Explain / Confirm: you played enough to reach level 30 and amass the IP to buy 16 champions you don't know how to play, and you will be playing on this account exclusively in Ranked YoloQ, while you are or intend to soon be under the influence of alcohol? Stream please.

bought a "clean" level 30 account for $20 (seems like whoever did it found twisted treeline to be the quickest way to get to 30?). Had some IP on it, but had to get a little more to get a full rune page and all 16.

Maybe I'll stream tomorrow? Ranked seems to be down. I played one game where one guy on my side and two on the other were disconnected 80% of the time. Easiest ranked win ever!

$20 for a lv 30? Good gravy how can people value their time so low? I'd have way paid more than that to not have to do the worst, most miserable grind in any game I've ever played. Playing ranked on your smurf is fun until it hits or beats the same rank as your main and then you just feel sad and dumb. Or I do, anyway.

There's automated tools to play nothing but vs AI games and feedbot or soraka bot to get the account to 30. Check the match history etc etc

Might be that they just enjoy playing the game, but I still think you could get a bit more than $20. I'd guess $35 would be that sweet spot where you can still make a fair amount of sales.

Selling accounts / referrals isn't pirating? It's offering time spent doing free stuff in a free game to somebody else for money when they don't wanna have to do that free stuff because they balance the lack of time used against $$$.

I mean it's almost certainly against their terms of service, but I'm not particularly bothered about that.

On a more basic note, I wouldn't advise buying a level 30 account to begin with or anything, but there's little to be gained by grinding out a second account.

This, the amount of bots you will run into smurfing (level 1-20) is kinda annoying (they range from the ARAM bots to the completely blatant soraka bot).

As someone that has done the grind to 30 four times, it's only fun if you're not actually doing the grind. It's fun if you're playing with friends and chillaxing

Just curious I guess, I never saw a single bot leveling my smurf, but I play SR exclusively and did lv 1-16 about 2 or 3 years ago, and then 16-30 around midseason this year. It was brutal, I should have been a bot while I was at work. Most unenjoyable game experience of any game is leveling a 2nd account on lol.

Does anyone build Lucidity on Lucian? Was just wondering if that might be a better choice than Zerk's on him.

lots of builds favor lucidity. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Berserker's Greaves' Attack speed helps with Lucian's passive.

Lucian scaled very well with CDR pre-4.12. Now that's his best scaler. Attack Speed means more culling shots per ult, but CDR means MORE ULTS!


Because who hasn't seen a culling annihlate a minion wave (or someone's healthbar) yet. BTW Zor, you are correct. The passive shot is set to a static 0.2 seconds after the first shot, if I'm correct.

fwiw of the acknowledged divisions (which I will assume will skew us to look more accomplished than we are as Bronze are less likely to input their Bronze ranking):

Image

The image should adjust as people add their ranking, but it might take reloading the page.

Also added one more link that shows a chart only of people who have entered in their division (including unranked, don't worry). This is to provide both an exhuastive list and a more "currently active" list as I think the original list I pulled from has a lot of inactive players.

Not quite right, but only in the most technical sense- the higher Lucian's attack speed, the lower the delay between the first and second shots. Which will very rarely be relevant, but when it is, you're thankful for it.
