Anybody here still play these? You know, those games where you run in lanes and try to knock over other people's sandcastles?

I'm a League man, myself (despite the laggy servers and such going on right now), and thought it might be fun to throw some Ponychanners on my Friends list and open a meet/greet/socialize thread for players of this genre.

I still play league a lot. I've been dominating the top lane with Gnar and Rumble so far, i normally end up 10+kills/3+ deaths. The only top laner that can kill me and punish me so far is Fiora, and even then, the player must be very good at her.

Nashor's Tooth and Lich Bane would allow him to do a lot of magic damage, Rylai's and Liandry's passives would work with his spin and give him a lot of health, magic pen helps his ult a lot.

It's a really really troll build, but it could work if you're just much better at the game than your opponents.

I actually moved my main account to LAN cause most of my friends started migrating there, and i didnt want to make a new.
I did make a new one on NA though, its "Nathandagraves", im already level 10 and have gnar and rumble in my roster, so right now im just saving ip and leveling up till 20 for the runes.

Isn't it just like playing Urgot, except you right click instead of pressing Q?
>> No. 132830

No, because Urgot won't die if you just look at him funny.

Also, Urgot has crazy long range.

I dunno, I guess I can't play as squishy duelists.

I grind solo q every day I get the chance too, ya know, avoid being bad at the game in general, and that got me to plat 1 from silver 4 in just a few months.

What I learned about people in some what high ELO solo q is the ones at fault may not like the accusations, but they generally recognize their mistakes. The backtalk is more along the lines of "I know I messed up, quit being a douche and play" as opposed to straight-up denial of fault, so insults and complaints don't really end up turning into long, pointless arguments. Because they know what that's like.

It's great how people understand how the game works at later points, it isn't about "solo play clutches" it's what it's meant to be, a team game.

I guess a lot of those people haven't made it there yet, so just mute whoever you can who's bothering you and just move on in life. They'll soon realize how silly they are trying to have at it with you while you're too busy climbing the ladder while they are just barking at you below the rest.

I'm a Dota2 player.

It's one of the games I got into because of ponies. A few fellow fans who later became good friends of mine introduced me to it back in 2011.

Sadly, I'm the only one left who's into FiM, but we still play on a semi-regular basis.

I know Dota2 players are a rare kind here, but if there are any who would like to play, just let me know.

2 years ago or so I started Dota2 on a whim and played with a group like once a week, accumulated 75 hours.
Also checked out League for a few rounds, but I was alone, and that's boring.
Somewhere we stopped.
Should I get fed up with chans and anime, and not have less spare time on my hands, I don't see why I couldn't try dabble back in sometime.

In case you happen to stumble across this thread again: I'm part of a group of 5 former /int/ posters from Austria who play every couple of days. Maybe you'd like to join us some time?

Just to give you a heads-up though - there are two pretty good players in the team (1 in the high skill bracket, 1 in very high skill), so our opponents are tough - especially if you're only an average player like me.

Your math doesn't add up, FGi. The game has been playable since 2011 (open beta).

He only would've had to play 2-3 hours every day to reach that amount. Needless to say, MOBA games can last very long, so 2-3 hours only accounts for a couple of games every day.

Thanks for the offer, but tbh in the couple of years I've been on Ponychan I never really warmed up to German thread culture. No offense, but the mix of Krautchan, Ponychan and self-congratulatory attitude just isn't for me.

I used to post there occasionally with a different name back in spring 2011, but those times have passed together with FiM's quality.

Just of curiosity though - who are the best players there and what's their mmr?

Hey guys, i found this thread using "search" so I hope I'm not necroing a dead thread.

but anyway, I play League, if anypony wants to add me on the NA server, I'm supernova141

Just a fair warning, I don't take this game too seriously and I break meta a lot, so if you only play with try-hards, don't bother.
