Whelp, I played drunk too much and got on some serious losing streaks on my main. It's really really really hard to pull myself out of this rut with how shitty people are.

matchmaking rating system seems to be working as intended

Can somebody please explain how this god damn league system is supposed to work. I got to the clamp zone you know gain 1 point per win, lose 5 points no big deal. Then I was on 98 points, lost a game and lost 20! Like I went positive in matches today to end up lower in points. This shit is fucking stupid.

It's based off of your MMR, So when you lose more points it's so that you have to win more to get back to where you were. If you do it it increases your MMR. I have made it to 3 promo series, 2-0 disc in my first. Got knocked to zero points on a 8 game loss streak, but made it back to my promo series in 5 games. lost that promo 0-3, made it back in two games, lost that one 0-3, and currently at like 70points after 1 game. Your league is just cosmetic, your MMR is what matters, I playa gainst mostly gold 4-3 players and I'm only silver 1.

That probably means that you're close. Same thing happened to me when I got promoted to Gold. Clamping, hardly gaining or losing any points, then suddenly lose a bunch of points from a loss. You'll probably get a lot of points for winning now and won't be barred from hitting 100.

I had a 14% win rate with Jayce earlier this morning. Man he is so hard to play or there's something I'm missing. His escapes aren't terrible. Better than Voli maybe but worse than jax or lee.

He has the potential to outtrade just about anyone in lane. But I don't know why I always lose. I feel like part of it is getting unlucky. Late game though, there's nothing all that special about Jayce. He can't initiate a fight like malzahar or tank like Ali or chase people down the way ~~Jax with mallet can~~ s2 Trist could.

Down to Silver 2.
I feel like my build is getting better, but I just can't win when I play Jayce. It's a curse.

I call mid, pick Evelynn; someone calls top, picks Jayce, then someone instalocks into Rengar with Flash+Ignite, Jayce locks in too, saying "Well, I'll go top anyway

". One of the other two picks jungle Nocturne (the decent one), the other one hard randoms Maokai.

Good thing I dodged. Normals can be so stupid sometimes.

I swear I just supported the inspiration to this, but she couldn't stop raging enough to win. This Trist was totally ADCULGIG.

I single handedly lost 3 or 4 games this night in laning. Always the same, friend of ine and i play lulu tristana, he destroys the lane hardcore, but i see those non-existant healthbars at lvl 2 under their tower, so my little tristana jumps in, misses and gets blown up. I feel soooooo stupid. We were crushing them in CS, they would have lost soo hard, but everytime i give 1 or 2 kills to them with my stupid tunnelvision and they get the chance to go to late game. FUCK ME! And although we established, that our botlane is stronger with him as support, i would totally understand if he wouldnÄt want to do it anymore

Also, every game has a fed akali against me. FUCK!

Yeah... I think it's time to nerf Akali into oblivion. Too stronk.

I see her in a lot of games these days, and she seems to be really strong solo but really needs a team to back her up.
However like yesterday I had an Akali and Rengar dive me every single teamfight (I was Varus) and blow me up, while my team just sat there at the front trying to kill their Thresh. FFFFFFFFFF

I ban Akali whenever I'm Captain so I don't have to deal with her. She is the perfect champs for abusing soloq: high burst, high mobility, players don't punish her in bad match-ups and they don't focus her in a teamfights (like the guy above). Oh and people don't grab pink wards to deal with her in lane. Not to get too far away from the QQ, but I played against an Akali the other day with a few friends and some randoms but we were all always carrying a Pink Ward and it was glorious.

Tired of being camped, then using a death to check lolking, and turns out the jungler is premade with my opponent.

I'm not sure I'll ever get over how bullshit Anivia is by design and for all intents and purpose, either. Effective 1015 range point'n'click slow + doubling her E damage (and making sure she'll hit it since you're slowed), free farming galore, extremely high base damage and ratio on all of her spells, and godlike utility that even offsets her one of her two "weaknesses", allowing her to build tear+chalice to never run out of mana if she so wishes and still retain relevance throughout all stages of the game.

So sometimes you have really bad games and nearly everyone else on your team is doing poorly too save maybe one guy who's doing decent (like he's even in CS and is like 2/1/0 but the rest of your team is feeding so it doesn't matter). And you try to surrender and your team all votes no and then calls you a troll for putting up a surrender vote. Then you simply say that there's no way to win. Then your team harasses you for the rest of the game and scapegoats you as the reason you're losing. All the while you've said nothing bad about your teammates or anything other than, "there's no way we can come back." Then they tell you to stop sucking. Then they engage terrible fights immediately after saying that and all of them die.

League of Legends is the best waste of 50 minutes ever sometimes.

Anyone else come to this thread when you feed horribly in a game and see if anyone made a post about you? lol

Just played a game against a Vi with Dimodprox level Jungle sense. She probably just getting lucky, but she was literally always around for a countergank and went like 15-3 and carried the fuck out of her team. I had an early lead on her but she just kept picking up countergank kills and just became a monster. Man that was frustrating.

You use this so much more now that you've started playing ranked.
