How was your day? - League of Legends edition

[TheTempest]

Slowly working my way up, currently Silver II. I'm glad that I switched from filling, to playing mid and top.

[VerrKol]

So today I won 7 games in a row to put me in promos for Gold IV->III. I ran with my best champ Renekton top and won both lanes hard (against Jax then Rumble). Of course, it didn't matter. 1st game my team runs Ashe+Zyra into a blitz to massively feed because they can't dodge pulls (self countering OP). Next game I have a balls in the wind Kha who refuses to do anything except dive the enemy team. We went from 5kills + drag ahead to 15 kills behind because he refused to stop chasing and called it his "play style".

Nothing good happens after midnight.

Riot touches Lee Sin, and suddenly everyone is going apeshit. I've been harboring a low opinion of Riot's balance team for a while, and now I finally have a mob to run with. This is the best day of my life.

On that note, if these changes actually do go through and they turn out to be as horrible as they sound and they don't get reverted after sufficient feedback, I'm just gonna start playing Dota 2. I stick with League because I'm hopeful that it can be strategically deeper than Dota in the future (Let's be honest, it was before, it made great progress at the beginning of S4, but now it isn't) and be more competitive. I don't like any single change Riot has made to the game ever since the 4.1 tower changes. At this rate I can only be so hopeful.

I don't think Lee Sin is OP or even needs changes, honestly. I'm not a Lee Sin player, but he doesn't necessarily scale very hard, and he isn't played to an overbearing amount like some champions are right now. Lee Sin requires a bit of skill to play to his maximum, and he doesn't scale too hard into late game. He also has counterplay so it's not like he's anti-fun or anything.

The Elise changes I can agree with... She has so much packed into her kit that can be toned down early game, and she actually does scale at all points of the game thanks to having % health scaling damage (both current and missing HP scaling abilities on her spiderform and humanform Q).

I just hate how stagnant everything is right now... Top lane is probably the most boring lane to play right now because the champions that are proficient in that role are extremely boring to play.

Yeah, I agree completely, especially with Elise being my favorite champion--I described her yesterday to my friend as "the only AP carry who can still be a tank at the same time unless Ryze comes back".

Lee Sin changes fall in line with Riot trying to "shift power to the late game". While they're certainly doing that in one sense, they're making a complete mess out of the game and actually punishing playstyles that make the game fun. It's atrocious.

It's almost as bad as their changes to bot/top towers a few patches ago. They need to stop forcing the meta and just let things happen. Why should Lee be a late game champion? What's wrong with early game champions? The only problem with early game champions is if their early game is so good that they scale into late game by keeping their enemies down (what I feel Pantheon can be like at some times), but Lee isn't like that IMO.

League is consistently the only game that strips away my faith in humanity's intelligence.

For a game that requires a lot of planning ahead and decision making, people sure do lack forethought.

And hindsight isn't even close to 20/20.

I've started playing with a friend recently, but I haven't won a single game with him. I want to keep playing with him, but his placements got him in bronze 4 and he wants to duo ranked with me. I don't know what do.

A good day on the Rift, today. The only losses where when I played Top Tiger. I don't trust anyone else jungling on my team now... >_>



That said, at least I'm consistently doing well with my Jungle Udyr.

I've been practicing Lee Sin a lot...well, at least I'm learning.

That last win my team was pretty pissed at me because I stole a few kills mid. We had a Yasuo mid--the first kill I got was a legit kill secure, where I wasn't sure if he would get the kill so I ward hopped into a Q. The second time was when I cleaned up during a countergank--I passed by mid on my way to blue before it happened and he was extended pretty far so I figured there was no kill. After I did blue, I looked mid and saw that Shaco ganked so I went in to counter--Yasuo died, I cleaned up Nidalee.

Yasuo got really pissed after that second one. I think he was in a premade with our bot lane, since they all started trolling me pretty hard after that. I literally gave Yasuo a kill a few minutes later when I kicked Nidalee backwards, but he just walked away and let the tower kill me before actually going in, just to deny me the assist. Bot lane didn't listen to my dragon calls, none of them listened to my baron calls...it was all just a mess.

The bright side is, I snowballed top early by baiting Shaco into a kill, I snowballed mid by killing Nidalee twice and giving Yasuo free gold, and I peeled pretty hard when our Cait got caught a lot.

Most toxic group I've seen in a while, but whatever, I won. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yesterday was awesome. I got a deathless match as draven, won a ranked match with jinx, and managed to convince someone in a match the awesomeness that is nami.
very good.

[Mandalay]

I just played a Dominion where our Nasus was afk for the first 2 minutes and came back to politely explain "sorry, my kids needed something."

Friendly Karma rages up an absolute pomegranatestorm saying "wtp report, don't play league if you have kids to tend to."
Friendly Karma then turned it into an atomic bomb drop in post-game chat: "pineapple ur kids"

My faith in humanity plummeted.

Carrying from support is somewhat satisfying

Rumble spam fest is still continuing and will continue to do so until Spring Break. :(

I've never had a game where I do something as the support and don't get like a "gj nami" or some such. I mean, that same game I saved the kass mid laner from a 2v1 and stole both of those kills.
I just wish people would learn to pay attention to the minimap more. I swear.

Currently Gold 3, slowly trying to reach Gold 2.
