Avatar of Grima Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 xerath surprisingly i have a good record on when i play him in ranked but as i said i use unlocked when i ult cuz it takes not even 2 secs to unlock and aim at least they fixed the bug on him where if you ulted to quickly they would go and hit right below him Quote
Peepeepoopoo Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Well I guess it all boils down to what you're used to. Quote
Dark Desire Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 okay friends here is a story of how playing on locked screen has ruined my league career when I first started league, I too didn't realize that playing unlocked was a thing, but I soon noticed how many blind spots there were and how many champions felt more complicated to play on locked, now two seasons later I'm still trying to wing myself off of it and because of how little of the map you see on red side on locked I hope every game that I get blue side so I don't always feel useless to my team on red don't fool yourselves into thinking you're going to get better at LoL while playing on locked, because in my case, you're not Quote

Move from there until you're playing fully unlocked. Quote

Shamitako Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I just played a kog game and in the middle of the game i realized something. Why do I want to be good with an unlocked screen. the answer was that the masses was on unlocked screen. Why? to see their behind easier in lane? Ive learned to watch my large minimap a lot so i can see it coming. To get a better view of the teamfight? I can see the fight just fine. To be able to take advantage of global ults? I can just click y aim, fire, and then click y again. Cuz the masses( almost everyone else) is using an unlocked screen including pros? after i looked at it more i realized i dont need to be in the same group as 90% of the league community and i said fuck it and played the rest of that kog game and DESTROYED everyone. The End While locked is certainly playable, there's plenty of champs who it makes much more complicated (most notably Nidalee who's main skill far outranges the screen) Or more mobility based champs who constantly move the screen on you. You also see a whole lot less overall and thus have less reaction time Now obviously you don't need to play unlocked, and plenty of people don't, unlocked is just far easier to perform well on You know, it'd be nice if the spacebar unlocked your camera when held down if your screen was locked Quote
Dark Desire Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 damn hopefully we don't get it too worse on the west coast now :[ Quote
Shamitako Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 It sounds to me like the west coast is expected to lose a little over half the ping the east coast gains (AKA a net gain overall) As one who generally gets 150-200 ping, having the servers two states over is gonna be a big help for me I'm just sitting here :/ing at the people complaining about their ping going up to "unplayable" levels (AKA ~70/80 ping) Though I do feel bad for the people in like Hawaii who are gonna end up with my ping now D: Quote

Tacos Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Well, considering I'm basically right on the East Coast, this should help me quite a bit. Not like my ping was unplayable, but I'd always wanted to experience what it was like under 100 ping. Pros always talk about how unplayable even 70 ping is, so I wonder if it truly makes that big a difference. Quote

Joker Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I average 70 to 90 if my net is being wacky. With this change I can see it going down to 30 or lower. Quote

With this move to Chicago, I think expecting an average of 50 ping would be really nice. Though it could be lower, since I get about 30 ping on Dota and their server is in Chicago. Quote
Dark Desire Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 i was in the 20s when there servers were in LA but now i get about 30-39 now that the servers are in portland Quote

foovy10 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) im usually around the 80-100 range but going 130 annoys me which will happen once in awhile Side note im on east coast Edited August 7, 2015 by foovy10 Quote

Shanco Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 The servers have never been in Los Angeles, as far as I know... I get an avg. of 80 ping right now on NA, and 55 on Latin America North (which is located in Florida). I'm intrigued to see what kind of ping I get to Chicago, since one of the regular Unreal Tournament servers that I play on is in Chicago, and I get 25 ping connected to that. Quote
Another Felix Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Usually around 1600 ping on the East Coast. Man, my internet sucks. Quote
Avatar of Grima Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Ping issues things I don't want/ like. Normally I fluctuate between 20 and 50 but idk what it's gonna be like when it's in chi town Quote
