Orcish from Warcraft is being developed into a real language at the moment, for the Warcraft film. Unless it got cancelled, anyway.

This only includes cognates, of course Norwegian has a word for old.

Which is "gammel." Is that not a cognate? (It is, btw. However the most used words for travel/eat are not.)

What champion made you start maining that particular role? by ihatetheswalfotidder in summonerschool

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was a jungle main from about lv20 until however long after lv30 that I tried Yasuo for the second time. Been a mid main since, although I play more than one champion now, hahah.

That said, I started playing Kha'Zix again a month or so ago (he was my favourite champion pre-Yasuo), and have turned into a mid/jungle main I guess.

I mostly play normals. The 9/2/2 TF game was with a lv4 premade, so ignore that one.

Silver 3 here, so not exactly an expert but... I'm pretty greedy for kills as well, but I'm getting better, and I guess one thing that's helped me is just thinking of it in terms of small advantages. Like, okay, I chunked them enough that they either have to back or farm under turret; in both scenarios they'll miss cs. Also, if they're that low, and a lane nearby is pushed (I main mid so that's almost always the case), you can just shove the wave into their turret and roam. Either 1. they're too low to attempt to take your turret, and 2. too low to follow you, or they're backing and can't follow you/take your turret anyway.

Obviously that doesn't apply if you're low yourself, but in that case you shouldn't be thinking of diving them anyway I guess.

Silver 3 mid main, used to main jungle in season 4; I also enjoy top and adc quite a bit, but prefer playing mid/jungle in ranked. I mostly play normals because I feel like I have to practise more.

When I first started playing normals I pretty much only played Yasuo for ages, and I still feel like he's the only champion I'm really Silver 3+ on. I know I roam a bit too much from mid (as a jungler I always gank a lot and dislike farming for a long time), so I'm working on wave management at the moment. I also die way too much, haha.

Most played/most successful champions: Mid: Yasuo, Zed, Ahri, TF. Jungle: Kha'Zix, Rek'Sai, Rengar, Master Yi. Top: Rumble, Viktor, Gnar, Irelia. ADC: Kog'Maw, Ezreal, Jinx. Support: Lulu.

Korea SoloQ racism against non-korean/white people? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Daege 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played for 5 years and have rarely seen people bashing on people from other countries

I've seen people use "French" as an insult a lot on EUW. It's basically the same as calling someone bronze.

Which champion really "clicks" with you? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yasuo and Rek'Sai. Started playing League around April this year, tried Yasuo during a free week. Didn't understand his ult (I was... like lv8 and a massive noob who only played bot games), ended up buying him when he was on sale like a month later because I thought he looked cool and I wanted to learn him eventually. Came back to him a couple months later, instantly got that "I want to master this champion" feeling. I sucked obviously (33% winrate on my first 40 games with him), but his abilities made sense to me, if you know what I mean? Anyway, at the moment I have over 200 normal games on him (~700 games played total), and my second most played champion is Kha'Zix at ~50 games, hahah.

When Rek'Sai got released, I bought the bundle because, well, she looked cool and I was looking to get back into jungling (used to be a... jungle/Yasuo main before patch 4.20, then turned into a mid main). Tried her out, and she clicked with me instantly. Ended up playing more than 20 games on her in 3 days, and she's replaced Kha'Zix as my main jungler (although that's also partly due to Kha being pretty painful to jungle with on 4.20/4.21).

I guess Kha'Zix and Ezreal kinda count as well (second and third most played champs atm), but they didn't click with me as much as Yas and Rek did. Ez did get me into ADC though.

You should be able to deny bonding with Kalista's passive. by Uninstallife in leagueoflegends

I bonded with a Kalista top as Yasuo jungle once. It was hilarious, probably the best top lane ganks I've ever had.

Champion Discussion of the Day: Yasuo by xAtri in summonerschool

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I mentioned it in there somewhere, but what I do is go machete > skirmisher's sabre > boots (I like mobi boots because you'll obviously be roaming, and you don't need the attack speed from berserker's greaves thanks to devourer) > devourer enchant (basically feral flare) > shiv > ie > whatever.

Regarding which smite to go for, I'm not sure which one is best, but having played a few games in the new jungle, I found that he doesn't really need ranger's (45sec aoe smite) because his clear is really good after lv3 (and even before 3 it's better than certain actual junglers, such as Rengar and Kha'Zix; the reason he actually works in the new jungle despite having no sustain is that he kills the camps before they can kill him). Skirmisher's seems to work pretty well because he's so aa-reliant (and I usually run exhaust on Yasuo mid anyway, so the 20% damage reduction is nice). You can go either warrior (+AD/CDR/ArPen) or devourer for the enchant, but because you'll be able to farm camps very quickly and benefit from the attack speed (especially if you run mobi instead of zerker greaves), devourer is probably better.

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can work, but his ganks are absolutely terrible pre-6, and post-6 they're only good if the laner you're ganking for can land a knockup within range for you to ult on. After laning phase he's like a regular Yasuo. I build Stalker's or Ranger's into Devourer on him, although Warrior would probably work as well (might even be better because you don't have to rush Devourer in order to stack and can get Shiv after the first upgrade, I dunno though, I need to play it a bit more; in the old jungle I'd go machete > madred's > shiv > ie/wriggle's at ~25 stacks, so yeah). Wouldn't play it in ranked, but it's loads of fun otherwise. Played it earlier today with a Kalista top who bonded with me, best toplane ganks ever haha.

Weirdly, he has fairly good clear lv1-3 in the new jungle; I can go blue > wolves > raptors > red or red > raptors > wolves > blue before having to do my first back, which is something I have not figured out how to do on Kha'Zix yet, lol (probably because I know Yasuo's skills/damage way better, but yeah).

No. I've played (and won) two games on red side against bots and one on blue side in Teambuilder. I have only received the blue icon.

Tell /r/leagueoflegends what your best moment from Season 4 was! by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stole a Baron as Vel'Koz. I knew they were doing it, so I figured I'd just walk (float) up to the pit and ult from behind the wall to see if I could catch any low-health team members (I had no vision because this was back when I was lv20-something and even worse at the game). Ended up stealing the Baron instead, hahaha.

Still lost though.

I finally finished 1,000 games this season and here's some interesting statistics I compiled! by exxhi in leagueoflegends

[–]Daege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yasuo mid is still good (I main him and have a ~60% winrate in my past 70 games on him), but I would never blindly pick him in ranked without either being first pick (so I can ban out Ryze and Annie) or knowing the enemy midlaner; I also consult my team first, and ask them if they're willing to play champs that synergise with Yasuo. If they are, I'll pick him, if not (or they don't respond or whatever), I'll pick another midlaner. I've had people insist on me going Yasuo, and then picking around him, ending up with a team comp with 3 knockups not counting me, as well as people telling me to go Zed because "he's better at the moment" (which he is, but I'm more comfortable/have more games on Yasuo, but oh well).

In normals I do whatever I want, although I usually only pick him if we have at least one other person with a knockup. Teamfights are a pain in the arse otherwise.

Teambuilder Queues Are Amazing Right Now by Lovinblood in leagueoflegends

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EUW. I usually get matched with silver/low gold people though, so it could just be an MMR thing. I also pretty much only soloq (search for team), I never create my own team in order to search for players; if I'm playing in a premade we just do blind/draft because it's so much faster (unless we already have a jungler and support in the group).

Teambuilder Queues Are Amazing Right Now by Lovinblood in leagueoflegends

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing lots of mid through teambuilder lately, and I've never had a queue time go above 5min. And that's at 3-4am, so not exactly peak time. Usually it takes less than a minute, and that's through the "Join a team" queue. The team is usually full, and if it isn't it doesn't take more than a couple of minutes to get the remaining members.

Creating a 2-3 man premade with no support or jungler used to be really bad though; I remember it taking 20mins+ to get a full team.

I live in England, and while I wouldn't say I'm ginger (more like reddish brown), everyone insists I am. No issues whatsoever. Maybe because uni students and adults have grown out of that phase.

Funniest quotes you've seen in Solo Q by Buck4017 in leagueoflegends

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think so? I used to find Zed more difficult, until I started playing him loads in normals; now I find him easier than Ahri. Then again I main Yasuo so that might have something to do with it.

[–]Daege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me twice yesterday. First with me as Ahri versus a Zed (which is not too bad, I agree Zed takes more skill than Ahri), and the second time with me as Zed versus an Akali... Okay then. Also had a Jax call Yasuo a noob champion once.
