League of Legends - Spring Split Playoffs

[Mrb1p]

I did 300 stacks at 15 on nasus, was dominating top lane and I still lost my last promo game Shouldve just kept playing in flex where Im already silver 3 or something;

 

[McDNicks17]

Ayyy. Finally back in promos to Gold.

Hopefully I can fight my champion ADD and just play my top champs. I'm 25-8 on Thresh/Zyra/J4 recently, but I have a tendency to get bored and play random **** haha.

 

[H3ckt1k]

Ive been in my promos for plat 1 23 times in the past 2 weeks. Have won them a single time. I don't think I've ever been more tilted

 

[McDNicks17]

That was quite the series. I wonder if other teams will ban Ssumday's Maokai haha.

C9 is my team, but I don't mind them losing to Dig. I think Dig is clearly the better team right now. I really liked Gravity and Ssumday is a beast, so I'm cheering for them now.

 

[McDNicks17]

Man, Olleh is fun to watch.

I'm hoping IMT pull out the win. CLG is just so boring.

 

[H3ckt1k]

Omargod is legit awful

But I agree that Olleh is awesome. Such a great playmaker

 

[Mrb1p]

Chogath full ap is a ****ing monster! Jesus!

Two games in a row I reached 7k HP

 

[McDNicks17]

First blood, destroy your lane, get mid a couple of a kills, but it doesn't matter because your top went 0/6, sold all his items and quit.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Looking forward to the inevitable TSM collapse at worlds after another season of hype.

 

[IamJust0ne]

Woo, just hit gold...in approximately 600 games less than last season

 

[Mrb1p]

Im probably gonna hit gold too,.ive been climbing a rank every week or so for the last month or so. Now in s2.

 

[YNWA14]

So I'm picking the game up again after almost 3 years off. I decided to jump into ranked right away because #yolo. Won 5 lost 5 and they put me in Bronze III. I finished in Gold V when I used to play. It's been a bit of a rough go so far because I'm obviously pretty rusty and even though I've won lane every game I've lost about 6 games in a row (I've made some mistakes for sure, but I feel like I haven't had a cohesive team since placements).

One thing I've noticed, and maybe it's because I have kids now, but I don't feel any rage anymore and leaving allchat off probably helps.

Anyway, I'm probably going to climb my way back to gold through the jungle. I've been reading that Yi is a good way to do it (gank/split push powers). Any tips/suggestions since I haven't played in a long time? Quite a few champs to learn and such.

 

[McDNicks17]

Kayn is a new champ that's pretty fun in the jungle. Pretty strong right now too.

J4 is also fun/strong right now. More so in a tank/engage role though.

 

[McDNicks17]

This Star Guardian announcer is the most tilting **** ever.

I already have an 0/6 top, 2/9 mid and a jungler who quit, but now I have some valley girl telling me my team is "super cool" on top of it.

 

[Mrb1p]

Cho, Mao, J4, Sej, etc.

Cinderhulk is just crazy right now. I'm playing Cho every game now and I dominate most of em. Hes stronger than anyone in late game.

 

[Knave]

I have some free time today and thinking about playing a game or two - how similar is it to a few years ago (2)? Could I step right in and do OK? How much has changed?

Depends on your ELO, I'd say. You're likely fine in lower ELO, but you would probably get exploited by higher ELO players.

There's definitely been some huge changes, but the game is still relatively the same.

Lots of new champions as well as lots of old champions and items have been reworked. Different dragon system. New mini Baron that spawns pre-Baron, etc.

 

[Mrb1p]

The essence of the game is still the same, the problem is probably going to be in your motor skills.

 

[H3ckt1k]

When did Stixxay go from the best adc in na to the worst? Jesus christ.


Edit: Yup, not surprising at all. Clg had no chance of doing anything this season when they kicked Dardoch. Such a stupid choice.

 

[Mrb1p]

In promos for s1. Gold is totally doable I think. Anivia and ChoGath thank you.

58% win rate in 200 games of these two and something like 75% in 20 of mao. OP.

Trade a MVP runner-up for a player you'll cut in favour of a player that isn't even remotely LCS caliber.

Well played, CLG.

 

[YNWA14]

I ended up moving back to midlane since that's what I was most comfortable with in the past. On a pretty good run now and I've picked up AP Ezreal mid...his burst is better than I remember, and I've always really enjoyed playing mobile champions (I just find them more forgiving).

Since I'm still not up to date on all the champions which other mids would you say play similar to Ezreal? I know Ahri somewhat similar, though her mobility is tied to her ult which is less than ideal (she also happens to be my other best mid). I used to play really well with Zyra mid but from what I've seen she's a support now.

Still, spamming Debonair Ezreal is pretty fun.

 

[Mrb1p]

Ahri is a top tier mid right now and her Q leaves you mobility also.

Talon, Velkoz, Sol, Anivia, Orianna are other good options

 

[McDNicks17]

Leblanc was updated and seems like kind of what you're looking for.

Lucian mid is pretty meta right now if you want to stick to marksmen.

Malzahar is really strong right now, but doesn't have much mobility.

Aurelion Sol is a really unique champion if you want to try something completely different and play more of a roaming mid.

 

[H3ckt1k]

Could also try Ekko. Hes really strong right now with a huge skill ceiling and tons of mobilty/burst.
