Another "I answer everything" thread.

[quote=lifebaka]Do you think any standard supports are viable mid right now? Also, which utility mages do you think are best mid right now?[/quote]

[quote=grrg]Is there a way to counter the current meta without an adc?[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]@lifebaka Try zyra, janna, and karma. In bronze, soraka mid is devastating. I can make a video on it sometime, guaranteed FB at level 1 against inexperienced opponents. WTF I have -30 MR? :3 @grrg Leave the theory crafting to the professionals. I've had some success with Darius+J4 bot lane and blitz-star. Try darius-j4 vs low mobility adcs and dunk them forever. My personal favorite troll bot lane is nasus+soraka bot lane. Nasus takes 21 defense and armor quints, and just farms q all day long. When your jungler ganks, whither and silence can lock them down for your jungler. I do love nasus soraka and gp soraka isn't terrible.[/quote]

[quote=grrg]It was actually something I was hearing from my friends who introduced me to league and have played much longer than I have. How are you suppose to gain an edge if you don't theory craft? Mechanics and correct plays only take you so far (understand I am not saying my mechanics are perfect at all). I need to learn how and why the current meta is the way it is, and if there is a way to counter it profitably.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]How about you update your profile so I can look up your main account and scold you for valuing theory crafting over mechanics when you're bronze or something.[/quote]

[quote=RazeMage]Do boots necessary? Is it okay if i don't buy them?[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]burn throat can you play a game for me on my acc? afraid im gonna decay again and i cant play on NA (spikes like crazy) Please? :3 And as for a question: is there any trick to counterganking enemy junglers besides looking at 1) differences in aggression of the lane you suspect 2) wards 3) predictions (enemy ganked bot lane might be camping bot / going mid) and help me ask lasty which build he thinks is better on lee dorans dorans --> sightstone or machete --> golem spirit --> sightstone or machete --> razors --> sightstone[/quote]

[quote=grrg][quote=throatslasher] How about you update your profile so I can look up your main account and scold you for valuing theory crafting over mechanics when you're bronze or something. [/quote] I'll shoot strait, cause I don't feel like messing with updating account and whatnot. I am bronze II and have played approximately 30 ranked games. I don't have any money to spend so my champ pool is limited to what I have grinded out IP for. This is why I find theory crafting important. Every day before I even set down to play a normal I will do at least 1 custom game to work on mechanics, mostly last hitting. I don't mean to imply that I value theory crafting over mechanics, just that I value theory crafting highly. The reason I ask about theory crafting is because I know what is needed for me to improve my mechanics, however theory crafting takes more thought and understanding to learn. I appreciate the way you give a very strait forward and honest opinion. I think you know what you are talking about and I can totally see where you are coming from. Of course I need a good mechanical base to start learning from. Otherwise all the theory crafting in the world wouldn't help me win a lane that I counterpicked if I don't know the basics of lane mechanics. I will take that scolding now.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]@GRRG Just know who's strong and play them. You can theory craft matchups, like builds and skill order, but matchup knowledge is most important, assuming you have competent mechanics. I like to use the example of my ryze vs old kha'zix/diana, I've run those lanes a hundred times and I knew them like the back of my hand. @embracing I'll play 1 tonight. I typically rely on predictions and knowing the route their jungler will take, and which lanes they're most likely to gank. Aka, I don't expect a level 3 maokai to first gank for a level 2-3 vlad vs a darius. They don't have the damage to kill him. I like razors on lee. Also, try the new 9-9-12 dblade start jungle setup. High sustain, no potion waste. I played rengar jungle and completed red+blue with 80+% hp.[/quote]

[quote=gotoh]Hello Throatslasher. I've had a particular question on karthus: what do you think of [[liandry's torment]] on him? For me its quite good as it compensates his poor AP ratios and he has an slow for the doubled damage. The penetration is also very powerful and it gives HP. I use it when playing a particular build of mine focusing on survivability.[/quote]
