I'm not even 30 yet, it's a horrible negative feedback cycle where I keep thinking that I should just go ahead and grind away to get to the fun part of the game but then I realize that to do so I'd have to play the unfun part.

I'm not sure that I'd describe ranked as more "fun" than normal, exactly.

It's less about ranked and more about being able to do neat things with runes and masteries.

Like I don't even care that I'd probably do loving horrible with Tank Karma I just really want to try it out but I have a feeling it'd be nowhere close to as fun as it should be with only lovely tier 1 runes and a handful of masteries.

Okay that game is finally over Jesus Christ it was fairly entertaining since it went back and forth for a while but I'm not the biggest mid mage fan so I'm glad it's over.

I really wish people would stop picking Yi in these sub-bronze games. I have yet to see a single Yi do his job properly.

Lady Naga

Also the Yi fed a fair bit early game but later on he was basically our saving grace because the other guys weren't bothering to do Dragon/Baron so Yi scooped them all up.

These two things correlate.

Well yes that was my point? Yi sucks enough atm that I can't rely on someone picking him in these kinds of games to play well enough to compensate for it. I've seen more effective Jhins than I have effective Yis.

It's been so long since I started, do you still get one free champ after the tutorial?

No I mean if you are accurately describing the skill level of the game you are playing (Sub-bronze level) then no one is doing their job properly, including Yi and the 9 other players. Those kind of games are basically cluster fucks decided by coin tosses.

Oh well actually I've found that a good mixture of FOTM broken champs and easy to play staples usually means you'll win.

That's true of all skill levels but it doesn't mean people are doing their jobs correctly.

Yeah but it's easier to flail around as Kog'Maw and still own people than it is to pick Yi and get broken in half.

It's inherently contradictory to admit that certain champs are better than others based on mechanical factors instead of skill and then also say that they don't matter at all in a bracket where players need mechanical advantages to make up for a lack in skill.

Not in pre-30 unranked! Then again; there are rarely junglers in pre-30 anyway, it's all duo-mid-duo.

Also it's dumb that the bots in private games won't leash because that's how I learn new champs so if I start tilting or gently caress my rotation up I can just start over again immediately but since they won't help me fight grom I end up having a much slower game than I would in reality & what's the use of practicing rotation and mechanics in that case?

You should probably, like, learn against people.

Taking a champ I know nothing about into a regular game and using abilities I know nothing about in a real game? Why, what could go wrong?


Tequila Sunrise posted:

Bot games are good for learning abilities and practicing CS'ing and stuff, but jungling is completely pointless. The whole point of jungling is that you aren't tied to a lane so you have to make a lot more on-the-fly decisions, none of which can be practiced against bots.

Jungling is actually the most important role for me to play against fake people because I have enough MOBA experience that I'm aware of how to play a mid/adc/tank but jungling in League is so entirely different from how it's done in DOTA that I'm still not solid on how the camps work.

in the en_US folder there isn't a "shared" folder. Any idea where it goes?

It changes around a ton from patch to patch, just search "Announcer_Global_Female1_VO_audio.wpk" in the base league folder, right click the result and "go to file".

I spent two hours making one myself before searching the net and finding that one already existed lol.

It's more the fact that I'd rather not have to commit to a 30+ minute game if I don't find the champ super interesting or rewarding or I'd rather start over with a different itemization/build.

dude holy poo poo its literally a singular game in which a win or a loss means gently caress all and you move on and don't waste time on the champion later

arent you like sub30 too? most games ended before 30 minutes anyways

I don't care about the win or loss I literally just said that my issue is that I don't want to spend time doing something I don't like for longer than I have to.

I'm just gonna keep playing Garen I think because apparently nobody knows how to deal with a competent toplaner in Normals.

I'm very much dreading the day they stick me against people that know their poo poo because I'll get horribly crushed and the game's a lot more fun when I'm killing Teemo/Garen lanes and getting yelled at for roaming.
