EUW is unplayable right now.

If the system thinks you are better then where you are, you will gain more than you lose. If the system thinks otherwise, you can lose more lp for a loss than you will gain for a win.

I should try and find a duo partner on here now that I'm playing more ranked. Still working through my placements and mainly playing jungle. I'm pretty good at support and a one trick pony top laner.

Hooooooly shit fuck this match. Trying to end this fucking game with Xerath effortlessly stalling took a few years out of my life. Only reason I'm still not playing this goddamn stalemate is because Xerath fucked up and got caught by me, holy fuckamole Riot get to breaking this thing's legs.

i was once in lane farming. i was in range of thresh to hook me. he sends it out and literally as it's about to hit me, i shield. and then in all that he goes, "Oh."

good times

Any Bronze people who want to duo, just let me know. I don't think I'm terrible, but I'm in Bronze, so I probably am, haha. I don't mind soloing, but just letting anyone know if they want a partner. :D

So after a few bronze III ranked games, I realized that this isn't really bronze iii. It's just other players in the same spot as me (middle silver placed below where we finished last season).

Man, I wanted to dong. Now I'm just climbing like I was last season but with a lot higher to go.

You jinxed us by making fun of Newt's score. They have 3 scores left to get, and could be about to beat both of us even though their team only has 6 players for some reason.

They really need to nerf Vi's ability to solo drag at level 4/5.

Its so damn stupid. If you dont ward it during the jungler's first clear, you basically lose it.

Eh, by that time you should start warding drag anyways. Riot needs to make drag not be such a weak dick early on. Buff that thing so you need your team if you want to do it pre-6, too many junglers - read, more than a couple edge cases - can abuse him.

My personal suggestion would be to play a carry support if support is your main, aka Zyra, or Annie if you're not that confident.

Go support masteries then build full damage (I personally go glass hammer) once you've gotten Sightstone. You won't be focused in team fights until it's too late in the game by which point you'll be out damaging everybody.

This way you've got the damage to make up for the muppits you're paired with but still making sure ward coverage is spot on and dragon control maintained.

Thanks for the advice. I've tried out Support Annie in the last two normal games I played, and loved it. I'm going to try out Zyra in my next match.

eh. dragons that early aren't really worth it. you give up time farming and pressuring lanes. yi can do it at level 3 no problem, but it delays his actual jungling.

plus the first dragon is kind of weak that early.

checked my op.gg's MMR calc before a game and it was that

won the game and then checked it again after

Whoa, what?

When can she solo it at lvls 4/5? Got a vid?

Just spec one my vi games. I do it almost every game. All you need is one of the jungle items on its first upgrade with 2 or 3 pots depending on runes/masteries.

A long sword is optional but it helps reduce the solo by a few seconds.

This early in the season isn't a good gauge for that... plus your MMR swings are going to be so much larger this early in the season.

How long does it take? I can't imagine it being quick enough to be worth not ganking a lane or two...

I really fear jungle nid. Ive been watching challenger and master players perform incredibly well with it in the preseason. Its pretty much a deadlier shaco who can teamfight.

I hope solo q players dont pick her up. Shes going to ruin solo queue. Its one of those feed or get fed junglers like rengar.

From what ive seen, it takes way too much work to go against a good jungle nid player.

And vi's solo drag takes 10-15 seconds depending on whether you have blue or red.
