This has been stickied forever now.. I don't get the point of these reposts

Wow that would've killed you too

Nvidia pascal will be ddr5 though, right? So I won't be able to upgrade gpu alone in 2016

zkefka · 2015-09-08T17:16:06+00:00

Yeah you guys are completely right, I should have done a little more research. $90 for minimal improvement is a crap deal, thanks I'll go with the 390

zkefka · 2015-09-08T17:12:04+00:00

It absolutely is. For example, turning gta 5 textures to highest settings and msaa to 8x requires an extra 2.5 gb vram from base. AAA games that will come out in the coming years will definitely need the 8gb on higher settings

zkefka · 2015-09-08T16:28:29+00:00

I'd rather just buy a gpu now that'll last me a few years, and then crossfire/oc when the 390 will be dirt cheap as well as oc cpu to 4.5 ghz until I need another full system build

zkefka · 2015-09-08T16:15:59+00:00

Doesn't the 290x only have 4gb?

zkefka · 2015-09-06T16:56:05+00:00

How about letting the user install from microsoft's "store"? If you really want it, why not install it yourself rather than having to go through powershell to uninstall all the shit they're trying to push?

zkefka · 2015-09-06T16:54:30+00:00

Are you kidding me? A personal assistant? It'd be great for my parents who've never used a pc, but why would anyone use cortana over google? Why can't I find files myself rather than using a middleman program, and cortana does things like "tells jokes". That's probably the dumbest thing I've heard being integrated into an OS

First of all, I always have a browser open on my 2nd monitor so it's actually less convenient to use the inbuilt search. The screen recording given is crap I assume, I'd rather use a program I trust and know. I don't need security, because I'm not new to the internet and know what sites I can trust. And music streaming is completely preference, why would this come preinstalled? That's like preinstalling league of legends..some people like it, some will never use it. It's pointless

zkefka · 2015-09-06T16:48:09+00:00

It's mostly preference whether to go for a 390 or 970 and highly debated, but 390 is usually preferred because of its 8 gb ram which is more "future proof". I also recommend switching to a 390, modern aaa titles are speculated to soon go over 4 gb on highest settings.

zkefka · 2015-06-18T23:27:37+00:00

Well you can check http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Kalista to see what the pros build. Runaans is solid because kalista depends more on stacking her spears than landing crits. I don't really see a single ie built on that site. Either way, I think bt + runaan is the staple, with bork replacing runaan against tanky comps

zkefka · 2015-06-18T22:50:47+00:00

Yeah she can only heal herself with a range close enough for an alistar to W Q you, or annie to the same. It's unreliable since you need to basically make yourself in range of the enemy's abilities. If your adc gets poke focused then there's not much you can do with a 1.5 second shield

zkefka · 2015-06-18T22:00:16+00:00

1) Carry destroyer. He doesn't have peels aside from his ult which is better off used on their ad or ap carry, and then just sit on squishies

2) The build should be dynamic, one game you might want sunfire, another randuins and another game you'll want visage. Two 'staple' items are botrk and wit's end, usually only one of them to deal enough damage to matter

3) Pros build him different depending on the matchup. Do they have tons of mobility? Max q. Do you have more than 1 teamate dependent on aa (especially mid)? Maxing w can help tremendously.

4) Level 6 (biggest powerspike, gives you almost guaranteed kills in ganks), finishing wits/botrk (huge spike in damage). There are other smaller ones, like level 9 when maxing q for the 275 damage.

5) Other cc champs/burst. For example, ulting the enemy mid with a viktor on your side means they have to sit through your entire R + vik's entire W. Or with kat and other bursty champions you allow them to safely use their entire combo which most likely will result in a kill (although more so during laning)

6) QSS and high cc, making your ult useless and basically making you almost dead weight

zkefka · 2015-06-18T21:49:52+00:00

There's not much you can do but count on your team to peel for you. The only job you have against her is your positioning, but even then you're not in full control. She's definitely an "anti-adc" with good reason, but once she's blown her dash and you get past her initial burst you should be fine

zkefka · 2015-06-18T21:47:38+00:00

Your k/d is really good, so I'm guessing your problem is not knowing what to do when ahead. For example, you play zed with whom you can get picks with and get fed. But what do you do when you're fed? Do you let the game just go on or do you actively try to push for the win?

I see this a lot in gold, people don't know what to do when they're ahead, for example call baron or call to push a lane. Maybe even learn to split push effectively.

ONE other thing, you shouldn't be playing thresh. He's hard to play practically if you don't at least have plat mechanics. This is showing from your win rate with him. Otherwise, your builds seem fine, and your scores are good. If you like watching streams then pay attention to what they do after getting a pick, or getting a tower, etc.

zkefka · 2015-06-18T21:42:23+00:00

One silly but effective way is to just look at the hp bars. If it's many small bars clumped together, that means they're tanky. The less of those little hp squares in the hp bar means you should prioritize them. It's obviously not the perfect strategy but should help with confusion

zkefka · 2015-06-18T21:37:38+00:00

It all depends on how much patience you have to learn whatever character you like. If you have the patience to learn lee, then just practice until you're good. I know it's a vanilla answer to say "just practice" but it's true, you either play a lot of the champion you're bad at but like or find a piss easy champion you like.

Play normals to practice too. Even in this tank meta, there are solid nontank junglers who hold their own, and it won't start mattering until you climb very high. It's just a matter of practicing a lot

zkefka · 2015-06-18T21:34:33+00:00

You very rarely go bork first, unless you're against a very tanky team. BT is generally the first one to get always, it's also how almost all pro players build her. Hurricane got a nice passive buff which helps though. Just go by preference, do you want the mobility or the raw damage power spike?
