League of Legends (Old)

Scopey baby

Listen man

You don't improve by playing against inferior competition. You sink to their level.
You don't improve by playing against equal competition. You stagnate.
You improve by playing against superior competition. Treat this as a great learning opportunity. Expect to lose the game so there's no pressure. See what they're doing and figure out why. Record a game or two and watch it again. Pay attention to smaller details like positioning and stuff.

Don't worry, if your MMR is reaaaaaaaally too high it'll reset itself but until that happens try to take this golden opportunity to improve your play so that if it does reset you'll suddenly be smashing your competition.

OR just take a vacation from the game for a while!

There's some nuance there.

There's value in learning how to play when you are better. There's value in playing when your opponents is better, but you develop different qualities. It makes sense to try to be your teams leader when you are better at that, it makes sense to shut up and focus on your own game when you are in a game where people are better than you.

And team's leader is in the most general sense then. Not that you get the most kills or ping incessantly. But the guy that makes his teammates play better, notices their mistakes and does a little extra to make those issues disappear, who knows which champions are the ones that can carry the game with him, and allows them to help him.

I honestly don't play to get better. It's the reason I don't play ranked a whole lot. I think the game in general is cool and fun and I just wanna enjoy myself playing almost all champions in all roles. I'm okay with losing a few then winning again, because I play champs in crazy roles. But if I'm facing like a plat 5 Zed that's tryharding on kills, while I'm playing something random, it's just a bit meh for me. And I'll deal with that in my own way but having these games 10 times in a row is just demotivating.

That game that I finally won was against someone who is 6 divisions higher then me (I'm S2, he's G1) and I honestly don't mind that because I'm confident in my abilities to at least go even or not feed in these situations, and then improve from there. But it isn't really my goal to eventually be Diamond 1. So unlike some people, I actually do enjoy smashing a Bronze 5 if I'm facing one? I know it's lame but if I get to play like Galio top and manage to carry I still think it's as fun as going even against a G1/

I suppose I shouldn't complain, but what is this MMR? In a ranked game no less.

KaleiÐoscøpe · Post Post #38329 (ISO) » Fri Dec 19, 2014 8:25 am

At least you're on the right team.

How can that be ranked though?

I think you'd enjoy normal games with 3-4 friends far more than ranked in this case!

ROFL.

So I got an email saying one or more gifts I've recieved have been revoked because of issues with how the RP for said gift(s) were obtained.

Checked out my account, no more Yellow Jacket Shen.

Maestrust, you owe me a skin.

Maestro · Post Post #38332 (ISO) » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:07 pm

Yeah, yeah. Something they fucked up with my account - Klaz (not to mention me) got hit much harder than you, dude.
If you've really got a hard-on for a replacement I'll get around to it when I'm on and have money.

Glork · Post Post #38333 (ISO) » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:10 pm

Oh I'm kidding lol. Idrc

Glork · Post Post #38334 (ISO) » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:10 pm

Also did Klaz get hit for being boosted? Because tbh that'd be maximum lol.

No, klaz got hit the same way you got hit. He's missing a bunch of skins that Maestro gave him.

Awesome game - that was our second one with 2 guys who we met randomly in Team Builder. Never met more team-oriented, non-flamey people. They also fit perfectly into our "main" teamcomp. Both are support "mains" like me who play the roles we don't have as much practice in. We have a Ranked Team with them an Ani now.

For the record that was my third game on rek'sai. I love that champ. jungling with rek just makes so much damn sense, like nothing else

I love Galio. I love Poro King. I'm so glad he's crazy OP in that game.

Seriously, Galio being so viable makes me super happy right now. I can play him all the time and be glad about it

Alistar is broken in the poro king mode. The pre-creep phase is amazing for Alistar

it's the Refer a Friend shit you can like go on a site and buy referrals where they bot level accounts to whatever the minimum level is and charge you money but you get all the RP you earn from it
