I remember I hit somebody in the face with an auto-attack crit for 900. I've never seen somebody so upset in LoL before
Two shot a Teemo before, 1600 + another crit.

"Was cursing, in broken english at his team, and at our team. made fun of dead family members and mentioned he had sex with a dog."
"Hope he dies tbh but a ban would do."
Teemo is still pretty bad unless you set your team up to exploit him. He's got utility. That's what he brings to the table. And his shrooms are still easily countered. Fun as fuck though.
Morde is awesome.
I am God.
The mushrooms are so easy to counter. It pisses me off. I set up a good sized garden in the river at bottom lane and Nidalee started to drop her traps right under my shrooms and used it to kill them. Some how she knew exactly where every single shroom was and she didn't put a ward in that area because I had an oracle to kill wards. It was fucking dumb.
She seemed to always know exactly where I was and it was very annoying.
I also need a good to team use Kennen with. All of the games I've played with Kennen so far have been msierable failures and I'm pretty sure its not me since I always come out with an even or positive KDR. This time it was because of a fed Shen/Evelynn. So dumb
Maybe that Nidalee was just using the same logic for her trap placement as you were using for your mushrooms? I mean, a lot of the good spots for either are the same.

This. Once you start really playing Nidalee you will be amazed at how many wards and mushrooms you will find just by trapping as per usual.

It makes me sad that they're thinking of removing the bounty from killing mushrooms. At least I'll still be able to get gold from using traps to find wards though!
I'm buying Twitch tomorrow and going Jungle-twitch forever
Spaceman stop buying my characters and then playing them forever.
So cruel.
Do you jungle with twitch?
N... No... I am a failure...
Then shut up. I'm gonna do Jungle twitch because I've never been more afraid in a game than when i went against a jungling twitch.
He could be anywhere, at any time.
And he was.
Well now you gotta explain how to jungle Twitch. Shit sounds super useful.
Step 1: if the other team has a jungler, follow him to golem/lizard and wreck him after he wrecks them.
Step 2: appear suddenly and destroy low health heroes laning
Step 3: watch as people cower in fear.

I would agree, but she was hunting my mushrooms, I guarantee it. She got three of them before I realized it. Her traps also never missed my mushrooms and I make the Green Lantern symbol when I set up shrooms.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.

To be honest in whatever games I end up in, actuals mouth-breathers are very few. Maybe one per game, two if I'm really unlucky, and even then the enemy team has one too. Getting four bads along you almost never happens, and if someone says so then they should be linked to that wiki page about Dunning and Kruger.
The actual problem here is that those bad players, whether they die too much or just outright leaves, define the match, on whatever team they are on - leavers outright screw the matchmaking over. Elo hell isn't being good and everyone at the Elo you're in is bad, it's that 90% of the games just aren't fun to play in because of said factors.
There was a thread on the LoL forums about a 1500 Elo guy who dropped himself to 900 just to see what Elo hell was. I should dig it up one of these days.

Not in unranked.
additionally, people are more likely to talk about shitty games than ones where they won handily
and they aren't likely to talk about their teammates at all in victorious games
when the teammate sabotages their efforts, though, it creates focused anger

yeah this has been my experience, even at lower levels.
mostly it's the leavers that really define the game. they get frustrated and pouty for whatever reason, usually explode in /all about how everyone is terrible, especially their team, and leave in a huff.
and then the rest of the game is unbalanced.
i guess i don't that much mind the bad players. it's kind of frustrating but not as bad as the leavers and usually bad players at least come by it honestly.
or the pingers. sometimes you get some dick who just wants to spam pings on the minimap constantly.

On the subject of hell, drafting puts me with a team with no tanks.
Not to derail the thread or anything, but I got an invite to the Bloodline Champions beta. I haven't seen a thread for it but I'll ask here; anyone else gotten in? Is it worth the install?
/ignore will silence their incessant pinging, Will.
This is the best of news. My ears thank you.

Common knowledge, but if it gets REALLY bad, "/ignore ally" will put everyone on your team on ignore. Useful when drama really begins to rear its ugly head.
I hate it when someone picks the champ I was going to select and then I forget to change masteries.
Worse than that is when I think I can change masteries and then don't hit save in time and end up with 0/0/0
I'm all like, "Why can't I kill golem at level 1?!"
Oh, it's because I have Sona's rune page with MPen, MP/5 and cooldown reduction and 0/0/0 masteries.
The two times anyone has ever picked Udyr before me have me left totally flummoxed. This is likely to happen a lot more in free Udyr week :S I haven't laned in ages.

I had some paperwork for that game I was given with a beta key. Reading through it I got to the part talking about no farming or leveling and the wasd based movement and never installed mostly based on that.

The game isn't like DotA/HoN/LoL at all. The comparison I've heard is that it's somewhat like WoW Arena, but I don't know how valid it is.
Game's fun though, and if you got in the beta I don't see why you wouldn't give it a whirl.

/mute /ignore Has been my friend in many games. Of course if you mute said annoyance because they are directing vitriol at you specifically, expect them to leave within a minute or two because "[ALL] <player> sucks, can't play worth a shit, and is somehow causing me to get killed when I rush in alone into the enemy tower with less than 25% health! I'm leaving, and therefore keeping my superiority intact by not letting <player> kill me any more!"
so why is it that in reading this thread, all of you guys are the awesomest players ever but whenever you solo queue, you're stuck on a team with four ridiculous mouth-breathers?
Yeah except at the end of a game it shows you stats. I'm not "overestimating" the guys on my team with 10-15 deaths to my 0-4. I'm not "overestimating" the number of wards I buy and the 0 my teammates buy.
As to the statistical improbability, yes over the long-term a person should end up being matched with people of roughly equal skill. But one person out of 5 or 10 can only tip the scales so much by NOT being useless, whereas a person BEING useless has a far far greater impact. Which means statistically, it could take many many many many games before that proper matchmaking place is reached. And so many of those games will be unenjoyable.

Start with expunge, then get stealth

oh i am terrible
whenever i solo-queue i have people calling me racial epithets within like 30 seconds
i am like
"do you mean to say that i am someone who feeds black people or do you mean that i am a black person who eats a lot? this phrasing is confusing"
additionally, people are more likely to talk about shitty games than ones where they won handily
and they aren't likely to talk about their teammates at all in victorious games
