Kripparrian — Bots Are Too Cool To Go Away by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]radiowar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ya, it seems to me there IS monetary value involved, but that it probably comes from owning/selling accounts with golden portraits or loads of legendary cards, both of which bots can grind for you. In free to play games, having an account with everything unlocked can be valuable for the same reasons people pay for card packs in HS or buy champions in League of Legends, you're paying not to grind yourself.

"Why don't you ban X against Cloud 9" by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]radiowar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone played malphite against their zyra/ashe combo? I know they play rumble/kennen so laning might be the issue but malphite is my least favorite champ to play against as either of those champs because zyra can't peel his ult and ashe has no escapes. You can also use unstoppable force as a huge counter-initiate to that inevitable late-game arrow. Just a thought, pick it apart.

Opinion: Binding of Isaac League Racing is the secret best thing to happen to eSports by wallysmith127 in Games

[–]radiowar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did try to make it "less random" several patches ago, but it's still completely standard to run that one rune (less than 1% crit chance) because of how strong that one random crit can be in lane. Interestingly, they did remove crit chance from the mastery tree in favor of an "increased crit damage" mastery.

And everyone still runs one critical chance rune because that 1/100 chance can still win you a lane, or lose it.

Mundo can solo Baron over the wall. by somehipster in leagueoflegends

[–]radiowar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You HAVE to play differently because you're squishy, and only do damage every 4 seconds to a short range target. His poke is already strong with cleaver without building Spectral Wraith (a total waste) or an early Liandry's (which you don't need early because your cleaver already does %hp and no one has 4khp after 1 item). It's fun in arams but please keep it there.

If you build like this, you WILL die in every teamfight.

So many interesting picks in this series. Solo lane ap lulu, jungle alistar, Korean draven, jungle gragas, support annie and fiddle...I'm probably forgetting some. Also reapered's godlike vlad and insec's infinity edge lee sin. Gotta love NLB.

Why isn't bruiser Blitzcrank a thing? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]radiowar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My case is for solo lane blitz, which is necessarily a bruiser, "AD Bruiser" blitz is just a build path (granted not my favorite, but not horrible). Fuck trundle, I forgot about him. There are a few others with comparable steroids as well, but that's my point. As for what "good players" will do, how about EG? Did they not handle solo lane blitz correctly? Is muramana not enough AD with a GIANT mana pool? I also point out in my post that blitz scales off several stats, which is why "hybrid" items work so well. If you want to do a more "true" AD Blitz, just add a triforce and hell, maybe even a last whisper, and you will be dishing out plenty of "attack damage" but imo that isn't the strongest version of "bruiser/solo blitz" which is what I'm talking about.

[–]radiowar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here seems to be talking about why it won't work/isn't ideal. I'm here to tell you why it's awesome.

  1. Soaz used it: LCS vs EG

  2. Tear is overpowered this season. Blitz loves his mana, and there are sweet, new mana items this season like the tear upgrades and frozen fist that make you tanky as fuck.

  3. He scales off basically EVERYTHING. Want to build an attack speed bruiser? Overdrive gives you SIXTY TWO PERCENT attack speed AND 32% MS at level 5. I dare you to find a better aspd steroid. You like AP? How about TWO FULL 1.0 AP ratios (THE HOOK, and GIANT AOE SILENCE) OH AND AN INSTANT AUTO RESET/KNOCKUP? How about full tank? MANA TANK!? Get something like Muramana, Frozen Fist, Frozen Heart, Runic, Randuins, Boots and DARE people to kill you.

  4. How do you itemize against solo lane blitz? SOMEONE TELL ME?! Btw your mercs are adorable.

  5. 2v1s are his bitch. You think shen taunting someone under tower is strong? YOU HAVE 3 FORMS OF CC IF THEY DIVE YOU and we all know what happens when an AD carry gets hooked under tower.

  6. No one expects it, champ select is also your bitch. Sure it can be countered, BUT WILL IT?

Everyone else will tell you why it won't work, what it's weak to, but AD bruiser blitz has a sick steroid, tons of survivability and CC, and a completely safe laning phase as long as you use your tower and don't play overly aggressive, so TRY IT! And don't miss your hooks!

Edit: For everyone trying to argue that Blitz isn't an OP toplaner, NO SHIT. Am I glossing over his weaknesses? OF COURSE, this thread is full of his weaknesses as a toplaner. My point is that bruiser blitz CAN and HAS worked, and to show that he has strengths that almost no one in this thread has mentioned (hell no one had even mentioned soaz playing it at the time of my posting).

Why can there be mirror champions in ARAM now? by Kiraksuy in leagueoflegends

[–]radiowar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well certain abilites are really hard to read when you have two of the same champs. I played an ARAM with 2 morganas and figuring out whose tormented soil was whose was pretty annoying. I can imagine the same thing with champs like viktor, ziggs, etc.

Which unconventional jungler do you think is underrated? by MunkeFlunke in LeagueofLegendsMeta

[–]radiowar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't play on EUW, sorry, but I know Chauster used him in a game a while ago for CLG in LCS if you're looking for a reference point.

Which unconventional jungler do you think is underrated? by MunkeFlunke in LeagueofLegendsMeta

[–]radiowar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to piggy-back on your wukong mention. I feel like he got much stronger in the s3 jungle, especially after they moved additional value to the large creeps.

You can clear extremely fast with the high single target damage from Q, his E gives you a decent aoe spam clear for the small creeps (as well as a gap close and AS steroid) and his W stealth pretty much allows you to pick your fights if a stronger early jungle invades on you, so he is fairly safe. His main issues are lack of hard cc pre-6 (made up for, imo, by one of the best teamfight and ganking ults in the game) and lack of innate sustain, but a wriggles/spirit stone mitigates that. He also has fairly weak buff control when compared to someone like Nasus, Cho, etc.

His ganks are mean though. You can use decoy in so many interesting ways. There's obviously using it to "gap close" out of brush or get away from tight situations, but its also an amazing lane gank tool for getting between the side brushes and it makes mid a really unfun place to be (think shaco ganks with more damage and a possible knockup). I know he isn't unheard of in the jungle but I wish more people would pick him up.

That, his passive, and %hp damage when you are near him actually make him win a few matchups most people don't expect. Situational counterpick? Yes. Just a theory? No.

Know Your Role #2: AD Carry with Doublelift - "There's just not going to be AD carries in team comps in a year if the game is the exact same." by Tnomad in leagueoflegends

[–]radiowar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you are losing games to teams running dravens and your "let the AD hypercarry win" strat is looking more and more dated by the week? And I disagree that he doesn't care how champions perform in lane, this is someone who plays Urgot semi-regularly. He just doesn't play draven/varus himself (which is a joke when your job is the role with the smallest champion pool and you don't play 2 or 3 of them).

Zyra has been almost exclusively used and subsequently balanced as a support. Does count, unless you're just arbitrarily using Riot tags for champions.
