It's kind of eye opening for me how much more knowledgeable you are about the matchups than I am (I wasn't kidding when I said that I play jungle/support because my mechanics and matchup knowledge in lane kind of suck for my elo lol). EDIT: Speaking of scrims...who's even on the TL B roster now? There are plenty of people on the roster. Good luck getting 5 of us at once. | ||

I almost never went bot lane but they seemed very self sufficient, despite getting repeatedly camped. Can't say much bot since I rarely paid attention to bot except for a few counterganks. By the time late game rolls around we were ahead every game, which meant our AD didn't even have an opportunity to shine. -Mid: Bladeorade has a massive champion pool mid, and has someone for almost any matchup/team comp. He's the most aggressively positioned player on the team, and so I was near mid more than any other lane to respond to ganks. He also roams extremely well. All in all, his style mid is a great complement to my jungling style. -Top: reket played Jax and Singed, not sure what else he plays, but those 2 champs already allows me to play every jungler in my pool. More of a "safe" laner which works great with the team since Blade and I tended to be initiating the exchanges and ganks. -Team Comps: Our 9 min game was Ori+Jax solos, so never got to see their full potential. We also had ez+sona. I really want to do that team again. We also ran a TF+Noc+Singed with TP, which was hilarious, but I wonder if Singed is the right choice for that team comp. Noc has to dive and will get focused down, and Singed isn't bursty. Maybe Jax would have been a better pick, and I just build Noc tanky. Thoughts? -Team Play: We haven't had much adversity yet, but I love what I've seen so far. We tend to keep track of the enemy jungler very well so I can be in position to countergank. Our team seems to get ahead when the *other* team ganks, which lets me either countergank or take another objective. Left alone all our lanes would have won by themselves. Later in the game we need a bit of work in making the right calls, but that's because we haven't played together before. I think we should save some replays for the analysis later. -I've been farming pretty hardcore in our first 5 games, mostly because we badly outclassed our opponents our first 3 games, but I have a feeling I'll be farming less as our opponents improve. I didn't need to gank much since all our lanes won by themselves, but I did countergank a lot. -I need to do a better job of timing buffs and getting team to contest them. In solo queue I only timed dragon/baron. Overall they were very fun games - great team, great people, and I would love to play again. But I am EST, so we may need to find another jungler just in case. (Or - as someone suggested - one EST and one PST team, but that breaks up the team.) I doubt we'll all be on every night so I'm always down for duo queues or normal games to practice more champs. Bot lane seemed to just roll over the opposing team every game with an early kill, one mistake we made as a team was taking that early tower and then not exerting pressure in their bot jungle. We need to be at every blue and take mid tower faster while aggressively warding with that kind of lead. We ended up just letting Cait farm back into the game, which didn't matter but against better opponents that would likely have made a huge difference. Top lane I didn't see much but generally in team fights you were doing well, however stepping on that Cait trap after I stunned Karthus knocked you down about 100 points so you get a 0. Also at one point when you were playing Singed vs one of the Amumu junglers, you tossed Amumu into us and my heart kind of stopped. I know we were way ahead but something like that could be a game changer and probably shouldn't get into the habit of doing that haha. Jungler was pretty much at all the right places, called out counter ganks well and overall performed very well. I was pleased that you were pretty much always by my side as I play super aggressive and have the tendency to go full retard (see that game vs amumu/karthus when I was on TF and amumu ganked mid for like 3 minutes straight and I still went aggressive.) I messed up again that game when you called a counter gank mid and I didn't even know amumu was standing behind me until I saw him on my screen. But good calls and plays. Me Mid, aside from the Twisted Fate game where I played like garbage and the Oriana game where we won in 9 minutes I think I played pretty well. I play very aggressively and I prefer to out play my opponent rather than out farm. Hopefully my skill increases exponentially as we face better and better opponents otherwise I know my style will fall flat haha. I need to work on my champs that aren't mobile. The jumping around in your face AP's are my best and my positioning can suffer because of that. My TF is decent because I have played him so much, but for instance my Orianna needs a lot of work I can't carry solo que for crap on her but I know I need to be good at her for ranked 5s. I also do have a lot of champions but we ran into the issues of picking because you guys don't have the champions I play. That could be an issue in the future as unless I can see their mid I don't really like to pick it and one times I had to play Kassadin due to lack of champions I think I wanted Diana. Nothing we can really do about that though just gotta farm dat IPz. Good games overall glad we went 5-0 I don't know if I will be able to play tonight as my girlfriend and I are fighting and she is coming home from her grandmas tonight but I will do my best. I will for sure be able to play a shit ton tomorrow. I also can't always stay up that late. I am going to have issues with the schedule and I do suggest looking for another AP Mid player that can back up or even take over. I am still considering starting another team for EST because I understand the need for practice and I just can't promise what you guys need. | ||

ELO: 1569 Roles: Support > Jungle > Top > ADC > Mid I mainly play support and jungle but when I need to, I go to top lane as Irelia, Jayce and Darius. I'm trying to learn leona but everyone else I know how to use. My main jungling champs are skarner, amumu and maokai. lolking: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/19810221 | ||

Can everyone update on what times during the week are best for them? It's more realistic to schedule ~2 nights a week for ~3 hours of games, and the rest of the time are just practice games. There's no way any reasonable person can keep up that schedule every day, unless you want to be a world first WoW raiding guild. | ||

I'm really aiming for 20 hrs of team play minimum per week. We'll just try to figure out the best distribution. I'm thinking weekends are where our heavy lifting will be, but we'll find out. To your point about bottom, before tonight's games I'll practice Zyra to expand beyond just Sona | ||

I can probably play for an extended period like that 3 days a week. I work full time, live on the east coast and live with my girlfriend, There is just no way that is possible for me. If the hours were earlier I may be able to put in more time but with it being what it is it is just impossible without being a detriment to my life. | ||

But that's not to deter you - you may very well be able to find 4 other guys who do that - just not me. | ||

I do have a FT job and am married as well. I even put off some parties this week, but I guess I'm just too obsessed with this game | ||

Instead of focusing on hours, think about how many evenings/days you're asking for. Even if it's just 3 hours a day this commitment is going to come at the cost of other pursuits and activities. Any night you play is a night where someone will miss out on a movie, an event, or some other activity simply because the remaining free time will not be conveniently aligned. At the moment you're asking for 4-5 evenings and perhaps a full day. That's true hardcore territory and, speaking as a former guild leader, you're going to have difficulty finding many people on that page. It's not impossible, but chances are TL doesn't have enough hardcore people with matching schedules for that. | ||
