Reign of Gaming

I don't give much thought to my ranked standings but I try and concentrate on having as many wins in my recent match history as possible no matter what the game type. I treat every game the same in other words.

Comes down to experience and the jungler you are playing. Worst case scenario you should be the same level as your duo lane, best case you'll be the same level or higher than your solo lanes.

Your best start is like Rickrosee said, try for a smiteless buff.

Don't forget to take some minions after a gank. This will net you the most extra xp and gold.

Very classy idea. I believe in you my friend. If you will print it, they will come.

Some of us just like the texture and style of traditional print. Also, like art and women, sometimes it's nice to own beautiful things just for their beauty's sake. As long as your magazine isn't the literature worlds version of a overweight, moustache growing prostitute, you should be fine.

I've only really had success with Heim when I have other team members who excel at wave clearing. If we struggle to get rid of the minions then his turrets and missiles are lost in the crowd.

Veigar's Event Horizon for sure. Thresh has a modified version of it for his Ult after all.

Never downplayed the effect of Splitpushing. It's just Spiltpushing is not Teamfighting, and even then, Shaco is medicore at best at it compared to many champions. He dosen't have Globals/Semi Globals, and he's not that fast without burning his Ultimate.

 

Deceiving behind a carry is useless anywhere near a tower, and that doesn't stop you exploding, or stop the fact that the carry will 1v1 you anyway. Heaven forbid that someone has a pink ward or an Oracles.

Two Shiv's slow isn't exactly strong or long, 30% for 3 seconds is meh at absolute best. [At least the C/D is decent]

The clone will explode almost instantly and hardly do damage.

 

The thing about Shaco is his kit in itself dosen't scale into lategame at all. However, it is very powerful early. Shaco has to win early, and write someone else out of the match by falling behind, else the game is 4v5. Shaco aims to make it 4v4 or even 4v3 by shutting down lanes, but if any game goes long enough Shaco will be a hindrance.

That's not true for good Shaco players. He can team fight at all stages of the game. It's just a matter of how you look at it. He only really struggles against really tanky teams and they aren't as common as they used to be.

A combination of Hydra and BotRK gives you enough life-steal and utility to hold your own vs most teams. If you are aiming for an IE most likely you will fail.

Deceiving into someone under a tower is obviously going to get you killed. Diving anyone at a tower by yourself is going to get you killed. If the other team has wards or oracles you'll use decieve to get away and not into fights.

Shivs greatest strength in a team fight is slowing someone just enough that they stay in proximity the box you place during fights. Once that fear goes off, they're dead or at the very least not damaging you back. Sure, boxes are casualties of AoE in some fights but not every fight.

The clone won't explode straight away every fight. In fact, very few people target Shaco in team fights as they're trying to bait out his deceive to lock him down. It's easier to get in and out of an all in fight then it is a smaller skirmish as there's a lot more confusion you can take advantage of.

Shaco's kit doesn't scale into the late game like other characters do but that doesn't mean he's useless past the 30 min mark. There isn't any other character like him and you really need a certain mindset to play him. He also has very few counters (Hec and Nunu are the worst at the moment).

His high skill cap is his only real weak point - he's definitely not for everyone. I would challenge anyone to get really good with him, not just competent with him and still say he's weak in team fights.

As much as Darius is my main man, I don't jungle him any more, mainly due to his ult change. He's still effective but I wouldn't go as far as to recommend him for carrying.

Sej would be a good choice at the moment (providing she isn't banned - dunno who gets banned in Bronze), as would Zac.

Khazix and Diana aren't as easy to carry from the jungle with as people think. Diana especially is hard to do anything without her Ult and only really blows minds in certain team comps.

If I had to pick a single champ it would be Shaco. I totally agree with rhogot. He does have a pretty steep learning curve though so you'll need to play him in normals for a few weeks, as well as watching every Diamond level Shaco clip you can on Youtube and reading guides (guides are less helpful) before playing him in ranked. I sometimes duo with one of my friends who's in the bottom of Silver and I haven't ever encountered a jungler I couldn't mop the floor with as Shaco. So if you really are better than Bronze material you should do fine.

After playing a few games both with and against him I'm gonna side with the people who think Trundle is better than bottom Tier. He is HARD to kill in ARAM and his disruption is pimp. That horn gives him everything he needs for the start of the match and once he gets his ult it's just dive town all day. Never die again.

Also, I still believe Siv to be better than Corki or Twitch and nothing I've seen in ARAM has yet to suggest otherwise.

I'm going to have a stab in the dark here and say that this has nothing to do with Riot and everything to do with either your ISP or home set up.

Just play a mid lane champ as support, put on your shades and rock out.

Groovey.
