Build one armor item, like a randuins (also good vs jhin) or a dead man's plate (because the key is armor AND health) and you should never die indeed. I'd buildnit after botrk and rageblade because after that your extra offensive items are just the cherry on top.

I feel like it was a lose lose. Like if I start building armor then I get the "report varus he's building armor reeeeeeee" and if I don't I just lose. When the obvious solution is just barrel down their weak 5 man with a bot lane who was giga fed. The saddest part was the enemy Kassadin went in all chat and went "you let me hit level 16 gg", like everyone in the game but my top and jungler understood that we had to just group and win

I started spamming Diana mid a month ago and I've climbed 3-4 divisions up thanks to the moon lady, but now I'm suffering because the system believes I'm much better than I really am. Just got my first win after a 10 game loss streak. Don't remember the last time I've won my lane. It hurts the most when I'm losing lanes to mages I used to main and think they're bad.

Gotta love when your top laner afks at level 4 and comes back 15 minutes later so you lose a 4v5 that the enemy team spends the entire game shit talking you during despite 3 of the 5 members of our team outdamaging everyone on their team. #lowELO

I literally wouldn't believe someone if you told me this, but just had a midlaner do 14 damage to champions in 25 minutes. And they say ELO hell isn't real

I think my favorite part of low ELO is smashing every single 9 other players on the map in every stat, losing, and having to listen to your team the entire game tell you that THEY are in fact carrying you and you are doing nothing. To truly be in such blissful ignorance must be nice

I've had the joy of getting toplane entirely for the last week (queue support/top). I now understand why everyone understand hate the lane. Played a couple of ADC games and I have no idea why Reddit is spammed with ADCs complaining.

I can't play top lane anymore without a duoQ partner. Its just too tilting to lose because your jungler doesn't remember you exist because some LCS caster told them its an island

Somehow, whatever role I play, it's always an island. Our jungle (Zac) somehow didn't gank a lane that was cearly, visibly getting pushed in while he was clearing botside jungle on red side. He just strolled on to topside. I pinged multiple times for assistance. We then got forced out of lane because of their jungler and midlaner collapsing. Somehow mid/jungle diving coordination is easier in low plat/high gold than reading the map.

My last few weeks have astonishingly surreal.

I need another huge break from this game so I uninstalled it once again lol

This is me every 3 months. I played a few normal games again and I got another taste of how toxic everyone is, besides lopsided matchmaking (P1-D3 5 man premade vs lv 25 players, how is this legal). Probably going to uninstall today, after trying another URF game.

Also, having a Bard stand behind you in lane, procing Aery for half the damage of enemy Yuumi during the entire laning phase (300 Aery damage in 15 minutes!!!!!). Roamed bottom half of the map for every meep, resulting in bot lane hitting lv 6 when he was lv 4 and dying to a Yuumi all in, which he 100% would've survived if he had more levels. This dude was Plat 3 btw.

It's not really getting camped or jungler ignoring you that bothers me. It's how a majority of the games feel like you're playing against the champion and not the player if that makes sense. Counterpicks in top have gotten so onesided it's actually insane.

At least this past week have made me fall in love with Apex Legends again.

#ELOHell things:
my top laner ? pings me because, while he's DEAD, I'm taking three waves in his lane that both crashed into turret, as the mid laner

and I know he did it purposefully because he did it twice, once for the first wave and told me to leave, then once again for the 2 later waves. Post game lobby "team difference". like bro you're not smart enough to understand that wave going to carry > wave going to turret

Yeah one of the things I absolutely hated about dying in a lane is when the jungler was in your quadrant and prefered to take one jungle camp over 1-2 waves of gold+exp. He could just return to his camp later what the fuck.
It doesn't matter that you call them out on it because you'd be called toxic for doing so.

I got called bad an feeding for catching those two waves, then still going to mid to catch the wave there, missing like 4 minions combined. Meanwhile our adc literally afked, but its the damn dirty mid laners fault for having two rift heralds spawned in their lane taking all of their turrets with no response from anyone on the team

You'd be called toxic for telling a jungler to take minions from your lane when you're dead?

You legitimately underestimate the brains of low ELO. Yes you 100% would be called toxic for even suggesting your jungler go somewhere they don't want to be

I can't imagine someone getting mad for telling them "dude you could take my lane minions when I was dead". It's not even calling out a mistake, you're just showing them an alternative. It's probably spam-pinging that triggered their anger.

Tbh I understand low level junglers being reluctant to take some free lane minions for themselves, considering how often dumb laners lose their shit when they see you last hitting minions under their tower. Then again, if someone's so fragile they can't deal with unjustified criticism from their laners, they shouldn't queue up as junglers in the first place.

Low ELO jungles imagine they're all the 10-0 Diamond Master Yi. Don't you fucking dare tell them where to be on the map. Enemy Kassadin in the mid lane? Don't you dare suggest they gank. Minions they could take literally on the same screen as the camp they're on? Wtf are you thinking.

To be fair playing jungle in low ELO is cancer as fuck because the amount of times you dedicate your time/resources bot lane only to find your top laner got solo killed 8 times so you're fucked is truly a terrible experience. And then the adc you poured your time into just stands melee range of the enemies anyway. So now you've wasted your time, AND you have the other losing lane

ELO Hell quote of the day from my 0/8 top laner. Me, the 12/4 mid lane Mord being asked to build more damage instead of Spirit Visage/Thornmail to deal with their insanely fed top/jg/adc and responding that my teammates fed too hard so I have to build tank to survive, because no one else is:

"I AM building tank" (with Black Cleaver, and the two components of Frozen Mallet in his inventory)

I asked him how much armor and MR those items gave him, he wasn't very happy about that

That was a Gnar, no? Or maybe an Olaf, but Gnar is a big noob trap imo. He's been nerfed repeatedly so he doesn't turn enemy melees into a minion automatically, and now actually needs to time transforms to have ult for plays on the map. In soloQ, that's pretty hard because people fight for no reason at random times.
