1 month til season ends

"OKAY TIME TO GET PLAT"

2 hours of grinding later.

"GOLD 4 ARE YOU KIDDINNNGG"

[VerrKol]

I am so close and yet so far from Plat. I failed my 3rd promo attempt now. I was pretty hard countered 3/4 games. 2 were lost because we lost the 2v2 fight top lane at lvl2/3 and the jungler just never came top again so it snowballed out of control. I'm really just not playing my best in these series and I'm getting tired of ranked solo queue anyway. I just want to hit Plat so I can relax and ignore it without the time crunch pressure.

It really didn't help that I was 1st/2nd pick every single game so I had to blind pick my lane. I really need to get someone to duo with my for series cause it's just too stressful trying to do everything solo.

I quit League. Can't be bothered to finish up the points for the final ward. Maybe I'll come back next season and try for Plat.

But League just isn't fun to me anymore, even in premade 5.

got the final ward


Still bored of League though. Playing a lot less than I used to. :/

League is not a game that holds intrinsic entertainment value.

League is not a game that holds intrinsic entertainment value.

To be fair, it used to. I just gradually lost that spark for League like I once had so a break could rekindle everything.

I think that's pretty normal though.

I see RTS and MOBA games to generate entertainment value more from competitive game play and ladder climbing rather than actual intrinsic fun from the game itself. Summoner's Rift isn't a bad map. But it's the equivalent to Super Smash Bros. where Final Destination is used repetitively as the de facto map for a 'competitive' match. The amount of variety you get though when Riot isn't running a special feature is incredibly lacking. If they allowed URF, Doom Bots, Ascension and other game modes to stay then you would probably retain a larger user base. The problem is that Riot appears to not have the resources or the desire to branch in that direction.

If they kept all of these modes at the same time, queues would take way more time. Not worth.

Yeah, look at Dominion and the new TT and now even Team Builder. It's good they're only sticking to two week things. Only Aram was a success.

ARAM was a success because it had a large playerbase before the map was officially created. Team Builder actually has quite a few people who play it similar to ARAM. It's just there's so much emphasis on the main summoner's rift, there's no reason to play any of the other game modes most of the time. It's like playing a spinoff Pokemon game like Mystery dungeon or something, when you could just be playing the main Pokemon games.


EDIT: On an unrelated note, Azir is overpowered. I don't know why people don't see it. I'm telling you all, he will get nerfed after people figure out how insane he is lol. His damage potential is insane...

[Olsi]

I've only lost 1 game that wasnt a promo game. Also viktor is freelo

[VerrKol]

Finally knocked out my last ranked 5s win.

[HighOnMushrooms]

Anyone wanna trade gifts to get the Harrowing icon? :O

[Mandalay]

Smurfing. 9 more to go. Want this in Silver so I can smurf in non-support roles after placements.

[12:34:11 PM] Suzan: bronze elo gives me cancer
[12:34:14 PM] Suzan: have to tell my team what to do
[12:34:43 PM] X: but bronze is so easy u can win 1v5 let ur team do wat they want
[12:34:53 PM] Suzan: thats basically what i'm doing

Edit:

So far, I'm going against Silver II's. So maybe I'll place in Gold...

You seem like you're having so much fun.

[VerrKol]

Well I've given up on hitting Plat in solo queue and basically just do 3s and whatever else when my friends are around. It always seems like the climb gets a lot harder in the last few days of the season and I just can't carry these people.

[Mandalay]

:3 Hate to say it, but smurfing was actually pretty fun. I have been playing other games simultaneously, so that did it. :D

OT:
Went 8-2. Guess I'm not touching this account until 11/11.

There are so many smurfs in ranked (Silver especially) right now. It's ridiculous.

All of Azir's statistics are gradually going up over time. People are finding it out. Probably thanks to Bjergsen playing him a lot the past few days (which is probably due to Faker playing him often and videos being posted on reddit about it).

I also think support Azir is op. He gets damage+utility from a lot of support items... Plus he has plenty of utility himself. Can check bushes with Q/W, has kill potential with poking harass as well as minor knockup on E, R's utility is self explanatory, and he even has an escape for himself if he needs it, which can actually be really useful for a support.
