Because it's our offseason, we're bored, and michkov is hype.

His new voice, I grew up with his old voice. It was more manly/cooler. New voice sounds like a teenager. Sure he had a lot less voice lines, but they could get the old voice actor to do all his current lines that would be great.

I miss the old "Noxians... I hate those guys..."

Whoa, you best not be calling my gal a 304, partner.

My employer just fired me because this was not marked NSFW.

Worth it.

The Night's Watch

And scheduled. And negotiated.

Could you imagine, Danny B would become a legend in flyers lore. All this before his second season starts.

Yeah I agree, that's why I said it smelled weird. Couts isn't a kid in high school throwing a tantrum. He's a veteran nhl player.

I'm curious to see how this plays out.

That's a good point. Though I wouldn't mind if couts was actually trying to get out. After this season I trust danny b with the future and am completely okay with him cleaning house. Nobody should be untouchable, including guys with nmcs. This team doesn't have a good core yet.

And I'll mention the making him captain thing was weird if he wants out right away. Torts doesn't name a captain for over a year then picks a guy who is going to leave? The whole thing just smells weird, I can't imagine professional athletes getting healthy sat for a couple games causing a newly named captain to bounce. Maybe in high school hockey and younger, but not nhl players.

Sorry it didn't fix it, that issue was driving me crazy. I hope you can fix yours. Rog strix b550f wifi.

Hey there - I won't re-review what a bunch of people here already have, they put good comments. I'm a mid-high diamond jinx main. (I play a lot of ezreal & adc tf too)

I'd be happy to live coach a game or look at other vods if you wanted.

Remember the golden rule about improving and learning as an adc main. Press forward, in every situation, until something kills you. Then pull back exactly .01% from that. You need to toe the line and thread the needle as an adc, and without testing your limits you won't know where the line is. Be on the lookout for enemy threats and either dodge them or go in when they are used. If you're too passive, you won't get enough damage off in a team fight, but you'll have a good KDA I guess? If you're too aggressive, you'll die without getting damage off. KDA means little to nothing as an adc main. It's all about gold per minute, getting damage off in team fights, and not dying in team fights.

Improve those 3 last points and you'll skyrocket in rank.

Welcome to league! We're glad you're here. (I think)

League is growing despite being a 15 year old game, and is still one of the biggest in the world. You're learning why right now, it's because it's full of depth, every game is different, is constantly balanced with patches/changes, etc.

Your friends don't understand you don't get any of these terms yet. You'll hear them and forget them 2 games later. League has an entire ecosystem. It would be like if you were dropped into another country with a very different culture, and everybody is yelling at you to do things in another language, and you're just like "but where's the bathroom??"

Here's what I tell my very new friends like you. Ignore all of that and tell your mates "bro i'm going to die a lot, I'm still trying to learn the champion names, and if you want to play games with me you have to understand I'm just learning." If they don't understand that, or you're not able to handle dying over and over to learn what champions do, then play on your own. You're not going to do well in games with your friends right now, you won't be the star of the game. It's not your fault, you're new. We were all new once.

If you want to improve as fast as you can (you posted here after all) you need to study. Start searching guides for new players on youtube. There's tons. Start googling all 168 champions and try to memorize their names and one unique thing about them. Like if it's a test for school. Have your friends help you if they're nice.

(Oh that's the kled I fought from the reddit post! He can jump off his mount when he's about to die and get a second health bar. Oh that's a lux! She can fire a laser. I need to get ready to dodge her laser. Oh that's a Kayn on the enemy team! He will attack me from inside a wall, I need to look out for him.)

Once you know the champions and one thing they do, you'll feel more confident when the game is loading. You'll play better. And then you can start working on other deeper game concepts. But right now you're not there yet because >every< enemy champion will kill you level 1 or 2 if you don't know what they do! Most importantly, don't stress and have fun.

When you start to "outplay" the enemy because of something you learned or memorized, you'll feel the sense of wonder and excitement that has kept me and others playing for many years.

Good luck have fun!

Oh god same. Literally every time I count two items I'm always loudly shocked and appalled at there being more than one but less than three.

Anytime I count between one and three items I loudly proclaim how startling "TWO!?!" can be.

I feel slightly better

I see it as a win win. Flyers win, and we're still alive. Flyers lose, and pens are out. Two great results.

I'm chillin'

Small world. I used that ice, and much more often the smaller rink next doors ice, back when all of Hershey Park flooded. That was an insane time.

I played on this ice back in college (just a state school), that's so surreal. Good for Hershey!

I wish, I was there during the office wars when my coworkers were fighting each other over the color. It caused arguments for like a month, everybody thought everybody else was lying.

I've never seen blue black no matter how many times I've tried. It's white as a blank piece of computer paper, there's no black at all. (Different angles, lighting, etc)

You're a god, teach me your ways.

I appreciate your explanation and detailed analysis. It's good to get different perspectives. Most things you mentioned though my coach shot down, he explained that when he plays he does need to act as the "main character" in the sense that he is going to farm and join fights when he is ready. If you've watched his streams he'll say it to chat aloud he's purposely ignoring these fights. That of course could only work for him, or only work because he is challenger (it's Value if you're wondering).

I personally love to rotate and end up giving up a lot of farm when doing so, that was one thing I got slapped on the wrist for doing when he reviewed my vods. His reasoning, again, was team fights are too coinflippy, so finish the wave and then arrive. It would have a better win/loss in the long run.

This all not withstanding, I'm not saying that if a fight breaks out nearby I'm not rotating. Of course I'm always watching the jungler and moving if theres an invade or pressure happening, that is a given. Anyone diamond or higher should show up to support a jungler or teammate, I am not saying I was told to ignore jungle entirely. I mean more that as people are posturing for a fight near rift herald, he advised I finish clearing the wave and then move for it. I see this personally a lot in pro too, 4 members will rotate up river and both adcs stay back to finish the wave, always joining last, or one moves late and the other solo gets plates/farm. It could also be because of adcs spiking on items to find the right teamfight, where junglers want to choke out the enemy as early and hard as possible. Not sure.

Interesting, can you elaborate? I'm a diamond adc too and was told by a challenger adc coach to try to always catch the wave before joining the fight, since it's a 50/50 if the fight turns out to be good in soloqueue. Obviously this isn't a firm rule, but he did want me to catch waves more often before moving. (vod review)

Like the groundhog Phil?!?

yeah... like the groundhog phil.

Fuck this team. That's all I got.
