Trackballs are awesome. Used to use them all the time in UT2k4 and Tribes. Before "gaming mice" were a thing where you had all kinds of customization options it felt a lot better making small micro adjustments.

In a way being melee is a plus against Urgot at least at the time. Yi can really farm creeps too what with alpha strike so it's not very high risk either. The hero pool not being what it was at the time made it much more possible too. Hyper carries will hyper carry given the right support too of course.

[@Riinkz]

I did something similar to what #5 did with Yuumi. It's really fun, if you really get how to do it! And #2(I think) a friend of mine has been playing League with only his mouse. And mega props to that trackpad dude, I tried playing like that and it's hilariously hard.

I'm playing with a trackball since season 4. I reach platinium every seasons even with few ranked, so it doesn't realy affect my lvl. Actualy, if you're used to use your trackball for everything (go on the internet, play other games...), you won't notice the difference because it's natural to you to just roll a ball with your thumb to make a mouse moove. If somewone has any questions, feel free to ask. I'm using a Logitech M570, which is almost the same that Perks has. ps: excuse me for my poor english, i'm not a native...

[@Sifd]

How did we get to the point of the META becoming so stale and streamlined for everybody that people get banned for unconventional picks even if they do well? Pro team picks and strategies are so absorbed by the META that they need to pause because they are flabbergasted about what the enemy did. Maybe a fixed META is good for the game as it streamlines the experience for esports and for newer players but when it is treated like a gospel and gets people banned even if they know what they are doing we got a problem (I still agree on banning feeding trolls or complete "for the lulz" trollpicks) PS: Pausing for a "is the pick we see correct?" should not be allowed, they had time in champion selection and the loading screen to ask about it and strategize about it, not after the game starts use a pause to (probably) strategize further or think of a plan. This defeats the purpose of the unconventional pick.

[@tristancarax4572]

In Wild Rift, I have used the Teemo strat. with acd's and support on occasion. I was able to get to diamond like that a couple of times. I agree with it bing a coin flip though. If the ADC can take on two, it can work well because then you go jungle and take away from the enemy jungle. Tough strat though.

Remember smite Singed botlane? Should be better now actually since Nimus Cloak got put on summoner spells instead of ultimates. The idea was to play like a pseudo-proxy thing where you would go looking for the enemy jungler, flipping them away and smitestealing their botlane camps, and then run away. If botlane and/or midlane came, you just kited them around, wasting their time and exp in lane. And of course, botlane you could play super safe and take relic procs with smite, before you flash flipped the enemy adc and chased them down the lane. It was good when the enemy team didn't have too much poke.

League works in a way that you get much more LP for winning than losing in a high elo if you spam games. That's why people with 46-50% winrate can hit diamond and a reason why calling someone "hardstuck d1 player" can be offensive. That has to to with performance formula that always is behind your MMR if your climb is fast.

[@XionDarkblood13]

Heh, the teemo support was a thing way before that. I remember when I refused to play any champion other than teemo, yes I was that guy, so I figured out how to play any role as teemo. This was in the dark times when wards were an item you bought. I would just get a couple gp5 items and cdr items and instead of buying wards I could just use mushrooms. To be clear this was far before Teemos rework where he could throw mushrooms. It worked well because anytime the enemy ADC would try to attack my ADC I could blind them with the triple tap combo. Darting in and out of the bush I could keep poison on the enemy support and usually the ADC wasting all the supports mana, if they had a heal, and all their healing pots quickly. Once I got RCS it was game over bot. Teemos blind was both a blind and a major slow, as a single target ability. No enemy wanted to gank bot lane because f****** teemo shrooms everywhere. I also never put them in just the obvious places. With my cdr setup I could have way more shrooms than anyone realized. So I would hide them in the spots they would go to avoid them. I also knew about how far they could get with the slow and would space my shrooms accordingly. I was greatly hated by my enemies. They were correct to hate me.
