If you dodge then lose you will lose less LP than if you had just lost 1 game such that the total LP after playing an actual game is the same regardless of whether or not you dodged

There isn't really a reason, unless you're in a promo series where a dodge counts as a loss, to not dodge games anymore. The penalty is all in your head. The cost is not being able to report the troll who made you dodge. And helping to get another toxic member out of the community is worth the hit in MMR/LP tbh. there have to be about a million better ways to make sacrifices for the greater good of humanity than wasting 30 minutes of your life in a miserable rage filled game with teammates you hate just to add one more report to the hundreds that may or may not eventually lead to some douchebag (who you will almost certainly never play with again either way) getting banned for 3 days.
if you want to be a selfless hero making a real impact in people's lives you should be the guy who bites the bullet, takes the LP loss, and dodges to save the other 3 people on your team the misery of being stuck on a team with that guy.

e. Ran into USnip on reddit. Responded to him in surprise. Somehow get upvoted 5 times for it.
Either TL-LoL is stalking me on reddit or reddit is stalking TL-LoL.

Have like 26000 IP and a ton of ton of pages too. Quick way to check is just check probuilds.net and see which rune pages pros are using for various champions. If you check a game or two from 5-6 different people you can generally get a feel for the different runepages people are running for each champ.

Have like 26000 IP and a ton of ton of pages too. Junglers almost always get attack speed or AD reds (I use different only on Elise), flat armor yellow is still da bes imo, blues either flat CDR or flat AP (fuck Mres imoimo), quints are AD/AP/Atk spe depending on champion which one of those you need to use for specific champion you have to test or ask me

There isn't really a reason, unless you're in a promo series where a dodge counts as a loss, to not dodge games anymore. The penalty is all in your head. The cost is not being able to report the troll who made you dodge. And helping to get another toxic member out of the community is worth the hit in MMR/LP tbh. If everyone dodged the trolls instead of report them, the trolls would never be able to play and therefore be removed anyway. Not that i dodge often / can remember the last time i did lol.
Multiple problems here. Firstly, you get punished a lot more for dodging than for having someone dodge a game you are in. Thus, the trolls still get what they want, which is to annoy you.
Secondly, most people don't troll all the time, only when they don't get something they want. Their goal is exactly to make you dodge so they don't have to take the penalty for it and can requeue again, because they didn't get the role they wanted, or they don't like your firstpicks pick, or whatever. Fulltime trolls are a lot rarer than these "I don't wanna dodge so i'm gonna try to make YOU dodge" guys.
And i agree, LoL definitively needs a pregame report button for those assholes. There is really no reason you need to waste 20 minutes just to be able to report the dickwad.

My jungle pages:
Eve: AD marks, armour seals, flat AP glyphs and quints Eve with MR: Same but with scaling MR glyphs; I only use this against like triple AP comps Jarvan: AD marks, armour seals, 6 flat CDR/3 MR per level glyphs, attack speed quints Elise/Nunu: Hybrid pen marks, scaling armour seals, 6 CDR/3 scaling MR glyphs, 1 AP/2 attack speed quints
I just use a normal AP page for Fiddlesticks.

flat AD quints are pretty much strictly better on Eve those splits on some of the blues and quints on elise+nunu are pretty weird, can you elaborate please?

In other jungle news, Morello says recent jungle direction has been completely wrong.
. In fact, I think our jungle direction has been completely backwards over the last few seasons. That's our bad and I think the results are clear.
To that, returning different ways to succeed at the jungle is key to restoring choice, and making it not a chain-gank fest in lanes. I'll give more details on this in the coming months, but directionally we're totally in agreement.

Thread: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=4759361 yeahno I somewhat disagree with Morello and the people talking about "bring back old jungle" are complete idiots who don't remember what old jungle was like. I think Morello's wrong in the sense that there was never "different ways to succeed" in the jungle. There was only ever one way, it just so happens that in the past, the ways to succeed were different than what they are now. Furthermore, jungling is definitely not a "chain-gank fest" nowadays. The "chain-gank fest" days were what? Season 2 with the nonstop tower dives?
Season 1 jungle had probably the least jungle diversity since the jungle was so damn brutal. If you weren't a super sustain jungler you were fucked - if you translate that to modern play, it'd probably be even worse and junglers would be even more marginalized since teams are a lot more coordinated nowadays.
Season 2 jungle had two metas so to speak. One where aoe junglers were insanely strong and one where junglers were pure supports. In the meta where aoe is king, variety is also low since if you don't have good aoe, you simply can't compete.
Season 3 onwards had mostly jungles who have strong early game power or were support-y because farm is finite and teams realize that you simply can't have 4 farmed champions on the team so junglers get marginalized and only the support (ie naturally tanky with large amounts of base utility) or strong early game (Lee Sin, Elise, etc...) junglers get played.
Imo, Riot is never going to be able to create a jungle where any option is viable and if they keep trying to, all they're gonna do is continuously rotate the pool of top tier "viable" junglers. Reverting the jungle and going backwards isn't going to help jungle champion variety, it'll just change the jungler pool to what it was in the past.

Pre 4.13, AP quints definitely were better. After, I'm still not sure. I'll have to do some testing; the numbers I've looked at have been quite close. The nunu/elise page I just copied from Saint/Dominate.
