brand was just bad, but I felt like even if he hit me with a good amount of pillars I could just kill him whenever he walked into ult range. Also, SPACE AIDS seemed a much better harassment tool than conflagration. I was just wondering if this is something that hasn't caught on yet or if that was just an anomaly.

Also, did my 10 placement matches in ranked: 8 wins/2 loses 8-)
But now I'm afraid matchmaking thinks I'm better than I actually am...

Jax pubstomps harder than Akali, if they have more than 1 AD.
