League of Legends - Trumped up Rock, Paper, Scissors
Well, you had to have been addressing me because I'm AP Mid and that's where she goes.

How that conversation should have gone:
Gordo: "Hey Leish, try Lux out, she's kinda bad ass."
Leisher: "Ok, I'll run with her the first time we break away from this current team comp."
But Gordo's gotta make shit all complicated.
As for last night...
It was fun. I thought it was a perfect way to get back into the swing of things after a break.
Chaotic was on his game, and made some excellent calls. Everyone played very well. Even the goof off game was fun despite the loss. Had we not all switched roles and champs for fun or played it straight, I think we would have easily won.
I don't mind playing with James. Yeah, he's a chatterbox, and yeah, he's still working out the bugs in his game, but he's a good person, so it's ok.
Hopefully, we can play some ranked tonight.

I didn't like the video. I only saw a few of the champs using their abilities like they would in the game. Other than that, it was just fight scenes that didn't reflect how it happens in the game. Ryze doesn't have a knock back. Noc never used his fear. He cast his ult, but didn't zip in for the attack and he never used his Q. I expected to see Annie stun or do her fireball. I wanted to see fiddle fear and life drain TF. I wanted to see Kat use her ult. Trynd's rage doesn't cool down that fast and he doesn't cast it while going in to battle. Unless that was supposed to be his heal. I dunno. It was good animation and stuff, but didn't reflect game play very well. What map has a bunch of stuff falling over on it that you have to dodge?
Just had my first close solo queue game in a very long time. I got Amumu even. I didn't do that well. I kept missing my bandages, so a lot of kills got away. Our team was also very blood thirsty and didn't push well. We had a HUGE gold and kill lead, but could never get control of the game.
Late game, we started dancing around baron. I even started it once and our wards showed the enemy team coming in and we pulled off. Both teams hung around the area for a long time just waiting for something to happen. Then, I saw 4 of them grouping in a bush. I threw my bandage out and caught Kat. I popped my ult while my team rushed in. I'm spamming my spells and taking damage. Watched my health. At 20%, I popped my Zonya's. My team didn't focus real well, but we managed to pull out a win in the fight. Their Thresh support was their lone survivor and we had Ashe and Zed. They pushed top all the way in for the win, killing Zed while he tried to defend top inhibitor. He should have waited at the Nexus turrets.
First fun solo queue game in a long time.

I love that you just ripped a cinematic that Riot created for fun and enjoyment because it technically doesn't represent actual game play.Cakedaddy wrote:I didn't like the video.

The best part is that you're right.
Would it really have been so hard to showcase a team fight in the arena, that just happened to occur at Baron?
Onto last night, that was fun. Chaotic wasn't as on with his calls as the previous night, but we still pulled out some wins. That first game was terrible. I blame Stranger
Best Teemo NA got to make an appearance, which is always a treat for everyone involved.
I still think we need to be far less aggressive early game. I know that I've really been working on it, but as Gordo would say, "Other lanes seemed to be handing the other team lots of kills" in the first game.
Our aoe team comp depends on being able to keep up with or surpass the enemy team's damage. If we allow them to get way ahead in gold via kills, then our team comp is useless.

I gave up the 2 early kills that first game, because Volibear's 33% low-health-regen kept fucking me out of what are usually sure kills, and I didn't adjust my playstyle for it. My bad.Leisher wrote:I still think we need to be far less aggressive early game.

In the end we all ended up with 3-5 kills each, and 6-7 deaths each. We all sucked equally that game.

Well, to quote another Gordonism, "My deaths came late game when they were all fed."GORDON wrote:In the end we all ended up with 3-5 kills each, and 6-7 deaths each.

And actually, that is the truth. Being Keenan, I have to get up close and personal, there's no way around it. My ult means diving directly into the middle of as many enemies as possible, and my E means body checking as many as possible. So if the enemy team is fed, I'm fucked more so with Kennan than with other characters.

This vid shows a lot of the little character abilities that you don't notice the first time, since showing them exactly as they are in-game would look dumb.Cakedaddy wrote:I didn't like the video. I only saw a few of the champs using their abilities like they would in the game.

I already said my bad, and explained what I did wrong that game. You aren't getting a bj out of it, too.
Racist.

I figured that getting promoted was a good time to call it a night because I didn't want us to go lose a game and lose our high.
Great playing to all tonight.

I can play for a bit tonight. Not too late though.
Monday - Thursday, I'm unavailable.
Friday-Sunday, I'm available.
That is my schedule for the foreseeable future.
When I'm on, I'm ready to play. Lately, messaging people is getting me responses, but no games. Not sure how to read when someone says they want to play, then they stop communicating and their status goes "away" or they are playing other Steam games.
