So much cool new artwork. My cup runneth over.

 

[Black-Wind]

The hell?

My words exactly when I saw him pop up mid. :/

And I'VE TRIED HIM MID! Once ... against a Brand. That hurt me so much I haven't played Wukong since.

Which ADC benefits from Runaan's rush?

edit: nvm, rush, misread

 

[garath]

None? Kalista maybe but I was never a fan.

 

[Neol]

Yea I guess Kalista or Twitch.

Its not a great choice though. Rather have a BOTRK first.

 

[zkylon]

i think some ppl rush it on cait?

not sure

 

[Bacon]

Sort of. Still gotta get bf first

 

[Newt]

Don't rush hurricane if you want to do dmg.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I'm kinda gonna miss the old Darius splash but that's amazing

 

[Newt]

You win this round.

 

[zkylon]

how didn't i think of that

 

[Quonny]

Those are the apology splash arts for the Chinese ones.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

renek splash is awesome. all these splashes are really high quality

welcome back breezy

Swain does indeed have the best splsh

Thanks zky

 

[Stone Ocean]

Well then, Rageblade Trist is literally garbage.

 

[Fracas]

Well then, Rageblade Trist is literally garbage.

I've enjoyed it in the handful of games I've played her lately.

I really miss her S5 kit though. The caster-hypercarry combo was a blast to play.

When is it better to take Ghost over Flash?

The only champs I see with Ghost are Olaf and Pony (And that one feeder Jinx in that one game).

Those are the only ones, essentially. You might see a Tryndamere with Ghost too.

Nasus can take it too sometimes but yeah flash is better than ghost like 99% of the time

 

[23qwerty]

ghost on nasus used to be standard until people realized the flash cane is too strong

 

[Envelope]

found your problem

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Trist is already hard pressed for damage as it is, Rageblade makes her mid game even worse and her late game not that much better. Without IE you deal zero damage to tanks until you get arpen which you're only gonna get as your fourth item or so, but then you sacrifice a BF item and your damage again goes to shit.

I'm never building this thing again lol - or play ADC in the foreseeable future, holy hell that was frustrating.

Is anyone seeing 5-15 minute queues for silver on the NA server recently? I'm assuming either fewer people are playing the game or Riot adjusted the system. It (plus last-second dodges) makes it even harder for people to grind ranked games.

I thought silver would be where a lot of people are, too.

 

[jerd]

The normal I just played was the longest queue I've had in a while and it was like 5 min. Mostly been around 2 min or less. I actually thought queues were getting faster

ever since i started doing solo q again, my queues have been longer on average than with rex or newt, during the same time periods

it's actually gotten worse this week

 

[Blizzard]

I figure key fragments have to be resetting soon. I opened my first 4 chests but now I'm up to 4 new chests and still 0 key fragments.

 

[zkylon]

i like these skt designs a lot, you get easyhoon, broccoli hair, more appropriate champions for bang and wolf (i guess alistar is ok too but i love that tahm kench design) and elise just looks adorable

33 min victory
11/0/8, 247 CS (44 higher than the next person)

S... What does it take to get S+?!

I don't think it matters what your teammates did that game -- it matters what Riot expects (or the average is) for your specific champion. And maybe your specific role.

KDA and CS is just part of it, but you also have wards purchased/placed, items bought, damage done, game time, etc. Any or all of those might be a factor as far as I know.

Random example, I got an S+ today:

you actually do damage instead of ksing everyone

Edit im dumb misread.

 

[Fallen_Hero]

He was support and he did as much as his adc.

send a link to the stats for evaluation

Edit: your shame is now immortalized

Calm down.
No need to flip out once someone disagrees with you.

I'm flipping out.

I suppose so. Irelia is my main, but I rarely ever get a perfect game with her.

Try again

 

[Fallen_Hero]

I'm flipping out.

newt don't outflip me man. this is my flip to take

where the rest of the stats at. what are you hiding

 

[Luigi87]

Fine, fine =P

Try again

Looking at the game summary on op.gg, some guesses:

• Your kill participation was 51% (my S+ had over 60% but I was support)
• You only placed 12 wards in 33 minutes. Even the Darius that got stomped placed 13 wards.
• You only bought 1 vision ward (maybe you needed 2 or something)
• You didn't upgrade your trinket (this isn't strictly necessary, but a bunch of people seem to think it helps)

When I googled it, some people were suggesting Irelia S+ is pretty tough to get.

Hm, you could be right about the warding. I def. need to start buying more Vision Wards, especially when my first is taken out.

my next guess was gonna be kill participation

S is a good score by any measure though

This week has been really bad. Monday night I complained that I was in queue for almost 15 minutes (with one dodge thrown in there h 5 min before, 10 min after give or take) for ranked. I'm only gold IV. This was prime time 7est too.

Fine, fine =P

Warding more would have probably gotten you the +.

 

[jerd]

Warding super important to those grades I think. I get Ss quite a bit and ward and farm is practically all I do as a jungler

 

[remist]

I think it must be different per champion or compare it to an average performance per champion, because I get S's all the time on my Zilean for average games and have a hard time getting it on nidalee even when I hard carry.

 

[Ferga]

I've gotten 2 "a player you reported has been punished" this week.

I wish I knew who got punished for that extra satisfaction.

 

[Calvero]

Poppy is still ridiculous

 

[Stone Ocean]

Poppy is still ridiculous

Yet people are slowly forgetting she exists, just like Fiora

Tanks for that, Ekko.

 

[Talents]

What do I even do in these situations? Today has probably been the worst day I've ever had for leagues games.

Don't worry.

I trust he'll get wrecked next patch.

Just gotta move on and don't look back.

Spoiler

Also blame trynd and elise

You afk at fountain while trash talking the weaker players on your team.
