I assume this applies to most other leagues as well.

Well, there was a time when 1200 was the lowest rank you could be and be bronze. Anything under that and you were unranked. 1200 is high Silver 5.


I feel 1500 elo games in s2 were significantly more challenging than high gold low plat games now. I know for sure that I play far worse now than in s2.

So my being low gold in S2 and subsequently being bronze most of S3 (switched from 30 to 200 ping lel) and only mid silver towards the end and im still there.

Means ive gotten a fuckton worse? Instead of the "you're just worse" of dropping a league. Im now about 3 leagues worse.

Well, fuck you TL GD

1500 is the cutoff for gold5, 1850 for plat5.

Which is my point. I feel people in high gold / low plat right now are far worse than 1500 elo players in s2.

Not sure why some are acting as if Ignite on Nasus is insanity. Sure Teleport is a good pick, it helps you lose less and later on is the best. But Ignite helps you not lose at all.

I know, I'm just validating your perceived state of things.

From personal experience, gold/plat players from s1/s2 are usually in diamond now. If you look at the official LoL forums now and then people with badges from s1/2 usually have diamond/plat badges for last season to go with them.

I'm just happy i've managed to go up one tier every season atleast, probably could be higher this season if i'd even played in s3 but i'm happy with plat this early in the season still.

Though i got Plat in preseason, so i should technically be aiming for Diamond this season :<

This should be expected, no? When you play a game for three years you should improve significantly.

Ok serious question, how many have recently (ie: 4.3+) Maokai with an offensive rune/mastery setup? Because I started pulling it out a week ago in normals just because I miss playing him and he seems really strong again.

He has some mana issues, but they are a lot less with the Spirit Stone sustain, and his clear is actually pretty godly now. I finish blue at 2:00 and keep powering through all game. He is flexible in builds for the 1st time in forever, and I have even had success building some AP/Tank stats on him.
