Tears works on a "Storage" system.

It can have 2 charges stored on it at once so that 2 spells back-to-back will give you 2 stacks on Tears. The thing is, the 2 charges still need you waiting the full CD of 4s per.

So, if you're firing off a spell every 4s, you don't care about it. If you're saving spells, you can make up for some of the charges you couldn't get.

 

Can't win trades >_< I have a fucking tear. Orianna has the yellow wand of hurtingme.

 

Since when did Orianna's not get a chalice/tear/catalyst?

 

I hate LoL. "You eligible for promotion." (Silver 2->1)

Yeah? Well fuck you because I'll go to Silver 1 and lose my back within 5 games.

Oh god. How do I do this...



I wasn't even trying to get kills.

There we go, silver 1 (again). Third time's the charge.

 

An interesting quirk of Muramana on Ahri. Her W normally does only 50% on the 2nd and third hit against the same target... the Muramana does full damage on each hit. As is, it works off W, E and R. It's most useful with her W striking the same target, though. Also, only worth turning on in fights vs champions or if you really need to rush killing something.(dragon/baron/buff on a time rush)

Anyway, early Tear, but I don't think I ever upgraded it into a Muramana until after my third completed item or so. She has good enough innate damage values that she can get a Tear(only 700g anyway) early, then damage.

 

Having done exactly the same thing in my last five Tristana games, and only losing the last one because my support was useless, I'm fairly sure that Tristana building Cutlass > IE isn't why you lost that game.

Upgrading from Vampiric Scepter to Bilgewater Cutlass is only 600g. I'm going to buy it eventually anyway. If I'm forced to go back before having enough to get my B.F. Sword or Pickaxe, I'll upgrade to Cutlass for the quick boost in AD. Even if I never use that active, Cutlass is still a gold efficient item. It's a legit early game buy.

But even if I do get Cutlass, I'm still aiming for Infinity Edge as my first major item. Why would I blow 1800g on finishing Blade of the Ruined King as my first item when I could spend 1550g on a B.F. Sword for a bigger boost in damage? BotRK's passive isn't that useful until you're fighting the tanky bruisers in team fights and the attack speed isn't useful until you have the AD to back it up.

That's especially true on Tristana, who doesn't do anything at all in mid game without either Infinity Edge or a stacked Bloodthirster.

 

I can tell you right now, I do not see those scores as being good. Having a lot amount of deaths on AP carries and AD carries is one thing, but to have 0 deaths on a tank/frontliner n a lost game? That usually means you just bailed to early, contributed little to the teamfight besides initial cc, and ran away quickly once your own teammates died. It's different if say you won the game and had such an amazing score, but otherwise, it screams "useless" to me.

 

We won that game. Handily in fact. Darius fed top to Urgot and the ADC hadn't played ADC a lot. Still 7/3/16 is a fed score, not a bad one, same to 8/0/20. The enemy team was Xin top and Vi in the jungle, so Ashe was bound to die a few times.

See how Jungle and Top were green?...

 

Ah my bad, I don't use Lolking, or whatever it is to check match history often. Misread your post and thought you lost 5 games o,0

 

Well, after that game I lost the next three (at my new division 1 rank) but I somehow did not get demoted.

 

There's a three or four game grace period where you're immune to demotion.

 

I know, but for me normally the number is 3.

 

Feeling really good lately, playing 2 games a day or stopping after just one if I win to reduce rage and time spent playing whilst getting the daily IP reward.

Currently on a win streak of 8 bringing me to 102W - 87L from my previous promotional series loss through to now. Currently sat on 96LP in Silver III, my last win got me 27LP, so it seems my MMR's finally climbing, which is why I'm dreading my promotion series for silver II as I feel like (at least for the last 2 games most definitely) I'm being carried by superior teammates.

0-2-16 Cho jungle and 1-5-26 Leona games were my 'carried' games. I missed nearly everything as Cho in practically every teamfight so all I did was basically Feast the Bruiser/Tank - still not sure if I should be trying to get the ADC or if my divers have it covered.

Still, Cho jungle seems to be working for me, 5 of these 8 games I've done it and 3 of them I've gone flawless with something like 7 kills apiece. Happy about it, but I can see a fall coming pretty soon if these last 2 games are anything to go by.

 

HAPPY DIAMOND DAY!!!

I got demoted two tiers today, but in exchange, I encountered the best example of irony:

I've been playing a lot of ranked on my 2nd account trying to get it to gold, and it's so frustrating only getting 2 or 3 points a game.

I'm on a 4 game win streak in ranked, and I did get 13 points for the first win. But my last 3 wins have been giving me 3, 2 and 2 points a piece. Really annoying since I'm at 96 League Points in Silver I now. Hope I don't lose a stupid amount if I lose a game.

 

It took me 67 games to claw my way up, but I finally managed it. I am now Silver II.

At one point I was at -3 LP. I didn't even know that was possible, but that's what the game told me.

 

I think you get diminishing lp's only during your first climb towards tier promotion. My friend was sitting at 98 lp in plat I. He was getting +7, +6, +5...+2 per win with each consecutive win. Then he lost a match and was deducted -20 lp and went to 78 lp. Then we won a match and gained +21 lp and ended up at 99 lp. I know there are also GD forum posts where people had the exact same experience.

 

Ah, ok.

On topic, I played against a Plat V player in my Silver I match. We won lol.

Also, Tear's timer only works with spells that are toggle and drain mp (Singed Poison, Karthus). You'll still get 4 MP if you use different spells.
