Hey, i myself don't do it or like it either, since i don't think that increasing the statistical variance is something a good player should attempt to do.

However, it is the most viable way to see Anivia's crit animation, which is what was demanded.

Well I'm rather disappointed in myself. Gold in S2, couldn't even break 1700 then, and now, last ranked game I played the person BELOW me in picks is currently ~2k.

I don't feel like I'm playing any different but ever since the end of season 2 but I've shot straight up from 1600 to just shy of 2k.

Yeah as funny as that would be, probably not a good idea since you've established yourself as a pretty good mannered high elo Redditfriend.

I think the new matchmaking is wonky with the way that it values wins when creating games. No hard proof, but I've been seeing some odd things recently.

I will say the one good thing about this new system is that queue dodges are basically non existant now. They did a really good job there.

Really? Im averaging 1 dodge a game tbh, pretty annoying lol

EDIT: First game of the day - Shen pick into my olaf first pick (LOL.) sitting there ready to destroy lane, dodge. Game of dodges.

EDIT2: Dodge 2, Olaf jungle, i guess olaf is jinxed, oh well, i needed my morning shit anyway, will try again after

Edit3: Random "cannot connect to game" bug - restart PC, games disappeared.

Game 4: Troll picker

Lovely start to the day xD

Same here. I'm seeing people from ranges of 1400 to 1800 in my games. It's really odd.

Maybe the psychological stigma of seeing an arbitrary number go down (and, god forbid, become a negative number!) is enough to discourage behavior that is generally frowned upon. People are just weird like that.

I think there's some severe elo inflation going on. I routinely get matched against silver 1's as gold 3 and I've lost like 2 games in about 25 games. Some random dude I added who fit the definition of perennial 1400 elo, never going to get out of it is now on the verge of being gold 1.

Personally I've surged about 125 elo since the changeover- granted I peaked at 1550ish before the change. Then again I haven't had like 5-7 disconnects in a row on my team in about 100 games, and I had those like twice a week for about a month. So maybe I'm just finally getting the other side of the dice? Dunno.

On the flip side, sometimes I'm the only gold going against 5 golds, or there are 3 golds on my team and all golds on the other team. It just seems like teams are really imbalanced in general.

I dont dodge because I get 20 points for a win sometimes and 1 point for a win sometimes. 10 points are hard to come by. the hidden elo doesnt mean shit when its completely random whats going to happen with your LP from game to game
I come in for the scraps

Yeah, I find it really wonky too.

Teams seem so unbalanced Elo wise. I just had a Leblanc lose lane to a Ryze. Died 1v1 level 3. I couldn't even be mad, that is just ridiculous.

Like... I dont even know what to say.

Ya, even the "close" games I have had were games that should have been blowouts except for someone on my team trying to deliberately lose.

When your own jungler is nearby and the enemy jungler shows up near mid trying to gank, the normal kneejerk reaction of 99% mids is to back off slightly or react in a way that tells the enemy jungler he is revealed. The standard and correct play would be to bait by playing the same way and hopefully making the enemy laner blow CDs on you so that your jungler can countergank. This is a very simple and self-evident concept to junglers, but seems to elude every mid laner ever in solo queue.

Sorta ;D, Middle of plat V now and still going up slowly.

On another note though has anyone else tried corki lately? With Triforce being 300g cheaper and only having to sit on two item slots worth of items thanks to the 3 gold thing, I think his built up is a helluva lot smoother than it was before. It's still better, I think to build a bloodthirster first but grabbing a sheen => zeal/phage afterwards seems to build up really nicely since you're pretty much never waiting on anything more than ~1300 gold which is pretty attainable around 20-30 min. Phage is more expensive now which sucks but overall, you get the triforce faster which makes a pretty big difference.

Having as much magic damage as he does also seems to work really well in conjunction with the prevalence of pure AD teams in soloQ that seems to happen all the time.
