Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
I guess I should do that, huh.
I know someone who's regularly available and would team with me, actually, but they're also hugely obnoxious and get all uppity about not being included in every single match, so that's a bit problematic.
Also I am terrible whenever dumb luck doesn't kick in (as you saw, Volatar) and I'd probably just slow everyone down. Not being level 30 and fully runed up doesn't help any, either.
Meanwhile I made a Twitch and Tristana rage through repeated applications of Fear+Drain as Fiddle (and the odd Crowstorm that no one ever seemed to expect). And then I ended up apologizing repeatedly in all-chat for ruining their fun.
I may have a problem.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
You must have been trolled. There is no other rational explanation for such levels of idiocy. The community at it's worst has offered me quite a few challenges to my mental equilibrium, but nothing like this.
Of course knowing you were trolled doesn't do much to alleviate the fact that you were trolled. It's like driving your car off a cliff in that regard.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
A partially runed and masteried and inexperienced player able to respond to voice chat is still preferable to 90% of random pubbies.
I've told you my League story. I played with the level 30's from when I was level 12 onwards. You get better quickly.
Don't put yourself down.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Honestly, the whole thing is so utterly absurd that in hindsight, I'm kind of glad it happened.
By the by, what's the Shaco/Rammus matchup like? I thought it was in Shaco's favour, at a guess, but I trundled into their jungle to steal a second blue and kind of slaughtered him. I also had one level on him and ulted (though I can count the fights where I don't ult as Rammus on about half a hand), which may have been a factor. Regardless, I no longer know what to think.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Hmm. Well, in lane, I think Shaco goes AD, and rammus is all armor, so that's a win for rammus. Plus, Shaco's selling points include being able to get away from ANYTHING, and he can't deceive while you're taunting him... I dunno. My instinct would be to give it to rammus, actually.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
It's in Shaco's favour because Rammus is extremely easy to disrupt at his first clear and Shaco is extremely good at disrupting and do it very safely because of Deceive.
If you were level 6+ and were ahead, it's anyone's game, really. He probably used his early advantage poorly.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
From the Shaco perspective:
Rammus is one of the few characters that, with good prediction, can actually singlehandedly catch you after a decent-to-good Deceive, doubly so if he has Oracles. He's pretty easy to counterjungle, as long as you use your boxes for spotting and not accelerating the camp, as you can disrupt powerballs with them and give yourself time to run. On the other hand, it's pretty easy for him to counterjungle you, since you're going to have problems either fighting him 1v1 or locking him up long enough to get lane support—the second one is more likely though. At low levels where laners don't really help out vs invades, I totally see this going in Rammus's favor. Shaco loses the mobility advantage he has against most junglers, as well as potentially jungle control as well.Writings and music:

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Mario is basically correct on this one. Rammus is a pain to jungle against: you'd better be deceiving over walls (or in strange directions...like back at Rammus) whenever you can, or he WILL catch you with decent prediction skills. He's also likely to win a straight-up duel, so your best bet is, as Mario stated, to have good box placement and use those to get away.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
I got on there earlier, actually.
Then no one said a word and I couldn't figure out how to talk to anyone. Ended up leaving.
Interesting! I was the tank, mind, not the jungler. I just sort of barged in there, found Shaco and he died. That said, yeah, taunt does him zero favours. I didn't have an Oracle's (rarely came up against Shaco so it didn't even register as being a thing), but he did use Deceive. I chased with Powerball in his general direction and, based entirely on a hunch, managed to connect. So that bit was dumb luck.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Ah. Well, it's 1:15 EST, which means it's 10:15 am PST, and that time-zone range (EST-PST) is where the bulk of Mumblers live, so it's a bit early for a high attendance. Many of those on might not actually be at their computers. That said, to talk you should just use your microphone (check the Mumble audio input settings if your speech icon isn't turning red...it might have defaulted to Push-to-Talk).

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
I'm going to disagree here. I frequented both Shaco and Rammus jungles; Rammus has issues of having a very predictable jungle with negative sustain (he *needs* to take damage in order to jungle at all). His dueling isn't that great because it's not hard for Shaco to kite his skillset (you can even stop Powerballs with Jack in the Boxes, and you deal way more damage since, well, most of your skillset is designed to do damage). It's not at all hard for Shaco to catch Rammus at a buff and strike when Rammus' Defensive Ball Curl is down. That, and after level 6, Shaco can outduel pretty much everyone except MAYBE Lee Sin or jungle Pantheon.
It's very believable that you can either start Red, kill it without Smite, do your own blue, kill it with Smite, and then rendez-vous with Rammus while he's doing his red or his small golems and win the fight, or you can do blue, take Rammus' red and ambush him. With Rammus having issues while jungling later in the game, you have way more opportunities to kill him than he does against you.
About the only thing I'd be worried about is that it would take too much time for a Shaco to strike down a Rammus before his team would come to help. Otherwise, Shaco should win this matchup.
And if he invades you? Rammus has enough issues with his own jungle as it stands, he's not strong as an invader pick, he is way more likely to camp a lane; you can block his Powerball by Deceiving in front of him or putting a JitB in front of him, and then it's down to a 1v1 that I think you're more likely to win. Particularly since most Rammuses build gold/10 items and that kinda loses to typical Wriggles or Double Dorans Shacos.
About the only thing that goes right for you in this matchup is that Shaco is way worse in teamfights than you are, and you are way way more useful to the team with 5-6 items than he is with 5-6 items.
Also: I love Orianna, though some other people might tell you why. <3

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
My microphone, you say.
I sort of don't have one. Except my laptop seems to have an invisible one that only ever transmits the tapping from my keyboard and makes people think I have a proper mic.
If I had one, I still couldn't use it on account of people complaining about the "noise" and such. So yeah, text for me.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Push to talk should solve the typing problem. Every laptop mic I have encountered is super sensitive and thus picks up keyboard clicks easily, as well as background noise. They all WORK though, you just have to actually, you know, speak. :)
It helps if you find the mic though. You are looking for a small hole usually.
My laptop mic is next to the arrow keys. This is an uncommon location.
http://i.minus.com/ibl9Vm3hbfRn9A.JPG
Most commonly you will find it at the top of the screen next to the webcam. Like my mother's laptop.
http://i.minus.com/iB0VIEjb2n0dq.JPG
You may also find it on the forward edge of your computer. I don't have an example of this.
You can type in Mumble though in the box in the lower left. You have to click on the channel on the right though to talk to that.Last edited by Volatar; 2012-10-11 at 01:48 PM.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Some not so fun games today...Got randomed Sona due to some random LoL crash (that didn't kick me from the queue!) and went bruiser Sona top lane. It didn't work after the game became 4v5 and the enemy Karthus got fed. It still lasts over 40 minutes, despite my asking the team to say 'yes' to surrendering so I can play other games.
Next I go Kennen top. Mid Annie (first time) rages and feeds, Graves rages and feeds, Nocture feeds and quits.
...Just a bad day in general.

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Hey what does everyone think of Promote? I practically never see it considering it has almost no ability to kill an enemy hero.
However I absolutely love that spell. By using Promote I've been able to push lanes like crazy without needing to kill or even really hurt the enemy hero. Plus the extra gold it gives you is really nice. Other great use is just dumping in a lane then going to team fight somewhere else. It's practically a split push by itself. Also with a relatively short cooldown I can basically spam it instead of waiting for an opportunity like most other summoner spells.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
Well, i've never seen it really used in SR (effectively) but I HAVE seen it used in Murder Bridge (ARAM's normally). The thing just dumps all over any attempt to stop the creeps, and the decent chunk of HP it has just causes people to panic and go into "WTFOMGDIEDIEDIE" mode against it.
Also, Promote Ignite/Flash Mordekaiser. It's a thing that works for me apparently.“I’m a Terrorist not an idiot.” - Me

Re: League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut
The best use of Promote(on SR) is to help with early aggression targeted towards an early tower, especially against weak wave-clear champs(like LB, for instance).
Its seen use in tournaments recently as a support's summoner spell, in the 3-teleport + promote strats that feature Sivir as a main AD.
Overall, I'd say its a niche spell that doesn't belong in solo queue, since in that format, it doesn't offer enough without good team coordination. In an organized team, it'd probably doesn't see as much use as it deserves.Avatar by Assassin89
