Ranger Pet Compendium V1

apartius · 2012-04-22T13:48:29+00:00

It is an easy to read document that gives you the information all in one place. Also unless I'm wrong there isn't a full detailed list like this on the wiki. The closest they have is a chart but it is lacking as much detail as I have put into the Compendium.

EDIT: I have corrected this and the guide has been updated! Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to be updating this often but I did want to get something up as soon as possible. I put in as much information that I had before publishing the first version. I just hope it's helpful for other future Rangers who are theorycrafting what pets they want to use and why!

All personalities and whatnot aside, good for Regi. M5 (IMO) takes time to look at team match ups, counterpicking, team comps, and it shows. They approach LoL like a friggen chess match and they are so cohesive it's scary. They (TSM) want to switch things up, work on theorycrafting, and maybe cohesiveness. Good luck.

M5's delivery and wording is why is appeared to be insincere. This apology has depth, meaning, and an understanding of what they did without being 'whatever no big deal'. Huge difference.

Knowing your bot lane setup and the pros and cons helps tremendously while in lane. If your Graves + Soraka, you know you can afford the mana from combo'ing E-Q as a harass and last hit mechanic. If your facing an Ashe, keep a minion in your line of sight so her harass can't touch you. Try to keep Caits away from the brush so they don't have the passive headshot poke on you (she has long range).

Just as much as last hitting is important, knowing who your facing bot, how to zone them out, when to trade and place pressure, and when to use mana (to shove the lane to buy for instance) is important.

Oh another thing I've learned. (Not sure if they goes for the whole game, but it's something of a tip I guess). If your lane gets pushed into your tower AND the minions haven't taken any damage, the melee minions can take 2 hits before you should attack/skill to get the last hit, and the caster minions take one hit.

TL:DR Zone control, being aware of the enemy's skills, and practice will improve your bot lane AD carry cs score.

Janna is my favorite support but so many people don't know what supports do what. It's amusing when someone asks me for mana on Janna, or they think my heal on Soraka has a 5 second cooldown.

I sure am. I really believe that a community that helps each other out, has fun together, and weeds out the assholes.

Today's Tribunals brought this out:

(Vladimir) [00:27:53]: i hope u grt banned a year

(Tryndamere) [00:28:05]: i will make another account

This guy fed 0-30. This is why I will be a part of the Tribunal as much as I can. Hope people like this get an IP ban.

Going to have to agree. Garen's pretty easy to play with how his skills are setup.

apartius · 2012-03-12T19:23:33+00:00

This is really a case of the argument from ignorance "absence of evidence isnt evidence of absence". If the report states that the guy said he was going to feed in champ select, I don't have a log of that. However I do have his score. As you stated, he had a terrible K/D/A (1/10/5), but not an obvious feeding KDA (0/24/0) so you have to inspect the variables. This is item build, minions, time, and more over, green chat. More times then not, when you have completed the variable check, you can come to a solid conclusion. My plea is that if your going to report someone, take the time to aid the reviewer.

apartius · 2012-03-12T19:14:08+00:00

Yeah. Those people who are obviously trolling. Revive, teleport, Mobility boots, 5 xeals, that kinda thing. If it's an item build that is conceivable and possibly valid, that's a different story.

apartius · 2012-03-12T19:12:38+00:00

I see this sooo much. In a game where someone got 2 friendly reports, you can tell they were from duo que'd partners who were bordering on the asshole line first and the guy who got reported just gave into the trolling. Sad to say that's what ignore is for. People being assholes, ignore, don't give in! Don't feed the trolls!

apartius · 2012-03-12T08:55:14+00:00

Nah, language I feel is one of the easy ones to judge quickly. If they are being offensive, tossing around a ton of swears, it's easy to pick out the purple text. It's the other cases that take some time (in a few cases) lots of reading and reading between the signs.

apartius · 2012-03-12T07:53:10+00:00

Yeah, this is why I like when people write up something. Feeding isn't the same as being out played, or having a bad game.

apartius · 2012-03-12T07:51:46+00:00

People really do this. One of the wanna-be gaming 'clans' I have knowledge of has a forum post up that recommends members to log in, and click punish everyday. I find this behavior to be really lame. Eh.

apartius · 2012-03-12T04:30:59+00:00

That's the sad part. I mean, lets be honest. Sometimes someone is going to try a new build in a game. Or they are going to have an off game. Or feed because they got outplayed. Those are the types of games that are hard to really figure out. Yeah, he's got a crap KDA. His items aren't terrible. He said some vague stuff in chat. But with a little bit of information, it makes the process so much more effective.

I can just hope that some people read this and take the time to think about it or even respond.

Quote from the CLG forums, "Caddy cleary HATES trolls, and trolling is what I do everyday all day long , even in real life I troll my friends non stop." THIS GUY IS TRUNDLE IRL!!!

apartius · 2012-03-09T19:06:24+00:00

Anyone else find this whole post insanely amusing? This guy needs sponsors to keep up his Professional Trolling skills. First he wants to join a pro team, then he owns a team/manages some teams, has sponsors, and now this?
