I play Normal draft things, not the random blind one where everyone calls lanes.
Also I recently started Ranked.
Just got Bronze 1 ... w/e that means.
Most of my ranked games were just as strange and in some I fed super hard cause I didn't know the match up.
Someone pulled out a Wukong mid on my Diana ... never laned against him but I realized fast that he's like Diana in that he dives in and does shit. But UNLIKE Diana he can do that shit WAY before level 6 and he has a disengage skill so he stumped my ass in. Tried to counter pick a Kayle top cause I was top and she shits on all my melee tops. But she was Sup ... the Zed ended up being top and I have never laned against one as Lulu so I got wrecked.
Ehh, w/e. More to learn.
And I finally got one of these.

I bet that the "american dogs" guy said the words aloud as he typed and then spat on the ground when he was done.
I played 3 games with my friend who's a legit noob pretty much and I'm not going to lie, the first 2 games I was completely blown away at how NICE everyone was. It was like I was legitimately playing a different game, it was hilarious cus the other team had pushed 2 of our inhibs down and got baron and they had an open nexus on us, and one guy goes "is it even possible to come back?" and the other guy goes "tough, but can happen if we really try!" I was like wtf world did I get transferred to, everyone on my team was like a wide eyed, uncorrupted nice person.
Then the next game I get the 'Murican Dog, lol.
Here's how I define it.
B5-B3 Lack clear knowledge of game, essentially don't know the basics.
B3-S3 Basics are known mostly but there's a significant lack of mechanics and strategic play. Even grouping is a struggle.
S2-GV Basics are mastered by this point. Teamplay is more common, but still missing in a lot of games.
G4-G1 Mechanics and strategic play are vastly improved but still lacking. Teams still cannot function as a unit completely, grouping problems continue.
PV-P3 Mechanics and strategic play are strong now, but usually players only have 1 or the other. This is usually my cutoff for considering someone as "good". Grouping is the norm.
P3-P1 Same as previous, but now real team units will start to form. People learn how to split push without throwing at this area.
D5-D3 This is where players will start to have both mechanics and strategy as strong points. Teamplay is extremely important and usually games are won by the better team more than individual players. The higher you get in this range is basically defined by how few mistakes you make.
D2- Everything better and even more emphasis on teamplay.
Can't comment on anything higher than D2 because I haven't been further than that yet.

You don't have to play purely defensively, you should just conseve mana and make sure your skills hit because of high mana cost. The way people do to mitigate this is to max W first since it's harder to dodge and it will be your primary damage skill. Last hit properly and you won't be needing to back due to your passive.
Edit: a doran's ring or two could also help but if against hard matchups just take shield.

I would put GV in the next tier to just summarize Gold in general, and make your S2-GV tier S2-S1.
The hell?

Had a string of games recently where we had an AP top laner, skewering our team comp towards a more magic damage focused team (even our jungler, picking Gragas or Elise).
I know the argument is going to be that this type of stuff doesn't matter in low elo and you are right to an extent, but when your Top Laner is a Vlad that gets camped and the only source of physical DPS is a Jhin (who is pretty bad against tanks), you're going to get fucked by MR itemisation.
I'm already iffy about carry or bruiser top laners, but I can deal with it. AP Top Laners I've had like Lissandra, Vlad and Rumble end up allowing tanks to be magic damage sponges because we didn't snowball and end early, cause this is low elo where people just let late game happen and you have a 300+ armour and 200+ MR Maokai and Sion fucking your team.
JUST PICK FUCKING TANKS TOP LANE, JESUS CHRIST. You don't need to carry every fucking game. I'd like to pick Carry Top laners, but I'm smart enough to know Tanks are broken and I can be feeding my arse off as a 2/10/19 Maokai, but still be useful in teamfights cause tank items are broken.

Still getting the Maestro and Bugplast errors with the client on 6.7 and after repairing on latest Win10 insider release (so a newer version than when I originally posted about it a few weeks back).
There's nothing from Riot on this from what I can tell yet a few different posts on Reddit moaning about it too.

That really sucks. Does running it in some kind of compability mode fix it?

Had to go back to Morg for my climb. Didn't realise she was still this strong / people know how to play around her.
Not tried tbh, although it did only start after one of the recent Insider builds - which eventually become the build everyone else uses after a few weeks - yet the issue doesn't appear to be widespread given W10s popularity.
The actual issue only ever occurs when on the client dash as well, rather than ingame. It's just annoying when I'm not FP in draft and have to incur a wait penalty and possibly LP loss because the error pop-up doesn't let me pick ;_;

grats.
a reminder that I'm not going to get back to where I was if I don't play the fuckin game. I think I've only played about 15 matches after placements this entire season. I really need to get on that. Having too much fun with my Vive and it seems like every game I enjoy playing is a massive fucking time sink. Nothing can be picked up and simply played well anymore. Hard when you have real work to do, a real social life AND every game seems to need an hour minimum to accomplish very little in progression.
sigh. this would all be much simpler if I only enjoyed 2 games.
LoL is mostly my only game too. I get about an hour a day on weekdays - if that - to play which I usually give to a single lol match. Weekends I'll sometimes get an extra hour or two during the day to play something but frankly I usually give that to lol as well haha.
Once the baby is a little older I'll have more time I'm sure. Wife doesn't work anymore which is a big contributor. She used to work 4 nights a week so I'd get to put my oldest son to bed then play a few hours till she got home. Not anymore.
If you guys value your game time, avoid having kids for a bit

I need to get to some place like that. But I play a fair bit of Diablo 3 when new seasons start (known time sink), Dota 2 and League (massive time sinks), Elite: Dangerous (fairly significant time sink). In fact, the only games I play now that aren't sinks are on my Vive. Every game I can think of maybe playing (Dark Souls, Path of Exile, No Man's Sky)...they're all massive time investments (or will be upon release). Feeding all those needy children with about 2 or 3 hours of gaming time is just an exercise in frustration. As a result, I make little progress in any of them. IDK. Venting, ignore me.

I see.
I see how you view gacha games. Not real games.
I thought you were cool.
Oh yeah. I did forget the 6 hours a day of Granblue on the bus, sitting on the couch with the wife, watching TV, in a boring meeting, etc lol.

Very viable at least a season or two ago. I've seen voyboy play it at least.
A little confused here, just finished a game with Yi, according to the game I got an 'S' rank, and the most kills, minion kills and tower kills in the game (finished with 22 kills, 7 deaths, the second lowest on my team, and 8 assists)
Two of the other team added me as a friend even though we didn't communicate a lot. And yet on my team, right at the start I had someone in the same bottom lane as me constantly having a go about various things, and telling people to report me - is it generally accepted that Jinx should be allowed to get all last hits in her lane?
Also in mid-game, when I had only died twice, someone got really angry at me and was telling everyone to report me for feeding, even though he had more deaths than me.
I've Twitched it (please excuse the music, I didn't realise OBS streamed iTunes audio too) in case any kind soul can tell me exactly what I was doing wrong. It's pretty depressing when your team wants to report you and you can't figure out why.

Yeah normally you want a ranged champion and a support/tank character bottom lane, the ranged champion will take the farm (unless the support champion has an item which shares the gold). It looks like you're low level tho so the meta rules aren't really fully fleeced out and no one really knows wtf they're doing. Most likely the jinx is someone who has a higher level account who knows the meta game but sucks so they made a new account to 'noob stomp' but really they just rage and cry for 45 minutes. I wouldn't worry too much about a report that low, they aren't going to do anything to you for being new to the game.
Well usually in the bot lane, there is an ADC (Attack Damage Carry) which Jinx is, and a support. I assume you're levelling your first account? The supports role is basically to hold the ADC's hand through laning phase and try and either get the ADC kills, or prevent them from dying until they get a few items and become strong enough to actually do shit on their own. The supports are not supposed to farm as that farm is left for the ADC. However in low level games you shouldn't really care too much about that.
Yi is most commonly played in the jungle which you most likely won't be able to do yet as to jungle you really should get masteries and runes first.
I see, thank you guys! There was a bit of confusion about who was playing where (everyone said ADC or jungle, I didn't care so said mid, then one of the people who missed out on ADC said they were going mid) and I'd already locked in as Yi.
Never played support before, tbh I've only played the very occasional game where I haven't played as Yi. Maybe I need to branch out a little more!

if it's particularly at bonfires, turning lighting effects to low. it's an issue with the PC version. even if not at bonfires, try it anyway!

im playing it on low and it still looks gorgeous
only performance problem are hitches during random saves which is pretty annoying but it's happening to everyone i hear, i think even ppl with ssds
It's even worse, it crashes right after it loads after character creation time, every time, even on low. The furthest I've gotten is to kill one enemy in the tutorial.
In other news, I've just ordered an i7-4790K.
Noo, I went pc for the better framerate, which is ironic considering it won't play at all. Too bad my pc was too bad.

I probably will some day, for super robot wars and bloodbourne.
i3-4340, so kinda weak but enough for everything I've played so far. According to some guy in the PC thread it might have more to do with the game than with my cpu, but cpu should still be a good upgrade.

There's some weird lighting issue going on it seems. The game doesn't seem too heavy, my i5 GTX660 PC is running it at high settings and 60fps no trouble. Sure it's not 1080p but still.
that's the same as mine
((( i3+ boosted 660, hopefully they can fix whatever the underlying issue is before i get the gameDobkeratops

If it's any consolation I also got the today game but can't play it.
Well, I could, but i'm waiting for the weekend to experience it firsthand with a couple friends (^:
Yeah it's hard to tell right now, but it might not be performance related as you say.
RIP, hope you have better luck than me.that's the same as mine
Ah, I see.
I'll get my new cpu by Thursday so I might get to play it then.

Recently got the bear and ... WOW, I have never had such an easy time against Susan!
Only other time I had a decent time against one was when I was Trundle so I figured maybe I should just use him but decided that I shouldn't be afraid to try something new and it paid off. SUCH a bs champ, I love it lol!
Got an early lead and kept it til he Raged AFKed. Figured it would be smart to start the lane by killing the 3 melee minions first and Qing him into my wave ... that worked so well I just kept doing it.
