mushi posted:I've said this before, but solo queue banning strategy is sort of pointless because you have an equal chance that you're banning your teammates out as you are your enemies. So here's what you can do by going to lolking: I usually just ask bans in teamchat and then do what they want. Usually I wind up banning one champion I hate playing against/is OP but I'm more there to keep my team happy

The key takeaway from Ascension is that Nidalee is somehow even MORE frustrating to play against. Whee ! I really like the mode but it kind of comes with the "It'd be 600 times better if certain champions were removed permanently" caveat. I'm thinking Poppy, Akali, Nidalee at least.

Hello guys! Been a while but I still play. Do wanna play more goon normals- do people still hang out on IRC or what? Been grinding ranked a bit for S5. I've entered the most frustrating zone possible right now. When I play mediocre or poorly I've gotten great teammates and win anyway, then I play well and we lose because I couldn't carry. Soooo weird D:

It's almost as if every lane is capable of having a huge impact on a game in different ways But really, there's no "role" that's optimal or best for carrying. Each role can have a impact by knowing when your power peaks are and taking advantage of game situations where you can make a big impact, either for yourself or for your team.

I forgot how awful placement matches are and how frustrating they are when you lose a close one. I wish Riot would just drop me from Plat to Silver so I can at least know what I have to climb to hit my Diamond goal this season. :x Dragongem fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jan 27, 2015 |

3-7 placements, went from Plat II to Gold I. I'm actually okay with this given how stupid most of my placements were. I keep thinking I'll be in Silver after a bad run, but I have the same issue Libertine does where the start always goes badly for me.

Libertine posted:If you aren't in auto attack range on Ziggs, propel yourself forward with a satchel charge and commence assault. I know you're being fecicious but Ziggs' passive is very useful in laning phase, pushing towers, and the "satchel into auto attack" move is a fun move to finish a cleanup on a fleeing hero (where you know the other heroes are dead). That said if you're using it in a teamfight or poking then you get what you deserve.

Libertine posted:My solution to this problem is to keep all the trinkets exactly the same as they are but change the icon to be the shape of a Sword, and call each of them the Yellow Sword Ward, the Red Sweeping Sword, and the Blue Shooting Sword. Riot should spread a rumor that "better vision control" is factored into LP gains and losses and that upgrading your trinket is one easy way to improve it. Boom, everyone buys the upgraded things.

Just once I want to start a season and not wind up in a 7-10 game hole below .500 and have to just grind hard just to get back to .500. I went 3-7 in my promos too, arrgghh.

Yeah, kat's problem isn't her ultimate, it's that her reset mechanics create this weird paradigm where with enough damage and the right circumstances she just points and clicks your team dead with Shunpo and Q, and your counterplay is to get vaporized on .05 seconds. Of course right now the enemy team first picked Kat so I'll trip report when she kills my entire team eight times! Edit: Random new topic but I was wondering this: How do new people possibly even do the jungle without full runes/masteries? It's absolute murder even with runes/masteries. I feel like Riot should just give everyone "jungler" rune and mastery default pages beacuse man the jungle is ridiculously punishment if you don't have "the right" things Dragongem fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Mar 6, 2015 |

hello goons I could use your help Who in a top lane is a good pick against Irelia with the express goal in mind of just not feeding horrendously and being able to contribute? Preferrably easy to play, too. I was forced into top last ranked game and Irelia was taken. I did ok but then she just stomped me once she got TF. (I picked Jarvan because he was one of the few bruisers I feel comfortable with, did really lousy) Dragongem fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Mar 22, 2015 |

Bubble-T posted:I don't know what league you're in but why don't you just play Swain? I think it's a reasonable matchup that becomes good once you have RoA, just hold your Q for if she jumps on you. Well I mostly forgot Swain even exists ungulateman posted:"How cheap are they going to have to make QSS until people realise it's the best item in the game?" - my friend I mean it's really good but keep in mind that if you buy it you are slowing your build down. If you're an ADC and you prioritize you it's that much longer before you become a huge damage dealer.

Also one other thing since I'm here: What does it take to get from plat to diamond? I'm stuck in Plat V and it makes me so frustrated that I will play an S+ tier game one game and win, and then play okay/decent/lousy and then lose the next. Right now I'm just trying to get back to .500 on the season D: What areas do you diamond players think a plat player like me would lack that would prevent me from getting there?

When do you Diamond goons play and all that? I'd love it if you guys could give me some pointers- I'm really struggling in Platinum, even just trying to get back to .500 (seriously being under .500 is super not fun) for the second time this season. I can't seem to figure out why I'm just not good enough. Edit: Or if there's some way to record I can see if I can pull that off. Dragongem fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Apr 12, 2015 |

DarkAvenger211 posted:So I was Gold 1 last season. For this season am I just at the mercy of placement matches or is there a pretty good chance win or lose games that I'll get Gold again? You'll wind up in Gold unless you go like 1-9 and feed awfully or something. Maybe Silver I at absolute worst.

Support is a blast when your team is good, but by everything it's an absolute miserable experience when your solo lanes are derping. Curse you league, I got a winstreak and got dreams of diamond, and now I'm on another losing streak

mistaya posted:I have similar thoughts when I see a yasuo lockin on my team. The worst part is when you go Janna to support the yasuo, line up a perfect 5 man ultimate tornado for him, and he never hits the loving button. I get really nervous when I see off-meta or uncommon picks on the enemy team because I know they are probably savants in playing them. I also get nervous when I see super popular "op" picks in my team because they'll probably suck D:

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 =/ Dragongem fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Jul 4, 2015 |

Libertine posted:I had a bunch of friends try to get into it brand new early last year and they all quit since. I feel like the game is extremely saturated at this point (it is almost six years old) and there are no new players except for people who are like legitimately new to PC Gaming all together who are probably like 10-15 years old. Yeah, I've been hanging around in Silversquid/etc and it seems like most people play in their established groups (which I have a couple) but in Heroes of the Storm I can find random goons for a game likely within 5-10 minutes at worst, usually pretty quickly. That's been the most surprising thing.

Okay so I have been playing again since a loooong break and been trying to play. I could use the advice of goons. What are some good mastery pages to have at this point? Haven't really fiddled around too much, but I have no idea what's good or bad at this juncture. Dragongem fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Dec 21, 2015 |
