Thanks for the help guys. My jungler was a Braum so he only ganked my lane like once :v:

What happened to Riot saying that were putting in some sort of measure to end games if someone doesn't connect at the beginning. What the rear end.

I actually think Garen is super overrated, but maybe suck players always pick him because they expect an easy win.

My experience in bot lane "support" Garen is him walking up and punching me in the face, so :shrug:

(Does jack poo poo the rest of the game, but hey.)

I'm having a lot of fun with nu warrior but I think this is the best way to build J4 jungle right now. Warrior just falls off too hard in the mid and lategame for soloqueue.

I don't think Riot ever said anything like this. They've used a lot of vague language about how they understand that it's frustrating when someone doesn't connect and how they're investigating possible solutions (for the last several years), but I'm pretty sure "let players agree to end a game early" has never been one of them.

People can already agree to end the game early, it's called waiting in fountain.

General piece of advice for people here: learn to alter your build orders to fit the situation. You have no idea how much people struggle with this. I went Veigar Top against a Heimer who thought he would be fighting a Darius, and the dude still started building armor against me. This is just one example of many I see in loving Diamond.

Gotta rush that hourglass as Heimer, man.

Don't get me started about mid immobile squishy mage players who rush Athene's against Talon or Zed...

So which site gives out info about the other team's runes and masteries? Last game I saw someone on my side commenting about the AP runes of an enemy Leblanc before even seeing her, and then I forgot about asking later

Darius should poo poo on Jayce pretty hard. If Jayce is in range to auto then Darius is in range to Q and that's not a good trade, and one misposition means death against Darius.

E: apparently it's a Jayce favored matchup according to champion.gg, so take this with a grain of salt.

Garen into Jinx in toplane is the definition of freelo. Any time Jinx tries to cs in minigun mode she should eat a full QE combo and using rockets means pushing lane. And jinx has 0 mobility. Garen has an amazingly good mid/late game and a kit that absolutely destroys melee and low mobility champs. Just don't play him into Darius, that matchup is absolutely brutal.

I just missed a single queue pop (that was bugged and didn't pop up) and got a 5 minute queue ban. I'm all in favor of going full Nazi on thosee who waste other people's time, but fix your piece of poo poo game first.

Riot will never fix the game, why do people even think they would at this point? We ignore spaghetti code and buy 1.5 million dollars of anime skins, they have their priorities straight.

Or download "League Summoner Information, it gives you a replay client and an overlay you can pop up in game with the same info as op.gg.

Huh?? It's all the rage now. It's a really strong item and I've seen people who don't traditionally scale on ad like Sejuani and Amumu pick it up. It's very powerful!

I tried it on Sej, got some very strange looks/chat comments for it, but it worked out. It does help speed up her even late game glacial speed clear

I'm well aware of this, which is why I have spent $0 on skins. The only thing I will give Merril/Beck any credit for is that back when they were looking for investors, like circa 2007 maybe, Beck was quoted in some business interview article saying we promise to give absolutely zero fucks about our customers and employees and only ever do what makes us the most money. That's exactly what Riot has always done, at least.
