Obviously you can't always watch everything, so if you miss something I think it helps to wait until the end of the game to give your feedback if the advice isn't relevant in the rest of the match. I know I keep saying this in this thread, but giving your teammates shit during the game will most of the time just make them tilt and play worse. Once the game is over, stress levels for all parties are down and I think it's much easier to both give and receive constructive criticism. On an unrelated note, it's kind of nice to be able to check your opponent's rankings. It made me feel a little less bad about getting destroyed in mid playing Trist vs. Ezreal when I saw that he was top 150 and I'm like in the 2000s. That is probably the reason why I won't play with "new" players until I get to know them a little better. 9 times out of 10, I know what I'm talking about. And if I have a grievance about what you're doing (whether it be item build, how you're playing, etc), I expect changes to be made. I have no problem with personal play style. But don't mistake play style with faulty game play. Some people (a lot of people actually), should just be more receptive to advice. | ||

I hate MM. ur prolly running bad but people have to stop saying that is because they dont have a partner. if your "real" elo is 1500. you will get there eventually. if your duo queuing with a partner that has a real elo of 1500 as well you will get there faster. that's all. | ||

Ashart, alley OOP, some random on amumu, snowflake, and the bro respectively. | ||

Seriously who stands there and lets you LW them 20x even though they are standing behind creeps and next to the turret? I'm considering learning Kat solely because she can solo mid and carry. | ||

This game I was totally helpless. There is nothing anyone can really do against a jungle Trynd that manages to go 6-0 in 10 minutes. Or a Veigar that beats a Sivir mid, going 3-0 in 10 minutes. Even when you give up the 1v2 lane to Morgana (who misses 4/5 bindings), spend 1/4 your income on wards (that your team fails to utilize), and attempt to coordinate the team (which falls apart). | ||

Went like 3-1 or something. I hear everyone here say that AD Ez>>>AP Ez, but I'm not seeing it. Mejais --> Lichbane gives me a ton of damage. How is AD Ez built? | ||

Like last game my team captain was a lvl 25 with 90 wins and 50 leaves. He picked Fiddle with heal and fortify and said he doesn't like jungling. Everyone went -9 except me ^_^ Or yesterday I 2 man queud with 5hitcombo, we get a ww with heal/ignite saying he will jungle at lvl 2, he feeds the whole game. I'm not saying I'm some great player but I'm pretty sure I'm better than 1131 elo. edit: I'm 2-0 in 3v3 arranged and 1-0 in 5v5 arranged if that says anything. | ||
