5s borders showing in solo q is bad enough. I really don't want 3s borders to also show.

Was Gold IV and getting matched with mid level Plat when on winning streak. Or recently placed. I played a lot of gold/plat games when I had just gotten my ranked placements done.

^this. On my alt account I went 3-7 in placements and placed into bronze 2 but was still playing silver 2's in my first few games.
Also what is the highest any of you have gotten from winning a ranked game? I've topped out at 30 points and that's been from Bronze 2 all the way to Silver 1 now.
|
I think I got 30 from my first win in Gold 5, when I was getting matched with Gold 2s and 3s and Plat 5s.
|
Think I was at around 35-40 when first getting Gold V after all the clamping? Also the Silver IV had a record something like 420-380, so not recently placed, and a decent winrate.
|
I duo'd with a friend who didn't play ranked all season and he got 100 for winning games. Decay op I guess.
|
Maybe they didn't play for a while, and decayed.

(Just a few I found off hand from digging through my friends list for the few bronze people I have, and then checking their leagues ;P)
But as for the silver IV person: He might have been dodging promotion matches.

You know I'd really like a "naked" Volibear skin where he's just a fucking big ass bear, but Riot appears to have no concept for less is more so it's never goin to happen.

Kmax9 still playing thousands of games of Mundo. Got diamond IV this time though.

How do most people feel about the Nasus VU?
My feelings: The old visual style had a lot of "goofy" attributes to it, such as his huge feet and overall retro feel to the character with him being such an old release. I mean did the majority of players really want him to be changed, I never noticed a Reddit thread crying out for such a thing as was done for Sivir. I had come to like how he contrasts LoL's newest character design. I really hope that if Riot allows for a "classic" skin for Nasus, they will use the old model and not do as they have done with Karma. Viva big dog.
It also worries me that Riot now has their spotlight on the big dog as he is likely to receive "balance tweaks" now.

Played with this guy in Gold S2, he had to deal with alot of harassment from players in my game.

The visuals are strictly better. Only real downside is new voice over.
|
the new voice over isn't bad by "new champion" standards, but the old voice over is one of, if not the best in the game, making the new one a travesty.
And trying to tell us it was done in the spirit of the old VO was an insult to our intelligence.

Iunno how good he is now, but when I ran across him in Season 2 he was legit kinda bad :\ Was really impressed at the sheer number of games he played Mundo though (this was before Mundo got buffed and became fotm)
