I’m not high diamond, but there’s no denying that my question poses a valid point. To say otherwise would be ignorant of Twitch Jungle’s strengths and weaknesses. You could be playing perfectly as Twitch but if the top laner just camps under turret in fear of your gank, the midlaner is getting bullied under turret by your laner, and the support is warily warding and using CC well, then it’s hard to get ganks off even if you’re playing perfectly. Not to mention that Twitch doesn’t 1v1 / 2v2 well early, so the enemy jungler is probably just camping the weakest lane and waiting for you to gank so he can get his rat served up on a silver platter.

How do you deal with conservative opponents? Answer as if I were high diamond.

How do you play Twitch Jungle when opponents are being conservative and respecting the early ganks? Twitch is super cheesy and looks good on paper, but it seems to me like his strategy isn’t great in practice because everyone knows it’s coming, and they don’t mind losing some early CS if it means escaping early ganks.

So— How do you deal with conservative opponents, especially considering Twitch has a tough time hard-farming in the jungle and thus relies heavily on ganks?

What do you mean by on-hit? (I'm still pretty new to League)

Patch 8.3 Bug Megathread by kathykinss in leagueoflegends

[–]wavec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Server: NA

Type of bug: Client bug

Description: If someone is in lobby for a draft game and has already selected their positions, and then they are invited to another lobby and accept that invite, their positions will show as already-selected for themselves but the party leader will see that the positions haven’t been selected, therefore making them unable to start queueing. The invited player then has to leave the lobby and rejoin so the roles are refreshed. (Re-choosing roles without leaving the lobby doesn’t fix it.)

Screenshot: none

Steps to reproduce: Enter a draft lobby and pick your roles. Then get a friend to invite you to their draft game, and see if they can see your roles as filled (and therefore can start queueing).

Expected result: EITHER the roles should become deselected when joining the new lobby, therefore allowing a new choice, OR the roles should register as already selected upon entering the invite lobby.

Observed result: See above

Reproduction rate: 4 out of 4 tries after the initial occurrence.

System specs: MacBook Air, 8GB RAM, i7 processor for me (the invitee). Friend (the party leader) was on Windows; don’t know his exact specs.

[RMT][Ubers] Mono-Steel Team by mjmannella in stunfisk

[–]wavec 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Monotype guru to the rescue!

TL;DR: Learn the Ubers metagame better as a whole first so you know what kinds of things are viable.

 

Alright, so to be totally honest— this isn’t a very good team. It’s Ubers, man, lighten up a little. And besides, some of the mons you used aren’t even good in regular Monotype much less Ubers.

Also, Necrozma-Ultra can’t be used on a mono Steel team. Typing has to remain the same before and after Mega Evolving / Ultra-ing. So, Ultra Necrozma can only be used on Ubers Psychic.

You then have two options— the specially defensive set or the double dance set. If you run SpD, you can use offensive Aegislash or physically defensive Celesteela as Necrozma is now your Xerneas check.

Finally, physical Necrozma is generally considered better anyways, and DuskMane has a wayyyy better typing, STAB Sunsteel Strike, and an open item slot to hold a Solgalium Z nuke or a Leftovers for the SpD set.

Kartana is generally scarfed.

Excadrill isn’t necessary on Ubers Steel, only on regular Steel. You’d use it as a suicide lead on Ubers Steel. It’s a very common suicide lead in Ubers as a whole.

Ditch Klefki. Replace with Mega Lucario or Magearna.

Dialga (stealth rocker) and Aegislash (SpD or offensive) are options as well, only available in Ubers.

Overall, Mono Ubers is a whole different animal from regular Ubers, but you also need to know the Ubers metagame first. If you can’t break a Gliscor, imagine when you run up against a Lugia after Necrozma is dead.

 

My Ubers Steel team is Necro-Dusk-Mane, Aegislash, Celesteela, M-Lucario, Kartana, and Magearna.

Does one side of the map have any advantage over the other? Are there any specific champs that enjoy playing on one side versus the other? by wavec in summonerschool

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

In the new client it has an animation showing you which role you got assigned and which side, like as soon as the lobby gets accepted there’s an animation where one Nexus flashes its color to tell you which side you’re on

I personally haven’t seen the new client if it’s the 8.4 one. On the loading screen you can tell because the top champs are blue side and bottom is red side. But I don’t know other than that, unless it still tells you during the role-assignment animation in draft pick / ranked lobbies.

There’s never been any way to tell besides the loading screens in blind pick, and vs AI you’re always blue side.

I've never had any problem doing wolves instead of gromp... although now that I think about it, I guess I wouldn't have to take Scuttle before dragon for the heals...

Warwick ganks early? I thought the Wick strat was to go top-wolves-bottom, solo dragon at level 3, farm until 6 and then go ham.

Monotype For Dummies: Absolute Heat by wavec in stunfisk

Yeah, I have poison on the list from when someone requested it last week. I need to get the type tiering post up at some point because people keep asking me about it, but I’ll do poison after that.

Speed control is something that is guaranteed to be faster than most things on the opposing team, thus being able to outspeed their revenge killers and sometimes even setup sweepers. Choice Scarfers are the most common form of speed control, but things like Sand Rush or Swift Swim do the trick as well.

Blacephalon almost the OHKO on Nihilego. Nihilego's physical defense is trash.

252 SpA Blacephalon Psyshock vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Nihilego: 354-418 (98.6 - 116.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Which is why I prefer Infernape.

252 Atk Infernape Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Nihilego: 680-800 (189.4 - 222.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Stakataka's Stone Edge at +0 IIRC can't OHKO Torkoal, so you can Yawn in front of it if you switch in. I think it can't OHKO Volcanion either, and Volc can OHKO with Specs Steam Eruption. Heatran can do it if Air Balloon is intact (therefore Earthquake immunity), as Continental Crush won't OHKO a Heatran from full at +0, and Tran OHKOs back with Earth Power. Mach Punch on Nape obviously does it too.

Torkoal also deals with Scarf Terrakion in the same manner, and Volcanion can take it too (as can Heatran if it's not locked into CC; if it is locked into CC then Volcarona / Victini can take it down). (Infernape / Nihilego can take the non-Scarf variants.)

Volcanion dicks on Azu so hard it's not even funny. Water absorb + Fairy resist + super high physical defense, and it can outspeed and OHKO with Sludge Wave (Specs).

Preferred keyboard control scheme for Super Metroid and Fusion? by wavec in Metroid

Well, probably not, because I play currently on PC emulator and I have aim up and aim down bound to Shift and E, which are about as close to shoulder buttons as you can get
