Same here. Screw dem ranks. I play for the lulz

I tried to play ranked, just to be one of the cool kids, it took me two games to find trolls. No thank you.

I ended it with a huge losing streak, dropping from plat 1 and finishing at plat 2 100 points.

Well, let's see how it goes. First game of the season I got top lane Janna with 122 cs by 30 minutes but we won it.

Been questioning myself why do I even play solo lanes if my winrate in jungle is a lot higher. Maybe I just can't enjoy it.

My win rates last season didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Went 10-12 supporting (which is my worst role) and 10-5 ADCing (which is my second worst role). Shrug.

Lesson here is to just enjoy the game. It's not that hard.

After 2 seasons played , i hope this will finaly be the season where i get out of bronze , my goal will be Gold i want dem Gold

i hope i hit bronze

ples

All those hypes about Warwick being played in LCS.

Everyone knows darien only picks him because his ult does 420 damage.

I want to see through teamfights and react accordingly. (I'm hugely surprised that I almost made gold in S3 without understanding most of what is happening during teamfights.)
Anyone had similar problems? I'm really curious. Not really sure how to improve...playing seems a bit ineffective. Isn't there anything better?

Challenger / diamond 1 is my goal for s4. Doubt I'll reach so far, cuz I have so much school atm.

5 wins - 5 losses

Silver fucking one.

Father, why have you forsaken me.

This is going to be a long week.

A long, long week.

1 - 1 so far.
First game made me want to hurt myself, like, really badly. Second game went okay, even though I had a bunch of incompetent idiots on my team. Oh well, this is gonna be a fun weekend.

idk what happened but im not complaining

everyone dc'd and im left playing the game lmao0o0o

before everyone goes wtf is that build i just made it to push faster ok sincei m the only one left

Connectivity issues. That's something that's probably never going to leave LoLPH.

got 5-5 and i am bronze 4 wtf nty fuck this game not a 3th year of bronze fuck it

guees ill go back to wow again

3rd*

expect to be placed really low guys, i made a thread on the LoL forums explaining why its happening to everyon

A lot of people don't seem to understand the point of a reset or any reset.

Is LoLNexus's team MMR stat a reliable indication of MMR? I played one game and both teams averaged about 1650 MMR, I was Plat 5 before this new season so I thought it should've put me somewhere around 1500 no? I just checked the stats again and it seems like people who were in my match are now +/-50 MMR.

Anyway I think I'll wait a big for the system to settle down first, I played one placement and everyone were such raging little shits that run their mouth EVERY time something bad happens, people were literally calling GG when the scores were 2-4, we ended up winning and the enemy team of course talked shit to each other in post-game chat.

No site's mmr checker is 100 % reliable. They all base upon your last played games etc. etc.

If you play against ragers, don't reply or say anything. You'll just pull yourself down.

I know that, I barely even use my chat, but my teammates just wouldn't shut the fuck up so I wouldn't wanna take a chance at playing another game where people spent more time typing than playing, at least not for a few days until the ragers drop to where they belong.

no ofcourse not but some times i just dont get it after 3 years played i am still bronze ok maybe its just because i belong there but there are people who are alot worse then me and yet they are gold and thats what makes me angry

You are bronze because you think that way. You look at others. You don't look at yourself. The moment you start looking at yourself and recognizing your own mistakes, and trying to improve instead of thinking you are already good and all that, you will climb a lot. Bronze is incredibly easy and you don't even need to be really good to climb out of it, you only need the right mentality and gotta be willing to learn and improve!

after every death, lost teamfight, trade, etc. think about what went wrong? what could you have done better? Now yes, some games you just can't win because of that 8/0 draven at 6 minutes. It's about what you make of having a bad game, are you trying your hardest to win?
and every time you hit that enter to open up the chat, think if what you are going to say is going to help you win the game.

Not only after every death, lost timefight etc. Always. Even if you're winning. Ex. How could I have won easier, should I have gone a different item for more dmg, etc.

Also, do not make excuses. For example, don't think like this: "It was indeed my fault I died, but it doesn't really matter since we're losing anyways".

Okay so what worked for me is never stop being a "student". I started playing ranked at something like Silver, and from there, I spent some time almost every day looking at champion guides, champion threads, streams (and please don't watch troll-ey streams like PhantomL0rd, you won't learn a lot, I recommend Nightblue, Meteos, Doublelift, etc. I also don't feel like I learn a lot when I watch Dyrus). Basically I lurked the NA forums every day and found lots of threads regarding how to counter x champ, "I main Irelia, ask me anything", "I reached Diamond only playing Veigar, AMA", etc. I read a lot and watched a lot of stuff. Then you just apply what you read and analize yourself.
Also, youtubers help a lot too. There's this guy called Gbay99 who taught me A LOT about the game when I was lower Gold or so (and never stopped watching his videos actually so I watch him ocasionally now). For example, whenever I played an assassin, I always ended up havin like a shitton of kills but ALSO a shitton of deaths (like 11-10-7, for example). That is just so bad and I hated it. After watching his videos and watching streams, I learned to be patient. It's not good to always look for a kill in lane, and instead, just waiting for your opponent to make a mistake/your jungler to gank is just SO much more worth it in the end. Not dying and just waiting for enemy mistakes is really worth it, and I'm still working on it.
With that said, this is gbay99's channel. There are plenty of other channels that are also great for learning.
Now I got to Diamond 1 like 3 weeks ago and guess what? Even know I'm still learning. I still lurk the forums, watch streams to learn, and spectate high elo games (which sometimes have the same people I play with/against in my matches, but I don't care). Just never stop trying to improve.
Don't play ranked just trying to get lucky and win, actually try to improve to climb.
This is how I ended the pre-season yesterday, considering I started season 3 at high sillver/low gold I believe it's a pretty nice climb, and I'm trying to improve and climb even more - if it worked for me, and still works, it should work for you too.

I'll stop playing LoL till they relocate the servers

lol that zuna disrespect

THIS GAME
HOLY SHIT THIS GAME MAN
IT WAS SOOOO CLOSE
WE WERE 3 INHIBS AND 2 NEXUS TURRETS DOWN
THEY THREW SO HARD AT A FIGHT AT BARON
THIS WAS SO MUCH MORE EXCITING THAN ANY LCS GAME HAS EVER BEEN
I AM STILL SHACKING WITH EVERY INCH OF MY BODY

I started changing my attitude in this game drastically for the new Season. Usually I would have already given up after around 30 minutes because there was literally no chance of winning. But I pulled myself together, tried to ignore flamers and just play the game. It works!

gg aAa Nono , caitlyn qqing since lv 1 because we play vs nono

Really happy about CLG. They looked shaky at some times but their rotations and 5-man pushes really showed that they have been training. This is only their first match and they show more coordination than the previous season. I really see them improving a lot more and making less mistakes, leading to a really high amount of wins this season. I wanna see them at the top.

These fucking games.

These games.

Silver doesn't even exist, it's full of plat/diamond players who lost their promotes and once in a while actual silver players.

I didn't play at resets before and it was a right choice.

Need to calm the fuck down but it's damn hard.

I lost a game yesterday's night for the single fact of servers live maintenaince = lagging
4 people of our team lagging
1 people of theirs lagging

gg rito

Back to Bronze I I'm done.

I'm getting matched up with a lot of Platinum players during my provisional games. Not sure if my elo is on Platin level or theirs just sucks.

waiting a while till i do my placements
meanwhile a decent nid game in norms

I started playing khazix a few days. He's really fun to play IMO I already got a penta.


I wonder when s4 will be out in garena servers...

itt nobody understands soft resets

Getting placed in Bronz would be awesome. Loved the feeling of climbing. 1-1 placements atm. Got grushed by diamond annie support

I used to be 3-0 in my placements because I got the roles I wanted. Afterwards I always ended up on 4th pick, resulting in a 3-4 now. GG

Kanye West wrote:

Tried to explain what that soft reset is to a friend who was Gold, unsuccessfully.

Anyways my bro offered me Aatrox but I have no idea how to play him. The build is simple, but I suck at toggling mechanics and not familiar with his Blood Well. Any strategy in lane ?

Go mid, shove your lane, get lvl 2 first and dive your opponent under his turret with some minions -> survive and get first blood
Use the extra dmg from your W for trading, the life steal for sustaining

I'm dying

@BrokenArrow : Is it advised to start with a red pot in this case ? Also, which skills should I level at 1 and 2 ?

W at lvl 1, Q at lvl 2, a red pot isn't even neccessary in most cases. His lvl 2 is just so strong.
I'm not sure if this works in top lane anymore since the rise of the super tank meta

holy fuuuuuuuuck that was intense... 2 nexus turrets down I revive and literally do a 1v4 quadra and survive it

We all baserush them and get half their nexus hp down before they 4man kill us

I'm already crying thinking how close it was when our jinx somehow defenses base 1v5

I revive again and get a triple kill with her help

Win

Oh god that was epic

Nice skin you got there
Same thing happened here, I also finished my placement games (finally) and ended up in Silver III after 5-5. Not too bad considering people from Plat being in a similar spot now.



EDIT: Wow

pls almost there for my placements



edit: rip

That guy plays pretty well. Played a normal match versus him mid, talon vs talon. I went fine till lvl 6, at that time rest of the map was already lost. (5v5 premades, we all plat/gold, they all d1 ;s

Got platinum II, I guess it's fine

"Meh... Whatever, this always happens anyway."
*Queues, Finds match*

This is how it ends.

last game for silver promo

2 loses 2 wins

we are 20/8 in kills and ahead as fuck

Well gotta climb again. I hope you can climb back to where you were!

Anyway finished my placements!


8-2 on placements :v Well it isn't that bad.
Probably won't take too long~ and let's aim higher.

Got back from Spain, LETS PLAY SOME L-



and now I gotta repair since it says It cant find mordekaiser and wont let me play.

EDIT: My team won.

lol is that windows 2000

It's VISTA, aero gives me delay so turned it off.

Top lane has to be the most boring unfun lane now.

With how retarded the defense tree is it makes a lot of the match up top ridiculous. You just ignore the enemy top lane and split push. If I wanted to PVE for 40 minutes I would just go play some MMO.

RIP top lane until the defense tree gets gutted.

I'm playing on EUNE now too with a smurf, as far as I've seen they're even more toxic than EUW

I understand that u can rage,flame ect but some guys ... i had that guy he was flaming the whole game after the game he added me as friend and he sayed i wish your mother dies of cancer just WTF

Agressive bot lane works well as always... guess my brother and I will just go Leona/Varus or Zyra/Graves for our placement matches.
First match we went 1/0/9 as Zyra and 10/1/5 as Graves, they surrended at 20...

post to commemorate getting randomly matched against foolno in soloq

i know someone who got placed in plat 1 and lost one game and got an instant demotion
harsh

tsm won?

A lot of people thought it was boring before.

I only like it because I like melee. =/

Lesson of the day: Never play Riven mid unless your name is Faker.

Dig is still bad. Expecting a perfect score on C9 though.

Building damage still works in a lot of matchups. Offence tree got buffed as well, don't forget. It's part of the reason Riven was so strong.

Bjergsen won but EG lost. So, NA 1 - EU 1?

Not really..
It got nerfed and buffed, but it didn't receive anything significant like the defense tree did.

i tried and very strange things happened last game

I played with a midlane that played last game with xPeke, I want too :'(
