[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51618798][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VZbqtbakYY[/media][/QUOTE] The sad part is they sorta did it right at first. Engage, get Illaoi to waste ult, lock her in that one spot with Yorick wall, back up and wait.

I'm honestly kind of glad Vi didn't get caught in Yorick wall by accident. Wouldn't have nearly been as funny.

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;51618826]that means having faith in teammates i dont have any[/QUOTE] I was an adc main last season playing with plat players Watching bronze/low silver adcs is not fun but I just assume all my teammates are as equally skilled as the bronze opponents and swing things in our favor with shields/stuns

[QUOTE=KillRay;51618804]just dont play bad champions! [t]http://puu.sh/ta7hN/a82d5820ca.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Joke's on you. [img]http://i.imgur.com/4XHhoB3.png[/img]

It's not faith in my team it's faith the enemies are just as bad

idk I tried maining bard when climbing out of bronze 2 after getting placed there because I have not played ranked before/am a dota refugee the issue was exactly that everyones gameplay is really flaccid and making plays is just regarded as some eldritch shit by your teammates so they disregard you and let you die I got mastery 5 on soraka just mashing W but I got bored and stopped and started playing other roles too

bard and mage supports i dont think are too good, exception being zyra in low elo. situational cc/one cc means they will sometimes walk up and smack the shit out of your adc you want to make plays and have heavy cc: thresh leona blitz or you want to make sure your teamates wont die: janna taric i think soraka is weak in most situations because she doesnt have any CC besides silence root, i have a lot of soraka games but i think that janna is just better and has more opportunity to do things

As a support player it's so satisfying when you soloqueue and your ADC just fits your playstyle and you have this amazing synergy going in bot lane. Anyone want to play together? EUW, unfortunately I'm only S4 after playing for the first time since Season 4. [QUOTE=KillRay;51619595]bard and mage supports i dont think are too good, exception being zyra in low elo.[/QUOTE] I mostly agree but god forbid they have a Brand (in low elo), he just shits on most bot lanes

[QUOTE=KillRay;51619595]bard and mage supports i dont think are too good, exception being zyra in low elo. situational cc/one cc means they will sometimes walk up and smack the shit out of your adc[/QUOTE] That's... really the opposite. Zyra, Vel'koz, Brand are all super strong right now because AP support itemization is very cheap and impactful. They bring a high amount of pressure to lane and a huge, cheap damage source during teamfights. They're huge in ALL elos because of that, especially low elos because nobody respects support damage in low elos.

i mean this is my experience in silver and below gold and up i completely agree with you

The only thing that changes in between silver and gold is in gold people listen when you tell them to just give up towers. [editline]3rd January 2017[/editline] Sometimes.

true i think ive forgotten how bad everyone is

Not played really often, but I hear it's getting results.

[QUOTE=Mayor Luigi;51620530]To add to this, I heard a vicious rumor that Malzahar support is becoming a thing in high elos. Not played really often, but I hear it's getting results.[/QUOTE] can confirm its really cool. i had one in my game and its much more reliable than velkoz and brand.

Yesterday I found what may actually be the worst league of legends player I have ever met [url]http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=REZTTT[/url] Thank fuck he was in the enemy team

Now that's the type of person who deserves Cardboard 5.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51622016]Now that's the type of person who deserves Cardboard 5.[/QUOTE] yet, he's bronze 2 how on earth the only games he won in ALL OF THEM BEING 2 WINS, he had a negative score in both 0/1/1 as ryze and 3/9/5 as xin zhao and this is bronze 2 holy fuck

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;51621995]Yesterday I found what may actually be the worst league of legends player I have ever met [url]http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=REZTTT[/url] Thank fuck he was in the enemy team[/QUOTE] He doesn't have runes. His masteries aren't filled out. He only recently started using keystones. In one game on Xin Zhao top he bought a Doran's blade to start, and after 26 minutes lost with no other purchases and 28 CS. He has a game on Blitzcrank where he bought Ruby Sightstone twice. He goes Flash/Heal every single game. He doesn't fucking buy boots. This guy is scary.

Shaco Jungle is ridiculously fun to play in the current jungle

[QUOTE=ShadowHunter1;51623740]Shaco Jungle is ridiculously fun to play in the current jungle[/QUOTE] it's a shame they keep nerfing him for no actual reason

Oh god, he lanes as ADC with Leona before making a lane switch right as the creeps spawn. He just hammers at creeps while one that can easily be last-hit is standing RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. Dude's impressive. Spends the entire game farting around in lane, being really bad at farming, taunting underneath the tower and waltzing into teamfights where he'll just have the enemy team wipe the floor with him.

There are people in this thread which are lower on the ladder than him The funny thing is if you check his normal match history he has bought boots before

Bronze people are amazing. I'm not ashamed to admit I've lost a straight up 1v1 against a bronze Mr. Yi toplane simply because I underestimated him.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51624072]There are people in this thread which are lower on the ladder than him The funny thing is if you check his normal match history he has bought boots before[/QUOTE] I hope this guy has a treasure trove of gameplay recordings and is just saving clips of people losing their minds at him in chat, to then make a super compilation of salt.

Imported Korean [t]http://i.imgur.com/mnlJBBr.png[/t] [editline]5th January 2017[/editline] Maybe he think he was playing Olaf but I can't be sure

[QUOTE=mickers;51624562]I hope this guy has a treasure trove of gameplay recordings and is just saving clips of people losing their minds at him in chat, to then make a super compilation of salt.[/QUOTE] is it really their fault for him being legit the reason they lost?

10 bans is gonna be a clusterfuck, expect to never play lee sin, yasuo, etc in any respectable league now

Im kind of hyped for that in pro play. I dunno if i will like it in actual matchmaking though the dodges and re queues are already painful enough, also i can see the same champs getting banned over and over since solo q doesnt really have a ban strat its just ban tier S.

how does going 10/0/11 in 20 minutes as Zyra support give you only A+ rating.
