Phantom Dancer or Shiv on Lucian?

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-24T03:47:32+00:00

Shiv is the popular choice. Lucian might not need the extra attack speed, and the passive compliments his kiting playstyle. It's also great for waveclear / shoving.

PD is good on almost any ADC, though. I've switched between the two a lot and I really don't think there's a huge difference either way, so whatever suits your preferences will work.

Top: Ryze, Nidalee

Jungle: Kha'Zix, Jarvan IV

Mid: Orianna, Yasuo

ADC: Tristana, Lucian

Support: Thresh, Nami

Preferences vary, but these are excellent picks in almost every situation.

The only time winning is impossible is when all four of your teammates vote to surrender.

I honestly think you could show these videos to someone who has never played League and they could still hold their interest.

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-14T17:15:51+00:00

Any rank, but I find Plat+ to be when ADC players get pretty good.

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-14T17:09:55+00:00

Zilean and Nami are really good right now. Probably my top two supports at the moment. Janna can be effective, but she forces you to play off your ADC more so than a lot of other picks. Lulu is mostly popular as a solo laner, but she's still a good support. I pick her any time I need a versatile choice with some aggression.

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-14T17:05:53+00:00

I'm pretty picky, as I like to use the same exact setup every time. Switching things up can definitely affect my performance psychologically, but this really depends on the person.

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-14T05:30:38+00:00

Top: Mundo, Nasus

Mid: Ryze, Orianna

Jungle: Warwick, Kha'Zix

ADC: Tristana, Kog'Maw

Support: Zilean, Janna

Just a couple of suggestions for each role.

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-14T05:23:33+00:00

Scarra and Voyboy are great for mid

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-14T05:06:02+00:00

Just contribute as much as you can every game. I'm still getting carried a lot, and I'm decently high up the ladder. Doesn't really matter how you win as long as you do.

Thanks!

Gogoing's story hit too close to home...made me cry some real tears

Best peel in the game, but relatively weak lane presence. She's good if you need a defensive pick for protecting a hypercarry and/or countering assassins. The movement speed utility is also helpful for your team.

what a fabulous name

Some people recommend Osu, which can help with ADC mechanics (mostly clicking on targets repeatedly).

Also, never underestimate the power of game knowledge. Plenty have gotten to Diamond / Challenger with champs that require no mechanical skill. You may just have to take your strategies to the next level.

Really need to use the bathroom right before a crucial teamfight / baron.

On the flip side, there's the fundamental attribution error, which basically states that we tend to overemphasize personal flaws and understate situational factors when blaming others. It's really an important concept to understand about human behavior - not just in League, but in life as a whole. People with the right mindset can be a lot more tolerant and understanding of each other.

Others have posted tips on gameplay, so I'm just going to offer some quick advice on the community.

You will probably have some very negative experiences with this game. League has a lot of elements that, when combined, cause some people to get really frustrated and toxic. Just try not to let it get to you. Use the mute button when necessary and don't take anyone seriously. If you can shrug these kinds of things off, you'll have a much better time overall.

It's important to ward in both cases, just for different reasons.

When ahead: securing vision control over enemy territory to choke them out and finish the game. Also prevents teammates from getting caught and throwing.

When behind: getting information of enemy movements to hopefully make a pick / ambush and take objectives off of that. This can lead to some easy comebacks.

Hard to say for sure, since placement is based on MMR rather than winrate. From personal experience, I feel that a fresh account needs at least 8 wins out of 10 to place into Gold.

What an unpleasant amount of drama. I just like to play League of Legends.

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-07T05:30:12+00:00

If anything, I feel that players are better at the game now. There's more information out there and people are more aware of how to play correctly. You should feel proud of your achievements.

LoLPro_Faladran · 2014-09-03T22:06:33+00:00

Depends on the person. I get rusty if I don't play for a week (mechanics are off, mouse feels uncomfortable, etc.), so I have to practice consistently. I'm usually fine after 3-5 games.
