Yeah its pretty rampant, one of my friends is already getting boosted back to gold after getting boosted to gold for S3 end (along with ~4 other friends -_-)

His (and their) excuses are basically "trolls in bronze / silver, im better then them, once im in gold i will be fine because i wont get trolled"

Is there any way for me to actually report them and teach them a lesson? D:

I think I need to stop playing while so sick though. My decision making and play suffer so much. I feel like I just play poorly, nothing much to it.

I honestly think Riot should be able to create a system to catch boosters. Have a program that searches for wins/IP address or something and patterns in win/loss ratio over time.

You don't even have to ban them and lose money, you just put them on a modified MMR gain/loss system or put them together with other accounts with weird game patterns. All the bronzies in gold+ skins can play in their own unofficial little offshoot ladder thing and not bother me anymore.

My general thoughts on today's EU LCS:

It was pretty boring despite some oddball picks imo. NA LCS way way way more exciting/interesting.

Not a flame bait post at all.

I'm inclined to agree. Personally, I don't find any compelling reason to root for anybody in EU. I respect Gambit and Fnatic, but don't really find them likable outside of Edward and Ich.

I'm hyped for Fnatic this season.

Rekkles + Yellowstar botlane is exciting as hell to watch, especially their game vs Gambit.

Can't stop supporting them after LoL Fantasy during Worlds.

yeah I had a s3 "plat" cait on my team who fed draven 7 kills pre level 6 that said she was boosted but then next game I got lucky and went top vs an irelia that was boosted to diamond last season that didn't know the meaning of ward and fed myself and our kha6 jungle to a 20 min surrender and most likely was bronze based on her triforce no boots build when she had no tower at 6 mins vs a singed. the whole elo boost puzzles me I could see the logic of having someone play a promotion series for u but when u get boosted so far above your skill level that you get crushed every game how can that be fun?

Ego's a hell of a thing. Nice thing about working from the bottom on up I don't have to deal with boosters, just you know players who actually do build tri-force vs a singed as a first item ^_^

They had initially tried out making his R a utility based by letting it be used more often for much damage, but have seemed to settle on just lessening the damage.

Does anyone know the standard build for Swain? Also does anyone have any magical tips that will help me play the bird-man better?

Forgive my ignorance but I don't mid lane very often so I have no idea what core items are for Swain or the match-ups that are in his favor.

Thanks!


Swain is really strong against melee champions with somewhat low burst, i.e. Diana, Mordekaiser, Chogath, Kassadin. He is also pretty good again Karthus. His biggest counters are probably Fizz and Katarina, owing to their healing reduction and good gapclosers (also no stun for Katarina's R).

I disagree heartily with Fizz being a counter to Swain. Swain bullies Fizz super hard, especially early. Given how snowbally Swain is, you can ride this advantage well into the mid game, where Swain can dominate the game.

That matchup goes very hard both ways. Swain bullies fizz really hard early on, but one gank and it'll turn around. I'll admit though, that if the fizz misplays at all, the fizz could just as easily find himself getting dunked on in lane as he can't cs unless he's underneath a turret without losing half his health. The whole game pretty much resides on the outcome of midlane there, because a fed swain is going to just eat every single squishy alive, and provide a wall of DPS, and fed fizz will just obliterate the enemy team almost 1v5. Dunno how it goes now though after the last round of fizz nerfs.

Guys, just a short question. What do You think about mastering a single hero You really like and play him like 30-40-50 games in a row (if possible) or just main him and play as much as possible in a single season? I'm like I have a few champions that I love to play but I'm getting bored after 3-4 games and I keep changing the target of my love :\

One day I'm like, omg Mantheon rapes jungle (goes 11-2) and decide that I'll play Pantheon as much as I can and I decide to abandon him after 2 days or even the same day :\

I'm wondering if there is possibility to find a champion that suits You, Your playstyle and character and stick with him for at least 60% of Your games.

Admiral Bulldog did it, carry yourself to an ELO where you can learn the game properly with that one hero and then expand your hero pool once you reach that level and rinse and repeat until you have a good hero pool. Learning a new hero at high elo is like being in the hyperbolic time chamber.

Get just a couple of champions you love and play your blals uff. The key is like, as you don't focus on emchanics then all of the extra stuff you learn is good. Like, when you aren't learning how to play the champin you're learning about the rest of the gam.

That's the main advantage. Like, it doesn't mean you have to play only one champion but it means that like if you focus on just a couple lots of the time you're learning the important thangs. If that mkese sense.

Yeah I know, I come from DotA world :D LD and Furi and that's it. I'm just wondering which, I'm currently sitting at Bronze I... after my placements (4-6) I got seeded here in Bronze, being Gold V before reset, I mean srsly, CMON, fucking bronze? And I'm just wondering which position should I play and which hero to carry myself back.

I've tried mid but I've been experiencing all lanes getting a solid beating, even if I roam and get some kills, I'm not able to carry the whole fucken team. Tried adc, did good, farmed good, won bot lane but jungle was mental, mid is getting raped/ganked constantly and top is meh...

I've tried jungle and this is probably one of the best choices to carry myself out of Bronze, so You can help at least 2 lanes to get some good ganks going (but they still keep dying :\), dunno which choice would be the best. Lee Sin is fine, Pantheon is fine as well but I want something else. What can You recommend? Xin is boring for me. Elise? thinking about giving her a shot. Hecarim? Zed maybe? ^^ I'm looking for someone that can deal a pretty solid amount of damage and doesn't melt in 2 seconds. Lee and Vi seems reasonable for that.

I've always liked Nautilus jungle but damn, that guy has like no damage. Even when You hit that lvl6 and u got ult I feel like he's terribly useless.
