League of Average Legends

I went with "LagTime" for the name.

HAHAHAH I WON! Kaden is the best team captain ever.

[Kaden]

We should set up a couple nights a week to actually practice. What nights work for who?

[John Doe]

LagTime is so lame =(

I'm not sure that right now I will be able to commit any specific dates. That said, when I am on, I don't mind doing so (pretty much my normal deal). With what I have going on for the next month or so and with my work schedule being a "not guaranteed how soon after closing you'll actually leave" thing, I'm hesitant to waste anyone's time with a promise. Even if I think I might be able to say "Tomorrow night is good", I don't know if something's going to come up that I'm going to prioritize over this.

That said, this shouldn't really be a problem given the number of people that can fill slots.

I think I'll be able to make it tonight, though I'm trying to get some stuff done around the apartment and won't actually be sitting around at the comp. If I take a break and notice something happening, and decide to stick around, great. If I don't, then my apologies.

I'm available basically any night except Saturday nights after 7pm PST. However, starting the 20th, I start working at 6:30am every day, so my availability will be cut off at 10pm, what with the needing of sleep and all.

[Kaden]

Ok, well, we're officially signed up. I've asked about both changing our Roster and changing our name.

If people want a specific name, give that one, specific name. Only interested in hearing from people on the roster at this point.

[John Doe]

I vote L2P.

Still my vote.

[Ashe]

I'm not really a fan of "L2P", or any other "bro-speak"/"l2p-kid" type names.

Its pretty unfortunate that, according to this list, I am basically never going to be jungle. Sad, since I really enjoy it, but was unaware that I'm considered that terrible at Trundle and others.

As far as support characters go, the only one I currently consider myself to both enjoy and be decent with is Alistar. Regarding Lux and Morgana, lately I've both not really enjoyed playing them and don't feel I'm very good at them either. Regarding Oriana, I really enjoy her, but I'm caught in a bind. The games where I've been solo lane, I've pretty much won my lane (against Nidalee and a couple others, doubt it'd work against, say, Vlad or even Kennen). Those games then go well. I don't like her in a duo lane at all, and every game I've played her in a duo, she's just been shit for either lack of gear by feeding my partner, or lack of experience by getting zoned harder by a pair that can do more damage. At the same time, I feel I've done much better in games where I've done mid than in games where I've duo'd.

I said, already, that that was what I thought from having seen people play. If you think it's different tell us what you think you should do.

These roles lists are also under the assumption that you'll be the only person filling that role for the team. So, ideally, you'd be the best person for said role for any given configuration of players.

It's unfortunate that you decided to interpret this list as "you're terrible at jungling because I didn't put "jungle" after your name. That's really not helpful to this process. Note I have neither "melee" nor "support" after mine, but I think I can safely say I do perfectly well at either of those roles. I didn't put them because I think I make a bigger contribution to the team as a carry or melee dps. Do I enjoy playing ranged carries over and over again? No, I like to mix it up. But that's not what we're going for here. And no, before it's said, that doesn't mean "oh I guess that means I can't have fun." It means we're trying to be efficient and competitive with this. Not all of us fill all roles equally well on a competitive level. And no, that doesn't mean anyone thinks you're awful; if that were the case I wouldn't have just added you to the list before you even knew this existed (I can show you the timestamp on the word doc I copied this from).

So, again, given the above what three roles would you give yourself assuming a team has one of each of the following: ranged dps, melee dps, caster, tank, support.

[Kaden]

I'm not really a fan of "L2P", or any other "bro-speak"/"l2p-kid" type names.

That's kind of my position as well. It would be like having the name "umad" or "lolnub" or something like that.

I do like Two-Part Trilogy, though.

I suppose I would say the list you put me on would be accurate in some ways. I still don't think I "excel" at support, in comparison to games of Malzahar/Kennen or Caitlyn (examples, not necessarily my best characters in those roles but simply the first in mind that I do enjoy playing). I think I'd bump support to a fourth and jungle to third. Interestingly, I have a rough time supporting "Jungle" classification from its actual role outside of jungle. I'm not making a classification argument akin to "But then Lux is also a Ranged Ap and not just Support, so what?" but more in terms of "Jungle" being the location they are doing their leveling. It'd be like specifying "Teemer play Dual Lane" (total example) or "Kaaden solo". Thankfully, jungler tends to alternate between three roles (which can be simplified to the first two, if wanted) of "melee dps, tank, assassin".

[Orion]

I'm available mostly on the weekend, however I may be able to get you guys if you're up late.

[Tyr]

L2P is such a standard acronym that I'm pretty sure there's another team with the name or Learn2Play.

I just need a heads up of when we play. There's probably 2-3 days I can't make it in the following weeks, but besides that I'm pretty good whenever as long as it doesn't turn me completely nocturnal..

[John Doe]

I do like Two-Part Trilogy, though.

Then I switch to that. I liked all the names on my list equally well (good job Vad), and anything is better than LagTime. "Hey Riot, 'member how everyone complains about your servers? Yeah, well we thought to name ourselves after that! Clever amirite?"

Oh, I literally wasn't even thinking of Riot's servers for that name. The thought process was "Everybody always says they were lagging when they die. Uhhhh... LagTime." It took maybe five seconds to come up with the suggestions I put down, so it's not like I'm super attached to them or anything.

I kinda like Two Part Trilogy (it is witty, even if it is a trope), but, again, I think the name should have SOMETHING to do with who we are as a group, either as a reference to Chubbs or to League of Legends or the fact that we all hate you.

That actually is a reference to our group.

I'll let someone else type it out.

Shifo explained it. I'm less eh towards it now.
