You can't just walk into his jungle and take it. You need the laners adjacent to the buff to have lane control. They need to not be dummies and have your back. And since he took yours he probably expected you to try to invade him, so it was a bad idea regardless.

Yeah, I went like 2-20 off my placements but now I'm at 49%ish WR after 100 games lol
Jungle is all about out-thinking the enemy jungle, you just need to learn what typical moves from certain jungles are. Ivern? He's always going for that lvl1 steal. Shaco? The lvl2 invade. Etc... It's almost always worth scouting into the enemy jungle and at least dropping a ward so you know when the enemy is starting so you can counteract that early tank or go steal a few camps
I'll be home in 30 or so
It's interesting how junglers became such a force nowadays. The job of the jungler used to be to get the laners ahead, now it's the job of the laners to get the jungler ahead. Having lane pressure opens up so many opportunities for your jungler to screw with the enemy jungler or the enemy laners. It also opens up major objectives to take like dragons or herald.
But anyhow, fuck jungling.
1. Win lane
2. Win game

I'm a bit confused. How did you know he took your blue buff? Did you check up on it and then go to his blue buff across the map? Seems like that's what you're saying but that's crazy.
...Ah fuck it, nevermind.

you're pretty strong in 1v1s because of the isolation damage. Evolve Q first. you're not immortal in the 1v1
I warded my blue before the camps spawned cause I knew Ivern would try and go for it. So as soon as I got my red leash, I saw him smiting my blue, so I instantly went across river to his blue but then I got 4 manned lul.
Ok, that makes more sense. When you say "as soon as I got my red leash" do you mean you saw him when you finished the buff, or as you were starting your buff?
Basically, did Ivern take your buff camp at 1:40 or at 1:50?
He took it at 1:58 exactly.

Costy, if you're reading this, we might need another LoLGAF rivalry tournament with Type2 and Envelaap as the captains =)
man come on. if you and type don't get along that way i get it. but he wasn't trying to be a dick to you.

*sees Newt in queue*
I'm gonna start spamming Lulu in the bot lane and it seems pretty fun so far. Except for when my top lane Ryze lets Nasus free farm into an unkillable god beast by minute 15 :|

I'm gonna need a step by step retelling of the drama so we can decide if it's worthy of an inhouse to settle it

In promos and this guy locks in Yasuo. God bless.
Oh he's trolling cause he didn't get jungle. Even more god bless.
This feels like those 'Such and such locks in X in your promos. WAT DO U DO?!' situations. My condolences on the LP.
i just realized that is all wrong. i never play with flash on D when i'm running exhaust
lol
abyssal, roa and rylais are not gonna save u from rengar and those items have fairly meaningful tradeoffs
zhonyas crucially doesn't prevent u from getting killed, it just delays it
if no one is around you'll still be killed by rengar after those 2.5s
survivability for mages is pretty much the same as adcs, you get caught and you're killed in an instant
having zhonyas is nice but having lifesteal and not having to worry about mana is also nice
they're different classes with different strengths, that's all
don't make false promises
no semi competent adcs where i live
i can't play anything that isn't mid
i used to be a pretty decent support but then they added dynamic queue and picking mid and support means you get support every game so i never played the other role i liked again
nowadays i'm just picking whatever feels like gives me a better shot of getting mid for my secondary and just accept whatever games i don't play mid as losses
tho quinn is so busted that i'm actually enjoying playing top
i just like abusing melees
over enough games it'll always normalize
the problem is always gonna be you, start thinking about shit you do wrong and focus on slowly improving on those things and you'll climb if u play enough
if you go into a game with the same 1v9 mentality and are always complaining about teammates you're probably never gonna get good enough to actually 1v9 and get the hell out of bronze or whatever
yeah literally mid right now is about pushing the other mid so ur jungler can invade theirs and then coin flip who's jungler is best
it used to be that junglers were mid's supports... those were the days...
I for one welcome a Type vs Envelaap Inhouse.
It also fits thematically because Envelaap was on my team and Type was on Ioki's team.

Do you have Graves? He's also another good pickup that can decimate people with ease.

Have fun with that Zac.
edit: Suffrin' Succotash- I thought that Jhin was Silver, but he was Master Tier... gg Riot
edit: Suffrin' Succotash- I thought that Jhin was Silver, but he was Master Tier... gg Riot
pretty op, tho the mix of nerfs and lethality buffs seems to have hit her quite a bit
i hate zac, even with the area indicator i find him really annoying to play against
also yea jhin was master. the master border is really hard to tell apart from silver, you'd be fooled if you didn't see the gems at the top
he played well, but vi fed too many kills to brand and irelia stomped our fiora
oh well, who cares, it's flex
makes me want to quit on the spot when i see it on the enemy team.
Had one of those days where I wish I could take back the two or so hours I ended up spending on LoL...
First game we have an awful comp with no engage except for a lone Amumu who volunteered to be our engage champ when it was obvious we were going to get owned otherwise. He did amazingly well, but our team sucked at actual teamfights while they had crazy burst courtesy of Veigar and Kayle (man, Kayle was so stupid this game). Cue a 57 minute game were we were 2 to 6K ahead in gold the whole latter half of the game (including up to the moment we lost) and had three barons and four dragons to their zero and one, respectively, and yet we lost because my team insisted on doing stupid stuff such as recalling after getting baron with only the enemy support and jungler alive when we could've handily taken the mid turrets up to their inhibitor due to number advantage and baron buff, and other silly stuff such as going on wild goose chases against stray champs rather than pushing minion waves as they crept ever closer to our turrets...
Then I get a dodge, I dodged myself when our designated support decided to go flash/heal Twitch, and then, three or four dodges later, I got into a game were my Cait was doing quite well in lane, but then she was all like "OMG, gotta take doggie to the vet, bye guys!" and botlane obviously imploded (gotta hate playing Nami when I'm the one forced to push a lane back), we lost everywhere and the team insisted on not surrendering and attempting to contest baron 1v5 (oh, Zed...) when mid had no inhibitor and only the inhibitor turrets remained in both bot and top lanes.
Gotta love being on a 2-loss streak and about to fall off of my newly earned B4 at -3 LP (because of the dodge, maybe?) because I get two teams in a row were our only way to win would've been a massive ISP failure disconnecting the whole enemy team...

Dive into turrets yet you can still lose 3vs2
