Quick thought. If you had every position rush an aura item and then force out of lane phase (with a team comp at pro play i suppose) wouldnt it make the team super strong?

Like, Aegis, Wota, Zekes, Frozen, Abyssal. (Seems like a double AP comp)

At like ~16 mins i guess is a good timing for 2nd items.

Wouldnt this give them the opportunity to outright win alot of teamfights and probably take an early baron / push a shit load of turrets down?

I feel like TL did a writeup on one of ex-Azubu Frost's games where they went for exactly this strategy.

We also talked about it a few times in GD. Never got around to trying it ourselves. Add in champs like GP and Sona for maximum auraing.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I'd say it was still pretty unrefined back then still, tbh. IIRC they got Zeke's on Lulu and Wriggles+Aegis on Shyv, when realistically it should have been Aegis on Lulu and Zekes+2nd aura/defensive item on Shyv.

Yeah; but the idea was pretty much the same. Force super low econ game; and then fight it out with superior teamfighting items. Zeke's got butchered thought

How does this make sense. So I lose promotion series 2-3 then next game I win so I'm back in promotion series. Does it basically mean the system wants me in next tier but has to go through this weird chokepoint to visually show it for me?

Ever since I started using that lolnexus thing to look at the team comp during the loading screen, I've been surprised with some of the recent matchmaking.

In my most recent game the enemy team had a gold 3, gold 4, gold 5 and a duo queue, and our team had 5 silver 1's. The gold 3 and gold 4 stomped us pretty hard, I was the only person in the game who held my lane decently and I couldn't really make any headway.

Not that I mind too much, people lose games, but the matchmaking of that is questionable, imo.

Does that sort of thing happen a lot to other people?


Most likely your team was full of silver I's that were getting close to promotion. Since you can't get demoted out of a 'V' division except by inactivity, the game wants to make sure you deserve to be in gold before you are actually put in gold -- hence matching you against gold IVs and gold IIIs. You're never going to prove you belong in Gold if you play Silvers all day.


I don't mind playing people from other divisions but using lolnexus you will realize matchmaking can be pretty wonky. Usually the team including duo queuer have much lower average rank then 5x solo players. But you can still have pretty big gaps for no real reason. Usually the higher ranked team gets purple side.

But yeah, if you want to belong to higher division you need to own people from those leagues


Oh that team I was talking about got blue side too.

Pretty strange. Very next game I did mid against a gold 2 and won pretty handily. Navi's coaching helped a lot!

The more I learn about this league system the more I think it's dumb and obfuscating, and purposely so to hide the fact that it's dumb. I like Riot and I give them the benefit of the doubt a lot, but the league system is just dumb.

Ugh so tired of seeing Blue Build Ezreal. Especially when it's my teammates that build it "cause the pros built it" even when they're hella behind, and don't realize it's an endgame build and they have like 0 midgame damage -_-

Some item diversification arrives for ADC.
Gets hate from community.
Riot nerfs it.
Community complains about limited ADC builds.

I hate on the blue build because its a stupid build thats extremely feast or famine. You either snowball and carry or you do nothing and the enemy adc shits on you and your entire team because they built actual damage items. Its especially frustrating since it seems most idiots that play ezreal cant hit skillshots thus really limiting the effectiveness of the "blue build"

When Muramana/IBG finish the poke can be pretty substantial.

It's not the fact that I don't like item diversification - I like the fact that people are building new things. What bugs me is when people take the build path while they're getting rolled in lane, proceed to do a whopping 0 damage because all they have is a tear, still thinking they can trade, and then getting rolled some more. Then to top it off, they say "This build sux hue".
