    We've had weird stuff happen organically in our in house games too. Like Zen winning a game with all Phantom Dancers / Zeals as Teemo, for example.

    Do you ever have fun playing ranked matches?
    Sometimes, I don't post every single game I play here. Just the especially hilarious ones.

    Fiz do not take this the wrong way. But by the sheer virtue of you having the KING OF ASSHATS as your avatar and the fact that it is near impossible to not picture posters as their avatars... I get some joy out of your posts of misery.

    Well, I'd caveat that, but yes. I think a close loss with polite opponents (aka "decent human beings") is just as fun as a win, but really bad losses against assholes are considerably less entertaining.

    I genuinely enjoy seeing other players win because they played a solid, fair game for fun. And I'd like to hope they feel the same when I do.

    I just like to keep the avatar as a counter point to the "people" who keep spamming the joffery getting slapped gif. What the fuck is this place, reddit?

    Anyways I do have fun while losing, just not as much as I do when I winning.

    No one tell him. Just know that you need to watch A Game of Thrones. It is an HBO series, not sure how you can see it now but the first season just ended a month or so ago. Also stay away from any information on the series from the internet, it is full of spoilers.

    His name is Joffery Baratheon and he is a really well done character.

    Bot games are strange. On my lvl30 account, it's nearly impossible to lose - people are usually competent enough to beat them, hell the only time I nearly came close of losing one was when I had a player actively feeding the bots. Completely different story for my smurf.

  • moocowmoocow Registered User regular
    I lost a bot game once (used to play intermediate bots when I just wanted a quick first win of the day)

    now I play beginner bots for my quick first win of the day. No matter how bad my team is, I can solo a beginner bot game.

    I like to do that, but these days I usually have an IP boost going from smurfing on an alt account with a friend. I'd hate to waste the extra 50 IP you'd get from an IP boost on a normal game, so instead I lose the 150 IP by not getting a win at all that day.

    What is this I don't even.

    I only do bot games to try out a hero I haven't played before. Talon is fun and I like Nocturne but I'm still not high enough to be able to jungle decently with him.

    I do beginner bots simply because they're so much faster. Intermediate games you sometimes have to start doing things like split pushing because your entire team wants to act like it's a ninja film and line up one after the other in mid to get burst down.

    That is what normal games are for. Really though I find if I can't tell how to play a champion by looking at the skills then I will do a custom game with them to level six or so. Playing against bots just makes every hero seem godly.

    normal games are for playing the game "league of legends" in a not shitty environment because you can do a five man premade and not get matched against vastly disparate skill level opponents
    people who troll normal games are the worst

    Eh, I don't think you can get too mad at people trolling normal games. It is sort of the wild west of LoL. Anything goes. Not that I at all agree with that, but it is just my experience with the game.

    I'm not 30 so normal games are serious games for me. And whatever, really. I will never be one of those people. This is a team game and I absolutely will not join a real game as somebody I haven't played as before.

    I can get mad at people for trolling in any game mode - the entire point of trolling is to place yourself above your teammates and have fun at their expense, which is bullshit.

    That said, you get mad at a troll, the troll wins, so I try hard not to rage when trolled.

    In the one in a billion chance that:
    a. I am pugging 1+ slots
    b. we get matched up together

    Please don't troll my normal queue. Myself and the people I play with have just enough tryhard to make it a legitimate competitive enterprise, but not so much that it is no longer fun (cough solo queue ranked).

    Normal mode is where you play jungle Janna for the first time. Or jungle Cassiopeia. Or jungle Singed. Or jungle Nidalee. Red buff cougar is pretty fun. Jungle Talon will be awesome.
