so you expect wins when you aren't playing better than the other team?

 

[kayos90]

I mean that they play better than i do. I'm not above that adimitting that i'm getting outplayed quite often. And that Silver 4 player likely has hundreds of mor games played than me.

Practice and play better

Don't play to win. Play to get better.

This is where I feel like riots initial placement system really fails people. Most get placed b1/S5 in their first season and just don't need to be there yet. Then they get placed b5, where they actually should be, the next season and can't get out and are frustrated. I kinda think everyone should start at b5 but I guess that would fuck their games up. Idk

 

[Orochinagis]

The new skins are pretty ugly , my lord.

 

[kayos90]

I think newt had a breakdown of players in a given tier that was fairly accurate.

I've played in bronze 5 (through means) and I gotta say, bronze 5 is not fun to play in. Was like 13-1, got a penta and still had a hard time winning that game.

it's a couple things:
- ppl don't like losing
- ppl rather blame others than themselves
- negative bias
- riot separating ranking from mmr is confusing

Maybe make people have mastery levels on x amount of champs first? There's gotta be a way to actually make sure people are ready to play ranked before queuing up instead of just diving in as soon as they hit 30. I know it ultimately doesn't matter but I just think it would save some people a lot of frustration

 

[Newt]

I actually recommend playing ranked as soon as you hit 30, especially if you want to improve. Players who play normals all day can't really improve (unless it's like learning a champ or something) because normal games are usually just troll fests with super unbalanced teams.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Thats it im redownloading league

Later tody

I agree with this. If people want to practice champions then in all honesty I just tell them to go Flex Queue if they really don't want it to affect their solo queue rank.

Going back on the Bronze 5 conversation. If I was placed in Bronze 5, I would have a really hard time coming out of it unless I played top exclusively.

Jump on discord when you do. It's about time for you to be knighted.

they already do that by forcing u to have x number of champions

in the end it's up to people to choose what kind of player they want to be

 

[Stone Ocean]

Holy shit that new Kayle skin is amazing

Also patch notes and shit

Q - Switcheroo!
BUGFIX Runaan's Hurricane bolts now properly deal Fishbones's bonus attack damage to their primary targets

This has been an issue ever since the start of S6, holy shit that took a while to fix

 

[zkylon]

glam kayle is great

 

[Quonny]

illaoi skin never

 

[zkylon]

those malzahar and brand and ziggs skins are weird

can't tell who's who

 

[BreezyLimbo]

NASUS BHFFS

 

[dimb]

those malzahar and brand and ziggs skins are weird

can't tell who's who

Ziggs is easy to recognize for me but Brand is just...??? One of the most egregious examples of a skin not holding the identity of a champ.

 

[Quonny]

also

holy shit those nasus buffs

 

[23qwerty]

yeah those nasus buffs seem insane

 

[Hydrophobic]

those malzahar and brand and ziggs skins are weird

can't tell who's who

Ziggs I was able to tell fairly easily but I actually had no idea that the Malz skin was Malzahar until about halfway through the skin preview.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I like the Brand skin because he looks like a Megaman boss

 

[Soulblighterr]

Uh...Is that total armor reduction on his e? Wut?

 

[Quonny]

Uh...Is that total armor reduction on his e? Wut?

Yeah, that's gonna get nerfed quick.

Honestly, it should be like 10% total + 20% bonus at max rank. 35% total is stupid.

 

[zkylon]

Ziggs is easy to recognize for me but Brand is just...??? One of the most egregious examples of a skin not holding the identity of a champ.

yeah brand in particular was pretty bad

i feel riot's been too loose with this stuff lately

those commando yordle skins are also way too samey for my taste

 

[kayos90]

Uh... Some of these buffs are clearly experimental... Also, Tank Akali is goign to come back probably this meta.

 

[killatopak]

finally played a game after a a few weeks break. Holy moly is dusk blade op. I literally(not literally, especially tanks) one shot everyone.

Edit: OH MY LORD THAT NASUS BUFF. Make it bonus armor at the very least.

 

[kayos90]

Yeah, some of these buffs are disgusting.

 

[Leezard]

Nasus is going to be very scary now.

 

[killatopak]

fuck. I dunno if it's riot or garena at fault here but I got dc midway through a game and I can't log back in. Like it's not even the reconnect page. I'm just stuck at the heimerdinger login.

 

[Soulblighterr]

Zkylon can you remove the white background from my avatar, please?

 

[Envelope]

might uninstall soon, normals are unplayable with riot's garbage matchmaking and none of the other modes are worth playing consistently


and these patch notes are not helping either, akali needs nerfs to her early game if anything

 

[Quonny]

come play fortnite

 

[Newt]

I mean, why even play normals? Just do ranked lol.

 

[dimb]

I don't see any bad changes on the patch notes, tbh.

he just said none of the other modes are worth playing consistently

Zkylon can you remove the white background from my avatar, please?

send me the original full size image over pm

Those champions are fine but if I were you I wouldn't worry too much about picks. Just play whatever looks fun to start out.

The information in the article is wildly out of date so it's not even really applicable to the game now. Generally speaking just try whatever is free for the week that looks cool.

That list so shit lol

Here's what I would recommend for a new player,

Annie - Support or mid lane.
Ashe, Sivir, Miss Fortune - ADC.
Malphite, Dr. Mundo - Top lane tanks. I don't play tank characters that much so, someone else can recommend more
Sona, Blitzcrank, Janna, Leona - Support.

This isn't a complete list, fyi.

All of them are pretty straightforward. If you are just starting out you might want to try out all the characters in free rotation anyway, to see which characters you like the most.

she's more of a bruiser - too tanky to get bursted but not quite full tank while still dishing out solid damage

the game actually gives you a selection of champions to play for free during your first few levels so don't really buy anything until you like them

after that you'll get different champions for free every week to try out, i'd suggest you just try what's free and buy whoever you like

don't spend money on the game until you're happy with it and the champion you're buying

Early Bird Guts the Worm

do you really have a mordekaiser desktop background lol

why

oh that hecarim skin is hextech exclusive, lame

hextech exclusive shit is the absolute worst

i play almost daily and i still only have 5 gems which i hear is actually kind of a lot?

such a shitty ass system meant to swindle ppl out of their money

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I HAVE MANY LEAGUE BACKGROUNDS SAVED OK

RIGHT NOW IT'S A CAITLYN STRAWBERRY CONCEPT

I have like 2000 wallpapers it randomly cycles through >_>

edit: My last game was 6 months ago, only 3 have been released since I last played? Huh. Could've sworn it was more.
