Bronze players blame their loss on OP champs.
Silver players blame their loss on bad focusing in teamfights.
Gold players blame their loss on poor ward placement.
Platinum players blame their loss on their teammates not being telepaths, able to read their minds.

Top lane can be the most wonderful role in the game, yet become the most horrible within the next few minutes. Nobody else can become the sacrificial lamb thrown into the den to appease the lions, not even Supports.

And avatar changing should be banned

I feel like top lane is the most intense one to play because one mistake and you're set to lose more and more. Unless you're Singed, then you just troll the fuck out of everyone.

What do you think of top lane Shyvana, I'm thinking buy ravenous tiamat for sustain + more wave clear, push and roam their jungle stealing shit. I feel like killing the other top laner just isn't going to happen and harassing just means burning their potions which is so boring to me, so the best aggressive option seems to be pushing. I mean generally, unless you're some murder character like Darius and the other top laner is not ranged (yeah right) trying to solo the other guy doesn't seem so cool. Yeah I know that you can zone them from farm a bit but I want to do more.

Hard to accept they're all real though. One of the games (the one with the terrible Lee Sin) had three players with 200~ farm at 25 minutes. I doubt that's something you often see in 900-GRUNKER games.

There was some retarded bug that made some decently skilled people's elo dropped to 0 at the beginning to season 3 so you could have pretty fucking good players mixed with retards. And as far as I know Riot never did anything about that, so not only they were sent to real elo hell, half of the players they'd play with and against were in similar position. Getting out of this range wasn't so easy.

So RIOT opened up for NA <-> EU transfers. And I had an old LV30 account on NA which was eligible for a free transfer. :incline:

So. I can't say how often I'll be playing on it. But any people on EU Potato who wants to play, the new (old) account I got on EUNE is called "r00fles".

Blind normals so silly, two people arguing over mid beacause one guy random instalocks ryze without calling anything. Teemo says he's top despite me calling it before him and I wanted to play jax so much. So I figure it's jungle TF time as we had duo mid for 10 minutes.

Shaco gets FB off me near my wraiths (I went around his first trap and did golems first though he would give up, cunt had exhaust and got away despite karthus trying to help) and kills me again at wraiths.

End result:

Better nerf TF, carries too much even from the jungle :troll:

Shaco should have really tried counterjugnling me more. But I said fuck the jungle and went gank top and just farmed wolves/golems for maximum safety until 6 after that. Also lol at 3 man dive against xin+karthus bot. End result was xin getting a tripple.

Blind picks + calls, lol, how it really goes is, I soft pick TF (yeah I'm getting the OP too), 3 guys call "IMID", then I just lock TF and they can go fuck themselves.

I really want to always ignore calls but since I can more or less do everything I don't want to have the team argue before game in rankeds.

I'm smelling my first Zac loss on this game, they have caitlyn, we have ezfail. Fucking GG

Nope, after I went to kill shitcrock and katarina I just parked my ass on bot lane for 5 minutes straight until finally we killed them 3v3, cait ragequits. Fucking ADC's, if bot is lost it's always GG, only the ADC matters after laning phase everybody else can go fuck themselves so I'll just play junglers that can gank bot. Anyway 18/0 on Zac, seems to be the best guy to gank bot ATM.

This is what I have learnt about jungling - nothign you do matters if your ad carry has nothing and/or sucks while theirs is fed so even while bot is the hardest lane to gank it's the one you must even if you have to sacrifice the other lanes completely, in fact everything you do is just to ensure your AD carry gets to shoot at things in the end, the best thing about ganking others is just to prevent them from having a very threatening carry diver/to get one yourself, but if your carry doesn't matter in the first place that shit doesn't work.

Fucking League of ADC, the worst thing about it is that the variety of ADC's has been reduced to 4 champions of which two are in 9 out of 10 games.

Ye, its just insane. Best i had was maybe 9/0 on Xin is Season 2, an then it evens out after 10-15 games to 12-10 or something.
Only champs I had good win rate was Blitz and Gragas with 30+ and 20+ wins and thats after 100-200 games.
Perkele OP.

I once had 9 Nami wins in a row, and that was just normal games. I've never done better than that. Maybe you should stream. Can't you just keep playing Zac and rise through the leagues?

Probably not since 1/3 or 3/4 of what I do is support depending on pick order, or somebody just picks jungle before me like what happened during both my gold advancement series, also he's banned every once in a while. I probably should play him instead of J4 or Naut though, at least as long as people still don't understand that normal ward placement doesn't mean you can blow your escapes to try to kill the other laner when you don't know where Zac is. I mean I have seen two shit crocks use *both* dashes in an all-in, dead of course I was just in that corner next to blue buff waiting to see if they do something stupid (a hint : he bought two wards and fort bot, now what is he prob. gonna do against this vladimir? yeah wards pff lol who cares about that), several gap-closing mid laners such as diana, kat etc. just wait basically anywhere such as on the lane just out of vision, your later rank slingshot will reach them, or something fucking silly like cait blowing his net to chase an ezreal, oops wrong move buddy here's some snot in the face.

So in another words it's the level of play showing of course.

Another thing is I believe he's an awful jungle duelist and if people hadn't completely forgotten about jungle counterplay at this level, I'd be having problems. Maybe it's because none of the FOTM junglers are good duellists either. For example why pick Vi vs. Zac he's just gonna gank much earlier and fuck with you when you want to do your Vi things in a teamfight, when if you had taken say Lee Sin you can find Zac, kill him, also gank really well, protect your allies in teamfights and kick Zac away the instant he slingshots in if needed. Well I don't know, nobody seems to be playing Zac so I haven't had the chance to play against him.

How do you do support wins in a row, that's amazing. I'm happy whenever I get a win as support, so rare are those.

He's playing nami bro, fish lady is versatile as fuck and has a killer ult that carries teams. Only leona/blitz can carry as good as a support in teamfights but they are poor babysitters and can make or break lanes, nami can adapt to whatever lane you are facing. Expect to see more of her once FotM support thresh gets nerfed and the bandwagon will start looking for a new support to stomp with.

Like Hellraiser said, she's super adaptable and can help fix most (not all) mistakes teams make. She can also have a mean laning phase level 1-3 and 6+. She peels like a queen and has a lot of CC - and she's gotten nothing but buffs since she came out.

I had 14 ranked Taric wins in a row when I decided to support myself out of Silver. In silver leagues, it's god damn easy to carry as support. Odds are your team is the only one that's going to have smart ward placement and competent dragon/baron/invasion/push calls if you do your job right.
