Guess who got a 2/10 Yasuo on their team who disconnected for 10 minutes during their first placement match?

I'm not a fan of the dodge life. I only consider dodging if I get paired up with someone I wasn't a fan of from a previous game.
Xin is going to be crazy if those changes go through
no no
op.gg them and see if they've been going like 13/4 in the past games or not. it could just be a smurf climbing
Yeah for sure those are some huge buffs for a champ that's not terribly weak atm

poor aatrox. He should get a rework.
True forgot about op.gg and lolking.

Jhin alt skin looks alot of Justice from Afro Samurai.
The ghetto way is to hold down pulverize key the second you see his headbutt motion go off and don't let go. Once the headbutt connects pulverize will go off a fraction of a second after.
The advantage is that it guarantees the headbutt+pulverize combo. The disadvantage is that during that fraction of second between headbutt finishing and pulverize going off there's a good chance you'll push the target just slightly away which can cause teammate to miss skillshots and sometimes if you started the headbutt too close to the target pulverize will go off out of range.
But if you playing with moderate to high ping or have difficulty pulling off the headbutt in general it'sa pretty solid little cheat.
Xin on PBE is stupid right now. I feel like this buff is going to backfire. Once you factor in a sated devourer Xin will be dealing an additional 100+ damage every two autoattacks. It's a great buff for people who like to play AD Xin, but W's passive interaction with Sated is going to fuck this up hard....
Man I'd love a Xin Zhao rework. I feel like he's one of those champions that could be really something if they kept his simple mechanics but gave him modern champ design.
That's actually a pretty good placement from g5. Well above average if i had to guess
Well from going 3 - 7 (We could have won the last game but the Darius... Jesus the Darius top was he BAD. Died to Graves 3 times before the 6 min mark or so.) I guess it isn't the worst. I did expect to drop into Bronze.

silver from g5 is actually great. I got some friends who went g5 to b3.
Fiiiinally got my first S rank! As Ahri, of course. Feeling good, gotta say. Against Heimer especially, who I've utterly hated going up against since I started the game (not as much as Annie tho) and a sort of rough start to that match, it feels even better. All the time I'm putting into the character is paying off! Probably.
Really hope I get offered a decent Ahri skin tomorrow.

You get to pick first before banning? Sorry it's my first time to play ranked in this new mode.

its just 'pick intent' to tell your team what you want to play and discuss strategies
I'm getting there.

Me too lol.
Cool. So we get to change champs we pick later? People keep dodging because they don't 'lock in'.

Supports be like "whats that strange wing icon on Mid and ADC names"
Do we know for sure that they've changed how placements/MMR are calculated? Seems like every game I play in normals most of the S5 silver players I'm matched with/against are bronze now.
I mean, it does make sense in a way. When you actually looked at the ranking splits gold and silver was significantly bigger than they should have been.
EDIT: I've been having some really rough luck with Skarner. Seems like I just can't get a solid team with me.
EDIT2: Oh, I know why I've been losing with Skarner. One terrible mid Azir after another. That explains it.
Okay. The state of the game is way more shit than I thought it was before putting games in on the new season. I really just cannot believe how much worse the game is. the directives for the keystone masteries is awful. Introduces way too much power creep but it comes as flat damage that scales wildly unevenly across different champions. Mobility creep is awful too. Absolutely unreal, and it's a mix of the current champion imbalance combined with masteries and item changes. Strongest champions are the most braindead ones. There's no inbetween on bruisers anymore either. People are either super tanks or they just blow people up. Just hate it. I used to welcome the attention of Riot towards tweaking the game but things have just gotten out of hand and now there's all this overdesigned gunk ruining the game, and while they continue to whittle away at making keystones "balanced" the game feels like it's filled with more unfair champions and moments than ever before. Not going to see any of this stuff fixed anytime soon either. Next patch will not help at all either. Zero changes for stuff like Graves is just like...how? How?

Holy shit jungle graves fucking hurts.
Edit: Is it me or is shen more popular. Fought him at top lane 3 times in a row.

huh, I've owned Vlad for a long time but never even bothered playing him til tonight. I kept trying to tell the new queue thingy to make me mid. nope it decided to make me Top (my secondary) every time
[edit - how to quote image so it can be small??]
I dont wanna lose my nice shiny Silver border (from being Silver last season). I have feeling when I do placements I will be dropped into Bronze where i probably belong

How do you go 0/0/0 and win

I just wanna know how to win tbh... Never mind 3 in a row
He's a god obv
(no that match went 20:34 so clearly the other lanes were snowballed, he kept it tight, and they surrendered)
Graves nerfs are coming but they kinda weak considering how blatantly op he is rn
Definitely liking Jinx, even though I accidentally screwed up my weapon switching a bit. Got a Heimer who went off on me about how useless I was going to be and told me not to get near his lane for taking her and then he goes 1/0/1 (with bot help) to my 9/2/4 after a 21 minute game, lol.
This is literally the first time I've ever heard of anybody complaining that Jinx was useless.
Specifically, it was 'ADCs are unnecessary' and 'fk jinx', lol.

I am gonna have to start dodging when I sense shit aint right.
Got grouped with someone who wanted MID but got BOT. He begged and begged and acted like someone was giving it to him regardless even though they told him no. I start flipping through Sups and he asked me to Lux so I'm like "Ok :/"
Game starts, seems like shits going well. He picked Kat but I have seen strange shit go down in Bot lane so w/e. We leash the JG and then ... he goes Mid and now it's 2 Mid, 1 top 1 bot. Then I realized he asked for me to Sup with Lux cause he planned on pulling this shit (I love Janna but she can't solo a lane ..) .
We won because the other team wasn't great and their MF thought they were Trist and could solo our base when we're all in theirs. (I've pulled that off with Trist before ... feels soo good)
Damn head aches ...
Yeah, Jinx is awesome.
Nothing like those across-the-map double kills, preventing the emeny team from getting Baron cause you killed their tank and fighter from your base!
Too bad my team was feeding hard to a troll team of tanks on in that fight :/

I can see where you're coming from with keystones.
I'm still having fun though. You feel more powerful earlier, and I suppose that if their intent was to shorten games, the keystones were part of it.
