Did you know, I was THE MOON once!

Yes! You see, one night it turned out the moon had been STOLEN!

The animal people asked ME to take its place as I am so WISE and BRILLIANT!!

That seems to be a problem on my end too.

Or you're like me and spending 20-30 bucks a month for neato skins in a dumb MOBA game is a drop in the bucket because you have a real life grown up job

Hell I spend more on a wine club membership each month and just throw the unopened bottles away once they stack up past a certain point

Maybe they will get away from the "jungler only summoner" that used to be smite and make it a tool that works great for junglers but good for laners as well, maybe make it so you can jungle without a specific jungler?

Hey guys I have been practicing Vlad and I am having fun but not entirely sure I am getting it right. I typically build Wota first although I built an armguard into Wota against a Zed, but I am never sure what I should be building when I am getting ahead. Rylai's seems fine when behind, but his build path doesn't seem obvious to me at all in any situation.

Also I am not sure how laning should be going for me because nobody has been punishing the long CD on my Q at early levels.

I run scaling CDR blues when I play vlad and usually go wota into armguard / sorc shoes into deathcap/void/spirit visage or abyssal. If you get really far ahead just go death cap if not go void first. Lots of magic damage to deal with then go for abyssal void probably.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

For him to get picked more, he needs to do more. That is not going to happen with his current kit and numbers, unless full AD compositions are going to be a thing. So the waiting for the eventual Taric rework continues.

ASK ME ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE NEKOMIMI CLIFFYB
I think the lack of popularity is due to him both being fairly boring to play comparatively and also having a fairly outdated character model.

That said, while full AD is preferable, Taric has enough usefulness outside of his W's aura to function against a 3AP/2AD team. His healing is 2nd only to Soraka and paired with FotM can give any one target an effective 500-600 HP. His damage is also hard to ignore, if you let him weave his spells on you then the passive armor-ratio sheen adds up quick.

But without any mobility, displacements, or play maker moves he's probably just not that sought after. The only reason I play Taric over Janna is because E>Auto>R>Auto>W>ignite is a great way to have fun watching a health bar melt.

Sometimes I think I play too much Tryndamere in ranked.



But then I'm like "Nah."



I am sad that my LP gains in plat 3 died down a bit, though. My first couple of games back from holiday were pretty rough and gains tanked from 26 to that. (It was warranted, I got 111 CS in 20 minutes one game, gross.)

I cheated though, it's ARAM. But you didn't specify so I still win.

EDIT: Also it ended before full build so that's all you get.

I was having fun playing support with Soraka, then I bought Sona.

Sona is like all the fun parts of playing soraka, but you heal your dumbass teammates with mana instead of with health so when they run out and almost kill themselves, you don't have to bleed yourself to make up for their mistakes. I love it.

Hey goons, how do you stop tilting in the middle of a game? I have a serious problem where I get into a ranked game, things start losing and I start sucking, and then I want to yell at myself and profusely apologize. Sometimes I rage at other players but mostly I just get mad at myself for making mistakes and losing the game.

After I lose that game I feel awful and am smart enough to take a break (usually until tomorrow, until the cycle repeats) but I just don't know how to control myself in the moment. My emotions just drive me nuts and I wish I was able to be chill like most people.

Like I really want to make a push for diamond (in plat III atm) this season but I keep playing really swingy (win a few, lose a few, can't get consistent), and I just really don't know how to stay calm during a game. The worst games are the ones where things start going wrong from the first ten minutes.

Has anyone else gone through this, and any tips for staying calm? I'm a little bit better in regular games though sometimes I lose my cool (and then feel awful again afterwards).

What's weirder is that in like any other facet of life (work, personal, etc) people would describe me as a super chill, friendly guy, but I don't get why games just bring this absolute monster out of me =/

Calm down and focus on farming and map control and cede xp/farm/map presence to the enemy if they have a numbers or massive vision advantage. Make them turret dive you or go for a risky play and see if you can stage a comeback off that. Try not to focus on the idiot mistakes of your team mates because you generally aren't going to be able to prevent them. If you're raging in chat to your team stop doing that

Seek psychiatric assistance.

Or realize it's just a game.

E: Or drink. I've been doing that lately when I play and man it means every game is fun.

E2: Also gently caress ending up at 99 LP, makes me sad. On the plus side, back to 23-27 LP gains per win after making myself look bad, whee.

First of all you should not have given up first blood, which I assume involved Lee. You were one of the strongest lane bullies in the game against Twitch. You should have been sending him straight back to the fountain every time he even got in XP range of the creeps. If you were 4-0 with 126 CS at the 14 minute mark when Lee started taking over the game instead of 2-1 with whatever you had then, you could have roamed around the map laying waste to everyone the way Lee did. You could have placed more than 6 wards in a 30 minute game. You could have gone 21/9 instead of taking the lovely defensive mastery tree.
