They should have language detection that looks for people talking about "my other accounts" and autobans them

Most of the time when somebody says "my other account" they're either lying about being a smurf or are a horrifying troll that rotates between a dozen accounts as they get banned. That's what I've seen, anyway.

The best thing was when you could get 15000 RP by signing up for a stupid debit card, buying a $20 amazon card on it, and immediately closing it.

I've been wondering whether flex queue might be the 'softer' queue to climb in if you only care about getting to gold/plat/whatever since fewer high elo people play it, but the games are just such a mess since a lot of people basically use it as normals and the matchmaking data is much younger.

Okay I'll accept being dove and killed and losing my flash and heal at 1 because the Alistar got 2 before me. I'll also accept that because my flash is down and i'm level 3, Udyr should be able to come from the jungle and also kill me. I'm gonna be honest and say I threw my hands up when I saw that stupid time bubble thing and a level 4 mid Ekko roaming from mid dove me behind my tower.

The Akali toplane angry that she couldn't kill Singed came bot as well before I was 6 to flash and combo me with ignite to bring me to death #4. This all transpired before I even dinged six. Botlane is fairly terrible!

Botlane loving sucks and I hate how it's more-or-less the Free Money Lane for other lanes to come and pick up kills from. It's about as bad as S5 where making even a vaguely aggressive move in bot would immediately result in either mid or top TP ganking you. Frankly, that'd almost be preferable compared to the "Lee Sin is coming to kick your rear end every 1:30 like clockwork" meta that we've got now where trying to make a play as someone other than Brand/Zyra + Jhin/Cait is guaranteed suicide until you've managed to scrape enough together for a SS and somehow get an opportunity to sneak deep vision into their jungle. It stinks!

there arent any adcs that can stop from being dove right now, even ezreal. junglers can gank with level advantage at full health, and there's a decent chance somebody involved in the play has a colossus shield too.

edit: this is why wave management is super important and warding atm, because you definitely aren't safe under your tower.

i haven't played adc since the season started except for a jhin game that got remade but im honestly not surprised

like even on aram my last few games on adcs have either involved getting two-shot by an assassin or hypertanks waddling at me with impossibly large shields until i die

The obvious answer is to pick Vayne, condemn people into your tower, then die anyway and blame your teammates.

With a reasonable amount of practice supp zilean basically hardcounters aggressive immobile supports, first couple levels are a bit rough but you can use bombs to help your wave not just get super shoved under turret and once you hit 4+ they basically become free kills cause their only escape from getting slowed is flash.

If you do just get super outplayed level 2 or 3 tho you are p boned so ymmv.

My favorite low elo logic is the "support isn't warding enough".

I was playing Elise support to see what it's like - but had a sightstone I was constantly using and a control wards out all game. This didn't stop my mid and jungler from yelling at me all game for not having enough vision.

And then when I sold my sightstone at 35 minutes to make room for my full build - while we had 3 enemy inhibs down and Baron - mid lux goes "can we have your nami support, at least she buys sightstone"

This is not a good response to the idea that someone like Brand is now one of the highest win % supports because he just builds a sight stone and presses buttons.

Diana is obviously a lesbian and this should be canon.

Seriously though, one of the great things about that Overwatch comic is how it presents the characters in the middle of a regular day, as real people. League's lore is so hamstrung by its "world-shaking important events" stuff, it could really use some comics of league characters just like hanging out or something.

i agree.

and yeah i think ironstylus said diana was. it's a shame they haven't fleshed her story out more because she has by far the most interesting backstory and design/characterisation in the game.
