Well, it's that time in the season when I can't connect to Riot servers again without a virtual VPN (which is essentially unplayable due to ping issues if its anything serious). I expect this to last at least a month. \o/

I love how when the ranked season is over I can play without any issues, a few weeks into ranked and everything is down again for me. Whoo for atrophying skills.

Right now I feel like ranked games are decided by the worst player in the game. Which ever team has him loses. I had a game where I was panth jungle and killed the enemy rumble 4 times in 4 try's and the only problem was our top laner died 4 times to the rumble solo. I took top tower after the forth gank since there jungler was taking drag off my gank. Our adc went 3-0 in lane but finished with a horrible score because our solo lanes did so poorly. After game our top lane said our team sucks and that he wins lane every game but gets no help..... In a game where he went 0/0/1 in lane and died right before dragon spawned 3 times and on a fourth tried to steal by himself vs 4 ppl. He was shyvanva don't ask how he thought that was a good idea.

Well, imo flamers are best dealt with by immediately muting them. It's very unlikely that you can say anything to calm them down. Mute them as soon as they start raging, and just focus on your own play. Listening to or trying to reason with them is just going to annoy you.

AFKs or threats to AFK need to be *ignored*. Do not even acknowledge that they are AFK or threatening to go AFK. They are acting like children, and need to be treated as such.

Duo Queue is so fucking toxic.

I fucking hate that Riot matchmaking thinks that when a Gold 4 and Silver 5 Queue together, a mixture of Silver 2 and 3 players vs an entire team of Gold 5/Silver 1's is a fair fight.

It's not.

Wtf am I supposed to do as the ADC (an ADC that can fucking 1v2 most lanes down here in Silver) when 0 pts Silver 5 (Bronze 1 any day now!) Blitzcrank runs into the middle of Morg/Trist + 9 minions to attempt an E-knockup for no other reason than he felt like it?

...

Twice.

...

Fuck Duo Queue.

People were actually blaming eachother for the loss. It was pretty funny.

hmm, unpleasant placements. 5-1 to 5-5 after 2 DC's and an AFK revive/tp teemo.

just had to share this with you guys; not QQ (yet, still in load screen) but seems like a good place to put it. This guy in my lobby (B1) says "swain is a better champ overall than nidalee. I have never been on a team with a nid and won the game, and I have never seen another team with nid on their team win either"

Logic.

My few days of grinding soloq have been absolutely infuriating. Holy shitballs I'm so mad. Riven keeps dying by herself, keeps going top. I say group, she splits off. Because people like to lose games all by themselves.
We go to follow her because that's the best thing to do or something, but they have a fed poppy (did I mention riven died to poppy when poppy had 2 cs?) and their jungle is warded everywhere. Fuck. These. Assholes.

HOLY SHIT THIS FUCKING GAME
I was in plat 5 during season 4. Placement matches were fucking heaven compared to what I'm going through atm. I went 3-7 because the matchmaking is fucking bullshit, now I'm a 7-16. Got placed in silver 2, been demoted to silver 3.

AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING RETARDED IN THIS ELO THEY HAVE NOT A SINGLKE FUCKING IDEA OF WHAT THEY'RE FUCKING DOING OH MY FUCKING GOD

LOL I feel you bro. I used to be in Silver for the longest time. My friends would tell me that ELO hell doesn't exist, blah blah blah, but when your teammates (and enemy teammates) are incredibly bad, how well you play is less of a factor in winning the game than which teammate on which team is the worst player

fuck this game seriously.

1st game we have an idiot who ignores my pref at last minute which lead me to panick random click a champ for jungle. ends up with nasus (who i dont know how to play jungle with) and he feeds enemy mid annie who snowballs GG.

2nd game support urgot who blamed everyone when bot was fucked thanks to him + cait, and spilled over to other lanes before early game was over. he also refused to buy a sightstone.

3rd game, get super fed as kat, even with jax just dicking around not ganking any lanes, and I had to 1v2 enemy jungler and mid. Then late game rolls around, JAX NEVER LISTENS TO US, NEVER GROUPS WITH US, we had to follow him around and he lets enemy team get baron, shit like that. And then 1v2 constantly against their super fed Ez + champ. He single-handedly loses us the game. He never says a single word in game. We beg, we ping. I think he is a Chinese player though cuz of his name. But I know he can speak English, because last queue, he said some retarded illogical shit in good english.

The awkward moment where you have 450 armor (over 600 with w active) as Malphite against a team that's almost nothing but AD (AD Corki/Zed passive/Blitz was it for magic damage... and I guess stattik shiv) and your team still almost manages to lose because they're busy getting picked off in small skirmishes.

Yasuo started 1/5/2 against Malphite ends 14/14/14... the ineptitude is strong. Finally got our crap halfway together and had a 4.5 man vs 5 man fight (Ziggs wasn't there, he just ulted). You know your team really messed up when you almost do as much damage as the enemy Zed/Yasuo as Malphite and you're pure armor+abyssals. These games are the worst. It's like oh great, now I get to tank the enemy team 1v5 and pray my team gets their crap together in the 10 seconds before I die. Pretty sure the Thresh on our team said screw it and started using his Mikaels on me too. xD

MAN. PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID.
Kalista on enemy team. She is fed. Why? Oh you know, our Vi and Maokai, with point 'n click cc (Vi had triforce so she's easily blown up), do not have the mental fortitude to hold her down. No, why would they do that? It's not like she can run free or anything and stack up infinite damage of rend?
No. They don't use their cc on her. They rather use their cc on the Nidalee with zhonya's.
Platinum = Elo Hell. You gotta experience it to understand.
People feed hard. People can't ward. People can't time. People "make plays". People "take risks" to get back into the game.
Fuck this division. I NEED to get out of here. But some astronomical thing is keeping me here. Stats are good, damage is good, warding (if I support) is good. All I need now, are good teammates.
Like I said before, I really should start streaming or recording these games, they must be too fucking hilarious from a spectating perspective.

Team loses a 50 minute match with baron because they don't go for the win when only orianna was alive, they literally walk into orianna's ult anyway, they go top inhib and then stay until they all respawn and we fucking throw

Fuck this game, fuck everyone fuck everything

ADC goes 7-0 in lane, does nothing to affect the rest of the map. Doesn't even take bot tower.

WHY?

Not sure about the feeding, feeding overall is rarely required, but decent Garens (meaning those that start with 1.5-2 damage items shit profusely over Nasus, there is nothing Nasus can do outside of farming under the turret or die
