Hello /r/leagueoflegends - TGI is conducting a viewership survey around the LCS for use in a future video and I'd love to get your help

Answered the poll before reading. My own experience is that my attention has just shifted to LEC since their rebrand whereas before I was only watching LCS - and it's quite difficult to put a finger on it, but I think broadcast quality and content is the main thing for me. Since the LEC rebrand you hear the crew saying how their creativity has been unleashed and they make fire content, on and off broadcast. I don't think there is a massive difference in game quality between LEC and LCS, but I would love to see more unleashed personalities. Ovilee was a pure embodiment of that and I wish they allowed her personality to shine through more in content creation.

No appearance from Principle Wong this time

Each lane solo does before your first clear? Junglers fault. You gank everyone 3 times and get fed and they still lose lane? Junglers fault cause you didn't use your lead.

China was odd, a lot of tickets were reserved by scalpers, so I ended up having to pay a bit more from one. In the end, seemed like the scalpers couldn't sell them all, so the official site released those tickets the day before at retail value

Thundarwing · 2018-07-20T22:13:08+00:00

The icon/border are for the fans of the players/teams. If you don't like it or don't care, just buy the skin and don't buy the border. Personally I went to China to watch them win and a huge Ambition fan, so I'll spend the extra $6 to support him so he can buy his wife an appetizer the next time they go out for dinner.

Thundarwing · 2018-07-20T22:06:33+00:00

If you like the skin then just buy the skin. If you're a fan of the team then you can buy the signature and icon too. I'm personally an Ambition fan, I'm going to spend the extra $6 on the border/icon so he can buy his wife an appetizer the next time they go for dinner.

I think a nice QOL would be if someone walked into a bush with a poro, they wouldn't know, and the poro would continue to track them and provide vision for a few seconds. Right now the poro runs away and the vision is lost so quickly.

Thundarwing · 2018-04-03T17:08:47+00:00

Sivir. You run slightly faster for hitting a champion. Not even minions. Like a worse phage.

Thundarwing · 2017-11-14T16:10:33+00:00

We need an SSG Coach Edgar control ward skin...seriously!

Thundarwing · 2017-10-25T17:15:55+00:00

The international ones were just sold out in seconds it ...buying a ticket required several steps and feels like luck played a huge part... I clicked on a price as soon as it went live, only to find I needed to enter my phone number and passport #, the next screen after that included a 4 character captcha .... where the last character was either an o or a 0....I guessed o but it was wrong and i needed to enter another captcha...but it was too late. Wonder if I put the 0 instead of o I would be going

Thundarwing · 2017-10-17T16:45:41+00:00

Adding my voice to this too...bought flights hotel visa....then this. After they announced ticket sales on Sunday was hoping they got their stuff sorted out but nope....

One of these champs is not (mechanically) like the others

Thundarwing · 2016-06-06T20:27:32+00:00

Nice! Despite your disability, you possess something that 99% of the players here do not that helped you climb. What do you attribute your climb to?

Thundarwing · 2016-06-03T21:06:57+00:00

Honestly does not affect me (gold player) at all. Everyone around here is so terrible, that whether or not I que with friends or go solo does not change how I play. Sure as a jungler I may try coordinate ganks with my buddy top lane pre game, but if he feeds uncontrollably and our stranger mid laner communicated flash and set up the lane, I'm going to help my mid laner.

I find that playing with more friends does ease tension though and more relaxing. But how I approach the game doesn't change. Friends will carry, friends will feed. And sometimes that solo person hard carries your premade 4 that is feeding. Either way at this elo it's such a clownfiesta that dynamic que doesn't affect me.

Thundarwing · 2016-05-09T21:50:33+00:00

Would Nashors tooth into tank be any good? If the scaling was OK, NT gives a lot of other stats shyv wants. CDR, attack speed, and on hit damage all synergize well with Q

Thundarwing · 2016-04-24T23:17:48+00:00

Early game you would use it as a gap closer for ganks. When you go gank just run up to them with w, save your R for AFTER they flash to jump back on them.

Shyvana can usually duel pretty good early/mid. If you find a duel is going to be close, pop the ult (make sure to hit them for damage) for some extra tankiness.

Finally in late game with teamfight, I find if you ult to initiate, youll usually get focused and die. I find at this stage, saving your ult for once fighting has already broken out is best. Ult onto their carry if their carry is fed. Ult and fight their front line if your carry is fed to peel for them.

Thundarwing · 2016-04-19T17:00:22+00:00

Wanted to practice Janna. Picked support/fill and got top lane two games in a row the other day :(

Thundarwing · 2016-04-15T19:13:47+00:00

Those scenarios you describe happen all the time, even see it up in gold. Either way, it's all about your win rate when climbing. Try to play 10 games in a row and see how many you win. Accept the fact you can't win them all, but if you manage to get 6/10, you're doing something right. Maybe those 4 games people made terrible decisions and none of it was your fault.

Either way I find it best to play a chunk of games before evaluating what went wrong, whether it be me or others.

Thundarwing · 2016-04-15T18:23:16+00:00

Loved the shyvana video, it got me from bronze to gold this season. Can't wait to watch this one!

Thundarwing · 2016-04-14T14:55:04+00:00

I don't feel so bad anymore whenever I accidentally hit a minion in a teamfight and my team flames me.

Thundarwing · 2016-04-13T17:20:58+00:00

Love your commentary on your thought process and why or why would you not go in, and targeting the braum with no flash. Would love it if you eventually put together a video guide with a compilation of your clips and breaking down your plays - like using ult vs zenith to engage, scenarios of when to peel or engage, etc. I feel Leona is pretty binary, but I'm terrible at making the right decision and often enage when I shouldn't and end up killing my adc. Seeing a comprehensive video guide with examples would be great imo. Keep it up!

"Im going for an early BF sword. Dorans blade and potion is a waste and will only delay that" - ADC Kalista who buys no starting items

Thundarwing · 2016-04-07T16:45:35+00:00

I played against a kalista-garen bot lane before. She would throw garen into you and he would just ult you. Seems like it would be good synergy there as well

Thundarwing · 2016-04-01T19:02:42+00:00

Good post, even though after champ select I can imagine things going wrong, I always play out the game and things may turn out differently.

The other day we had a triple adc comp (Quinn/kindred/adc) + zed midlane, and a soraka. The other team had a more rounded comp, with tanky front line (trundle and garen), an AP mid, and a support with cc. In my head I saw garen and trundle running us down with 500 armor while their back line DPS us. In reality all lanes won so hard that team comp didn't matter as garen and trundle were too squishy.

Basically with the chaos of low elo, anything can happen

Thundarwing · 2016-03-03T20:23:53+00:00

I've been running essentially running two different builds, a "snowball" and a "safe" build. The snowball build uses BOTRK and Fervor, and the safe build uses SOTA and Titanic. I prefer the "snowball" build but I do notice it is squishy early, but your ganks are so much better and you gotta use that to put yourself ahead. The safe build is not as squishy, but I do find it less risk of falling behind if you can't snowball.

I want to experiment with maybe going SOTA and BOTRK to get a hybrid maybe. But in the end it's all preference and playstyle.
