If you main a banlist champion, dodging on 3 LP until you can play it is probably good enough to improve your ranking on its own, especially for the learn-one-champ-master-it-get-out-of-bronze situation zoraster was talking about. Since Annie has been my main since before ranked existed and she is currently considered a banlist champ, I probably should start doing that, actually.

Scumbag zoraster, moderates a forum dedicated to forum mafia, doesn't believe in me that I can draw conclusions about internet strangers using limited information at a rate much better than random guessing.

[zoraster]

First, I'm not sure many MS members can do better than random guessing in Mafia.

Second, there are certainly times you know it's a good idea to get the hell out of there in ranked play. The "mid or feed" instalocking last pick teemo. Or the guy who literally told us he had fed the last 8 games, I checked op.gg and he had gone 0/30/0 in his last game. These aren't hard choices. Dodge. The harder thing is determining primarily based on team composition who has the edge.

Kind of depends on the champ and how many games you want to play in a day. Annie is a kind of common ban (10%), but she's not Skarner or something, who is banned in 64% of matches, so dodging the ban is probably fine. But if you want to play Skarner and want to play 15 games in a day, that 10LP dodge is going to get painful fast.

I'M NOT SURE... THAT WE ARE FRIENDS RIGHT NOW.

[Psyche]

and want to play 15 games in a day,

oh so it is not actually shameful to do this?

[Venmar]

I have been playing Jungle a lot as of recently, I have found that I have a certain affection for the role <3. Been maining Gragas and Skarner to good success in the last few games.

However, Skarner is usually banned every single game or is first picked if I can't do it myself, so my jungle pool is made up of basically just Gragas. What are some other good Junglers right now? I don't have Ekko or Rek'Sai, so i'm wondering what are other good picks, people at my ELO mainly play weird shit so idk.

[Voidedmafia]

Vi, Nidalee, Elise, Eve, Volibear, Nocturne.

*shrug*

[Venmar]

I'm probably going to buy Rek'Sai and/or Ekko , though I used to play Eve and Volibear is a champ i'm interested in picking up, so thanks! (I used to main Kha'zix, Rengar, Nocturne, Hecarim in Jungle back in ~February, none of them are really top-tier anymore so thats why i asked for whats good now)

[tn5421]

I'm in a promotion series to go from bronze 3 to bronze 2, which is actually my first promotion series in a long time. Wish me luck. Loving the new low ping btw.

[FakeGod]

few ranked games later, I'm in promos for plat 3

my LP gains have considerably slowed though, I gain about 25 per win now

[Psyche]

thank god for a new patch

also

Spoiler:

[Venmar]

That right there is worth a minimum 20 bucks.

I'm going to be sad when I can no longer see Riven and Sona together on the login screen.

[Hanasawa]

I also have a guilty confession that I like that login music a lot more than I should.

[Psyche]

i have played it for hours at a time

[quadz08]

the login music is excellent

[Venmar]

Omg, since I have Login Music disabled, I did not hear it until just now. It truly is pretty fantastic.

[Voidedmafia]

I'm going to be sad when I can no longer see Riven and Sona together on the login screen.

I love Sona's look of intense concentration. Reminds me of me when I'm really into a game.

[Banakai]

The only thing that could make the arcade login screen better is if hecarim was actually visible

Also I got into silver now I can't win any games :/

[Venmar]

In

some

respects, I find Silver to be even worse than Bronze.

[theelkspeaks]

Maining a champ who's relatively underplayed but still playable is also an option for climbing ELO (currently me on ADC Varus for over a year). You almost always get your pick, and if you know how to play all the matchups, you just straight up win the game a decent amount of the time unless the other two lanes are way behind.

[Psyche]

i have to give up on teemo for now
there's just too many who dominate him these days

[zoraster]

i think you're better off heimer.

[Psyche]

singed seems to counter nearly all of the top top picks these days

Garen
Gangplank
Irelia
Wukong
Trynd
Riven
Yasuo

not fiora, noticeably
but i still haven't figured him out

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

So ends page 1776. Carry on lads. God bless America.
