I am physically present at the semifinals right now and I hope game 5 doesn't end to a team losing to their own reposition ultimate like games 3 and 4

it was basically a carbon copy of game one from yesterday except GG had an even bigger lead to blow lmao
I think their core is genuinely promising if they keep them together. Their highs are really high, and they've shown they're capable of incredibly strong mental by losing those unbelievably tilting game ones and immediately coming back in game twos with huge wins. I think they just need more time to hammer out their flexibility (they clearly had no fucking idea how to play a kennen comp) and salvaging games where their plan A falls out of reach.
Licorice was the reason they got to the finals and then the reason they got bounced. He just looked to be tilted off the face of the earth after game one. And then ghost Malph to end the series.

I was watching with some friends and we kept shouting "BUILD STOPWATCH ON KENNAN" and he never did. Both kennan games were throws.

there was no less than four "comically late flashes" in one game yesterday where it was like. my man, you needed to flash like three seconds ago to avoid this death
I know pros want to avoid using their flash whenever possible but that also entails recognizing when you're done for and not blowing it and dying anyway

God, the amount of pointless flashes hurt my soul. To be fair, half the time they were pointless because the other side counter-flashed.

been trying to play league again after a break, and if i had a dollar for every time my top laner died twice before 3 minutes and then decides to mald and run it down even though every other lane is winning fairly hard i'd be able to buy all the skins in this game. literally every lillia game i've played this week i've had someone who just malds and sprints it no matter what is happening in other lanes.
i wish riot put more time into banning these people instead of people who say fuck in chat. if you're 5 levels behind your lane partner and haven't even collected xp from a minion in 10 minutes you probably should just be banned idk, there's no universe where you can do that without trying to lose on purpose. people make this game so hard to enjoy playing at times.

I'm not sure how Pyke exacerbates the Yi problem other than letting him switch targets sightly faster? If your team is letting Yi get you to 30% one at a time he was probably going to wipe you anyway with anyone else backing him up.
The real oppressive shit are things like Veigar + Taliyah that just gets to cordon off the entire lane as a kill zone if they work together. Or, y'know, Yi with a dive tank buddy and a shield support. Yi's dumb alltogether I don't like him and his snowballing.

A handful of champs are broken on aram now. I've seen some real annoying Viegos, Qiana(sp?), and I've gotten to have some nasty games myself as Bel'Vath.

Speaking of broken champs in ARAM
Ksante's absolutely fucking nuts in ARAM.

Y'all need more poke champions if they're 1v5ing. Simply never let them exist above 50% health and they can't reset pentakill you.
Also probably stuns. Everyone underdrafts CC horribly in ARAM.

I'm not talking about 1v5ing, I'm talking about champs with resets benefiting so much from their team CC to the point where it is very difficult to counter them. Viego's invincibility during transformation can be pretty oppressive and CC-ing Yi after he's finished Duskblade can get pretty difficult as well as he's barely on-screen anymore.
But I also accept that ARAM will always have problems that can't be answered as the core map for the game is Rift and that's what the devs will focus on for balance purposes.
i'm just so amazingly tired of being endlessly flamed by people who also don't want to just go to the next game.
like i'm just playing normals, my midlaner gets solo killed by a katarina before i'm level 3, and then proceeds to get 98 cs in 33 minutes when we had no inhibs for most of the game. like whatever, it's a loss, i don't care. but don't vote no while also spending the entire game flaming me and voting no with your premade to make my life fucking miserable for 33 minutes.

Well, my normal playstyle for ARAM is just to have myself and my team of randos stay above 50% health at all times and never die. But sometimes that perfect plan doesn't work.
Pyke is a high damage hero with mobility, cc and a stupid long range grab that's hard to miss with on a straight lane full of people. And he has a reset ult.
Yi is Yi.
Having one sucks. Having both sucks twice as much.
only in league can you be 2/1/2 when your team has 5 kills and your bot lane starts relentlessly flaming you for being passive and being useless after they got ganked. said gank which occurred by the rammus that i spent the previous 10 seconds screening in the tri bush right next to them before i had to bail out due to hp so they could retreat, pinged retreat on them multiple times, they don't retreat and go in further, get doubled and decide i should go shoot myself in the head and spam bait pings on me. proceed to run it down and eventually let the ez have 15 kills while voting no on all surrenders.
what a great first ranked game of the season man, idk.
edit: i'm 2-4 right now in placements and i've been ace or mvp in every game but 1. last game i was 5/0/4 at 10m and my *entire* team is flaming me and ping spamming me because they apparently assume i can teleport around the map to save them. tbh they should just remove jungle this role is hell.

how the fuck do these people keep popping up in my lobbies
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
my last 3 games i lost 4v5 when my adc quit, i had my adc dc for 15 minutes and we made a gigantic comeback down 10k gold to win, and then another game where my adc quit.
my ranked experience is, as always, a billion times less enjoyable than normals because people have literally no mental in ranked it's crazy.

I finally did it guys:
And because I didn't realize I could get executed, I just never died. Whoops!
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
i've never had such a bad time in ranked. 2 games today, one with a 5 minute ragequit from the adc yet again, my 4th in 12 matches, and one with a fiora who, after i spotted her a 4 kill lead, lost approx 6 1v1s vs gwen, a matchup so bad for gwen that she shouldn't even get to play the game and we just lost because nobody could match her in the lane.
i'm just so tired. i feel like it doesn't matter what i do in every game i play i have zero impact on the outcome. no matter how ahead i get my lanes no matter how many objectives i get everyone mental booms and throws matches for no reason. i literally haven't won a game that i didn't singlehandedly drag my team to victory on and it's driving me insane.
edit: my next game illaoi died 7 times to a trundle before 8 minutes, 3 times before 3 minutes. like, die level 1 before minions, die level 1 post tp during minons, then die instantly on the walk back still level 1 to level 3 trundle.
yea i guess i'm just permanalty cursed to live in silver 2 now, was finally 1 game away from silver 1 and then my team won an invade 5-1 with my top nasus getting 4 kills. at 10 minutes he quit the game because he got ganked twice.
i'm at like 30% winrate, this is such a bad experience. but every time i play normals these days i'm against some fucking turbo smurf ridiculous bullshit which is also not fun at all and i just don't understand why the game is so bad right now.
Remember support items also got a bunch of tweaks, with a new Echoes of Helia being like the old Athene's with its charge system and bonus healing. Moonstone is now kinda like Nilah's heal sharing passive, and Assassin mythics have been tweaked, too (Ghostblade replaces Prowler's Claw and Duskblade is now untargetable instead of invisible).

couple games into these changes, i think they're extremely bad. yomuu's alone deserves hotfix nerfs, thing is just absolutely giga broken.
lillia can't exist into anyone with it, tanks are absolutely meme status into ap damage now because force of nature was the only even halfway decent item, and on hit adcs are impossible to play against they just utterly destroy you. idk man, like i just hate that the jungle meta is now functionally a bunch of stupid ad assassins and the few tanks that are broken enough that they can oneshot whole teams in udyr and amumu.
riot continues to be fairly bad at their jobs, i was playing ranked but i think this entire patch is going to be unplayable at minimum, and my normal games usually have plats through masters in them when i'm silver 1 so they aren't fun either, probably just going to take another couple month break from league at this point.
edit: literally haven't won a game of SR since the patch, just... so dumb that riot does this shit in the middle of a split. why even add the concept of the two split system if you're going to totally scramble the meta in the middle of them? i just can't climb to gold now because of these changes and it just sucks so much.
up to 12 straight losses, i cannot wait to finish this stupid season pass and just be done.
The old DeltaFox squad (Scarra, Imaqtpie, Voyboy, Dyrus, Shiphtur) are scrimming against TL right now to prepare for a silly series tomorrow vs Disguised Toasts team.

I didn't actually know that was the origin lmao
more practically, it means "tilting in a very vocal and often embarrassing way"
now she can pretend to be neutral characters in addition to champions!
my dream of hanging out in the raptor pit and ambushing the jungler
(minion dematerializer and syndra w apparently don't work, I haven't heard back on smite yet)
can't ult a minion, losers
Lol, why is my bottom lane always feeding? Would you play by my side?
Hey, Riot? Just put in a line of fucking code that doesn't let that happen.

Still 2000% less toxic than Rift.

i think the item is 100% fine, probably even underpowered in rift, but in aram it's so god damned annoying to play against.
