Played a Yi jungle, against a Yi jungle.
Other team invaded my blue, we warded it and Morg supp threw Qs in to harrass, while I invaded their blue/frog solo. Got it, went back to my red and when I worked through my jungle again to get down and gank bot lane, found that my blue buff was still alive.
I.. I didn't know what to think about that, but let Xerath get a blue buff 3 minutes in, he dominated ahri mid and I was left to gank bot/top all game.
Fed Cait and nasus kills until they were unstoppable, needless to say we won. But the failed invade just confused me so much!

So I've picked up Vlad recently... Really liking him, even moreso than the other champs I normally play. Fairly safe laning phase, his mid-to-late game power spikes are hilariously awesome, and it's immensely satisyfing to drop your ult on the entire enemy team during an engage and watch them get away, only for you to score a pentakill seconds later.

It's like a Karthus ult, only better!

Blood Pool is OP for avoiding things.

What the heck is up with the lag/lagspikes on EUW currently? I played a game earlier tonight and I couldn't do anything. At one moment there are two enemy minios in lane, I'm at full health and two seconds later the enemy Akali is there, I have 200 hp left and a whole enemy minion wave is there as well.... My internet connection was fine as well, since I had just logged of WoW and hadn't lagged at all. My League ms was at 76, as well.

Getting that too? Shit so I'm not the only one, it's pissing me off quite a bit.

Yeah i love playing Vlad too. Mainly because his powerspike reminds me of playing Nasus. Starting level 9 there is allmost 0 your lane opponent can do to you, since you can sustain any poke, and push the lane super hard with your E. Oh you thought about ganking me? Bitch please ult- e- q- e - w and you're both dead.



The first time 9gag has given me a chuckle (it's my quilty pleasure).

It is finally removed now? Saw it in the shop yesterday when I played some Kata games, but I never buy it as I always forget to use it, or press it when I want to Zhonya or the other way around x)

When is it going? I'm still abusing it to fuck on annie while i can. Got placed in gold 3, time to zerg to plat with it.

How do people forget to use items? O.o

How do people forget to use items? O.o

I sometimes forgot to use it, but my main problem was using it AFTER my spells. So my basic combo on Veigar would be: E-W-Q-R-DFG. Needless to say it wasn't as effective.

[Shankpanda]

Lux is good. this is my character choice

[Noxina]

How do people forget to use items? O.o

Pretty simple; I've played mostly top or support, so when I play a mid laner I tend to forget to use DFG because it's not in my fingers to have it in my combo. It's all about practice though.

Oh and the same thing as Ergar, I've so many times used it after the rotation like "Oh fuck I got that item!", love it when it kills them though.

This match was fucked up.. Cant believe we won a 4v5 match.

Shaco jg is a god tier soloq pick atm, no denying it.

Shaco jg is a god tier soloq pick atm, no denying it.

If you're good with him, sure. If you're not (and this is the case I come across far more often in soloqueue), then they'll be a detriment to your team more often than not.

[Deleted]

yeah shaco is a good pick if played well. Played a game 1 min ago and he was just wrecking our team, we had 0 map control our objective control, i think i'll be banning him now if i can.

4 promo games played and 3 won, shaco cost me my killing streak

This a million times, if you're any good with him. If you play him like a regular jungler, then you might as well pick something like Vi and carry A LOT harder with half the effort.

[Deleted]

Can see why her popularity is rising.

[Noxina]

Yeah, they talked about it at the LCS today, the don't feel it is big enough to ban her from competitive play or restart a game if it happens as "it will not happen that many times in a match" as they said.

But yeah, big bug indeed! It is a lot of damage that can be blocked by using that trick.

[Deleted]

well, i finished my promos 6/10 won and got gold V division. I ended last season Silver II and did some games after the season ended which ended me for the reset Gold IV. Quite happy with my placement matches, if i keep playing like this i can end this season at least in gold i think

[Jibjabb]

I did my placements and went 8-2. They gave me Gold 1 which isnt too bad I guess, since I was Plat 5 at the end last year.

I pretty much spammed Evelynn unless jungle was taken in which case I went Brand once and Sona once, won both those games and was 6-2 as Eve. Funny a few times I had people shocked that evelynn was still viable if you know what youre doing, the mana sustain buff helped a lot. Shes no longer extremely reliant on blue

The most fun part is, that in current meta (with rise in popularity of "unavoidable" champions like J4 and Shaco) this bug is needed for an ADC without escape, not being blown up in a millisecond is a huge advantage compared to FUCKING TWITCH ULT because now i seriously think "do i want to turn my ult on in this fight?" and often the answer is "no" because of its stupid design.

But even if you do have an escape, often it's too late to use it, you are either forced out of teamfight or forced to attack enemy tanks. Sad times to play an ADC. Want to see an overhaul on all these gap closers
