League of Legends - Trumped up Rock, Paper, Scissors
Scooty, i got to watch that last game from the other night and i think you were playing pretty good with Olaf considering your circumstances. Volibear was zoning you out pretty good and Vayne was getting pretty farmed but after 15 mins you were only down maybe 10-15 cs, not to bad for a 2v1. But my suggestion would be to max his Q first so you can farm much better. You maxed his E which is great for 1v1 trades but if you're gonna be going 2v1 you just wanna farm under the turret as best you can. His Q will clear waves in one hit when maxed and you can farm from range in that manner.
I think that Olaf is kinda the ideal 2v1 laner. He is beefy can deal damage can hit from range and farm under the turret. Cho is another champ i think could be good in a 2v1. Or maybe even Mordekiser he doesn't use mana and you can just spam that wave clear attack that he has.

Uh oh! incoming Singed nerfs... gotta scroll down a bit to see them but they look significant. Granted this is only on the PBE and things could change before they hit live. Our team is ruined!!!!!!!

Eh. They are nerfs, but not big ones. The flip will be reduced from 900+ to 750+ at end game. Losing the reduction of stuns/slows by 25% isn't great, but also not TOO terrible. Will mainly hurt his escapability.
But at least he still isn't a tank and still isn't a heavy damage dealer, and is no longer the fastest natural champ in the game. Sheesh.

It's possible I am just out for the night, but I'm hoping to be on by 10. It's possible that I get on earlier, but I'm not promising anything.

I'll be on all weekend, although probably 10ish each night (kids are up later on weekends).
Last night, once I got home, ate, got the kid to bed, etc. it was 11. I just called it a night.

I checked back at 10. Cake had gone to bed. Leisher wasn't around.
Stranger gave me shit for not being able to play "without your boyfriend." I called his mother a whore.
I lose often enough with the entire team available and on voice. I don't need to also lose with a bunch of people I don't know.
+++++++++
I plan on being on tonight. Leisher, man up and tell your wife to handle things for one night and be on by 9:30.

It has nothing to do with "manning up". I like my kids.
Beyond that, there's a 90% chance that even if 5 people got on this forum today and pledged to all be on at 9:30 exactly, there would still be at least one person who isn't ready until 10.
So, I'm not going to skip out on a few minutes with my kids, AND owe my wife a night where I put them to bed while she sits down stairs just so I can sit in voice chat listening to you bitch about whomever isn't on yet.
While I'm in a LoL mood...
1. We ran into a very difficult team comp the other night. Even split pushing, we were easily killed due to the constant stuns. What could we have done differently? Is that a comp we should look into as well? Should we just add Taric to our ban list for ranked, so we can only be hit by that team comp in normal? Taric + Sion = pretty impossible duo. Perhaps that should be our junglers?
2. I am not happy with my Teemo build right now. I'm not sure if I should be rushing to the big AP stick or BotRK first. I've been heading the AP route, but I'm going to try the BotRK route first tonight. It'll give me attack speed, attack damage, and sustain early. Plus it might fool our opponents into thinking I'm going AD, and thus, they may avoid magic resist items early on...
3. I'll work on another AP mid, but I also don't see a reason I can't go Ez, Ashe (she got a great buff), or MF mid too. This would be especially effective if we had double stunning junglers.
4. I think that Volibear/Singed lineup we had the other night was great for our hit and run style. Both could close gaps, and both make enemies prioritize running over fighting. The funny part of that is they rarely get away, which means pretty easy kills with little damage taken. Would a Volibear/Singed/Sion/Taric/Ezreal team be too tanky?

I didn't know which response to go with, so feel free to pick one:GORDON wrote:Yeah, I don't like my kid because sometimes the wife puts him to bed without me!
-Call me when you have two more kids to put to bed each night.
-It's a bit early to be developing guilt over your bad parenting isn't it?
-If I find out you're slacking on your other parental responsibilities, I'll take my kid out of that home.
-I must be the only one in our group who let's his kid(s) interfere with his LoL time. Imagine if I had to get up with them in the mornings! I'd never be able to play late, and would probably get grumpy when folks aren't on early!
Randy doesn't like me playing bottom anymore
Actually, I think you were fine there the other night with Volibear, and I think you'd probably do well with Taric/Sion (hold your stun until the enemy gets frisky, then stun their damage dealer while you retreat).
If I might be blunt, I think Cake is not enjoying the complaints when you get run over. I think your approach to bot, in the double jungle lineup is wrong.
1. Change your mentality. You're not building a champ that's getting 100 kills. You're building a tank, and preferably one that will be critical in ganks and team fights via a stun or AOE.
2. Don't be in a huge rush to get to bot when the game starts. Let the enemy push the minions into your turret. That's where you want them. If they're pushed, let your junglers know there's gank potential. Once they're dead, and your lane gets pushed a bit, perhaps leave lane to join a gank in mid or top, unless you guys decide the turret needs to go down.
3. Play defensive. DO NOT HARASS! Save all of your mana and summoner spells for when they try to dive you. Go all out at their ADC. If you can kill that person, even if you die, it's more of a win for us because their damage dealer is now losing farm.
4. Choose the right champ for the job. Volibear worked out well, and with the current health meta, he's everywhere. Sion/Taric are tanks with stuns. Lux can be a damage dealer AND she has a stun, a slow/aoe attack for waves and champs, and a global ult. Soraka can be a total bitch to deal with if she's dropping her aoe attacks and is built to deal damage that way. This will sound crazy, but Heimerdinger might even work. He has an aoe blind and turrets that a good Heimer can use to control an area. Just try different ones until we find the one(s) that's right for you.
5. Don't play to win your lane. Play to not lose it.
Oh, and on a personal note, junglers H-A-T-E hearing how a lane never sees ganks during the game. Even if it's true, it's all in how you point it out. Don't yell, scream, curse, sound defeated, be accusatory, etc. Simply say something like, "bot is positioned for a gank".
The jungler should then respond with whether or not they can make it just then, and when. If they can't, deal with it, but don't die to save a single turret.

I'm going to give something a try tonight that Cake mentioned a few nights ago
If it fails, please try my suggestion.
