Runefaust posted:Remember when Gangplank was the only champion able to deny minions? I remember going solo top with him back before the meta even formed and nothing was better than 1v2 with his denial. For some reason almost nobody actually figured out the cunning counterplay of "just go with it and break his loving tower".

AHH FUGH posted:Can you explain that image for people who don't play Dominion (everyone except you) His team had 0 kills, the enemy team has 65 kills in a 26 minute Dominion game. The other team pretty much just camped them for kills the entire time while trying to prolong the game as much as possible. Also, Dominion is unfun.

No, the 0 and 65 are the health of the Dominion nexuses. The enemy team won with 65 health left in it, meaning a close game. Team kill scores aren't recorded on the end of game screen on Dominion like they are on all the other maps.

SuccinctAndPunchy posted:I'm actually more interested in the Dominion list myself. How the hell do you even play Dominion? Is there a meta? What's the strategies behind this mode? Pick a bottom laner who can apply a high amount of pressure and force more than 1 person to come deal with you. Pick 4 other characters who can teamfight together well, and ideally can swap out with bottom lane if things aren't going so well. You need to be able to continually guess where the other team is going to send its people (no jungle wards), and out maneuver them. Hitting points they're not prepared to defend, keeping enough people in the right places to stop them from taking your points. Some people take this to mean that back-capping is king, but its actually pretty lovely. The team who is best able to attack, capture, and hold 3 points wins, and this will be Bottom + Mid + Top. If you're able to actually capture and hold the enemy's bottom or mid points for any extended period of time its a complete stomp. Dominion is basically non-stop 4v4 teamfights with a SR solo-lane on steroids.

RE; GP chat I love when the enemy picks GP it gives me an excuse to be an rear end in a top hat Pantheon in toplane. Oh you wanted to poke me with your gun, haha my passive blocks it, oh my spear hits almost as hard, yet you don't have my passive so sad. In other news what is up with Kennen these days I haven't seen him since like mid Season 3?

If anyone gives a poo poo you can see the scoreboard here: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1487714112/32042962 We had a large lead early (~150+ points) then lost it as Draven picked up steam and was able to 1v1 anyone on our team, and continually threaten bottom point.

Why the gently caress does everyone use the word overtuned so much? Are people misusing it? What does it specifically mean? Does it mean too good at one specific thing? That's what it sounds like it means. Why is it on every page?

That's what it sounds like it means. Why is it on every page? It usually means that damage/ability/ratio numbers are too high, without necessarily implying there's an actual problem with how an ability actually functions or the overall kit.

BigLeafyTree posted:Isn't overtuned the same thing as overpowered? It's more specific. As stated, it means the abilities and concepts are fine mechanically, but its numbers (on abilities or stats) are too high, more or less. The character just needs to be tweaked to be fixed, rather than overhauled or have aspects of its abilities (besides, again, the numbers) changed or removed entirely.

Robzor McFabulous posted:Convince a team-mate to stand behind it so he steals them instead. This is my favorite thing to do in low elo games where the Blitz doesn't have the sense to bring a friend. I stand behind blue and get intentionally hooked to block the golem steal, throw an ability and a couple of autos on him, and by the time his hook comes back up, my ADC has flashed the wall/run around the outside and we can usually get a kill out of it. My other favorite thing to do when Blitz doesn't have the sense to ward in the buff's spawn is to attack one of the small minions and draw it behind the big golem so that he hooks the small one instead. It's a bit of a trick to get it right but when it works, it's fantastic.
