Brinolovania Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 So I'm level 30. Not sure when I want to go play ranked. I'm not necessarily going to do the whole 500 wins before touching it thing, but I'm definitely not ready as of now. Question, it all resets each season right? Is there any downside of playing now just to see where I land before the season ends? It does reset, but your rating in a given season does somewhat affect your MMR for placement matches and stuff in the next season. But given that you'll probably still be in the Bronze-Silver range both now and in S5 unless you become some sort of god, there's not much of a reason to not just play ranked and see what happens.

Shradow Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Heca's no way top tier, but he's still pretty good, he has nice damage and strong disruption with his ulti. I don't care about tiers, when I first started playing I just looked at pictures of all the champions and decided who I'd try based on aesthetics alone. Malphite and Hecarim were two of them. But it's good to know Hecarim's not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 He's in this weird state where he's not BAD per se, but could use a few buffs and tweaks here and there. Though iirc, his passive got buffed a few patches ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hecarim is kind of a weird champion. Could use a rework, new splash art, the works. In other news. Won my first two qualifiers, but I don't want to get cocky. Also, is it just me or do Lucien players tend to be complete tools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☪©h@ÐØÖk.exe☪ Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Haven't played that game since it has started updating, i have played few times and i sucked in it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyur Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Honestly, most bot lane ADCs tend to be complete tools. This is basically how it goes. More often than not the ADCs are like that. Just gotta bot lane with friends that you know are cool with whatever. I'm telling you guys! Play with friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's kinda the reason I hate being Supp. It gets even better when people argue over roles during Champion Selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Rod Pacman do I have you added in League? Also, 4-1 now. Played Support and we just got wrecked. At least it was just being outplayed. No one on our team made any retarded mistakes. edit: 4-2 So, Teemo: 100% win-rate Leona: 0% win-rate I think I'm gonna play Teemo. edit: 4-5 ffs some of these people I've never seen a Tristana play well.

EHN. Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well, you are tilting pretty hard if you went from 4-0 to 4-5. It happens to all of us and it's good it's happened to you early because now you know and can avoid it in the future. The general rule of thumb is if you feel like you are playing badly and you lose 2-3 games in a row, leave it for the day (or extended time period).

Tentacruel Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well, Silver IV. Could be worse I guess. I just wanted to see where I landed. Season is almost over anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Not Bronze, it's all good. Did you win or lose your last game, out of curiosity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hecarim is a win hard, lose hard champion. If youre ahead you become impossible to stop, if youre behind, its a real uphill battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 So, today proved me that everyone shpuld be able to play Orianna to at least decent degree. She's just so insanely strong. Early game you're very safe, you have the ability to farm from long range, and you can easily take Wraith camps dues to your AoE skills, so it's hard to shut you down. You have tons if freedom as to what spells you will be maxing, even the shield is viable if you're vs something like LeBlanc or Zed, to soak up the damage. Mid game, you start to pick up on power. Skirmishes and dragon fights will be happening now, so your Shockwave is at its very strong point, and you have lots of opportunities to use it. You will also start dealing respectable damage around now. Two things worth noting about her ulti: don't be scared to use it to hit a single person. It might secure a lot of kills or save your ass, and the cooldown isn't huge. Late game, Ori is a monster. Shockwave's impact is enormous in 5v5 teamfights, your abilities are on very low cooldowns and hit like a truck. You're great in sieges due to your waveclear. You're near unkillable with the imassive shield and Zhonya's, possibly GA. Your kit gives so much free stats to your team it's crazy. Also fun thing to try out: if you need an "instant" Shockwave (can't afford Command: Attack's travel time) you can ulti while ball is on you and then Flash into enemy team before it explodes. No one sees it coming. Basically, Ori has everyhing you could ask for, she's easy to play at basic level, and is divine when mastered. Plus, due to her utility, she will always be good unless they cut down her damage to laughable levels. IMO, she's the best midlaner out there.

Tentacruel Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Lost it. So 4 wins then full tilt. Also was stuck playing WW in my last game, who I have little experience with. But, it just confirms what I already knew. I need more experience. I have a decent win/loss ratio in normals, but my win total is 113 or something. I'm gonna focus on practicing a champ or two for each role really hard in preperation for s5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 If you're looking for a support to learn, I'd recommend practicing your Leona. I saw you played her a few games, and she's really good, especially in low ELO. Her level 2 all in is crazy, and having cc out the ass is always useful. She's like half the reason I got gold.

Alice Moonflowyr Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Leona is a decent support, but if CC is needed then Morgana is also a very viable support right now. If you can land skillshots, her Q is just a beast. And her ult is insane in teamfights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've already decided on Leona as my supp main. Even bought the pool party skin. Morgana is good but she's banned in almost every game. I've pretty much decided that I'm gonna have about 2, maybe 3 champs for each role and just practice the shit out of each one in normals. There's too little guarantee of getting the role you want in draft pick. So far I've decided: Teemo/Nasus top Kayle/Teemo mid, maybe one more hypercarry Draven/Someone else adc Leona/Maybe Thresh supp Lee Sin/Warwick or Volibear jungle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Morgana is good but she's banned in almost every game. This is the only reason I didn't recommend her first. Morg's super good right now, but you never got to play her in ranked, so. Is Teemo even good mid? I guess if you wanna main him, that works. ADC wise, Cait's an easy one, Jinx is too (although she doesn't have an escape), and Lucian's still really good. You can really do w/e with ADCs, though.

EHN. Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Or play blue build Ez and be a massive kiting machine :3 The only ADC's I ever play are basically Ezreal and Lucian because I prefer casters over sit back and auto attack carries (just realised that rhymes...lol).

Alice Moonflowyr Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 My favorite ADs atm are Twitch and Lucian. Very good assassin-y type ADs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warden Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Personally I think I'm strongest when mid, as I much prefer using casters like Karthus and Malzahar to blow people away. It truly is fun watching even Yasuo squirm when his shield gets blown on Malz' Null Zone. As for my set-up, I'm like this: Top: Teemo/Theoretical aggresive Taric Mid: Malzahar/Karthus ADC: Miss Whoretune/Might wanna try Jinx Supp: Zilean/Taric Jungle: I'm terrible at it, but Nocturne/Shaco I need a lot more experience jungling honestly.
