Yeah, i logged on to post this.

This is the reason for my previous posts on this page lol

Just because it isn't meta doesn't mean its not a legitimate and working strategy. Dota taught me that do whatever you want and you'll win with it.

I have at least a 60% winrate going duo mid--higher than my average Syndra winrate. (Maybe 15-20 games duo mid)


You can't learn proper 1v1 lane mechanics if there is a second person in your lane. I'm bronze 2 and know this. =|

To go more in-depth, you won't be punished as much for not warding at proper times, and you have a second person there when the jungler comes along as well. There are probably other ways it is hurting you, but these are the first that come to mind.


I'm gonna stop doing it as soon as I have more heroes in my pool... I'm fine accepting that I won't learn from 10% of games.

I see a giant difference between not following the meta and this

Lower pick (Xil): Mid

Higher pick: No sorry, im going mid.

Xil: Ok fine i go mid too.

Heres an idea, stop trolling in "10% of games" and use those games to learn more champions.

I don't like your aproach for getting better at all.If you have decided that mid is your role you need to learn different champs with the same playstyle.You can't just spam one champion to get high and then start playing others.This game is mostly about game knowledge.

I like how nobody in the thread right now didn't actually read the previous nature of this thread.


I have played about 60% jungle and 40% mid recently. I'm not Syndra only anymore.

Actually, I believe the exact opposite. You bring yourself up with your main, and then you can switch to new heroes and learn faster because you're playing against better players. Better players = better environment to practice = faster learning = faster improvement = win.

I did and it looks like you play only syndra and elise only in mid and jungle.If you actually want to get better you can't limit yourself this much.

It depends on players more if you can just switch when you are high.If your goal is to just get high and go from there you should pick something very versatile like kayle and play her in 4 roles.

Honestly you guys are raging at XilDarkz a bit overmuch. You're not even actually checking whether he's insisting on mid when hes lower or upper guy who called mid. And he even straight up said he jungles too, to which you responded by ignoring the shit out of him.

Can you seriously stop trash talking people on the forum? So what if, when he introduced himself he had a poor mentality. He's working on fixing that.

i've seen you say this about a few people and their reputation never improves from there, lol. I think you're cursed.

Duo midlane is pretty much the worst lane to go duo against unless it's like a kassadin or something. The purpose of duo mid is to take the tower, not to shut somebody down.

You are duo laning simply because you didn't get what you wanted.

@XilDarkz
By refusing to even consider supporting, you're considered a toxic player. You're actually probably in the tribunal queue if duo mid happens as often as I think it does in your case with you as a lower pick (I've personally reported every single one of them on my smurf). Also, at diamond, I haven't seen dual mid in ~250 games. You seriously need to consider picking up other roles, at a very minimum support. There's a fair number of people that can play a single champion to diamond (Zekent did 2.3k ELO S2 with poppy only IIRC on spamhappy) but even he was willing to play it in other positions, not by relentlessly going top.

edit:: I wrote this before the 40% jungle thing came up. Good on you for learning jungle. Support is still a role that you should know though.

Also, I just recalled why PrinceXizor was bouncing around my head. Wasn't he the guy who advocated pre-rework evelynn as an extremely strong laner or something? and then got smashed 1v1? (I'm sorry in advance if I'm wrong but the posting style seems really similar to what I remember)

Sorry but you won't get as good as you want to be if you're already saying you're fine with not learning from 10% of your games. It would be ok if you were saying that there are some games, where outside of your control, you won't be able to learn much from them, which is true to some degree. But what you're doing just comes across as stubborn and if you're not learning from games that you otherwise could be learning from, you're only limiting yourself. Don't get me wrong, personally I (nor probably most people here) aren't going to care if you go Syndra mid all day every day, regardless of picks. But if you really want to get as good as you say you do, and are as dedicated to improving as it comes across in your posts, it's something to think about.

Play Syndra as a support as well. There is another avenue for you to get better with her. Playing her support means you can just practice hitting spells (mainly her stun).

Dear fellow TL.net user, you should reread the TL LoL Commandments:

9. Thou shall respect forum veterans
Unlike reddit and other LoL communities, there is a degree of favoritism shown towards TL LoL veterans. These individuals are regulars and have demonstrated over time that their opinions carry weight. This does not mean that they are always correct but be considerate when conversing. These individuals have been with the community for a long time and have displayed a large degree of contribution to our subforum.


This is relevant for your Skarner discussion and your grudge with Guitar.

Somewhere in the Tribunal write-up it explicitly states that players will not be punished just for not following the meta. It's main focus is to stop afk/intentional feed/toxic chat.
Teamwork is awesome... As long as your team is doing all the work!
