Pls no no double axe catcherino
If you stop now then the people in your bracket will never learn!
For me it's half and half, I hook and either the person I'm with runs in and we either kill or get them really low or the guy keeps csing because i obviously threw the hook to harrass them.
That feeling when you lose your promo because a Katarina got a little bit too close and got flash-taunted by a Rammus. We had aced them the previous team fight.
Should've won 2-0, instead I lost 1-2 (the game after this loss was a joke and we had a rage DC).
I don't like how I was genuinely sad that I lost my promo. What is this life? What am I doing?

In my case last night it was more like, ignore the bubbled carry and attack the support, or go balls deep well behind the enemy minion line and into turret range. I managed to get the enemy kog'maw down to 1-2 AAs worth of life left last night by myself and all I could think of was the fact that had I picked Zyra instead, he'd be dead.
I think I need to A.) stop being a pushover in champ select and pick carry positions as much as possible and avoid support and B.) play with people on my friends list more. I only play about 5-8 matches per week and still I've lost patience for Kassadins who ult-initiate teamfights, Xeraths who anchor themselves at the head of the group, and Jinxs who never use rocket-AAs to harass in lane.
This sounds familiar.
Promo series are meant to emulate series in tournaments!
It's like the taste of the pro life

Not every bubble is meant to be followed though.

Hey Summoners,
Over this week and next week, we'll be kicking off a series of posts that discuss some of our high-level philosophies when it comes to preseason and this upcoming season. You should be able to find our discussions going forward on both the forums and on reddit, but here's a basic overview of some of the changes we'll be making.
With the season coming to an end, we've been hard at work figuring out what's next for League of Legends. With preseason the closest thing to a lull between competitive seasons, it's the perfect time to make big changes to balance and core gameplay mechanics. The Live Design team has been listening closely to player feedback throughout this year as we take a look at some of our underlying game systems. Ultimately for this new season, we're on a quest to refine League of Legends while also creating a deeper, clearer and more satisfying player experience.
So, what's happening?
First, let me share this year's preseason goals:
- Introduce more gameplay and strategy when it comes to map vision and wards.
- Ensure all roles and positions can experience power-growth and progression in ways that promote skill
- Improve game pacing and reduce team snowballing
What are you changing?
The team will be sharing details on a lot of the specific adjustments to each system, but allow me to give a preview of what to expect:
- Xypherous and Xelnath (Wizardlock, Right Hand of the 7th Order of Obsidian Blackfire Ebonstone Dark Witchlords) will be coming by to talk about wards, vision and the new Trinket system. Fundamentally we want to shift vision from being less of a raw gold race to more of a strategic part of the game with deeper opportunities for gameplay. We're going to be doing a lot of work here, including a new item slot for specialized vision items, per-player ward limits, and more ward options.
- A new jungle is inbound – including new items for carry-style junglers, better rewards/gold flow, and a new fourth monster camp that will provide new clear routes and strategies while opening up the jungle role to more champions. Solcrushed will give you the skinny here.
- Support gold is going to be heavily adjusted to put more money in the pockets of duo-lane supports; we'll also be introducing new items (and refining old ones) to put that gold to good use. Along with this, we're making changes to help core support champions scale their utility instead of their damage to reinforce their unique identity. To discuss this change we've collected all 13 demonstones to summon Xelnath, who will likely destroy us all.
- Game flow and mathematical system changes will reduce team snowballing. Changes to tower and first blood rewards, assist streaks, dragon rewards, a revised brush layout and experience changes will all create an experience that constantly rewards good play. Our rabid equine FeralPony will be around to discuss these changes.
- Finally, ricklessabandon and FeralPony will be joining forces to talk about out-of-game strategy, with a specific focus on Runes and Masteries. Masteries will be revamped along with our seasonal update and, while we won't be doing a significant Mastery rebalance (except when targeting specific roles), we'll be aiming to offer more opportunities for diversity. For Runes, our core focus will be on creating more dynamic and balanced Rune options while smoothing out the overall experience of customizing your strategies outside of the game.
Tens of millions of players with thousands of extra gold, items and options in their pockets will uncover tens of millions of combinations and strats that the Live Design team couldn't dream of (even after months of constant testing!), and we're really excited to see what you'll think up. As an addendum, we do want to pick and choose our battles with these kinds of changes, and the systems we chose to overhaul are the ones that we felt needed the most love while requiring a season break to do right. There are other outstanding projects remaining, so this is by no means an exhaustive list of things we'd like to tinker with, but this post covers the ones we've targeted for this update.
Anyway, we'll be taking a couple months here to make rapid iterations to our new systems while fine-tuning these updates, so expect this to be a test of your evolutionary league skills. Balance will typically be a bit chaotic in the short-term but, with extensive changes like these, it's important that we get the right levers in place to get to a balanced state in the mid-to-long term.
In the coming days, we'll be following up with a series of posts on our upcoming system changes, so you can expect Xypherous and Xelnath to kick things off with vision changes. You'll also be able to join us on reddit for deeper discussions (no hard specifics!) as we reveal each feature. See you then!

Oooh new brushes
Very common at the start of S3. It's like nobody remembers. All it took was SotEL.

And just like S3 they'll quickly nerf every aspect until we're back to tanky utility junglers.

Gonna take a couple months off from ranked once the preseason patch drops.
People trying new shit, people trying new shit everywhere.

i carried with amumu xD. he is fun to play when not banned. i think i went 19-2. best ults ever.
yea same here. i pretty much quit already though. tried and tried to climb to gold and keep failing. just not interested anymore. playing borderlands again.
You're absolutely correct of course, but when I bubble kog'maw and my Jinx is within range for safe AAs I don't think I'm unreasonable in my expectations that the carry should put out some damage. I'm not expecting balls deep here, even a few AAs would have netted kills in my last game.
(Please God GAF play with me)
That's a pretty good idea. Except I really like ranked for the challenge and the better matchmaking. I haven't decided yet.

B-but me points and this guy just picked jungle Graves
The chaos is really interesting though.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
These new changes sound exciting. Sightstones helped alleviate the ward bot playstyle for awhile in the beginning of S3 but vision is just far more powerful than any item a support can build right now.
I want to believe riot is going to do right by junglers and supports but they've been saying this stuff for awhile now.
Probably here if I had to guess.
Gotta make sure it's not too close to laners.

They said the map required geo changes, so it could be a complete redo of what the jungle looks like.

But I'm a scrub, by the time I find a new OP strat people will be already abusing it and banning or hotfixing it.
Buff: Your single target spells also send out 2 adjacent spells that hit the 2 nearest targets.
Yeah, lets do that.
riot pls.
actually, fuck the AA one, lets make a caster version of it. perfect.
/looks at avatar
I dunno, you seem pretty quick to get on the OP stuff to me =P

Touches her early/midgame spike without hurting anything that makes her fun or strong late game.
Thank you Rito
So they're pretty much forcing you to commit to either Q or W, you can't have the best of both worlds. Nerfs aren't that bad, at least the AD ratio is the same.
