Low elo/mmr players love to blame jungle for all their faults. I think I heard "Jungle dif" most in my matches. Most of time it doesn't bother me, just mute and move on to next game.

To be fair you see so much jungle diff!
The key is to recognize it/acknowledge the existence of the enemy jungler in your play. If your jungler is garbage maybe now is not the time to push all the way to the tower! (But maybe it is so you can be a strong map presence to offset your trash jg). But also don’t let an enormous wave build at your tower because the better jungler might dive. And if you can, help your jungler ward and then collapse and protect them when they get invaded. It sucks to have to do this since you lose your own lane pressure—and it’s bad to do this if you have no pressure because then the enemy laner can follow and kill you.
I get why people get mad; it’s the bad play that’s most likely to spill over into your lane.
But (obviously), it’s completely rude and unacceptable to ever type anything or ping anything implying your teammates are bad, even when they are very bad. The most you should say is ‘hey let’s not contest this we don’t win 3v3’ or whatever. Don’t point out which player is the cause of that.

I think the biggest problem is that in all my time playing as ADC and support, I have always played as if the enemy jungle is omniscient and mine is AFK, because I have always known that it is not the jungle's job to win your lane for you.

I, uh, do not play with people who believe this.
The person I normally duo with has blinders on. Top lane doesn't exist, it's a two lane map.
Luckily they are pretty active and get us ahead over there but some games I could really use some relief from this 2v1
I really think they made dragons too easy. I could understand there being a niche for 1-2 junglers being able to solo kill dragon at level 4, but multiple junglers being able to do this is a real problem. Duo queues right now can exert disproportionately more influence on the map than they should because they make dragon much easier to control and setup. It's wild that a dragon can die in 10-20 seconds from a single player. Literally any vision advantage can turn into a dragon kill immediately. It's one of the big reasons why games feel so snowbally right now.

Hmm I think you’re right
I have definitely seen some level 4s solo dragon that have made me go “??????”

Early dragons are pretty weak in stats, so the value of the early game dragon is to try to put the enemy team on a timer for soul. It's not like last season where 2 early dragons was a lot of stats.

Because I haven't seen it here yet: MSI has been moved to July. It will take the place of Rift Rivals. Rift Rivals has also been cancelled moving forward, but I have a feeling that was a thing they were going to quietly slip out after MSI anyway.
I actually just tried Quinn since she's on free week and BE'd her almost immediately! I really enjoy her "I'm a roaming assassin pretending to be a marksman" playstyle.

Nah this is total corona virus related.
Sure, the MSI move is. But what I meant was that Rift Rivals was never going to happen this year, virus or no. Riot’s statement indicates that they’re done with that concept.

Playing top Illaoi against Quinn. Until level 3, I'm getting poked when I go in for CS, then I'm able to tentacle her a bunch and manage to get a kill offscreen (god bless tentacles). Meanwhile bot lane is getting murdered. Again and again. Then support leaves after a failed surrender vote.
Meanwhile I'm farming top minions (and quinn), I take their tower, then start roaming. Start racking up kills. Have this AMAZING fight vs 3 of them where I ult all 3 + ghost, leap around damaging guys and healing, kill one guy, another one joins in. Still leap around healing, damaging. Then as I'm almost dead, my ult comes off cooldown (yes, the fight lasted that long) and I get them all again and then destroy them.
Alas, I can't carry 4 v 5 and they slowly whittle us down and get our inhibs.
At least I made it a 47 minute game
Best Illaoi game yet. She finally clicked for me.
It's those moments that I really love with Illaoi. It always seems like everyone completely underestimates her ult.
@credeiki do you have a duo that can play senna adc/support while you pick a support such as zyra and be a carry? Know you like a lot of the mage carry supports that bully lane, and if you had a senna to play with that'd be the icing on the cake. I played rumble support once in flex que, it worked really good. Had I had a senna support I would have been in heaven.

I've played zyra as csing botlaner (maybe with senna support but I don't remember) but it feels sort of strenuous and stressful because you really want to poke and not trade autos with their adc, and having to balance your poke with actually csing is a lot. It's fine and I can do it and cs as well as I would as ad, but you miss out on a lot of the fun and benefit of zyra.
Also if I got a rumble support I'd be pretty annoyed. Played with a Twitch support the other day and I was also annoyed, but we won lane cause we were more skilled and they were doing something equally stupid.

rumble just harrasses all day with e poke. I'm in low elo in flex que and it was surprisingly effective. I was carrying the first half of the game with my ults. You play it alot like a poke mage, but your melee. Twitch support is something different. That;s just another adc that's not senna. Rumble works surprisingly well. It popped up in china.
I do wonder if the LCS is next, or if they'll go to remote play only.
Apparently the LEC situation broke literally right as they were about to go on air. I’m assuming they’ll be playing remotely next week.
LCS hasn’t said anything other than that they’re going to be playing without a live audience for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t be shocked if they went to remote play soon, however.

Bar the occasional smurf, solo matchmaking isn't usually awful in my experience.
When I duo with my wife, who is a baby support just barely out of bots? It's awful. Regardless of what position I pick (to be fair, out of a sample size of ADC and jungle), she will be laning against someone with a summoner level 400+ and Mastery 6 on their champ and get curb stomped.

Yeah the matchmaking isn't consistently bad but when it's off it's off horribly. I did a normal game Saturday that was balanced enough on both sides except at mid which had a never ranked level 30 on my side and a season 9 platinum zed on the other. The Zed went 28/3

Apparently one of the champions they’re looking to extend from top into the jungle is Teemo.

They probably don't have to go to remote play but I would think no audience is likely.

I disagree.
I miss his E already.
Renekton is a fairly simple champ to learn and pretty well rounded as is Garen. Ban Darius with either one of them and your lane shouldn't be too bad.
