Something like a week ago, somebody posted a website that not only provided stats about a given game, but had a map that showed where the players were at any given time. Can anyone remember what website that was? :shobon:

You may be thinking of Riot's own new match history. It doesn't show where players are at any given time but it does have a map of where all the kills were (there's a button at the end of all your games that will take you to this).

The website I'm thinking of was even more in depth than that. You could choose any time, down to tens of seconds and it would show you were they were on the map. It showed you how many times a spell was cast, how much damage it did, who it hit etc. It was really in depth and I really wish I'd saved the link :(

Graves has excellent waveclear. He's also ranged. Dunno, I could never make melee mids work for me so maybe I'm biased on that view.

For top lane... there's Lissandra, Ryze, Annie :laugh:, Swain, and Warwick. I've seen Akali top a few times but I can't figure out why. I wonder if Karma could work top lane, she used to be overwhelmingly strong in the 1v1 lane in Dominion thanks to Mantra link.

Karma works great top lane, in my experience. She's totally brutal vs melee.

Also, somebody just drophacked an ARAM I was in. I can't really understand why you'd drophack the explicitly for-fun mode :(

What's the consensus on Gnar? He seems kind of lovely. His level 6 spike is pretty insane but after that he just sort of goes kaput.

He's a lot like Yasuo, in that if you can play him well he's really good, but if you can only play him to even slightly below the required level, his effectiveness falls off a cliff.
This Gnar video was posted earlier, but owns, so I'll post it again:

If I'm reading right assassins will destroy him, it sounds like he needs to go into a channeling-like state to command his units.

Where are you getting that from? It seems pretty simple to me - the sand soldiers essentially just act as an increased auto-attack range for him (although we don't know what kind of damage they do or how much).

His Q does seem to have quite a brutally long animation on it though, but without watching someone play him we can't know how restrictive it is with letting you cancel out of it.

EDIT: Didn't want to make a new post for this quick question. Scenario: A Zed ults you, but you Exhaust him and then kill him before the mark goes off. When the mark does go off, does the damage reduction from Exhaust still apply?
Uh, yes and no. So, the mark damage is equal to the damage he deals while the mark debuff is on you, yeah. So if you Exhaust him, he does, say, 1k damage reduced to 600 by Exhaust. Exhaust then runs out, but he does no more damage to you. The mark detonation will do (150/210/300 (depending on Zed's ult level) + Zed's AD) damage.

If you can time it right, between Exhaust and CC on Zed, you can force the mark to double dip the Exhaust damage reduction, so using the example above, the mark would do (150 + 50% of his AD) :v:

Can anyone explain the Vi and Riven animation cancels? I think Vi's has something to do with E after aa'ing and Riven's is E/R at the same time but I'm not seeing anything special or flashy happen with either champion when I try it.

Riven's ult has a cast time/animation, but you can cast it during the E dash. This lets you avoid spending 0.5 seconds doing nothing/giving your opponent time to react.

Am I the only one who kinda thinks DJ Sona was supposed to be the ultimate that came out when Udyr's did except they weren't happy with it for whatever reason and decided to make Udyr's visual update an ultimate instead so they could fulfill their promise of getting an ultimate out last year? I mean comparatively, Udyr's skin is really quite poo poo whereas DJ Sona looks like its going to be incredible.

If you think about it, base Udyr is definitely the type of thing they are aiming to update with all these visual reworks, and SGU is basically HD Udyr.

Spirit Guard Udyr didn't come out last year, it came out in July 2013. There was no Ultimate skin last year. I don't find the idea of them delying DJ Sona by over 12 months to be very likely, to be honest, although it was probably planned to come out last year.

I'm curious about this, were you playing ranked? Because in normals while premade stuff can gently caress with mmr a bit, it's not really that big a deal since your e-score isn't on the line. Take what you can learn and move on to the next game. Or set small goals like 'make sure that rear end in a top hat dies' or something.

Getting matched againest a diamond sucks tho, especially early on if you aren't like chatting with them in mumble where they can tell you what you are doing wrong. The hardest part about learning in that kinda stompy lane is you don't really know what you're doing wrong yet.

How would he play ranked before 30?

I figured they didn't but on probuilds tons of people are building both on Rammus

Those are all old games from when Cinderhulk was Juggernaut. Probuilds doesn't really check for this sort of thing - for instance, all of the example games in the "Most Sucessful Players" list for Rammus have him building Spirit of the Ancient Golem, despite the fact that was removed like 6 months ago.

Last page but no one answered: your replays are only saved for like 5 minutes after the game ends, then they are removed. You have to download them in that time - if you forget, or OP.GG is lagging out and asks you to "Wait 100 minutes before refreshing" you're screwed, sorry.
