You're just making excuses. You think ADs don't get fed in competitive play? You don't think its a good idea to try to practice against teams with fed ADs?
What you're really against is slightly winning your lane and then one lane is way behind. You know why? Because you're not doing nearly as well as the dude on the other team thats getting so fed so your team is way behind. Of course you just blame the fact that you get "trolls" every game and never try to make the enemy lane you're against a "troll" make their team rage. Every time you make an excuse for why you lost you also lost a whole game worth of mistakes and misplays and bad strategy that if you really did well you'd be dominating so hard it doesn't matter what joeschmo wins his lane with ad carry you just insta kill him (Because his troll team never protects him!!!!!!!!) and collect wins.

The amount of times a guy actually intentionally feeds is about 10% and the 90% is bot lanes losing and the lane snowballing, they get dived by jungle etc. It happens and your botllane feels useless because support is behind in levels and ad carry needs some gold to get going but on the other hand mids and tops are huge powerhouses midgame so you can easily make up the difference until they catch up and junglers can directly help the lane.
I've been like 0/5/1 and shit on support countless times and gone on to win the game because jungle didnt make any mistakes and was pretty farmed and say top was behind but mid and jungle both collected some nice kills and we just played. You get flamed a shitload but it doesnt really matter if you just keep playing you'll still win a surprising % of games. and this is the feeder POV imagine your options as a non feeder

Re: champions ratings. They aren't updated to begin with, which could explain a lot. Also I guess having a heal and resistances steroid rises Sona's "health" rating. (Olaf used to have 30 ArPen included at all times in his ult, on top of Undertow scaling off of total AD, add in the true damage of Reckless Swing and the %AS from his passive and kaboom, damage machine.)

I always thought it was health->how durable a champ is, attack->how much they rely on autoattacking, spells->how much they rely on ability usage. Nunu doesn't scale off of any defensive stats, so his health rating is lower than Malph/Cho etc.

All I was saying is playing when there is an intentional feeder on your team is not fun. There is literally nothing you can say to change my mind on the matter lol.

I'm real polite. But to be fair, you and I are at vastly different ELO levels. I think it's pretty obvious that the higher up you get the less people intentionally refuse to play with the team.

I might be a bit late to the party, but I will still ask. I saw this 'blue Ez' build with Spirit of the Elder Lizard becoming popular for like two weeks now. This seems to be trendsetting, I see this item on a lot of 'not so auto attack reliant ADs' like Corki and MF for example. I get that the item is undercosted and gives nice stats.
What I can't really believe is that this item really deals its DoT damage on abilities that repeatedly deal physical damage without being a DoT themselves (Corki E / Miss Fortune R). In my games where I tried this item, I didn't see the true damage pop up 'often enough' given that the damage buff should be applied multiple times. Does this item really deal the 40 true damage at max level each time a bullet of MF ult / a shrapnel of Corki's E damages an enemy?

I vouch, i'd give anything to be back at the high silver / low gold i was in S2.
Bronze IV, Always AFK and if not AFK feed and troll.
Screw placement matches.
The higher you are the better it gets, bronze is a cesspool, i'd do anything to be carried to silver lmao.

I mean, Sona has the lowest health in the game and its health is 50... Nunu has the highest health in the game and its health is 60... Olaf ahead of Riven in attack... The only rating that really matters is difficulty, and only for someone who is almost completely new to the game.
Also, I think Riot envisioned Olaf as a melee AD carry -- his ult is pretty similar to Yi's except you trade the MS/AS for armor and arpen and you upgrade the "can't be slowed" to "can't be disabled". Between his passive and W, he has a pretty impressive damage steroid. I remember in low level games people would try to build glass cannon on Olaf all the time. In this context his high attack rating kind of makes sense.
Riot almost never updating their ratings is the other issue, of course.

no, the true damage is itself a DOT over 3 seconds, so it just refreshes.

Going back to potential Riot MMOs, if they made a MMORPG based on the LoL world and it had a good interesting PvP(even like LoL itself) I would love for it to have a monthly fee format. I guess if it's free it -could- work if they manage to handle it like LoL but free MMORPGs almost always require tons and tons of money spent for it to be enjoyable(PvP-wise) or there's stupid limitations like inventory size, amount of characters etc. and of course monthly pay MMOs tend to have much better communities.
