3-5. Aiming to be at least not bronze 5, will likely end up mid bronze anyways

My support J4 don't need no stinking sightstone. I got all the stones beneath my armor.
That golden ball + Righteous Glory is the shit doe. I'd probably build that combo on every support.

9th placement coming right now, 3-5 overall so far. Playing MF because I'm on red side and I don't trust my red side Varus right now.

you pick your champs by side?

(I find certain abilities easier or harder to hit depending on camera angle (red v. blue), with Varus Q being much easier on the blue side. This is true regardless of whether I use locked camera, fully unlocked, or hold space, and is probably just a player flaw.) One example of a red-side skillshot for me is Lucian Q, which I actually find much more effective at aiming through minions onto champs on the red side.

It plays a factor for me. I really like my blue side morgana, and i prefer rek'sai when im on red side

I agree with that. I currently hate playing Draven on red side just because the hud will never disappear, and there's always a chance of an enemy being right underneath it. I've had the hud fully minimized for a good two years now.
If a champ doesn't micromanage much, I play them either side, but on red I would rather focus on enemies, the map and cs.
Side bias is real and exists; matchmaking puts a slight higher ELO on purple to balance it out (and at least last I checked Blue is still a little favored despite this.) It's not a huge leap that you have champs you're comfortable skillshotting on blue (shooting away from the UI) but not purple (shooting in to the UI).

I didn't say it wasn't real, I absolutely think it exists. I just wouldn't know where to begin in how to pick to account for it.

I got absolutely destroyed in a Lissandra game (5-12-10)
Queue up for another, one of my teammates from that game recognizes me and starts begging everyone to dodge because im a fucking noob/shit/feeder.
I grab talon and proceed to go 19-1-8.
Most satisfying feeling ever.

For me it's mostly based on experience - I know that I play certain champs better on one side or the other from having played them.

As for the game itself, we lost hard. Had a tiny bit of lag early which interfered with my CS, but my mechanics and decision making were shitty even after it cleared up, so it wasn't the lag that caused me to lose. All lanes lost and we got stomped, gg, ff at 20.
Gonna go play some basketball with friends, which should get me off tilt if I'm on one. Will likely play 10th placement tomorrow if not tonight.
I played Graves for the first time in awhile earlier this week. My funniest moment was getting lvl 6 first and blasting my opponent Tristana with an unsuspecting ult. Fun times.

Bronze two where I belong.
I can't do this new jungle for shit, and our last pick trolled by taking trist top instead of akali at the last second.

Starting my 10th now, ADCing as Varus with a Teemo supp (o_O) into Cait/Malph.

Ended up being malph mid, lux support for the other team. Died a couple times to ganks and wasn't playing well, like 1/4/3 or so, but our Rengar jungle was carrying us. Then our top Renekton dc's. In the midgame we're playing a 4v5 but we have 4 drags to 0 and more kills, so we have a chance, and I've gotten to like 8/9/6, so I'm a legitimate threat, but we had a couple shit fights, partially due to being 4v5 and partially due to our sequentially running into the enemy team and dying. We lose, I'm 3-7 and Bronze V to start from.
Can't complain, I played pretty badly overall in my placements and probably deserve to have gone down several divisions due to them. I hope I'll be able to climb to where I was last season if not higher before too long, but yeah.

You are a better man than I am. Those games aren't worth it to me.

In case in was wondering, dynasty warriors is great.
