I hope you honored them

I honored every single one of them. I usually honor everyone on both teams when there's an unfair matchup due to disconnects from the start, unless somebody rages, whines, or is a total jerk.

I whine when it's 5v5 in ranked. Jungler goes and gets 2 kills, and then he afks saying sorry my parents are making me clean. At the end of the match he returns, and all I say is fuck you. He replies with....Mad? UFKC FUCKCUFK CUFKFUCJwefwefwefwefef FUCK YOU

wow what a jerk

I finally made it to bronze 4 today! My second promotion game was a little stressful though. We had two people fighting over mid and they both picked mid. My client disconnected right before my turn and randomed me to Kog - luckily ADC was the only role nobody else wanted (besides support) so it was a good pick. It reconnected right after it randomed me, lol. I promised our Lux that if she came bot instead of mid, I would share farm and kills with her. She went super aggressive support and didn't take much farm so it was totally cool. We got really fed bottom and I narrowly escaped death like 3 times. Our team pulled through in the end and won! I was honestly surprised because I thought the game was lost before it even started.

Congrats Lucid!

I'll be trying for Bronze IV this weekend, I'm actually 13th place in my League right now, up from like 46th, and I'm only getting better. I got Nidalee now, so top lane won't be such a hassle anymore, and I'm getting better at Blitzcrank, and my mid game is back on track.

Sounds like y'all are having fun in ranked....can't wait til I'm able to.

Haha it can be fun when you win, yes, but I'm telling you now most losses are because of the makeup of League of Legends.

Between levels 1-10 (Smurfs not included in these lists, btw):
74% non-communicative feeders
21% People who think they're the best League player in history
4.5% People who think losing a game is fun
.4% People actually trying to get better and failing due to sheer impatience
.04% People not trying yet getting better
.009% People trying and getting better
.05% AFKers
.0008% Other
.0001% You

Levels 11-15
90% Assholes with no kill who think they're the best League player ever
8% Non-communicative feeders
2% People who act different on a day to day basis

Levels 16-20 are a blur of the last two categories

Levels 21-29
72% trolls
8% Ragers with a superiority complex
10% Trolls with a superiority complex masking what is actually an INFERIORITY complex
7% People actually trying and communicating
2% people slowly giving up on this stupid game
.9% Non-communicaters, usually feeders and usually turn into ragers
.1% People who act like 5 year olds yet still win somehow

And then level 30 looks like this in non-ranked

88% Assholes who almost never communicate with a HUGE superiority complex and a giant ego
7% trolls
1% Non-communicating feeders who have coasted through on sheer number of games played
1.2% People actually worth playing with. they communicate, work with the team, and are genuinely friendly people.
3% Terrible players who don't know what a team comp looks like and think support and jungle are unnecessary roles
.7% Average players
.1% people just there for rank practice

Ranked looks like this
95% Assholes with a god complex who will only play one lane and one champion and if you don't let them have it they troll the game, intentionally feed, and like to do the whole "I PICK FIRST SO SCREW YOU CAUSE I'M DA BEST" only with worse grammar. These people also learned English by being dropped on their heads repeatedly in a library full of misprinted books about spelling things wrong.
4% Pure trolls
.3% Good players
.3% Fantastic players
.2% Bad players that are friendly yes, but should not be in ranked
.1% Nice people who will fill and are actually communicative and useful
.09% Non-communicating feeders
.01% Average human beings not hellbent on being a waste of air

Sounds about right....*shrugs* I just try and communicate, but more often than not I end up with a player that either rages because I pick a champion they want, who waits until after I lock in after a good 30 seconds of sitting there if they can have it, and proceeds to either: A) quit, or B) bitch the entirety of the game. Besides that, it's a mixed bag. I'm learning some bits, and trying to pick up jungling some...at least the basics of it.

I'd be happy to offer you any assistance you need, and even play with ya some to help in games. What level are you? I have a level 10 smurf

Right now? I believe level 15-16. Been a few days and I've been busy. I play with hyjin sometimes and another friend who lives around me. Mostly I just play to save up IP for the champs that I'm wanting.....which happen to cost (at least for most of them) 6300. I've gotten one of em so far, but that's because I splurged a bit and bought several of the lower cost ones.

Meh, it's actually best to just pick between 2-4 champs you like and only play those for the most part. The best players out there only play a few different champs regularly (Mind you I don't even take my own damn advice on this because yay shinies)

So far my main core (that I have) is Hecarim, Ashe, Sivir, Garen, and Yi. I'd like to get it eventually to be: Hecarim, Volibear, Varus, Quinn, and Malzahar.

so today im gonna empty out my wallet... im gonna finally finish building my pc... and im gonna liquid cool the cpu... screw fans...

About the advice you gave that you should only play a handful of champs. I'd have to disagree. You should try to main a lane, and play a handful of champs dedicated to that specific spot then other champs for the other lanes you play less often. Also about the I only wanna play this lane in ranked. Honestly it's the best way to go. You are more likely to have a winning match if you play one lane, and only one lane in ranked matches. I've won 90% of my jungler games in ranked, and most of my ADC/Support games. The top and mid though have my most losses because I don't generally do them. It's all about what you're comfortable enough to carry in.

I like your list Hermes. According to that, I am part of these groups.
Non-ranked: .1% people just there for rank practice OR if playing with friends, 7% trolls, but that's mostly in a good/friendly way like "We should play an all assassin team!" or "Let's go all mid!"
Ranked: .2% Bad players that are friendly yes, but should not be in ranked and .1% Nice people who will fill and are actually communicative and useful (I don't believe these two groups are mutually exclusive.)

When I was around level 15 or so, Lulu came out and I decided I needed to play her. I would duo with my roommate at the time who mostly played AD Carry. I had a blast playing as support and bought even more support characters and eventually came to "main" support. I'm definitely a lot better at squishy mage/utility supports than I am with tank supports, but that's okay because nobody complains if someone is willing to play support, ward, and not take their creeps. It sounds like you really like jungling so I would suggest doing something similar. Buy as many junglers as you think are interesting and focus on learning that role inside and out. Watch pro matches to see how the pro junglers play and see what the strengths and weaknesses of each champ are. Everyone loves somebody who knows how to jungle well, and if you're good enough at it, you can win games by winning every lane for your team.
(TLDR; What Law said.)

In ranked, if you main top/mid you need to know how to play other roles well, but if you main jungle/support you can almost always have it. I have played top probably twice ever because people almost always call top/mid, and my husband plays top in our team of friends so I have put almost no effort into learning top. I can handle it if I need to, having a few bruisers that I play in 3v3, but I don't know the matchups well and I tend to play too passive. I have never lost as Zyra mid in ranked, but I've only had 4 games with her as mid. I play her support enough to keep my skills up. I only know how to jungle Shyvanna and, as of this last week, Cho'gath, but I rarely need to jungle either.

Haha have to ask this. Who are you talking about Lucid? Are you talking about Alpha loving jungling?

I believe she meant you liking the jungle. Alpha has not done much jungling at all it seems.

You can't always stick to one role though. A handful of champs is seriously the way most people not on a pro or 5s team go, and then when you're on a team yes you can do the same role over and over. But what happens when you aren't first pick, and first pick takes your lane? do you just dodge all day until you get what you want?

when I do play ranked, my main champion is Soraka. I play Support, so I don't usually have to worry, but just in case, I have champs for elsewhere. I play Orianna/Twisted Fate mid, I play Master Yi/Udyr jungle, I play Olaf/Singed top (Singed now being replaced by Nidalee, though) and I can adc with Quinn, Ez, Tristana, or Ashe, I'm good with them all. I would say bot and mid are my main lanes, and that my main 3 champs are Soraka, Quinn, and Orianna. Handful of champs, 3 different roles, I can do them all.

Haha well for one I feel like she can't be talking to me because she knows I own every champion, and two you don't dodge all day until you get it. Generally in higher ranked play people know you shine best in your best role, so they are more willing to give you what you want. There is a reason though that you main a role, and sub another role. Just in the case that you can't get what you're best at.

Oh I thought Alpha was leaning towards learning jungling, what with Shyvanna and Hecarim and Volibear and learning how to jungle. o.o If I'm wrong, my bad. >.>

I have had people call support and it feels weird to me. I don't dodge though. When I'm not support I most often get stuck as ADC, which I'm very comfortable with Tristana and fairly comfortable with Kog'maw. Second to that I get stuck in jungle. I really like Shyvanna but I feel like she is a little too weak. If I don't take their red at level 2 (for example I'm up against Lee, Mundo, or Tryndamere), I feel like I fall too far behind in gold and levels. She can't gank very well so I feel like she doesn't have much of an impact. Whereas Cho, I played him for the 3rd time ever in a ranked jungle, and I was able to snowball my bottom lane and put pressure on the enemy mid laner. By lategame my CC helped in teamfights and I was also beefy enough to take some damage. Even with significantly less experience playing him, Cho was easymode jungling.
I almost got to play top yesterday, but somebody dodged. Somebody always calls top.

Lucid: A bit, but honestly I'm just in it to have fun and/or learn really.

Shyvana has really fallen off, but people like me who have played her for a while can still find use in her. They've kinda left her behind in all the "balancing" though...

Oh yeah, I agree, having a main role is good (Like Lucid and I both "main" support) but it just shouldn't be the only option ^^;

Haha I played Cho for the very first time top lane, and got a quadrakill that game. He's really easy to use honestly. I think he's still fun though, and has great use in fights.

Also most solo queue ladder climbers really only play a total of three champions, and they are all generally for the same role but they also generally are champions that can fill another role. Such as Diana Mid Top or Jungle.

I'll agree that in higher tiers, you can stick to one role, and SHOULD do so

So I might just have a new jungler that is fun to play. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/z...eapon-revealed He seems like he might be really fun.

i must test out my new machine... i feel so proud of it

I think Zac seems interesting, but there's this thing about him that irks me....he has TWO passives. They revealed Karma's reworked kit yesterday as well, and she has NO passive. WHYYYYY all the Karma hate?! ;~~~~~;

She has a passive her basic attacks, and spells reduce the cooldown on her Mantras. She also has that new form of shield when she uses it with a mantra is does dmg like it did before but also shields all nearby allies too. Her tether also heals her now while mantra is active, and will root targets when it's broken. Not to mention her nice AoE slow skillshot that detonates for extra dmg. He only has like one passive technically. It's also kind of like a crappy Anivia passive because those little slimes die easy, but it's cell division. He divides on attacks which can be picked up for health, and on death he divided into 4 which will try to pack it to res him. It's only technically one thing.

I also like how you get the free Traditional Karma skin if you own her before launch.

law play wiff me... i must test my computer

Shut up queer. Hehe nah okay sweetheart I'll play with you.

Ugh I need to buy Karma now so I can have the skin XD

Yeah you'll have her new version, but you'll also get a modified look of the old outfit.http://jolstatic.fr/www/captures/957/8/75678.jpg
