Alice Moonflowyr Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Master one role, but make sure you can perform on the others. For example, I consider myself a jungle main. It's the role I always try to get first, and 9 times out of 10 I perform on that one role, usually quite well. BUT, I can still quite easily go toplane with Nasus, Jax, or Gnar. I can go midlane with Twisted Fate, Karthus, or Katarina. I can go ADC on Ezreal, Twitch, or Varus. I can support with Morgana, Thresh, or Zyra. I don't main any of the other roles, but on those specific champions I can perform the role well enough to contribute to the team. But I'm most at home in the jungle, with a pretty diverse champion pool and I'm far more aware of things in the jungle, like how much damage I can do, when I do that damage. Where the best places to gank are on which champions, and how pushed can the lane be for me to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 So far all I've got is top with Garen/Malphite and mid with Karthus. Once I get Hecarim I'll have a jungle champ, but until then I'll also practice jungling in Smite. Got a Triple Kill today with Karthus' ult. I'm getting closer to the penta dream.

Alice Moonflowyr Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 You can jungle Malphite if you wanted to. It works. Your ganks are totally ineffective until level 6 unless the enemy is literally putting their face in your tower, but Malphite jungle is definitely a thing.

Brinolovania Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I think maining a role is the way to go. ...not that I do that, given that I say I main mid, yet I have an effective champion pool of 1, and play Leona support as my go-to second pick. Whatever, don't do what I do. Or do what I do, and jump on the Galio freelo train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Something I like about Garen is that the higher level I get, the less likely it seems that someone picks him before I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I think it's fine to main a role, but you should have some skill in the other roles as well. I can do top, mid, or ADC/Support fine. But I simply don't have the ability to be an efficient jungler. But hey, 4 outta 5 ain't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amazing Avian Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Like I said, I main jungle. I can do everything okay, but ideally, I would only play jungle in ranked. I do feel like I have a fairly small champ pool for it though with maybe like 5 or 6 champs for it, none of their names being Kha'Zix, Elise, or Lee Sin. Please, don't make me Lee Sin ever. I'll cry.

Pyur Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 It's just that I play every role fairly well, and the only champion in the game I don't play is Malphite. So I dunno. I think I'll just be the very first "Fill or AFK" guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Moonflowyr Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 My jungle champion pool is actually really extensive. Just off the top of my head I play Shaco (AP and AD), Nocturne, Twitch, Xin Zhao, Jarvan, Warwick, Vi, Wukong, Zac, Zed, Malphite, Nautilus, Rengar, Diana, Aatrox, Cho'Gath, Nasus, Mundo, Fiddlesticks, Hecarim, Jax, Rammus, Skarner, Udyr, Tryndamere, Trundle, and Yorick.

Tentacruel Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Actually, should I really not harass with Q as Katarina? It made sense to me considering she doesn't have mana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amazing Avian Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Team YCM, we must assemble later and do our provisionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyur Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm sad that I decayed into Gold V before they removed the decay for Gold and Silver, but I'm totally ok with it. All I want are the rewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHN. Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Going back to Kat, DFG is perfectly fine... You either rush Haunting Guise/DFG/Zhonya's based on team comps then straight into Sorcs. No one really stacks MR early so abyssal isn't a good rush.

Pyur Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 If you're against AP in lane and they have an AP top/jungle, Abyssal isn't bad to rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHN. Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 AP top doesn't really affect you early game and most people don't itemize against jungle unless they are very fed. Even if you are vs an AP lane, Haunting Guise offers enough health to survive lane which is all you need, and still gives flat magic pen if they start building MR early, or if you are getting bursted easily/targeted go Zhonya's. Abyssal is still an ok item on Kat just there are better items to get first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyur Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I always always always build Haunting Guise first on Kat, alongside boots, but I think that rushing Abyssal after that isn't a bad idea if the other team has more than one AP champ, especially if you start having Dragon fights or jungle skirmishes. If that isn't the case, then I always goes for Zhonya's into Deathcap, then build whatever I need for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah, we really should go play provisionals some time. Actually, can you even do that inbetween seasons? How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 There's a preseason period that has it's own ladder. You don't get rewards or anything, but I think the mmr does affect your placements for the actual season after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Might as well get some practice in early. Although I don't think we should be too serious, it probably would make sense for us to play roles were good at. I know top is by far my best role as of now. Gotta practice others more. I still only have <150 wins in normals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyur Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 The trick is to never take it very seriously, if at all Win more Rage less I mean yeah, play to win of course Just remember, shit happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'm available to play pretty much whenever on weekends, and also on most weekday evenings (although I always duo with Gusto in the evening, so I won't play then unless there's room for both of us). As for what I can play...Galio. Lots and lots and lots of Galio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
