Also, I also find it very hard to side-step attacks. Sometimes I even anticipate it but I get hit anyways. People tell me I move ''too predictably'' but when I try to move around more erratically I miss CS and end up getting hit almost just as much.

I can do incredible things on a keyboard or with a Playstation control but if you want me to move a character around using a mouse by clicking fast, reflexively and accurately... oh dear...

Due to this, I pretty much can't farm with any reasonable degree of consistency unless I'm playing someone with an ability that helps to farm (such as Annie or Veigar) at the higher eloes (or someone who relies on getting close to the minions to farm like Garen).

Well distance I can't really say, but your base damage and minion health combined with the 5% of AP as auto damage mastery makes it so that your auto damage scales fairly similarly with the minions hp, so whenever the minion health bar gets to a certain point you should be killing it.

Furthermore most ranged APs have built in waveclear so help in CSing, I can't really think of any ranged AP champs without some form of waveclear or farming assist.

Ah I see...

I've been practicing with Vladimir repeatedly and am now getting a bit better at it. Assuming I don't get bullied out of lane (unfortunately that does happen especially when I get matched against an aggressive Riven or Renekton), I can generally get 50+ farm at the 10 minute mark now and without over-pushing.

I am still surprised Vladimir isn't popular. I mean COME ON! You can buy the Marquis skin and play and fight as a Tom Cruise Lestat character! There's just nothing more epic!

I miss that random match where it was Vladimir against Vladimir. Most epic thing ever. It was Marquis Vladimir vs Blood Lord Vladimir. Some SERIOUSLY epic duel, I wish I had recorded it. The blood was flying around everywhere. It was Lestat/Alucard vs Dracula.

Vlad is just kinda...meh. When you've got that many characters to choose from, people tend to pass on the generic vampire.

but his Transfusion attack... its SO satisfying. I love the vicious hungry sucking sound it makes as the red flies towards your character and you get healed.

Also, Marquis Vladimir looks super classy as well. Running around with that coat and those boots as he drains the blood from his enemies.

The other champion that I like to play (but surprisingly isn't popular at level 30) is Annie. The character is so overpowered. You farm very easily with her Q mana refund and you can zone people out in team fights with the threat of your stun.

Flash Tibbers, even if you were out farmed, can instantly win team fights.

The only disadvantage is that her range is kind of short but with an auto-target stun I feel like she's one of the most powerful and easy to play champs out there.

Why isn't Annie more popular?

Posted: **Mon Nov 02, 2015 7:59 pm**

She was a popular support, but got subsequently nerfed out of it (still good against bronzies).

But I like Annie <3.

You wanna play, too? It'll be fun!

Annie not popular? The hell you talking about?

have you seen my bear Tibbers?

well I've seen lots of Lux and Dianas for the last few games. But Annie seems to be missing.

From now on when I play as Vladimir I'm going to play Castlevania theme music in the background. That way, I can pretend I'm Alucard.

Posted: **Mon Nov 02, 2015 10:56 pm**

Uh...Alucard is a good guy. Vlad is...not.

Marquis Vladimir looks like him, in-game from certain angles.

In the rare instances where I get to fight as Marquis Vlad against Blood Lord Vlad its basically Alucard vs Dracula. And I will type Alucard quotes like

''Father... I've come to put an end to this.''

and its the most epic thing ever as Castlevania music plays and we dance around, transfusion-ing against each other.

Posted: **Mon Nov 02, 2015 11:00 pm**

Actually, in most games I simply pretend to be the Tom Cruise vampire character.

But its cool to imagine Alucard fighting alongside a team of the handpicked superheroes and anti-heroes from across the universe...

Probably the best game I've had ever. That says something about my skill.

I have 9 kills over my last 9 games combined. So you're doing better than me.

I find ADCs very hard to play

ADC isn't that hard for me. I like focusing on AP/AD.

Holy shit a League of Legends thread. I'm glad this came up on my sidebar. Thanks for making this Ameri

Hey there guys. Talon main here, used to mid a lot, though I tend to focus on Jungle or Top instead now. And Support if my brother's going ADC.

I haven't played LoL personally but I still really like it. My favorite is Vi.

Vi is pretty good. I remember one weekend I went to a friend's house and played Vi nonstop for like 20 games.

You're welcome.

If I do end up downloading the game I want to main her. Though through my research of the game it appears the void champions are amazing history and all. I'm trollish so if I have a opportunity to use one should I get the game I will.

If you wanna be a troll player, you should play Anivia. You can really mess with your team by using her ice wall.
