I've played 18 games of ranked so far this season. I always queue jungle as primary. Thus far I've gotten jungle 7 times. This isn't even including the dodges. Tonight for example, I had 5 dodges. I queued bot (my secondary role) each and every time. Most of the time the wait is less than a minute. There's absolutely no reason I should be getting a secondary game with less than a minute of queue time.
There is something seriously wrong with their primary and secondary algorithm. I'm getting very frustrated. This is a 40/60 split. Not what I would expect when I'm presented with choices called "primary" and "secondary".
I can carry from adc position but not when the support is constantly going in and suiciding. I've had almost as much as I can take from bot lane solo.
And I need to add a Silver nidalee jungle without a single nidalee game in his history for dodge candidates. At this rate I'll be dodging more than I'm playing.

Staples is the biggest indoor stadium in LA, second biggest in California. 18,000 or so people.

Gib lightning champ plz.
Throw me a pm when a lightning champ is being announce, I won't tell anyone. Just sate my thirst.
Nasus is very vulnerable to being kited. One of the things I find interesting is that even though Nasus scales up his late late game is sort of weak because of how people can kite him around or gang up to burn him down. You see a slight dip for Nasus win rate past the 40+ minute mark.
It's a pretty surprising venue choice, given that most of the other locations are stadiums. I don't really know how much an event like that would fit me, but it's tempting to go.

fwiw, Worlds semis and the final were the first esports events I went to. It's a different and really brilliant atmosphere watching it in a venue full of people. I wasn't quite sure what it would be like watching a screen in a venue while people played games but it really surprised me how enjoyable it was.
I was in London for Origen vs Flash Wolves when Soaz got the pentakill. It was incredible. The atmosphere was really great and I met a lot of cool people there. If it's nearby and you have the chance to go you should. Definitely going to try and go to one of the stops in the US. Shanghai would be too expensive and awkward I think.

Nasus gets dumpstered by Renekton until mid-late. Honestly. I got my first S+ in that matchup and I don't have many games with Renek.
Yea but he picked nasus into Rene
The secret is that top laners are all terrible. You know why they call some top lane matchups "skill matchups?"
BECAUSE MOST TOP LANE MATCHUPS REQUIRE NO SKILL
I WENT THERE

i mean nasus can literally just ignore you for 25 minutes by freezing wave at his tower.

Yeah he doesnt need to get kills in lane to win. Just stacks. I got 1k stacks before it was amazing.

Computers and outdoor environments where it could rain... What could possibly go wrong, right?
Yeah, I was gonna say, Nasus into Renekton doesn't seem that bad but it really depends on your ability to get Renek to push the lane. Everything he does to harass you can push the lane to some degree but it's up to you to make sure it gets pushed as much as possible.
If Renek freezes the lane you will be a sad dog (and you will have to unfreeze it with E).
good thing about worlds being in america is that it's a friendly timeone for argieland

100% that Nasus is going to rush Frozen Heart or IBG. The goal is to make it as long as possible until he reaches that point, and to use your advantage to snowball the game out of control before he out-scales you.
You basically want to shit on him and make sure he doesn't get the chance to play League of Legends.

If I get a ticket for LA(they are going to be sold out in seconds right?) it would be cool to meet a fellow gaffer there.

Renekton isn't that good anymore. I know cause I play him I lot.
Renek is still a solid pick, the meta is just in a bad spot for him at the moment. Ranged top laners and armor-stacking tanks are in, which is not good for Lacoste Croc.
Ignite is viable again, but honestly Renekton just doesn't have the numbers, mobility, or even mastery use to truly be a lane bully in the way he used to be. If you look at damage dealt by top laners Renekton is frankly just not competitive anymore. This is not to say that Renekton is unplayable, but he cannot keep pace with other top laners when it comes to damage. He is not a lane bully like that any longer.

Thats the opposite of what a solid pick means lol

Graves looks awesome cait looks like a meme master with the fedora and monocle. And syndra looks cool but the hat is kinda weird.
Dude i would get shit on because im terrible at 1v1s but it would be alot of fun.
I was just going to play Nasus into everything
Basing your picks on the hope that your lane opponent doesn't know what your champ does is generally not a good strategy lol
Zky have you made Twisted Fate yet?
yeah i just gave her the most elaborate hat i could since there's nothing quite like what she actually wears lol
did mafia mf cos there isn't any proper pirate hat
jhin is my favorite tho lol
I mean I am in Silver 5. people don't know a lot of shit down here. I am pretty much carrying myself to Gold with Nami.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear! I am going against a top lane rene right now
will I win this one or lose my second game in a row tonight to rene?
just go jungle / mid. That should increase your odds to like 90% jungle.
yeah thats what caused me to want to take a break. Last time I was adc my support didnt even ward (he told me he was building Mana/AP lol). Nor did he concern himself with vision denial.
I was still nice and all that but in my mind I was thinking, "omg you should just go play Anniva mid, not support"
good I am happy for you. You'll get Gold
I am starting to feel a bit better now. I havent played for awhile but I watched some great LoL streamers and received some great tips /fix grammar

Why select support if you don't actually want to support? The mind fucking boggles.
Yeah I was so pissed but I couldnt direct my fury at him (cause I still needed him to help in my lane). Should've let him have it when it was obvious we were going to surrender
and you don't know the half of it hahahahah
