It just seems that you spend a lot less time beating on blue with lvl 1 stats, less time waiting for it to spawn, and get to lvl 2 and 3 much more quickly. each part is small, but it snowballs together into putting you a good ways ahead of traditional blue starts. Plus lets you do lvl 4 ganks with a fresh red and a relatively recent blue.

oh, and less jungle jacking. only one you're really vulnerable to is straight off wraith jacks, but you can generally get mid to cover that if you start at minigolems.


On one of my jungle Nocturne runs I found smite big wraith -> wolves -> blue -> finish clear to be just as fast as starting at blue. The only problem was that I ended with the same HP that you'd get without a blue pull and so couldn't gank right away.

Yeah, i knew that thread, didnt know he can get banned of trolling...with a little of racism maybe

so, no more Brazilian jokes?? = =

League of Legends Subforum is still held to Team Liquid Moderating Standards. And a trash thread like this is not acceptable.

Underhanded brazilian okes in threads disguised as not being total trolls were one thing. This was blatant and not really funny.

I wonder if you could get banned for a white guy tier list.

The problem is that I'm a white guy so I can't see the stereotypes very well outside of being unable to dance.

The thing I don't like about this is that you lose the option to steal THEIR jungle (which is a relevant option because most of the junglers that can afford to start minigols are powerful enough to do so), because your minigols are too far from their red side jungle.

It basically commits you to staying in your jungle longer--something I'd only really want to do on Warwick, Amumu, and maybe Olaf, because most other common junglers benefit from the threat of pre-4 gank/counterjungle options. And of those, Amumu still really wants his blue.

Does this really speed you up? The big wraith only has 350 HP, so it seems like overkilling the big wraith doesn't speed you up compared to just using it on one of the minigols. And I don't think it helps you with any XP breakpoints (e.g. smite big wraith->lizard lets you hit level 2 off lizard).

I guess it depends on the jungler--as physical damage junglers clear minigol HP more easily, while magic damage junglers go through wraiths faster.

It can't possibly speed you up because you waste time running from wraith -> twins only to have to come back down again later. However, certain champs are basically a free kill while they do wraiths because of how much HP they lose, so doing it this route probably keeps you safer and prevents wraithjacking as well.

So, how does matchmaking work exactly?

I mean, should I be offended that I get matched with a Malphite who has 29 minion kills @ 10 mins into the game? Or an Ashe with equally terribad minion kills that goes multiple zeals for starting items? Did I mention this was the same game?

Does the game even remotely consider me near these people's skill levels? Whenever this happens I'm usually +50-150 kills over my team with the only positive K:D ratio no matter what role I'm playing. How does this work?

ur enemies will be as horrible. barely positive K:D ratio means nothing. if u die u lose the game in these kind of games. carry harder. ur not as good as u think u are.
etcetc

That's not very constructive.

I'm not saying I'm good. However, it's not unreasonable to assume some correlation between getting creep kills + buying the proper items and performing better at the game. Such a correlation would surprise me if it wasn't statistically significant enough to place me far apart from such idiots in matchmaking. But I guess, and as others have pointed out, that matchmaking favors speed over fairness? So I really shouldn't be offended when the mouth breathers come out of the woodwork?

I seem to notice a severe decrease in the quality of players (on both sides) if I happen to queue with bad friends and we lose a game. After that point, I get a string of terrible players until I man-up and pick carries to raise my hidden normal elo. Anyone else notice this trend? It's really compelling to make a Smurf so this crap doesn't happen, and I don't need to be a commanding & carrying dick when I play with friends lest we lose the match.

I'm just looking for some insight into their matchmaking heuristics.

hes not being constructive because every other day someone comes in here and makes the exact same post you did complaining about matchmaking. just suck it up. MM isnt perfect. stop taking the game so seriously. OR learn to carry harder and thrive in the difficulty of having idiot teammates.
and most importantly dont use teamliquid as your personal bitching forum. that gets boring really fast.

The wraiths have lifesteal though as well, so depending how fast you can kill it the big wraith may have more EHP in a fight without using smite(im not sure of exact numbers)

my post was a satire of your bitchfest which made me cringe when i was forced to read it.

regardless, it's the advice every "good" player will give you, aside from taking you under their wing and spoon feeding you knowledge.
maybe you just didn't understand, since your allies are idiots, your enemies will be equally retarded.
and lemme get this straight- ur complaining about losing the game when you don't take a solo lane?
also you're complaining about playing with bad teammates that you QUEUE with?
