I just played a game where my team's annie kept using her ult without stun. If she at least stunned THEN used ult then I wouldn't mind, but she just kept fucking using her ult without any kind of stun AND she kept whiffing it. Holy god how do you miss the annie ult like 3/4 times.

Needless to say, we lost.

How do you miss Annies Ult? No cast time, huge AoE radius...

I think I have only missed Annie's Ulti one time ever, and I was playing drunken premade normals with my buddies.

Here's a pro tip. When you are alistair and I as nocturne try to gank bot lane, and my fear is about to proc, DON'T HEATBUTT THE GUY OUT OF FEAR RANGE FFS. Then complaining about my fail ganking is just too much.

ELO hell is real

. Granted, I am at 12 games played, so it probably is just a string of bad luck, at least I hope it is.

I am playing with a buddy in duo queue. We aren't amazing ofc, but I have my mechanics from bw and usually win the lanes I am in (more cs/kills/forcing ganks without dying, stuff like that), and he isn't retarded either. I am best with ap casters, but most of the time someone calls mid and locks in an ap char before me. In about half the games I ended up playing Kog Maw, but I'm fine with that and usually do well with him.

The problem is, there is always at least one terrible person on our team. Someone who goes support morgana to my kog maw and just keeps pushing the lane with the pool and denying me farm. A jungle master yi that never does anything all game, while their jungle shaco is literally all over the place. People that don't say anything during champion selection, until they then tell you they can only really play ryze (and proceed to go 1/9 in the game). Or I manage to win top lane hard as swain, getting 2 kills and way more farm, and our vayne feed the graves on bottom lane 5 kills in the meantime, with which he just destroys us.

End of story, 1 win, 11 losses, ~820 elo. I'm not that bad. The only won game included me going 17-2 as kog maw. I am not good enough to do that every game, so I guess I will just keep losing elo until the players are bad enough so I actually can.

bot lane has the least influence on the game because it's usually a free farm and most AD carries don't have a strong early/mid-game presence when they're still building their items. If you're duo queueing and want to have influence on the game to carry, 1 needs to be solo lane, and the other either jungle or solo.

17/5/18 as Shyvana. We still lose cause our Galio doesn't know how to ult right and our Graves is never in a position not to immediately die.

Ok, got a game with players actually worthy of 820 elo, and this happens:

Just queued with some redditors that I started playing with a couple days ago, and wow they are dicks. Im bot supporting with Ali, I am nice and let Graves get all the CS and he ends up buiilding a madreds. Meanwhile both solo lanes are playing like ass, and our jungler is getting shit on by their shaco. Once team battles start they are way too fed and I have shit items from no cs/no ganking from our jungler because the moron laning with me kept pushing the creeps to the tower. Of course I end up getting shit on along with everyone else in team battles, nothing I could do, yet they blame me for the loss.

A bit.

I'd play AP chars anyway, but I don't always get to pick one. I can play other roles, it's just not my best.

I was playing some normal games with my buddy who just started playing, and god damn are some players terrible. Don't understand how teamfights work, anyones role in a team fight, or how they work in general. Not only that, they didn't even understand that towers are safezones, and simple things like lasthitting.

The last game I played, i solo'd top as Shyv. During the lane phase, I went 4-0-0 and personally out CS'd the Morgana and Tryndamere of the other team. As the tankiest character on our team, I told everyone to just attack the targets I pinged and go in when I initiated... but apparently that is a hard concept? Why would you hit the guy with the big red target above his head?

At one point we are ahead 10 kills, and have a 5v4 with their teams leesin trying to backdoor. He had to go through all three towers and a huge wave of creeps, so I tell everyone to engage on the 5v4 and win that. They all hesitated and did nothing but run away after I initiated with Dragons decent. So our 5v4 turns into a 1v4, and I manage to kill three of the enemy champs, die, then get the fourth kill from ignite ticks. After this teamfight I was 13-1-10.

My team proceeds to let Leesin backdoor all the way through the inhibitor, and not even get Baron. The other team respawns and picks off my team wandering around like dumbasses 1 by 1, gets baron, and proceeds to shit on us for the rest of the game.

[image loading]

Then my team told me I was terrible, despite them all being negative in kills, and only having 50 CS a piece compared to my 250. "You only had a good score because you picked an imbalanced champion."

I just don't know what to say. Apparently being in on all but 2 of your teams kills makes you bad at this game.

I can't play support junglers precisely because most of the people that I end up playing with suck. It's the main reason why I gravitate towards jungle champs that can really take a beating and carry their usefulness to the lategame. A champ like nunu sucks dick when playing with random people because it doesn't matter if you counterjungled so hard that the enemy jungler is gimped like a WW1 veteran that had all of his limbs blown off by shrapnel and machinegun fire if your team can't capitalize on it and drag the game to the lategame where you are less useful than the enemy jungler that somehow has more cs than everyone else on your team half an hour later.

My god.

Also, fuck solo tops that don't ward their lanes. Fucking people need to realize that just putting down just one well placed ward can save their goddamned lives.

Jungle Udyr.
Do fine. Tell people not to push as I'm finishing jungle route.
Bot Maokai decides it's time to just assrape the bot minions and pushes to tower right as i get to the bot bushes.
Do next jungle route, get ready to gank Bot. Say i'm going to gank. I start rushing in.
Botlane does aboslutely nothing indicating that they're aware i'm going to gank. Enemy just runs away/uses summoners. Team QQ's that I suck at ganks. Repeat this 3x and just watch every single lane melt. I can't be at 3 places at once. Other lanes ask for ganks as I'm ganking other lanes that asked for ganks. Most ganks fail b/c teammates never use abilities.
