The only person I really go off on is my brother. He feeds so much I just can’t help it sometimes. I’m not sure he really enjoys playing with me…

Newer people are almost always way too aggressive (I was too) and I really want to rage sometimes but I usually just hold my tongue. I try to be nice about telling people maybe it would be a good idea to stick close to the tower since it’s 2v3 or they’re Sion and Nunu and we’re two melee champs.

I am a dick on the in-game chat to strangers sometimes but I try to be polite in voice chat.

ugh… We had Sion and Twitch last night to my Garen and Ripplez’s Yi. We were raging at each other in no time.

If you’re someone who enjoys watching recorded games check out this epic game that is worth the hour investment:

I wish more people that habitually surrender at 25:00 mins when their team is doing poorly would watch and learn. :)

I admit I’m probably too aggressive, I’ve tried to remind myself of that. I’m sure it will help when I have a better understanding of what each of the heroes looks like and what their generally capable of.

Not sure its really an educational stream, but I found Jedidwag’s pretty entertaining

Just watch the game, it’s pretty awesome, very similar to the last game with chiffy, instead all 3 inhib, they got our mid and bot but they manage to kill both our nexus towers.

though champions like WW or mundo get insanely overpower lategame even if you aren’t building them as DPS, you can see that corki vs ww, Corki basically had no chance whatsoever, flat out % damage > anything in this game.

That was kind of funny to hear from the other lane, especially since Ripplez’s Yi and mx’s Sion were raging at each other in no time the game before that. I forget which game it was, but I loved “Feed me the kills!” “Oh shut up.”

“I died and now I have to catch up, so you have to feed me your kills.”

I don’t remember raging at ripplez. Raging at therlun, maybe, or you, or Jim, but not ripplez

Weren’t you the one laning with him when he decided he was doing too bad in the lane was going to leave you alone and go jungle? Then there was an extended conversation about how waiting for everyone to get to level 5 or 6 before ditching your lane partner was pretty much screwing them, but he was getting his ass kicked in lane so one of you was screwed either way and he was jungling instead.

If I may. . .

I know that I’m still very new at this (level 16 now, and I’ve played ~100 games), and that I still do lots of galling things. I don’t mind suggestions/prodding etc. I understand that in the heat of the battle, people will get more animated when they say things just as a matter of course. I think I’m pretty thick skinned too. But I gots limits.

Lately - and this came up with you once or twice when we laned together but this is by no means limited to you - I’ve had people barking at me to use skills a good bit. Good version of that: you instructing me on when to use Tryst’s “E” on Mundo. I did not know that. I still lack a lot of that specific “this for that situation” type knowledge, and I’ll only learn that playing and learning from you guys.

But sometimes - and this happened with you that one time - I can’t use a skill because it’s on refresh (or worse, I’ve been silenced/stuned, but I’m more looking at the refresh scenario). I don’t mind repeatedly mentioning it, but I probably came off a touch expasperated when I replied that time. Heat of battle and all that. Sometimes -and this doesn’t apply to you at all - people have gotten increasingly exasperated with me in those scenarios. the requests for the skill get more, well I could say excited. Shrill? Yeah, I could say shrill. There are those sorts of troubled sighs sometimes - you know, like “sigh, you are suck a fucking idiot”. Again, this does not apply to you. Alas, my characters are subject to the same laws of physics as everyone else’s. If they don’t have abilities that have alternate cooldown mechanics (like Kog’s artillery), I have to wait just like everybody else. But hey, I bet people asking me to use it more often will make them cooldown more quickly. So maybe I should shut up about that.

What I don’t like at all is the very obviously intended to be criticism commentary like, “don’t feed X, because of stacks”. Yes, I may or may not have just had a stupid death (in one recent situation like this, that was true. But in another, it wasn’t). I do like someone pointing out “X is getting stacks” as a reminder. I know that giving that person more stacks is bad. Saying, after I die, that I’ve just done bad by giving them more stacks is sort of counter productive. I’d much rather the person in question shut the fuck up and keep their own deep insecurities in a cage. Failing that, feel free to call me a dick, and understand that I might respond in kind. This does not apply to you, McKnight; I don’t recall you ever having done this. But, you know, other people have.

I also don’t like having every last action I make criticized (especially repeatedly), whether they were right or wrong. I believe that generally comes from someone wanting to explain why I was wrong, but having to do so in the heat of battle, which is a rather more complicated scenario and it’s much easier to come off the wrong way (or take things the wrong way) in such a scenario.

Peacedog I completely hear where your coming from. To be honest the other night was the pinnacle of my weird sleep deprivation phase and I was really on a wire (read: shouldn’t have been playing LoL). Thing is, the reason I got exasperated is because I consider you one of the crew, and not a “newbie”. This is completely unfair by me and I apologize :)

I immodestly consider myself to be a good teacher and generally good at explaining things to people, I just have to remember that there are still new guys playing with us that need things explained. I guess I’ve just gotten too used to playing with people who instinctively know what we are all going to do, simply from playing with each other for so long (I’m sure there’s a joke to be made there somewhere but I’m honestly too tired to bother ;)

Lunarstorm · 2010-11-18T17:19:39.000Z

I think we’ve all gone through some form of this. I haven’t played with most of you yet, but I have played a handful of games with slantz and his wife. I <3 gaming with both of them and still wince when I recall the commands I was barking out during our matches. Bless them, they didn’t complain (she even went so far to say she appreciated it) but it’s not something I’m proud of.

LoL turns nice guys into assholes! ;)

That was playboy.

That was still pretty funny.

So our last game our qt3 team went 2 and 40. What the Christ, I think I am done with this game.

talsworthy · 2010-11-18T23:29:19.000Z

We had the worst loss ever last night. We were owning, I was trying a new build of 3 Dorans blades for Ashe before going to my usual build and it frankly owned. So we have them down to even no crown towers -and we lost! Got way to free and easy an the team fights.

You’ll notice my stats are unusually good for me - except the deaths side :(

Ultrazen · 2010-11-18T23:50:21.000Z

I personally relish the hazing/witch hunt that will be my noobie initiation into LoL QT3 multi. You think you can bring it? …lol. doubt it.

#1. You’re all wrong

#2. I’m probably wrong

#3. Even if I am wrong, you are all still wrong because you don’t realize how awesome that AP build is…

p.s. I’m on right now!

bluemax · 2010-11-19T00:28:37.000Z

Saw the most ridiculous strategy on the CLG stream tonight by Wickd and some other dudes.

Their team:

Irelia, Janna, Mundo, Blitz, and Alistar

They all took revive and teleport. At the start of the match they took out the other teams jungler after failing to blitz grab kass from behind at mid, dropped a ward by top tower and then suicided to towers. Used revive, teleported to top and pushed down two top towers before the other team decided to send more than 1 guy to stop them.

It was just ridiculous to watch as they pushed as a team right from level 1. I think they took the first inhibitor out (the mid one not the top) 15 minutes in and they took down Baron at 20 minutes when they were all around level 10. What was even more ridiculous was that they were doing joke item builds. Wickd had 2 catalysts on Irelia, then built a locket and I think a third catalyst before the game ended.

It as hilarious as hell to watch but I probably would’ve been pissed to be on the other end of it.

Shellfishguy · 2010-11-19T05:01:44.000Z

To be beaten, yeah that sucks. To be beaten soundly by a team that you know for a fact is just fucking around? yeah that will burst some blood vessels lol.

It happens :( Most likely because you guys play like us, we don’t try and form a kick ass team we play for fun so from time to time the elo matching will cause this. Could also be the team makeup against their.
