actually the professor milk video is good, the lols are too spread out and some of the jokes i think are fail, but some of them were also win. i give the new video a Seven, and encourage anyone who has 20 minutes to spare not to watch youtube videos but go out there into the world and find a really nice local restaurant.

Pog I must respond to this post:

Last night I worked like an hour late so I stopped off at the bar across the street from my work, which is at this super fancy French restaurant. I got a drink and some truffle butter baguette which was super tasty, and I chatted with the bartender and he gave me TWO free drinks. It was much less sad than I thought it would be and I had a nice time.

This is the almost correct, ergonomic way to play.

AWDF for skills. QE for summoners. 123 for activatable items. 4 for trinket.

Anyone can climb out of Silver into Gold if they're willing to put in the time practicing and have the right attitude for it. This was my first time seriously playing ranked since about Season 3, and I went all the way from Silver II to (currently) Plat 4, and I'm on track to end somewhere around Plat 3 or Plat 2.

I think people have a weird misconception that you have to be Apdo or Faker to claw your way out of lower brackets, but it's absolutely not true. You just have to be slightly better than your lane opponent, not take enormous risks for little payoff, play consciously instead of cruising on autopilot, and take losses in stride. I'd like to think I'm living proof of this: I played goddamn support Lux for 79% of my games this season, with probably half of those being before she got buffed. My aim's pretty awful and I have the reaction speed of a rock most of the time. I can honestly say I only carried my team in maybe, like, 2 or 3% of my games. My biggest contribution in almost every win was not tilting, not feeding excessively, going even or winning the majority of my lanes, and encouraging my team to play around objectives with vision and pings. I think the last bit can easily push you up a few divisions by itself if you're reasonably competent at it, because the less your team is randomly wandering around the enemy jungle looking for kills, the more of a chance you have to win. You'd be surprised how readily people will follow your shotcalling if you're not overbearing about it.

I avoid ranked but my goal for next weekend is to get as close to Gold 5 as possible and then give up forever when I finish the weekend in Wood 6.

Currently 9 wins in a row for Rakan in normals but for some reason ranked makes my team mates go full retard.

You forgot about binding Y to mastery emote for easier spamming. I forgot about tilde, I guess I've gotta find a macro for that, or mb bind laugh.

I also bound the item slot I use for sightstone to T since I play a bunch of support, I'd recommend it. Trying C for an active item, but we'll see.

If anyone has solutions that work well for the ridiculous 4 active support games please advise. I usually just end up using 2 or 3 of them, or just slamming every active at once and praying for the best. I guess maybe mouse buttons?

I had some Wukong mid savant in a game tonight who absolutely smoked the enemy Taliyah. He was like 9/2/8 by the end of the game. Didn't say a word the entire game.

That's the one downside to champion reworks: there's fewer of those weird niche players like Pink Ward who absolutely master some ancient-rear end kit and manage to smoke people playing much more modern kits in impressive ways.

It still works through gold/plat! I've been playing mostly Zyra this season (and played her to plat last season) and she still seems pretty good, esp because liandries is so solid atm.

If you max e first and save that plus r for peeling you can do a decent job keeping your team alive while also getting sick kills. Generally just being ready to shift more towards focusing on peeling /kiting/sustained damage vs trying to just combo ppl down in the mid/ late game helps a lot imo, and really plays to her strengths. You can play so far back and still do your job it's great!

Yeah I think I was being a bit too aggressive on her and ended up on a big of a losing streak. She'd probably still be my pick in a team that badly needs some AP, but those are also the teams that gain the most from censer
