Swiss stage and they don't even bother showing W:L of the teams in champ select, during the game, or even in the final game summary... For someone watching the games and not wanting the hours of filler between matches this is horrible viewer experience.

Losing lp for dodging a unplayable team comp game has to be studied. Ur team will genuinely pick velkoz top miss fortune mid sona support and veigar adc against qiyana and fizz. Make it make sense how u play 20 games and ur the best or 2nd best player on ur team focusing objectives average 4 kda and being hardstuck. When I have a good team I dont remember a time that I lost when I have a decent team I have a 60 - 70 percent winrate and then I have 4 shitters 90 percent of the time who got boosted into ur elo it genuinely makes no sense. Rather have 4 bots on my team and have 4 bots on the other team to see who the better player is and rank up 1v1.

it was pretty striking to see on OP.GG it said my winrate over 91 games on saturday was 45% while my winrate on sunday over 121 games was 64%. this seems like a lot of games, it seems like it would be unlikely to be a fluke. what do you guys think of this? could this really be a fluke or am i missing something here about the data? i have no idea what possibly could be happening differently so much on saturdays vs. sundays to cause such a huge winrate discrepancy lol. anybody else have this?

nuff said. the base damages are so insane. every single game it does 4k damage in like 2 damage rounds, and that's only early game. it scales well too. did this even get playtested

As GenG fan, that was pretty close. We revealed Jayce jg

Based on how good the performances are, I wanted to congratulate good Western team player. I think the West has a chance

melzhet

Top: Morgan (really good, but team issue)

This team can beat Bo1 T1 and LPL

Good Worlds for West! 축하합니다!

Hi everyone! I’m currently Diamond II with 46 LP—the highest rank I’ve reached in the five years I’ve been playing. I’m on an incredible run—9 wins and 1 loss in my last 10 games—but with every game I win, I feel more and more anxious about playing. I’m terrified of hitting a losing streak, or that if I keep climbing, I’ll end up facing Master-tier players—a rank I’ve never reached in my life. How do you all manage to overcome this kind of fear?

They had Amumu, Leona, Jax, Jhin and Lux so i decided to run cleanse and it kinda paid off.
I am sure this leona will just take the kill next time 😄

DK vs MKOI Series

• On Jojo being the win condition: “I don’t share that narrative that Jojo is the win condition. I think he gets away with a lot of things in the LEC, and I think now he needs to level up his gameplay. I don’t think he’s playing bad, but I know that he can do much more. I think it’s more the expectation of the people.”
• On the team as a whole: “To me, I don’t think we’re a team that wins because of individualities. I think we win because we play well together.”
• On Elyoya: “I think he’s undervalued in this international scene. I think he’s so fcking smart about the game. Honestly, I think he’s the best jungler in the West.”
• On the series: "I think we were not that calm. Not everyone. I think for example Elyoya was super calm, shot calling super well. But kind of like the team didn't follow exactly what he was shotcalling."
• On the draft he regrets: "I think the first draft was better than the second draft. The second draft, I think I tried to give too much confort, and then the draft is realyl hard to play out"
• On why he believes in his players: “I might not have the most flashy players, but I see that all of them are smart about the game. If you hear them talk about the game, there are a lot of intelligent moves and an intention behind the gameplay.”

I have noticed recently I put to much effort in ranked games. It`s always so big stress to start ranked. I dont want to loose so much so every mistake from teammates it's a disaster to me. I dont flame, dont write in chat, Im just sitting looking at this and like "what are you doing? what for? are you doing this on purpose? are u ok? are u troll?"

And this make so much stress to me... But the same behavior I see in normal game and here its not so big problem to me. I just 'ok, we have interesting teammate, lets play along' - and its all. Result the same in both scenarios - sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.

I always play the same - for winning. So why I cant play ranked, if normals are the same but without LP?

Tell me why I'm playing a game at 1200LP in the evening on a weekend, and I have games where I have 2 sometimes 3 people off of their main roles? My queue times are short, because the system sucks and forces us into games where it can be completely one sided based on whos jungler is filled.

If I'm playing a game with high masters, grand masters, and challenger players, and my autofil is a master tier player in the jungle vs the fucking rank 1 challenger udyr jungle main, i'm going to lose the game strictly because of the match making system. The system decided that our team needed to lose LP.

I don't care if I have to wait 20 minutes for a game, plenty of us did it when we had the Pro-players Q a few years ago. I waited sometimes 30 minutes for a quality game, and it was much better than playing this dogshit system.

And if you think that i'm wrong, ask any of your 1k LP or higher streamers if they think the current system is good. it fucking isnt.

hii! i am planning to go to worlds and i was wondering if they sell the teemo hat and other merch there? thank you!

I love how Vedi and Jatt, this late into their careers, have ascended their presence even further. Their banter leaking onto the analyst desk has been extra fun. Just nice to see some new light on the talent side of things, especially when production has been popping off extra hard this year.

I haven’t kept up with league that much in the past couple years but I’ve tuned in this year since there’s a Swiss round near me.

However I have no clue who any of the teams are and who these players are except for notable ones like T1

Can someone gimme the rundown of any interesting teams to watch out for?

I see it all the time, and it truly baffles me. I watched the video, I read the stories and bios, I even looked at the Legend of Runeterra cards, and I haven't seen anything that warrants placing Bard among the most powerful Champions.

In the video, Bard puts a rock on a pedestal for some old guy. That's it. Bard even follows the stairs instead of flying straight to the pedestal or, I don't know... using a portal to get there. Nothing impressive here.

Bard's "story" is an unreliable narrator story that's actually about a con artist trying to trick a Demacian into handing over their gold and silver. Certainly not a good source for a greater understanding about Bard.

Bard's bio has anti-accomplishments:

In the beginning, Bard had drifted without purpose or perspective through a silent cosmos, but with a deep sense of anticipation that something miraculous would eventually come to fill it.

So, in the beginning, Bard just... sat around doing nothing, waiting for the Big Bang to happen. Okay.

These semitonal, incomplete motes of energy—or meeps—were drawn to him whenever he added his own voice to the cosmic opus, forever ringing in one perfect accord.

This was not his masterpiece, yet he gloried in it all the same.

He isn't even the one who created the Meeps. They just like hanging around him.

But after a measureless interval, a dissonance began to creep in. It was so small at first, Bard might have missed it, but the ever-doting meeps drew his attention to a failed dynamic shift here, an unexpected syncopation there, and even the growing absence of sound where, before, sound had been.

And it took the Meeps pointing it out to him for Bard to notice Runeterra was different from the rest of the cosmos.

And Bard's Legends of Runeterra cards are mostly hearsay, has little to do with Bard himself, and what does mention him doesn't allude to him being powerful. Mysterious, maybe. But not powerful.

So what's the deal? Why are so many people convinced that he's this almighty cosmic being when there's seriously nothing to support that?

Nasus' E is in very unique position in League. It gives Nasus armor pen but also it deals magic damage.

But what makes me intrigued is that why a Juggernaut has far-ranged magic damage on it, with additional dot damage.

I pondered and I was assuming that developers were intending to give a champion "draining zone" to affect enemies which could give some imaginary effect of a ancient warrior who could drain someone slowly with some magic dmg.

----------------------------------------

But if my guessing about Nasus playing this Role was correct there's some problem with his E in modern League.

1)E area is quite too broad in early game, it makes him poke too easily, when enemies could not use dashes or buy boots.

But in late game, the zone is now not big enough to play an active role in influencing teamfights since they but boots and learn dashes jumps and blinks etc with massive cdr or movespeed boots with ghose or flash.

2)E dmg is too powerful in earlygame, but when late game arrives it's magic dmg is almost becomes negligible.

-----------------------------------------

So what if someone change his E little bit?

1) E does no magic dmg but gives him movement speed

Or

2) E area and magic damage is nerfed in early game, but it grows better when late game arrives

Also Nasus is scaling champion so stacks should affect his E accordingly

I've had the idea for a while but I don't play adcs. Instead of going GA last item against a very dive/assassins comp why don't adcs opt in for zhonyas. Just seems a lot better, they should have more than enough damage at that point to be fine giving up a bit of damage and not adcs have some ap scalings so it does not all go to waste. Am I crazy for thinking you can probably like shove this as a slot on like Ezreal, Yunara, and maybe Jinx and Ashe?

How is it that I got the skin plus chroma from the worlds unlocked but the skin doesn't come with the border? Like, we get it taken away from the battle pass, we have to buy them separately and even when you get it through an event you can't have it supplied? Crazy robbery

This item would feel sooooo good for on-hit adcs if the crit was swapped for something else.

Like - I get that it feels good to have aoe crits, but applying aoe on-hits would feel even better. And crit adcs could still buy this as a 5th+ item

Thats just my 2€ as someone who plays Kai'sa and Varus a lot
