Exactly, vlad vlad.
I didn't get any mystery gifts sadly. I tried finding people to trade with, but ultimately I just gave one away so I could get the icon.
Not that it really matters though... I've spent so much money on this game for skins that I'm fairly certain the only one's left are ones I wouldn't use anyways.
I've been raiding the jungle recently as my old favorite Udyr. It's been a lot of fun running around the map at 100mph and soloing turrets. It's also quite enjoyable to consistently out-farm everyone on my team (or, at least, everyone but the adc). I almost feel like hanging up the reins on Hecarim (pun intended). That won't happen of course because of how badass he is... but Udyr is definitely feeling the jungle love at the moment.
Preseason 4 is supposed to start this week, from my understanding. I've been watching some streams of the PBE and I'm very excited about a lot of the changes.
By the way i think i forgot to mention i wrote a hecarim guide a while back, it's already one of the most viewed on lolking

You get both Randuins and Frozen Heart? Isn't the warden's passive unique, though?
They stack multiplicatively.
You shit on Vayne so hard with that buildQuote:

I can see W being great if you have a strong leash from your team, but I just feel like Q provides better utility starting out. Not sure why no one else sees that.
Because most people play Hecarim with the intention of farming and stalling into the late game while i play him with the intention of snowballing into an early lead.
Yeah but most guides still max Q first even if you start W at level one, so after the first blue, what difference does it make, anyway?Quote:

My usual routine is smiteless blue, rush red, gank at level 3 while the enemy just hit level 2. Starting W means it's possible for them to hit 3 by the time I gank, which, like Arch said, can mean the difference in a kill.
You are right though Assertn... after first clear it really doesn't make a difference, so I guess it just depends on your playstyle.
I played a Hecarim game last night... my last one of season 3... and totally carried my team going 16/1/15. I think that was my game where the enemy jungler went smiteless, so I stole all his buffs... but I could be confusing it with an earlier game. Either way, once I got an early triple kill at bot, no one could touch me. It was very satisfying.
EDIT: I thought Preseason 4 was supposed to start today? Damn, I had my hopes up.
I miss low elo :3Quote:
>where the enemy jungler went smiteless
Yeah... also doesn't everybody go smiteless buff A directly to smite buff B anyway?
That might change with the extra camp though
Played a match with a jinx, asked for help warding for like... 20 minutes,we get caught, jinx says "we needed wards."
They're giving wards limits come Preseason... a feature that I think is both good and bad. On the one hand it forces all players on the team to participate in the "battle for vision" if they want to play strategically; however, on that same note, because of the people that never ward, the limits are going to severely hurt otherwise helpful players.
I like that the new trinkets are all vision based though. I can't decide if I like the free ward or the local clairvoyance better for jungling though.
i dislike this 3 wards per person system - dota has warding done right, there is limited supply of wards, and it regenerates after some time, plus anyone can buy them, and just drop them at spawn for someone else can take them and place them. But i have to admit that i like the changes done to pink ward.. but it will make laning vs akali and other stealth-based champs a bit harder.
So I have an alt account that I made way back when I first started (long story of why I needed two at the time), but it's only level 26. I decided to start playing on it recently when I don't have anyone to play with on my main account (because fuck pugs). I just had a game as Udyr jungle where I went 8/0/7 and downed the most turrets and inhibs... yet all my team could say was "fuck this udyr for kill stealing" and "he only cares about kills, not turrets" among other toxic things. To top it off, in post-game chat, where I comment on the fact that I had most gold, most farm, most turrets destroyed, etc., all they could say was "yeah, well... look at champion damage... you couldn't do anything". I am literally flabberghasted at the insane amount of immaturity and toxicity below level 30! I carry my team to victory (my Kayle fed so hard, but I was able to help bring her up to 10 kills) and get abused for it. What the fuck....
It is kind-of funny though.
Yo anyone feel like helping me out a bit?
http://www.leaguematchups.com/matchu...ng&per_page=10
I've been doing these hecarim match ups and i think i've been as thorough as possible but do you guys think of anything else i could add? Also, is there anything you don't quite understand?
I take back what I said about the preseason.
I hate it.
The ward revamp is dumb; the same people that bought wards before still buy wards, but less, giving almost no vision to the map. I actually gain less exp in the jungle now, even though the notes say otherwise. Smite was nerfed. Nasus still dominates the game, despite his nerfs, and is in every game (though that's mostly due to his VU). There are more things I dislike, but I'm too pissed off to remember right now.
I hate losing games because of bullshit reasons.
What's your Elo?
I think the only bulshit making you lose is your own, i haven't lost a game in the jungle yet in this preseason
I updated my guide to Season 4, mastery section needs a little work but i think i got most of it down
http://www.lolking.net/guides/201497
Silver unfortunately. I could have been gold easily, but I stopped playing and decayed, and honestly don't care enough anyways. Besides, I play with a group of friends that range from unranked to plat.Quote:

When your TF sees you running from said Jax (cause I'm motherfucking Udyr... he blew Flash and all his leap strikes to try and catch me) but decides to ult in and die, then berate you for not turning and fighting even though he was two-shot in the first place... that's dumb, and a bullshit reason to lose. I could give more examples, but that would be pointless because it's not like it's going to change anyone's opinion anyways.Quote:

I should also admit that I made that post last night while extremely pissed off. I still dislike the preseason changes however.
It's almost like Jax is a late game hyper carry and it's your fault for not closing out the game sooner.
I've played one for all game... it was godly.
5x blitz vs 5x liss - blitzs won.
the grab rapetrains were funny. 4 failgrabs in row were also funny.
But i wish we could do it in the aram map like last time :(
Archangel, you must not be on /r/leagueoflegends much lately, because the jungle nerf seems to be all everyone's talking about in regards to the new patch (yes, even the high level players are starting to favor 2-1-2, not just us inferior silvers).
You inferior silvers only started doing it because the pros did, don't get confused on the order :P
And i'm like never not on r/leagueoflegends, what's your account there btw? You just lurk?
Well, you sure got me, huh.Quote:

Obviously i won't either, 2-1-2 lanes will disappear once Targon's Brace is stabilized
I've played another one for all... this time with Urgots...
that was probably the most op choice of them all. if one Urgot hits his E, everyone can follow up with up to 3(4 with 40% CDR) Qs which basically force enemies out of lanes. and in pre-teamfights you can easily kill one enemy with 15x Q.
Akalis syngergize pretty well too - you can use friendly W to hide too.
Zyra is another good one. You can proc your allies' seeds, so you can start making plants even at level 1. You can drop down 10 seeds in one spot, turn them into plants, then give them all a steroid with the ult. Of course the enemy team will still go Katarina and shunpo over every damn thing.Quote:

I decided to try Shyvana jungle for the fun of it, and OMFG will I never ever solo queue again. I got into a team of 4, which I didn't know until the game started. Champ select pops up, I say "Jungle please", wait 20 seconds, no one says anything, so I lock in Shyvana and start setting up my runes and masteries. No sooner did we get into the game that I'm constantly berated and insulted by the team for being a "troll" and "insta-locking" when someone on their team wanted to jungle. I didn't retort... I tried to help lanes and give buffs and use "GJ!" and whatever else bogus method you can do to try and alleviate the toxicity, but it didn't work, and apparently I got reported by all 4 of them, even though I ended the game really well, and didn't resort to immature behavior like they did.
The sad part is, since tribunal is fucked and everyone insta-punishes anyways, if it makes it there, I'll probably get a temp ban just for trying out a new champion.
Aside from my frustration, I read on the forums they are nerfing the Relic soon. They said they didn't mind the 2-1-2 strat, but they wanted it to be as viable as jungle, and right now, it was more powerful because of that item.
You need to get out of silver pronto. People love blaming others far too much, my behavior in game is overall WAY too nice, so I honestly usually have great experience with players,win or lose, people blame me? not mad, people blame each other? white kinght mode, people apologize? instant pardon. I`ve played thousands of games and have only been told to kill myself once. :D
You still believe this don`t you?Quote:

And I'm not playing ranked games, btw. I see no reason since the reset hasn't happened yet, not to mention that I find it more toxic. In normals I'm paired with/against gold-plat people on average. I just need to find more competent people to queue with. All my old peeps disappeared (looking at you Luci >_>).
Meh, let`s not beat that dead Hecarim then.
Can we maybe start the day off with a post that isn't you or Steve bitching?
It wasn't so much me bitching as it was about calling you out for being an ass, but unfortunately that's already too late for today!Quote:

No, it really was (and still is) about you being an elitest prick. I've seen this behavior long enough through the SC2 community to be familiar with it. It kinda sucks, really.Quote:

I'm not going to lie... I'm more interested in the rainbow desktop background you got going on... where one side appears to be straight lines but the other is all wavy. It amuses me.
Congrats on pulling out the win though.
Oh, and I guess I gotta bitch about something in my post for Archie's sake... so, um... damn them kids and their skateboarding on the sidewalks!
EDIT: Do the trinkets really line up out of place like that if you don't have a full build? Or are you able to move them out of the trinket slot. I haven't tried, or cared enough. I bound the trinket slot to 7, and use a Razer Naga, so it's fairly easy to use as it is. Just something I saw after looking at your screenshot again.
It's actually not that impressive, I got it from here http://wallpaperswide.com/colour_str...allpapers.html and change it everyday.

????????????????????????????
What am i looking at here?
Btw that's a terrible build with no synergy uchess, a lyandrys would have been much better than a rabadons for damage
We crushed the team, thinking about build was pointless, it was pretty much a joke match. I gained 5 lp and my total is 2, that`s a bit odd...
Hahaha, a bit odd? Son, welcome to Platinum 1 clamping.
Why not just say "you won two LP"?
You had -3 from a previous dodgeQuote:

Gold is for scrubs, these are the big leagues now :3
Plat is the new Bronze. That's the saying I've heard at least.
I want the changes to runes to happen soon. I've played enough of the preseason to know what works for my playstyles, so I'm really wanting to change up my rune pages... but since I don't know exactly what they are going to do to runes (removing some, or just nerfing some), I don't want to have to make multiple changes.
I played well over 50 matches and played with diamond people all the time, matchmaking still only gives me about 2 lp per win, riot pls.

You League people should start playing Smite. It's basically a 3D version of League. Half the Gods in the game are based off League champions, so it's very easy to pick up. The biggest difference is that everything is skill-shot based, and you actually have to click to attack (no auto-attack). Also, there are no runes and masteries. I didn't like the game at first, but now I'm finding it to be more fun and more challenging than League. If anyone plays, or starts playing, add me in game. Same name as here.
That being said, I'm still waiting on news for the rune changes. In the meantime, I've had a lot of fun playing Volibear jungle with my friend playing Yasuo. Obvious synergy is obvious, but it's still a deadly combo and we can pretty much carry the game, so long as our team doesn't feed unconditionally. I've also updated my Hecarim build to include more damage than tankiness, and surprisingly I've done a lot better that way. Let's see... I found an amazing Tiger Udyr jungle build that outputs tons of damage early while also providing near endless sustain. I found out that, despite how much I want to play her, I cannot play Shyvana. ...Basically, I've spent all my time in the jungle since the start of the preseason, minus a few support games here and there, coming up with new and exciting ways to play, because otherwise I'd be bored.
I'm also working on my goal of breaking 50k IP. I'm a little over halfway there.
Lastly, does anyone here stream? I started streaming here and there, both League and Smite. The output quality could be better; it's watchable, but it gets choppy at times, especially while playing Smite (probably due to 3D). I'm not really sure what I can do to improve that. I have a decent computer, but I feel like part of it is my ISP. In any case though, if anyone is interested, I'll post the link and you can start criticizing me for how bad I am... >_>
