[QUOTE=Commando1234;50297246]So need some pro-tips here. I mostly play adc. I have had 2 games recently where my support just never joins game or, per last game, shows up at 35 minutes then feeds enemy team. What are some tips for being alone bot?[/QUOTE] As an aside from everything else stated, the closest I got to being able to solo bot lane was in a game where the Tahm Kench on our team left lane to do who-knows-what on the rest of the map, and I was left alone as Tristana against a Jhin and Morgana. The only reason I was even able to keep up for 20 minutes was that both of them had really bad aim with skillshots, the enemy jungler was preoccupied with the top half of the map, and the splash damage from Trist's E was enough to help keep the lane minions at bay. We still lost that game because somehow our Renekton, Tahm, and Lee Sin couldn't take down a single Darius in a 3v1 and he ended up fed as hell.

What are some tips for being alone bot?[/QUOTE] As ADC, you need farm. Farm, farm and farm. If your lane is too dangerous to farm in, go to another lane. If all lanes are pushed out, go to the jungle and steal from your jungler. When late game rolls in, you need to quickly clear waves and disappear before the enemy shows up to get any farm. If you somehow end up alone at bot lane, either due to the support being AFK or being a roamer, you need to: - Play carefully. Do not attempt to even trade depending on the lane, because as soon as you get caught, you're probably screwed with no support to help you out. If you see the enemy support trying to position himself, position yourself to a point where his attempt will be useless. - Focus on farming. As said, farm is insanely important. No farm, no items. No items, no damage. No damage, you won't win. - Do not die. You die, the enemy gets fed, you lose farm. You lose farm, you fall behind. You fall behind, you're useless to the team and can't do much unless you can get ahead again.

I know that coming off of Dota means I'm kind of spoiled when it comes to payment models but champion IP prices are fucking insane. I get it, coaxing players into spending money instead of grinding the free currency is a better business model. Trust me, I get it. But having 4-year old champions still stay at release prices and anything past 2010 still be 3k+ is just unfair.

It was basically farm until lvl 6 until they could prove how amazing they are at using their ults (ie aim down lane). Although lucian is more of a pain in the ass just because of how mobile he is early game compared to literally every other adc. [QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;50298120]But he's [b]easy[/b] to lane as[/QUOTE]

While I think dota has a better system, I can't really complain about Riots either. I am currently sitting on about 30 k ip and I bought Aurelion the week he came out with ip. edit - sorry not 30k, 25k.

I typed up a whole argument but it really just boiled down to how salty I am about how strong his laning phase is.

In a competitive game where both teams try their hardest to win, why do people complain that players flock to characters that are obviously stronger? I get the whole fun argument blah blah blah but any other reason besides that? What about players who think its fun to win :pudge:

There's 10 people in each game, and it is a game, so why not try to entertain everyone? I played a game of jungle Soraka with some friends a while ago just for laughs, and had more fun that game (which we lost) than most of my wins recently. Picking strong champs can make it easier to win, and not everyone is fine with seeing the same picks and bans every game, especially when the champion pool is as big as it is.

It's real great that you had fun mate, but some people take the game very seriously and you shouldn't look down on them just because you play differently. How is their way wrong compared to yours? Think of it like that before you condemn people for playing strong picks. [editline]11th May 2016[/editline] The reason that these are established picks and the meta exists is [I]because[/I] the majority of people play that way.

a lot of people have fun playing the stronger picks. most people dont care about how much fun their opponents might be having.

My fun in the game comes from the people around me having significantly less fun because of my actions.

Won 3 ranked games in a row and got to Promos again ( 3rd time... ) Yup, one game remaining.. .. uh.. tommorow.

What is up with Zed at the moment? Is he broken or just a really good champion if you kno how to do it.

[QUOTE=BusterBluth;50303136]What is up with Zed at the moment? Is he broken or just a really good champion if you kno how to do it.[/QUOTE] Well his laneing is still great and the removal of QSS removal of his ult was a big buff too. Plus league is full of weebs who love samurai and ninjas :v:

i kept losing in solo q, so i said fuck it, started going full ap/slow support nasus, Frost Queen/Hextech GLP 800/Rylais/Gauntlet/Omen, and i haven't lost a mtch since. sooo. Trolling solo que

[t]http://i.imgur.com/ADcOb4P.png[/t] Every time I get this I always think it's me who received a penalty or something, I almost get a heart attack

I'm gonna take a break from league. The lack of overwatch kinda put me in a position where I don't want to play anything else and I just feel like I hate myself everytime I go into a league game. The constant flamers, feeders, AFKers and troll also get to you. And the more games I lose the further down into D5 elohell I sink so if anyone just isnt enjoying the game uninstall with me and come back if u ever feel like it but staying and just feeling miserable is the opposite of what you're supposed to do in a game

Hitting level 30 is a one way ticket to feed city

For me it's more like Weird Complaints-ville. Top lane's missing, mid lane's probably off having a sandwich, bottom's pushed all the way to the tower and all my team can do is complain about me not ganking.

I mentioned before how many Legendaries I've got from Hextech chests right? lol [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/tT3geJw.png[/IMG] 2x Mundos, Brolaf, Magnificent TF and now Infernal Nasus, thanks RNG. That's from 30 Chests I've bought and some Free. Excluding the champions and other skins. EDIT: Oh right guys from EUW can freely add me, would love to play with some lower elo players ( Normals though ). Not that I am .. too high myself right now.

Got to play Support Trundle, holy shit is it fun. Early game cheese with Q and E is too much for the enemy.

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;50314882]Got to play Support Trundle, holy shit is it fun. Early game cheese with Q and E is too much for the enemy.[/QUOTE] If you have someone who understands your strengths, it's incredible. Early you can solo the ADC. Late you can rob the enemy tank of half their stats and potentially pin them back enough to get shredded by your ADC. If you have someone who's a fucking retard, you'll get flamed by half the team and reported because your ADC is retarded and blames you for literally everything going wrong in the lane.

[QUOTE=Firecat;50317575]apprently overwolf was making a shit ton of gifs of random league of legends things i did for a while as i came across a like 10 gb folder of shit like this [vid]http://i.imgur.com/tfSlrhB.webm[/vid] [vid]http://i.imgur.com/ekVMd0T.webm[/vid] too bad it wasnt active in the time i played rengar a lot :^)[/QUOTE] Fuck overwolf man, it saves your shit in both .gif and .webm format and obliterates so much space

[IMG]http://puu.sh/oRrmv/2f62aaa010.png[/IMG] And I unlocked the Nasus Skin. Today has been a good day.

Got my hands on Jinx today. My god, is she terrifying in a team fight when her passive goes off.
