Half health ADC's not respecting the flash/bind/ignite has gotten me so many kills. So many.

People just underestimate supports and don't expect them to play aggressive.

And they keep walking up to the unwarded brush. It's great.

Yeah the game before that my adc was 0-6 at 10 minutes because they kept walking nearly into melee range of lux for no reason. Black shield has a long CD at low levels dude

A wide smile and perfect hair

What does she mean 'really?'

She just stood there and let me kill her. She knew I was in the bush.

I once played an aram with a xayah who kept getting killed by a gangplank in the middle brush and instead of avoiding the brush or scouting it with Q's at all she started raging in allchat all game about how he was cheesing her and should "play right"

Yesterday in an aram a Ziggs kept accusing the enemy Xerath of scripting because he hit some semi-blind Qs in the middle brush.

Not much of an ARAM player but the PBE changes seem positive/interesting.

The backtrack summoner spell thing especially.

You have to say I can open my presents
I don't like the ARAM changes. I like that the champion balance is wildly different from normal games. Most of the poke champions are eating three separate sets of nerf: the champion specific adjustments, the 900 range damage reduction and the new engage/disengage tools for melee champions.

Agreed, don't care for the changes either.
As long as you have a tank and some waveclear, engage comps are already stronger than pokemen. Harsh warmog nerf too. Thé bans are welcome though, goodbye shaco and kayne!

I don't want any balancing in Aram, it's a 4fun playmode and I don't want to think about things like bans and strategies. I don't mind losing in champ select when it's just an Aram.

The worms crawl in,
The worms crawl out.
I don’t mind experimenting with balance changes in aram just to see what evolves, but bans are just gross. They make sense for ARURF because there is no window to counter, but if brand blows his combo on a Maokai in aram, you can still punish him.

A joy of aram is to have those occasional games where at loading screen it’s like “well we’re doomed” and then win anyway. And of course the opposite where you get dumpstered in 9 minutes.

The champion trade shelf was a brilliant addition though

My Aram balance changes:

Everyone is randomly given a champion from the entire game's roster.

No re-rolls.

If you dodge then you get a 2-hour suspension.

Change announcer. Anytime the announcer would say anything it's just Sion''s VO screaming "ALL RANDOM ALL MID".

Assume they succeed in the balancing. Who cares if the enemy team has a Sona and a Ziggs at that point? It just adds an extra minute to champ select.

How so? Just curious, I am way too bad to think about touching akali, and i see her as free win in silver but she has been wrecking in pro play.

"Pick Garen" has been a growing meme in pro games for a while now since he became the only champ to not have a win in a pro game.

I haven't played League in over two years and trying to start again is really frustrating. I'm terrible, I know it - I miss like 80% of my creep last hits and end up at 1/3 to 1/4 of my opponents, forget to ward, have lost most of my game sense and end up being a slight drag on my team - but I still manage to keep a 50%ish win-rate for god knows what reason.

I want to tank my rating, but I just can't do it playing normally. How do I get to the promised land of fellow terrible players?
