'grats on the Penta. I've had 4 Quadras in ranked and in 3 of those instances I would have had the Penta but a scumbag teammate stole the kill on purpose with flash/kill combos.
Why should they nerf Rengar? I've seen opinions in this thread that Rengar is practically auto-lose to have on your team already. D:
That doesn't look like a 60% win rate over the last week or two. How long have you been in Silver V? Maybe you are getting less LP because you have been there for a long time, so the system has more confidence in your rating. If you go on a win streak of 30 wins and 10 losses it might give you bigger gains again.

I haven't been there very long...maybe a 3-4 weeks. The Lolking score is a bit skewed because it doesn't pull out the loss prevented matches, the normals, or stupid matches that I never connected to but it still credits me as a loss in my history (most recent being that Janna 0-0-0 game with a loss). If you pull those out I'm actually around 60% for the last 50 games or so.
Are you certain the Lolking score doesn't pull out loss prevented and normals? As far as I'm aware, it's pulling directly from your LP count. Normals and loss prevented don't make you lose LP.
If you're playing ranked games but not being able to connect often, then you probably will have a hard time climbing. I have a cable modem problem but it doesn't affect me ingame much at least.
I don't normally have that issue. I just played a lot of matches when they were having server issues the last week or so.
I thought that your Lolking score basically pulled from every result. OP.gg thinks that my MMR is "normal," so I shouldn't be upside down. I've been there before where I was gaining 7 LP per win and losing 24 per loss. That suuuuucked, but it was my win rate that was very obviously determining that.
I'm pretty sure that graph doesn't count normal games or loss prevented games. If the system gave you reduced RP for a win either the server was experiencing errors or you fought against lesser opponents. If you truly have a 60% win rate, it will show in the rate you climb the ladder and your LP gains.
It's literally just a conversion of current LP at your Rank and Tier.
Normals won't matter when talking about LP anyway, so not counting normals is correct.
Ok, cool. Guess the slap down back to 50% has come at a cost. I was flying pretty high for a bit there and then ran into a bad, bad streak of AFK/rage quitter games.
Did anybody ever confirm if that Reddit post about how matchmaking works was legit? Every time I go on on a win streak, I get some seriously abysmal matches soon after. In fact, I made the big mistake of saying on here that I had won 6 straight and then the next 3 matches had AFK/quitter teammates. :|
Could be coincidence, but all the attempts to keep you at 50% by giving you crap tier teammates kinda sucks if it's true.
But here's my last 20 for Ranked (I don't have any duo queue games in the last 20).

What does this accomplish?
And make sure your team doesn't pick Rengar.

More ADC players dodging?
They pick Cait, Jinx, or Lucian, who are all very popular ADCs.
I thought so when he said he was suing, but someone else told me it was a mocking of some actual work someone had done and came to those conclusions, so I didn't know anymore.
Since I have started banning Tristana, I'm seeing more dodges. It's funny.
Sure. roll back a few patches and make people play things that aren't FotW.
I actually like earning champs. My problem is the cost of those champs vs the rate of IP earned can be pretty silly. Playing a few hours a day for a week or two just to earn one of the higher cost champs when there's over a hundred now? They don't all have to be 450 ip, but still. Considering how many champs are first bought based on aesthetics and power isn't relative to price I think having some be 450 ip and some be over 6k is too much variation.
I'm personally for the "highest" cost champs not being any more than 3150, and those should be rare. Normal wins should also earn more IP than they do now. it'd have a snowball effect so the sense of "earning" a champ and not having the game feel so overwhelming to a new player could still be felt (this is a big reason why LoL is more newb friendly than DotA before you ever join a match) while actually having to choose which to unlock would feel less restrictive for vets and newbies alike.
Runes are a bit trickier since they allow customization and opportunity for characters that I'm not sure would be there without them. Sure, most ADCs and AP Mana Mids and Tanky Brusiers tend to run the same thing, but how would you account for the variations in more fluid roles like Jungling and Supports?
And the biggest question I have: if we weren't going to spend our IP on new champions and runes, what would we spend it on?
It lets some very stupid supports through, and then they might remember who really deserved the ban.

looks like im gonna need some of that skt burn cream
thanks closer.
thanks closer.
gotdamn
the secret is out
Poor Tristana :/
it's a stupid nerf and it's rather large considering ori's already low base ad and scaling ad. trading with autos is ori's lane thing, it's not the same as nerfing xerath's or brand's base ad.
ori's a good champion, stop nerfing shit because pros play it
i wouldn't say no to having all champions unlocked but i wouldn't go play something else since i have so many pretty skins here
and i like runes, they're just too expensive
unlocking champions too, it's that pokemon thing
i mean they should probably just rework him again but he's kind of trouble in competitive and imo he's a shitty champion overall that needs some serious changes
zkylon patch 4.14:
- ziggs removed
- ryze removed
- kayle removed
- rengar removed
- ap ratios for the following champions reduced: sion, warwick, shaco, tristana, gangplank, nasus, soraka, malphite
- lux' movement speed increased by 5
- crest of the ancient golem cooldown reduction buff reverted to 20%
- yasuo's ultimate no longer grants him his passive
- vi's ult now a short-range skillshot
- lee sin 4.13 changes reverted. q and ult damage reduced
- 19 new and fun items
- added all chinese splash arts
- k-pop skins for all the girls
- jungle removed
i think that's about it
People use this all the time, and I always try to ask, "But what if we're all like 70 years old, and YOU'RE the kid in comparison? WHAT THEN?!"
COJ: Gunslinger has taught me that they would say "boy" in that case. There is only one "Kid" and he's Billy.
