I've done it at least 10 times!
I think like 8 was on the smurf though... so yea it's pretty hard to get at your correct elo.

It'd be hilarious if the ranks you get at the end of the match were always random. It'd make complete sense.
According to this Swain has the highest and easiest to land burst damage without gimmick items over 4 seconds.
Also lol at this thread, sums up my thoughts on marksmans role.

That he has that many games and is still bronze 1 or that he plays Mundo that much? I don't even know what I should be impress at.
Riot adds new mode with "safe zones".... I can see it now!
haha both really, don't think I could play one champ for 1800 games let alone someone as boring as mundo. I would be so frustrated playing that many games in bronze and never getting out as well. Also i noticed he takes heal tp every game.

Pretty sure there's a bigger Mundo than that. Something like 3000 Mundo games a season or two ago.
There's some bronze kat with lots of games as well but she builds the random items like Hydra and Rageblade.

Absolutely mind boggling. I have a few friends who don't give two shits about rank and only play normals, but for the people that put in over 1000+ rank games..... and still don't climb at all. I wonder what goes through their mind. What makes them play the way they do over and over and over, and not even attempt to learn. I get that some people don't give any shits, but if you don't they why are you even playing rank.
Recently one of the guy that I play premade with introduce his friend to league. This guy is obviously new unrank player new to level 30. You know he's not very good so when we play with him we kind of let him pick his role and the other 4 of us fill. He always goes like mid morgana with ghost/clarity. And mind you that us 4 are between the ranks of gold to diamond. We try to teach him, hey maybe you're better off with different summoners etc... dude refuse to listen. Just ghost/clarity no matter what. After a while we like fuck it let him do him... we know he's going to feed but so what we pick up the slack.
Anyways our premade group has like maybe 8-9 people total so at any time it's any combination of 5, but I think everyone like yea that guy... we don't know. Can't teach him no matter how hard we try and it's not even worth it anymore.
I haven't been playing LoL all that much recently but the odd games I have played I do feel sorry for ADCs sometimes 
Mainly it is the meta change now with burst jungles and assassins coming back in who are instantly blowing up ADCs and as your own team often has assassins they are trying to do the same to the opposition. I had a game last night as Naut support and had a great laning phase winning the lane and stopping 3-4 ganks we had against us with Kalista support.
But when it came to team fighting the full damage build Gragas and Reksai where pushing half way up the lane miles away from Kalista. I did my best to stop Talon instantly blowing her up but by the time he appeared she was dead Or even if I managed to stop him J4 would flash dunk her avoiding the Gragas/Rek Sai who would always come into the fight 15-30 seconds too late which meant Kalista was probably dead.
We still won after Gragas and Reksai finally got thornmail and I managed to CC Talon to death before be could get any damage off.
I wonder if ADCs could benefit from another defensive item to stop the burst? Like a massive shield for 2 seconds that decays or a bubble that stops you from autoing but stops damage for a few seconds. Probably really hard to balance as it would work pretty well for normal lower elo play but high elo/competitive it would probably be really OP as the ADCs would get the peel and the defensive options.

Just played against a jungle vayne
She was terrifying once she got sated but we had plenty of cc to deal with her
She 2v1'd our olaf and maybe malphite at one point while barely taking any damage
Plus I think she forgot she was a jungler bc we got every single neutral objective completely uncontested
That second dude has found a new main, shiv riven

I've had a fair few S+'s but I mainly play support so it is a lot easier
I think wards and such count for a lot!I had one last night using Naut Support and a final score 6/5/36 but 40 wards placed and tower assists etc.

I've heard that the new devourer on Vayne is pretty horrible to deal with.
Pretty much impossible to 1v1 unless you can burst her but she has no sustain so I just tried to keep her jungle warded and a lot of times could pretty much just walk in and force her to flash out or just kill her bc she was low. If she gets an early drag and can be sated by 15-16 minutes or something then yeah it'd probably be super rough but it really wasn't that bad
I didn't realize Tahm's passive didn't stack on jungle camps so you can't stun them. That would help his early clear tremendously

Riot Lyte's answer on why they are slow at implementing features.

Yeah. It's a terrible kit for jungling at the moment, especially how Q can only hit one target.
Raptors is just hell to even attempt before you get rangers.

I'm pretty sure my last game was a S+, I didn't look though No way to tell after the fact huh.
I was 16/1/10 with 70% kill participation. Highest gold in the game by over 3k, highest damage on my team, 14 kill streak lol.
Maybe it was just an S because I forgot to buy a pink ward yet again. It's my nemesis.

My friend got S+ the first time she played Janna. Their scoreline wasn't anything special. This rating system confuses me.

There is no Z axis in league of legends. Reason you can flash over stuff is you go from point A->B. Trist jump doesn't function the same way.

Rocket jump is just a cool looking dash.

Rylai is good but Void is one of the most important items on any mage, don't pass on that in a full build
Tizoc

Hmm thing with Rumble is that he can get blown up real fast without some defense, so I sometimes go for Abyssal over Void :/
Stone Ocean
Member
That's what your shield plus Zhonya's are for
You get a Zhonya's, right? Use that.
Stone Ocean
Member
And even if you get blown up, as long as you ulted properly your job is donezo so you want to do as much damage as possible making Void crucial

Using your active is nice. It makes you sparkly and gold.

Just went up against a Tahm. Wtf is up with that champion? He was more of a liability to his team rather than the cool new op champ he was hyped about.

He dodged the question so badly, just like his fiancée dodged him @_@

Finally got an S+. Don't know if I got an S+ before but now I have proof. Take this, S+ gloaters!

Here's a tip get void...
Anyone remember the LW theory? There was graph that showed like silver players buy LW more than bronze by like 5 to 10%. And gold more than silver by a few %. And plat more than gold by a few %, then diamond over Plat, and then challenger over diamond.
LW and void items are really important after you have your core.

Yeah how ranking works?
I got some A and C with Sona

It's depends on the situation really. You don't want to buy LW or Void if the enemy team hasn't stacked MR/Armor yet. It's more efficient to just do flat damage in that instance. While if you see someone stacking MR or armor like Malph or Galio, you pretty much have to rush LW or Void so by the time they completed their resists you have also completed your pen items.
In my case, I pretty much spammed pink and stealth wards as well as upgraded my trinket. I make it a point that there are always 3 of my stealth wards and a pink on the map. I also tried to group with my team as much as possible in that game. Using that strategy I guarantee you an S- at least since I never went below S- on renekton at least.
From what I gathered i matches your performance in game (kills, assists, cs, wards, more things we don't know about) to other people playing the same champ at your mmr. You thus get a grade depending on your performance to other people playing the same champ at your mmr.

I bet you some people will get that engraved on their tombstones.
All my ranked games feel like a complete toss up regardless of my or my team's performance
I'm going to agree here. Probably 50% of my ranked games are 45min-1 hour monster games where lategame comp and ability not to throw becomes the win condition. The games where I play really well are easier to win but not guaranteed by any stretch.
In a way though, I like that. Even games are more fun than stomps in either direction.
