Cruzer bossing with Lee Sin

Found on reddit, noticed it was Cruzer. Pretty slick moves.

i dunno. there are 80+ chars in this game.

and ur point is that u must not firstpick a champ that has ONE bad matchup?

i do not believe in hard counters in this game, there are imo only bad/good matchup and very rarely extremely good/terrible ones. and unless ur 2k+ there are easier leaks to fix imo like lasthitting, map awareness etc

I have a hard time seeing Riot banning a player cause lack of skills or teamplay.
No idea lol.

1st ranked game at my ELO,worst than ever,not a single ward bought again and this time I didn't buy any just to see if someone would buy one (obv no).
No jungler,no one put a step in the jungle b4 lvl 6/8,turets died attacked by minions,etc...
I hope I didn't fk up my placement matches so badly that now I'm stuck with these kind of team forever.

psur captain banned only 1 champion,brand.
go figure

edit:also no one spoke in draft.not a word except me..

I gave the game a shot. Didn't really grab me but I can see why it's popular for some. But another example of a game where it feels like you have to get your wallet out to do battle.

Money doesn't give you any competitive advantage in this game. You obviously missed something or made some wrong assumptions.

You can play this game for free forever and you'll end up with all the stuff available in it eventually through earning points (besides skins but they're purely cosmetic). It's gonna take a while though.

If you do play it a lot you'll probably end up paying 50-100 bucks for it to get faster access to features and characters but that's true of any other normal game as well. SC2 for example is $60 and that's just the first part. Any fan will end up buying all 3 episodes and spend $180 on it.

1) ryze v. xerath is not a "bad" matchup. it is awful.
2) but #1 isn't even that annoying. when you pick ryze and you're completely oblivious to the fact that he gets buttraped by like 3 casters (xerath being one of the worst), that's ridiculous.
3) #2 wouldn't be so bad if the guy was really good with ryze. but he wasn't.

People like it cause they can change their screen name and player icon as much as they like.

Likely that's the case. My point was that it felt like higher price heroes felt out of reach without lots of hours of play or a purchase. I wouldn't like having my hat handed to me by someone with a bigger wallet than I. But I only gave it a few hours so I could be mistaken.

More expensive doesn't necesarrily mean they are a better champ. There are some very good older charachters available. Being business they prob have the more popular champs listed at higher prices so price may not always reflect utility or w/e. Powerfull champs like Tryndamere for example are very affordable or within reach with minimal time investment.
The fact that the game promotes a equall playing field (offering gfood champs at low prices etc) where money =/= power is probably a major part of their success. U dont have to open the wallet unless u really want to. Im sure there re alot of cheaper solid champs.
Their fpp's are Ip's and the rewards program is not weighted at all towards those who have spent the most money or w/e but rather the time in game. I think thats whats so great about the game. It tries to balace everything to keep new player in and older player intersetd (new champs etc)
As far as gaining an advantage in game, Skill is what will set u apart. Practice and maybe study is what would be required to improve and hand it to those people opened their wallets for Victor(6300 ip)

its sort of just variety, there is a top tier hero for every single role below 1350ip. Sometimes they release or balance a hero so hes godmode like shaco this patch or old graves/orianna but in ranked play they would get banned so you are not really at a disadvantage.

And don't forget that every week there's a free rotation of champions. In that rotation are usually a 2 or more expensive ones.

some of the frustration you may be feeling is the fact that since this is a free game the people you play with in your first games are often playing on alt accounts

and yes I agree with you in the fact this game is a hell of a grind to get to 30 especially if you haven't played dota/hon before

Isn't this statement a little too ironic coming from a pokerstars rep?

you'll need all the practice and grind you'll get if you want to play well at 30 though

Crit damage is a terrible stat to rune for.

Runes mostly help your laning phase. During laning you will have 4% crit usually, from masteries. Having your crits do 20% more damage is ****ty because they happen so infrequently. You are much better off getting Arpen or AD.
