To me, winning is the ultimate fun. I take every game seriously in that I always try to do my best, never troll, disrupt or flame the other players. If you don't want to do your best in a competitive (and unforgiving) game such as LoL, you should just play something else.
Having said that, I think that is BP's point? You can "have fun and not think about ELO" while still not being a complete asshat.
At the point where I have every champion that i'll ever play/all the runes now its more about winning my lane, or making sure i snowball all the othe rlanes if im jungling that makes me happy. I can sstay happy aslong as I win my lane even if we lose.
I dont ever troll or anything though, unless im playing with a premade of friends

With my ranked team we won the last game, but I didn't have fun. Why? Because despite telling them to remain grouped so we could push for objectives, they decided that they could fight and we almost threw what could have been an easy game. Talking decision making on skype, it didn't feel united as a team at all.
Still, we won.
But I've had funnier defeats.

I guess I'll be the asshole, but if building a champion correctly isn't "fun" enough for you, why on earth would you play ranked? now I know there are plenty of people who want to be super serious in normal games but the way I see it
Ranked:
-play to improve
Unranked:
-Play to have fun
as for this third mentioned type, they I'm going to blame my team and afk because they didn't pick a champion/item I like. Lets be honest these players ruin it for either player in either game type, but I don't see why players who define "fun" as trying to win and those who just want to have "fun" in general have to get in each others way.

And that's the problem.
There's a disparity between enough people in normals who are trying to learn and improve and those who just want to fuck around. For those who actually are trying to improve, it's difficult to find competent games on both sides with which to practice new or weak champions/areas. Most people fall into the first category, but there are enough of the smaller (fuck around) category that it reasonably often causes issues.
The "best" way to practice new stuff is currently to do ranked on a smurf with stuff you're meh with since your superior mechanics/game knowledge/map awareness, etc. will often outweigh your inexperience or inability with a particular champion or role. Obviously, that's a solution that only a small subset can really make use of.

On Ezreal, do you guys think it's better to go Tri Force -> bloodthirster or Tri Force -> Infi edge?
|
on ezreal, the best build is infinity edge -> PD or infinity edge -> triforce imo
|
based on reccomendations on this forum, I go 2xdoran > Phage if I get ahead early, it pretty much cements the snowball lane off of one kill.
however I'd try and get Craton's opnion if possible seeing as he is the #6 NA Ez lol
Edit: TPA About to play on gg chronicle stream, light the Yango signal.

After watching some pros go Phage -> IE -> Trinity and trying it myself I find its really safe and the onhit slow can really add to a gank especially if your support has no cc

I'm waiting for the day when pros start to play Swain. Just too terror in lane, and can kill carries easily, all while being fairly tanky for a mid.
|
Pros do play swain. Salce, Jiji, Nyjacky(I think), Hotshot. I know there are others, but I don't remember.

they are calling him a sub, but it would be a good fit.
|
TPA most overrated team in the world.
|
There's Go0glesearch, he fucking rocks people with swain.

This tournament is his tryout to be their top laner, apparently.

Wouldn't consider a random 2k Elo player a pro.

lol Hotshotgg "I know for a fact TPA is currently the best team in the world."
MTW NA is like top 5 NA at most and they're shitting on TPA lol.
|
I mean they're obviously a top team but they were so over-hyped. People made them out to be unstoppable.

Holy shit that was one-sided as hell. TPA is supposed to be at least pretty good (though dignitas also said they were decent but not absolutely terrifying)

I like how people are blaming the lag on chat and everyone on TPA is like 2k elo on the NA server. Lag doesn't make you that free lol. AAA qualified for Vegas online playing in the same condition.
