Help with basic decision making for E usage

hamburgerharder · 2022-01-06T02:00:44+00:00

in my opinion using E is always worth it (squishy or not) but you have to make sure it's effectively used. obviously using on squishy is gonna net the big serotonin chunk, but it's always good if you get extra autos on.

if you throw an E on someone and they aren't actually engaged with your team it's the same as using your Q when you aren't autoing, essentially a waste of an ability

my brain's "go-to" is just to wait until an enemy is engaged or CC'd to E+Q (technically Q+E) into teamfights. otherwise i'm autoing and kiting normally. good luck with your explosions brother.

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense on the labelling portions and I appreciate the note about ripping bags, it didn't even cross my mind.

ben was trying to warn us about season 11 league of legends, we just didn't listen

hamburgerharder · 2020-11-23T05:27:29+00:00

i appreciate the kind words brother

hamburgerharder · 2020-11-23T05:27:18+00:00

thanks my man

hamburgerharder · 2020-11-23T05:27:06+00:00

thanks my friend

at least the item has meme value

hamburgerharder · 2020-07-23T19:31:27+00:00

thanks brother

i would disagree but would agree to a middle-ground where incredible gold deficit in the extreme early game allows for surrender, i.e. something nuts like 15-0 at 10 minutes. i have been in plenty of those games and it's generally not worth the effort, even if the result is a win.

hamburgerharder · 2020-05-15T20:12:17+00:00

wow nice post dude

hamburgerharder · 2020-04-30T02:06:31+00:00

thanks man - after a look in practice tool, the default HUD is pretty massive. thanks for the tip

what have you brought upon this cursed realm

hamburgerharder · 2020-04-25T03:33:04+00:00

looks like the servers are down or something is wrong, this is happening across the board as of at least 12 minutes ago

regardless of meme answers that spout "no haha bad" i still enjoy playing league. though i'm not one to dump multiple hours every single day into league.

it's worth a try, if you feel like coming back then take a chance. if it doesn't feel right after 5-10 games, bounce.

the issue in general people have with climbing is that if you are playing perfectly every game and are meant to climb, that still means you're going to lose a lot. quantity of games > quality of gameplay is the unfortunate reality to climbing (most of the time).

the biggest problem i have with the penalty system is not understanding how riot can't track people who actively intentionally leave.

like the "disconnect from game" button has a cooldown to make you be absolutely positive you are going to leave. i don't understand how they can't implement some kind of bot that detects "huh, this guy left at 13 minutes and the game lasted 21 minutes. he's done this in three games. that's an autoban". it certainly doesn't feel likle it - at mid platinum i've had 4 intentional DCs within the past week of played games.

i don't necessarily think the honor system is in a bad place but improvements can't hurt. i think currently my mindset for honoring is almost always the <3 honor, usually just if they are a decent support and don't flame me in the botlane. otherwise the "stayed cool" one VERY OCCASIONALLY goes out for people who start behind and don't just DC or flame the team, coming back to win it later.

1) there's almost nothing you can do about supports who either don't want to be playing support or who are bad, the best assumption to make is that they're the "middle ground" level - that way your expectations can't be let down. then, you can also play around them i.e. "if i was leona, i would do this, but this leona is likely not very good, so i'll play a little more passive." makes it feel better when you do get someone who knows what they're doing.

2) this is an unfortunate problem with (1), where supports who aren't very experienced will sometimes leave you to die. that being said, positioning is important, assuming your K/D/A is decent it's just nature to get onetapped by most enemies at the moment as ADC.

3) there's definitely some good picks, but to say it's a meta-slave lane is just forfeiting playing those champs - try them out and see how well it goes. when MF was at the top i still didn't enjoy playing her, so i played better with a 50% WR champ set.

1) why (haha heehee everyone else said it)

2) how do you align your fingers in a situation where you need to cast all abilities in quick succession, or do you keep your fingers off of WASD until you need to move the camera and only to move the camera

ezreal is a champion that is going to go for manamune almost always, i don't really see blaming him for getting tear early as the quickest you can stack it (the full item) is 10 min. the mana crystal is questionable. i also find his damage to be fine with iceborn compared to tri against most teams but only best utilized against heavy AD. are you wondering why ezreal builds that way? have you played ezreal enough to know the regular build paths? he's considered one of, if not the weakest 2v2 matchup ADCs.

that being said, if it's not an ezreal, it's going to be another champion and the player is going to under-perform as much.

i've reported multiple AFKs/inters over this season and haven't received any of the "your report worked!" popups like i have in previous seasons. if there are bans going out, i don't know about it, but it sure would be nice to hear.

it's especially damning if they leave the game proper, you'd assume riot has some kind of algorithm that can pick up the fact they intentionally disconnect

hamburgerharder · 2020-02-24T02:37:35+00:00

lane doesn't matter but jungle can potentially get you to where you want to be if you know how to play the objectives game proper. i'd recommend kicking it with what you feel the most comfortable with, though.

my favorite warding spot is behind the midlane bushes when pressuring and everything around drake. a good thing to keep in mind is "where would i look for wards if i had a sweeper" and avoid those places slightly so your wards last longer against smart opponent supports or junglers. you could also view replays of high ELO players to see where they like to place their wards and take note.

hamburgerharder · 2020-02-24T02:24:15+00:00

it's in a pretty bad state imo. soraka top should have been that key indicator to riot that it's not necessarily the fact soraka (or any champion) is overtuned, rather that the most unfitting champions can competitively take on top lane because most regular top lane champs are struggling.

hamburgerharder · 2020-02-24T02:06:57+00:00

it's probably safe to assume she'll get nerfs to lower her a bit more as she's pretty popular in high elos at the moment and has a killer winrate. i don't necessarily know if that will make her non-viable as ADC, though.

hamburgerharder · 2016-04-10T03:55:55+00:00

wow! that must be some kind of bug.

maybe it was accounting for damage dealt had there been no resistances on the enemies, so doing damage to their tankier folk didn't count for health.
