I hope you honored them

[Lucid:]

I honored every single one of them. I usually honor everyone on both teams when there's an unfair matchup due to disconnects from the start, unless somebody rages, whines, or is a total jerk.

[Law]

I whine when it's 5v5 in ranked. Jungler goes and gets 2 kills, and then he afks saying sorry my parents are making me clean. At the end of the match he returns, and all I say is fuck you. He replies with....Mad? UFKC FUCKCUFK CUFKFUCJwefwefwefwefef FUCK YOU

[hyjin]

wow what a jerk

[Lucid:]

I finally made it to bronze 4 today! My second promotion game was a little stressful though. We had two people fighting over mid and they both picked mid. My client disconnected right before my turn and randomed me to Kog - luckily ADC was the only role nobody else wanted (besides support) so it was a good pick. It reconnected right after it randomed me, lol. I promised our Lux that if she came bot instead of mid, I would share farm and kills with her. She went super aggressive support and didn't take much farm so it was totally cool. We got really fed bottom and I narrowly escaped death like 3 times. Our team pulled through in the end and won! I was honestly surprised because I thought the game was lost before it even started.

Congrats Lucid!

I'll be trying for Bronze IV this weekend, I'm actually 13th place in my League right now, up from like 46th, and I'm only getting better. I got Nidalee now, so top lane won't be such a hassle anymore, and I'm getting better at Blitzcrank, and my mid game is back on track.

[Alpha]

Sounds like y'all are having fun in ranked....can't wait til I'm able to.

[Hermes]

Haha it can be fun when you win, yes, but I'm telling you now most losses are because of the makeup of League of Legends.

Between levels 1-10 (Smurfs not included in these lists, btw):
74% non-communicative feeders
21% People who think they're the best League player in history
4.5% People who think losing a game is fun
.4% People actually trying to get better and failing due to sheer impatience
.04% People not trying yet getting better
.009% People trying and getting better
.05% AFKers
.0008% Other
.0001% You

Levels 11-15
90% Assholes with no kill who think they're the best League player ever
8% Non-communicative feeders
2% People who act different on a day to day basis

Levels 16-20 are a blur of the last two categories

Levels 21-29
72% trolls
8% Ragers with a superiority complex
10% Trolls with a superiority complex masking what is actually an INFERIORITY complex
7% People actually trying and communicating
2% people slowly giving up on this stupid game
.9% Non-communicaters, usually feeders and usually turn into ragers
.1% People who act like 5 year olds yet still win somehow

And then level 30 looks like this in non-ranked

88% Assholes who almost never communicate with a HUGE superiority complex and a giant ego
7% trolls
1% Non-communicating feeders who have coasted through on sheer number of games played
1.2% People actually worth playing with. they communicate, work with the team, and are genuinely friendly people.
3% Terrible players who don't know what a team comp looks like and think support and jungle are unnecessary roles
.7% Average players
.1% people just there for rank practice

Ranked looks like this
95% Assholes with a god complex who will only play one lane and one champion and if you don't let them have it they troll the game, intentionally feed, and like to do the whole "I PICK FIRST SO SCREW YOU CAUSE I'M DA BEST" only with worse grammar. These people also learned English by being dropped on their heads repeatedly in a library full of misprinted books about spelling things wrong.
4% Pure trolls
.3% Good players
.3% Fantastic players
.2% Bad players that are friendly yes, but should not be in ranked
.1% Nice people who will fill and are actually communicative and useful
.09% Non-communicating feeders
.01% Average human beings not hellbent on being a waste of air

[Alpha]

Sounds about right....*shrugs* I just try and communicate, but more often than not I end up with a player that either rages because I pick a champion they want, who waits until after I lock in after a good 30 seconds of sitting there if they can have it, and proceeds to either: A) quit, or B) bitch the entirety of the game. Besides that, it's a mixed bag. I'm learning some bits, and trying to pick up jungling some...at least the basics of it.

[Hermes]

I'd be happy to offer you any assistance you need, and even play with ya some to help in games. What level are you? I have a level 10 smurf

[Alpha]

Right now? I believe level 15-16. Been a few days and I've been busy. I play with hyjin sometimes and another friend who lives around me. Mostly I just play to save up IP for the champs that I'm wanting.....which happen to cost (at least for most of them) 6300. I've gotten one of em so far, but that's because I splurged a bit and bought several of the lower cost ones.

[Hermes]

Meh, it's actually best to just pick between 2-4 champs you like and only play those for the most part. The best players out there only play a few different champs regularly (Mind you I don't even take my own damn advice on this because yay shinies)

[Alpha]

So far my main core (that I have) is Hecarim, Ashe, Sivir, Garen, and Yi. I'd like to get it eventually to be: Hecarim, Volibear, Varus, Quinn, and Malzahar.

[hyjin]

so today im gonna empty out my wallet... im gonna finally finish building my pc... and im gonna liquid cool the cpu... screw fans...

[Law]

About the advice you gave that you should only play a handful of champs. I'd have to disagree. You should try to main a lane, and play a handful of champs dedicated to that specific spot then other champs for the other lanes you play less often. Also about the I only wanna play this lane in ranked. Honestly it's the best way to go. You are more likely to have a winning match if you play one lane, and only one lane in ranked matches. I've won 90% of my jungler games in ranked, and most of my ADC/Support games. The top and mid though have my most losses because I don't generally do them. It's all about what you're comfortable enough to carry in.

[Lucid:]

I like your list Hermes. According to that, I am part of these groups.
Non-ranked: .1% people just there for rank practice OR if playing with friends, 7% trolls, but that's mostly in a good/friendly way like "We should play an all assassin team!" or "Let's go all mid!"
Ranked: .2% Bad players that are friendly yes, but should not be in ranked and .1% Nice people who will fill and are actually communicative and useful (I don't believe these two groups are mutually exclusive.)

When I was around level 15 or so, Lulu came out and I decided I needed to play her. I would duo with my roommate at the time who mostly played AD Carry. I had a blast playing as support and bought even more support characters and eventually came to "main" support. I'm definitely a lot better at squishy mage/utility supports than I am with tank supports, but that's okay because nobody complains if someone is willing to play support, ward, and not take their creeps. It sounds like you really like jungling so I would suggest doing something similar. Buy as many junglers as you think are interesting and focus on learning that role inside and out. Watch pro matches to see how the pro junglers play and see what the strengths and weaknesses of each champ are. Everyone loves somebody who knows how to jungle well, and if you're good enough at it, you can win games by winning every lane for your team.
(TLDR; What Law said.)

In ranked, if you main top/mid you need to know how to play other roles well, but if you main jungle/support you can almost always have it. I have played top probably twice ever because people almost always call top/mid, and my husband plays top in our team of friends so I have put almost no effort into learning top. I can handle it if I need to, having a few bruisers that I play in 3v3, but I don't know the matchups well and I tend to play too passive. I have never lost as Zyra mid in ranked, but I've only had 4 games with her as mid. I play her support enough to keep my skills up. I only know how to jungle Shyvanna and, as of this last week, Cho'gath, but I rarely need to jungle either.
