What a frustrating game...

https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends ... ?tab=stats

Nasus refused to group up. All he had to do, was dance at the front, get the entire enemy team to attack him (and they WOULD have) and we would have won. With the amount of gold he had from earlier splits he could have held on long enough for the rest of us to blast their team apart.

Instead, he insisted on playing like a Tryndamere and splitting all game until we lost.

Contrary to popular belief, Nasus CAN TEAMFIGHT at this elo! You can win games by simply baiting people into attacking you.

So runaans kind of works on bard. The bolts gain the extra damage from the meeps but not the strike through of the slow
Hm
Ap attack speed time

I'm having some under-performance issues with Jinx despite the Crit Buffs.

For some reason I deal out way more damage when playing Jhin or Ashe (and they are not optimised for damage).

I'm sure its just a matter of getting used to the Jinx play style but for whatever reason, the damage output isn't that great. I'm having trouble utilising the champion's power correctly.

Good positioning and use of Q is key. Try and keep its AS PowPow stacks up by attacking nearby creeps, then switch to the rockets for damage against Champions. The first stack consumed when switching is twice as potent, so it can be an alright poke.
Runaans is really good because her rockets also do AOE, so if you target enemies that are grouped up, you can get up to three hits per champion, depending on how many of them there are. The rocket that hits them, and the AOE from the other two that Runaans fires. It also builds her stacks quicker.

Hmmm... makes sense

I'm going to try a bit more, keeping these tips in mind but if it doesn't work out, I think I've always found my "signature" ADCs in Twitch and Jhin.

I particularly enjoy playing Jhin recently because every since the Crit buffs with just IE and a Zeal it feels like his 4th shot does a TON of damage. He's really starting to feel like a very dangerous champion to play again...

Can someone explain to me why it seems that “everyone” (and by “everyone” I mean most of low elo) is just so scared of Zed?

How did Zed of all champions get such a Lord Voldemort fear factor????

He’s not THaT powerful right? But so many people are scared. Why? Is he just intimidating or...

It seems like if one champion would get the Kingslayer/God of Swordsmen reputation (while being a bit overrated), it would be Zed

He teleports around, has no mama, and can kill you fast if you mess up but much of his damage is tied to an Ult with back-loaded damage (which honestly, is a pretty big disadvantage)

Why are people not scared of Leblanc (a way more reliable in and out killer) or Vladimir (a manaless, infinite healing AOE nuker)

Why is Zed such a famous name?

[Alvecia]

Funny you should mention that actually, Patch 9.4 shifted some of the power from his Ult to his other abilities.

Ah the Q buffs and W decreased CD?

It should help him a lot.

Do you play Zed?

My Zed play is pretty bad recently; couldn’t get back into it (way more used to Leblanc now)

No, funnily enough, I tend to go anywhere but mid I mostly fill. Support primarily, ADC/Jungle in a pinch.
Rarely top, too many solo champs are strong right now for that to ever be lacking someone who wants to play it.

No feeling is quite as fun as totally reeving a first time Zed.

Oh, he got SO tilted in all-chat. Loved it.

You should have typed in all chat:

Zed. YOU WANNA PLAY TOO? IT’LL BE FUN!

Yeah boy, guess who's one checkpoint from getting back to Honor level 2? This guy!

You have been (to use Tyler 1 terminology) reformed?

Seems that way...course I've been reformed once before, and that was way back on account #1. But this time it's gonna stick.

So anyone been following this Vaevictis story? You got this Russian LoL team that after qualifying for tournament play, swapped their entire team for five women in a pretty obvious marketing stunt.

And since the team is all female, Riot apparently thinks they need constant protection. This team called ROX bans 5 supports, and Riot rushes in with a warning claiming that's somehow gender discrimination. And this is after this team called Vega Squadron got warning for “intentionally stretching out the match" against them in a 52-2 blowout.

Riot, if you want more women to play your game, this white knight stuff is the wrong way to do it.

Good to know Rito's got their priorities straight

Supports are for girls?

Really?

apparently people check in Normals on how many mastery points you have on the champ you're playing

how do they do this?

On the new loading screen you can click on the portrait of the other players and it will show you their mastery points on that champion. not sure if it's been rolled out to every server yet.

Probably not in the SEA Servers, which gets updates already released for months, and whose customer service is just an empty office building occasionally visited.
