Not like you should expect much. i would like to not get fuckin dumpstered in fifteen minutes because of someone being a total moron or get screamed at by someone in broken english beyond that, i dont really care what people do in those games, gently caress i use them to gently caress around in the jungle

You can practice jungling alone in a custom, and in fact you should!

Sorry for Reddit link but who wants to read about a toxic piece of poo poo player getting owned https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/5b6ml8/rank_1_na_jungler_tarzaned_denied_from_scouting/?st=IV4NWV2I&sh=7184c51f That's what you get for banning Janna

(Real advice though if you're a support player and you don't play Janna, you should probably ban Janna)

Just play ARAMs to 30 unless you're just getting to grips with the game. It's way more fun and nobody cares. The occasional person who does get even mildly upset is basically human garbage and you can ignore them completely.

The occasional person who does get even mildly upset is basically human garbage and you can ignore them completely. I only played AI to 20, which was probably dumb, but now I only play AI if I only have time to play 1 or 2 games that day. The first one will be an AI game to get the IP bonus. Also, I read that ARAM doesn't give as much IP or XP as a normal game. Is that still accurate?

Toxicity in game used to be way worse. Every single game used to end in death threats around season 3. These days it's pretty tame and mostly moved to social media.kingcobweb posted:Sorry for Reddit link but who wants to read about a toxic piece of poo poo player getting owned https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/5b6ml8/rank_1_na_jungler_tarzaned_denied_from_scouting/?st=IV4NWV2I&sh=7184c51f Seeing that was a great way to start my morning.

I have never touched LOL but caught the last half of the new viewer stream of the worlds finals and it peaked my interest. Does anyone have any recommendations for streamers who actually take the time to explain what they are doing and why the are making certain choices, rather than just mindlessly yelling?

Most of them die off after a while because yelling gets more viewers. Of the pros/big names, Bjergsen will usually review the last game in queue but he streams like once a month, Santorin and Xsmithie IIRC are pretty good about explaining too but they're also pretty inconsistent. There are a fair number of high diamond+ players who can explain stuff and usually have fairly calm chatrooms, but just be aware that could mean you're the only one in chat.

Can't really think any that explicitly attempt to cater to new players, but a lot of popular streamers will at least comment on why they're doing some of the things they're doing and analyze in real time why the died, etc. They're typically only useful though if you have some game knowledge already.

I'm leveling up a new account with a friend who's new and I forgot how joyous every game is. Every Draven has a skin, everyone is a "Plat/Diamond smurf" (But will usually lose lane to a silver support main), and everyone is toxic as hell. I feel so bad for any legitimately new players that don't have other friends playing. But hey it's not so bad. Since all these "high elo smurfs" care about is their sick-nasty KDA you can pick a tanky split-pusher and win the game because they'll send 4 people top to kill you while the rest of your team is in their base taking inhibs. It's the funniest tunnel vision I've ever seen and it happens almost every game.

Work Friend Keven posted:All of them four years ago. It's also really hard for a pro to teach newbies how to punish things while playing unless they're stomping newbies because generally players in high elo don't make the same types of mistakes you would see new players making. Dom might abuse the hell out of Diamond 2 players with Eve for being out of position but they're not making nearly as many stupid mistakes as a legit like, level 10 player will be making. The best thing to do is finding out which easy champions are in-meta right now, then finding probuilds.net or champion.gg statistics on how to play them, then check youtube to see if any high elo players have VODs or there's anyone who's made up-to-date tutorials. Anniebot is probably always going to be playing Annie, who's one of the most straight-forward mages in the game.

His stream is pretty chill.

We've started betting on peoples win:level ratio in relation to their toxicity when it's clear they are the ones loving up. It's good times. I crave being 30 again though.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:i dont know any of the champs or mechanics or anything That's pretty much the point. I wish i had done that more. One fun thing I did was duo with another Goon into TT. Like ARAM, it spits xp and gold faster (or so it seemed) and you still can still practice map control, jungling and objectives although you don't get wards.

Vel'Koz is weird. Unlike most other hard to play heroes, the ones on my team tend to be really good and solid team players, but the ones on the enemies teams are usually really awful about leading or comboing to stop any sort of threat running up and killing them. It's gotten to the point where I sometimes think "VK seems kind of lovely" until I get a game with him on my team and I go "nevermind".
