Mark L:

Is there a group of you guys I could join? I just went 10/4/23 as Orianna and lost, because a player left our team 15 min in. This game is just enormously frustrating due to the constant leavers, feeders, and assholes that fill it.

I’m mjlaufgr in-game, so please feel free to add me. Does it get better when you get to ranked?

A lot of us regulars use the QT3 LoL Steam group and a couple of mumble servers to find and play games, message someone in the group for info

MrCoffee · 2011-08-31T13:41:04.000Z

There is also a Qt3 channel ingame but i dont think that many people use it anymore.

So many people going to be buying it just for the skin.

MrCoffee:

The thought had occurred to me but then it also occurred to me that the cost of the magazine is probably about the same as getting a skin through the store. I wonder what the skin is though.

It probably is cheaper if you don’t have Caitlyn though, as you get her and the skin that way.

Hmm… have to go buy a book anyway… is that the current issue?

Harkonis · 2011-08-31T17:12:06.000Z

I’ll paypal for a code from the mag if anyone can get one for me. Can’t find one anywhere around here. :(

Leavers and Assholes are less frequent as you end up higher level - yes they exist, but you see them less frequently - at least, that ms my experience after playing with a lowby friend for a week and comparing it to my “normal” games.

Lazy Shiftless Bastard:

Then they would have no armor or health items at all and the rest of your team would laugh at them.

If he really wants to, Morde can get pretty close to 350 and still have some health and armor without too much problem, especially with creeping death up. And still have enough damage to hurt the 1000 AP glass cannon.

Not the sort of thing I would normally post in this thread but since I know we have a lot of game development types here, Riot is hiring a lead champion designer and a lead live designer: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1178149

So since I apparently have no idea which characters are considered gimped or not, I’m considering buying Orianna. Is she considered gimped and therefore second tier following her most recent nerfing (which didn’t seem too bad to me, but what do I know)?

Westy · 2011-08-31T20:43:05.000Z

She is the #1 ban right now that I see… expect more nerfs.

My idea for a champion: Chesty LaRue. She has THREE breasts! And a bare midriff! Also she’s a ninja or zombie or something. I dunno. Who cares. Oh, and an elf. The male equivalent of bitches love elves. Riot’s gonna hire the SHIT out of me.

Ugh. The problem with specializing–in my case, solo top tanks and bruisers–is that if I try to branch out it fucking hurts. Been doing a fair amount of ranged AD and some AP this past week or so, and it’s been brutal. Dropped from a 55% win rate to maybe a 35% win rate.

Calistas · 2011-08-31T23:12:08.000Z

I still am not good at AD carries - the challenge of knowing when to autoattack vs when to reposition kills me. Do much better with heroes with burst powers that you use and then run or chase, depending. No need to position all the fight.

Marcus · 2011-08-31T23:34:07.000Z

I am so going to buy that magazine.

Wisbechlad · 2011-09-01T00:53:13.000Z

Had a lololol game as Teemo last night. Started really badly due to being distracted, forgot to buy any starting items, went 0/3/0, curses flying all round from my team

Ended up 18/13/17, with 23k of farm (game went on stupid long, 60 mins or so) and autoattack murderating anything in my way. Helped that the other team’s teemo was a silly build (Hat, void staff, thornmail & malady?)

Best bit was now have enough IP to buy Jarven, tanky deeps here I come!

AP burst has much tighter in-lane margins on health. Catalyst helps.

Thornmail is a weird defensive option on a champ that can blind… Frozen Mallet is his go-to for health items.

TheLastBaron · 2011-09-01T01:43:38.000Z

I expect lots of kids are going to go to the store and steal the code from that magazine, be careful and check before you actually pay money.

Hanacker · 2011-09-01T01:49:19.000Z

Did Udyr’s jungle really not get messed up that much since the last patch? I’ve been too scared to try him, but I’ve been seeing him do okay.
