The first 1:30 seconds of the game

Potato Doc··105 votes·10,875 views

They are super important, the game isnt sit at your tower for 1:30 if you arent invading. The game doesn't pause for those 1:30 for you to just sit there.

The game isn't listening to your jungle thinking he prattles about how the enemy ivern or nunu or shaco or who ever might gib your red or blue for you to ignore it while they plead for it to be warded at 1:30.

The game isn't watching the enemy with a blitz or naut or thresh or morg or etc in the loading screen only to not watch for an invade. Your trinket isn't a pretty little item that doesn't do anything for the first 3:00 of the game.( just a hint you get a 2nd charge at around 3:30 when junglers start to get ready to gank.)

The jungler really only gets 1:30 of the game where you need to babysit them, after that the jungle's main focus is to help you. So please, I know there have been plenty of junglers who just sit in the jungle and dont gank (or maybe you just think that about junglers just having bad games), but we really do need your help in the pre-minion game. A simple invade, a simple unknowing about the status of our buffs is enough to ruin our early game. There is no exp to miss in lane, no CS to be lost during this time. We need your help for that first 1:30 of the game, after that we will be looking to help you.

So please, use your trinket, save your jungle, and save a life.

Lies.

That period of time is for flashing mastery and spamming emotes with teammates. Quit misleading people, man, not cool.

Darn. I've been wasting it acting like a ward and playing Yugioh Duel Links on my phone.

Please. You should be playing Fire Emblem Heroes and other manly games.

I definately play FE:H too. Working on getting my second Spring Festival Camilla up to 40 to see which is better (since I forgot to check IV's before leveling them).

Also, I hate how many people have Julia in their arena teams. LET MY NOWI OWN YOUR TEAM IN PEACE PLEASE.

Quick Riposte-Bonfire Michalis OP when teamed up with Death Blow-Moonbow Kagero.

But people who run full buff-flier teams with Spring Festival Camilla disgust me. It can one shot 98% of everything in the game.

DarkRitual1 votes

I've not run into many full flier comps fortunately, but think I cound handle it fine. Lucina, Nowi (Falchion-slayer build), Spring Camilla, and currently my 4* Cherche for the arena bonus.

Melledoneus1 votes

My 5 star Tiki is a Res and HP tank. Camilla one-shots her.

DarkRitual1 votes

How is the rest of the team without Camilla though? Lucina can easily one-round her. Also, Tiki (Y) or Tiki (A)?

Melledoneus1 votes

Young.

Also, the rest of their team is food for Michalis and Kagero, it's just that damn Camilla that wipes my whole damn team.

If I ever get a Merric I will rejoice when I see that hentai waifu meta-breaker anywhere in Arena.

DarkRitual1 votes

Ah. I haven't seen a full loaded flier comp ever. Are they common for you? I'm at tier 11 doing advanced.

Melledoneus1 votes

I'm at tier 13 and they're rare, but they are definitely there. If I ever get a Takumi I'll be ready for them.

DarkRitual1 votes

He was my first 5* hero. Carried me through like 80% of the story missions.

Melledoneus2 votes

That was Peri for me. She did so much f*cking damage. Once I got my 4 star Kagero I started sweeping. I didn't get my first 5 star until Sibling Bonds 1.

I was fairly sure it was for people to sit and check their phone at mid while they get hooked from under tower by a Blitzcrank...

Iv done that before, hooked an AFK out from under mid tower while my team curbstomped their ass.

They actually complained that we we did that...

I was like "game started, dont go AFK."

In my mind, the game starts at the Champ Select DONGG!!! noise and deserves your complete and undivided attention until the defeat screen inevitably pops up...though maybe I'm just salty since I invade every game and get sad when teammates sit in spawn instead D:

Whenever my jungler wants to invade, and we don't have the following champions: ShacoEvelynn LeeSin Blitzcrank Morgana I always imagine in the jungler's head, What could possibly go wrong? Enemy Triple Kill

Tormentula5 votes

If its done right, anything can invade. Invades are about the numbers advantage (5v3) and blowing somebody split up, not so much what champions you're using.

Also Shaco Evelynn I dont think are good at invades, shaco gets more punished invading than setting up boxes for his own jungle, and eve is pretty immobile and weak level 1 (she's a good scout for an invade though.)

Luxs Destiny1 votes

Shaco can easily take ignite instead of flash with smite, grab Q first, and cause hell in the enemy jungle with Backstab passive, thunderlords, ignite and Q dmg/juke

MrryZ3 votes

q doesnt give damage anymore and the cooldown is too long and duration too short at level 1 to successfully invade or "cause hell"

Luxs Destiny1 votes

Was speaking Q dmg as in backstab :,) Two patches without base dmg on Q. rip.

Not completely true, if you're against some super powerful lvl 1 champions Jhin Ezreal Draven Karthus Vayne , or more specifically, ranged champions with high dps, and you're mostly melees and have to choose between gapclosers and hard CC (or neither! For example Zac is pretty useless because although his W gives good DPS and his E gives hard CC, his E is a huge commitment and doesn't have huge range rank 1, and he has no damage to follow up on it either) and can't really get both effectively (i.e., two get hard CC, two get gapclosers, the other is ranged, you use your hard CC, your gapclosers go in and get fucked by the 3 enemies).

Or if they have invaders, Morgana Thresh Blitzcrank invading is probably the death of you.

Tormentula1 votes

Again, its a numbers advantage catching somebody, not whether or not ezreal can 1v5 trade with your team with maybe his support and mid laner trying to soak some damage so he lives.

Unless they counter the invade (with 5) there shouldn't be any reasoning for why a 5 man invade fails besides being seen or overstaying and going for kills after summoners.

"DONGG"?

Mantikles, this isn't Blind Pick on the now dead client (Rest in Peace), we have new, updated sound effects. This one is more like a.....a SCHWIIIING.....or something.

Hang on, let me go get into a match so I can figure it out.

5 minutes later

Ok so it's not quite a SCHWIIING, but it's definitely closer to a SCHWIIING than a DONGG. Also there's a dragon screech in there for some reason.

So....yeah...I have no life.

I always heard it as more of a "whoosh" than a "schwing."

Sort of like the level up noise in WoW, which we always called "zwornfwoosh."

There is no more DONGG, you removed it and replaced it with a lackluster pching >:(

aLawfulFalafel2 votes

you could say that some of us miss our DONGG [zombie-nunu-bummed]

and were sitting here like what in the rito is this pching? [slayer-jinx-unamused]

RiotRiot Calad6 votes

In my mind, the game starts when Mantikles misses his hook on invade, and ends in despair when the enemy team destroys our nexus at 20 minutes.

Shaco main here. People love to tell you how Shaco doesn't need help, jeer at you for asking, and then sit at their tower humping each other. Then they're surprised when the enemy team hops over the wall and kills him and they get no ganks.

I've just come to accept that people are stupid, selfish pricks without any ability to think about why they do what they do. Why are they sitting at tower for 1:30? They have no idea, they just do it.

But... don't they hop over the wall and get Feared -_-

But I guess you'd get crapped on after that if you don't take flash, since no Q.

aLawfulFalafel1 votes

this ummm, this def has a valuable point in it

there are ALOT of people, whether leashing or sitting under tower, are actually having a toke or cracking a beer or something so if you get invaded they dont do anything, they sit there until they hear "minions have spawned" or "an ally has been slain"

i know because i do this too :p

if you are going to be afk plz just sit back abit so if theres an invade ur not dead and ur team is dead for trying to protect u while ur afk @$$ is dying XD

say u are jungling and u and the supp are spamming masteries n moving around and the adc is standing there motionless, assume that that person is afk and if an invade comes with equal or more ppl then run and leave that might be afk person behind because usually they are just afk and they arent worth dying trying to save XD

Ward your jungler's buffs, save a life, and you'll get a free tote bag with a photo of a smiling Amumu on it.

NOPE.

That period of time is a dance battle at everyone's respective lanes, It's a showdown of who's the better dancer (Taunt-er)

Blue buff has 400 health left, enemy jungler walks up and smites it. Top or bot doesn't do anything.
