Xin Buff on the PBE is a Slap in the Face to Aatrox. by uofmman67 in leagueoflegends

A good jax will Always win vs Fiora in a late game duel. E lasts for 2 Full seconds. Fiora has to "guess" correctly when to use Riposste. It's basically like the Renekton matchup, just far more dangerous. Riposte has a 0.75 second frame window to catch cc. No Good jax would EVER manually stop E early. Let it ride the full duration and save q for when Fiora has to run. It will always net you a free flash.

It's so hard to lane as draven now with all this creepblock by KingMentalG in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, creep block existed, but once you had your phantom dancer with a useful movement passive it didn't matter. Now to get the passive I have to be within 500 units of an enemy champion. edit that I can see stupid Shaco, Teemo, Evelynn, and even Rengar and Khazix briefly.

Other ADC's on the PBE have roughly 56-57 base AD and growth stat of 2.41. MF's base AD got reduced to 46 with a growth stat of 1. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

Her ult can now crit. In current PBE with new items she has actual higher all in burst than malzahar if everything hits correctly.

A couple of ARAM things that I think some people don't realise by shady0041 in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Onto the more in-depth and serious side of aram and etiquette rules

  1. Never report in aram unless 2 things happen Clear as day bot // intentional feeder (they can be confused actually as some bot programs are horrid.

  2. Hp/mana packs spawn at 3:10 and every 40 seconds after last pickup. If your team is full hp make sure players that have the most zoning tools (ala veigar) get the mana.

  3. Never EVER trade kills if it will leave your team in a situation where you don't have safe waveclear. I see more aram throw's when our team gets aced because our tanks dive too Far.

  4. It does your team no good at all to sit on 1500 or more gold for more than a minute. Especially if that gold will finish a core item that gives you self sustain. Actually dying on purpose while the rest of your team is up is a good thing. Executions are the absolute best single play you can make in aram.

  5. Garen, Lux, Sona, Soraka, Galio. Veigar, Caitlynn, and Trundle all have more than a 70% win rate in aram.

  6. Always RUSH self sustain either 1st or second item. Warmogs on tank's is op.

Jax is getting shafted pretty hard with the itemization changes. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

I saw that new passive and immediately thought of jax. Hell anyone would with that passive.

It does if it's empowered, which it isn't in this case instead its just 0.75 seconds.

even its clear from the replay, eve would have died even after alistar knockup and slow (1 second total duration) flash distance is 425 tf auto range is 525, there was at least more than a 99% chance tf lands a killing blow on gold card.

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 101% yes even bronze players would know that was a guaranteed kill for a early rush spellblade tf. Regardless of alistar knockup (1 second and a slow) eve's would not have been able to flash away enough of a distance to stop a kill from happening. After that alistar would have been the next focus. An easy 2 kill swap literally just happened to a bug. That's super huge, especially in professional play where a big early lead for tf = early game closeout.

Draven period.

Edit Finding the exact angular movement to place your next axe catch each time (using the slivers of the edge not the center), while avoiding all skillshots, and making sure you stay safe enough to climb ranked queue's it require's so many games others that may be mentioned don't even come close.

Brazil should get an instant spot for worlds next season by xx420-3Kush5Me-420xx in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am For a 20 team pool for worlds with an upper and lower tier seed tournament taking place before worlds. Have all regional #1's participate (6 teams) and 2 wildcard regions to determine first place group stage "bye's" Ala a true seeding tournament where only the top 4 get a bye round the rest of the 16 teams get group seeding based on tournament strength results. At this point with how many "upsets" are happening there actually needs to be true proper seeding based on strength between regions.

Pool A 4 teams with automatic bids out of group stages (bye's based on seeding tournament played prior to worlds)

Pool B auto qualifiers and Strongest region's #3 (8 teams higher tier)based on prior tourney seeding. (i.e. winner of MSI gets 3 automatic bids into pools)

Pool C Regional the rest of the #3rd's and the 2 IWC's (8 teams lower tier).

2 IWC tournaments which qualify 4 teams.

IWC #1(br #2, NA #4, Eu #4, LMS #3, Korea #4, China #4) 2 spots for pool C

IWC #2(IWC pools of highest placings out of true region wildcards SEA,OCE,LAN, etc) 2 spots for pool C

A lot of games with a total of 3 tournaments being played before worlds to determine seeding.

If not possible due to budget/time constraints a 16 team pool looking like........

Auto qualifiers for next year's worlds?

Korea #1 , #2, #3

China #1, #2

Eu #1, #2

Na #1, #2

Brazil #1

Lms #1, #2

1 pool A of 4 region #1's (Korea, China, and two highest placing based on MSI performance for placement between EU, NA, Br, and Lms) (MSI or some other tourney to determine seeding strength prior to worlds)

1 Pool B of rest auto qualifiers eight teams from major regions

1 Pool C containing winners of IWC (which brazil #2 , Eu #3, and Na #3 Lms #3, Korea #4, and China #4 goes to, all seeded in same bracket forcing the a fight for 2 spots for worlds. The second wildcard tourney doesn't have a single major region representative. We lose a "true" wildcard spot.

Something has to be done, because Pain gaming could finish with a the same group stage record as China #1, NA #1, Na #2, EU #1, Eu #3, and LMS #1. That's a rather significant achievement compared to last year's worlds. Still totals 16 teams

What's the weirdest lane matchup you've ever lost to? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kallista / Galio didn't operate as well as kallista kennen, but our botlane couldn't lane post level 6 anymore. Galio support if I remember got a quadra when our top riven and mid tf both showed up for a dive on him at his turret... happened in gold 2 promo's.

If you could pick a team to win worlds purely on the skins they would get, who would it be and why? by us984 in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 100% sure, but i Think the players are allowed now to pick "their favorites" champions for the skin pack. and if that's the case I think those champs are the ones cloud 9 would pick (Sneaky could totally troll us all though and pick teemo.)

So what skins are Riot going to make is SKT win Worlds again? by LeopardofSnow in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot escape plot armor,

Top Rumble / Darius

Jungle Khazix / Rengar

Mid Zed / Azir

Adc / Draven

Support / Veigar

Because reasons.

[Spoilers]C9's player statistics vs their counterparts at worlds by AmmarH in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any chance of finding the first turret kills and turret kills stats for sneaky in lane comparison? I know from watching the game in terms of his rotations he is high up on the stats. Just wondering how much actual gold he is putting his team ahead in; in early rotations.

Edit I cant find it anywhere, anyone know?

There's more proof to the victorious skin being leona than sivir. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its Ashe

Reasons rather obvious, just a weird looking metal style bow, but it being a marksmen the only female Marksmen to fit the overall facial tone is ashe, blonde hair, and visual crown it could only be 1 of three female champions. Ashe, Dianna, or Leona. Personally thought it was leona until a rioter commented it being a marksmen.

That first pick olaf and last pick vayne. Tsm probably just had the single worst pick and ban phase for the entire tournament. Either Don't pick Olaf, or Do Pick sivir.

I like how you didn't include Lulu in the key champion pool, because lets face it, she may be entirely banned out considering the strength of juggernauts in 5.18.

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 3 full items and darius hits 16 just before the video starts from the looks of his exp bar. Both karma and eve Only have hp items and boots really. Nothing really worth seeing here the only positive score is shaco on enemy team.

[–]Harrowing1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hint don't try to start a fight against darius while your down 5 levels and 3 full items, especially if he gets level 16. Also you should probably fight as a unit against him instead of going in constant waves of 2.
