Na, Nunu would have been ban material even without his antics, he just made sure everyone knew it as fast as possible (while giving an easy to replicate gimmick for lower Elo to use him with).

Playing against Gold V in high Silver, Gold IV-V peppered with III during promotion matches, and now that I'm promoted it's full-on Gold III (and I'm first pick over 2 Gold II). That sounds weird, considering that I'm supposed to have had an inflated Elo during the promotion matches. Sure, there are exceptions (maybe these Gold II were on their way to demotion) but having it consistently over 7+ players makes it unlikely.


Yeah that's how it was for me as well. I was 4th pick when I duo'd with my friend who was in Gold 2 at the time, and he was the 5th pick. Then I lost 8 games in a row and I must have tanked my mmr. Since then I've picked it up and went from 0pts gold 5 to midway up in gold 4 and winning 20-25lp, but I'm still getting matched with Silver 1 and even some G5-S2 duos. Once again I'm confused as to how the league system works because I've more than made up for the 8 game +/-.

Other peoples' MMRs might be different from their leagues too. You can't just look at someone, see he's in silver1, and be able to conclude his MMR is silver1.

He got popularity because he was smart and first one to abuse and upload a video of 3.9 nunu jungle which only made people tune into his stream.
Personally i dont watch him but he has to be entertaining if he sustains 10-15k viewers.

First it was your friend an now it's you who watched him for the longes time?

You must have been away during the period where the cool thing to do in this thread was to hate on WoD hahahaha.

So, as a player that is coming from a Starcraft regiment of 6 hours minimum practice per day, and looking to try and break into League, where do I find a team that is looking to play at least 6 hours a day (preferably closer to 8-12) and push themselves and accept nothing but Diamond1/Challenger as a goal? Solo queue so far hasn't made me a better player (using my Dota experience as a metric) and I want to push myself to become better and compete.

You most likely won't find a team that wants to practice 8-12 hours a day and isn't already Diamond1/Challenger.

I like how when I go to TSM's website, clicking on TOO's stream tells me that "content is not allowed to be viewed on this site" (then tries to redirect me to justin.tv, which is equally funny).

Get yourself to Plat/Diamond in yoloQ first (preferably the latter). There are some challenger/ diamond teams out there with players who are individually less skilled and rely on teamwork and strategies to win, but if you want to truly be competitive you need that yoloQ skill first. Once you get to diamond 1 you can start asking challenger teams if they need a sub or something.

Otherwise you can try and start from scratch with people at w/e level you are now with pro aspirations. The higher your elo is, the smaller the community is and you can really start becoming friends with people.

No one will be interested in making a team with you unless you're at least diamond or challengers.
As far as solo queue not making you a better player; that's a lie. Solo queue is a very helpful training ground, it helps build experience and dem mechanics. Look at all the top players in all the regions; they all got good through solo queue.

Solo queue is where all the Koreans come from. If you don't solo queue, you don't find a team, it's that simple. If you need a team I bet The Sirens are recruiting.

I love when im the worst player in a team, it just means that my teammates are competent (obviously not when im feeding like a nub, just the worst overall)

But when im the best on my team, i really fucking hate playing league. Like really. Because usually, everyone is just a bunch of feeders and you have to fucking DRAG THEM KICKING AND SCREAMING to get anywhere

When im in the middle its usually alright, cos that other guy(s) and i will do our shit and carry the others, this can happen when im the best on the team too, but more often then not its nope.

I just came off the worst win ive ever had because of a situation like this and its just meh, i feel so exhausted having to not only play my best and give my all, but direct and drag idiots along with me (Making calls isnt the problem, getting them to listen and stop borked shit is)

Maybe people feel this way when im the worst on my team O.o but i certainly dont play like people i get lolol

I dont feel like this is Q.Q or brag because 1) i won 2) im complaining lol

Literally the only person who wasn't basically discovered from being a good solo queue player I can think of is Diamondprox (iirc he was like 1700 elo but Edward vouched for him). Every other pro player in every region was discovered by being high rated in solo queue, or got high enough in solo queue to form and/or join an amateur team before being noticed.

You're not gonna find a bunch of bronze, silver, or gold players willing to play as 5s that much to get into Diamond1/Challenger. Especially since ranked 5s is way harder to get high rated in than solo queue.

actually way easier but harder to get 5 peopel together consistently

way harder if you're all players who somehow think they're better than they are though (pretty much everyone who "just sucks at solo q"

Clearly when I was talking about solo queue I was talking about low elo solo queue.

Extremely late night/early morning games are a lot of fun. And by fun I mean, there's about a 1/10 chance that 9/10 players have bronze level decision making despite being gold. And all of them are utterly convinced they're the only one who has any idea of how to play the game. Which results in fun stuff like passing on an inhibitor turret that is pretty much free while teleporting away and getting your entire team killed for an outer turret.

If SYDTKO counts then yeah.

I can't think of anyone else but it's possible I'm just ignorant about it.
