Sounds like an annoying game. Mute may have helped a bit.

Any reason you built TF and not IBG? I find TF is just so expensive.
T-Hydra is enough offense for most games.

I think TF is just flat better than IBG on Trundle in most situations, because I think that offense is better than defense in most situations on Trundle for a couple reasons- you get huge defensive power from your ult, which is diminished greatly if you've already built a lot of defensive items. Also, Trundle is a fighter with very little cc, so to be relevant you have to do damage. I mean, you do need some defensive items, but I think in general people build Trundle too defensively. My standard build is Tabis/Mercs, Hydra (ravenous almost always- I built titanic all last season but I think that ravenous is better now because it synergizes better with the new fervor), Deadmans or Visage next depending on the opposing team, TF, whichever of Deadmans/Visage that I haven't already built, and then a few different items potentially as a 6th item (Bork, GA, zzrot, Randuins).

-Edit-

Also, re: the last game- yea, if there had been bitching during most of the game I would have just muted the dude as I usually do, but he didn't say anything until the game was almost over already so I didn't bother. But yea, the mute button is definitely the way to go with people that bitch in game.

I ****ing loath playing with smurfs. Whats fun about some Lee sin with 500 games ****ing me in my jungle all game.

Anyone still playing regularly on NA? I think I'm going to start playing again.

Lmao

So I take it you're still playing.

I am, not as much as in the Karak glory days but I am still grinding ranked.

Need this one from the HOTS thread too

lolllllllllllllll

Yeah I gave it a try. I will say early impressions is that LoL is a better designed game.

I play ranked on NA a game or two a day usually.
Currently Silver 1. 2-2 in series to crack gold.
I only play Trundle. jg/top and support if I unluckbox into it.
I understand if people don't want to queue with me haha.

Ahh how much I love it, double bomb this ****in piece of **** teemo and the opponent ADC and they both die. I'm like 50 hp and just stand still and this ****in GP who did nothing but being carried all game runs through the shroom and kills us both.

Got promoted to G4 :P just had a good kata game (23 kills) but I played it really poorly since I went too agro couple times (11 deaths). My team was total deadweight but I don't really care. I deserved that loss cause I played it really badly with my lead.

Just had a 16/20/5 Yasuo in 55 mins on my team, 20 ****in deaths. You wanna hear the best part of that game, I was playing ****in Zilean. I can't even count how many times that guy died, he was straight up ******ed, like straight up ******ed. And after I managed to hold for us with double bombs for 20 mins being 12k down, we were on their nexus and don't finish and 10 mins later that fool goes 1 v5 and loses the game.

If you guys haven't tried out Dota2 in a while, you should. It's in a fast-group-push meta and been way more fun that league.

The last time i tried Dota2 the autoattack animations were so slow that it was borderline unplayable for me.

Almost at Diamond MMR, still gold lol.

That downswing sure as hell dragged me down and what a downswing it was.

finally got back to diamond after my year 1/2 break after s4 took awhile

Managed to get another pentakill, it had been a while

don't play at all but Faker is streaming

https://www.twitch.tv/faker

~190k viewers, topped out at like 220k.

how much does this guy make a year in his pro career? i have zero idea, genuinely curious. if he went to streaming full time that's gotta be $3MM/year right? assuming he optimized subs/donations/etc

idk what the curve for viewers to subs/donations even looks like (maybe more viewers = decreasing impact rate for subs)

They said qtpie makes over a million a year and has like on avg prob 20k viewers or something. Not sure exact amounts but thats ad, subs and donations. Unsure on sponsorship etc. Cool link tho thanks.

And YouTube vids

Yeah true good call.
