I forget how long it's been, but Trist also got a quality of life buff on her W some time back which when she's in meta turns out to be huge. That thing used to be janky as gently caress and if you got cc'd during it, it would teleport you back to the point where you jumped from, and I'm pretty sure people could still damage you in the air as if you were standing at the point where you jumped from. Her R and E also got normalized to be the same range as her autos, which means lategame you can tack on that healing debuff from safety as well as punt people further away from you if you're doing it from the maxiumum range.

She might actually be the safest of the ADCs with dashes now instead of the opposite like it used to be.

Kog is still probably stronger in general since he takes less items to come online than Trist and has actual lane bullying power, but he's got zero actual escape other than waddling.

What are your thoughts on AP Trist?

My friend always claims I'm only diamond because I play a lot, and he's silver 4. I looked, he has over 200 days played whereas I'm around 90. Of course, when I give him advice such as "rushing nashors tooth on Tristana is bad" he never listens, so I think it's mostly denial.

EDIT: Wait, no, I'm 81 days. And I've been playing since the first month of beta.

That site is really really horribly wrong for a number of reasons.. it's really nowhere close considering it doesn't know win rates, doesn't know your game lengths, queue times, forever etc

I'm platV and opgg says my mmr is 1628 but the average for my league is 1832. Lolking tells me my lolking score is 1850. What actually gives? I'd love to play more ranked but if opgg has it right then I'll get demoted instantly if I lose right?

no; they both are completely wrong and are just based off leagues;lp;etc of some sort. neither has any bearing on your actual, hidden mmr.

Hexakill queues have died in the last week. I tried to play it a few times in that time span and queues never popped so I'm assuming people got their icons and quit. That's why they rotate free game modes I guess.

Your account will not earn any ranked rewards during the 2014 season following an extensive audit of in-game behavior during your recent League of Legends matches.

The personalized audit analyzed your games for examples of extreme harassment including sexism, homophobia, racism and excessive verbal abuse against other players in your game. At Riot, we do our best to try and encourage positive play and reform players who occasionally lapse into negative behavior. However, the type of activity found on this account is never acceptable within League of Legends in any context. We’ve seen some players believe that retaliation is okay, and we want to be very explicit that it is not.

fyi that site is totally, horribly wrong. it's effectively something like "assume 50% win rate, check normal wins for now, multiply by 30 minutes" or something equally RNG.

there are no tools that can tell you true time played, the data is not sent/available.

1.5k hours and Plat V. I'm not sure how I feel about that.


Oh, that's... kind of lame, actually.

the top list on it also isn't really useful because 1) it's effectively RNG'd information no matter what they do, and 2) the sample size is so small it's like saying gowby is challenger 1 because you have no other people in your list to sort

Servaetes posted:

Eh, well I'm just staring at sheer volume of games won and I'm clocking in around 3.5k normals and probably 500ish ranked games altogether from beta to now. Haven't seen anyone other than Kog with a higher number of normal wins among goons, but I barely play ranked and I'm sure that factors somewhere in there too. And I don't have smurfs or anything because gently caress leveling all over again holy god

Athropos posted:

Here's something I figured out about the new jungle.

I think you need to start at a buff to get a decent loving leash. If I start smite-gromp, the top laner will basically do 2 autos before heading up to his lane, making me take tons of loving damage and in a pathetic position to clear the whole jungle. If I start smiteless blue, then people hang around a lot more and it's easy to just go over to gromp and smite that poo poo. Why do people give such poo poo leashes in solo queue anyways

Play with friends more, don't solo queue, you will hate yourself

if you actually want to bother pulling dumb "stats", get them off lolking. they have the absolute largest sample size bar none, most matches, most data collected, so it's more accurate.

the other sites are all significantly smaller.

NB: none of the sites are accurate against riot's data, because there are hundreds of millions of games played that don't reflect on any stats sites.

[sorry, one of my biggest peeves is misrepresented or bad statistics]

Doesnt a huge portion of the playerbase never touch ranked anyways?

there are significantly more non-ranked than ranked iirc, and there is a huge population -- millions -- outside the nerds that actually care to look themselves up every game, triggering a data crawl, etc.

i would say there is heaps of selection bias on any stat site other than riot themselves with full data stores to work off of simply because the people that have the most / up to date data on any stat site = people that actually care...

loldb says "Data Collected this Month 575,726,035 Matches" - there are orders of magnitude more tham 500m matches in a month on ONE server, much less the 10 they support.
