I looked at nunus win rate not long ago and people who played him lots had great win rates and people who didnt had terrible ones. Maybe that knowledge became common enough that randoms could succeed upping overall win rates.
I saw the 50+ games winrate but, since picking nunu has been a joke for so long, I assumed that the winrate for newer nunu players was being artificially deflated by trolls.

All about making other jungler as useless as you.
|
clash mode looks cool. no clue how i'm supposed to field a full 5 man roster that can constantly free up their schedule for events within the same elo bracket.
ranked 5s never worked for me in season 1/2 even with 10 man rosters and very scattered elo ranges because people always have other shit they have to do
|
so there will be separated layers for different elo levels? like lets say your team is placed in gold after members soloQ ranks are calculated and averaged and then the team only plays in that elo? Something like that?
|
According to reddit, accounts will be tied to SMSable phone #s to try and curb smurfing.
|
so can't you tie phone to the smurf account? or they gonna do it for all accounts? unrelated to Clash?

I have my wifes cell and ny personal and work so i could ahve 3 accounts! That being said i only use one, but i could.
yeah some people will have such options, but overall the phone thing should make smurfing in clash harder and rarer. I would assume that most of the smurfs will not have wife and work phone and using someone else's phone could be inconvenient more or less

They can use their moms' phones too
|
If riot really wants to reduce smurfing they should add a toggle switch that says “are you drunk right now” and give you two MMRs depending on how the switch is toggeled.
At least among the working adults that I know this is by far the number one use case for smurfs. If you went to the bar with friends after work you don’t want to go on a huge losing streak if you play after you get home.

Why can't you just play normal drafts or ranked flex?
|

Can confirm, playing flex alone is for masochists only

Normal draft is also not fun for this reason. Even if there's no flame, playing against a premade who dump on some lane because the opponent is already a whole league lower is not fun. Same with 4/5 man premades.
|
Afaik premades are usually matched against people with higher personal mmr (unless another premade is available for match ofc)
|
That is my understanding as well, but I'm 95% sure those rules are relaxed in normal drafts, simply because I've been playing it for a month or so, so I assume my MMR is not fluctuating greatly, and I am still ending up in games where players are between D4-S5. In fact I've started hitting up op.gg 5 minutes into games because I'm seriously wondering why my ADC counterpart very obviously struggling to even stay in lane against me, and some other lane is getting obliterated, because the poor silver guy is getting camped by two Plat buddies.
Tbh I think that's OK for normals, they're not supposed to be taken very seriously, but it makes the game mode pretty lackluster. I had originally wanted to use it to practice until ranked was more balanced, but I gave up, and since starting ranked again I've realized I'm pretty rusty.

Not about the opponent for me. It’s about being the odd man out in someone else’s premade. All your calls are ignored, the jungler is sure as shit going to gank for one of his friends if ever. And at some point he will gank for his friend who is feeding the hardest and give up a 1v2 double kill because his useless friend is baggering him into decisions on discord or whatever.
But if you get dove because your jungler is constantly showing himself body guarding his crying friend you are mistaken if you don’t think the ? Pings aren’t coming.
I don’t share your normal draft experience at all, but I think it’s pretty normal this time of year. Everyone who normally doesn’t play normals will be bunched into silver mmr so hilarity will ensue.

Still shit games. You shit stomp them hard enough that you can win 2 v 5s or you lose.
