if you belong at that elo, you should come back just as quickly?

[MrZepher]

I think I'm only gonna play dominion with Premade Mafia teams.

These randoms fucking suck. No idea what to do ever.

Minions in lanes? MUST MEAN WE DON'T NEED TO PUSH LANES DERP.

Not necessarily. I'll probably have to play a zillion games to recover. Elo gain is slow and tedious, especially around the 1300-1400 entry curve.

Duo-queuing usually ends up with both of you being at the same ELO as the lowest person.

[pickemgenius]

The only ad carry id ever start with dring in lane is yi, because his shit costs like a billion mana(and his ap scaling is really high, you're going to win fights in lane tho).

It's people like you that are making Dominion really bad right now. Instead of getting angry and pissy at your teammates, why not try calling things? "Hey guys, one person push bot while we hold the windmill" has a lot better impact than "omg noobs, cap bot. You all fucking suck". This is a BRAND NEW GAME MODE for most people, it's not reasonable to assume everyone knows exactly what to do all the time.

[xRECKONERx]

FYI, I try the "Hey, someone defend bot please" method and NOBODY does it. Everyone just runs all over the map like a bunch of goddamned chickens with their heads cut off.

[Amrun]

I'm terrible at dominion (well, only played twice).

I WISH people would call shit out, for real.

May I ask, what does this statement add to the conversation? It's half arsed, since you have to use "usually", it's probably not even true, it isn't a reaction on the post you quoted and all in all, it seems like it was made to make you look clever. And for that you need a much better one-liner.

I've never with intention started calling people noobs... well at least not in dominion. (and I'm usually kidding or being blatantly silly with it outside of dominion)
I try to tell them how to be effective but they're all DERP NOPE. THIS IS THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. and the way they choose to go about it get them killed, and me defending 2 points as AP ezreal.
I'm fine with people not understanding how to do it yet, but when you just straight up do things that make no sense I start to get a little irked.
Especially when it happens 3 games in a row.

Trust me I'm trying to be helpful and not rage and start being part of the problem, and the only reason I chose to word it that way was because I figured you guys would understand where I'm coming from.

I had a Kog'maw that instead of taking the middle right turret while their entire team was busy fighting me as Nasus decided to farm the lane between the bottom turrets, even after I told him that it would be smarter since they're across the map. I died and lost the turret, but in the time it took them to kill me we could have made up for another turret. Our Akali would just sit in bushes and not do anything and then die trying to gank 3v1 against a tank and both their carries, and just things like that. Little things that people do that can change games, and avoid dire situations.
I don't care if people are bad. It happens, they'll get better, but when you accept that you're not playing well and choose not to learn from your mistakes or get better, even after somebody has spelled it out for you, I'm not okay with that, and I go into kind of rage mode.

[Ankamius]

Am i the only one who starts my AD cait build with Doran's ring? If midding, i just love the mana regen, much more harrass with the skill shots and by the time i've got vamperic scepter that's me never having to leave my lane.

I don't have any sort of mana regen anything on my Caitlyn and I never run out of mana.

Then again, I also generally time everything I do precisely so it's not exactly the best example. ._.?

Also you have no reason to ever run oom as Caitlyn. I mean if you reaaaaaaaaly want to harass just wait for headshot and use it on them. Q sporadically.

[xRECKONERx]

Should I be building anything different as duo lane Cait as opposed to solo mid Cait?

[Ankamius]

Not particularly. You play mostly the same with the exception that you have a partner that will make your spells much more effective.

You were in a dream I had last night.

[Espeonage]

Duo queued with a friend and lost 250 elo.

NEVER GIVE IN TO PEER PRESSURE

You broke the golden rule of Ranked so it's your own fault.

If you ever lose twice in the same session of ranked you don't play ranked again until the next day. If you lose twice, your composure, whether you realise it or not goes down to such a degree that your chance to lose goes up considerably.

also my laptop has full carked it. Tempted to try DLing it onto my tiny backup laptop. Be somewhat harder to play it on a small screen but it should be good enough to still have fun. Oh and the screen is horribly cracked. Can't see about 50% of the top left hand corner 5x5 square. But no biggie. Just cant see exact health bars.

[Nightson]

Dominion is fun

[Espeonage]

There is both good news and bad news. The good news is that I can play LoL on this laptop. The bad news is that my peak FPS is 11.

However that didn't stop me being a part of half the team's kills and not dying. tbf it was a bot game but I was still wrecking shit. Can't farm at all though.

[Amrun]

Why not?

[Knight of Cydonia]

I'm going to actually (shock horror) make an effort at Ranked this season, so if anyone wants a duo-queue partner, I'd probably be up for it.

[xRECKONERx]

this is how every game with Caitlyn has gone so far

I AM IN LOVE LOVE LOVE

Read somewhere that you can see what server you are connecting to in the netlog files. My question, if this is accurate, why am I connecting to germany for a NA game? and then back to California?

No wonder my latency spikes.

Hop 9 is Canada, then 10 - 12 is germany, then 13 and 14 is Cali.

Some messed up routing here.

EDIT - lol and Hop 9 is Canada, but in Manitoba. California is SW from me, my trace is going NW then all east to Germany then SW to california...

WTF

[tanstalas]

Using VPN.

So Shaw is messed up sending me to Germany, guess I can only email them and ask them whats up...

Was it hot?

[Espeonage]

Totally. You were one of those faceless people who only has a voice though. You did set up the wining goal though. (We were on a soccer team together. It was somewhat weird.)
