Old League of Legends Thread

[Falaras]

Went ahead and got Spellthief Lux since it was on sale, then spent my cache of IP to get Miss Fortune. Probably the most fun character I've played so far, it's actually funny for some reason my CS on MF is SO much higher than I usually get on a pusher like Sivir or Tristana.... Will be getting Waterloo skin if I continue to like her

[Vandole]

just heard about the tanky metagame getting nerfed in the next patch. mi happi.

(1:06:48 AM) ThisIsQalbert: and then when you post it locks it


So yeah, let me know if i accidently lock the thread AGAIN

[Qeomash]

No more tanky metagame? Hurray!

Next one will be all AP teams again.

[Falaras]

I went on a 7 game losing streak yesterday and almost half of them where because of a fed Katarina. I kind of want to start playing one of those overpowered tank but still does more DPS than a caster characters just so I stop getting tore to pieces by heroes like Katarina.

[Lebzile]

Play Trundle
Jungle
Be the best ganker ever
Never lose.

[Qeomash]

I love days like this. First two games, there's a leaver. Next two games I have horrible lag (Skype continues to work fine) in which nothing happens on screen, and I can still walk back. Last one we probably could've won if one of my friends hadn't gone "ATTACK DAMAGE GRAGAS" and the other wasn't half zoned out half the game.

Sigh...hate days like this.

[Falaras]

Does anyone have any tips for not getting demolished by Katarinas ult? Is it like Juggernauts from DoTA where if creeps are near it will hit them instead and do less damage? In the last 3 days I've litteraly lost 10+ games straight up because of Katarinas that 1 shot me/my team mates which lets them get super fed and carry late game.

Stun her, silence her, move her, flash out, etc.

What you have to remember about Kat is that she HAS to be killed early in the fight or she will kill all of you. Her passive will guarantee that.

Pretty much this. Minions being around means nothing to her ulti. It hits the nearest 3 champions. You gotta get out or have someone who can interrupt her.

[Falaras]

So basically if I'm ever in a solo lane versus Katarina as Miss Fortune without flash, I lose?

[Hosom]

I don't play Miss Fortune ever, but here's the closest thing to advice I can give you:

Kat naturally pushes with bouncing blade, let her.

Sit under your tower and get all the last hits you can, last hit caster creeps with double up, it'll then bounce back and hit her. If she's in the center, last hit melee creeps with double up. If she stands outside of creeps and consistently stands out of range for the double up second hit, ignore her and farm creeps. Seriously, this works. Back when you need to, and focus on that CS because you aren't going to kill her anyway. The more experienced you get and the more experienced your opponents are, the more passive your lane phase will become. People start relying more and more on ganks to kill their lanes, as opposed to doing it themselves.

You want to be under your tower, because now you're immune to her hardest hitting harass, which is her Shunpu combo. She can't ult you under the tower unless she wants to die.

Since you mention it's 1 v 1, call for your jungle or ganker to gank. You should have one hero on your team who is good at ganking, make them come get that free kill.

If you get the chance, ZONE her, keep her out of the creeps and don't let her farm/get exp. Most often, getting early kills isn't everything in a game. Half of this game is putting the people into a position where they don't feel like they can win, and one of the best ways to do that is have them be level 4 when you hit level 8. That being said, if you get the opportunity to kill her WITHOUT dying (or sometimes even having to back) go for it. However, keep in mind it is never worth it to die for a kill during lane phase, and only somewhat worth it to deny yourself to baron or a tower for a kill.

Oh, and I have to stress again: Always focus her.

There are 3 heroes who once they get 1-2 kills in a team fight are literally unstoppable:

Master Yi
Kat
Evelyn

I honestly don't care what my team says, I will always make sure those 3 heroes die early and die often.

(In before Evelyn isn't viable now that she can't jungle)

[Falaras]

Most of that is pretty simple stuff that I already know, but it's still a matter if you are backing and sitting at your tower you are losing CS, exp, and your lane in general unless they have to also. I guess the real problem is that I can't rely on other people, if I'm solo lane I can't rely on a jungler trying to gank if I'm duo lane I can't rely on them to even know when to stun. I guess I just won't try to take a solo lane at all if they have a Katarina.

[Rivero]

So basically if I'm ever in a solo lane versus Katarina as Miss Fortune without flash, I lose?

No. Just get a Doran's Shield and grab Strength of Spirit. Always grab health potions. MF should be able to beat Kat if you're playing it smart. I think if it was mid-game Kat would rape you though with equal farm. All she needs is a Rylais and bam, you are dead. Kat is just easy as shit to play and not very punishing if you fuck up a lot. If its any solace to you, it's like 40x harder to play a good MF compared to a good Kat.

[The_OG_Nelta]

Who cares. Don't die mid against a Kat, and MF is 10x better than Kat late game.

[Rivero]

I'd say Kat is at her strongest early game tbh. It's hard to not get killed by a Kat who runs Ignite/Flash or Exhaust.

I haven't played MF in ages though so I'm not sure. She can easily take out your strut with her bouncing blades for sure.

[Dezzimal]

Jesus Two Dancers/Thirsters and Madreds.

This week is pretty fun. I'm playing Morde/Teemo and Irelia. Three champs I will never probably buy but enjoy playing.

I bought teemo last week, refuse to play him during freemo weeks because I hate stepping on shrooms and planting my own shrooms means I'm that much more likely to step on them.

HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE

MORDE ALWAYS WIN LANE

ALWAYS KILL NEVER DIE

huehuehue
es the best

[Vandole]

You could just get an oracles. Teemo shrooms are a nonissue after that.

[Tyrath]

I've been meaning to get back into MF. Haven't played her in a long long time. Anyone have suggestions for builds for her?

I'm mostly having mana trouble with her. I don't wanna have to use manamunes. Should I get chalice or do I need to change my masteries a bit to add to the mana regen? D:

[Falaras]

Hm what masteries are you suggesting? I don't even touch the defensive tree but hell if itll help against katarina I'd try a new build.

[Rivero]

I always run 21 down Utility with every ranged DPS with mana. I used to go 9/0/21 on MF for the Spell Pen but tbh I like Defensive better if you're going mid.

2 in the Crit Talent
3 in Magic Resist
1 in Armor
3 in Strength of Spirit

And then finish up going 21 in Utility grabbing Imp.Ghost and Flash.

I usually start with a Shield but some pros recommend Cloth Armor/5x Pots. You can also try Rejuv Bead with some Pots. If you do go Rejuv bead or Dorans Shield you get a whopping 20ish Hp5 which makes you a fucking mundo mid-lane lol.

You could just get an oracles. Teemo shrooms are a nonissue after that.

If you place them in good brush locations they still annoy the shit out of you. It's impossible to take out shrooms in certain brushes unless you run a CV with a Ranged attacker standing nearby.

But yeah. Oracles still does a decent job against Teemo. I wouldn't recommend it unless you know you're going to live, because one unlucky mushroom in the brush could alert the enemy team. If the Teemo is smart and pays attention to his mini-map and they have a teleport hero sitting around you could also get ganked if they predict your movements accordingly. : p


NA ESL Tournament is going on by the way if anyone watches the pro-LoL scene.

CLG is playing in the finals atm. 1-0.
