Best thing you can do is just personally play well and in chat never try and antagonize the guys who are already being dipshits, force yourself to be positive and not cause back and forth rage chatter and defuse it if others cause it, then if your not being a dipshit yourself, they might even follow your calls for where they should go.

Depending on how you get your fun from League of Legends, this might be the exact wrong advice.

they're testing making targeted spells draw creep aggro for the next patch which is kinda interesting, they might actually start making targeted spells again.

or this is just to further dissuade you from playing the remaining champions with targeted spells in a lead-up to converting more of them to skillshots

that didnt answer my question!

njsykora gave the mechanical answer above, but most people who do anything in league of legends do so not because they have a good reason based on mechanics they understand but because they are aping what is (allegedly) popular in korea or something they saw on a stream without knowing why. even in this thread its not uncommon to see people advised to just blindly follow probuilds or similar if they dont know a champion, which leads to similar aping behavior.

so yeah, "koreans" is a legit answer

Poppy is a fun tank who's in the 450 tier and can burst carries down if she can get a wallstun on them. she got a full rework a couple years ago so she's basically new champ quality design despite being in the bargain bin price tier.

Warwick is another 450-IP recent rework. He is no longer a guy with one button; instead, he's a guy with one button that can miss!

Nunu is also really strong, especially at low levels and experience, because you can just wander around eating the enemy jungle and throwing snowballs at people who try to stop you as you waddle away.

Nasus honestly isn't a bad pick if you want to be tanky while doing damage, you can just build him as a bruiser and his Q will still chunk people out, and his ult gives him so much raw stats that he's pretty hard to chunk down in a fight. The way his Q works will also kind of force you to learn how last hitting works, while also giving you a bit of a crutch in terms of getting okay CS, especially combined with his E. His W is also a huge slow so it's great for chasing, and his E reduces MR/Armor by a lot in its radius, so you're giving your team some unique utility.

The problem with Susan is that he is entirely a scaling champion if you build him the usual Q Max. He is very vulnerable to getting bullied in line if you don't know what you're doing, and that can make for a long series of very frustrating games until you figure out how to play Top Lane, how to CS, how to shove and how to freeze, Etc. These are all things that you need to learn anyway, but he's one of those Champions where you can feel completely useless when you're getting Bodied early-game, so if that happens don't give up hope and just work on your fundamentals.

if the enemy team does not know how to stop you then you can turn the game into a 4v5 by taking all big camps(gromp + buffs) from both side of the jungle forever and float a 4 level advantage over the other jungler until he quits playing the game

And if the enemy team has an idea of how to stop you but is bad at executing it, you can do all of that while also listening to Yakety Sax cuz you have a Scooby-Doo Chase all over the map

Kind of curious why there is so much love for initiators in the advice. My experience playing initiating tanks with the exception of junglers who can do their own thing is that when you try to initiate your team ignores you and blames you for feeding. It's frustrating for me and I have fairly thick skin, can only imagine how terrible it is for a newbie to go in with a stun combo then slowly die because the ADC decides just then is the best time to go kill wolves.

I get what you're saying. It's just that it's really obnoxiously boring to play a melee engager like Leona because you always want to go in when the enemy missteps. Deep down the issue is that I don't really want to learn when I shouldn't go in; instead, I want my team to be with me instead of 900 units away or derping around in the jungle, so that when I decide to go in they can/will immediately follow up. Especially at low MMR there's lots of people with no map awareness, even of the portion of the map that's visible on their screen, and will merrily keep on auto attacking minions or backing or whatever they're doing when you try to give them a gank. And heaven forbid you want to play a melee engage support like Leona at low MMR, you're just going to constantly feed.

Twice this weekend 3 people fought over who was supposed to be mid and all refused to budge or dodge so we ended up with 3 people mid all spamming pings and demanding in all chat that everyone report the other two.

Second game that happened was a draft pick, so I joined them and we had 4 people mid doing nothing. :buddy:

My favorite League of Legends experience from this past weekend was undoubtedly the Varus/Rakan duo queue whom upon repeatedly dying 2v2 in lane decided the problem was that our jungler was not ganking for them enough so to punish him they started reporting our jungler's location in real time via all chat and of course also out came the racist slurs.

i dont know why we actually won that one

but i had a sick rear end laning phase so gently caress it who cares, i had caulfield's three minutes in or some poo poo,turns out after maining tris for a while miss fortune is the real champ im good at

what do bots do when no one goes to their lane

do they just body the tower super fast or do they adjust to match where players are or do they spam all chat with insults or

guess i was wrong and posting about posting is cool and good :geno:

Desperately trying to steer this conversation back towards discussion of the video game League of Legends: after reading advice from a couple pages ago, I started removing Tiamat from my build on Poppy and I'm not really seeing a noticeable decrease in cs across several games; so, I think you guys were right in saying it's just not as good an option for wave-clear as Sunfire Cape, which i was building anyway most of the time. It was just a completely superfluous 1,200 gold tax I was putting on myself for apparently no real reason, and thanks to some smart people in this thread I stopped doing that.

so thanks for speaking up about that :)
