I contest that statement - I was dealing damage even before I got "fed" in the second game.

that's because min-gnar is a stupid painful jerk

but i was speaking more in a broad sense than in regards to the thing in specific

Oh, alright.

Frankly, I can see why most people think Gnar sucks - he's inconsistent as shit, which is why he'll probably never be used in competitive play. There's also the fact that Mini-Gnar and Mega-Gnar are effectively two completely different champions that require two completely different build paths and two completely different playstyles, people would need to have ample knowledge of both AD Carries (Since mini-gnar pretty much plays as one) and Tanks to play him effectively and find a way to give both forms exactly what they need (which effectively means build bruiser). There's just so many things about gnar that are in opposition that it's hard to wrap your head around, so yeah, I can see why people say he sucks.

(And even when you do know how to play him, there's still the fact that he's just inconsistent and counterplay against him is really easy - don't engage when he's at full rage, so yeah.)

There are times when you have to question your shot-caller.

Raitaki · « **Reply #244 on:** September 16, 2014, 05:40:43 AM »

Man oh man, I think I found out who to buy after Azir.
Granted, he might be not as good on SR and HA (mana problems, for example), but personally I think he'd be a pretty decent jungler, especially if one or more of the other team's lanes have no escape. He duels surprisingly well, the total amount of damage he can withstand scales upwards the longer you let the fight drag on, and he's excellent at AoE'ing groups and megapeel like a boss, too.
Still trying to figure how exactly I should build him, but at the moment it seems tanky AD rushing Sheen is best. The last 2 games I did like 41k dmg to champs, the highest on my team in the one we lost and only 2k behind Brand the one we won :V (the other 41k game was only lost because our team was literally so lacking in DPS I ended up the highest by like 10k. Apparently Morgana/Teemo/Ez doesn't hurt enough when they have 3 tanks, especially when Teemo chickens out and takes time off to place shrroms, orz)

and having more than 2 junglers (1 of which can't tank) would be nice too.

you missed the skarner freelo train not long ago. Now he's just balanced and eh because you can pick more broken op stuff than him but he's ok

Iryan · « **Reply #246 on:** September 16, 2014, 06:35:43 AM »

Man, they sure pimped out the new champion spotlight visually, and Phreak continues being Phreak.

Azir looks very fun... dammit!

triangles · « **Reply #247 on:** September 16, 2014, 01:01:07 PM »

Azir looks so slick but I will most certainly be competing with my husband for the title of Worst Azir NA let me tell you.

Raikaria · « **Reply #248 on:** September 16, 2014, 02:37:44 PM »

Meanwhile as I stated when he was first revealed Azir is the sort of champion I want to get GOOD at.

Also having stable FPS and such is doing wonders for my playing right now. Also had the most hilarious ranked game just now as Sona with a Sivir AD, a Lux mid, a Ryze top and a Sej jungle.

Let's just say landing a 4 man Sona ultimate instantly won the teamfight. Which was a 4v5 fight. [Ryze wasn't even there]

Also Sivir R + Sona E + Talisman of Ascensions = EVERYONE IS HECARIM [And no-one can touch the Lux as she spams]

Have I mentioned that I actually like the Sona rework? Feels far more impactful, even if it's only because I pay attention to the little things and hasting your team up is really good. Although I did have one of those moments where it looked like my R hit and it didn't but it was right at maximum range.

But you know one stat I'd love to see?

Damage prevented.

The damage your sheilds absorbed, or your damage reduction reduced. Sadly, stacking shields probably means this can't be tracked :/

Edit: Sadly I cannot carry a Twitch who thinks towerdiving a Thresh lv 3 is smart, flashing into the middle of 3 people is smart, or standing next to the Master Yi who is stunned instead of using my hastes and the stun time to get away...

Phreak has seen too much Twitch chat between the LCS and his own stream.

@Worlds

What happens when you horribly lose a level 1 fight to Samsung White?

An amazingly hilarious game happens where SSW proceeds to give zero fucks for the rest of the game and get 15k gold up by 17 minutes.

god this match is amazing i'm loving it.

(It's SSW Vs AHQ for the record)

end result? 23 minutes game, 22k gold advantage by ssw

this is amazing

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #252 on:** September 18, 2014, 03:03:20 PM »

I don't even care about the result or the quality, this shit is gold. Anyone wanking on and on about competitiveness can walk themselves to OGN.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #253 on:** September 18, 2014, 03:51:04 PM »

after a point it just seemed like AHQ was waiting for 20 minutes, though SSW did some things worth of saltyteemo(dat twitch/thresh towerdive on inner mid turret on tf tho), though I guess you can afford to do these things when you are 10k gold ahead by 10 minutes.

@edit

well, that's worlds for today, tsm have proven that there's a great chance they won't make it past group stages

I'll be surprised if kabum (the br team) actually gets a single win though, as much as I hate to admit it, when a dude that plays nothing but Fiora (and even calls himself "Fiora Mechanics") gets to challenger purely by being carryable, you know something's wrong.

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #254 on:** September 18, 2014, 04:08:40 PM »

Perhaps TPA's performance will finally shut up the haters KEK

Suikama · « **Reply #255 on:** September 18, 2014, 05:55:13 PM »

they still lost tho :derp:

If I see Fiora at Worlds I'm going to be extremely happy.

Even if it turns out the player's god awful.

I just really love Fiora.

boo I missed today and likely tomorrow's games. I didn't know it started so soon. Now I gotta watch the reboardcast.

Nothing against you but I seriously don't want to see any Fioras in my ranked games, I'm glad they're gone and I hope they never come back.

Especially after a dude I know decided that mid Fiora was legit and got carried to gold by spamming it, and flaunts that around my face because I'm too lazy to climb out of Silver.

And there's no better way to bring a champion into solo q than seeing it picked into worlds... especially considering Kabum is (IIRC) the only BR team in worlds :colonveeplusalpha:

So I just played a Dominion match with the insistence of 2 friends, and all 7 other players were bots.

Dominion has a fuckload of bots playing it, because it's not watched over much by Riot, and people can use it to farm IP/EXP.

Riot's supposed to be doing something about it. Hopefully. 7 bots in one game is a record though.

Yeah you're wisahing on a star to see Fiora at Worlds I...

What am I saying someone picked mid Hecarim in promos and he actually did OK. [It was the rest of his team falling apart...]

also today's pools have started and what the fuck the supports are sona vs janna

I mean I'm not objected to this at all but what.

EDIT: holy shit please watch TPA vs SK's match from this morning it's just constant back and forth and big plays

Raikaria · « **Reply #266 on:** September 19, 2014, 01:12:48 PM »

Tristana has a 100% pick/ban rate and a 100% win rate so far I believe.

Edit: Oh wait apparently SK managed to lose with her.

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #267 on:** September 19, 2014, 11:53:31 PM »

DP lost with her too IIRC

e: nvm i'm a dum, that was almost certainly before their game

Guys, convince me to do ranked. Last time I had to 7 matches with the last 6 hours of season 3. I don't want to do that again. At the same time though, I don't want to ranked.
