You're pretty ok too, big guy.
Curse would benifit from a better shotcaller. They are a pretty innovative team most likely coming from coaches/analysts. Quas is solid and voy can be with practice. Cop has come a long way and can actually do well. Don't forget mf is back.
Dominate is the only one I'm not so fond of.

Silver. Don't forget, you're here forever.
the thing i'd say is in silver, don't worry about team comp at all - just play the game, a teemo mid isn't gonna lose you the game when everyone is making a million mistakes constantly
CRS all ways gets fourth. It's destiny, you can't change it. To be honest thought the top sixth this split should be really competitive. I could see Complexity having a really poor record if teams just abuse Westrice.
EDIT: If this Xpecial thing is true I could see Saint coming back to replace Dominate. Dominate would be the weakest member by far and didn't perform too well last split like Voyboy. Hopefully this won't be the only change Curse makes but it does make Curse's bot lane top tier now.

The upshot of all these changes does seem to be that NA is going to be stronger and more interesting to watch than EU in the coming split. You have C9 as a "constant" to compare teams against, TSM and CLG looking to catch up to them with strong additions, while Dignitas and Curse hope to close the gap on the top teams partly due to signing new players. LMQ arrive, the Chinese newcomers expected to be competitve with most teams having dominated the Challenger scene. EG might have roster changes of their own - they've acknowledge jungle and bot lane as places they're considering other options. It is likely CLB will struggle, but they are at least new blood.
Meanwhile in Europe, Fnatic, SK, Alliance and ROCCAT will be unchanged and likely similar to where they were in the last split, but Gambit and CW will have to deal with big holes in their teams as a result of departures. SHC will have a new support and might be able to challenge the top teams with him, which is what's getting me most excited about EU, as I'm a big fan of MrRallez and have always suspected his support held him back somewhat. Millenium seem likely to struggle again.
I'm hyped for NA Summer Split but a sanguine on EU. Hope it proves to be fun to watch all the same, though.

He gets outranged and out scaled by Velkoz in every way. I'm not going to play on a team that doesn't even work well late game in the hope their team is better than ours.
They do completely different things.
this is a ridiculous way to think when you're in silver, there's a pretty good chance that velkoz would play awfully and your teemo would get fed as hell but then you'd still lose because everyone would make awful lategame decisions and get caught
if you're in silver you should just be playing games instead of waiting on dodge timers, it'd be way better for you
Similarly, wouldn't there be a pretty good chance the teemo would play awfully and the vel'koz would get fed, and then you'd still win because everyone would make awful lategame decisions and get caught?
I mean dodging like 5 times is only one game worth of LP so I can sort of understand it, but you might as well play them and accept the results or whatnot, unless it's a losing streak. In bronze and silver a lot of games basically seem to be a coinflip on what happens 35 minutes in.

Okay then, I believe Velkoz is the better champ.
What's ridiculous is playing with a handicap when I don't need to.
except you're killing your lp by dodging in perfectly win-able games
There is not some great disparity between Vel'koz and other champions. People can win with whatever and there are loads of variables. The game isn't decided in champion select.
don't you main nami?
shouldnt you be spamming thresh/leona for your elo if you believe in picking the better champ all the time?
dont hurt me pankaks

It often delays the results, but you still get it

But I'm not. I'm losing 3LP instead of ~20 when some chump has decided not to pick an ADC.
Re-read what I wrote. Teemo into a Velkoz and me being forced into my weakest role. I'm not moaning because I had to dodge this specific game. I'm moaning because I've had to do it os many times this week when I've ha dout and out useless comps like the aforementioned no ADC.
But it helps if you have a good team comp. We didn't.
I don't believe Thresh and Leona is better though. Leona's trashy, but categorically better? Nah.

32 minute match.
Is there a reason I'm getting stuck with players like this? Does Team Builder mode start MMR from scratch or something? I'm did more damage than the entire team combined. I had 3x farm the enemy Singed had at 15 minutes (something like 120 to 40) but the team was already down something like 2-12 (both my kills solo top).
It's been consistently like this. Someone always extremely heavy at a key position. 0/10 junglers, 3/18 Brand mids, 2/12 junglers, 1/12 ADC's with 40 cs @ 30 minutes. It's like I started a new account or something. Except the other team is usually pretty competent.
I suspect team builder mode at least partly started from scratch, since skill levels seemed to vary pretty wildly when I started.

ah okay. I'll just stop playing it, then. I like it because I can practice champs over and over until I'm satisfied with the progress...but these matches are otherwise a hotass mess. It literally feels like I'm playing with people that are still leveling to 30. The positioning mistakes, the inability to last-hit, etc. It's numbing.

dropped out of Silver II for the third time yesterday and now I'm back in promos. Maybe I'll jax jungle my way up.
I spam nami in higher ranks, she has very few bad matchups.

leaving the second best team in NA to join the 4th team in NA is prolly not the best way to reach top 4 in worlds.

Gleebglarbu new TSM support.
interestingly, the post makes it sound like they picked Gleeb and then approached Curse about taking Xpecial.
Which is very different to Xpecial's quotes.
I sense a beef.

I've been playing her every other game or so today. She's pure trash but I like the fact you're likely to have a duff laning phase so have to go and roam to help your team/get gold.
That's not bad luck...that's just stupidity. 3lp dodge
(unless you had dodged before)
