I did it. I finally officially stroked out last night and started full on ranting at people in chat. The nominal trigger? Playing jungle, going bot specifically to hold lane (which was pushed up to tower) to allow a 5% health Draven to back. Pinging back, over and over. Having him sit around for 30 seconds to "get some XP." Having him walk too far forward, and get blasted with a Sona chord. Having him then claim it was "worth for the XP." The real trigger? I hate everyone who loving plays this game. (Except for all of you, you are all cool.) This is my confession of guilt. I need absolution.

Having him sit around for 30 seconds to "get some XP." Having him walk too far forward, and get blasted with a Sona chord. Having him then claim it was "worth for the XP." Sometimes it is so hard to keep your calm. I wish I'd saved some screencaps from the other day, when a Tahm Kench kept spamming pre-game chat with "hey jinx im ur pet and ur my master", then, every time I went in to trade, rather than help by poking the enemy to keep them in range of my wide array of weaponry, he would eat me ad run back to tower. When I realized this and tried to just farm safely, he kept trying to poke by grabbing minions with Devour and spitting them at people as I was last-hitting them. This, of course, left him with no mana to actually use Devour to save me when I actually needed saving. No amount of "stop eating me when I'm at full health" or "poke with Q, not with W" seemed to penetrate his skull, and he seemed upset and confused at why he got reported for intentionally aiding the enemy team. What I'm saying is your absolution is in the fact that some players are so bad that they are indistinguishable from trolls. Once you accept this, you can just enjoy the clown fiesta as it unfolds. Once I accepted that I was paired with someone who, whether through malice or inbreeding, was going to do more to poo poo on my laning phase than the Kindred-Soraka combo I was laning against, it just became a comedy I could enjoy. (Plus, a fed as gently caress Darius saved the early, and helped me snowball back up during midgame through teamfights, so we won that motherfucker.)

I appreciate this. It's not so much that I get mad at video games. For example, I lost two soldiers in XCom 2 last night, and while I was swept with a wave of infinite sadness at their sacrifice for humanity, I was not mad at the video game. I really am only mad at other people who play video games with me. The clear solution to this is to stop playing video games with other people, but I have a difficult time making myself do this. I am, however, getting closer. Hermetic posted:What I'm saying is your absolution is in the fact that some players are so bad that they are indistinguishable from trolls.

I had a friend playing garen top the other day while we were in voice chat. He was getting dumpstered by a Darius, and had no idea how to stop it. At one point he had half health and I told him to go back asap because if he leaves his turret Darius will Q him, then hecarim will dive him with ult for the easy kill. 30 seconds later that exact scenario played out and he died...again. It doesn't matter who you play with people are dumb, don't listen, and are frustrating. The key is you just need to get good enough to take advantage of when the enemy team has that idiot on it.

You were miles ahead of everyone' else in terms of cs this game.

Having him sit around for 30 seconds to "get some XP." Having him walk too far forward, and get blasted with a Sona chord. Having him then claim it was "worth for the XP." Solo queue jungle is the easiest way to have a stroke playing League of Legends. Even if you carry 9/10 games you are going to have that one game where all three lanes lose loving brutally and spend the whole game passive aggressively blaming you for their lane opponent being god like at 11 minutes. I'm probably one of the most calm/carefree players of this game that I know and I think the only time I've ever melted down playing League was like a Vi jungle game in ranked about two years ago where something exactly like that happened and I got like 15 consecutive negative messages from my teammates despite having the only even neutral score on my team and I just then sat at the tier 2 tower yelling for them to stop and just power fisted into the enemy team to end it all. Solo queue jungling will at some point break you down as well. You just have to be strong enough to recover when your 0/7/0 LeBlanc lets you know that you need to loving camp mid.

jungling is depressing because whenever i get off to a good early start it seems like my team tries aggressively to throw the lead away. i think because when you get off to a good start you can easily get kills in every lane and people assume that they're really far ahead when its actually just me getting far ahead.

Alright, how do you deal against a tanky champ rushing Sunfire when you're a melee character in top lane? Feels like you can't trade at all between the armor and the AoE dps, and it ends up in me having to lasthit under tower while the other guy is free to roam. I'm playing Trundle if it changes anything.

I'm playing Trundle if it changes anything. It changes a lot actually. Trundle is a tank buster and probably the ideal fighter pick against a top lane tank pick. Just use your ultimate to stat-steal the tanky guy as soon as you have a gank and beat him down.

Have they ever said anything about making Trundles ult look more impactful? Even when I'm playing him there are times I feel like I barely notice it being used and whenever I'm playing against him it's hard as hell to notice it going off in a teamfight. I'm not expecting a neon glow or anything but it just kinda blends too much.

To prevent them from crashing waves into your tower you can either match their sunfire, buy a ZZrot, or buy a tiamat. All of those items are OK on Trundle, but personally I'd get a tiamat and sit on it as it lets you counter the strategy with the least gold investment. Keep in mind that on Trundle trades that initially look like you lost tend to swing around to a significant advantage as long as you disengage in time, because of Trundle's passive.

I have been theorizing whether or not taking AS reds and quints on Karma for toplane would be good. Part of what makes her so strong is constant auto attack harass and resetting Mantra but her base AS is atrocious and makes last hitting almost impossible. After accidentally taking an AS rune page on her she felt much more effective in bullying than with bread and butter MPenMethanar posted:This actually solves a lot of problems.
