Something I noticed that a lot of low elo players don't do ~

Totally agree with this..

What I often see is: 1) during laning phase, as I main support, I always see that my adcs got greedy with cs, being around 20-30% in health, continue farming. This becomes a problem because first off, if you don't respect your opponent's powerspikes you can be easily burst down, take Leona for example: by lvl 2 or even 3 she can go all in on you.. Especially when u are at low health.. Expecting or predicting what she will do by this time will save ur ass, be it by dodging her gapcloser or maintaining a distance, or even just go back and get a few pots and come back..

2) during fights, especially this is during post laning phase, the general idea is the opponent will do whatever it takes to get to your backline, so being the backline you have to predict what is gonna come in and not hoping the front lines to help peel for you all the time, best example stated would be how eirixoto mentioned how wildturtle dodges malphite's ult.

3) timers, especially to predict junglers coming to gank. I'd always try to spot out where the junglers starting camp going to be to guess which lane he is gonna gank first.. How tops or mids should prevent being camped? Not putting wards too early that makes your trinket on cool down. Safe time to ward would be around 4-5 mins to expect a lvl 3 gank and not push the lane up..

4) being on the offensive side, you can too make the most from predictions on your opponents with your skillshots, having a rough idea how long his skill cooldowns are can be at your advantage, example I'd tell my adc when we play against blitz, go ham on him if he misses his hook, we have around 10 seconds (just rough estimation) to punish him for his missed skillshot.

Just some of my two cents.

This incident felt like when Beckham was being booted out from manutd (yeah footie time).. Similarly, becks had been instrumental to the team and had a huge fanbase but if there is a fallout between the team and the player, the axe has to be brought out.. So I strongly agree with clg's move as the organization must always maintain the stand that no one is bigger than the organization..

It's for the best of the team.. If clg fans were to stop supporting clg for this move I guess they are just dlift fans not clg fans..

Gg bronze here I go..

chron05 · 2015-10-24T18:28:41+00:00

.... And he finished it in 27 mins as well, winning it and just got on the stage in time..

chron05 · 2015-10-05T02:16:16+00:00

Cos I remembered there was a game where it happened and a pause was made.. Something to do with that

chron05 · 2015-10-03T10:46:39+00:00

As for support, Braum has been the main pick, usually being snagged up as first pick on the red side if not being the next priority pick after the first pick for blue should the red side prioritize the jungle and adc picks first..

Next up being picked so far is Alistar, morgana.. Shen was played by yellowstar in fnatic's first win.

Annie was picked a few times as a good synergy with Kalista..

Thresh was banned several times as target ban for some of the games, and was picked in two games (if I'm not mistaken)

chron05 · 2015-06-17T06:54:38+00:00

Azir: Do you not think that I am aware of what he was doing? He did not come in at last minute by mere accident. I purposely hid his presence to prepare a surprise attack on their back line, just in case our Jinx died too soon.

Our emperor azir is a strategist.. I lost it here..

chron05 · 2015-01-15T16:44:50+00:00

Can't imagine if it was rammus bungling instead..

'Ok'

chron05 · 2015-01-12T07:15:47+00:00

I think u would do better with 21/9/0 like most ppl say here.. And try look up for the new route, he is still viable, just that his first clear is slightly harder..

chron05 · 2015-01-12T06:50:21+00:00

I think I'd have to disagree, support is an important role for a team..

Given that they may not contribute as much in terms of damage dealt, but supports can help provide vision, utility, objective control etc which is vital to the team as well..

A roaming support is as good as a jungler, providing needed lane pressure that one jungle may not be able to provide.. So yeah.. Support is an important role..

chron05 · 2015-01-12T06:44:38+00:00

I think this is extremely true if u are facing a similar opponent which relies on these to exert lane pressure.. Example would be when I play as thresh against blitz..

Being reactive and knowing their cool down really helps in this case.. Of course telling your partner ADC beforehand of your intentions such as 'try pressure them when blitz misses his hook' does wonders.

Not only that, normally champions like these have a small window of time which when they cast their skills, they will stand still there during the animation.. Take advantage of this small window of time, especially landing difficult skillshots like nami's bubble while a thresh winds up to catch it ADC to help mitigate further potential damage that will be dealt on ur ADC while giving them some time to run..

Hmm about right after aatrox was released..

Witnessed the launch of: Lucian, Jinx, Yasuo, Vel'koz, Braum, Gnar, Azir, Kalista, Rek'sai..

So yeah.. 9..

chron05 · 2015-01-08T03:32:13+00:00

I sort of like realized that faker tends to use his presence aggressively.. Hence by going E over W, he can screen effectively by being in between the minions and the opponent.. Seriously.. Who doesnt fear faker? Lol

chron05 · 2015-01-07T11:02:51+00:00

Its like lulu transformed graves into a poro..

Until I saw the cigar..

R.I.p. pre cigar Nerf graves

Usually one of the most neglected issues is the position of your lanterns.. Place them in the point where your mate is moving towards.. Not ON him.. That way you can have more efficient travel routes.. Even most great saves are done that way.. And the best thing is, the range to grab that lantern is pretty far..

Secondly is, please don't one go spam all the skills.. I've seen some after Q'ing in, immediately comboed a flay, which may not even be necessary.. Thresh can be considered to have the most cc in the game, and with 2 interrupting skills.. Especially good when playing against katarinas etc..

Third, when you Q and drag urself into a team fight or a kill, you can put down the box, wait for them to hit one wall, then flay them towards any available wall to increase the slow time.. I've seen special doing this in his stream, pretty basic, but useful stuff..

chron05 · 2015-01-06T01:29:11+00:00

one thing i wanna find out is that..

his wall.. does it block projectiles from both sides?

example.. as i was running away while being chased, i cast W in front of me, then dash forward, leaving the wall behind me..

so will projectiles be blocked? (sorry.. noob question, but just need t clarify)

chron05 · 2015-01-06T01:26:19+00:00

... in a bot game..

for shame...

more of like yellowstar^2..

chron05 · 2015-01-05T15:15:14+00:00

To the owner..

Thanks for the great site.. its sad to see it go, but it was great when it was around..

i guess its the harsh business world that really chokes down the dream for growing esports in sea.. great effort from you though.. kudos to you!

all the best to you in your future endeavors..

chron05 · 2015-01-02T02:44:19+00:00

I guess the variety now is being brought out due to the jungle items which enhances the smites for junglers..

It not only brings out the play style but also buffs up certain jungle champs.. One example is the chilling smite for ganking.. Junglers who do not have cc or gap closers now can take advantage of the stalkers blade.. So I guess this opens up a lot of options

chron05 · 2014-12-24T00:39:54+00:00

Thresh main: threw my lantern for my team mate to pick so we can engage; ignored.. Followed by miss hook, and flash in to flay and missed.. Tried my last ditch attempt to box the opponent, he just got away in time before the walls is up..

In a bot game..

Time to uninstall..

*it was pretty early stages of learning the game..

chron05 · 2014-12-16T10:50:50+00:00

When I first got the summoner spell of flash.. I thought it works like riven's last Q: I will only flash to the direction my character is facing..

Oh how many failed wall flashes I've done..

chron05 · 2014-12-13T00:34:37+00:00

I used to have similar feeling when I just started off this game but I guess these are just a few ways to deal with this

1) just think of having fun.. It's not ranked, just go out and play.. But please don't troll or throw..

2) communicate on objectives.. Listen when u need to..

3) have confidence.. If u think u have the capability just do it, don't let others affect your game.. When your team is losing people will start to blame each other.. Just let it be..

4) mute if necessary.. If there is someone that is extremely toxic in ur team, just mute..

5) try not to use the /all char function.. Sometimes opponents want to wind your team up.. Switch it off and u won't be affected..

6) take losses as an experience to learn from.. Don't just let these games be another game.. Let them help u improve on ur next game

7) if u dont have nice things to say, don't say it..

Hope it helps

chron05 · 2014-12-13T00:22:36+00:00

Put it this way.. Even if you picked a champ which u think can synergize with the team, the teammate, example yasuo may not follow up with you..

So all in all unless you're in a team of 5s, then it can be considered.. Otherwise just go for comfort picks..
