yeah i'd agree after watching a few (my smurf doesn't have him and i haven't been on my main) that evolving R is the inferior option now. I'd max q early in mid lane still though and W in top. Going all in at level 2 was always neat on kha and i think it's way easier to do now if you get q>e. i think all the games except 1 that i had a kha i won and he was in like every game

I can see the choice between maxing Q and W first now being more interesting, but the evolution decision really shouldn't change. The problem is that it will because players will think they can play an assassin as a melee duelist against duelists with far better kits for doing so.

Aatrox is out of control

Lol, couldn't miss a spear!


Why did EdWard leave Gambit in the first place? He can't have honestly wanted to go to Curse

[Aero]

He and Genja did not get along. Genja is apparently the brains of the Gambit Gaming and will not get kicked off or leave the team. Curse is a strong team and needed a full time support after they gave Elementz the boot. Rhux is a solo laner and didnt not have enough experience at support to be competitive. Crs picks up the thresh prince and look as strong as they ever have.

clg is also looking pretty good now that hotshot is in the shadows, although bigfatjungleji is still hard to get used to

This has been a pretty fun weekend for the eSport side of LOL. MVP beats CJE Blaze 3-0 in the OGN finals. NA LCS starts with C9 starting the split 5-0. Curse, despite Aero saying they look as strong as ever, starts the split 1-4. Velocity has a shaky start, but the rest of the NA LCS is all bunched up. EU day 2 is going on currently, but SK just lost to Alternate, which puts MYM and ATN as the top two spots right now. Gambit has looked overall uncomfortable. EG and fnatic have actually looked pretty good, and had a great match against each other with EG holding it down. I'm bummed that the KR season is over, but the summer split looks like it will be a lot of fun to follow both in NA and EU. I really should spend a little more time trying to pay attention to SEA and CN, but that's time that I spend actually playing ㅠㅠ

So i've been trying to help my friends learn how to play league. My girlfriend is actually decent at the game, as she'll watch me play and watches streams with me. Her friends that we duo with(up to 4 people) are brand new to (pvp in general) mobas, so they have been struggling a bit. I try my best to teach them, but sometimes it is just not possible. A good example is this game and that balanced matchmaker. If you are unsure about our summoner levels, just count the masteries.

And this isn't the first time. I can't even play my ultra smurf who is only level 6. They STILL pair us with level 30 accounts that the gf's friends can't always deal with. And trust me, a summoner level 6 Tristana doesn't do much to a 10/1/x Volibear, Tryndamere, Akali, Zed, or Jax.

[Aero]

Level 30 accounts dont mean anything. It should be balanced by your MMR. Now if you are inflating it, it may skew your MMR to make it really hard for the rest of your team. Now if you have a similar MMR on your smurf, you may just be playing really shitty level 30s. You still get exp from losses Ive had the pleasure of playing with a 33%~ win ratio friend of a friend, who is level 30 and absolutely horrid at leagues.

[Hiryo]

How much MMR can you get in 150 games.....
Like, we consistently get gold+ players on the enemy team lol

[Qeomash]

Also, remember, the game tries to average things out when dealing with groups queuing together. If you have someone who is, say, 50 MMR and someone who is 100 MMR, it will try and find another group of two in the 50-100 MMR range to match against you. The golds you are playing against are likely queuing up with one of the lower people you are fighting.

[Aero]

Another thing you have to account for is that they are platinum/gold in ranked. Ranked and unranked Elos are not connected. While maybe someone is 1500 in ranked, their unranked elo may only be 1000.

I don't understand why RoA is preferred on some champs but not others. Why Karthus? Why not Fizz? The stats are good, even if the benefit is delayed. Am I missing something about it?

[Conrad]

it's an item built for late game, and it provides apc with some beefiness. for karthus, you want to be able to jump into the team and live as long as you can. fizz is an assassin and is meant to run in, insta-gib someone, and run away. rod of ages wouldn't be as good on someone who is a glass cannon.

[D44kpunk]

rengar is so fun oh my god, i had forgotten how awesome of a champion he is.

literally just went 18-3 win/loss between gold 3/plat 5 playing only rengar

Sustain damage dealers vs burst damage. You need the HP/MP to continue doing damage in team fights. Fizz's job is to get in and get out. Karthus wants to get in and stay there for as long as possible.

Loving this new LCS season. Competition seems much tighter than spring split with only Crs and VES looking really bad. Hoping they can step it up in the next few weeks. My ideal NA LCS would be a 7-way tie for 2nd behind mah boys Vulcun.

Did you catch WildTurtle's Cait ult to the fountain from the mid lane outer tower against VES? It was pretty funny.

[Deftscythe]

I only saw the replay since I came in halfway through yesterday's games. I heard something about Regi pausing because of a spider during that game? Lol.
