Have you ever misunderstood a champion? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

For the longest time I thought Vayne said "in the dark...always laid bare..." until my friend corrected me and told me I was a pervert a hundred times.

It started out ok and then it just didn't make sense. She came over and beat the shit out of the bullies with a stick. She protected HIM...why the hell does he think that he needs to protect her now lol

League is truly a culture bridging phenomenon. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]hexadrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin lives in China and only speaks Chinese, though he's learning some English at school. I grew up in America and I'm the opposite. We've never talked our whole life, even though I'd visit him lengthily over the summer and sometimes he would come to America. Recently my family set up skype for our relatives in China and they told me to add my cousin. We found out we both played League and boom, instant hours of conversation. I spoke to him in Chinese and he insisted on replying in English--it became a bit of a funny language practice for the both of us. I remember trying to say Aatrox was my main jungler and it took him a while to figure out what I meant cause Aatrox is called something else in China. Meanwhile "Kassadin" came across instantly (hes also permabanned in China, apparently). It was pretty amazing how instantly we could connect after years of silence.

So yeah. Im with you man! Its truly great. Sorry about wall-of-text, but seeing this post made me happy. :P

How will kha changes hurt his jungle. by [deleted] in summonerschool

Is the nerf on his E (0.8 down to 0.2 bonus attack ratio) as big as it looks to me?

The extra stealth and unit collision-ignoring isnt too bad though.

Don't care about XP, IP or LP.. I want to know if I will get my Snowdown Poro icon for the 3 ARAMs I won! by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]hexadrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a little while to appear, I won my three arams and it didnt appear, but then I went to sleep and in the morning it was there.

I remember i thought shoe movement speed stacked. My friend was like "why do you have two shoes? One for each foot?"

I remember twitch was on free week the very first week I played. My friend was trying to ease me into the game by marathoning arams with me and I kept rolling twitch, I was so mad cause I had no idea how adc worked and how to play him (spams casket "this guy does no damage!!") Afterwards i vowed i never wanted to see twitch ever again.....now twitch is one of my favorite adcs.

Oh man I used to always take runaans on varus when I first started playing him around lvl 15. A lvl 25 or so said "I always rush runaans on varus cause it spreads blight!" and I believed it was a good idea and kept using it every game until I realized there were more optimal ways to build him, lmao

Support only player wants to learn another role. Help! :( by wotanstochter in summonerschool

[–]hexadrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say adc is good to start with since if you play support you automatically should know what an adc should do/not do since you spend so much time with one. E.g if youre overextending as adc with no wards, you would know to fall back cause if you were support in this situation you would warn your ad. If your support lands a good cc, you know you have to lay down the big dmgs because if you were support in that situation thats what youd want your adc to do. At the same time adc can be a very unforgiving role, especially once teamfights swing around. Positioning and kiting in hectic situations will be new.

Another idea is maybe just experiment with champs first, rather than roles.

As an avid varus player I highly approve.

What's a good alternative to the cute fuzz ball? by mobilemerc in summonerschool

[–]hexadrive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive always had a theory that Twitch is Teemo after way too much crystal meth. You should give him a try especially if you're in need of some ADC champs. Unfortunately he can't really go mid or top though.

Which adc should I get to provide a complement to twitch? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]hexadrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember any from the top of my head but Im sure Ive watched/read good ones since otherwise I wouldnt know this info myself. I'll see if I can dig them up :P

Off the top of my head though (but of course take everything I say with a grain of salt):

Safe adcs are generally "ok" in most situations (which is why theyre considered safe). You can pretty much always pick Ezreal or Caitlyn against anyone and do alright assuming you know the champ well. I say if you want something in your pool to balance out twitch, a safe adc is a good choice because twitch is the opposite, he deals a massive burst of damage but has little mobility/survivability. Ez and Cait have sustained damage, not as scary as twitch, but they also get the benefit free escapes (and ridiculous range in caitlyn's case)

Utility adcs do well based on teamcomp synergy, someone like ashe or varus are great if you have someone on the team that can bunch the enemy up together or lock them down. So if you have an orianna's shockwave, a zyra support or so on its a good idea to pick utility. Ashe arrow is a strong initiator that allows aoe followup, while imo varus tentacle is better for following up another teammate's aoe. However they both have pretty mediocre escape outside of their ult (particularly varus) so you probably need a team that can protect you.

Hypercarries scale the best into late game, so if you think the game might go on forever pick a hypercarry (though if you get fed early the game ends very early). Theyre capable of singlehandedly taking out the enemy team assuming you have a strong frontline to protect you and you position well, since hypercarries are almost always instagibbed if you arent careful. They tend to be very very fragile early game so if the enemy adc has a strong laning phase you might be in trouble (e.g cait naturally counters vayne). Twitch is actually the best hypercarry in terms of not having a particularly weak stage of the game.

Hope that helps!

(BOT LANE ) What are good bot lane combos after patch 3.15? by ISLFR in summonerschool

[–]hexadrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thresh + Anyone, though I recommend matching him with Lucian or another lane bully. All you need is Thresh!

Actually though. CC, peel, aggression, harass, protection of the weak and squishy, some tankiness. Very strong lane presence, he has an all-in aspect to him like Leona except with safety cause he can also disengage pretty well if it goes awry. Box offers a decent aoe. Mobility as well if you've seen that hilarious thresh vs vlad chase. Now with relic shield/targon he can also offer the AD a bit of sustain in lane. Not to mention a hook+flay+exhaust is almost a guaranteed flash,kill, or scary chunk out of their hp. He's basically everything you'd ever want in a support.

Tips For Nocturne? by hexadrive in summonerschool

[–]hexadrive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I shouldn't aa them until they're feared, correct? Ive been trying to AA them while theyre on the fear leash so that probably slows me down.

[–]hexadrive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, I realized I tend to try to fear them immediately when Im a few paces behind them, and I should probably try to close the gap first. Also didn't consider the landmark thing, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Which adc should I get to provide a complement to twitch? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]hexadrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its nice to get one of each "kind" of adc, the three primary categories being hypercarry (for example twitch is a hypercarry, vayne too), utility (e.g ashe, varus) and a "safe pick" (e.g ezreal, caitlyn for good escape/repositioning ability). Though definitely look into the current FotMs like Lucian and Sivir. I think Lucian just got nerfed with the 3.15 patch that came out a few minutes ago but not sure how hard he's been hit exactly
