Plus bot is not even that good for a duo. Mid + Jungle would be way better. I got raped so hard by a mid + jungle duo once. They just constantly did 4 man things bot, killed everything and got drakes and stuff.

Mid + Jungle is best followed by ADC +Support. Mid+Jungle for roaming and ganking potential, and ADC+Support for communication/familiarity with each other.

Just got a Udyr in my game who got gifted FB during an invade (by gifted he flashed for it), proceeded to rush Ancient Golem before boots, never gank, and not hit anybody in teamfights.

In post-game damage recap, he had exactly one third of my support's damage.

One. Third.

ONE. THIRD.

ONE. FUCKING. THIRD.

Promotion series so much fun once again. Play a very good game, win bot by absurd amounts despite shen ults + nunu ganks. I always am where i am needed, ward everything, produce lots of kills, save people, everything.

Does not matter, enemy got an absurdly fed shen and a fed lissandra. End game with 1/3/16 as a nami support and lose.

Also, i have come to the conclusion that winning bot is not necessarily good. It just means that the enemy mid and jungle will gank bot nonstop, while yours run around doing random shit. This usually leads to the losing botlane being ahead after a few minutes of that, and the enemy getting at least a turret + dragon.

Second game similarly fun. Fiddle ganks bot, via the same route, on ult cd. Stands in wards, does not matter. Varus dies to it every single time. Meanwhile the rest of my team loses so hard it is absurd. Fizz loses to kassadin mid, lee to jax top, and our jungle manages to go 0/3. After all of this, varus still insists on engaging the now 4/0 ez with his 0/4 and complains when i tell him that that is a stupid idea.

Promotion series done. I hate it.

We invade red I am elise jungle. Avoid enemy Jayces scouting for me to steal it, he goes to lane and Im stealign the buff. Our lux decides to leave lane just to steal my red (she used an ability so blatantly obvious it wasnt an accident) and then proceeds to allow me to get 2v1d and killed. It was 2:30 am and I have work early so I rage and quit the game. Im now banned. On the small chance that Lux is reading this, please die in a car accident.

Can someone explain to me why if my team is ahead, they ALWAYS do the stupidest shit for about 20 minutes, continuously fighting bad fights and getting caught until we finally lose. And if my team is behind, the enemy team never does that shit?

Oh yes.

Lets go support (Mid Ap) Lux, that never wards.
Cho that rushes D-cap/void staff mid.
Have a Teemo that afks in the top brush (Seriously... just leave the game. You're not even split pushing.)
Top it all off with a jungle Shaco who's first gank was, at lvl 9, in a team fight mid.

I love bronze.

Why do some many duo's seem so fucking entitled? ESPECIALLY if they want something like ADC and top. What the shit? Just because you're playing together you think you get whatever role you want even though you're last pick?

Yeah, it's weird. Though it is also incredibly annoying that you are ALWAYS lastpick when duoing. And if you are duoing with someone at a similar elo, you are always 4th and 5th pick. That really needs some rework.

Edit: 0/6 Nasus and 1/7 shen flaming each other all game long, both absolutely sure that only the other one is flaming.

cant win lately, at all. I think I have less than 8 wins in the last 30+ games and it's so infuriating.

I main adc and it's so frustrating sometimes, you HAVE to rely on your team to win. You have no impact early game with ganks or anything and you need good peels in team fights to truly achieve anything. And I was playing vs Plat 4-5 at one point, now I'm back to Silver 1-4 and I'm pissed about it.

Well, i guess if the next game goes wrong i am back to plat 5, from having 4 promotion series. At least then i don't have to give a fuck anymore because i can't drop any further. Still, i'd like to get carried once. That somehow never happens. I HAVE to crush my lane to win, and even then i have to also be lucky and not have the stupid people in my team. I guess i really need to learn to jungle if i want to rise in elo, or play mid or something, just something that influences the whole map instead of one lane. But i like support. Well, if i am back to plat 5 i might as well start jungling.

I only play ADC maybe once every 50 games. After losing a game where I'm 18-4-7 because of a Leona who thinks that any time she can ever engage on the other team it's a good idea, I see why. She literally spam target pinged on nearly full health opponents when I was at 10% health. When we were like level 4, she engaged right next to over 10 minions when everyone had around full health. We lost in the end even though we caught someone on the other team and killed them, but a couple people were lowish on health, SO SHE DECIDES TO JUMP ON THE WARWICK AT THEIR TOWER AND WE ALL DIE TO WW + MALZAHAR SUPPRESS AND TOWER AGRO. WHAT THE SHIT.

Also, the servers were messing up and no loss prevent. Goddamn.

Look, it's the good old diamond tf smurf who isn't actually diamond, cuz if he would be he would have some idea of how to play lategame....
Also a trist who had no idea about positioning and somehow a 5v4 with their jungler dead doesn't equal baron 40 minutes into the game cuz they all back away when their fucking gp top shows....
