League of Legends (Old)

[Ankamius]

I remember when I went into a SoloQ game when my internet went out for four hours about a minute before the game started, but it ended up starting anyway and I got a free leave.

The support team got to hear about that one.

The next champ doesn't like Vi very much: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/ ... mpions/vi/

The fact that Riot STILL doesn't have some prevention loss system for leavers is fucking insane.

I just lost a game solely because someone quit 5 minutes in then never came back. 18 LP down the drain.

[AngryPidgeon]

Eh, I mean hypothetically its nice but its something that could easily be abusable and Im sure there is more to it than is obvious.

This is so cool
An old friend maybe? From her criminal days?

Don't be a leaver and don't make your teammates want to leave. Benefit from 5/9 of leavers being on the other team.

Seems to me like it's working just fine.

I mean, nobody on our team raged or anything. Our mid just went "gtg" and disconnected five minutes in... and this happens more frequently than not. Even when it's honestly not their fault and they're having internet troubles, it isn't fair to penalize the other players for it. The game is a foregone conclusion, so making the other team wait 20 minutes is a waste... and it's unfair to the people who are still in the game, who aren't disconnecting.

The solution obviously isn't simple. Something where the game ends if a player is disconnected for more than a certain length of time, like Dota2, would be ideal. Penalize people on the losing team less, something akin to the loss you'd take for dodging out of a ranked queue, and give the winning team full benefits. Penalize the disconnected person the full amount of LP.

I read a rumor somewhere that the next champ is Vi's sister. I look to see if I can find where.

Internet issues that could not have been predicted and were not the person's fault.
Server issues that were not button-pressed in time.
Random ragers that just leave after dying once with literally no provocation from anyone else.

All of these currently affect everyone else on the person's team negatively in a way that has absolutely nothing to do with them.

IMO, the fairest way to go about this is to put a check on any person who does not deliver or take damage for at least five minutes

in a row

during 2:00-15:00, so that if they end up with a leave at the end of the game or are gone for more than half the total game time, everyone not grouped with them would have their losses cut down to 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4. It would still be somewhat abusable, but it would be harder than just nothing at all.

I'd go scaling maybe if you're supporting or something.

because it definitely makes the most sense to take something that scales with levels with a late cross-over on the most xp-starved things in the game whose second-most important duty is lane-dominance amirite

Except that bot lanes are going to be more AD heavy by and large and you can get away with running the MR/level runes because you need armor more than you need MR down there.

Like I said, Zyra is one of the few that I am concerned about.

thats not actually true, especially in the current meta of tri-force building ADs (corki especially) who do significant amounts of magic damage (which brandi also touched on)

in addition, popular supports include zyra (significant base magic damage), thresh (significant base on-hit magic damage), sona (significant base magic damage), fiddle (significant base magic damage); the only ones that tend towards significant phys damage in a kill situation are blitz (who still has a significant amount of front-loaded magic-based burst from 6 onwards), leona (who has a magic damage based-passive which adds significant amounts of damage to her combo in tandem with her AD), nami (who favors defensive lanes and has an on-hit magic damage steroid), and janna (who favors defensive lanes and can't initiate a fight against any bot lane that is fully awake)

other significant non-obvious bot lane sources of magic damage include trist's level 6 burst combo/explosive shot harass (her only real power until late-game) and varus' % dmg stacks (which are a huge trading tool)

retired

playing 2 ranked games on 10/2 and then done Gold V on AudioTsunami, Silver II on Smitefail. No interest, No fun, ranked 5s no fun.

[zoraster]

played with AP, got my ass handed to me, then had my ass (now in my hand) yelled at by a bunch of pissed off guys. can't even say i blame them.

[Brandi]

You should because you are still relatively new to this game and them expecting you to be great is dumb

[Nikanor]

brandi i take offense to the idea that 1% of the players control 99% of the Elo
i demand that you carry me or i will occupy your house 4ever

[Brandi]

maybe I want you to occupy my house

[Nikanor]

i will put nermal into perpetual heat do you really want that?

[Brandi]

No
It scares me that you have that ability D:

[Nikanor]

i'll do it
I'M NOT JOKIN AROUDN

[Brandi]

ok fine ill carry u
but i wont like it

[Ankamius]

Can someone who mains top lane tell me what the appeal is? I literally can only see it as a contest of who can be more annoying than their lane opponent.

Isn't this true for every lane?

I read a rumor somewhere that the next champ is Vi's sister. I look to see if I can find where.

Yeah, I did some digging and she's either Vi's sister or C (the criminal Caitlyn has been looking for), but it's obviously someone related to Vi
There are dozens of threads and this one might be the most informative:

Maybe if you like to play a bruiser but want more farm than you can get in the jungle.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I doubt someone called C would bother putting an X as a signature in their graffiti.

Toplane itself is not so cool. It's the moment you get on the map that's fun. You move, they'll run.

[BROseidon]

Ugh, speculation about the new champ that I can't actually talk about.

It's be really fun reading all the spec from the perspective of knowing what the new champ is.
