TFF League of Legends Ranked Team

[darthturtle]

Instructions for playing Ezreal in a mirror matchup:

1. When the other guy pops his barrier, pop your own barrier.

2. Aim your ult to miss and watch next level jukes go entirely wrong =P

By the by, if I'm not on LoL for whatever reason, feel free to send me a call over Skype. I usually try to keep it up.

(And there's no guarantee I'll hear the normal Skype message tone.)

 

[violinmana]

Well, we're ranked in 3s now. Bronze III - Soraka's Dragons.

 

[blabla1994]

In other news. Unless something unexpected happens, I should be getting a new computer soon...ish.

So the days of waiting 50 seconds past the loading screen for me to do anything are now (probably) numbered.

 

[wingsofeagle]

50 seconds? You must get a lot of toaster and hamster jokes. =p

 

[violinmana]

Yes. Yes he does.

 

[blabla1994]

If at some point in time and space the collective human unconsciousness has conceived of a joke relating to less then speedy computing. I have heard it.

 

[violinmana]

It takes him 5 minutes to load a game. Five. Minutes.

Ignite Exhaust x 3 ? XD

Where's your jungler?

Had a splurge of TT recently too. Too bad I'm losing 1/3 of my team to a month long vacation...

 

[Archanon]

It's TT. Smite is inefficient because the only thing it's useful on is Ebonmaw. I just went around jungling without it.

Also, we all took Exhaust/Ignite because Exhaust counters Trynd and Aatrox and hurts Akali and Ignite counters all three of them.

 

[wingsofeagle]

Hm... I dunno about that. Ebonmaw is actually the least useful benefit for taking Smite. Main purpose for smite is to speed up first clear and keep hp a bit higher for invade and gank at lvl 2 and 3.

 

[violinmana]

Frankly, we'll get the summoner spells based on what the enemy team comp is. That team was seriously just asking for a triple Ignite/Exhaust combo.

 

[Archanon]

...in /Twisted Treeline/?

To be fair I have no idea how jungling in TT is supposed to work. I just ran around and killed creeps. It seems to work.

 

[violinmana]

TT seems to be more like "hey, let's kill creeps after pushing to their tower, and then randomly group up and gank their jungle!"

 

[Skelethin]

color me interested.

I'll try to remember to add people when i get home from work.

Hmm... jungling in TT is the same as jungling in SR in its core concepts: balancing farming, ganking and invading. The differences is that due to a smaller map size (and layout), the effect of team coordination/timing and champs with good sustain is more evident.

For example, if you have a jungler with strong sustain and invade, then you want your lanes to push out early so they can support the invade. Also, anytime we run into a team that jungles without smite, our jungler can invade with impunity cuz of level and hp difference.

Of course, if you have solid coordination and took 3ignite3exhaust, then you *could* try and counter any invades by straight up all in-ing.

But then the other team could just fast clear, heal and then invade after taking their altar at full hp.

Anyways, lots of different strats and stuff. More I play TT, the more I like it. Mainly cuz the value of coordination and teamwork is a lot more evident then SR (and easier to find 2 teammates then 4).

 

[violinmana]

I think that for our next ranked game, we should all take Smite/Exhaust. It'd be awesome.

 

[wingsofeagle]

Fun part with TT is there's lots of things to try.

SmiteExhaustx3... hmmmm. That feels like a farm strat. Fast clear jungle, with one/two smites. Push out waves, invade with intention of only stealing and exhausting when they come gank. Try for lvl/gold advantage and win somewhere in mid game. Risky though. =p

 

[violinmana]

Also, we tend to win when we don't have an actual plan.
[hr]
Make it up ON THE FLY while banning and selecting champs. XD

 

[darthturtle]

Next time, instead of banning lee/kayle/singed, we should just play lee/kayle/singed.

 

[blabla1994]

We should just become a baseball team.

With our pitchers, no one would ever beat us. >_>

 

[violinmana]

That's it. I'm playing Garen for TT from now on.

 

[violinmana]

And here's a win that I was not a part of.

 

[violinmana]

So, we are officially ranked in 5s as...

BRONZE V. HELL YEAH!
