League of Legends |OT6| My AP Mid Can't Be This Cute

Yeah that's pretty much every game from my experience in P5 land. I guess not much changes between Silver and P5 sadly. Typically I'll just be face palming as I watch my team throw the game away with mind-blowingly stupid decisions. Like suiciding 2v5 for a late game dragon...... when we have Baron buff.
The most common mistake I see 17 times a game is that people value kills way too much to the point where it feels like a normal mode game to me. They chase to the ends of the earth to secure a kill when the correct decision is almost always to just turn around and start smacking the nearest tower.
i didn't really start playing until the beginning of season 3 (though I had an account back during season 1, I didn't play because I was deployed overseas and lagggggggg), but it seems if my memory is correct that back then the game didn't have so many "oh we're way way ahead but that one guy got completely caught out and literally lost us the entire game" moments as it does now.
like it's easier to colossally throw because of one person's mistake now. maybe i'm wrong, i didn't really take the game that seriously until the latter part of season 3

They nerfed snowballing to the point where one person can no longer single handily carry 4 idiots now. It's more of a team orientated game now, which for better or worse means that one weaker player CAN result in a completely thrown game.
-Passive gold gain got buffed
-Towers got buffed
-Assist gold increased
-Early dragon gold nerfed
-FB gold decreased
etc etc.
It was always easy to throw thanks to one mistake in late game. The difference is that games go late game more often now, and late game is the time where one mistake matters the most.
I like the theoretical concept of a gunslinger ADC who has short range and John Woos everywhere. At least, it sounds fun to play. I still think they have some ways to go on the execution, though. The current CDR on the dash works best if you dash in, use all your abilities, and dash out -- but the cooldown is nowhere near short enough to actually pull that off. Dash in, Lightslinger, laser, Lightslinger, Ardent Blaze, Lightslinger,....wait 5 seconds, dash out. Just doesn't work.

Gotta ping like crazy in lower ELO for people to listen. And sometimes you even need to type out in chat:
"Don't chase!"
"Don't chase!"
"Don't chase!"
They tell you to stop pinging or they start pinging randomly all over the place to be a dick. I do ping the towers, but if they're going to be obnoxious about it, I stop trying eventually.
i've been wanting to do nasus jungle ever since panda and I duo'd and had a jungle nasus on our team a week ago who absolutely BEAST mode'd the enemy team all throughout the game.
i know all the downsides to it (stack q faster in lane, bad ganks, etc) but i still want to do it.

Jungle Susan ganks aren't exactly bad if your laner has a lot of damage.
Plus easy level 6 Dragon solo and Q stacks don't really matter if you can take advantage of the rest of his kit.
That's the big trick to getting Jungle Nasus to work - be highly aggressive on Dragon. Don't wait for a safe opening to get it like you would with most junglers. Clear any potential wards near the pit and kill it.

Or My XaioWeiXiao Mid Can Be This Cute
This is one of my #1 most hated things. I pursue towers and CS to a fault, and I'm sure that's one of the things I need to improve, but there are also games where my team is way ahead in kills but still NEARLY loses merely because the other team has players who actually constantly push towers, so you end up losing 3 towers and giving the enemy team that global gold 3 times for no reason.
Tried this, doesn't (usually?) work -- you'll just see people die while the chat is hilariously filled with like 7 lines of "DANGER" pings and "WAIT" chat lines. Might have been my last game, our mid laner very nearly AFK because a support got upset and just started spamming random pings around the map, nonstop. They only agreed to come back because I agreed to report the person trolling with pings.
We can only hope!
Adobe shit.
It's the same old client with more picture frames!
The only actually useful change is the free champion rotation.
This is the biggest question I have as well.
sona new auras range increased to 350 from 300
good, that actually might be enough
e aura needs a better mechanic or bigger range
well league client doesn't need all that much, mainly just overall work better

dave is ok
aztek is ok
Do you still queue and find a match using one client and then the game launches as a completely separate process? That's the worst part.
Don't say it, we don't say "that word" here.
so like, don't get too excited
about the look itself, i'm not a huge fan. free champion rotation is nice for people that care about it but i don't. patcher is really cool but landing page is kind of plain to look at, i don't care much for the black buttons and black background and it just looks plain
hope they infuse the client with some more personality

New SR and the start of a new client? Riot's been hauling ass this year.
Looks real nice.

They'd better be in the pipeline, that feature has been on PBE for well over a year now.
