There are way fewer dodgers now, and in the event you do need to dodge the wait isn't too long, and your LP will snap back to your MMR soon anyway. Another effect is that there are fewer people trying to force dodges in champ select since it's less likely to be successful. Still no cure for people who play support nidalee though (at least you can start dring+ward) By that you mean Dring + 2 potions support nidalee right? I'm pretty sure thats what support nidalees start with now. The worst is when people call support and pick nidalee. Go fucking play in mid or top lane, don't push me out of support when you're going to pick nidalee and build 0 wards. This whole machete-5 support idea is really.. well, it's clear you haven't actually done it in more than maybe 1 game where you lucked out and the opposing duo didn't happen to punish you. Even I, a terrible silver 1 support, even when playing against better players (such as in TL inhouses where everyone's gold-plat-diamond except me QQ) know that if the support is late to lane for whatever reason, I am free to go maul the enemy AD carry in the face. With how many times I've taken an advantage in lane off the opposing support picking a bad time to go ward the river, I don't see how you're going to disappear for 20 seconds to walk to golems, kill them, and come back after having taken nonzero damage. Not to mention abusing you for starting with fewer wards / fewer potions than me. I suppose if you're 2v1 lane swapping but not looking to force an early tower (idk, maybe you're planning on the suicide lane tower to drop intentionally so you can play CJ Blaze style) it could maybe work, but I still don't think the machete is necessary for this. (P. sure some supports can do it without the machete.) | ||

Challenger is great. But aren't there a lot of people stuck at the top of Diamond 1 who can't seem to win enough to get into Challenger? I wonder if it wouldn't be a better system if they split Challenger into 5-1 with 25 or so people in each division. | ||

I mean...it's rough, but it means you're not top 50 (or 30, depending on the smurf population). Maybe they should have heavy decay for challenger accounts? | ||

That's why Vietnam has baguettes. | ||

I bought a really amazing French cake in Vietnam, and they wanted to write something in frosting on the top and were all asking me what to write in Vietnamese, and I knew what they meant but didn't know what I wanted written or how to explain it to them. And then they just wrote happy birthday. Was a good cake. | ||

Are you missing an N or am i missing something T__T On August 07 2013 08:48 XenOmega wrote: We played a ranked 5. For our first game, we played against 5 diamonds : we are gold/plat. We got raped How does ranked 5s work? Ranked teams have no correlation to normal ELO. When you make a new team you basically start out at 1200 ELO and play against other new teams (which could be any skill level) | ||

Honestly i feel that riot shouldn't baby people, so adding challenger tiers is stupid coddling. but being diamond 1 at 100 LP and not advancing with absolutely no way of knowing whether or not your MMR is going up or how much it NEEDS to go up, is discouraging at the top level, which is the opposite of how a ranking system should work. you shouldn't design a system to coddle the low ranks, help the top players, and then provide absolutely no help to people looking to break into the top players. | ||

There is also a much smaller pool so the matchmaking is much wider. | ||
