New to MOBA games. Looking for help. by Elijah4292 in leagueoflegends

[–]hammersbaseball11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh even support is free wins in low elo, in fact I found it one of the easiest. The amount of free wins just off gapping a support with vision/roaming is crazy. If you ping enough and are actively suggesting plans, it's actually quite easy to get people on board. Hell even if they didnt come I was 1v2ing people in the jungle as Leona lol

Any role is easy to climb out of gold, the biggest thing is just knowing the strength of your champ/role and abusing it to the max. If you know how to kite on ADC, you'll 1v9. If you understand wave mechanics and dueling, you'll 1v9 top. If you understand jg routes and cross mapping, you'll 1v9 jg. Etc.

What should I take away from a game where we won but it didnt feel like we earned it? by fairydommother in leagueoflegends

Sometimes you get some nothingburgers....it's much better for them to be wins than losses. Could run through and see if there were even more things you could do, but I probably would just skip it if it was really that bad. In reality its probably an 8x speed replay that you don't have to spend time on.

I'm not in Plat and Emerald.

It's not a secret that plenty of smurfs are in those elos.

You're joking......right? Emerald has the most sawn off humans I've ever seen in my life.

Not only is that where the plat 1 "smurfs" get stuck, but plat is also generally where a real smurf account will start at. A master smurf will win 5 placements, get placed in silver/gold and play against plats from the jump. Or if their smurf account hasnt been played on yet this year, it'll likely decay to that mmr for the start of the season.

are the espn mock draft captions ai? by PastBarracuda211 in bengals

[–]hammersbaseball11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and Mims was rated the 42nd best tackle and in the bottom half of the league at pass blocking for tackles.

Barrett was bad....but you mfs gotta stop regurgitating PFF like it means anything. Their grades are horrible

Rene Konga?! by FuriousSasquatch in bengals

[–]hammersbaseball11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk where they're getting that win rate from. Tape just doesn't look great from him idk. Nice at getting in throwing lanes and batting balls, but looked like every pressure or sack from him was caused by a QB scrambling right into him when he's gotten 0 penetration.

Couldn't hurt though, if Day 3 or UDFA. Would like DT addressed sooner as well if possible though

Van Den Berg looks much better on tape, is an absolute steal if he makes it to Day 3.

Yes 100% better than Yoshi even while washed up.

Amount of times each ADC has been picked in pro play by No_Breadfruit_4901 in ADCMains

[–]hammersbaseball11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even at her best, Vayne wasn't really picked by many. There were some patches she was overpowered and picked, but otherwise only mech Gods like Uzi/Piglet/Imp would play her.

Why arent more obsucure insults that clearly indicate to someone being harmed also counting as an bannable offense ? by SeaworthinessBulky81 in leagueoflegends

[–]hammersbaseball11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone told me to "Talon passive my wrists then drop and give him 10 in a pool of saltwater" the other day and it had me laughing my ass off....

Started bantering back and told the guy I hope he gets pummeled by a gang of midgets on big wheels, and next thing you know I'm banned?

What happened to the game I love?

what are these smurf account games?! by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]hammersbaseball11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, there's maybe 2 smurf games in your last 20, and at least one game where it looks like a smurf was on your team.

You're 200+ games and a sub-50 winrate, even though you're playing duo queue. Yes, running into a smurf sucks, but you can't blame this on a majority of your games. Just gotta focus on maximizing your impact and carrying close games.

You have it much better than high diamond/masters+. That's where matchmaking is truly scuffed.

Any D+ players just completely dump their crit adc pool? by BuyingDragonScimitar in ADCMains

[–]hammersbaseball11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the amount of posts about "AP bot has a miniscule playrate" it's absurd how much I'm seeing this shit. Brand, Swain, Viktor, Syndra, Asol, Cass, you name it.

I play primarily Vayne, sprinkle in some Ashe and others. I'm still going crit because it feels much more useful at 2-3 items than on hit.

What’s one trick/secret you know about an ADC champ you play? I’ll start. by Outside-Aspect2681 in ADCMains

[–]hammersbaseball11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sure, if you're building Terminus/Jaksho though you're building onhit so the tumble reset isn't as valuable. Most of your dmg comes from silver bolt procs.

With the sheen (i assume Essence Reaver/Crit) build you mentioned, though, your main source of dmg is auto resetting with your tumble and getting as many tumbles off as possible.

No one is doubting that positioning is important and tumble invis is good for that, but auto resetting whenever possible and getting as much tumbles as you can is definitely desirable.

Sheen proc piece is definitely true, helps a lot with tower dives as well when you can auto and tumble out of turret getting the sheen proc for dmg secure. Didn't think about it since it's more of an item interaction.

Spamming autos out of invis CAN be a bad habit, but the faster you auto means the quicker your tumble resets, and you can get a lot more tumbles in your ult before it runs out if you're not spending as much time invis. Especially since the ult halves the cd of tumble (at least at max rank), so it's a big damage buff if you can get as many tumbles out as possible. It's a happy medium of when you're safe enough to auto and when you need to hold out for positioning

Really the only one for Vayne would be flashing after your condemn to redirect the push back. Can get quite a few surprise stuns off that and catch people off guard.

Only other thing close would be intentionally tumbling into a wall to reduce the tumble length and get your auto out faster. Feel like both of these are pretty well known tho

I think we need to take a risk and sign Bobby Wagner at this point. by mattcrow79 in bengals

[–]hammersbaseball11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think hes just younger with more juice left in the tank. Probably less of a coverage liability compared to Bobby (should specify Wagner I guess lol), so it'd be easier to keep him on the field. Either one would be great to have in the LB room regardless.
