I once spectated a ranked game where a Spirit Guard Udyr in bear stance, a Volibear, and Tibbers were standing in a perfect line facing the other team's inhib turret. Neat!
Two lovely games tonight, awesome teamwork in both of them. Qualified for another Silver 3 promo series T.T
I got killed by a Garen ult today. If it hasn't happened to you, I highly recommend it. Wear headphones and turn up the bass.
Yeah, I'm happy with his VU, that part especially. So cool.
His new icon makes him look like he has a mental deficiency.
Talith would be proud of me. Played my 2nd and 3rd dominion matches ever tonight (both wins). Tristana in both, had no idea what I was doing really. Got first place in first game, 4th in second. Still have no idea what was happening.
The other day I played with a Vayne on TT who asked us if we wanted him to take his full AD page or full crit chance page. I checked, those were in fact the only two pages he had. Yeah, we lost...
From now on I'm calling Sejuani the Juggernaut because
I'M
UNSTOPPABLE
Edit: Feel like I made a lot of great calls this game. I didn't really want to gank for bot lane (who were a duo queue) early because a bad fight could be the game if Twitch got some early kills. Fortunately, Kayle obliged me by being incredibly aggressive in lane and hanging around at low HP, so she (and J4) were our first 3 kills of which I got two. Picked up another kill top when Darius ever so politely engaged on GP with me waiting right there in the river bush. 4-1 overall and I'm 3-0.
Varus did about 10k dmg to champions, I did about 20k and Zyra did almost 40k. She does an amazing amount of damage if she gets some AP and of course her CC is insane.
The last teamfight of the game, we had Baron and were poking them under their mid inhib tower. Varus wandered a little to far in and got Thresh hooked; Thresh flew to him, Darius flashed forward and J4 jumped on him a half second later. I waited until all 3 enemy champs were on top of him before throwing my R and Zyra immediately followed up with her R. I Q'd in and hit Randuins + Locket and we swept the floor with them. Varus walked away with 80% hp, lol. We were way ahead in gold and had Baron so it wasn't exactly a fair fight but I was really proud of the chain CC.
Remember they're basically the same skill as you, regardless of what color is next to their name. I wouldn't look up these things if it's going to get into your head. Though it looks like it didn't
Duo Que throws the whole "equivalent skill level" equation out of whack though, doesn't it? The average is good across all 10 players but you get higher highs and lower lows.
If i was Ori, i would push the wave and trade auto attack harass to stop that. Basically i would force you to walk around my creep wave in order to land that charm. If you can do that without me harasssing you too low then well, good on you. But given that the CDR on Ori's aoe clear is lower than Ahri's [even at level 1], and how Ori has a stronger push due to auto attack bonus damage i have a hard time seeing how Ahri could consistently force the issue.
Balls deep flash charm at level 2 while praying for your jungler being psychic and showing up to help!
Why can't you just ask the jungler to help you?
Because the jungler is pre-6 warwick and can't do much of anything. (also, because I am not communicative enough).
Yes, the jungle Warwick is a concern.
It is almost worth it to dodge that game - not jungle shaco levels, but close.
I had a Jungle WW in my last promo game, making the 2nd one I've seen recently. As expected, he sucked as a jungler. It's WW. What can he do but clear camps, and come into lane where all he has is his E till 6. But both of them turned into great assets in team fights and at split pushing. I'm not sure what his lane matchups are like, so maybe you have to farm jungle, but I wonder if the items really helped him its just nobody plays him.

I don't remember ever winning with jungle WW on my team or losing to one on theird. lolking says he has above 50% win rate even in ranked, so I don't it.

There are certain champions, like Udyr, that can punish you for picking a certain composition. Udyr excels against champions that have no innate penetration, % HP damage, CC, mobility. Anyone that can't chase him, do enough sustained damage to kill him through his shields and leech, or escape him is going to have a bad time. Varus can't run away or duel him unless he gets ahead. Immobile burst mids like Brand typically won't kill him within a combo, meaning Udyr can kill them easily with his laner.
However, if he's shown early he's very easy to pick against. Lissandra with penetration dumpsters him. Blue or Triforce Ez can kite him forever. Ashe does very well against him with a proper team around her and good vision to avoid getting flanked. Anyone with a leap can jump over a wall and ruin his chase day.
Just because you might have had a shitty team composition to deal with him or he got ahead early ganking lanes that overextended or didn't ward (it's not easy to gank on Udyr) doesn't mean he's any good or needs nerfing.
Speaking as someone whose highest played jungler this season is Udyr and who I am only even on (ignore my stats, there's a TT game in there), yeah, Udyr isn't vaguely OP. I'm not even sure he's even 'good' unless your name is Trick2g.
Udyr hates teams with lots of CC or good constant slows to kite him. Udyr also doesn't work unless his team has a lot of chase to buff his speed or lots of CC to lock things down so he can start the chase. If Udyr is your team's only vaguely durable frontliner, your team's probably fucked unless he got real ahead.
Well if I keep this up I at the very least won't be in silver 5 anymore (Was placed with a mix of Silver, bronze, and golds in this game)
Won again with eve and got +25 LP for the win. Biggest gain i've ever gotten.

Why can't you just ask the jungler to help you? do it and then blame the jungler for not being psychic?

Does the way we refer to turrets seem clunky to anyone else? Top outer turret, bottom inhibitor turret, etc?
Proposal: top, mid, and bot lane turrets are T, M, and B, respectively. The distances are 1, 2, 3 in order of being taken. So top outer turret becomes T1. Bottom inhibitor turret becomes B3.
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

Need a little advice on dealing with Trynd. Had an especially tough game last night where the Trynd stacked BTs and destroyed us. And this seems to be a trend whenever I face a Trynd. You can't ignore him cause he does a shit ton of damage. But you'll get yelled at non stop if you focus him and blow shit to stop him cause he still gets free unkillable time.
Now, back in the olden tymes of longe longe ago. You would simply exhaust him when he went into endless rage and that at least dealt with that. But I guess they changed exhaust at some point? Cause I exhausted that dude almost every team fight for endless rage and it seemed to do jack and shit.
Is Trynd just a catch 22 of having to blow multiple CCs on him to keep him from obliterating your team?
I was trying to sketch out some redesigned Caitlyn costumes because I'd love to try and cosplay her but can't endorse the current costume. This artist has done my work for me, I think.
Now, can I actually go out and buy fabric, or am I going to be too busy playing LoL to spend a lot of time sewing :P

If they clean up a couple of the animation delays or ratchet his passive back up a smidge, he'd be in a really good spot too

Queued with a Seeding + Bronze 2 duo, a Silver 4 and a Silver 3. What on earth, Riot. I suppose the other team is going to have a pair of Diamonds.
Edit: Enemy team is Bronze 3, Silver 5, Silver 4, Silver 3, Gold 5. Seems legit.
Edit x2: Here is my ADC's runepage.
