But isn't it already too late by then? Just seems like you're already pre-empting the rage you plan on dishing out.

Those are the only ADCs I play in ranked. :c
In champ select mind you. The dodge is worth it.

I check their LoLKing. If I don't see a 55%+ winrate and at least 2.0 KD ratio, I'm dodging.
Should have followed this. There is something about Yasuo/Vayne that just draws the most toxic, vile, hateful players to them. Even Zed and Akali players are fairly mild in comparison.

My ratios with those two champs are higher, but my winrate in ranked in general is really awful. I wish I could do better. I keep trying to focus on what I could improve on instead of blaming teammates.
Anyway, I feel like I have the most success with Ezreal because I stay alive so easily, but I always feel like my damage output isn't that great near the end unless I hit a 5-man ult. That's why I tried to learn Vayne. As an amateur, it's also hard to know how to build Ezreal because there's many different ways. If the other team has an Ezreal, they always seem to wreck us, and he builds things like Muramana and Iceborn Gauntlet while I've been gravitating toward Trinity Force and IE. I really like how much damage Vayne's autos do and the potential she has to shred tanks, so that's why I've chosen her even though she is a lot more risky. I own Kalista and Lucian, but I don't think I play them very well. Maybe I should practice with them more.

getting fed and not winning typically means you're bad at transitioning your lead into team-fighting and taking objectives. in other words, you're a vayne player.

That sounds like an insult. :c
I don't think I neglect my team, and I do try to participate in team fights and such. I'll try to focus on that more next time I play ranked. Thanks for the advice!
Wow I'm really glad that I waited a month to start playing ranked in S5. One of my placement matches in the first few days was up against Meteos and Chaox and that was a bit demoralizing jungling against him. Now that I waited I'm getting +35/-10 and playing super easy matches so far.
That Jayce nerf though ugh I'm benching him.

there's not much else to him than that, dodge his spells.
ahri is probably the best champion against him, as she has good waveclear and good mobility to catch him and blow him up. someone like leblanc can do the second but has a bit more trouble with the first, at least safely (xerath can easily harass you while your mobility is down because you're clearing with w)

That sounds like a buddy cop flick. GET PLAT IN 24 HOURS OR TURN IN YOUR BADGES
Yeah, usually I would get hit by the Q being so fast out of my range, and/or stunned if I tried to get close to use spells. Since there's a cooldown between R uses, even if you go in with that, he can stun between them. Also until you get a deathcap or two Ahri seems to have a lot of trouble clearing minion waves, especially if you start boots to try to dodge Xerath.

Hello, Liss top?
I'd like you to meet Galio.
I'd like you to meet Galio.
Really though, I've been getting lag spikes for like very small intervals that fuck me over.
This has been a shitty game overall.

People that play Dominion (both of you) will understand how painful it is to break 1700 bot lane and still lose the game.
you're cray, ahri has pretty godly waveclear. 280(+70%), half of it being true damage is nuts for a single spell. you can easily clear casters with double dorans + fiendish codex and finish up with w.
for comparison xerath q is 240(+75%), which prolly won't kill the casters until he finishes morellos (although with double dorans+codex he might, i just don't think most xeraths get the double dorans).
also you should never start boots, start dorans or flask.

How are you seeing chat in spectator mode?
Edit: Wow, so apparently you have to turn off show all chat and turn it back on for it to show. Thanks rito.

deadnames, even in post game chat you're bitching about something that had nothing to do with why you lost
if you had had a bork, you would've had the attack speed to split push harder, you %hp damage to shred their tanks
the irelia had nothing to do with the win
it literally isn't on par with that. you're taking someone's annoying comment and escalating it beyond to where it needs to be, especially in the middle of a comeback. you're hindering your own team cohesion by not taking the higher ground

Yep no idea why you get reported, truly baffling
Oh come on. You make these passive aggressive remarks towards me and then get on your high horse when I retaliate? Please.
That game was a joke. If I wasn't playing on fucking 500+ ping the entire time it would have been a breeze.
You're right, that was unnecessary of me, sorry.
Uh not really. Who did I blame exactly? Irelia? Not really. I was just pointing out that her E is a really stupid spell.
Oh boy. In a game in my jungler's name is TSM Adolf Hitler
i laughed, i'm going straight to hell

Have you ever had someone AFK because the support had 17 cs at 20min?
Well, I just had a Rengar that only did 4013 damage in a game...so we lost that one.

So any tips on positioning?

Yasuo support. Oh boy!

So, uh, how long does it take for a LeaverBuster queue penalty to go away? The fire alarm in my dorm went off, and by the time they let people back into the building I had already gotten an AFK Disconnect.
Also, I've found that the games that have the least toxic players are the ones where I'm my prefer roles. :/

What is it about Riven and Yasuo players? When they're ahead, they think they're the only team member that matters. When they're behind, they'll try and surrender any chance they get, regardless of how well everyone else is doing.
Anyway, I saw Lissandra was on sale so I bit. She's a ton of fun, but it always feels like her damage is just barely short of killing.

Tried taking ignite and it went really well. I might just stick with it honestly. I find my TP game is a little lacking. Plus it allows me to capitalize on Aatrox' early game which is one of his best points.
Their team didn't build a morellos so I just went visage + thornmail and practically 1v5'd. It was glorious. Our Ori practically 1 shot their backline. Combine her, me, and Nami we were beastly. It feels so good to finally see a good Ori.
Panda if you wanna duo again hmu. That game was shitty because I was lagging the whole time.

i wish there were ward skin sales. ward skins are so overpriced and i want that lux wand so bad ;_;
sometimes i think about picking teemo and shaco into riven and just torture her forever until she inevitably ragequits
but i'm too nice for that kind of thing
generally as ranged mage you should take advantage of walls to attack people from places they can't hit back, gtfo when your spells are on cd and try to stay back and close to your support/adc. you should go more aggressive when you see big cooldowns on the other team go down, so be looking for j4/vi ults and shit like that.
try to get as much damage as you can then back off, then go forward again, and repeat. you can hit the person's that's closest to you, but you should look for opportunities when enemy carries overextend, as usually your range is high enough to go through their frontline
well they're "solo carry" type champions, like zed or vayne or whatever. those types of champions usually attract people that hold the idea that it's not winning unless they carry, so they will miss the bigger picture every time if it's not them that's doing good.

she's on the low end of the damage spectrum, which is why i used to play her with dfg (rip). she's one of my favorite champions, what are you building on her?
this is super broad... for what class or what champion?

Zed players always feel the need to type something in all chat whenever they get a kill. I love how I've been playing this game for less than 2 months and I can already make these sweeping generalizations about the player base.
I usually rush Morello and Zhonya's, then just build the usual AP stuff like Deathcap and Void Staff.
I have trouble using Zhonya's effectively.

Heimerdinger's win rate in Bronze is 57% this week, I played him the other night and lost, wonder what I'm missing.
Also just had a game where the other team's Ashe AFKed because Thresh got the kill over her, and then her duo partner (who was mid) AFKed as well, and then Thresh complained in all chat that they were both the N word and proceeded to explain that it "totally isn't racist".
This game man.

consider building abyssal before deathcap. it's less damage but really good survivability and the mr reduction is really nice for the rest of your team
zhonyas is just a matter of getting used to
you can like e in, ult someone and then zhonyas, or like zhonyas and ult yourself if you want to bait, etc.
you should always use zhonyas/self ult to dodge something, so wait until a spell is about to land (like charm or something)
keep reminding yourself of using it after buying it
