Yes, but by whom? No artist link?
Probably posted by someone that stole it without crediting the source. *sigh*
EDIT: Wait, did you think I thought that it was official Riot art? Heh.

WUT.
REALLY.
I have to play ranked against CLG Saint Vicious? Are you for real reals?!?!
He rocked us too. . . . In other news, I'm about to graduate to the Silver tear! I've got 70 points atm, so only about 5 or so more games and I've got Silver status. One thing I've learned in all the ranked games I've played thus far, it's pointless to play with hitlers. . If you can duo with somebody, you've got a much much higher chance of advancing and winning. Met a random tonight in a ranked game who liked my play style, so we duo'd up and ended up rocking a few games to get my score back to normal, I think I'll be playing with him more often. Has class and doesn't trash anybody or make retarded jokes in chat all game long, has voice comms, and knew how to play several roles very proficiently. I think I might have found the final member for TKV, that way we can run 5v5 skirmishes and create an A team and B team.
Also, still waiting on your thoughts for switching the adc and mid AP. . . Nobody commented on that, you were too busy arguing about stupid crap hahaha.
I don't mind trying things. We ran double jungle for a while too. But, there has to be some reason for it. We tried the "Let's throw them off their game" with double jungle. I don't think switching ADC with AP mid covers "throwing them off their game". I guess it COULD get our ADC fed faster as they get all the XP now. But, it makes them more vulnerable to ganks as they have no support. And really, the ADC gets power from items instead of levels. Where, the AP mid gets their power from spells as well as items. So, they need both. They'd be losing their level advantage sharing XP with the support.
I dunno. I don't see where ADC mid is radical enough to mean much.
Speaking of double jungle, I wonder how much better it would be with Sej instead of Noc/Rengar like we used to run.
Move the ADC to mid, so they aren't laning against two people. An ADC SHOULD be able to lane against an AP mid. Top is top. Bottom would have to be a bruiser as well though. We lose our support, but the jungle people could share warding and support items. Not sure what champ would work well bottom against two enemies though. It's not enough to just keep them from killing your turret. You'd have to be able to farm and keep them from farming freely as well. A ranged bruiser of some kind. I dunno. But double jungle was fun.

Not for nothing, but we ran ADC mid quite a few times in the past. I always did it with MF. I'm pretty sure we've seen Ashe in mid before too.
ADC mid used to be pretty common even for the pros.
I had great success in the laning phase, and we figured out that most AP mids have AP protection runes as they expect to face an AP champ, not an ADC. Thus I could do more damage. They also routinely got hit HARD by my Q, which would force them way back since they can't front line. That also cut them off from farm. It was common for me to send an AP packing to another lane.
The problem was our win rate wasn't great. Good teams would adjust. I'd get ganked often. Other lanes wouldn't hold up their end. Etc. Perhaps we'd be better at it now though?
As for double jungle, what about a Sej/Taric combo? Why Taric? Because of his stun. (Sion would work too or Nasus and his slow.) We could be ultra aggressive early on, and probably get a lot of kills. The key would be to not let up. Just continue pressing the whole game.

This is basically the reason you don't see AD's in a solo lane. They need items, more than levels. Where as AP's need levels moreso than items.Cakedaddy wrote:the ADC gets power from items instead of levels. Where, the AP mid gets their power from spells as well as items. So, they need both.

The AD's usually don't have as good of escapabilities or cc. And AP's would lose out on valuable XP by splitting it with support.
This is why assasin solo lanes and casters like Pantheon and Chogath work solo lane. They dole out damage with thier abilities and not thier autoattacks. so levels help them more. It doesn't matter if thier abilites scale off of AD or AP. But AP items are generally cheaper than AD so AP solo lanes are ideal because your abilities deal the damage, you get higher in levels faster and your items are cheaper than an AD.
Not that running and AD in mid can't work because anything can happen at bronze and silver level. But if you want to build a team the most effiecient way you don't generally send an AD to solo a lane, and an AP to split valuable XP.
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
I'm out tonight, but will be on tomorrow night.
Saw Cognito1 online for the first time in a while last night, but haven't seen riflescout or chaotic since the weekend.
Played a single game as Lucian on the PBE yesterday, and so far, his kit doesn't impress me. His ult is going to be either devastating or we'll be laughing at how badly the person playing him misses.
The biggest key to him: come at him from different directions. Don't group up, and he's worthless.

Actually I lied. I've finally gotten around to assembling my ranked team, tonight is going to be our pilot game (first game together).
**(XTRAKT) Dead Bloom vs. (TKV) The Knights of Vindication**
You guys better be on, and you better bring your A game ;D we've all got established roles, and will be warmed up and ready to take you guys head on. This should be fun!

Hopefully tomorrow both teams can get their full roster online to play a real match-up! Was still fun none the less, had a lot of fun despite all the unnecessary trash talk from the "Classy, we don't talk trash ever" Cakedaddy. . . hahah Soon his pride and cockiness will put him flat on his back =p
Good games, well played gentlemen.
