I have recently seen something in porofessor that I had never seen before:
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Some my own fault (grinding Taliyah) and a lot just kinda... well I'm top damage carry and have a good K/D but can't carry hard enough vs *insert obnoxious early/mid game spiker here*.
On the plus side I made a Gnar cry by playing Jungle Quinn.
happened to me last week, it's horrible, you can be 13/3/8 and if your team just wants to sprint it and throw away every lead there isn't much you can do
edit:
the lillia one trick experiment is working out pretty well so far
up to silver 3, games are still kinda a meme compared to my normals
lmao i queued for a ranked game tonight, literally my entire team mental boomed 30 seconds after the minions crashed. i've never seen anything like it.
support accidentially stole blue, whatever, i smited bad, it happens. so he stayed a second to help with gromp but i was like just go it's fine. but that slight delay to lane had our bot laner non-stop typing for 5 minutes. when the support then decided to idk maybe kill midlane, i was also there and we almost killed their midlaner and then the midlaner mental boomed because, and i quote, "walking around ruining his lane" and he got run down by yasuo while typing 25 more lines of his screed and killed, then quit.
in response to this, my teemo top walked all the way bot side and stole all my camps while saying nothing.
and then, of course, the midlaner's duo held hostage and didn't want to surrender so it still took 18 minutes before the other team could finally win. legit the most insane i think almost everyone on this team should be banned team i've ever played with in my life, and i've played a lot of games of league.
i just don't understand it, there is literally no way that anyone like this can actually enjoy the game at all. just like.... find something else to play friends.
Dear god what I wouldn't give for a second ban to just delete Twitch from the game sometimes.
*poof* Welp there he is, in your backline and he just deleted you. Fun and interactive buttons.

holy fuck yeah
Yuubee was in my amazon prime satch
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
ok I finally broke an abysmal losing streak by playing....Ezreal??
idk if this means I should play Ezreal because even though he is maybe a little weak rn, he doesn't really require peel and apparently we just no longer peel at all, in this community (literally played a game where my team had Leona, Rammus, and Malphite...and they let Diana kill me as Kai'sa every time. Like not even the barest attempt to stop her. And I was zooming away with R+E+Galeforce--it would not have required a lot on my team's part to stun her for the additional 0.5 second I need to escape)
or maybe it means that now that I'm back in gold 4 I can potentially win on whatever adc and it doesn't matter if I play something like Ezreal who I have never played ranked and have barely played at all
love being at the elo where level 30 purchased accounts who have perfect vayne adc mechanics who def aren't boosting their level 400 sona friend land
what a great time, thanks riot i really enjoyed that 25 minutes of my life
I'd take that over the endless fucking bots showing up in my games. The past 7 games I've played have all had bots. That's not even counting the few games I dodged due to obvious bots.
Ya that happened to me last season, was constantly getting games with bot accounts who were losing their 10 ranked games before the account could be sold.
It sucks a whole lot.
Also, fun fact, sion ult scripting is still in the game after riot said they fixed it, had a sion 180 on me a few times in a ranked game, unsurprisingly level 32 account boosting someone else who won’t get banned.

man, who knows
Honestly Ez/dash adc's are so absurdly safe they feel like different characters to the current meta adc crop.
Though yeah, I agree, people are absurdly bad at picking tanks and actually disrupting dives. They all wanna play tanks that thrust a comp and win.
most current meta tanks want to go in, not play defensively.
like, the current meta tanks are all vanguards like zac, ornn, sej, amumu. they all want to go in and blow up a teamfight, and their peel tools are lackluster generally. even that combo leona rammus malphite that is 3 diving tanks. they all want to go in, hard. the game does not reward them for sitting next to their carry and hoping someone comes into them, especially with all 3 because they're just going to get poked out and you lose the fight without even having it.
basically if you want to play a normal adc you need an enchanter to help you (janna/lulu/soraka) or you're going back to the nexus unless you wait out everyone's cds. otherwise there's a reason that the meta traditional adcs right now are like, draven (absurd early damage), jhin (extreme range lets him participate without participating), and sivir (insane overtuned numbers on her aoe).
this is why i am a jungle main now and not an adc main, it's just not worth playing until you're at higher levels imo.

Having engage tools is good, but if that's the game state and you need to just stay on your carry, you absolutely should. It's not like Leona is punished for ulting on top of her ADC or Zenith Blade-ing to someone chasing one of her allies to buy space. Sometimes you have games where that needs to be your job: there's no need to land the perfect 5-man stun if you have no damage alive to clean it up.

every second engage tanks are standing around is a second the other team is either engaging better or poking them down
if leona is on top of her carry and the fight is happening, odds are very good she lost tempo on the fight and was hard engaged on by something and it's probably already over unless the other team is way behind or misplays

If no one can touch your 6 and 0 adc it literally doesn’t matter that they’re poking a support Leona.

if leona is on top of her carry and the fight is happening, odds are very good she lost tempo on the fight and was hard engaged on by something and it's probably already over unless the other team is way behind or misplays
totally depends on the fight
if your carry is better than their carry, it's often worth it to peel. Certainly in the game I played with 3 low-damage tanks, one of them might have come back to help. And sure, it's more fun to engage, but you can also use your E to go backwards! It's not like failing to engage is 'standing around'--or it shouldn't be, anyway
I really like playing with Ivellius on tanks because he 100% will e.g. engage on Rammus and then roll back around and taunt whoever seems like they might be killing me on adc. He peels very, very effectively on engage tanks, even when sometimes this means doing a defensive amumu ult to block people coming in, rather than to find their backline--and it works well!

Yeah, if you take out one of the enemy carries because they dove in and you locked them down. Then you lost nothing while they lost a team mate and then you clean up. Better than dying at the end of the fight as a tank because you locked down a back line damage source and suddenly you have no team left because they all died to their jungle and mid who jumped back there and blew them up.
I mean, I've been playing basically nothing but Akali for the last couple days and I'm super happy when no one peels because it just means that I get to blow up the back line. I can for sure kill them before they can kill me.
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to give into it." - Oscar Wilde
"We believe in the people and their 'wisdom' as if there was some special secret entrance to knowledge that barred to anyone who had ever learned anything." - Friedrich Nietzsche
akali is functionally unpeelable if played correctly tho
no tank is fast enough to keep up with her and she has insane ability to delay with her shroud. you need your own midlaner or top fighter to actually force her to run or die, tanks tickle her and then she's 3 screens away after oneshotting a squishy
lost 4 ranked games in a row, just absolutely horrendous team fails and people making idiotic plays. two games in a row where my bot lane gets double killed before i finish krugs. like, i ended up doing about 50% of the team's total damage in my last game, just no clue what on earth i'm supposed to do to carry these matches.
amumu does way more damage than an engage support like leona, he can basically still instakill adcs level 2 where leona has a very hard time actually surviving the all in due to a lack of damage, and his ult is way more devastating

leona being considered an engage tank only still greatly perplexes me
pretty easy to land, fast, long range root? point click stun that combos into a massive ult stun if necessary? what diver isn't gonna shit their pants at a leona that knows to keep track of their ADC?
huh I had another bit of success with ezreal, although lane was a little rough as I didn't think I would have to tell my support alistair "don't engage onto rakan and then walk slowly at kalista filling up with spears all before our first back, where I am sitting on a tear and also she's kalista, you idiot"
but yeah I should not assume competence and ought to have just said 'hey don't engage unless we get a friendly gank, I have tear and low dmg, sorry it'll be boring lane for a while.' But once I was able to decouple from Ali, who was garbage, I managed to have such a safe time of it and output a pretty solid amount of damage
whereas I somehow am not finding any success with Sivir despite her being one of my most played champions for years and years and also currently potentially overtuned and with a high winrate. Shouldn't that mean I do especially well with her...? I really don't understand. Maybe I just really haven't adjusted from lethality build playstyle to crit build playstyle

I have discovered why sad mummy is the number 2 support in the meta atm
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
love games where my bot lane has died 4 times before my first clear is over.
against a nilah.
with lucian alistar.
have lost 5 lillia games in a row, every one my lanes literally cannot stop inting. the nilah was 10/1 before 10 minutes, and down 2 entire items the lucian alistar are up under the enemy tower trying to fight. it's just fucking exhausting.

I will say trying to play from behind in this game is super boring
avoiding fights and just trying to suck up as much passive farm as you can is so incredibly not fun
i mean, if you refuse to be carried please don't play ranked
people who have to be the main character of every game and will sprint it down because "bro the nilah looks low" even though she gets a billion percent lifesteal and you're a full item behind her ruin so many games.
happened again, 10/1/2 nilah at 14 minutes what fun

It’s a real choice to add a dedicated harass ping to league but I guess lean in (I know it doesn’t mean that but it’s very funny)
I just hope this new ping wheel actually works, I’m so tired of pinging on the way and instead pinging danger because the ping wheel has has a mind of its own for a year

Just because it's tougher to do doesn't mean there's zero value in just sitting there being obnoxious for the enemy divers.
Alternatively everyone should play Poppy more. That stuffs literally every dive, ever, for all time.
