I’m maining aatrox for the next 3 weeks because I enjoy suffering and I hate myself

perfect! he just got gutted.

the amount of times people on enemy team have survived 1 hit from death today is utterly retarded!

won 2 games today when my team was down all 3 inhibitors

amazing


I have merc treads, Hexdrinker, Phantom Dancer, and magic resist runes

AP shyvana flame breath still hits for over 1k


fk these pussy's who abuse broken champs like this

Gold 1 now

Just reached Silver 4 today.

Carried myself from Bronze 4 to Silver 4. will keep climbing to Gold.

On something like a 14 game win streak.

10 IQ jinx on my team


build IE and then 3 attack speed items


doesn't matter if you have 100% crit if you only have 1 damage item lul.

I'm Gold 1 40lp now

my goal is to hit platinum and that's it. been grinding so much on this game lol

man gonna have to quit for a bit. trying to make it to D4 and it's just too much brainpower required to carry at this point lol. supports need to be shepherd guiding lost lambs at all times, or else the wolves tear them apart. losing count of games where it's even or a bit ahead then team randomly starts inting before I can call and set up vision.

scared to do my platinum promos because I am on a big win streak and don't want rito matchmaking to fk me

similarly I stopped after d4 because it's basically a coin toss that decides the winning team. Not nearly good enough to carry post laning against equal mmr when things go south.
Smurfing in gold >>>>>>




strong potential for round 2, just barely about to enter gold mmr. Playing in silver is something else, I've been duo with this guy that plays aggro trist and we all in at level 2 and basically spawn them every time they return to lane, it's insanely fun. The concept of positioning is unheard of to them lol

lost my first game to platinum

I knew it would be a loss when toplaner picked quinn though

useless champ after 20 minute mark, even when they get a lead

every quinn top I've seen is basically an assassin, and deletes people by running fast in bird form. Sort of like rengar

but they're usually one tricks or a pocket pick

yeah most times i see quinn top they melt faces and get big early leads, which then goes byebye after lane phase is over


won my next 2 plat promo games, close games as well, need to come up BIG in my next match to reach plat

completed my plat promos with 3 wins and 1 defeat



final game of my promos. BIG CARRY! /ff at 17 minutes from enemy team

so this person in champ select bans my Kindred

I ask them why did you ban my champion I was hovering they say "It felt right, Kindred is a **** champ"


they then proceed to pick vayne top

I lock in Tristana Jungle

Vayne top solo dies level 2 to pantheon, I go top and take the free CS.

vayne rages, then I sit in her lane spamming laugh and watch poantheon kill her again


LOL


the Vayne trolls me for no reason by banning my champ, then complains and acts like the victim when I return the favour. gotta love pussies like this

haven't played much the past week or 2 and failed 100% wr because I was a bit rusty feels bad man

are any of you watching this Tyler1 vs Yassuo $10,000 bet? I guess its to see who can rank higher in 1 month on a fresh 30 account, without playing their main champ.


I've tuned in to Yassuo's stream, never watched him before. he is the biggest whiny little pussy I've watched stream. highly annoying attitude


His vernacular is also cringe inducing and retarded.

you know how people say "inting" when themselves, or somebody else is dying a lot.

Yassuo uses the word "inting" for literally everything.


"AM I BEING INTED RIGHT NOW?!?" - when his jungler doesn't make a successful gank

"my jungler is inting my lane" - when Jungler doesn't even die

"THIS GUY IS ****ING INTING" - to player who dies once entire game

"why is he inting me?!?!" - when jungler takes 2 cs.



so god damn annoying when turd chits like this use a popular phrase, then take it to the extreme and try to cram the word in to every aspect of the game.

haven't been watching a lot of streams lately but I did notice T1 was playing on a smurf, I thought he was duoing with subbers or something until now lol

honestly prefer watching yassuo based on the fact that T1's game knowledge seems to be 100% based around draven so watching him play any other champ is a little off putting. For example he has no idea how to prepare minions for csing while pushing when he has non-draven autoattacks, so when he's shoving a wave before a back sometimes he will just stand there waiting for a minion hp bar to dwindle down instead of timing his damage properly. Basically ruins back timing and I can see his support dying inside


sneaky is much better to watch as an adc, seems like all the little mechanics are ingrained into him so he can cs very well in any situation he has access to the wave (comparing to T1 example) and basically is an overall better player. A little conservative but really consistent as a result, he's always a good watch if you want to analyze soloq play. Also not boring because of his huge viewerbase (chat) and general personality

Sneaky also good if you like watching ladyboys play league of legends.

Watch Trick2g.

went back to the grind after a 2-week break, went from Plat 2 0 LP to Diamond 4 in four days lol. and nearly half of the games were D4 promos; failed once 2-3

solved the problem of midgame throwing by… picking for lane domination/snowball and just stomping the enemy to dust. lost hard sometimes but won hard more often so. looked at my OP.GG and I actually had more sub-20 minute games than over 30 minutes

Ive maintain a 60-70% wr at low Elo for my first 2 seasons and I have no idea how you people can grind this **** out to diamond with these animals for so long. Sub plat players are legit the most brainless idiots on this earth and god help me if I haven’t got 10+ kills at 15 minutes or else I won’t be able to carry my inting team I seem to get paired with 2/3 games. It’s really mind numbing carrying my face off every game with 0 help idk how you guys handle it mentally without just wanting to stop playing from all the work it takes just to win against th winning team every game

Whenever I wrap up a game I try to reflect on how I contributed to the win/loss, and in the case of losses, how much better I could've played to turn the game around. I find that there aren't a lot of cases where I would've lost no matter what or it would've taken a Faker-like performance to turn it into a win.

Keep in mind League is generally a snowbally game, and one mistake/missed opportunity leads to a chain of events that makes the game increasingly more difficult for you.

Here's a riveting story. Say, I'm ADC Draven, my Kindred jungle is in river and he fights for bot scuttle versus the enemy Kha'zix - instead of roaming and helping the Kindred, I focus on winning trades in my lane - which is what I should be doing as Draven generally. But I don't use my lane advantage to help my jungler, and he feeds first blood to a Kha. Because of that, Kindred becomes too scared to step into river during the rest of laning. So your Syndra is forced to play more passive versus the enemy Irelia - meaning she can't punish the matchup while it's favorable. She ends up dying solo at Level 6 while Irelia escapes with a sliver of health - if only Syndra was able to deny her enough farm, Irelia wouldn't have had shopped a Sheen in her first back and the all-in would've gone Syndra's way instead. And now that Irelia can **** on Syndra any time she always roam bot - coupled with the lack of river presence, I eventually get 4-manned bot and both me + support die for free - I MIA ping Syndra and type "/all gg better jg wins".

Of course, the last part of the story only happens if I hadn't used the fact I didn't help Kindred to do something more productive - like get a double kill on the enemy bot lane, or even just their summs so I either start killing them straight up or force them out of lane. Then maybe the dive doesn't even happen because the wave is at the enemy turret and me/my support have warded our flanks, or maybe I'm strong enough to trade or turn the dive around.

Hope this helps with thinking about how each decision you make affects the final outcome of the game, and how you can do better every time.

I do try to pay attention to my macro as I’m an assassin main in ranked so roaming for pressure and transitioning advantage is a huge part of being successful as an assassin, but the games where I’m 3-0 at 7 minutes but my bot/ top has already inted 8 times between them in that same amount of time just sucks. It doesn’t feel impossible because the nice thing about assassins is you can prioritize threats well and take them out but **** me if I’m not playing as a fed fighter 1v9ing takes soooooo much effort

Ty for the advice you’re right preventing teammates from getting ****ed is a big part as well as personal performance but idk man at my elo sometimes it feels like I save one just to lose 2

once you get a lead play for the next objective and play for yourself only. Also low elo macro is super bad and seems unpredictable but it's actually completely reactive. So if everyone rushes to X objective and you're next to Y objective, you just got a free objective because whatever happens a X will 90% be an aram that goes nowhere. Or predict enemy pathing based on the current objective that everyone's rushing to and get a pick. Also if you walk on enemy wards in their territory it's guaranteed someone will facecheck even if you clear vision, another free kill that you can turn into objective. Sometimes when I'm ahead I literally camp enemy raptor bushes or red bushes and wait for someone to walk by so I can kill them, and this works multiple times in a row if you keep vision under control

If I'm playing under plat I literally disregard the team and do what I want, like take mid farm while the laner backed and take down the turret or push an empty side lane to the second turret and absorb 1v2 pressure (main support but full AP). I don't even mind if my team does nothing with my pressure since I get big exp and gold and I might get a kill too

tl'dr pathing predictions and baiting win you the game, both based on vision control. Play for objectives and play for yourself only

I appreciate that tip and I feel that supp mentality. I prefer adc but because of how bad supps are down here I just play zyra and hard carry my lane a lot so I’ll poach cs and kills too just so I can carry. I definitely have a problem with visualizing how a play should go with my team with me and then I int because no one else did anything lmao. I’m getting better at being selfish here though. I do a lot of that cheesy stuff when I’m playing mid where I camp random jungle obj when I know their jungle is coming that way and things like that where I punish bot laners or top for mispathing to me. Teamfighting is the biggest struggle because so often no one knows what their responsibilities are

Lost vs a Twitch jungle who proceeded to trashtalk me after the game. I didn't play very well


next game I am jungling vs him again and he gets absolutely nuked in his own jungle. our support bard solo killed him at level 4 while he went roaming the jungle. and our mid lane fizz roamed and instakilled twitch in his jungle 3 times


was hilarious, then I of course said the exact same thing to him, as he said to me after the game he beat me


karma baby


oh, did I mention I am Plat 1 now? playing vs some diamond border folks now. games are more difficult

I'm astounded by how people just don't dodge lol. I swear I have to do it at the last second every time there's a ghost/close nunu or teemo and I've had free wins from that sort of stuff. Why do they prefer to be stuck at least 15 minutes in a ****ing horrible game that will hurt their MMR than take a break?
