I edited the post, but I'll repeat here in case you don't catch it. Losing in 20 is preferable to winning in 50. Those slogfest 50 minute games are fucking awful, regardless of who wins. Because at least you have a chance to catch a 30 minute fun game on the back end of the 50 if you lost the first one in 20 minutes.

The only time league is any fun at all is when you're way ahead. Otherwise it's kinda average. And losing in league is pretty fucking awful. It's like getting kicked in the dick every 30 seconds for 30 minutes straight.

High KDA ratio on particular champions or in a particular role while the rest are low(normally coincides with a sudden change to that role), flipped summoner spells(flash on the opposite key), frequency of play can occasionally be a tip off. And as Hiplop said, normally it's just the obviousness of a guy who's skills are fair better than they should be. For a sports analogy, it'd be like Danilo Gallinari suddenly becoming imbued with the skill set of LeBron James.


Pedit 2: That never happens. Nobody pays for a boost to a higher rank only to bomb the account back to the lower rank. That's a ridiculous argument.

I think you're underestimating how bad Danilo Galinari is or underestimating how good LeBron James is.

You're a masochist and I can't help you. I wish the game would just end at 30-35 minutes and give the win to the team with the most towers like a fighting game when you're taking too long just ends the round and has whoever has the most HP wins.

Pedit: Gordon Hayward is the best league player in the NBA(or in professional sports if you ask him), and he's like...not very good. But hey, he probably makes more money and is more famous than every league player in the world.. so who cares if he's silver 3.

I don't want every game to be fifty minutes, but I think it makes it enjoyable to have some long hard fought outliers

DWLee I do have to ask because I Played with you a month ago and you were dicking around with LB and maybe trying to learn one other champion or so

but I checked this week and you were suddenly Gold I with lvl 5 on a bunch of ADCs so


With the recent talk of account boosting I'm just asking you to come clean out of curiosity, no judgements

I wanted to see how silly Iceborn + Sunfire was on random champions. Sheen is pretty strong on Sona so I thought it'd be worth a shot to try it on her.

Build order was Iceborn - Sunfire - Banner - Zzrot. Banner and Zzrot were mostly for fun as I was pretty massive after lane phase.

The build worked pretty well honestly, but it's hard to tell how well it would work in a real game. I was able to stomp lane and 1v3 with it pretty easily, but a lot of it came down to me being a lot better then the enemy team so I'm not sure what to make of it. It's actually pretty fun though, although I'm guessing that it doesn't stand up too well to proper jungle pressure in lane.
