LoL is sort of like bullying IRL, if you hit the bully back you get reported and told to behave while they keep doing the same thing over and over with no real consequences screeching KYS KYS KYS RETARD NOOB OMG that echoes into eternity. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I don't even play Senna but that True Damage Prestige skin is so delightfully over the top. It is like if a whole rack of plastic jewelry at Forever 21 got turned into a skin.

I mean, I can't remember the last time I was on the internet and saw someone write "Hey, you are actually right, thanks for making that point". I dont even get why I am trying to make actual valid points in-game when most of the time I just get RETARD NOOB OMG back most of the time or "Strategy is for nerds" mentality.

Usually I just put something flippant like “thanks for the feedback” or “your opinion is important to me”. If they weren’t already tilted by then it’s almost a guarantee they will be.

If I'm going to intentionally tilt someone I'd rather it was someone on the other team, that's where the real fun is.

My philosophy towards solo queue is that anyone who cares about improving at the game already knows when they've hosed up, and therefore doesn't need me passive-aggressively reprimanding them in the guise of coaching in the middle of a game.

The only time I type at my allies is "gj", summoner timers, and stuff like "hey jhin, as soon as kaisa uses W I'm all inning on her" Jfc I usually mute all except my adc at 1:30 and mute them if they start with any negativity

Tank Sylas jungle is great. Very weak first clear, but gets incredibly dumb - spiritual successor to tank fizz/ekko jungle. Max w - e - q, go conqueror with last stand, and ravenous/the other healing one. Runic -> Iceborne -> SV -> Liandries (?) with mercs or tabis. The healing is actually insane, if you can get past the early game and get to skirmishing poo poo's wild.

I had a team in silver do a very funny strat, where the team was "Mid Neeko" and a bot of Trist & Pyke, and pyke played very far back while trist pushed for level 2 and Neeko never showed mid vs our Diana. Then when they hit level 2, surprise, it was neeko all along and she rooted us through the minion wave. Blew our sums but they let Diana have a free lane for the first like 2 or 3 minutes and then she got 16 kills, so not sure it paid off for them.

  Garen and Yuumi returned with a vengeance. The game lasted an hour as the enemy seemed resistant towards taking towers and we managed to take some inhibitors which stalled the game. Eventually, the game ended by Garen and I doing a backdoor and just taking down the exposed nexus. Garen just doesn't die when he has a Yuumi attached to him alongside Redemption heals. It was very funny and felt so good to win in the end.

What does actually trigger autofill? I ended up getting jungle while queuing top/bot, and... well despite my asking for a switch, I was told "don't worry you'll do fine". Fast forward to 15 minutes later, the game was over - I pretty much inted against the other jungler in my own jungle. Next time I'll just dodge but it feels pretty bad.

If you get autofill jungle, just play Warwick. He is probably. The most brain-dead jungler to play, even for people who have never played jungle.

So I tried a game of intermediate bots today because I wanted to see what Ornn is like, since he seems to be popular around here. Gragas was jungling too, so he took top side with herald, and I got bot with dragon. I was just puttering around, trying to figure out Ornn's powers, and bottom MF starts yelling at us fools to help. I realize she's 0/3. Top is just as bad, and our Janna never actually went mid, she's just flying around tossing whirlwinds randomly. The bots all teamed up mid and we lost. These people weren't all low level either. I never realized that there are people who just happily play vs bots and find it challenging and fun. God bless them. Ornn seemed fun, though. he just always seems a bit clunky, like I pull combos off but they're messy. I want to play him some more.

Man, I was having a really good game as orianna last night where we started the game in a terrible position, but by mid game we'd turned it around and had a sizable lead... And of course my internet went out and is still down 15 hours later. At least it's the only leave I've gotten in like.. probably 4 years at least? Hopefully I won't get punished too much for it.

If you dont have a record of leaving games you're probably not getting dinged for a connection failure.

you can leave a lot without getting punished for it. the only time ive gotten in trouble for it was when i had serious pc issues that made me crash after 10 minutes of play and it would happen maybe 5+ games in a row. every time you queue you have to wait for 5 minutes before it actually starts matching you but it increases if you start leaving more games. the highest it got for me was a 60 minute punishment queue before every game. if you finish a few games without leaving the punishment queue becomes shorter until it goes away

I don't even know how these things are called Go into the practice tool and try out a jungle clear just to learn what the camps do, or download a replay from one of your recent games and just watch what the junglers do. Also don't forget to buy your jungle item (Machete or Talisman, they give bonus XP when killing jungle camps) to start unless you want to have a bad time. Warwick is hilarious as a beginner jungler because you just build a Black Cleaver as your sole damage item and then pile on the tank stuff and you still do loads of damage and have enough healing in your kit to never die.

If its blue do the frog and then just go to red buff and hit 3 and try to gank. If its red go to blue and finish the frog and try to gank.

For Warwick I usually do Buffs > Wolves or Gromp > Buff > Scuttle and from there I'll try and find a gank and do whatever camp is closest. If W triggers I'll go and try and put pressure on the lane that triggered if I can. Try and pressure bot early if you can because Warwick can do drake reasonably safe reasonably early (once it's down to half HP, you outsustain it). Beyond that I am not a good jungler so I don't know poo poo but Warwick's simple to play.

Seconding warwick as an easy ah jungler. Once he gets tiamat his W and passive are enough to take down camps pretty quickly because the W gives passive attack speed when the enemy is below 50%, so you get faster with a few hits and tiamat helps get the rest of the camp below as well until it’s all gone and you move on. I’ve been playing him a bit with predator/movespeed runes and items and he gets around quite well and the bonus is his R leap distance scales off movement speed so if you activate items just before ulting you can catch them off guard pretty often. Mega fun.
