I've been playing since just after Lux came out and not once have I ever received so much as even a warning for anything whatsoever. I've had mountains of matches where people were threatening to report me and I just laughed at them and let them know that their report weight would get dropped. The system only ever chat restricts you if you are really loving up consistently unless you are dumb enough to do something like dropping the n-bomb. (That was the fastest instant report feedback I had ever received to date, 3 seconds after clicking the report button lol). If you get chat restricted, you are way more toxic than you think.

I will gladly admit it if I'm wrong, but right now and smells like you're trying to make it sound like you got punished for something light that you didn't deserve a punished for. Throughout the years I've seen plenty of similar things, and have played in premades with people who have said the same, and not once have I ever heard about someone getting punished for something like that. Of all the people I know who have gotten chat restricted however, they are insanely delusional about what is considered toxic speech or not, and have horrendously warped perceptions of what they actually say to others

Elentor posted:On my annual trip to get gold skins. 2/1 so far on the provisional series. Starting with TT playing as Brand, haven't trained or touched the game in about a year. Bets on where the 10 game series is gonna land me. Last season I was gold 3 from the previous season before that, and then during my promos I had 6 matches where someone on my team disconnected and never came back, 2 matches where someone on my team intentionally fed by going for touchdowns on the enemy nexus, and 1 match where I legitimately lost. The system put me in bronze 4, and I was basically a literal god down there. I had never had so much fun in league of legends than during my time in bronze as a gold player. My only regret is that the matchmaking system very quickly realized its mistake and started giving me 40-60 LP per win and skipping entire divisions.

Lord_Magmar posted:The other problem here is that the game has consistently skewed towards damage being stronger than damage mitigation. Which means that Tanks have to be really good at certain things because the thing they’re meant to be good at doesn’t exist. As a rammus main, knowing that if a match makes it to late game I'll get melted within 2-3 seconds by the ADC/top laner even with my full build makes me very sad.

mistaya posted:You can't abandon your lane at lvl 3 to run up to your own wolf camp on Red side or you forfeit your lane AND you probably don't even get there in time anyways, AND the enemy bot and mid could meet you there and kill everyone. It was a Twitch getting murderfucked by a Reksai, we couldn't even get to him before he was dead. If I see my jungler getting invaded in our jungle, I am absolutely going to drop everything I'm doing and haul rear end over there to help if there's even a chance that I'm going to make it in time, regardless of what level it is. Denying the enemy jungler first blood and possibly giving it to my own jungler is a pretty big advantage in comparison to the handful of CS I might miss at most, and not even counting the numerical advantage or the advantage of not letting your jungler get hosed over early, being a jungler and watching your team not do poo poo while you get counterjungled to hell and back is the fastest way to get tilted off the face of the planet. I'll gladly trade a few CS for denying first blood and keeping my jungle untilted and probably a little more willing to gank my Lane when needed instead of being pissed off at me and refusing to touch it Umbreon fucked around with this message at 13:12 on May 6, 2019 |

You guys basically just reiterated riots reasoning for systematically getting rid of point and click abilities, especially ones with CC. Said abilities are extremely strong and eat up huge amounts of a champs power budget, which drastically reduces the cool and fun stuff that can be done with the rest of their kit. Y'all can argue about it and complain, but point and click cc and most ranged offensive point and click skills are on their way out regardless of your opinion on the matter, for the reasons listed above. Hell, I guarantee you if fid gets a rework, he's losing at least one point and click, if not more

RealFoxy posted:Riot is just about Flavor of the Month and what sells the most skins. Trundle has been a fun and rewarding champion to play when he isn't beaten into the ground, but I guess didn't sell enough skins. They've always shy away from natural counters and would rather just nerf what's strong rather than having natural counters and evolving metas. Natural counters are not exactly a good solution, seeing as you can just ban them. Or just be a late pick and your natural counters are in roles that have already been picked.

RealFoxy posted:Natural counters are great if there's enough of them, instead of just static OP champions every patch. Taric/Sona meta wouldn't have been so miserable if things like Xin/Nami could have just countered them. I don't think that's feasible. To have enough champions to ensure just one champion can always be naturally countered by another champion pick, you would need at least one champ in each role who could do it due to late picks, plus another champ or two to get past the natural counter vulnerable champ's player coordinating his team banning the natural counters. That's also skipping the fact that "naturally being countered" feels absolutely miserable and unfun, as outside massive differences in skill between the players, getting countered by someone even halfway competent at their champ means you are either almost functionally useless for a significant portion of the match or will feed the enemy team a bunch of gold as you reverse snowball.(or both)

The most critical part of a taunt is the fact that you can pull your target with you into a better position for you, especially if they are melee. Pulling a melee champ from under their turret range for example, or simply just pulling someone back after you gank them to make it so they have to run further to get back to safety and give your laner more time to attack them Umbreon fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Sep 18, 2020 |

Just made it back into gold myself. I got a little curious and started of recording some stats about my matches, here's what I got out of the last 20 before I made it into gold: 8 matches had someone hard inting, rage quitting, or otherwise performing actions that were intentionally trying to sabotage the match and force our team to lose. Note that I'm not talking about having a bad game or a really unfortunate disconnect, only matches where the person actively admit they were trying to force our team to lose or admit they were quitting on purpose. Of those 8 matches, one of them was a victory despite the guy that was trying to go for touchdowns in the enemy fountain. Rest were losses. One match had an early disconnector, but it wasn't on purpose. They never came back, but we pushed through and wound up getting the enemy team to surrender 10 minutes later. How did they lose? Post game chat showed they were very obviously infighting and blaming each other and spending more time typing than actually playing. My current record for instant feedback reports in a single day is four. Happened during these 20 matches. Highlight was a singed top who called me a retard who lost his lane for him because I wouldn't gank for him. When I pointed out that I had literally could not help him because he was deep into the enemy jungle and dying in between their towers, he said it was still my fault for not helping him. The instant feedback report for that one was particularly delicious. 5 matches were matches where we were horribly behind at one point due to teammates feeding (but not because of me, more on that part later), but I did my best to stay positive and encourage my team and to stop fighting and blaming each other, and while they didn't always listen, in all five of those matches we wound up winning anyway by making a huge comeback. 6 matches in total were disasters early on due to my own performance, usually due to making one bad call early and getting reversed snowballed when the enemy team starts invading my jungle and counterganking me every chance they get. Of those 6 matches, 3 of them were victories. If I'm horribly behind, I ask my team for help or warn them that I need to stay back and farm and can't gank until I catch up. This actually has worked several times and gotten people to play safer and gave me time to catch up, which is mostly where those victories came from. (That and I main Warwick, so I frequently focus on ninja soloing objectives or stealing them, especially when behind. I apparently have the epic stealer tag on porofessor because I do it often enough) I have been playing since Lux came out, and I haven't been warned, chat restricted, or chat banned yet. Staying cool is extremely important for avoiding tilt, both for yourself and your teammates. It is by far the most important skill in the game, way above CSing or anything else. I know that sounds stupid coming from a gold player and not a challenger main or something, but for what it's worth, I don't get any higher ranked than gold because I just don't play league enough to try for it. Everyone gets rage quitters, intentional feeders, and unfortunate disconnects, which massively increases the amount of matches you have to win to make up for it, and I just don't have the time for that poo poo. I hit gold and then go back to goofing around in normals. E: forgot to mention these numbers actually put me at a 50% win rate, I only made it into gold because of the 21st match, a promo where I already had two free wins and just won once and that was it. I had failed two promos during the course of these matches. Umbreon fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Feb 8, 2022 |
