Got a Penta :smug:

On AP Yi :M

In an ARAM :eek:

Should I feel this dirty?


AP Yi is perhaps the "easiest" champion to get a pentakill with, especially on ARAM. Dunno about dirty, but you should definetely have trolled /all :thumbsup:

So I got my alternate account to 30 to prove to certain bros that I'm not a horrible troll. Done my placements and - seeing as how I was supporting in 30% of them, and some here doubt that you can effectively carry the game playing as a support, so here's my findings.

Went well. Sometimes it felt like I was surrounded by imbeciles, but you need to keep your head down, your spirits up, and try to only troll the opposition. You carry yourself, it's what you have to do. I mean, if I can get straight to Gold from placement matches...

:rage:
Yeah, it seems that in the league system placement games bring you into a significantly lower tier than they would according to late season 2 silver/gold elo requirements. On the other hand, you should be getting over 30 league points per win if you keep inning consistently.

Apparently the tech for Viktor to combine augments won't be out until season 4-ish.

So now they're half assing his rework.

Yay.

Yeah, doesn't seem like a new melee ADC at all, more like another fighter. Just got Vik-who on a whim (the potato is overtaking me), so can't follow my normal impulse shopper urges and get him day one, but he looks like he could be fun.

His passive is a Tryndamere ult where he can't attack or move.

As with every champion, the numbers game will decide if he is OP or not. I'm much more concerned with the fact that he's another contribution to mobility/kit diversity creep.

What he does look like is a typical pubstomp champion that will make every scrub from here to BR scream "OMG SO OP" :smug:

The new ARAM has rekindled my love for LoL. It's nonstop action, cuts out all the tedious farming, matches are short, and I've been able to play and master champions I sucked with, or was too afraid to try in summoner's rift. And the best of all- no rage; win or lose everybody seems to be having a great time.

Yeah, I thought so as well, but then came the faggots who didn't see ARAM as a short break from Summoner's Rift. They then started saying shit like this:

I've been able to play and master champions I sucked with

as though that was possible in ARAM. From this they built an "ARAM is serious business" attitude, and now you got ragers in fucking ARAM as well.

Bang-up job, dibens :troll:

Of course SR is a different experience, but ARAM provides plenty of opportunity to learn champion abilities on instinctive level and how to handle them during team-fights. I'm not setting my foot in SR solo queue any more, fuck that shit.

First game with the new Jungle, I play Nunu. Their Amumu sees 0 buffs until the 13th minute of the game, at one point I'm lvl 8 and he's 4. Three Dragons, One Baron, their top ragequits, 20 minute surrender.

The ranked system is still total random chance. It's a total wash. Leavers every other match. I'm getting 20 kills, few deaths, and we still lose cause it's 4 v 5. Total fucking wash.

They should start everyone in ranked at a slightly higher tier. Then, if someone leaves a match, they lose a champion (have to repurchase), and they drop to a lower tier of leavers/afkers. (If you successfully play 10 ranked games in a row without leaving, you go back to normal tier). Problem solved.
