So a couple of days ago i played in and lost 3 games in a row with the fine OcUK folk on mumbles and i have been thinking to myself since then, why? The first 2 games 1 opposition champion became over fed (1st - Shen, 2nd - Kennen) and the third was more balanced but we couldn't hold it.

I believe we lost because we lacked Strategy. Despite being able to communicate through voip we were still a disparate group of individuals albeit fighting towards the same goal but with no plan. It constantly felt like we were on the back-foot, anticipating the attack of our opponent instead of launching the offensive ourselves. Yes folks, in the ballroom dance of warfare, we were the girl, and they were leading.

So to the point of this post:

I don't know if there are already any sites out there pooling advanced strategic data but can we perhaps try to gather some ideas and things to try on here to increase our success rate? I'm not talking champion specific guides but rather teamplay and map control.

For instance, is there any benefit in all 5 champions (+- champion specific abilities) taking teleport so as to be able to say, push bottom with 3 or 4, while 1 keeps the creep wave top healthy, wait for a defensive response then 1 or 2 fall back to defend while 2 or 3 port top and push it down?

It's a good call but you have to understand to an extent that is how the group is made. Their are no entry requirements and on anyone day you cannot guarantee who will be on. At the same time you may find you play the next game and it's all working well - everyone is communicating and the game rocks.

Friday I was ready to Jack it in, bad vibes from the team/poor spirit/no strategy etc. Played on Sunday and it's a totally different game - good communication and we worked as a team.

if I find that magic formula i'll be selling it :)
 
the thing is i would rather try new chaps with you lot and loose and not get abused and just say "My Bad Pick Soz Team" all so every one has there ups and downs!!
i just enjoy the game with the people on mumble win or lose it is 99% fun game and lots of Ace wins even tho we should have lost!! lol

:) Or go my way and pick from 1 :) But yes you put it more eloquently than I do. Some days it will suck and other days it will be awesome.
 
I really need to sort a game out with you fine fella's, got access to mumble but haven't played yet. My main char is Malzahar, got my item build pretty nailed too. My in game name is the same as my forum name if you want to add me.
 
You can play with a US account using euro client i think.

Also, learn someone that isnt malzahar :P most other casters simply do his job a lot better than he can. Pushing? Morgana. Team silence? Just have annie and stun them instead. Single targetting? Veigar kills them a lot quicker and doesnt stun himself in the process.
 
Im fairly sure Joop is winding you up. We were trying to change regions for ages earlier today.

I only managed to get on for 5 minutes today - Buy Sona, then servers went down :(
 
I just tried an armour build for blizkrank.....he absolutely rocked. He's defo got to be one of the best heroes in the game. Just have to save 6k to buy him now. :p
 
Unfortunately blitz is rated fairly near the bottom on the hero lists. If you're making him in to a tank (from the armour build?) then tbh players have no actual reason to attack you. You do no damage and once youve done your ulti you dont have any other major threats, good for initiating though. Problem is, as with other heroes problems, the job they do can be done better by someone else. For example here, the best initiator around currently is amumu.
 
Glad I've got the chance to play Miss Fortune, she's a right laugh! If she's worth nothing else to the team other than me loving her ultimate then that's perfectly alright with me :D

Was having a look at the runes last night and it's going to take me sometime to save up for a decent rune page! At level 10 right now with 3.6K IP after unlocking Tristana to use as a main, shame MF is a 6.3k IP character otherwise I'd definitely make the investment :(
 
We play for a bit of fun otherwise we would be playing ranked games everynight insted of unranked.

No pressure makes it a lot more fun, do I like losing hell no as anyone on Mumble will tell you, but I would rather lose with you guys then get whinged at as a random in a ranked game.

In the same boat, I'm there to have fun, win or loose. The community as a whole doesn't seem too bad, not met too many people who spam noob in chat etc although there's always a few who are just plain gimps :p Actually for the first time today I was the one doing a bit of whinging, had Pantheon as my lane mate and he literally did squat apart from nick the only kill I was about to get lol :D
