FUCK THIS SHIT

Do graves autoattacks count as single target for purposes of deaths dance?

I played against a top graves the other day who rushed it first item. He went 2-0 or so against our top Kayle, but about 20 minutes into the game with just a DD and maybe a dirk he was able to 1v3 rumble jungle, Kayle, and support nautilus. He was probably getting 1/6 of his HP back every auto and the damage reduction passive pretty much negated my flamespitter damage entirely. It was disgusting

whoever designed Graves' rework needs to be launched into the sun for giving him what amounts to 120 armor/MR in mid-lategame teamfights with rank 5 E.

So I've decided that playing support in bronze is just masochistic. Jungle/top I have a positive winrate, but support my WR is about 20%. Hell, maybe I should start playing ADC again as well.
i haven't played all season, tried to escape from bronze. Lost lane at level 1 because my ADC leashed too hard and missed literally an entire wave and I got poked out and dove under tower at level 2. It's brutal.

Yeah it's hilarious. It's occasionally frustrating if you actually want your team to do something that makes sense, but if you can accept that they won't, then it's great.

e: Actually there's literally only one thing that bothers me about bronze, and it's the fact that no one buys pink wards. I often keep yellow trinket in bronze games just for the extra wards. Even the supports don't buy pink wards. I can't tell you how many games I've played where I'm literally the only person who buys a pink ward. And I mostly play mid lane.

After you guys screamed their virtues at me for almost a whole page I now purchase between 2-5 on average. I even buy 1-2 when I top or mid. Hell, in some games I keep one on me constantly. Those games are any game with Twitch, Shaco, Akali or any other sneaky gently caress.

this can happen in any game in literally any ranking, the difference is that every bronze game is winnable because the winners never close out the games until 50 minutes.

like, I am in platinum IV at the moment and I have games where our team collectively goes 2 vs. 12 in 20 minutes or whatever and sometimes it just happens, even in challenger.

Even if you're in Bronze I'm pretty sure you aren't as terrible as my old college roommates. They thought they were super awesome at the game and were so excited about ranked. Then they both finished their preliminaries and got placed in Bronze V and have never managed to climb out since.

They always bitched about the system being wrong and unfair and it's not their fault they got stuck in the pits of hell. Meanwhile I was sitting in Bronze I when I don't even play League very often and definitely not super seriously for ranked. If I close my eyes I can still hear them screaming about Nidalee being an OP piece of poo poo. Good times.

The greatest impedance to climbing the ranked ladder that I have noticed is a startling lack of self-awareness to realize that you do, in fact, have to improve your skills at the game to continue climbing.

That and the time to sink into the game so as not to be garbage.

By watching videos and streams of people better than you playing the characters you want to play and learning why they do the things they do when they do it

i'm mostly salty because this happened about 6-7 times tonight, in a row

i def played like poo poo in a few games (mostly responding to/creating pressure) and i learned that gnar will wreck your rear end if you don't back off as soon as his bar is like 90% and then you feed him 2 kills and he starts wrecking you as mini-gnar, so it wasn't a complete waste of time

Honestly this is the one thing that's super wrong. It's very easy not to feed in bronze regardless of what's going on. Like even if you support is 0/10/0 by like the 22-23 min mark, you should still be positive as ADC, in fact the lane is usually easier when you support is not around at that point.

yeah I've been playing him lately after not touching him since release week, and I am really enjoying him. His wave clear is great and oppressive in the early game, and his late game is stupid strong.

I'm generally terrible at ADC but I've been doing really well with Jhin. Skills aside, he's just really fun to play! The only thing I don't like about him is that his traps are so easy to avoid I think I've only damaged someone with them once.

I played a few Graves games in ND to get the feel for him, then took him into ranked and went 17-1. He's pretty drat strong still.
