I mean I did spoon feed you kills... But I'm proud of ya zak!!! Always down to duo, just catch up to me ASAP.

 

[Leacero]

Yup loving the system, going for my diamond run tonight if people want to watch just add me (budr0). Also coney to heavy!

wut happened to dphat

 

[DallasPhat]

Banned and too lazy to climb again.

 

[Player-3]

[Jim Morrison]

What is the amount of LP based on? Different people get different amounts of LP for the amount they carry? How do they determine it?

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I think it's that hidden elo thing.

 

[Shaya]

I wonder if Riot had actually added some "deciders" rather than just point differences.
I had a game where I lost but went 1/1/4 and had the most cs in the game, I lost only 15 points (usually lose 17-20). Another game where I went 8/0/something I gained 26 points in, when its usually 19-22.

 

[Dekar173]

LP is determined sort of like ELO gain was, if you've got a duo on your team with high elo spread (OR the enemy team) you'll gain very little, for some reason, which is utter trash.

Edit: and Shaya if it were score I'd always gain like 50 lol.

 

[Raziek]

Well, finished my placements finally.

Silver IV, Jax's Rangers.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

That feeling when your Ashe ult kills two low people trying to B in a bush across the map.

Well, finished my placements finally.

Silver IV, Jax's Rangers.

Nice, play more ranked and tell me what ya think of the system.

 

[ShroudedOne]

About to spectate Dphat, Mogwai, and Jpak. What a pleasant treat.

 

[DallasPhat]

Please stop spectating lol. The game was a travesty.

 

[ShroudedOne]

And Ziggs....

 

[Dekar173]

Alright so I'm streaming atm, I'm going to be attempting to give commentary on plays, why I'm doing what I'm doing, etc. Hopefully anyone viewing doesn't want to kill my voice afterward :D

there's a secret tactic that i discovered that makes ap support shaco undeniably viable in tournament play but i am afraid to release it to the public because of the havoc that would ensue

but i'll tell u guys

Spoiler

[Zwarm]

18 minute game #GodBlessAmerica

 

[Sinister Slush]

Team Flip.

 

[fkacyan]

Rule #1 of Promotional Matches: If you're not a duo queue, don't support.

 

[JTB]

I feel like thresh is good as hell, but no one plays him much

 

[adumbrodeus]

I've seen a lot of thresh, but I definately agree that thresh is really good.

Most of them are terrible at him though, high skillcap champs ftw.

 

[fkacyan]

No innate armor/level means that if you get behind for any reason and then get zoned you are the most free kill of all time. On top of that, his plays require you to put yourself at high risk to be effective, which means if your AD doesn't capitalize you're boned.

Requires coordination more than a lot of supports do. Stronger as a duo character.

 

[Player-3]

thresh is op

Agreed but he does have a recovery mechanism in that the few souls he has, the higher the chance of small creeps spawning souls.

 

[Vyke]

Not to mention his W can collect souls for him, and it's got absurd range to do so with. You aren't going to get zoned from souls.

 

[Espy Rose]

Thresh is a hard character to play?
Also, in the chatbox you can resize smilies...
Oh thank god it doesn't follow through on the actual post.

 

[Zwarm]

Oh, I never realized that was a thing, someone told me it wasn't there until SWF updated. I was lied to!!!

 

[RespawningJesus]

Thresh us pretty fun to play as, but I'll stick with Sona and Janna.

Well the cd is pretty high and hurts your trading if you can't shield or escape, so it's not super reliable, but yea you can use it that way to make being zoned out hurt you less

Lost faith in ranked system. Won 7 in a row at 0 points in silver 2, promoted to silver 1, lose 2 in a row - demoted back to silver 2 at 50 points, leaving me needing another 5 wins to be promoted again. 2 untimely losses to nullify 5 wins... -_-

Why when promoted do you enter the next division at 0 points if simultaneously you can lose 50 points for being demoted?
