is it worth it to try to get to 2.2-2.3 from 2k? Like will it make me better at 5s? I play jungle now so 0 mechanics needed. What are the differences between the two brackets? The few highest elo bracket games I've been in have all been trollhouses.

As a Karthus main, I'm massively disappointed to see that change going through. It feels like a gigantic and unnecessary nerf, when I thought he was in a good place after his ultimate cooldown was increased.

Any Karthus players who think this won't actually be that big a deal? Maybe I'm just having a knee-jerk reaction to losing so much mr and armor shred on W.


As a former Karthus main, and still avid Karthus player (when I want to play fun games, I'd play him all day in an All Draft All Mid or All Blind Pick all Mid), I'm pretty upset that they continue to nerf Karthus. They nerfed the passive, nerfed his ult, and now they have nerfed his wall. Leave my Karthus alone.
Abstracts, the too long didn't read of the educated world.

I think I've improved as a player immensely when I went from 2k to 2.3k. Could just be me though, I'm sure there are other players who don't feel the same way.

Why not? Just keep playing and winning and it will be cool as fun. How is it even a decision to get more elo? :3 Unless you mean to conserve it for the shiny platinum badge of course.

If you're not anal about elo points, just play normals. Get your normal elo high and queue into Long Dong/nothinghere, Sacky Chan/ArcZSlash, etc.

Neo, you play a lot of normals right? You played my friend and I told him to say Hi but you didn't say anything back, my heart will forever be heartbroken because of that one moment

Really? I say hi to whoever says hi to me in games. Chances are I won't know who the heck they are but I greet people. Doesn't sound like me to ignore... :O

Tell your friend hi for me.

High Elo normals come down to who wants to win more I would think.

It's pretty much the same as ranked, except people make excuses "lol it's not ranked" when they lose.

err, i believe, he meant does your normal elo get lumped between blind pick and draft pick
or do they have separate elos
and the answer is they are lumped together, from what i gather
