Yeah and if you can manage to not get hit by the Orianna ball she is the worst AP user in the game.

Let's be realistic, Cass stomps on Swain hard. Swain is a pretty weak champ to begin with. People pretend that he hard counters melee but that's just not true. Even if he did he would be a pretty poor champ because all the melee you find tend to run around in the jungle, not the mid lane he seems to claim instantly.

game 1: ww jungle. start with FB on their malz. our mordekaiser takes my golems 3 times. all three times it brings him down to ~300 HP and he INSTA-DIES when he gets into lane against ree sin. 2 people then rage-quit. WTF. easy loss.

game 2: ww jungle. d/c on our team. easy loss.

game 3: panth. i hold talon to 5 creeps by the time i've hit level 9. he's level 4. easy win.

game 4: panth. easy win. OKAY SO GOLD RIGHT? NO BRO 1 ELO LOL JOKES ON ME

game 5: panth. easy wi-j/k disconnect easy loss. 60% of EU games have d/c?

game 6: panth. easy easy easy win. gold achieved I CAN FINALLY SLEEP


did i just have the worst string of luck or is disconnecting/rage quitting really rampant on EU west?

You're in the wrong thread.

I'm not sure if this is the right place but it is the LoL forum and it is the general discussion so I think it might fit.

I watched the LoL finals at IEM and it really looked interesting. I've played DotA years back, HoN some time ago, and a friend of mine is an avid LoL ranked player, so I thought, sure, why not, give it a try. It did look cool after all.

My first week or so with LoL has been a motivational nightmare. The patch difficulties added to it, though such things happen and I try to filter that out from my general frustration, but the games ... oh, the games. The horror.

I mean, sure. The DotA community wasn't exactly nice to begin with, and HoN's playerbase is a twisted parody of what a community should be like, so I didn't expect too much from the first games in LoL, despite having heard a lot of praise about it being the more "mature" of the MobA games' communities. But it's the same! It's as if I were playing HoN all over again.

So far, I've played a dozen games or so, and each and every one of the has had either flamers, leavers, incomplete teams, guys preaching on chat about how the game should be played or whole teams saying nothing while being slaugthered over and over again. I've either been playing with loudmouthed (or mute) egomaniacs or loudmouthed (or mute) people unable to react (and apparently unable to complete the tutorial as well).

I couldn't care less about skill-disparities, I expected to lose most of the first games and I have - that happens. But I haven't had any fun so far. Nothing. Except for the first 20 minutes of the first game (before it degenerated into a flamefest) and when I bought Morgana, I haven't really enjoyed myself in this game because how awful team-wise my team"mates" have been overall. Sure, most people on my level will just start the game, I'm fine with that, BUT NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM TALKS (constructively). Noone asks for help, noone chats ingame, noone responds to hints, pings, targets, "care"s or "ss bot"s or anything. Almost every match feels like playing multiplayer with 3-4 other guys that happen to play single player in my game.

Does this get better on higher levels? Do ranked matches have better teams, more communication, more real human interaction? The game does look fun and it could be fun if I felt like playing in a real team, but right now, I don't see myself playing this any more.

5 times 1 game from 1900. None of those games was even close. Then I hit a 6 game loss streak, including 2 games against godrjsdnd IV. He's on his way to get a 4th acc into the top 20 and my rating is collateral damage.

What the hell?, you state you played dota and hon and that LoL is the same in terms of the community and the people you have to deal with, so how is this surprising?.

What makes you think this would stop? You're always playing with or against retards, at any level. Its just a matter of having a thick skin, which you SHOULD have developed by now from playing dota and hon.

The MOBA community is the worst out of any gaming community, if you can't deal with people being retards you should not be playing these types of games. It will never change, because its a team game -- you're stuck with 4 random people. Rage will happen, stupidty will happen. Deal with it.

The QQ from hotshotgg at 2400 elo and joeschmo at 1321 elo is no different, its just a matter of perspective.

Still there. I tried Ryze for the third time yesterday evening. The >100 ping helped me to achieve my actual death record of 14.
I really suck with Ryze.
