Obviously you keep improving, but when do you reach a decent level before you "figured out" the basics of the champ and do well? 5 games? 15? 50? I need to cut down my novelty-seeking behavior, I think I play new champions long before I ever get good at any of the ones I have. Kayle/Jax top too tempting to try anyway :[ | ||

(All his games from that series are on youtube, "Cruzerthebruzer elo chronicles") Also, dodging seems like the only way to do it without being a jerk to everyone else (i.e. trolling). But then again you still are a bit of a jerk if you're intentionally playing much lower than your true ELO, IMO, no fun for all the others in that bracket. A 2k smurf at 1200 elo is basically wasting everyone else's time, and it's not really fun if you're outclassed that much by a random dude who clearly doesn't belong in your game (regardless of whether he's on your team or theirs, you just end up waiting for the game to end) :-/ | ||

It basically comes down to knowing what you think that champs kit is good for and building them to do it. Even then, 75% of lol comes down to knowing where to be when. You can win games just by knowledge, even if you cant play a champ like a pro. | ||

I need to cut down my novelty-seeking behavior, I think I play new champions long before I ever get good at any of the ones I have. Kayle/Jax top too tempting to try anyway :[ I always play a new champ at least once in normal before go into ranked unless its a support. If so, I will just ask people what skill to max first and go with gp5 items. As TD said, you can will by knowledge and not go full retard. I once play a Brand in ranked after just one game normal and go godlike with him, lol. But some champs are more difficult to learn than others, esp if you plan to go top since there is no one to wipe your ass up there you really need to understand your champ in order to even stay in lane. | ||

You can win games just by knowledge, even if you cant play a champ like a pro. yeah i agree as long as you know the gist of your champ's kit (i.e. this is an aoe jungler. this is a utility AP. this is a ranged AD with CC and no escape) and know the enemy champs pretty well (i.e. if i gank this lane at less than 2/3rd health, he will just kill me instead of running. this champ has a blink and cc reduction. this champ is tanky naturally) you can boil the game down to a lot of basic knowledge. i should be here at this time. i should contest this buff. i should be farming now. i should be ganking now. you'll obviously do better when you know the nuances of your champ in particular (i.e. knowing the exact range of shyvana's ult, the hitbox size of blitz's hook) | ||

If anything the people who reported them were the ones being obnoxious and report worthy. People are such dbags for small reasons blah makes me lose my faith in humanity. In LoL, after every game, at least two people in the losing team are reported. People seem to have this strange notion that being bad is actually reportworthy, i have no idea where they got this. They are also incapable of understanding that there is a difference between failing a lane and intentionally feeding. Plus EVERYONE flames all the time as soon as the team starts losing in the slightest. The combination of these factors leads to a lot of stupid reports. As seen in the "report xyz" which is there at the end of every single game. I literally can't remember when i last had a game where noone wrote "report blabla" at the end in all chat. Assuming that all those guys actually report their targets, in every game there are 2-3 people reported. | ||
