btw: is it true that the LCS is riots way of forcing the western teams to practice and get better so they won't get stomped by the asian teams as much anymore.
Haha. If it was they'd never admit it.
I think "forcing" is the wrong word here. If there were mini tournaments every week, the teams would do them.
Its more about creating a formal league structure so that smaller teams can rise and so the salaried teams can play the game pro without excess burden (due to salary)
EU teams are pretty good, and dont need no "forcing" to beat asian teams

People were pissed because it was fixed. Both teams were disqualified.
I think the current league system is working against that. Riot are essentially supporting the best teams and creating a significant cliff between the pros and the amateurs.

Why the long case?
I really wish I could play some matches with one of you guys. I hate feeling like a shitty player.
I get the game, and I have been on a lot of winning teams, but I actually want to get better.

It sounds like you would fit right in.

EUW?

What?
He's asking what server you are on. EU-W = European West. Most people here are on the NA server though.

US East I think.

I have to thank whichever MF+Soraka that demolished our lane a month or so ago. I learned to play Soraka very aggressively and now she's not a ZZZ support for me anymore. DEM Es
How much LP do you usually gain in a match? I got 50 after 2 wins. Does performance in a match affect it? I stomped my last 2 matches.

Similiarly, the EU LCS has 12 games on friday and the usual 4 on sat and sunday.

People have this misconception that if you let her live, she can't do anything. Until they get tsunamied and stunned. And your team gets an ace and then they focus you.

First game of the day, ADC on our team quits 10 minutes into the game, I have no idea why
Why do people start games they know they can't finish

If anything he is less popular now.
Hitting Tidal Wave must be fun. I'll let you know when I get someone with it.

The story of Nami. All the potential in her kit, but just not quite there.
Maybe they didn't know they couldn't finish it before starting?
It's happened to me a few times, where I'll start a game and then get asked to pick my sister up from work or something. I didn't know going into the game that I couldn't finish it.
In fairness I always explain the situation and apologise for it when it happens and usually people are cool about it because it's just a normal.
That's all user error. I think she's strong.

In my country, its a norm for students/kids to rent at internet cafes to play game. A big bulk of the playerbase in my region is made up of those.
It really ticks me off when someone says "welp my time's up" then disconnects. They KNOW they cant play a full match so why even queue?? I wish nothing but to get them banned for at least a week. I know I got plenty other players banned though its usually for trashtalking. It really pleases me to see them post on the forum trying to weasel their way out.

No more solo queue today
I've gotten the worst of the worst so far for the day

We went over this. I didn't say Vi was a bad champion. Just that I don't like her kit and she doesn't do what I want her to well (lane).
Nami brings a surprisingly high amount of sustain, a good mix of CC that is both hard and soft, and decent damage. She also has very good build paths and can generally just get whatever makes sense. She has good poke in lane and can trade really well. Also, she's just fun to play. I like that

Relax, I kid
I like her kit a lot, I just feel like she's missing that 'oomph,' especially compared to the OP monster that is Thresh.PhillipCostigan

k, you got me. i suck at this game.

I jest.
But seriously, I don't think Nami's very good. I'm happy to be proven wrong, I bought her bundle because I thought she'd be awesome and I love her design. I just don't think she hold up against stronger supports.
I think Nami is a good support, just that her kit scales really hard on how well you are mechanically.

Why can't we have a queue where we pick what role we want to play before hand and it matches us with other roles.
Would stop 3 people insta locking mid whenever you join a normal. It's infuriating.
Especially if I say it first, then we have a Swain, Malz and Talon all lock in immediately and put mid in the chat after.
Urgh.

Because you ingrain the meta into the game permanently.
Seriously.

I called jungle, and picked xin
2 autolocks with smite lee sin and khazix
people are just assholes
You'd wait for fucking ever to find a support / jungle sometimes I would imagine.
And play Draft queue if you don't want 3 people picking mid and insta-locking ... worst case 2 people do that in Draft mode.
Yeah, then you just deal with the 'mid or feed' last picks
Seriously though, I rarely go blind pick anymore. It's usually a trainwreck. I'll do it if I absolutely want to play a particular champ for some mechanics practice, but that's it. Those games are usually so horrible. Draft pick is a decent game 3 out of 5 times.
This, but also
Yeah, and if you don't think people would just queue as support for shorter queue times and then call mid anyway you haven't played this game very much.
