Throw games until you're bronze then no one will use it. Be sure to climb back to gold before the season is over though or you won't get the s4 ward skin

Why would you need to bronze?The only place people regularly buy wards at is your dreams.

I don't have to be gold at the end of the season, do i? My peak standing will decide my rewards. It was in s2 when we got soft resetted before the end of the season.

New league for next season I suppose, master which is basically a waiting room for challenger which is now rotated every day (No I don't know why challenger is higher than master)

Haha, those are the guys at low elo who are like "you want me to support, bitch? you do? all right, I'll show oyu my fucking support, ENJOY!"

Fun fact: I remember in s2 I used to pick Soraka, stand in the bush and explore the intrawebz, occaisonally tabbing back to heal and infuse.
Funnier fact: I won.


The glory days of Graves Soraka.

I actually played that once with Tolkien on the other day. I think it still works, but requires a lot more work from Soraka to play well.

End of season placement so it depends on if you get demoted out of gold/plat/diamond. Which is possible if your MMR falls enough.

So once the new season starts, you have to be plat or higher for the gifts that were once gold or higher (I can't see facebook here at work if this has been addressed already)? I don't imagine that sitting to well with folks.

I... can't tell if i got demoted or promoted in my low level matchmaking. i've stopped getting diamond 30's. but now i get nothing but korean and chinese players, who only use those alphabets... and they are all really good for the most part generally the same skill level as the diamond players before. the chinese are crazy aggro though xD


When I duoqueue I love running into Chinese players. Basically freelo, they fall for every single bait in the book.

Basically now you're playing against people with pretty good mechanics but not good game sense instead of people who have okay game sense and okay mechanics. Honestly should be pretty good practice all around.

frankly i'd much rather play with a group of low diamond players that actually use the objectives. rather than people who runa round for kills for 35 minutes. it doesn't matter if they are good at it. its frustrating to watch your team chase a fizz around the map after you spent a good 4 minutes winning a war for dragon control.

Highly doubt it, the majority of the players are in bronze-gold.

Interesting how most players complain about Riot greed, but industry experts mostly wonder why Riot doesn't monetize their users more.

well of course? the optimal monetization for getting money on a game is pay to win or to timegate. "pay 100 coins to respawn now!" "1 match every 6 hours or for only 25 coins!"

that kind of crap makes far more money per dollar spent on development.

I'm a fan of the term "pay to wait."

Never been a fan of just mentions of "experts".Riot's philosophy is being aggressive enough for people to put up with.They have been pushing it for a while but since it is their only game they know that they have to be careful.

Also "Gamers are really savvy about value and move on fast when they feel like they’re being milked" a big lol for this quote.
