    I'm still on the fence about whether I like seeing LP during placements, but getting the good old "we'll put you 2 LP shy of 100" after a win definitely feels worse during them (I should just be grateful the losses are -0). 2-2 so far, all stomps. Pretty fun though.

    Okay so @credeiki was like "play ashe, ashe is super strong right now" and I was like, yeah maybe

    6 wins later..

    I'm just glad that you seem to get vastly more LP for a win than losing LP on a loss.

    Feels like if you're doing well you're actually making headway and climbing, and one loss isn't going to wipe progress out.

    Soraka's silence is so good against Sylas, lol

    Just had a 0/1/19 game

    It tilts me to no end when the enemy team is Sylas, Soraka, Vlad and I am the only one who buys a healing cut item.

    Finished my Support placements at Bronze III 75 LP, which is acceptable! Went 5-3.

    Last night I unlocked a Lunar Revel event mission that wants me to either win a PvP match in Summoner's Rift (ARURF excluded) or get 80 K/As. Currently the idea of actually picking Blind Pick or Draft over and over until I stumble onto a team that can win stresses me out. Figuring out when to attack a minion for last hits is still a thing I am doing poorly.

  • Red RaevynRed Raevyn because I only take Bubble Baths Registered User regular
    I don't know if you've tried ARAM yet, but 80 k/a is 2 or 3 ARAMs, if that sounds more fun for you. You've got about 10 days to do it too, as that's the last mission in the chain.

  • SegSeg Registered User regular
    Seems like a decent idea, I had a loss in ARAM with nearly that many because I was playing a cat person who rides around on a mech and sprays fire.

    Yeah, ARAMs (or ARURF if it's legal?) will get you there pretty quickly anyway.

    (Feel free to add me on League if you want!)

    The mech-cat is Rumble. He's pretty unique, though I can't honestly say I play him really ever.

    Oh shit. Teemo's got some experimental rework changes coming to the PBE.

    His passive and his E (Toxic Shot) got swapped. He can activate E to enter Camo after 1s, and stays in it for 3-5s. Duration doesn't tick down while in a bush or standing still. W doesn't break the stealth. A little bit of damage nerf on the mushrooms, but the health on the mushrooms goes up as he ranks the ability up.... and his ammo on it increases to 3/4/5.

    Also his passive's damage (the on-hit and the dot) does 50% more damage while there's another poison debuff on the target. (Q's blind counts as one, as well as shroom damage.)

    This is possibly the least positive thing they can do. Let's just make Twitch/Teemo bot lanes a thing

    Then I can just smash my computer in frustration and go do something more fun. Like hit myself with a hammer


    In all seriousness has anyone tried the new conquerer out yet? For some champions it looks like a no brainier but I'm not sure of if it's better than existing runes.

    Last game I had included a dude who flamed non-stop and all game. Reported them and logged off frustrated despite winning the game.

    See this when I log in today.

    Even if I lose tonights games, it'll be just fine with me.

    Doing my promotion series on support for Bronze II, in case anyone wants to hang out.

    So I just tried Conq on Kindred for fun. I'm not sure if it's better than Lethal Tempo, but the game went buttery smooth for a win. I think I had 10 marks by 15 or 20 minutes though. The other team was good, but their jungler was a brand new NuNu player and had no idea what to do.

    Honestly, it does look like it's a bit of a Teemo nerf for the "full AP whoops you stepped on a mine and lost half your health" builds. Should be better for on-hit builds, though. Which is probably a good thing in the long run.

    Controversial opinion:

    I think he's a vastly healthier champion for the game than most of the stuff Riot has done lately. He has actual weaknesses and counter-play.

    Also, WOO! Speaking of the Teemo Train, rode into Silver IV top with him. (41 games so far this season with him, 73% win rate seems decent?)

    Also made it into Bronze II support via Nami.

    So I did this, and during one of the matches I ended up scoring an S- with Master Yi which is one of the 7 Champions I actually own. So I got my first Chest for a character I own and in it was a shard for Taliyah, who seems interesting. (Unlocking her would cost me 3780 BE so I am holding off on that.)

    Played a blind pick game with vlad. Enemy top lane was a Nasus who bought an Executioner's Calling for his first item. The enemy adc did the same. Some people just don't want others to have fun playing.

    That's past decent, 73% win rate is damn fine work! Has your Teemo philosophy been to splitpush only, give up and group, or a combination?

    Three wins in a row on Jungle Sej today; I'm comfortably out of the danger zone again. Phew. One of them had a successful baron steal -> enemy team wipe =)

    I still feel like I maybe need a more aggressive jungler for my roster, maybe one of the good level 2 gankers. But I think that if I just try to anticipate where they'll go, and countergank (or counterward), then I can have almost as much impact early while still being this really good tank lategame. I generally prefer playing tankier champs anyway (unless I'm playing Support), so I'm not sure I want to play an assassin-type.

    Are there any recommendations for more aggressive/better 1v1 junglers that can still build tanky for mid/late game, with some CC? Or am I literally describing an unobtanium unicorn here? Help me out, haha.

    Edit: maybe it's Dr. Mundo's time to rise again, I love that guy

    Xin, Gragas, and Jarvan IV all come to mind if those fit your bill. Shyvana's not usually put into that category, but I would. Warwick and Volibear are better duelists than people give credit, and Vi's getting a gameplay update soon probably.

    I don't know what it is, but Volibear jungle gives me the most trouble. You literally can't stop him it feels.

    His name is Jax and he is a god.

    Warwick, Trundle, Volibear, Jax, Lee Sinn (though tank lee is super troll I feel),Jarvan.

    Pretty much any of those

    Blitz is much like Yasuo, Ezreal, Riven, and Eve.

    When I am playing or someone on my team is playing them nothing works and they(I) int. Enemy teams are literally carrying 1v9 with them. I'm fairly certain it's a rule of LoL

    My flex queue elo is super super low--at least a full division lower than my solo q and normals elo--and I've been getting these just completely baffling supports. Couple games back I got a Thresh who couldn't hit a hook, but actually he realized it, started crying in chat that he was awful at Thresh and couldn't do anything, and then afk'ed out of sadness. No one said a word to him or pinged him--he just actually got so upset at his own inting/not hitting any skillshots that he gave up. It was pretty sad to watch...

    Since flex isn't positional ranked, I might play some mid to get out of this pit. Or play Draven, or something...I can really feel the difference in the way people play and I don't like it at all.

    Camp top lane Yorick because he is against a Teemo. Kill Teemo three times and leave Yorick to help rest of team.

    Before I know it he's died solo three times to Teemo. He begins rage pinging me every chance he gets.

    He admits in post game he's doing this to make people mad. What is with this game?

    How to Throw: Silver IV Edition

    https://youtu.be/roKj169ccs0

    Twitch picks up a virtual quadra kill at 35 minutes, and with 40 second death timers chooses to farm jungle camps instead of taking top two towers + inhib

    I beg in chat for anyone to go top, folks go after 30 seconds elapse, die, then Twitch blames me for trolling

    kinda wish I could erase games like this from my match history and perhaps living memory

    Silver IV 78 LP -> 0 LP -> 87 LP -> 25 LP

    Perhaps Silver IV is my true ELO
