Why are some people allergic to the idea of finishing? I just got demoted to bronze because my team went for inhibitors instead of just breaking the core when the entire enemy team was wiped.

I hate this so much too. I can only imagine it's a combination of A) people massively overestimating themselves and trying to farm kills and show off, not realizing they are not actually far ahead enough to do that, and B) not understanding 'hey this game has comeback mechanics' and how dangerous it is for even one person to die late-game. I have lost my fair share of won games due to some shitter not ending when they have the chance.

Sometimes I do this just because I don't realize I can end. Just not paying attention enough.

This game is so incredibly complex and there are a hojillion things to pay attention to, getting better at it is really a matter of learning where to pay your attention.

Most people only know how to play and not win. There are more surrenders than actual finishes so most people don't get any actual practice about how to close a game out, only how to start.

I think it's also a case of people trying to stretch out the feeling of being strong, or at least stronger than your opponent. Until they get too hyphy an get themselves killed and end up getting the other team back in it.

Haha yeah that's the thread I thought I was posting in. I have this and that one bookmarked and on the awful app their tags look similar.

In league content I recently finished my ranked placement games and hoo boy was normal draft -> gold a rude awakening. It eventually dumped me into bronze which is more appropriate for me.

I should hop on league goon discord, my normal play group seems to be slowing down.

One is kinda mix of steraks + maw, the other one is pure dps item and third one is a item that gives you a dash called Galeforce.

Galeforce should be really good item because dash range looks actually quite decent and it can be used offensively or defensively.

There's also rarely any cohesion. This translates to an inertia from whatever anybody doing because of transiting cost.

If I go try to finish and nobody else does, then I'm just going to spend 2 minutes walking across the map to die or hang out. Might as well keep farming until other people start heading that way. Each person thinks that until someone takes charge or brownian motion puts enough people next to the enemy base.

Also because its league, I assume if you're chatting its probably to complain about everyone but you sucking. I may have stopped reading at the first 'ffs report for inting' after first blood so I didnt notice someone's recommendation in chat.

Yeah, I'm liking the idea behind Mythic items. I think it'll help out a lot with tank itemization, too, since it's easier to make it so that tank items can scale into teamfights without turning lanes into pure stalemates. Looks good as hell and I can't wait to try it out.

Flash is a 5 minute cooldown. When the enemy has it up you basically shouldn't expect to kill them in a gank or a lane all-in. Force them to blow their flash then just back off and wait for the next opportunity.
You can't roam nearly as much as you can in Dota because walking back to lane takes a long time and it lets the enemy push your tower for free -- in the early game, the towers have 5 segments on their health bar, and each individual segment/"plate" gives tower gold separately, so even if they don't kill the tower they can get a big advantage from chipping away at it.
With no courier, the enemy isn't actually stronger until they leave lane to go buy stuff in base. If someone has 1000 gold over you and kills you in lane, you might come back actually stronger than them if you had the chance to buy an item and they're still laning with nothing but their starting inventory.
Unlike TP scrolls in Dota, the Teleport spell shows your destination to the whole enemy team on their minimap even, if it's out of vision. So don't expect to sneak around with it.
Items have like 80%+ of their power budget in their actual stats, not their unique passive/active abilities. Because of this there's very little variation in builds for individual champs. Like in Dota you might buy Eul's scepter on any number of core heroes just for the active (or at least that was popular last time I played it, it's been a while...) but in League you'd never buy Zhonya's Hourglass (which gives a self-only euls active) on a champ without AP scaling.
You can just look up on a site like op.gg to see what the highest pickrate/winrate "optimal" items and runes for each champion is.

Note, however, that the visual effect is still darkened by the fog of war, and it isn't directly pinged onto the minimap if there's no enemy vision on whatever you're TPing to, so you can absolutely sneak behind people who aren't paying attention.

So are they sneak peaking Seraphine by letting everyone see her kda version first and let everyone be curious what the base version is like?

That's an interesting choice if so.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Broooooooooo

I swear to god I either posted or was gonna post about a marksman item they should make which is just give marksmen true damage every X attacks like a mini-vayne passive. And thats one of the new items!!

Sick.

Quick Recap

Mythic Items are items that you can only build one of, but which grant a large bonus effect + a mini effect on other completed items. They seem to cost 3400 right now. The 3 shown for marksmen are:

Big Steraks - Grants shield and increased life steal when under 30% hp, grants +8 armor and magic resist to other completed items
Vayne Lite - Every third attack does 80-240(+30% bAd) true damage, other items get +5 crit dmg
Yasuo Lite - Dash (can't go over walls) and deal 105-240(+30% bAd) magic damage to lowest hp enemy nearby, dmg scales with enemy missing hp. Other items get +2% ms


New item for AP Bruisers
Cursed Demonhelm
+80 AP, +400 HP - Dmg marks enemy for 4 seconds and they take 2% of max HP per sec magic dmg and you gain 20 armor/MR every second enemies are a=effected.

+80 AP, +400 HP - Dmg marks enemy for 4 seconds and they take 2% of max HP per sec magic dmg and you gain 20 armor/MR every second enemies are a=effected.

I'm gonna add some other items I found via pausing.

Mythic Item
Battering Ram
+40 Attack Damage, +500 Health, +10% Ability Haste - Rage: Dealing Physical damage grants you 20 MS for 2 seconds, increased to 60 MS if it kills the target. Spellblade: After using an ability, your next AA gains bonus range, speed, deals bonus Phys damage equal to 200% of base AD on hit and dashes you a short distance towards the target (1.5 sec cooldown). Other legendary items gain +6% tenacity and slow resistance.

Legendary Item
Shadowbane
+80 AP, +400 Health - UNIQUE Passive: Dealing ability damage applies Shadowbane for 4 seconds. While an enemy is afflicted with Shadowbane, increase your armour and MR by 20 (+5 per additional champion inflicted) and they take 2% max health magic damage per second.

Void Staff also is changed to +25 AP, +15% MR Epic item that costs 1250 so looking like a component item.

This item rework is going to be loving wild.
