Practically EVERYONE you play against has more experience than you and that really is key to winning lane (and thus setting yourself up for lategame relevance). You've jumped across four roles in two weeks and have exposed yourself to a new matchup almost every single game. Sure, you fed Nasus...

Well it'd be nice to at least differentiate between bronze/gold/platinum advice. I think discourse between all the segments of the ladder is healthy but if I see a disagreement on strategy/tactics I'll inevitably side with the higher ranked player. Everytime a platinum guy ends up in one of my...

I'd rather give smite-less then have my jungler lose red-buff to an aggressive counter-jungler. But it is pretty stupid how the current meta forces the blue side lane to miss CS just to keep the jungler even. On a side note, I was intrigued by Fawe looking at Wizardhawks' recent games and...

These really aren't the type of games you should be questioning. A complete slaughter like 3/18 forfeit at 20 doesn't really take much analysis; game was a loss and its doubtful you could have made any impact. I think ~40 percent of games you'll win because your team carries, ~40 percent...

Two points to make here. I spent 150+ games of normal playing MF and when S3 ladder started I went 9-1 with MF in my placement matches. My team was glad to give me ADC throughout this because my win rate spoke for itself. I had FAR more experience playing MF with any permutation of friendly...

It doesn't take too many champs for a particular role to be able to counter properly. I want to interject real quick with how I personally think a lot of people in my elo and below read WAY too much into countering... so much so that they'll google for a counter and then end up playing a champ...

Wizard, whats your ingame name? I'll spectate some time or invite you to one my normal games w/friends. edit: The last few pages were quite entertaining... one thing I want to throw out there is that ALL of my bronze friends are ragers. A minor set-back earlygame throws them off balance so...

Some people see it as a # that defines their skill. Other people see it as a progression. That same argument would apply to why people ever bothered with PUGs in MMOs... I quit ranked shortly after S3 started and have a much better time just playing normal blind with buddies. Now I'm solo...

Jungle: Udyr, 7/2/6 Support: Morgana, 1/3/22 AP: Lux, 14/4/11 Top: Zac, 6/2/16

So I'm beginning my Bronze Project now. First game was a victory. Pre-Game: Bronze III account; I was first pick and pick MF. I ask team for bans and end up banning Thresh/Amumu/Shen. Everyone on my team runs teleport except me. Morgana support. Laning Phase: Quickly poke enemies...

I plan to test this theory soon. I'm pretty damn convinced I'll win 80 percent of games in bronze, going to start playing ranked on one of my bronze friends accounts soon and I'll keep a log of how it goes and my perception of carrying in bronze. For what its worth, platinum/diamond/challenger...

I quit playing ranked shortly after S3 started. It just wasn't fun for me. Now I play normals with friends and never get mad. I'll duo ranked if someone wants a partner but given that most of my friends are low silver/bronze and belong there they don't like to play ranked with me and have me...

Also, you may skip gold V entirely given that your MMR seems to be mid gold. Ive heard of that happening for other guys who get unlucky in their division series. When they finally break through they go to IV or III.

I made a shop thread in the onslaught shop forum. Periodically I update it with my most recent stashed items. Since adding buyout prices to all my leveling gear (1 alc or 1 chaos) I've been getting a lot more interest. I'm only 61 and have never done maps so I don't have any high end items...

You're playing against mid-gold opponents now and the game is just triple-checking to make sure you belong there. If it didn't do this, there would be way more sullen bitter feed specialists in the V tier of every division who got promoted ahead of their time.

Lol Draegan, you're doing this champ thing out of order. Find a streamer you like then buy champs that you watch him play that look fun! http://www.twitch.tv/wingsofdeath/(Mains top in Diamond 1; probably best all around streamer due to how much effort he puts into explaining his plays and...

Please please please have FFA multiplayer. Never played DayZ; would play this.

That wasn't what I meant to say at all; I was trying to illustrate how a support influences the game in ways other than damage-dealing. However, suck is all relative. You -want- to play support and you want to improve. I'd gain ELO faster duo-queuing with you than the majority of people who...

We discussed this last night; support making a transition to AP in the mid-game of a losing game is just not feasible for a handful of factors: 1) Your team is losing fights, the enemy team has the momentum. This is typically when lower skilled games are inclined to turtle up (or go get...

This was my experience with D3 as well. Initially had a blast and supported the idea of the AH. Quit two weeks later not knowing truly why aside from not having fun any longer. In retrospect, I think it was the utter reliance on the AH for properly equipping ones character. If they ever...

Last time I played I just hit the trade channel with a "WTB x, WTS y" every 3-5 minutes during my normal grind. If I got interested people I'd stop the slaughter for a second and go do the deal back in town. Helped a lot that I didn't fuck around with the "make offer" bullshit. That's the...

+1. Cad has been one of my favorite posters for years.

Any recommendations for build? And why, hopefully? I'd rather drive someone else's well-oiled machine than try to cobble together my own... hah.

Thinking of getting back into this; either onslaught or hardcore. What's a good first pick assuming I don't have any stashed items to fall back on (probably not much)?

Solomid.com has decent builds; watching high level streams is my preferred way since you tend to get better insight as to WHY they do what they do. For example, why would the ADC rush bloodthirster instead of blade of the ruined king. What game dynamics influenced his choice... etc etc. EXP...

My friend is downloading this now; oldschool WoW raider. Anyone here willing to send him some coin to get going early? Name: bulltoad / Horde

Link?

I have two keys to sell for $35 each. Accepting Bitcoins (preferred) or Paypal. Each game key entitles the purchaser to a digital download of the full PC version of Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (due to be released in early May).

Something to consider: it is one thing to snowball within lane, stack up advantage after advantage, etc etc... but to win the game you must successfully convert your own personal advantage to a team advantage. I ONLY play ADC these days and usually just fuck around in normals. Most of the...

The Prison Architect preview video was surprisingly good.

Shrug, my inclination towards server choices is usually PVE assuming the PVE server offers popular forms of structured PVP. Googling for PVP information in this game is harder than I thought it would be.

What's the difference between the two?

Cant decide between servers now -- is it like EQ2 where the pvp server is dead and people only pvp in organized battlegrounds?

What would be the best duo assuming I can convince my brother to play?

Downloading now. Forums surprisingly say that tanks are not in high demand. Controllers are? I'll give controller a shot -- how should I roll this char up? I know absolutely nothing about this game.

EQ.

Can't comment on high level content, but my Lvl 45 Berserker is OP as fuck and does 8-10x more damage than an equally geared Warlock. It has to do with his 45 percent chance to auto-attack EVERTHING around him combined with the ridiculous mudflation on items. Naturally, melee will scale harder...

How many people are playing this beta?

Because people staking their reputation and livelihoods on this industry took note of WoW catering to the low-end crowd vice EQ2/Vanguard catering to the high-end crowd. Casuals make the game; no one wants to be hardcore in a game that only 3 percent of the target audience can actually play.
