Hmmm, I just want to be good at the game, and I find playing ranked and increasing in league a semi-accurate way to measure whether I'm improving or not.
Although it does feel good to have the highest league when playing with friends

Also, my league client freezes whenever I try to log in. halp

Happy new season!
This shit is hilarious, was plat1 last season. I win first two games against people of my elo bracket (plat1- d3).
Third game champion select... I get matched with Nip Hyrqbot and skt t1 haydal premade (who's that?), another d1 and a d5 kennen. Funniest thing is we lost with that kennen flaming and crying for gank constantly before minute 5. The guy dies 1vs1 to nasus before our jungle finishes his red xD. Ofc he kept feeding/raging really hard after that. Gg even challenger can't carry toxicity.

Overall people are much more nervous and I haven't seen this much flame since the good ole bronze days. Ended up in plat 2, I guess I was kinda lucky. Not that it matters, as others said you eventually end up where you deserve within 50 games anyway.


wasn't haydal a toxic guy? could been him himself
LoL EuW: Zhiroo - By starting this squabble you've proven nothing but how vast your stupidity is.

Being greeted back in LoL with an Olaf vs Heimer match-up is so mean, wtf. ;_;
Also I suck. I died twice when jungler came to ignite+turrets damage (after Heimer died). I took way too much poke from the turrets, but they actively switch targets to attack you when you get into range. That's mean too.

Jungle Nasus is alive and well. Played him in placements just now-- did okay earlygame, then we stalled out till lategame when I had 4K hp and like 300/200 resists and like 500 stacks. Took me like 2 hits to kill their AD's and 5 for their full tank Singed. Fun stuff.

Had a pretty nice backdoor where they were doing Baron, then I tele'd bot and took out half their base too.


I lol'd.

Imagine the terror of Lulu with ability to spam.

"Similar to Lee and Riven, except mana constrained" is such a bizarre statement.

"Similar to Leona, except with no CC", "Similar to Kassadin, except no mobility", "Similar to Singed, except squishy and slow"

you're generally going to be placed lower than you were last season. people seem to have forgotten that you aren't given your status from last season. for ex. 1900 season 2 ending go 4-1 or something in the placements and ended up being 1600. matchmaking is also notoriously stupid. early season 3 i got put against duoq nyjacky and stv both over 2k pts plus a 2.4k+ season 2 player at that point vs a bunch of 1500s

Well since Riven has everything but mana (and sustain), you might as well define her by what she is not.

Riven doesnt have range either.

Her kit actually isn't that great. Its just a case of Riot ignoring her gapclosing/escapability/manalessness in balancing her numbers.

I really don't approve of the Riven HP5 + shield change. Riot's talked before about how they want to have damage stick to Riven and have her depend on good shield usage to deal with damage, yes. However, this hit to her HP5 is so great that playing her will be less intuitive.

Every champion in the game has base health regen. You play your champion with the expectation that they're going to regenerate health over time, and your decisions may be affected by that. Gutting Riven's HP5 means that when players make those decisions, they'll expect that Riven's health will gradually regenerate when in fact, it only heals a near negligible amount. It's a hidden weakness that only Riven will have, and only experienced players will know about.

Only had 1 troll game so far in the 5 I've played, and it was the most troll shit ever, DuoQ'd bot lane trolled because support was taken so I was against a trilane for around 3 minutes...

Apparently the reset has helped my MMR though, since I ended S3 at Bronze 1 and Preseason at Silver 5, with my MMR being around Silver 2/3, still around tha MMR, but there are more Golds that I'm getting into now, going to try and finish the placements tomorrow/next day ^^

There's no doubt in my mind that that change is either a) a mistake or b) Riot's lost their mind.

to me, having a strong enough desire to increase your MMR that you schedule your gaming around it seems incongruous with an apparent desire play ranked as little as possible.

It's actually totally in line with the attitude of someone who hates playing ranked but wants to have as high of MMR as possible for the purpose of internet dick-waving contests. Which probably describes the majority of people who play ranked.


Or someone who only a game or so a week and wants to be in the rewards without having to grind for it.


If someone is serious about rewards, they should be serious about earning it.

but that's just me

Didnt you sneak into d5 like a week or 2 before rewards kicked in? Lol


I had reached D4 long before that and had to climb back up from P3 due to decay

Well, they've taken small steps on this one. On release I think Riven had absurdly high HP5, eventually they brought her down to be fairly weak on regen as she is now (bottom third of all champions, #2 lowest melee after Rengar), but damage still doesn't stick to her at all, so they take it a step further. Not sure what alternatives there are other than big shield nerfs which make her less flavorful and skill-oriented (assuming spamming all your skills all the time is a skill).

I'd really like to see nerfs to Hydra sustain, it's totally absurd on champions with innate lifesteal (mostly looking at Lee). Healing from 1/3 to full while the other champion hits you because you're in the enemy minions is outrageous.

Riven Hp5 is probably supposed to be 5. Here's probably what happened:

Ghostcrawler: Morello Senpai, we've decided to nerf Riven's regen again, what should we lower it to?
Morello: Uh, let's try 1.(meaning 1hp/second)
Ghostcrawler: (under his breath)Doesn't 1p5 seem kind of... No, listen to Morello Senpai.
