>using AP shaco

you are the real cancer

my build is tiamat-greaves-dusk-IE-ER-Stormrazor (or GA) and finish Rav hydra so it's crit shaco with some lifesteal + dusk burst

sometime lethality shaco when i get really early leads like tiamat into greaves then duskblade trinity force ghostblade and GA and then the blue (tank) hydra to finish to get earlier spikes with dusk tri than IE+ER and then instapop any adc regardless of build with ghostblade completion and complete the tank hydra to supplement the trinifity force stats a bit more

i also play cinderhulk sunfire cape liandries shaco so i guess it can count as AP but it's really tanko isn't it, making use of the passive and not the stats similar to gankplank does due to his ulti and liandries synergy

this is third party called Blitz, i use it to track avg CSing and stuff (hasin-game overlay so I can know in game when I'm on par with my goal) and since I'm a Shaco one-trick I use their importable item builds for Plat+ and Runes so I don't have to google them in lobby when I'm forced onto another pick - it's legal and encouraged by Riot

there's also a lot of matchup tips that I really value

I know enough about champions to know what ability to max against what matchup now but before it was super helpful to have a mini-champ guide pop up to give highest WR runes for situation and item build, selecting pro builds if you wish and automatically doing relevant item pages and show skill order. matchup strong and weak points to get a gameplan.

took me 30 minutes in practice tool with Ashe and I've won lane with 50CS and 2 kills on average at 15min 7 games in a row, first timing her today because I saw LPL playing her meaning she's strong into the meta and I got a skin for her, only having maybe 50-60 Tristana games total as my only bot lane games played since so I'd say it works really well for me when it comes to learning

I'm also smurfing so there's that - but I'm basically a silver player on anything but Shaco mechanically with Plat+ macro but ADC is very different. I pick Vayne top and solo win the game at 15 but in botlane you need to rely on your team for 20min before you can do something of value and that's new to me - worked every game so far but scaling off of gold rather than levels is something I'm used to with Shaco and my farm heavy playstyle (8CS/M at 20 avg in JG, 7,4@15 in lane) fits pretty well. 

Hawkshot is such an OP ability too man, push the wave in and you can literally view every enemy jungle camp with one ability to 100% know where their jungler is, even if you don't see him the amount of places left to be are so slim that they are basically guaranteed

Considering I was using friends SHIT PC at an afterparty doing this run I’d say it was pretty fkn good

Looks pretty, but I'm wary that the hilltop village are might be too strong. There are enough alternate paths (and the map is bigger) so hopefully it won't end up like Mines where rushing and controlling the hill in the first 30 seconds completely strangles the opposing team.

Positions with alternate routes mean risks too, you can't cover all of them so that leaves them vulnerable

North still the area to play in basically everything unless you're very mobile IMO, I'll still be going north in PTA like I did in Leo 1 when the map was still in the game

I have fond memories of going north and 2 WTF E100s peek out and delete the entire flank.

Plus I have a feeling that the top marks are done in a three man platoon where the two others really do everything to either get the Chieftain the damage or the spotting.

It might be easier to drive nails through your desk with your forehead. More fun too. Its the hardest thing to do in the game right now. Good luck.

Tier 8 one next 

Pride month tank

You say that but I actually like Songkran. I prefer the Sakura Storm one though because pink is the manliest color.

@ZXrage: that's not pink, more like magenta! That said, it does look pretty nice, whatever colour it is.

mash WASD. congrats you win

Muscles and DarkNinja (2 of the best EBR players on NA) regularly 1v1 each other in training rooms, maybe you could find a better EBR player to spam 1v1s against? 

I'm being just horrible in the tier X one... I cannot hit anything, and it's so unwieldy when you are not driving around yoloing.

Normal one handed mortals play arty.

@kolni
Wish you a speedy recovery, it will most likely be fine, been through quite a few broken bones, and they usually heal up pretty well.
Just remember to do your physio as soon as possible, do not skip this, that's the most important factor in recovering from stuff like that.

Did you break only the bones in your hand, or did you fuck up your wrist too?

Shit man, that sucks. Sometimes there are times in life where it seems like the universe is actively digging nuggets out of its cosmic ass and flinging them at you as you walk around.

Here's hoping for a full recovery.  Just follow the doctors and therapists direction to the letter.

I shattered my elbow playing ice hockey (4 plates 26 screws) on my dominate arm almost a year ago.  Lost a lot of mobility and I managed to play again, but then again i'm a plateaued shitter.

I stay away from meds in general and scary meds in particular.  EMS offered me Morphine or Fentanyl for the plane ride.  I opted for morphine but it made me made me nautious.  The doctor prescribed Oxycotin for recovery.  I half filled the script and took them occationally to sleep (and returned more than half) otherwise played the stoic.  Honestly, in my case broken ribs were much more uncomfortable. 

good thing himmelsdorf is the best map in the game, amirite

there's a lower lower plate that's autobounce

I've been shooting gold into the weird bit under the turret that's circular whenever 60TPs try angling their hull and it seems to work.

it is just not impossible that the exact some spots and angle just actually behave different in IDENTICAL SITUATIONS

Well, you're not wrong as written, even if we know you meant "it is just not possible"... that being said, I'm going to dispute this claim simply because of the inherent ridiculousness that is +/- 25% RNG on penetration values.

Since u can get it for bonds I bet the reqs must have dropped

climbed at a normal pace per game so not so sure actually

certainly dropped in since 2018 days of course but marks don't gradually jump on a per game basis, it corrects right after a single game

Damn. I'm a t8 in Jap line and T9 in Swe. Now you make me question wanting to go for Kawaii tanks

STB-1 is a better tank, don't worry.

The UDES 15/16 is just kinda fun because of its alpha.

yeah it's super weird because i can hear the crit+pen sound on targets that i actually bounced (that went dark with shell mid-air), really messing with the numberkeeping sometimes

heat round gets the sharp apcr sound of crit+pen when shell is fired mid-air too so i think it just might be local sound file issues

i also don't use the siege much at all, playing it as a leo pta with better gun dep pretty much and use the alpha to win out when u don't have freefarms

@kolni is the tank as good as the PTA and Standard B?

above standard b but below pta

it's an E6 at tier 9.. but good and well balanced

you kinda have to play it perfectly for it to like.. work at all in the first place it seems, you can't have attention directed towards you, you just play and quietly heatspam your way into making their push into you not so good anymore 

if you get spotted people just pay too much attention to you to let farm them for free, so i track meme ppl every game, nobody beats you in a straight up DPM war, and nobody beats your 6s+ 360 rather than 320 alpha combo when it comes to permatracking -> just do it and use a corner to make them unable to shoot you back,  dgaf about arty and just farm down whatever's free until the game opens up and starts letting you make choices that aren't just answers to the enemy gameplan, something that generally won't happen naturally in this tank

either people are going to try and combat you or not, and it just feels that way in this tank to the extreme - some times this tank is so broken i can't believe it as you genuinely can outmaneuver tier 10s on flat ground in your TIER 9 and win DPM fights even with first strike on the enemy side and a tier 10 HP pool against you - but then there's the other side of it which is where you just can't commit anywhere without risking your game on it or where your team won't let you farm because you made the call of hanging further back etc. this is by far the most passive medium in the game i think

360 alpha lines up really nicely with the tier 10 medium tank HP pools too so you get pretty confident in one tier 9 against one tier 10 situation, and some pretty insane carry pants here and there

that 1900 avg xp over 5 games...

had a 2,1k XP Leo PTA avg over 9 games  

watched some, did u play too?

vents on almost everythihg

ivents + vents directive then? how'd you rank directives in general? 

if gun could use accuracy buff, always vents, esp for autoloaders

if gun needs bloom buff - vstab directive (this one FEELS the absolute most)

a 907 with ioptics instead of ivents and then a vstab directive handles similarly to a gun-stacked 907 with a slower reload

type 61, progettos and high performance guns can afford to run rammer, otherwise vents on everything

Interesting to watch you play.

I'm starting to think everything you touch will get nerfed.

lost

you should have done more
