As implied in the name of the thread (inspired by the "How was your day?" thread in the Speakeasy), this is a place to post about your day in LoL!

However, if anything you want to post fall into these threads: The LoL Rage thread by MasPan (http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=54770) and Post your games! by Berzerk (http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=54790), post them there. This thread is for anything other than the topics covered by those threads, such as random thoughts while playing LoL, random events you saw in LoL, basically anything relating to LoL on a daily basis!

Post away!

I'll start off:

Yesterday, I attended a tourney hosted by my LoL club at my university as part of a gaming convention held over the weekend (geeks galore!). While my team didn't do so well (for the record, I wasn't committed to an organized team, and so I was thrown into a team composed of non-committed players. You can imagine how those games went, haha), I also got a couple of opportunity to shoutcast a few games for the audience. Oh man, it was rough at the beginning, but I was a bit more comfortable at of it the second time around. Though if I want to be serious about it, I'll have to more shoutcasting just to get the experience, as well as increase my knowledge of the game just to be good at it.

In other words: While shoutcasting isn't something that I would like to do on a serious basis in the future, it was fun while I did it, and got quite a bit of insight into the area of shoutcasting. xD

Changed my rune page around and added some mastery points, so now i have +13% Attack Speed. Played on Kog'Maw to try it out, reached 2.5 attacks per second (which i believe is the limit).
With Bio-Arcane barrage mastered and the Bloodrazor item built, every basic attack by Kog'Maw did normal damage, PLUS it takes away 10% of the opponents HP every hit. Yeah, so i was killing champions in around 3 seconds from far far away.
My kill count soared in that fight.

Also tried using Lux and Ezreal. Lux is so much fun, her abilities are amazing and fit my play style really well, and i fall in love with her ultimate again everytime i use it, it's just freaking "KAMEHAMEHA" and then your enemies are dead. it looks badass.
Found it a bit hard to get used to Ezreal, but i still did alright with him, his game sprite looks awesome too.

I also played on a 1v1 match vs a random friend on the twisted treeline map (the first time i've been on it). He used Cho Gath and i used Evelynn. being able to stealth made killing him easy, but i was still on the ropes a lot of the time because of his crowd control attacks, he broke through all the turrets on one side and destroyed my inhibitor in a few attempts, and i hadn't even scratched his first turret. I fought off the super minions until the inhibitor respawned, killed him, and then made one big push, destroying all his turrets, his inhibitor and his nexus in one go, winning the game.

It was freaking awesome.

Played some inhouse games with LoL U. In the last game, people recognized that I was the biggest gamechanger, so they banned Anivia (who I never played in an inhouse game). So I picked Kog'Maw just to spite them. Facerape commences.

Also, getting close to completing a new runepage to replace one that's been sitting useless for a while now.

I love it so when blind pick gifts me an enemy team with few interrupts as Katarina. I went around 17/3/12 in a game today with her completely carrying my team. Was also very interesting to lane against a blitzcrank mid. I could cs easily just being faster then him with shunpo but he gave me a lot of trouble later when he went extremely tanky and so fast with his W. Granted I already had like 6 kills then so the damage was done and I dominated the rest of the team fights. Almost had a penta too when they attempted baron but someone got my 4th kill :(. TL;DR: KATARINA IS AWSOME! :)

I've been hit point-blank with that thing while trapped by her binding and getting beaten up by someone else and I still wound up with like 1/3 health. In the lategame. On Malzahar.
Only really seems helpful in early/midgame when you can hit retreating/recalling enemies on mid.
Anyhow, this is more how my weekend was than how today was, but here goes:
Discovered that I do much better with Malz on regular random matches with people my level, but Rammus gives me more success when I'm against better people (noteably playing with Olsi and his friends).
Had a couple games where I went legendary+ (12/0/2 one game, 14/0/5 another) with no deaths until about 30 minutes in, when I started to go up against the other team's carry, who my team had fed more than I had been fed. Did not end up well. I also discovered that Warwick is amusing to play against on mid. As is Garen. As is Amumu. As is Janna. As is Xerath. As is Ziggs. Went godlike or better against all of them.
Oh, and Tryndamere is a fucking pain. I would love some help for how to counter or circumvent his Undying Rage bullshit. Preferrably for how to do it on a Malzahar.

Ignite/Exhaust are your best bets.

My 1v1 combo (which uses all my actives lol) includes Ignite, and that didn't seem to help at all. Still had fun chasing him down after his Undying Rage had worn off and getting ganked, or just getting killed while I tried to run away from him while it was still going after my ult had finished. I guess I should stop using Malefic Visions on him before the ult and maybe going for Deathfire Grasp instead of Morello's. Of course that's only when I'm up against him. I figure Kog'Maw is similarly a bit of a bitch when he dies unless you have Flash.

(For the record: While I wish I waited until this week to buy the Jurassic Cho skin just for the discount, this is one of the few moments where I don't regret shelling out 975 RP for that skin. Especially when I insta-bought it when it was first released. The quality of the skin was definitely worth the money spent)

It's more that I'm using my suppress ult and getting him down to 0 HP in a 1v1 fight, then it ends and he is faster than me and kills me pretty quickly. This is usually in a situation where there's either a teamfight or a skirmish, Trynd gets down to low health and runs into the jungle, and I try to get the kill. He's not bad in teamfights when 1 person can just just use a hard CC and/or just let the tank distract him during his Undying Rage, but he's just a complete pain in 1v1 situations.
Corn
>don't let him farm
>random match
Basically every game I play has a weak lane. I don't have a ton of mobility as malz, and I solo mid with him so if I leave mid to deal with him, their carry gets more free time than is good for me to allow and then I have to deal with THAT.

Corn
2012-04-17, 01:53 PM
Gank him a lot, then, when the time is good.

The best moment would be when you just hit 6. Ult him low with pool, then when 2 seconds after he starts ulting cast Ignite and Malefic Visions on him. If he's in a duo lane, he won't even have his ult.

If it is a 1 v 1 you pretty much do deserve to die anyways, since you shouldn't wander off anywhere alone without any visions. If you got caught by him, your loss.

You could also, if you're confident about versing Tryndamere, ask your top to switch with you. Some tops are decent at mid, and Malzadar should destroy Tryndamere in the lane.

You people are too greedy. You should realize that forcing him base is already a victory in itself since you can push a creep wave into his tower or steal some jungle creeps, to get yourself an advantage. Later on just use your malefic visions + ignite after he has some fair time on his ultimate and you'll be able to kill him 1vs1.

more on topic: Played some TT today, which made me wonder how many different elo's there are and how they are calculated, seeing as I got matched up with atrocious people, way below everything I normally see in ranked SR games. Either way I'm backing down from there again because I don't like my average queue time to be 8 minutes.

So i played a game as Vayne, and we were in the enemies base after destroying their last inhibitor, one of them (a Poppy) tried to run away because she was one hit from dying, and she ran towards her spawn point, i was just about to catch her when the enemies Skarner used his impale move thingy to grab me and pull me into the enemy spawning area, making me get killed in one hit from the turret there.

I was seriously in awe, and i had to congratulate the guy for killing me in such an unconvential and AWESOME way.

In a skirmish? Yes. In a teamfight, especially if he has teleport? Not at all.

Decided to try out Orianna because she seemed interesting, and wow, that is one difficult but rewarding champion.

She's difficult to use and i haven't mastered using her yet, but i'm having fun trying because her abilities are really interesting, even if i fail at them.
I especially like how i can attach The Ball to my teammates, have one of them run straight into a group of enemies and then i can activate my ultimate, it protects the ally, does crazy amounts of damage and groups them all together for even faster killing with my other abilities.

Also she's as creepy as hell, especially with the patchwork skin.

Played Dr Mundo (for the first time in FOREVER) up top today, and I was against Vlad. Such a bad matchup, mind you (with me being at a disadvantage). Then again, I had to just bear with it until I got some MR up (plus get some ganks). Then after a certain point, it was fun being tanky and just popping your ult to trolololol heal + escape your way out whenever I was split pushing. Though I had to be thankful because I was in a premade and a couple of my mates got fed, so that relieved some pressure off me.

I was about to build an Atmas (or a Warmogs), but my team pushed enemy base hard to the point that I didn't bother to go back and get it.

Brb, learning to play Dr. Mundo properly X_X.

(Also, its funny when I popped my ult later in the game and watch my HP5 go to 500+. Trolololol)

Udyr is an absolute BAUSS.
pretty much fell in love with him straight away. His abilities are so diverse and fun to use, every single form can be used in tandem with another one (for example, rushing in and stunning as bear, then nuking as tiger and switching to turtle to heal and block.
It's awesome in 1v1 because the enemy really has to stay on their toes, run away from me when i use bear, nuke me when i'm using turtle. they just can't catch up, it's great

Is he in Bear form?
-W (shield), spam Q/autoattack alternating, hit with E occasionally (only if E is maxed) to heal
Is he in Turtle form?
-W (shield), spam Q/autoattack alternating, hit with E occasionally (only if E is maxed) to heal
Is he in Tiger form?
-W (shield), spam Q/autoattack alternating, hit with E occasionally (only if E is maxed) to heal
Is he in Phoenix form?
-W (shield), spam Q/autoattack alternating, hit with E occasionally (only if E is maxed) to heal

R to drag him around if he tries to run, cast W again when it's off cooldown to run away if needed.

shes overnerfed atm, cant manage against teemo
there are a LOT of champs that cant handle teemo, and youll find that often when you think you have a bad matchup its because your jungle ignores you (like they should really) and their jungle makes a couple kills on you and sends their top 2 levels ahead... and even then you can go even.

MasPan
2012-04-27, 03:28 PM
Shrooms alone make ganking Teemo difficult - free wards that last 10 minutes and damage/slow an incoming Jungler. Junglers tend to be pretty autoattack reliant as well, so his blind is particularly helpful there, and move quick gets him out of there before he's ever really in danger.

modular

The jungler tried to gank me. Shrooms and Move Quick made that rather difficult.

thats what happens when it goes right

when it goes wrong for me is pre-6 when the other person doesnt last hit well and the wave autopushes from me last hitting... and the jungler comes up, forces my flash, and comes back. then comes back again when i get back to lane.

post-6, sometimes a support/jungler will pop in with an oracle... then i feel really useless, specially if im behind or even.

when left alone to lane in a lot of matchups, teemo pretty much always takes a tower without his being touched. or steals buffs. or both.

Backdoor Teemo OP. Thanks for the free 5v4 fights, buddy. Took a bit to convince the team to keep pushing instead of going to defend the turret - 2 turrets + inhib > 1 turret. Every time. Cass getting focused and caught out of position and blaming me constantly was funny as hell though, but never thanking me for flash+ulting Teemo/Vayne. Finally, I have discovered a great joy - Impaling Ahri just as she tries to ult away (dragging her right back to where she was + further back). It's an amazing feeling - I can't help but shout something like "Oh no you don't, bitch!"

Oh, and 4 autoattack-reliant champions? <3 Thornmail.

Ahem. MIA/SS is a luxury, not a right. it is a team game, yes - this means you need to be aware of what your teammates' lane status is and where their opponents are. It does not mean your teammates should be responsible for stopping to type something that your own eyes are capable of seeing without moving the camera away from your lane at all.

Riot support is so much better than Nexon support.

I logged five tickets about being hacked and autobanned for using Dragon Blink last August. I have... 25, 37, 36, 36, and 36 emails respectively telling me how Nexon is continuing to experience a high ticket volume at this time and that I'm not forgotten. They send those emails once a week.

For a long time, I had a runepage called "I Hate LeBlanc", with AP for farming minions, MR up da ass, and HP.

Today, I was last pick on my team. I picked Anivia. Their last pick countered with LeBlanc. I succeeded in not feeding her in laning phase, and I used my farming powers to farm moar and push to the tower. Famished LeBlanc couldn't do enough damage to me, so I began to out-trade her, and caused her great misery.

But then she got a kill by ganking top. =(

Still won though.

But seriously, I feel like I spend too much time in the jangle nowadays. I need to jangle less and focus more on excelling in the top, AD (bot), and mid (AP) roles. I specialize way too much in the jangling role, and that feels so wrong. :f4:

first 2 were in mid, 1st time against Brand, second time against Katarina. In both matches i got 7-9 kills and died once or twice at most, the enemy surrendered both times.

I can't really see how you come to that conclusion. I would actually see Katarina as a counter to Swain because she has healing reduction and the mobility to dance around his leash/snare. Swain also has no way to easily escape from her ultimate with hard cc or a blink. Katarina is definitely underrated these days and can easily go toe to toe with other casters like Morgana, Lux or Anivia to name a few.

I think we all know where you're coming from. But I'ma say that a Kat ulting under your turret when she's not fed is a very rare occurence and mostly accidental. Hell, I see Kats use it to harass in the middle of a lane more than anything. If they're fed though, the ult is usually to outright kill you.

I forgot to post this when it actually happened to me, but... why am I so bad at most melee champions ;_;?

I've been so pumped for Udyr free rotation, because Udyr's hardly ever on free rotation. If I recall correctly, it's been the only time in Season 2 that he's been free. He stood out to me as a pretty awesome champion who was incredibly strong without an ult and I loved the idea of his 4 stances- sounded like they'd make for some totally badass fights. After a couple of practice games as him, I gave myself a couple of games with friends who I thought would be able to win even if I sucked ass. And unfortunately, I sucked lots of ass.

1. Jungle Udyr- 0/7/7. I was leveling decently early in the game up until level 10 or so, when I start falling behind. I can probably attribute this to a few reasons- getting carried away with ganks, died a couple of times trying to save teammates or trying to turn around a seemingly failed fight by arriving. The only reason I was really of any use this game was my stun and putting lots of good wards for my team.
2. Jungle Udyr- 4/10/10. I get to level 3 and once I kill Red, Olaf comes out of the bush and jumps me. I run away because I know that it's a very likely losing fight because of Olaf's true damage and his slow and since my health is already fairly low from fighting Red, I try to run. I've never really been counterjungled like this before and it completely caught me out of nowhere. Olaf kills me and gets First Blood. Since none of the lanes seem to be in any trouble, I try to level up in my jungle- and there Olaf is again. He starts appearing in the lanes for ganks, and I try to come in and help my teammates once he's there. Though we did manage to take down his teammates, taking down Olaf was a pain- and he was really good at killing my teammates. Some of my attempts to help ended in me dying or me having to run away after watching my teammates die. Olaf got fed, and he was practically unkillable at some point, so we surrendered.
3. Lane Udyr- 1/8/12. Frustrated with my experience being counterjungled by Olaf, I try Lanedyr. I'm solo top against Garen and Olaf up top. I know not to get close to them and basically just hold my turret and try to rack up my CS as best as I can, since I know it's incredibly unsafe to harass. After my first death at level 4 or so, Jax offers to help, since bot wasn't going that badly. I help him get a good number of kills and things were kinda cool. I don't really remember much of the rest, but I remember trying to initiate for my team; and I'd try to run away if I was dying and it seemed like I wouldn't land a kill out of staying any longer. I can't describe it very well, but a friend who asked me to play with him for this game said that I was playing too scared and passive. After the whole game was done, he said, "Never play Udyr again :/"

I remember having a similar experience with Garen when I first started, only I was too bloodthirsty and that caused me to die a lot- and so got yelled at. A friend backed me up and gave me advice and we won the game, but I never played Garen again. Why do I suck at melee champs like Udyr and Garen ;_;? I don't seem to have too much of a problem with Leona, and it seems like I'll be pretty fine playing as Riven- but why? Why do I suck at melee champs so badly?

Played with varrus recently, his Q is interesting with smart cast since the moment you stop pressing the key the arrow will shoot, and his E with smart cast its a little weird due to that little delay it has.

Exploding blight was also kinda difficult since you need to hit with one of your skills and being my first time with him, didn't knew exactly the ranges and shit. And not to mention you need to Last hit like a boss with him so you can keep the passive up and running 24/7

Varus strikes me as a guy that seems to be able to do more than he's actually able to do. He definitely needs help to make the full use of his ultimate, since it's pretty easy to just run away from his ult (assuming you weren't his first target).

i played him once and dont like him. he has an artificially high skill cap induced by having really long skill ranges (and long cooldowns) compared to his autoattack range. optimizing your damage requires you to wait to use abilities until after you sneak in a few attacks, which isnt fun imo. and without trying to optimize his damage, hes just a hybrid of mf and a more utility based ult. and mf is way easier to play.

plus his base attack speed feels terrible thanks to his passive (but it isnt actually bad). the passive is the only part i like about him.

waste of 6300 for me, except for arams :/

I played AD carry. I just simply played nice, ignored what they had to say, and reported them after. (The amount of rage they put out will definitely show up in the Tribunal, that's for sure). Though it makes my heart melt to see them throwing personal insults at me. My only thing to say to this is...."lol really? Are you really willing to resort to under-the-belt personal insults just to make yourself feel better? How sad"

Regardless, I will continue to play ranked and try to climb the ladder. These types of behavior motivates me to get better and get out of that ELO range.

Sometimes the banter and exchanges are pretty funny. Some people can be pretty friendly, though that generally only happens with a mature base. Which... is pretty much mid-high elo =/

y0y0y0y0shi0, you can't realistically stay out of range of skillshots as an AD carry. Skillshots generally outrange auto-attack range by anywhere between 100-600. The big tradeoff is that skillshots do not hit things reliably, and you can dance around minions to avoid most of them (not true in this case unfortunately).

Ashe's range is 600, so she's a little bit safer than the standard AD carry (550). In comparison, Leona's skillshot is 700 range, which is actually on the short end of the skillshot range spectrum. Her ultimate has a whopping 1200 range from center of champion to center of effect. Unless I plan on farming with Volley only (1200), you lose a lot in being paranoid about it and letting her zone you just because she might use it.

Pure myth by my experience and I'm around 1800 elo. Every elo range has around the same ratio of leavers/feeders/ragers/idiots/etc., granted I have never been below 1100 elo to testify on that.

Au contraire. Usually in huge stomps I make friends with the other team for fun, either because I figure we're screwed and I might as well joke around or because I'm happy that we're gonna win, or I'm joking around with the person/people I'm laning against.

I tend to get along better with the enemy team most of the time, probably because it's harder to get mad at them for anything going wrong vice your teammates. Some of the most fun matches I've had have been matches where the teams are exchanging witty banter, laughing at mistakes together, both teams hunting the other team's Teemo...etc. Had one hilarious game where I seem to recall both Teemos ending up within 500 range of each other hiding in bushes or something - when we finally realized what happened we couldnt stop laughing.

Just played a game where my team lost pretty badly. However, I wasn't giving up yet, and willing to fight until the end.

Closer to the end of the game, I noted the opposing team heading to Baron. I grabbed Renekton to help me out, even though I knew it was going to mostly likely be a 2v4 effort. He went in, distracted them long enough for me to Smite steal Baron, and managed to pick up Volibear. However, Renekton was taken out, and I had to bounce before I got nailed next. I made a beeline to the base, encountered enemy Morgana from the fog of war at the same time Lux ulted, JUMPED the laser with flash, and got out with <200 HP. Made it back alive to the base.

Ontopic: Played for the first time in a week or something. Not too shabby. I'm on a win streak. One game as Lux (did horribly), one game as Jarvan (did not-so-horribly).

Played a game as Lux. Got fed a little by Annie in mid.

Game was pretty much 1 kill per team, pretty even.

They pushed us a lot and got rid of our 3 outer turrets and a couple of inner.

I noticed they were heading to Baron. Got my team to follow. They got Baron. We killed them all.

We pushed and won.

Feels good man.

This happened to me once before except the bot penta killed me + 4 bots ._.

I'm not selling, just FYI to anyone out there, although to be honest not like you can steal anything from someone's account.

Too bad Fortify was removed way back. :f4:

Though I have to admit, those troll comps are funny at times xD. I remember the all-tank + Heal/Fortify team composition that I went up against once way back (similar to the comp shown in the screenshot). If your all-tank team were able to hold out long enough, it was basically "tank all day, never let turrets die, never let yourself die, huehuehuehue".

Tried out Athene's Unholy Grail with Anivia. With double Doran's and Chalice, I was near able to farm the lane indefinitely.

But then the Morgana I was going up against d/c'd or something, and it went downhill for them from that point.

So its good? Nice, i wonder if the old ultimate of taric would have been worth with that chalice.

loving swain with the new grail. With the nerfs blue got it was pretty difficult to compete with other APs but now I can keep my ult up a much longer while in fights. Funny watching 3 people stand around you during zhonyas while my birds heal me to full and chunk them over and over.

Chalice is an item of self-reliant mana regeneration and laning longevity. It almost seems to me that it might not be as good as it seems though, since this item was apparently designed to give you a helping hand if you're losing. It does do that to an extent. But it's also a jack-of-all-trades sort of item for caster champions, and we know how that goes *cough*Nidalee*cough*.

I'd do have to admit though, it does show good promise after seeing today's performance, aside from the fact that I get vulnerable to ganks. (Alistar coming from behind? Kill Morgana.) In terms of numbers...


Anivia, level 6
MP5: 7 + 0.6/lvl = 10.6
Mana pool: 257 + 53/lvl = 575

Items
2x Doran's Rings:
MP5: 2 x 5 = 10
Cost: 475 gold
Chalice of Harmony:
MP5: 7.5 + 1% total MP5 per missing 1% of mana
Cost: 890 gold
Boots:
Cost: 350 gold

Total stats:
MP5: 28.1 to 56.2
AP: 30 + runes + masteries
Cost: 2190 gold

Glacial Storm, level 1
Costs:
75 mana on activate
40 mana per second = 200 MP5
Tic duration: 0.5 seconds
Damage: 80 magic damage + 0.25/AP per second
Assume damage = 92.5 magic damage per second

Melee Minions
HP: 445 + 20/3 minutes (including the 90 seconds of time before minions spawn)
Assume HP = 505
MR: 0 + 1.25/3 minutes
Respawn rate: one wave every 30 seconds

Basic calculations
Time to kill melee minions: 4.5 to 6.5 seconds, due to minion damage, auto-attacking, and AP
4.5 seconds is the fast case.
5.5 seconds is standard base case.
6.5 seconds is absolute worst case.
Mana cost: 75 + 20 per tic
235 mana
275 mana
315 mana
Crest of the Ancient Golem:
MP5: 25 + 0.5% of maximum mana = 27.875
Mana regenerated: 167.25 per wave

Advanced calculations
Assume regenerations are calculated every 0.5 seconds (probably wrong though).
Assume NONE of the conditions change (level, minion strength, etc.)
Assume you can move, auto-attack, and use the ability Glacial Storm.
Assume it takes about 25 seconds to reach a side lane.
Using Excel with the fast case:
After 30 waves, lowest mana point is stable at approximately 115.1 mana. Indefinitely sustainable.
If you're ganking a lane, mana regeneration would give you approximately 330 mana by the time you reach a side lane.
Mana regenerated: 214.9
This is only enough for three to four spells in general.
Using Excel with the standard base case:
After 30 waves, lowest mana point is stable at approximately 27.9 mana. Indefinitely sustainable.
If you're ganking a lane, mana regeneration would give you approximately 270 mana by the time you reach a side lane.
Mana regenerated: 242.1
This is only enough for two to three spells in general.
Using Excel with the absolute worst case:
After 5 waves, you'd OOM. Ouch. Better resort to using Flash Frost and auto-attacking to hold the minions at bay.

Damn that looks pretty decent actually xD In fact, it's BETTER than blue buff if you ignore CDR in this case! I think the main problem with this analysis is getting the gold for those items by level 6, but it's generally only going to get slightly better as you level up anyways. Well, maybe not for Anivia, since her skill costs go up by 20 everytime she skills up.

Nice. I get to 150 normal wins (cool) and then have 3 miserable games in a row - very likely the last ones I'll get to play before my ship leaves. I just wanted one more good game before then, but nope. The last one was particularly painful - enemy team had no jungler, Lee Sin and I were destroying top lane (I ganked three times, first was a double kill, second a kill, third a kill) but Kog'Maw was useless and we fell apart in team fights. Everyone would kindof mill about near the enemy tower forever, then run away when they got below 1/3 health instead of staying to fight it out. This kind of scattering effect cost us the early fights, which gave the enemy the momentum to snowball the later fights. Bad focusing, Lee kicking Katarina to safety, etc.

I almost got a penta in Ranked today, Teemo was laughing at me when he said I couldn't find him and my time for penta let up. I dropped his ass with my Ultimate. Then I continued to faceroll his team. Feltgoodman.jpg

Relevant to my interests: Robot Amumu's laugh is apparently global (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2161061)

TSM TheOddOne just demonstrated the Robot Amumu skin in-game, spammed the laugh emote, and made the opposing team go "wt'f?". I think I might buy it just for the global taunt laugh, LOL

Apparently D3 will be the death of LoL U. So I'm hanging out in both LoL University and Summoner School for the time being. Summoner School seems a lot nicer, mainly due to the leadership, so that might be my new home chat.

Trying to get better at enemy players movements i.e. Where they would go during certain situations + enemy jungler's movements/mindset

Today on the blue side 2nd top tower bush, there was an enemy teemo solo pushing the lane to the tower. Three of us went over and by the time we got there, he was gone. After we cleared the minions, my 2 teammates left but i knew teemo was stealthed inside that bush. I was playing teemo as well so I put a mushroom inside that bush. Just like I thought, the mushroom blew up. Enemy teemo didn't move so I planted 2 more mushrooms on him and they both boomed. He finally moved at 20% health and I easily killed him since he was poisoned/slowed from the mushrooms.

Felt so good.
