**OLD THREAD** League of Legends - F2P MOBA (like DOTA)

[Fenixgoon]

Oh yeah and Jihad Fiddle > You. Best suicide bomber in the game. Was thinking of maybe throwing on some armor so he can last longer. Love people calling me feeder when I have most kills on the team.

i've seen quite a few fiddles get SFC for hp/armor.

 

[alkemyst]

Yeah I get that with Fiddle too (feeding)...yet we usually always win and I have a high kill count.

 

[zebano]

I'll have to try Ryze.. been out of town for a week so haven't gotten to play much.. just hit lvl17.

what's the opinions on Warwick vs Olaf vs Udyr?

I personally like Olaf best of the three.

Warwick: Great jungler (doesn't need smite), early dragon kill possibilities (level 4), great ganker at 6 with his suppression (biggest problem is his weak gank skills at 4 when the jungle is first cleared), weak late game because he's so squishy.

Olaf: Great Jungler (doesn't need smite), I've taken dragon at 6 (I've not tried earlier), solid ganker all game, excellent AD carry all game due to hit ult.

Udyr: Decent jungler, dragon can be killed at level 5 with help, (7 solo), great ganker due to bear, and solid initiator/off-tank/anti-carry/backdoor champ all game.

Personally I like Olaf > Udyr > Warwick mainly because of the late game potential however a good warwick can win the game long before that matters.


Edit: I should note that Udyr is the only one that is gimped by not starting at blue which is a nice advantage in that your team doesn't need to guard you.

Edit 2: While WW and olaf don't "need" smite, they are much faster with it and thus I never jungle without it.

i finally got an opportunity to try leblanc out last night. boy did i fail at it . it doesn't seem overly difficult but our team comp made it difficult for me to learn the best way to use this hero. i managed a decent score overall but i know i was playing the character quite poorly. this toon has potential to be a great opportunist, though. if played properly, this hero is very strong. i still need more practice and better team makeup to really get a feel for the hero, however.

 

[Obsoleet]

Finally found a champ I can play in 3vs3. Just played as Taric with a pantheon and ashe. The other team had Xin, Ashe, and Kokmaw. Thought we would be hosed by their DPS, I never played Taric before. I stomped Xin. Then I stomped Kok. Then I stomped them both at the same time. Then I took on all 3 of them. I only died once. Heals, armor aura, and stun make him pretty handy in 3vs3. I think if you put him with a shen and xin, that would make a great team. I played shen for first time today too and carried a team. An 0/9 ashe said I was dumb for getting a phantom dancer when I was like 8/4/8.

A lvl30 friend of mine mains Taric. He's great. I just can't get over his portrait though.

I personally like Olaf best of the three.

Thanks for that. I've been continuously looking into melees as I want to pick up and use it as an alt. I was leaning towards Olaf too, I've only played him a few times but I think I could get creative with his abilities like my main Anivia.

BTW I noticed I was never added to the AT gamer list, is it because I'm lvl17? No one has added me in game, and I'm not on the list even tho I posted my info.

I was like level 10 when I was added so that is def not the reason. Repost it so he doesn't have to go search for it.

 

[crownjules]

A lvl30 friend of mine mains Taric. He's great. I just can't get over his portrait though.

I hover around 70-75% win rate with Taric (with ~50 games played, so reasonable sampling). As long as your team isn't composed of complete retards, Taric should be able to push most teams to victory. At least that's my experience.

Also, I'm assuming the "jihad Fiddle" is referring to the tactic of Crowstorming in and then activating Zhonya's so no one can touch you for the duration. Riot has stated that they're changing that soon so you won't be able to do it.

 

[Taejin]

i'd like to point out that as you progress up in skill level, kill count isn't really important, unless you are a carry.

 

[Obsoleet]

Which champs are Vlad's worst nightmare? I just played a game against the most immature vlad ever, saying GETA WAY FROM MY TOWER, LAST WARNING and all this. I didn't do as well as I have in the past against Vlads that game, but I'd like to know how to take them out better and what champs are his kryptonite.

 

[xCxStylex]

I Main Vlad and MF is probably the biggest bitch to go against. I haven't really gone against Kog or Tris but they're probabyl a pain too because of their range

MF with her move speed can take pot shots at me and back off, especially with the healing reduction or double up. If I try to be offensive before level 9 (The cooldown of Q increases with each level and is Vlad's main skill), MF will chase me and counter harass very well :[

[crownjules]

Morde is also a bitch, but who doesn't have problems laning against him?

Kat can be a pain if she's smart/lucky enough to keep her healing debuff on you.

 

[Obsoleet]

I hate the champs that everyone who plays them is arrogant. I've been told that Anivia mains are that way, but I dont think we are. I friend up with good Anivias I go up against. I do well late game, and early, but sometimes get caught midgame, midlane getting ganked too much. Sometimes moving around the map at that point helps, but then mid can get destroyed that way. But if I stay I'm typically alone vs 2 or 3 and I can't do anything really. I've always been really interested in Morde, mostly because if I'm working with one, it seems to be one of the better tanks to work with.

I still have a bit to learn, but I hate junglers, that aren't watching out for good ganks.. just chilling in the jungle half the game.

 

[Malak]

Heim always does good in mid regardless of who you are laned against. He can be a threat the whole game because he has stun, blind, slow, and pretty good dps. I always play mid with him and every game I do, the person that comes to gank me at lvl 6 dies.

 

[Obsoleet]

Yeah, Heim is a pain. I'm usually mid and I go up against a like of Heimerdingers.

Once I power up though, I can push one over with a powerful glacial shower, cleans up the mobs and his robot turrets quickly. A good Vlad or another Nivia is what I hate. My stun is hard to land on him (like anything on Vlad) and its only 3 seconds so I have to run towards him before it hits, then try to hit him with my Frostbite. Morde is just too powerful, I usually have to run from him unless I have a lot of items or an assist.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I play Hiemer almost exclusively and normally mid with him. I can usually keep on the offensive with anyone but Vlad. Between his reach, speed and constant life stealing, I find it hard to really do much other than tower hover. Even if people try to gank, I can usually at least kill one or 2, but Vlad always gets away.

the thing with activating zhonya's is that you cant move, so if people are smart they just run.

i'm used to seeing fiddles crow in and chase, *then* zhonya.

 

[Malak]

I've never used zhonya with fiddle because people always run. I did see a swain doing that tonight though while defending a base turret.

So, my stability issues with the game continue. Something is seriously wrong and I am savy enough to know it is not my ISP, or system. Possibly rather a driver conflict or something league of legends as of a few patches ago does not like with certain hardware configs.

That being said, Leagues uses a staggering amount of memory and bandwith for what it is. But the nature of my problem is unlike anything I can remember seeing in this game or any other.

Basically I will lose control of my character but everyone else is going along their merry way. For the most part, the loss of control is like a milisecond. I feel it on every click. It is just not as responsive as it should be. But, it is still playable like this.

Then, roughly twice a match. I will lose control for 10 seconds. It is always almost EXACTLY 10 seconds too, which is...just bizarre.

The forums are flooded with similar issues I am not alone. But some people arent having any problems.

I tried re-installing the game, updating every driver I can think of, changing the priority, adjusting dual core settings. removing every thing I can in my task list. I am even getting good pings.

Im done, sadly

I've been running with a group of friends lately and this seems to happen once a night at least. Our char is just stuck, unable to move but everyone around us are running around and such. Usually ends up as a death but its not a major game breaker. If it became as frequent as you are saying I would seriously have issues with, but if it remains as it is for us then I am filing it under the "hard to complain about free" category. Hope you come back and try LoL in the future and maybe it will clear it somehow.

 

[alkemyst]

I thought it was just me losing track of my toon in a battle, but this sounds like something that has happened to me a couple times. Clicking and keystrokes but my guy has a mind of his own.

 

[nanobreath]

I've had this happen to me once. Where the rest of the game was still happening all around me, but I could not control my character at all. At first I assumed it was lag, but I was still able to communicate on vent just fine. Cleared after about 10 secs too. Haven't had it happen since though.

I was a little over dramatic. I love the game enough to keep trying. Every time this happens and I die, I swear at it say Im done, then I try again the next day in hopes it clears up.

Anyway, does anyoe have some tips for SION? Hes an older champ I just recently tried. I was really surprised how difficult he was to play. I dont think he should be.

I tried an AP build which was a disaster.

Perhaps I should try a more traditional AD/lifesteal or tank, sufire cape with frozen mallet type deal.

Any tips appreciated. I absolutely sucked with him ( not including my stability issues - that made it down right comical )

 

[ivan2]

what you've describe would be a server side lag. i have experience that too. like when i click my toon to run, he won't move until many seconds later. it usually goes away after a minute or 2 so when it happens i just tower hug.

 

[Malak]

I have had that issue, but I restarted LoL in mid match and it never came back.

 

[Rhoxed]

Both Rhoxie and I get that issue, our chars stick in one spot for about 10 sec, hell i was garen once, stuck in a spin fighting dragon thought i was going to die, froze up then 10 sec later i see an explosion and im sitting there with 200 health and dragon dead (didnt mind it that time )
