Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 2:43 pmYeah, anything that's not SR has huge balancing issues. It's kinda impossible to balance the game across multiple maps and game modes.
EDIT: Then again, I'm used to horribly one-sided matches. No amount of balancing can fix the toxic community's effect on gameplay, on SR and outside.

It's so boring. The game is faster but it loses the strategy element that SR has. Jungling is rendered useless by roaming, since the map is so small that you can just walk from a lane to the other without anyone noticing in time. There also doesn't really seem to be a meta, which I dislike.
No strategy? No my friend, not at all. Jungling is the meta actually, but newer people to the map do not seem to think it is a good idea. The point of jungling on TT is to give two laners solo exp and gold while keeping a smite for Vilemaw, and having a jungle keeps a bit of map pressure up that limits aggression to an extent since laners can not go all in without at least some fear of a jungler coming out from the fog of war. If people are not noticing a roam, then someone should have pinged MIA - same as SR. The lanes are smaller, so retreating back to safety is just as quick as the roam - if not quicker. As for the meta, the general set up is one top, one jungle, and one bot. Normally people want a team that has someone beefy, someone with a lot of magic damage, and then someone with high physical damage. If either of the two main damage dealers can get beefy, then that is nice, and your tank can bring some damage too - so juggernauts, J4, and Mao are pretty good. The squishiest of the two solo laners goes bot since the distance between the two opposing first towers is shorter, so it is safer for them to be in. The other goes top. Junglers in TT want to have decent early ganks that are purely off of abilities, so you will see stuff like Rek'Sai, J4, Mao, Lee, Olaf, Zac, Panth, and Voli. Mao, J4, and Rek'Sai also have kits that offer vision, which makes them very valuable in a map without wards. Skirmishing in TT is where the fun happens and is more or less the most important aspect - if you want quick practice for midgame teamfights for SR, then playing some TT may be helpful. Fights can be made of off ganks, alters, or Vilemaw. A lot of people underestimate/overestimate the importance of alters, and I have seen a good amount of people who think that alters are worth dying for. They really are not - at least not anymore. They used to grant % AD and AP, but now it is just 10% ms for one and the ms plus a 1% max health heal on minion or monster kill A lot of ADC's are not played that much since the map does not have the best AD items stat wise, and often they do not have as much room to work with as SR, but you may see an Ez or Jhin. Jhin in particular is pretty strong because you can start brawler's glove with a long sword and two pots, which gives him some great damage with an early fourth shot. His kit is also pretty strong because of the map - his q has good base damage, his w and give him strong pressure and can allow him to simply walk to the health relic and root the top laner, and then his ult covers a decent amount of the map and the damage is really good. Just like SR, the goal is to win in lane or go even, win fights, push waves, get objectives, then go for the win. Alters and Vilemaw help you get fights which allows you to do what you need to win, and Vile buffs minions. I could go on, but at this point I think you get the gist of it.
Edit: Forgot to mention Graves in ADC's worth playing. So many walls to get the instant Q proc on, and he can handle people getting on him probably better than any other ADC.
Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 8:45 pmMy only issue with TT, is that it's so sparsely played, I either play against or get bots on my team.
Posted: Wed May 25, 2016 12:53 am15-2-8, and this fucking game has the gall to give me an A+. What a load.

That's why they removed Dominion. The issues were even worse there.
I guess I just don't see the fun in it. I really like the state of SR, always did, so I don't really need other modes. I like thing I'm used to.
Actually, regarding that, I had this awesome game where I was playing a champion I main, and the enemy team surrendered when I thought we were, like, 8 minutes in. Turns out it was the 23rd minute or so. The thing that made it a fun game was that it was so mundane and relaxing for a League game that it had the opposite effect on me: I had way too much fun to realize how much time had passed. I like that.
I wish I could have more games where the early game extends into the 20th minute or more, where barely any kills are made. Every single patch seems to speed the game up more and more...

I really understand what you mean when you say that. When I play ADC on SR, I find simply farming until I have four items to be rather enjoyable. I mean there is just something really relaxing in CS'ing, and it is something that I may try to do in a game to sort of reset my mind. After farming, then I can transition into teamfighting where I can trust my meatshi- I mean team mates to absorb damage while I hammer off from my sweet, sweet 650 range on Cait. That is rather fun when I am playing ADC, but on TT, the brawly nature of it is rather exciting and can make for a very nice change of pace.

I love how the full tank Rammus did the most damage on their team and the second most in game. But your Zilean's build is just... disgusting, even for normals, like it has no redeeming features. Even the items he had before the final build were still bad. I do not entirely get why Quinn went Iceborn either, and I really do not like Kog's gunblade. At least your WW understood that following the recommended build can be a good idea.
