TL;DR

The short of it: Sion is just a shitty champion and can be replaced by any other number of either 1. Strong AD Bruisers or 2. Powerful AP Bruisers.

 

Watching my own replays is as pleasant as playing with Promethius. ;__;

I knew I wasn't good. But jesus motherloving teemos, I didn't know I was THAT bad either.

I can recognize mistakes very well. Apparently, I also SUPER fail at correcting them, lol.

Incidentally, TIL that if you have nothing better to do with your life than to get better at League, watching your own replays is a GRREEEEEAT way to wither away while climbing elo.

 

This, basically. I've been doing this recently. It's actually rather informative. Though I've been using it more to learn about patterns of enemy movement. So far it seems my biggest issue is positioning during the laning phase. I tend to get very aggressive and good junglers/other lanes punish me for it sometimes.

 

how would I acess my own replay?

 

Download a programme called LoLreplay & have it run whilst you're playing - it basically records the game for you. After that you can replay it.

Anyone figured the bind for the new ping-dial system? I've looked all over Keybindings & can't see it so, feeling rather blind =\.

 

Exactly the same as the old pings, except you hold down the mouse button instead of just clicking.

 

On one hand, no more invisible Cleavers/Spears.

On the other hand, no more invisible Cleavers/Spears.

Also, Taric is going to be so much fun now that he doesn't have ridiculous mana costs.

 

I'm so sad that they fixed the big with Lux's E. So much free damage when people couldn't see it.

 

heh, Kayle and AP Trynd got gimped. Works for me.
Curious how the new Taric works, I haven't played him in a loooong time.

 

Eh, they're both still playable, but they're not on the strong side of viable, now they're on the weak side of it. Don't expect to see them in pro level play anymore either.

I think "fabulously" is the word you're looking for.


/mains Taric

 

I jungled Taric earlier. It was the only game I won all night. He's not top tier by any means, but good fun for dicking around with.

 

I read that post as "good for sucking dick with" and had to reread.

It's not a Freudian slip. I swear.

 

I feel like the new Blitz skin hook is a lot harder to dodge. I know it isn't, but it feels like it.

p.s. Bruiser Taric <3

p.p.s. Bruiser Taric or AD SION!!!!?

 

LoL just came out for the Mac so I just installed it!

And I'm getting my ass kicked by the tutorial bots.

It's going to be a long time before I feel confident enough to fight real opponents.

 

Bots are kinda hard when you're in the first few levels, but they should get easier soon enough. Just don't play against the intermediate ones, they destroy low level players.
And yeah, I think the iBlitzcrank grab really is harder to dodge, I've seen people have a harder time. It's a bit harder to see, and that can make a big difference.

 

It's a similar issue to Steel Legion Lux. In fact, it's pretty similar to her Q, but a little brighter and smaller.

 

Thoughts on Quinn now that she's been out for a bit? I've tried her out but her kit, as an adc, doesnt make sense to me and she really doesn't seem to work as a Jayce-esue top.

 

I can appreciate her burst in bot lane with a support like Taric. Taric stun, into Quinn E-> Q->Attack, then follow through or back off with little counter-harass due to blind.

In top lane, her E/Q combo can be great again for both harassing enemies, and escaping harass from champs that dash at you.

 

I can appreciate her burst but an escape that requires you to enter melee range with a champ just makes me twitch.
