Man, Panth is annoying to lane against. I only realized tonight that he stuns you as soon as he clicks to do his short leap, not when he lands. It makes doing any harass back really tough.

Sorry, but you saw that wrong. His stun only triggers when he lands. It can be flashed out of and will do nothing. He also can be knocked back/up during the flight and the stun will not trigger.

Here’s what I’m always confused about with that statement:

Is it the tooltip that gives you the info, or did you test it in game with someone else and empirically measure the damage dealt? I’d think the 2nd would be far more definitive than a (potentially) buggy tooltip, but riot’s never been good at math.

Whooo 1711 ELO, all thanks to Lee Sin :P

I tested it by building the AP and looking at the tooltip, never tried it by testing damage on someone with 0 mr… I can’t imagine it’s buggy though. It’s one of those balance things that doesn’t make sense but Riot needed to do it in order to make the game work. Like CDR not effecting Nidalee’s pounce.

Might be worth testing in a custom game - sometimes programmers round numbers for tooltips to make them not look like 3.9987%. Given the tooltip states two different things, it’s worth seeing if damage is whole numbers or not - I know you often buy elixers to ā€œbumpā€ your damage up 1%, but if you didn’t need to, it might be better.

Keep getting dragged into premades with 1 or 2 lvl30 people that seem to play worse than me, if that was possible.

Matchmaking is done based on skill and not on level.

Is that why when i queued with you and pogo the other day, we lost?

:p

I have noticed that when we turn the AC off in my apartment, I get more random game crashes than when it is on. This led me to believe maybe Riot was overclocking my computer a little bit.

So I got a temp monitor for my compy and sure enough when I was running LoL i would end up 15ish degrees higher than when I ran Mass Effect, WoW etc.

With this information, I went to the store and bought some compressed gas, and my computer is much much much happier. I can play Amumu again! (He and Olaf were the worst offenders for freezing, followed by Sona)

I am soo happy.

I remember it showing up in patch notes at some point when they were nerfing Mumumu. This was back when everyone was banning him after they noticed with his crying and ult he could kill an entire team by himself with some AP, so it might’ve been sometime last year.

On my 4th game as Yorick today and only ONE has had a ranged AD carry on our team, sigh. At least we’ve won the first three, let’s see how number 4 goes.

PA LoL thread is starting to rave up about the new Yorrick and his jungle capabilities.

I can say that via tooltip atm, at 270 AP, Amumu has +1%, I popped an elixir to go to 310 AP and had +2%. Still not sure if that is hard or not. Next game I will try to pop an elixir while crying on dragon and see if my periodic damage changes. I am leaning towards it not because anecdotally, our team fights were going even and once I hit 310 AP we aced them.

Therlun, maybe it is my latency from NZ, but I couldn’t move while Panth was mid leap, couldn’t eve click Corki’s W and see the path light up. It would be good to practice some mid games to see what was happening precisely, but it was bad enough that after a couple of jumps I had to ensure I stayed far enough back to ensure he ate some tower if he tried it.

Good panths don’t mind eating towers, as the first shot will be blocked.

Yup. That was also very annoying.

What an awful string of games last night, ugh.

Kayle+Amumu in bot lane, why did nobody speak up about that shit.

Calistas, if you play Alistar you gotta grow some balls and flash into the team once in a while and punt a carry toward us or something, or headbutt Xin away or something.

I wish I had played HoN more. I did a practice game with Silhouette and so far it’s obvious just how more interesting HoN’s abilities and items are than LoL. Silhouette herself is cooler, more original, and has deeper gameplay mechanics than Akali and LeBlanc combined:

Hmm, my EU login doesn’t even tell me how long the queue wait time is.

Probay true - found it hard to find the right time, at least that I could tell. Will keep practicing!
