SlyFrog:

People at level 30 have played 100+ games. They also play ranked games.

So I think you tend to lose some of the pure stupid, and gain the “I could be pro, if only all my teammates didn’t suck” game is serious business type ragers.

Yeah I think this is it. Everyone who’s got a few games under their belt thinks they’re HotshotGG and yells at everyone else because clearly they’d be doing better. It’s not my fault I got caught out being alone in the jungle with no wards, fuckin’ Miss Fortune should be warding I gotta carry this noob team, and besides

Too bad =/

I got into LoL because it seemed to have a way more chill atmosphere than HoN. What I wouldn’t give to be level 10 again.

hahah, so true in some instantce. I was on mumble while chiffy plays with bunny, and I overheard chiffy going “you guys just need to not suck in laning phase, so we can win in late game!!!”

I don’t lane (I love jungling), but when I do, I play passively and just concentrate on farming. That is how you avoid losing a lane.

What do you do when you’re doing extremely well as a non-carry and the rest of your team isn’t? I had a recent game as a team ruining Nasus where I ended up with atmogs and trinity force by the second or third teamfight. But everyone else on my team was doing poorly and once they twigged I was critting for 1.5k I was cc’ed & kited to death.

The problem I had was that in order to wade in and kill their squishies I had to leave my own carries alone to die to morde/garen (or whoever it was, I forget). So I’d kill the two squishies (ashe and some ap mage), die, then the remaining enemies would walk over my team. This happened a few times in a row. I was more or less item-maxed and not carry enough.

What to do?

“Not losing the lane” DOES mean losing the lane if you allow the other guy to free farm.

Not if you are also free farming.

Had a game of Dominion earlier today where we won something like 465-0. The game was only 5:35 long. We five capped and held it all game.

Play with friends or stop fucking whining.

This. For those of you wondering, passive play wins lanes. Until you are “super pro” and can actually grab 80+ CS in 10mins without thinking about it, that is all you should be thinking about.

Chequers, if you can’t carry as Nasus you ain’t gonna carry as anything. He’s one of the strongest late game characters in the entire game.

MrCoffee:

Don’t play with pubbies?

Heh, true that I guess. Although there is something behind figuring out a strategy. I mean I’m sure it’s not the best but the one I use will probably win you more games then lose in this kinda un-organised time.

Really? I couldn’t reach any of them, with ashe perma-slowing me.

MrCoffee · 2011-09-26T19:29:31.000Z

I fear Nasus when i’m Ashe, he just fucks me up.

Yea unfortunately Nasus is like hard-countered by Kite. Ideally you wanna be running Exhaust on him (not always possible) and either way, killing the other 4 should be easy enough. Your teammates will eventually do something, provided your team-comp is not completely retarded.

You should never pick Nasus against Ashe/Janna/Brand unless you are confident in your team/initiator to negate their advantages.

I feel like Riot could make more money if the in-game store were available from their website. When I’m logged in I usually just want to play the game. If there were a way to buy riot points and browse and buy skins out of game, that would be pretty dangerous. They should at least let you be able to look at available skins from their site.

I keep expecting to see something like that from them. Kind of surprised we haven’t so far.

AaronSofaer · 2011-09-26T20:28:12.000Z

Man, I just love being trolled by my team! Why don’t people who deliberately feed enemy teams - and admit as such in chat! - just get permabanned, their account deleted forever?

SlyFrog · 2011-09-26T20:37:27.000Z

I have a theory that you could create a syntax parsing function that scans people’s chat for excessive use of things like “lol,” and “bro,” and if you just banned those people without warning using some sort of blended scoring threshold, you would drastically improve the game.

Or really, frankly, almost any online game.

MrCoffee · 2011-09-26T20:39:47.000Z

But then noone would be playing.

You lose, mostly.

I’m surprised you couldn’t do more as Nasus, but it just goes to show that a character who’s very survivable but can’t force people to focus him is pointless.

Harkonis · 2011-09-26T20:52:01.000Z

It’s very hard to convince people that you can just run up and cap a point in dom… you don’t have to stop and kill the minion wave first. go on, run up there! there are no enemies there but there will be by the time you get there if you stop to fight the f’n minions! go!

arg!
