So MF from early S3 then?

I'll agree with you on lucian. Nid however is a pretty ridiculous and carries good versatility. She's still a strong ap mid for solo queue and once the rest of the assasins get dumpstered (they always do) she'll go back to being a dominant mid. So she fits very well in to fast push and/or poke...

Heroes of the Storm will save us all!

Maybe I phrased it poorly. I don't believe there is a large outcry about it currently. I meant that the last time Riot was accused of segregating a competitor (DotA2) from a major event was a recent PAX event. Even had an absolutely massive thread on both the DOtA2 and LoL reddits. It then came...

The last time there was a large outcry about Riot segregating events it turned out that Valve just didn't want to pay for the exposure. Are people still going on about that bullshit and thinking its Riot's fault?

double

Haha, been married. Currently separated. I usually work from home and only have to be at my actual work place for three or four hours when they actually want me to come in. I do however have my son, but he's four and he's got his own tech stuff that he messes around with right along side of me.

I used to have new toy syndrome in this game as well. What I do to combat it is pretty effective, at least for me. I have my core group 4-6 champs that I play a ton in ranked and have become very good at. Then I have two to three champs that I want to learn. I'll do a day of normals just...

Sidian brings up a good point. Are you playing for fun or just for rating. I personally get a lot of fun out of mastering a champ and spamming them. So it isn't uncommon for my last 30 games to only have 2-4 champs played. I have a couple friends that I think are better then me from a mechanics...

Okay then 1.) I play Jungle and Solo lanes because I like to carry and I hate bot lane play. Its boring, passive, and being dependent on another person just to survive your lane sucks. I get one of those three roles in about 80% of my games. 2.) No we won't see any surge in weird...

Jungling or soloing is the best way to carry out of lower mmr. Jungle --- > Mid ----> Top ---- Duo lane is probably the order of game impact. Jungle can be everywhere and secure objectives. Mid can roam the whole map without losing a ton of cs. Top can help jungle on their side of the map or...

Olaf will continue to be a dumpster fire until they give him back his old under tow or ult. But not both because well, that would be too much.

DoTA has a leveling system that as far as I can tell doesn't mean much, and you get all the heroes up front. Can pay for courier/hero/ward skins. LoL has you level 1-30 which gives you new summoner spell options and a spec tree like old WoW. You also buy runes to customize your play style even...

Hydra + BC + SoTD + Mobo boots. RANGOOOOOOOOOOO! I just have too much fun for it, and his ult is on like a 30-40 sec CD at max rank so I just run all over the map invisi killing everything ever.

Rengar forever. Or at least until they neuter him with his rework. Fizz didn't get nerfed because A.) He has a couple major counters in lane which the other assassins didn't have, and B.) he actually has to throw himself at the enemy team in order to carry and even though his pole vault is great...

If an MMR estimation site is accurate enough, and along with that are the tiers roughly similiar to their previous years elo rating.

Correct Amzin then you get your ten placements and you arrive at your starting ranking.

What diamond are you? Anything below diamond 1 or 2 is probably going to get dropped to at least plat 1.

Soft reset when the actual season begins. Can grind out more lp/elo during pre season to give yourself a better position to start from though.

Renekton has a super strong laning phase up top. He really has no bad matchups and has a ton where he just dominates. Volibear is primarily a jungler, but has great snowball potential at lower skill levels as a top laner... wouldn't try it if you tend to be evenly matched against your laning...

Didn't know about the lack of reset. Thats nice to hear though.

No clue how they are going to do it this year. In S2 start they let you play ranked pre season and it didn't seem to be any different from the regular season. Except they fucked up and didn't give people their placement matches so anyone who started early was only getting 12-18 elo a win. In S3...

Grats on getting out of bronze though! Rewards have hit, the skin looks pretty badass, so does the ward skin. Plat icon/border pretty underwhelming haha. Oh well, accomplished my goal for this season and then some. Started in bronze and ended up plat 3. Not too shabby.

Keep playing with your level thirty friends. Getting matched against people better then you is the fastest way to get better. Like Teekey said, when you queue solo you'll start stomping people if you try and learn from the hard games.

Generally speaking, you aren't considered experience with the game, much less good, until you've got 300ish wins under your belt. Of course if you are a mechanics freak or have a ton of DoTA/HoN high level experience that cuts down the learning curve dramatically.

I play both. A lot more league then DotA but both have their place. I'll of course play HoTS just for the ability to play all the champs I've grown up with/seen in blizzard games for years.

Before he got nerfed AP sion was an early to mid game one man wrecking crew. Get a couple of dorans or a blasting wand and mobo boots for your first buy. Proceed to two shot everything as you clear a wave with one W, run to another lane and gank. Then get back before the wave pushes back. Loved...

Because heimer isn't seeing huge play even after his rework people are seeing his new burst (honestly not that bad on SR) and better utility and still thinking his turrets have decent health pools. It is very easy to take out his turrets and take away his zone control. He still has heimer's old...

I've watched the replay of the match a couple of times now and its really something to see how he manipulated the lane and myself. Always had the minions where he wanted them, never gave me a free last hit without putting some damage on me (he was playing ori), landing every last hit and having...

Laned against him on his NA smurf account last week. Boy did that suck! I know watching the pro's you can see that they are on another level, but actually having to play against them really just drove home how far the challenger+ plus players are ahead of everyone else. The only positive things...

Felt pretty strong to me. Not enough play testing though and I haven't played a lot of Sivir since early s2 when her and taric were bullshit op lane combo.

It does it at all 1---5 if it judges your mmr isn't high enough. Happened to me heading in to gold a month back as well. Horrible feeling.

Most likely silver V's? If so yah they got promo'd and can't be demoted out of silver so they just have tanked bronze whatever mmr.

I think you should really hammer out the kinks in normal until you step in to ranked. Grinding out the noobishness without tanking your rating would solve a lot of ranked problems. The link below is what I mean when I talk about embracing the bad by the way. Welcome to Dota, You Suck |...

Embrace being bad. Its the secret path to becoming less bad. Sorry man, but this is pretty much the DOTA or DOTAlike mentality. Anyone who has played in the genre long enough is just tired of posts that put the burden of not winning on your team for the most part. Its seen as a cop out and most...

Do you mean the options they give you as part of the game or third party mod stuff like WoW? I never did any of the latter, but I have my minimap much larger then the default size so I notice ganks or map rotations from the enemy team faster. Some people like to shift mini map/inventory position...

I replied to you once during this discussion and the post you quoted wasn't it. I was completely on point as to what Earthfell started going on about in his first response to you and subsequent posts that he made, which I quoted and replied too. As far as the current conversation goes. Nasus...

No its pretty much the truth. When I bemoaned the shitty comps, trolls, bad play, whatever I stagnated in bronze and silver shitland. Once I just ignored it all and concentrated on my own play I began my upward climb. It really is as simple as get better. Because as you get better games that...

You didn't dominate enough. You didn't win your lane hard enough, help mid win theirs, invade the enemy jungle and steal some buffs, carry team fights, or pressure objectives. I know people hate to be told they aren't good at something (keep in mind I still consider myself bad at this game), but...

Sorry, its the truth. There's a reason that people who get to diamond/plat don't get stuck dicking around in bronze/silver/gold for long when they make smurfs or a new season starts. I still blow chunks in this game compared to diamond level players. Had one in a normal I was in and he went...
