Diamond 1 League of Legend player Ask Me ANYTHING

[Kuzon]

i can confirm i was nunu!

[SharkStun94]

how long does it take to get all the champions without buying anything with real money and how come LoL has such a boring ass competitive meta-game?

- never used real money to buy champion crew
(except skins)

- it's not boring lol but i know what you mean
it's most effective

I'm gold 4 atm like 90 LP, lost my promo today.

try focusing on doing different things (but that might not be good for soloq in your case)
especially when you see into plat you'll see people do different thingg but i prefer 5v5s
(going on rant) 5v5s should be more used than solo q's because its team game

but anyhow

1) FARM FARM FARM, you need to learn to get almost perfect cs
go on bot game and see how fast you can get 100cs (if not perfect)
2) learn to trade, again it takes practice so you will have games you lose but dont be bummed out you will learn from it.
ex. when enemy goes for cs I stand near by (depending on our range) and when they hit with their basics i hit back and usually get 2 in when they get 1 or 0 back
3) similar to ahead make sure you get a trade (learn to trade)
4) mechanics! learn your champion well its best if you know few champions than play 20 of them( a lot of people do this )
5) TIMESTAMP!!!!

there's more you can pm me or ask specifically on thread

but tl;dr perfectism will easily win you

also don't rage
it happens to me too but try not too

come play dota, ill destroy you bitch.

serious question now

Do you use smart cast for every skill? or does it depend on the champion and the skill?

Also what's your opinion on smart casting? do you have automatically selected so you just have to press the key or do you keep on shift + key?

i'm on mac so shift keys are easier

because sometimes i **** up, we all do

and its extar mana wasted
and one **** up on teamfight will cost you an arm and a leg

but like i mentioned earlier it's on limiting your mistakes

(and yes I do it on specific champions)
but generally yeah I have it set up on all (most)

[iliketodoit]

is this comparable to being masters in sc2? or is it more exclusive? (3.8% of active playerbase is masters fyi)

[Jaccogo]

Az is the best league playing miscer sorry brah and he lifts unlike your sorry ass

[SharkStun94]

r u a virgin

i always speculated you tryhard nerds were manlet indians

speculations confirmed

do the girls 'mire hard as fuk when you tell them you're diamond on league of legends?

we're all gonna make it brah

you'll see hotties like this a lot

(they're stupid and most are models that have no idea who most people are and if you win even a easy game at tournies they will cling on to you because you're getting a lot of pictures taken)

[Jaccogo]

diamond 1 is top .001%.

theres only 50 people above diamond 1, in challenger

Measly reps for the tips you posted. I agree I think my biggest problem is trading I need to practice it more. You got any tips for jungling? I usually play elise and zac for jungle so if you have knowledge of those two would be nice brah.

[SweatAndTears]

mirin' (srs)
what pros have you queued up/played against.

when you play jungler there's this whole

high risk high reward thing

one big thing is how i said (perfectionism)
one mistake is costly

but one of the many high risk high reward is counter jungling

if you steal their red/blue

they will be put behind by exp,gold,& buff

1 of my fav counter jungling is
another is the warding their buff (my favorite on normal games)
you ward it and let enemy jungler fight the buff and you smite it (steal it) and kill them
or you can kill them and get it while saving your smite

but also

gank ONLY to secure kill (in my opinion others woudl disagree)

soemtimes if i can't get a kill, i would show my face to other lanes to put a presence to scare the enemy so my team will have more time to farm safley or scare their jungler to stop farming and come mid/top/bot etc..

also

try to get into using utility jungling

SO OP!

[tsdb]

No dota 2, no care

[GeneticBubble]

what is this game? is it like some rts starcraft-esq mmo? im totally unaware

[oneshotGG]

Az is the best league playing miscer sorry brah and he lifts unlike your sorry ass

[SharkStun94]

off to bed, feel free to continue asking i'll respond when i wake up

Carry me from silver brah

Lately I've been carrying, but I love top lane.
The cs'ing, being camped by opposing jungles, the dueling, everything.
So far I'm good with lee sin, and Irelia I love being Tanky.
Any tips for top lane? Been playing for 5 months, so far my cs has been
90-100 16-18 minutes in, I'm working on 70 at 10 minutes.
Trading is okay I guess, I know each champs mechanisms and what to bate out ect.

[Jaccogo]

what is the optimal warding for mid lane in a standard solo queue game? I normally ward on the bush just ouside enemy blue and sometimes the enemy wraith camp

everything sounds good,
for mechanics there's also understanding the enemie's mechanics.

i.e. say youre facing riven.
she uses all her skills
you'll know she's on cool down and has nothing but basic attack to fight back, that's when you use your skills

also wait till your jungler comes if it's a tie lane

for top lanes
you either win or tie your lane (your goals)

what is the optimal warding for mid lane in a standard solo queue game? I normally ward on the bush just ouside enemy blue and sometimes the enemy wraith camp

What ever side I ward, I ALWAYS "hug" that side, usually i put it on my tower side of the river (I use 1 ward at a time) and say if i'm purple side i'll ward closer to bot side and hug that side so i can be closer to my tower incase of ganks.

but also me personally I like to put it not in the bush but behind the bush

this way it allows me more safe time to back out

since i'm hugging 1 side its easier if jungler comes from undwarded side and i run away from there

[dopeSwagAF]

how long do u think LoL's popularity will last? has the game peaked already, and if not when do u think it will happen?

Cliffs:

here to help misc brahs out

I lift brahs

bench 135 3x5
squat 115 3x5
dl 185 2x5

[kazlol]

Do you right click to last hit, or A click or any of the other methods, might not be as important for you but I ADC and on the rare occasion I miss click and phuck up my kiting.

I haven't played much ranked but I generally find I get 4 man ganked bot a lot and end up getting screwed over because of it. I don't CS that well, as I normally go for kills or to stop their ADC from csing (normally win lane, but then even a slightly fed mid or top will wreck me). Also i find i stop cs'ing as much later on and instead focus on team fighting once I've got my 3 main items (e.g. IE, phantom dancer, last whisper). This is also something I probably need to work on. I find I do this on all roles though, so i think it's a bad habit i've picked up.

[canconfirm]

jesus fuk i facepalm whenever i see people being such tryhards in that fail game

LoL is a fukkin joke. ok heres a question for u, why do u play that over dota 2? you know, the superior moba

i play league casually, but i play that over dota 2 because when i played dota 2 i didnt know what the actual fk was going on

hate to do this but read some of the other posts they will answer your questions

but some other tips not mentioned that can help you

- right click
- do the bot game and get or try perfect cs or how fast till 100cs
- job as adc is to never really 1v1 but to attack and meltdown anyone closest to you asap
- i think you will need to learn positioning that may help you
i.e. in team fights stay behind the team or even come in a little late or hide yourself,
have a good support or someone to peele for you if you're targeted a lot

[sheepgonnasheep]

LOL @ LoL there is no denying in the game. how fukkin ezmode can this game get?

dota 2 > this piece of chit




and only reason it has a bigger scene than dota is cuz this game is ezmode and appeals to the skillless casuals. nothing to be proud of, still a ezmode chit game lololol

[MainWHM]

why do casuals insist on ruining gaming for the rest of us

[Jaccogo]

yeah, i hug the side too was curious if there was a certain way of warding I didn't know about

another question: if I want to be in diamond 1 should I expect myself to have perfect cs ever? 95%? I'm not sure just how perfect is standard in high elo. I'm in platinum right now and wondering what might help me get into diamond.

not so much as individual champion mechanics, but tons of map awareness, plenty of warding, timed objectives, and positioning during team fights
