*** League of Legends ***

How long do you get to play your promo before its a default loss? Won my first promo game last Wednesday but my internets been down since as there's been some mess up with sky and BT. Still not sure when it'll get fixed.


It's a long time I think as this is how so many people sniped the Challenger bracket at the end of the season. They'd play, and win, 2/5 of the promo games to Challenger and then just sit on that until the end of the season. They then just had to win 1 game in the final week and were guarenteed a Challenger spot because you got 1 week immunity from being demoted after going up into that bracket.

I'm pretty sure the standard time is 14 days, except for challenger which is like 5 days to complete it, I swear I read a post from a rioter a few weeks ago about it.
 
Been practicing Ziggs atm, since hes seeing a lot of play in the competitive scene, he's actually rediculously strong, his poke in lane is really good, its super easy to farm on him, the only draw back i might see for some people are that every one of his abilities is a skillshot.

I picked him up in the sale. He was good fun when I tried him on rotation a few weeks back.

Had a couple of games with him so far in normal drafts. I know what you mean about the skillshots >< Sometimes I manage to land the bombs quite successfully to poke. Others... I can throw everything but misjudge the range on the minefield and satchel completely so miss by a mile. Did a couple of total failganks that way.

Almost 100 percent that it is suspended during the preseason, promotions still work but it won't inactive you. Allows for breaks outside of the league. Challenger is still set to downgrade though

I'm sure tsm bjergsen has a good guide on how to play Ziggs ;)
 
I think ive won the last 6 out of 7 ziggs games.

Played a ranked last night, i picked ziggs, they picked diana, i could harras her down so much that i got FB within 5 mins, after that she had around 21 farm whilst i was at about 60 odd, she thought she could survive it out until level 6 and kill me, but my early game power vs hers is exeptional so she got crushed.
 
Sounds like you destroyed the lane.
Also sounds like she could have done with more help from her team and she didn't play safe enough. Hard to call with so few details, but with that kinda divide sounds like she's/you're in the wrong league :p
 
I know ive asked before but just in case anyone new is reading the thread.

Is there any bronze players out there fancy some duo q games?

I really want to try and find a few guys to play with in ranked as opposed to only ever playing solo. I got into Bz2 yesterday so anyone around there really.

I seem to have quite a few on my list who add me then never even ask for a game :S
 
As long as you have a decent level of awareness and mobility in yourself as a gamer, you transfer this to the way you play mid and can avoid most of Ziggs skills

I'm gold 1, so she must have been around the same skill level, their jungler was Lee and he ganked me a few times, but he couldn't land his q so i just kept poking him and he'd have to back off, i should be platinum but my team mates are holding me back... joking haha, nah, getting to platinum is proving extremely difficult.

Oh man, Support is so broken right now (not in necessarily a good way).
Does the enemy team counter Taric? (mostly ranged/magic dam) -> Pick Annie/Fiddle.
No? Pick Taric.

Sigh, so boring :<
 
Well his passive is designed for a gold starved hero but he doesn't have that issue now. Full tank Taric with 40% CDR is just mental. As for Annie and Fiddle, well everyone said this would happen when they nerfed all the supports AP ratio's :p
 
Does anyone know when season 4 begins?

If i get into plat i wanna atleast make it to plat 3 so that when the soft reset happens there will be a good chance i get placed in platinum if i do good in my placements, would be annoying if i get to plat 5 at the last minute and the reset causes me to go into gold 1 again.
 
Teams with only 1 or 2 AD will counter Taric but still i'm seeing even in ranked full on AD teams with a taric on the opposing side just laughing...
