Actually the lol equivalent to "i'm in gold but my macro is perfect" is "i should be 2000elo but i am in elo hell"

What does everyone consider to be decent in lol? Gold? Platinum?

The LoL equivalent of yellow ranks in bw or masters in sc2 (i think?)

Being good at LoL is alot harder than SC2, so id say like 1800 elo = high masters?

bw prob be like c-/c rank id think


yes but what does 1600 elo equate to in world of goo skill? bcuz i beat world of goo and i have a lot of "OCD" awards for perfect completions on levels, what elo does that make me?


Probably about the same elo as having a brown belt in Karate.


More seriously, let's not start this again. There's no meaningful equivalence between LoL and SC2 ladder ranks. About the only meaningful comparison you can make at all is based on %ile of player population (but I don't know the numbers there); and that still doesn't answer anything about difficulty.

I don't really want to compare them, but there should still be a place for the word "decent". Obviously in BW the percentile you'd have to be at to be considered decent is a lot lower because general skill is higher, whereas LoL its probably a lot higher because people are bad. I used the comparison because the word decent is so subjective :X


I think you can quantify decent as in more than 60% of your games, you get >80 CS by 10 minutes and don't lose lane.

But then I had a game(1500 elo) where enemy vayne has 102 CS at 10 minutes, 190 at 20, 3/1/2, but got caught and focused in every team fight.

Mechanics only go so far, gamesense, experience and skill do the rest.


that's like the story of my fucking life.

No, it's not. Polymorph as a term to mean "shape shifting" has existed long before Warcraft.

What? Did you mean to say mid or...? Cause mid is about the last lane that I'd call a farmfest. Especially when that's basically all top lane and bottom lane is. Mid lane is usually the lane you get to see kills in...

I'm not watching SotL but I think Xpecial is just trying to be nice with a statement like that. He might as well have said, "we're all even in skill but we want a top laner who's better than all of us."

Eh. I think he's more referring to when both mid laners get blue buff and can just insta-clear waves all day np.

id say that team fighting is by far the weakest skill of low elo players, which is annoying because if you are behind people want to surrender straight away. ive been outlaned so many times, seeing the other guy with more cs than me, only for him to play team fights so bad. obviously mechanics arent super amazing but its quite suprising how ok at laning low level people can be, atleast in farm lanes.

Yeah, at my shitty ELO (1200~1300) I've won so many losing games, like UTTERLY fucked games, simply because once team fights happened my team fought better. It's why those impossible 4v5 wins are actually possible at this level. People just do team fights bad.

Ah, sounds more like a blue buff nerf then. They said they wanted to nerf it a long time ago, iirc they want to reduce the mana regen on it by a lot but keep the CDR.

Okay, so after reading the thread "LoL takes #1 E-sport spot in Korea" I got a bit curious about the game. I played a few games 1 year ago maybe but there was some things I didn't agree with in the game and that was that.

Anyway, now I want to give it a go again and give it a honest try for over a months period or something, but I got some simple questions.

Which server is the most active one and where do all the serious players play? (Everyone doesn't play on their region server do they?)

You play first "unranked" games where you gain levels for ingame stats and wins(?) to lvl 30 and after you have done that you can start playing ranked games to build on your ELO rank?

Is there a hero or heroes I can buy and be able to pretty much go mid and win the game by my own by good ricing and ganking untill I get good enough rank to play with competent people? I mean like you can do with Nevermore/Soulstealer in DotA/HoN.

Who is the #1 player and team in the scene right now and where can I find reps or stream to study?

Kisses

Generally europeans play mostly on european west server and NA players on the NA server, those make the most sense ping-wise. West and East have same pings but West is significantly more popular.


Good, relatively simple champions for soloing mid and carrying: Sion, Leblanc, Tristana for example

Ehh I'd say Moscow 5 and Alex Ich but that's highly subjective.

yes, a hero like this exists, which is why everyone is 2k elo

you can outplay your opponent and carry with almost any hero in lol
