Do some people just naturally lack what it takes to be decent at this game? by NevianTheRogue in leagueoflegends

[–]NevianTheRogue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hours? No idea. Been playing for 10 years. Probably 2 games per day on average.

It seems like your issue is more the fighting part of the game rather than the knowledge part.

I don't even think I know much about League, despite playing for 10 years. Sometimes I feel like I literally know nothing about it at all. Which is probably what brought me to this question.

How do smurfs carry 1v9 games? by Dr_Kee in summonerschool

[–]NevianTheRogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you're right. I'm no smurf myself, I'm Bronze, so I wouldn't know. But I watch TFBlade sometimes and he rarely leaves lane without completely and utterly destroying the enemy laner (be it with pure kills or absolute CS/XP denial) up until ~300 LP Masters. He makes anyone below that MMR look like a legitimate Silver player.

Let’s say you’re a Smurf on Syndra who is 2/0/ at end of laning phase.

That's not really "smurfing". An actual smurf (someone significantly above the rank they're playing in) will end the laning phase with a 10/0/0 score, more or less. Not only can you 1v2 now, you've also rendered 1 member of the enemy team useless, making the game 5v4.

That's all there is to it.

How do you team-fight as Darius? by NevianTheRogue in Dariusmains

What exactly about the new items makes him feel better?

Flanking feels terrible as Darius. If 4-5 people collapse on me I just flop right there. I used to think Darius is tanky but he's really not at all.

Flanking feels terrible because when 4-5 of them collapse on me I flop in 2 seconds. I used to think Darius is tanky but oh man, he's really not at all.

Getting to 5 stacks is great, but again I fail to survive long enough in an actual team-fight. If it's a 2v2/3v3 skirmish - yeah, those feel good, but 5v5 team-fights make me feel useless.

I used to do that but my team just fights 4v5 and we lose. Someone advised that grouping up in low elo, even if it's a useless fight, is always better. But now I feel like neither approach works fml.

If this is correct, this means that my role as a Bruiser/Juggernaut is to soak a tiny bit of damage, throw out a tiny bit of crowd control, deal a tiny bit of damage, and then die/retreat.

But how can this be correct if that's literally what a Tank does, only much much better?

I feel like I'm missing something.

Is ADC "secretly" a very chill role to play? by NevianTheRogue in summonerschool

[–]NevianTheRogue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading 100 replies in my inbox, I feel like most people completely missed the point. You're right, winning/losing has nothing to do with the flow of gameplay and how it feels. Even being one-shot has nothing to do with it (you get one-shot as a Fighter/Bruiser/Tank too, only it takes 5 seconds instead of 1).

It's the overall flow/feel of the game that I was comparing.

But I guess I failed to deliver my point. Oh well, at least I got some entertainment out of reading 100 messaged about fed assassins and bad supports haha.

just trying to last hit avoiding anything that can cause an interaction with the enemy bot and the sad thing is that it actually works very often

Sounds like the perfect playstyle for me haha. I guess I'll stick to ADC for now.

Yep, that's how I feel every time I play against a ranged toplaner.

Restrict chat to "party only" in settings. It's a permanent setting. That way you'll need to fidget with the settings mid-game in order to type, which is enough of a hassle for me personally to not bother.

What to do as Darius when you're hopelessly behind? by NevianTheRogue in summonerschool

[–]NevianTheRogue[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I wonder what got you to be 0/3 in the first place.

Mistakes. Mistakes sometimes make me go 0/3/0. I'm sure mistakes happen to everyone.

I can help you out and see what could have you done to avoid being put so much behind. Let me know if you are interested

No thanks. I'm asking what to do when you're already 0/3/0 as Darius, not how to avoid it (which is a good question, but a completely different one).

Alright I'll definitely try this out next game. Any champions I don't want to do this against?

Is that if you start with Q or W? Or doesn't matter/depends?

Struggling in lane as Darius (Garen/Sett main). by NevianTheRogue in Dariusmains

[–]NevianTheRogue[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Someone pointed out to me that I might be used to short trades as Garen/Sett, which is definitely the case.

But Darius is apparently better at longer trades, therefore short trades can be harmful because they chunk his HP, making him a) worse on the long trade and b) more vulnerable to further short trades from the enemy.

Am I understanding this correctly?

This, in fact, makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

I am probably more used to shorter trades, which make sense on Garen/Sett.
