What do you mean around your elo level?But youv never played him in ranked...
Shit man maybe he is awesome...
Play a few tens of games with him in ranked and it would be interesting to see your winning %.
IMO you dont need to get as high as 2k ELO in ranked to start sucking with him.

[smoth]

" it would be interesting to see your winning %." 43% unranked. or do you mean with kog? Win rating has diddle to do with you and more to do with your team and the other 5 guys on the other side of the team.

Unless you are in a really poorly balanced team, you are only 1/10th or 1/6th of the players. People going by win ratio make me laugh when they take that stupidity into team battles. That is only relevant in FFA and even still usually you have steal kills and jump people already fighting to really be #1 in FFA type games

[Valheru]

You have an elo rating out of ranked games, it just doesnt display it, thats how they balance the teams in normal games.

Doesn't matter you can play as hard as you want...
"sorry guys I have to jackoff my dog"
"ur all noobs I jungle make game better(proceeds to stay in jungle)"
Or my personal favorite yi/Xingalingadingdong who avoids playing and spends the better part if the game last hitting his allies kills

Don't get me started whe you have 1-2 feeders which feed the whole enemy team.

How does it count those? Where you bust ass but your allies just hand the win to the other team?

gota inspired me to play another game as veigar 6/0/7

Mighty if I can ever catch you online mind getting on mumble and helping me improve my kog play?

Premade teams ftw... I don't find playing solo very fun at all - no mumble, can't trust your team not to suck horribly, and generally just too much dickery. Applies to pretty much any game.

umad bro?

lol yeah super mad...and it wasnt ranked lol..

I'm rarely on US server :/ besides I wouldnt consider myself a good kog player. if you play him AD then there is just basic positioning in teamfights which is more or less the same for AD carries. I've never played AP kog and consider it a fun build although i did some people wreck with him.

[smoth]

Yeah and I do ap build kog

[Regret]

Yeah and I do ap build kog

You need to be very skilled at mana management / landing your ult for AP build to be preferred over madreds + movement speed + survival build.

[TheMightyOne]

lol yeah super mad...and it wasnt ranked lol..

my normal elo is higher than my ranked elo O_o

[triton]

how can u know about normal elo?

[Gota]

Your hidden elo depends on your ego...the higher the ego the higher the elo XD

Just played AP kog by the way ^^
I start with dorans blade and get 10 armor pen and 10 damage in my runes...This is for easier last hitting as i find it hard to last hit with him also gives a stronger early game which he lacks.
This game i went dorans,sorc shoes, rod of ages than straight to deathcap and than archangels...
I use tele and ghost to quickly return to lane and farm and ghost for positioning and escape.
Masteries 11-3-16

catalyst could probably have come a bit earlier like after t1 shoes..

Tele works great for mana hungry kog at beginning and since i got dorans and some dmg and armor pen runes i dont rely on spells too much at early game.
Catalyst gives the extra boost and allowes you to eventually smoothly transition to archangels.

not very complicated build nor very thought out and was just a normal game....
Kog is really hard to play in ranked....

oh
I start with W, again to easier last hit at the beginning and so its easier to last hit in case i get outplayed in lane and go lower hp than my opponent.
I also throw one into his Q just to be able to give than extra punch when and if i 1v1 my lane opponent.
Than I just prioritize ulti than E.

This game i went 11-6-5 and was mid lanning.

[Valheru]

Just postin so we can keep equal with the Journeywar thread at 534 posts.. Is that sad of me? Hmm, i dont think so..

[Coresair]

I give up on ranked....every game I play I carry us hard but still end up losing. I try to talk coordinate with my team, and we do fairly well when I do. The thing is, I play ranged carries to carry, so there is a chance xin zhao will rape me if I get out of position a tiny bit, and when I am dead my team utterly sucks. No clue what to do.

[Gota]

My opinion:
I noticed that even medium elo players fail at mid late game...Try to lead your team to enemy jungle to catch one of them offguard and kill him or get into a team fight from a better position...

Many teams will just all bunch up on lane and push, allowing the enemy to see them all cause they are killing the enemy minions(i wont mention that its retarded to be killing minions on the same lane with more than one two people in late game...
Try forcing your team to reveal themselves as little as possible after lanning is over.

Also IMO some chars are not as good carries as others...amumu has high utility he does not need items to make his ulti or rope useful you know what i mean....
While other chars need a lto of farm to show their strengths and when thye do they can carry the entire team.
If u insist on playing amumu try giving ur carries the kills.

Final note is that in low medium elo its more about knowing how to carry a team despite bad team compo no warding no proper timing and ganking on dragon and baron etc...
Its not really about picking a char to balance your team and play it very well, thats not enough.
You have to sometimes do everything...
kill a lot farm ward...

[Coresair]

I try to last hit minions a lot as urgot. Although I don't necessarily need a lot of farm to be useful. I generall ult, shred armor, slow and reduce damage of enemies for my team. But in ranked it seems I have to be carrying more then I like....(I prefer to play disruptors)

This is terribly outdated. my current w/l ratio is 59,4% with 413 wins 280 losses.

Ill try to answer in a similar manner to yours:
I like how you think youre the shit whereas you actually have no clue xD

if youre doing great in lane make sure other lanes win aswell, gank often. force people to push towers, ward other lanes. with 20 kills youre a very rich bastard and can afford 2-3 words every time you go back. call mias for other lanes. be everywhere.

and keep on playing, sometimes youre just out of luck, sometimes its impossible to carry but if you do well every game youll eventually climb in elo.

No need to get so snappy...
If i recall when i invited you to play a ranked game what was it you replied?
That you first have to test how i play....lolz
