Nightblue3 has had a serious darkening of mood since I first watched his "bronze to diamond" series. He used to be relentlessly positive and constructive, and would just laugh off negative players. There was one game where a Wukong was giving him poo poo the whole time, and he just played along good-naturedly in chat asking if he did good, then honored him after the game. He was laughing and said he was gonna duo with him.

Then I pulled up one of his more recent games, and it was like he had become a fatalist or something. He was complaining about his teammates and overall just a total chore to listen to.

This game breaks men obviously.

So I have played League on and off for about a year now, sometimes with friends other times alone; but I have never really been any good and have only ever made it to Silver though I mostly play Normals.

Are there any Australian goons who would like to hang out and play sometimes while I practice? I am getting bored of being the bad one when ever I play with friends.

Surrenders in ranked make no sense. The enemy team has just as much chance to throw as you do. If you surrender, you 100% lose. If you don't, then worst case that could be 99%. It's not a normal where you would surrender to not waste your time.

It's the whole tilt/embarrassment thing. A lot of people would prefer to throw in the towel if they are say 0/3/0 and have lost their lane than suffer through the perceived embarrassment of a total defeat.

That is exactly why I'm surrendering.

I surrender because I'm bad at this game and don't want to drag my poor teammates through hell if I just fed top twice because of bad plays.

Unless it's Ranked in which I will fight to the end.

Go play some normals then if you don't particularly care about winning?

While I agree entirely with this I think it's funny because when I have tried getting practise in on a new champ or build and I point out its a normal I sometimes get the response "Go play vs AI if you don't care about winning!"

Welp, that was a weird series.

"Top please"

*Other guy takes top*

Forced to jungle, got ganked early by rengar after I took my red, kept my composure, came back with 5 unanswered kills and a bunch of lane assists, force a surrender. had some good teammates too.

Game two involved my forced into support as Karma, things were going well up until lee sin started camping bottom and our AD, foul mouthed lulu mid started yelling at our jungler for no reason. I got caught a few times I shouldnt have early but rectified it later with solid play and good poke. Unfortunately, our mid laner was functionally retarded and our Vi went on tilt and decided to not just ignore her. She dives in one too many times and we eat a loss.

Last game has me forced to bot lane ADC, a role I literally have played 4 times in all these years. I pick Caitlyn and my bot lane assures me that he has AP runes and gives the timless advice "just dont die". Bot lane carries the lane as Nami as I flounder around, 40-50 CS and 2 kills behind. Teleport / Smite Master Yi goes apeshit and mercs everyone; I vaguely help out and picking people off and taking down towers.

So now I'm Silver I

Doin' better than me pal. I'm still Silver 2

If you play ranked you should really keep like, a comic book by your desk that you can pick up and read during load time/after a rough loss

I don't understand the reason why, but I only get mad and flustered when I have an audience to get mad and flustered in front of.

Playing solo, in LoL or any game, really has me going "Oh gently caress I died, good shot mate." But with a friend on Skype or something I complain much much more.

I just started playing again with a mate after a year and I suck worse then I did before; and before I was only a Silver 1 at best.

Is there any Goons who would be kind enough to hold my hand and yell at me to playing better in OCE; when my current state is hitting mobs half a second too late to count?

This game is so different after four years away (Dota2 and then kids). Apparently after thousands of hours of mobas my mechanical skill is roughly intact, but I've zero meta knowledge and my awareness has suffered. Who wants to play chill normals with me sometime? I'm usually online 8-10ish PM CST. I've got mumble and like to use it while playing.

You're doing better then me buddy. Over the last 4 years of on and off playing I have apparently played about 800+ normal mode games.

And I still have an issue where I either cancel my own auto-attacks DotA style or my attack animation finishes JUUUUUST at the minion dies and I don't get the last hit.

Yeah I've got 2500 normals since 2010, and I think 1100 hours of dota2. I'm missing more CS than I like but I want to say I'm getting 4 or so a wave solo. I'm still trying to figure out the new jungle. poo poo is weird. Jungle was probably just barely my most played role in the Before Time, so hopefully I can get the hang of it again.

I would say I get 4 or so a wave too.

I'm trying to practice by playing ADC again but I just seem to be in the harassment center for people who want to be harassed and just get poked all the time.

I am looking at getting back to my old favorites in jungle (Xin/Voli/Udyr) but I am finding lots of mixed guides when I look up rune/mastery set ups and lots of conflicting opinions on which of these new jungle item upgrades is best. Can anyone give me a quick run down for a guy who hasn't played in a year?

RealFoxy posted:

Voli scales off health if I'm not mistaken, so you should almost always build Cinderhulk first, with blue smite to slow people down so you can catch up to them easier.

Xin/Udyr can go either of two ways. You're either going to build Warrior if you want to snowball early game and control the map, or you build Devourer if you want to hard-carry late game. It all depends on playstyle, but right now with the new AD items I'd say Udyr is in a much better position to make impact early game than he's ever been, as opposed to the traditional Trick2g "I'm going to be a useless piece of poo poo for 35 minutes and force you to 5v4 until I try and hard carry you myself as if you aren't even here" style.

Darth Windu posted:

They can all go any jungle item honestly, voli shouldn't get warrior but that's it. Xin is really good with titanic hydra and devourer, udyr probably best with cinderhulk and tryforce. If you're ahead go with the offensive opinion, if behind go defensive.

Ok sweet.

So I am guessing for Xin/Udyr I'll be looking at Attack Speed/Armour/MR runes with 18/12/0 masteries and Death Fire or Fevor of Battle as my number 18?

So I played a game with a good friend after my year long break of not playing LoL with him. Now I remember why I stoped playing with him where I could:

"loving Jax is though.", says Friend Darius.
"gently caress me I got ganked why aren't you helping?!", says Friend Darius after getting ganked by jungle while I gank bot.
"loving hell I can't beat this Jax he is too fed.", says Friend Darius after having been killed by Jax 3 times and going back in for more.
"This Bard is poo poo," says Friend Darius after getting hit by a slow and having an Olaf tower dive him "He's so slow comming up to help me." Bard has been running up to mid this whole time and Friend was warned if he gets hit by a slow he will die.
"We are losing. Everyones hosed gently caress all of you for not winning your lanes."
"gently caress FUCKY gently caress gently caress gently caress poo poo I HATE THIS loving GAME"
"ITS *champnameheres* FAULT"
"ITS NOT MY FAULT JAX IS FED", says Friend Darius after trying to 1v1 Jax and in response to no one saying anything to him about it.
"We would have won if people helped me get fed like Jax."
