League Of Legends

My bro in law only plays ADC. I should play more support with him from time to time. Maybe I'll try Gragas support tonight.

Another champ I'd like to try but I never did before is Lissandra. How does she fit into the top-meta these days? Seems like some people play her still doing a cursory search around the internets.

Gragas top is decent against AD tops. Rush an iceborne then just go straighty tanky. Great dueling in lane and decent push + being a tanky guy when team fights hit.

I could see Lissandra working top if you need the extra CC. I don't see why she wouldn't have the ability to keep bruisers at bay between her root and her q slow. The problem would lie in that you either would now be running a double AP comp or two super squishy champs so your jungle/support would need to be more on the tankier side I would say to pull this off.

Do you really think they are going to keep the Ancient Golem's +25% bonus health that is currently on the PBE? That would be fun on someone like Vlad. Too bad everyone else on that item is useless for non-junglers and Vlad isn't a jungler.

25% "of" bonus health.

I think it only applies to Health you receive for items and masteries/Runes. And considering it lost 150 Hp on the item itself, I dont think that its a massive change.

Sure but you're adding 25? on every item. That's a deathcap for hps. Would be a fun gimmicky build for vlads W with some warmogs.

So apparently there is suppose to be some new amazing easter egg on the new summoner rift map? Anybody know what it is as the reaction that was posted by the riot employee seems over the top.

Going to be busy this week so probably won't get power rankings out til wednesday. Or maybe I'll just do them but won't include them in an image and just type them out instead. Also, fuck NA teams yo. CLG blows ass game 1, completely dominates 2nd game. Dig completely dominates their game 1, blows ass their game 2. Fuck that. Dlift/CLG get me less than 10 points during game one yet 50 points total in their 2nd game. Shiptur+Kiwi get me ~40 points 1st game and like 3 points their 2nd game. Fuck that. Fantasy LCS sooo raaaaaaaage.

lol I hadn't even looked at my fantasy team all this week, I won by 0.04 points? Good thing I wasn't watching, too much stress as it is

Has anyone had any success recently with Katarina. Started playing here over the weekend and I'm either feast or famine with her. I'm either 15-X-X or upside down on the KDA. Her laning phase is a pain in the ass.

Played my first Lissandra game top. Not a bad champ. Kind of fun to play.

Sid got handcuffed this week. I play a lot more EU than most teams I think so I was finished, ahead by 80 points and Sid still had 4 to score: Shiphtur, Kiwikid, Doublelift and CLG. Sadly, they were playing each other so I just needed one team to stomp. Shiphtur went Orianna and I was very very excite.

GGs.

This NA split has been a lot more fun to watch. The teams seem to be on much more equal footing and every game is worth watching.

To me there are a couple of key things for kat that can help you out and it may sound like just general advice (and I suppose it is) but to me it makes more a difference on her.

One is your lane match up...do you know it, like do you know if you win it, break even, have a hard time farming, etc. This can help knowing if you just need to get 6 fast and roam or how to contribute and get kat rolling as if she gets behind she is useless.

Is the enemy team looking to counter you? Are they focusing you and if they are focusing you are you playing around that. A good example for me here is I had one team hardcore on me all day so I made sure I got zhonya's asap and would jump in to get them to go nuts on me only to zhonya and have a lot of their shit down now and I would run rampant. This leads me to my final point. Your team.

Does your team have more than 1 damage dealer? Are you the only one doing good and able to put out damage or are there other threats on your team. This kind of ties in above, as if you are the only threat they are looking to kill you to win. This also starts in champ select and runs through the game. To me with kat you need to keep tabs on more stuff than normal since she has to go all in so much. If I am playing someone much safer ziggs etc...it doesn't matter as much imo. Maybe I am just rambling though, who knows.

My problem is my engagement timing. There are some games it seems everyone is saving a CC for when I ult, every single top. Need more practice on timing and target selection.

Those are the times I would be looking to bait with a Zhonya engage to where they might blow some cc trying to stop you or perhaps wait until you know you can jump in and get a quick reset then perhaps zhonya, however, this only works if you have other damage sources on your team. If you are the sole "real" damage on the team they will wait all day to CC you if they are good. If you want to add me (forum name same as IGN) if I don't already have you and just forgot, I can certainly spectate and see or play some games with you if you like, but it seems you know what you are doing wrong.
