this means you will get either role1 or role2, and won't be assigned a role you didn't pick

Oh ok, good to know they still havent fixed the whole "if you put support as secondary you will literally always be support" bug

that isn't a bug. that's the playerbase not wanting to play support to the point where the system needs to manually intervene and force people into support roles. it has zero technical standing.

I was super bummed yesterday when I queued for ranked and didn't get support. Happens maybe 1/40 games

Queueing <not support> / <support> does give support a lot less than it used to - before the last tweak to primary / secondary roles, it was about 95% support, it feels closer to 60 now.

I wish there was some way to get rid of that message and just be guaranteed support every game. The rare occasions when I get my off role are just super lovely.

I queue with support as my primary role every ranked game, probably average about 5-10 games a week, and my last two non-support games in solo queue were on august 9th and may 10th according to my match history

His trajectory went something like informative guy -> gets frustrated that he only has 50% winrate once he's in challenger -> hangs out with Trick2G -> ragey rear end in a top hat -> meme's

I lost respect for him during one of those "unranked to challenger" streams during which people started pointing out the account hadn't been played for months, was played with a completely different champion pool, and with flash on the other key than he was currently using.

Rather than just admit he bought the account, he bullshitted for half an hour about how he'd just been trying a wholly different combination of champs / masteries / playstyle. You know, for funsies.

I think a lot of people underestimate the sustain that karma can have with mantra-W, no matter if you're going full AP or tank/utility. Whenever I played her mid I would always get Visage 2nd/3rd item just for that little bit more heal/tankyness. It also has the added bonus of making it easy to land your Q during the root.

That's really unfortunate. Is it like the common path of young late teens early 20s to transform into some unfunny memespouting piles of garbage?

I mean it looks like the kid gets mountains of views. It's like Trick2G and that thumb looking kid that played Draven--I don't get how being an enormous pile of poo poo is productive or helpful and if anything sets this kinda bizarre monument to being a massive twat in game that everyone aspires to be but I dunno, maybe I'm too old to get the point of it

nightblue lost a lot of viewership when he got salty as gently caress and did a bunch of stuff in a desperate attempt to gain more viewers. tyler and trick are popular because it's a nerd dream to be an insufferable pile of poo poo but also good enough that people have to tolerate you

On top of that he seems to really enjoy nonstop mocking and trashtalking of bronze players while he's making GBS threads on them on a smurf

Settle down, Beavis. I'm not asking for a guy that's smurfing many tiers below his main account to give me a dissertation on jungling thousands of games in. That being said, I am appreciative of his videos where he zooms in a lot and screams in the dragon pit for dragon to save him while playing dragonforce, because that is very funny and good.

It's weird b/c he's a good enough player to be informative as an instructional guy, and he's not funny enough to be trick/qtpie, but he attempts the latter anyway.

What magic matchmaking land have you landed in? I've had more multiple disconnects than I can count on both hands (probably 15-20 roughly) and probably a good third of what few games I still play end up as a 4v5.

How is this even possible with the remake feature now.

I think I've had one real DC 4v5 in the last 20 games.
