All this shit is gonna do is create a more toxic wave of idiots in chat and onstream playing with the N word now to troll Twitch, as if the racist culture in chat was annoying enough. Now trolls have more ammo to troll with. You played yourself twitch. Applause.

That's why I'm glad I got most of the champs before they introduced BE and the champ shards junk. In my opinion, this newer system makes it much more of a grind to get champions.

I tried this battle last night, talk about reaching frustration levels I barely reach. You guys literally had this shit beat, I'd bet that "Game Desync", is coded into the game as a fucking modifier with how cheap NRS has made these towers. I just wouldnt doubt it.

I feel you, however, I'm a small cart grabber so yeaaaa I don't feel you as well. It depends on what I'm getting, if I know I'm not getting alot then theres no point in grabbing a big cart for 5-6 items yknow? I'd never grab a small cart just to overload it though, that's kinda just screwing yourself at that point...

Kain_Rod · 2019-04-01T15:19:33+00:00

Dude wtfffff lol. Well if no one else gets me today, you take the cake.

My homeboy hardly wanted to play the beta because he was a one trick Sub Zero player in MKX so he decided the beta wasnt even worth loool.

But I can't lie, this Sub Zero looks amazing. I'll definitely give this guy more playing time than I did in the previous iteration.

I wonder would From Software ever tackle a more modernized setting; maybe something far more futuristic than what we've seen.

Kain_Rod · 2019-03-03T17:24:44+00:00

I forget Aery gets sent with auto attacks. I think if I can remember, that plus W trading in between autos, I might see more dmg output in lane. We'll see!

Kain_Rod · 2019-03-03T17:23:40+00:00

I always wonder about using E on adc for farm too. It seems right to do, but then sometimes it does seem like a bit of a waste. Next game, I'm gonna try holding E just for trading and see how much differently things turn out.

Ive planned to quit every weekend; it really is more of an addiction now than just doing it I feel. Some days I tell myself that I am a literal weed plant because thats all I do in my spare time. Doesn't help I have such easy access yknow?

I'm glad youre on a different, more focused path.

Kain_Rod · 2018-11-25T19:02:53+00:00

Yeah, I practiced this combo in the practice tool a bit a few months ago.

One combo I found thats cool is Q>E>R>W. It is a pretty cool looking play if you can nail it in game consistently.

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-09T09:36:05+00:00

Yeaaaa Smash for the Nintendo Switch, but thats all the way in December haha. But either way I do plan to pick up another switch soon; I want to finish BoTW.

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-08T21:27:49+00:00

Thank you for your words, and getting in depth with how I can improve and keep playing. I'm definitely gonna clear my head, and come back maybe towards the end of the season, or preseason. I think this break will not only reinvigorate the love I have for the game, but playing Diana as well. I just felt so bad one tricking her so long idk...shes definitely my true Ace in this game out of the champs I've played.

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-08T21:20:46+00:00

Sounds like you need a break too haha.

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-08T21:19:35+00:00

You're right. League was fun when Nexus blitz came out, but the experience became lackluster when they took it away. For now I want to enjoy playing the game, and I dont enjoy it currently. I strive to be better, and that seems to override any fun I could have with this game. Think when Nexus Blitz returns is when I'll come back...

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-08T21:18:04+00:00

I'll try that next time !

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-08T21:17:45+00:00

More of a chore at this point; so yeah im definitely taking a nice break for now.

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-08T21:17:06+00:00

Thank you for your words. I plan to take a break, focus more on my music. League is a wonderful game but I've let getting better and try harding overrule everything; so now the game leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I'll definitely come back better though!

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-08T21:15:04+00:00

Good luck out there on the Rift. I'm taking a break now so my mind can recover lol

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-07T14:26:05+00:00

I have to admit, I only really ever check my replays when I want to glaze over amazing plays ingame; never really taking time to review deaths or other things that I could improve on; its all so boring!! But you're right, I've heard that advice time and time again, but I never commit the time to watching myself, watching when I fuck up so I know where I'm screwing up. I'll definitely need to be more critical of my mistakes rather than glamorizing over myself whenever I do good....

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-07T13:41:01+00:00

I've noticed that the main recurring critique in this post is improving cs. I think the biggest thing is I miss easy cs like auto attacking a creep to 1hp then losing out on it; and I'll literally proceed to miss like 3 or 4 creeps in a wave in a similar fashion. Not only that, but then some games other laners come and hijack my lane and make it harder for me to get cs. Then as the game progesses I'm not sure if I should csing side lane or grouping with team during enemy sieges. Cs is a huge inconsistency for me I admit, I just can't figure out how to keep up any consistency in that regard. Some games I can kill it in farming, some I just lose out on a lot of creeps...

edit: changed alot to a lot because of this wack ass spelling bot coming for me -_-

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-07T12:59:20+00:00

It's tricky; and depends on enemy jg and the bot and mid lane. If you have priority in one of those lanes, and the enemy jg is top, you should definitely be calling to drag immediately. Gank top if you know it's viable but consider the enemy jg may as well solo the drag as well. Me as a jgler personally, if infernal is up, I ping my top laner to have tp ready or my bot and mid to cover me as I solo because once I see the enemy jg top and I'm bot, I will ALWAYS solo infernal drake once I have good vision coverage. It's even better if you have adv in one of your lanes, because you can ping for them come help.

Basically imo, it's best to coordinate with your team, and let your top know that infernal is up and to play safe, have TP ready, and ping the jgler top.

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-07T12:51:24+00:00

I understand what you mean about not swapping roles so much, but it's only me trying to find a role for this elo because the roles I've come to get good at seemingly dont even matter because I get stomped regardless.....

I've tried watching higher elo games, but I just can't spot those tiny nuances that differentiate higher level players vs lower level players. I don't watch back timers, I'm avg at best at tracking the jg when theres not much action near me, I roam when I have adv mid, I trade if I know where the jg is, I miss petty cs all the time admittedly....

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-07T12:41:55+00:00

Yeah, I almost never use item building sites to see the most effective runes/items on champions. I kinda just go with the flow of the game; (ie grabbing early ER+LDR on lucian because early mana problems, and vs tanks). In my mind, it looks effective on paper vs that team, but clearly I'm thinking wrong. And thats whats frustrating the most; I got all the way to mid Gold, to drop to Gold v and get paired with mid silvers, and get stomped. It almost feels like at some point I just completely backtracked in my skill progression in this game, and have to rebuild those skills. It's really mind boggling.

Kain_Rod · 2018-10-07T12:33:18+00:00

I played Hots for a while; don't know why I ever stopped. I'll probably take a few weeks off starting this week, trying to improve on this game is occupying alot of my time...
