I was just watching PhantomL0rd's stream. He is in Diamond I with 99LP. Just dominated a game, gets the surrender victory and for that win he received a whopping ZERO LP. That is fucking bullshit. I realize they want to make it tough to advance in the higher levels, but the fact that it is possible to win and get nothing for it is ridiculous.
Yeah, they're are making people fucking earn their life. They want the best of the best in those top tiers. Shit is serious. There are so many spots and they have to maintain it.
I like Phantomlord's stream. His Ziggs is awesome. I also like this: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFQ8ESCHlDE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFQ8ESCHlDE</a>
Someone donated like 200 or 300 dollars to his stream and Phantomlord got super emotional and started crying. He relates a bunch of his experiences playing as a pro on the LoL circuit and getting shunned from some team. He gets completely overwhelmed and someone else donates 1000 bucks and he just loses it.
Oh. I'd cry too if someone just handed me 1200 for playing crack. That sounds awesome. Now if I could get out of Wood League, that'd be great. I've determined I need to go back home. Cassiopeia, Pantheon, Tristana, and Sona. I need to play with those champs in ranked to get shit done.
So tonight was my last night on LoL. I wish I could gift stuff I've already bought to other people but sadly I can't. The whole set up of this game is the absolute worst I've ever seen in an online multi-player game and it's just not worth the time or effort to play. Perhaps if they make some changes in Season 4 that rework the LP system or they actually make a significant effort to deal with toxic players, I'll come back to play.
Sorry to see you go man. I believe you'll be back though. I think you can sell your account somewhere. Don't see why not. What broke you?
There isn't just one thing that got under my skin, but the last 2 days were the tipping point. Getting into 3 series matches to get into Bronze 4 and finally being able to win the last one was a highlight. Ripping off 5 straight wins once I advanced. Awesome. Gaining 6-9 LP for those 5 wins, I finally thought I was going to start seeing realistic win/loss LP numbers. First loss after that 5 game win streak, -32LP. I went from spending 5 games gaining into bronze 4 going all the way back to zero. Won my next game for +4LP. Lost the next two and lo and behold, demoted back to Bronze 5 and I had to make the climb back up starting at 67 LP. In this series of games, I spent roughly 3 hours of my time winning games and saw that wiped out in 30 minutes. It's not like I'm trying to get into the professional leagues either. This is trying to advance in the second to lowest station. It shouldn't be that broken to move up a level. The next thing is the amount of bugs and little things I've noticed while playing. The damage outputs are wildly inconsistent at times. Turret reach is wildly inconsistent as to who it selects to hit and at what range. I'll get a random +AD bonus while having no AD items or any other type of buff. I sometimes get XP if I'm dead and have my screen watching another lane that is killing minions. Overall, they do a shit job with all aspects of the game mechanics. The real last straw happened last night as I was in my final series game which would have again put me into Bronze 4. We were crushing when all of a sudden our top champ decided someone hurt his feelings when they asked for him to stop split pushing and group up. He goes AFK and spends the next 20 minutes of the match watching us slowly lose while raining down hate. We end up losing and I'm back to 63LP in Bronze 5. Nothing will be done to that kid. I've judged a lot of tribunal cases and you have to have a lot of complaints in a certain time frame to even get on their radar, and unless you use racial or homophobic slurs, the punishment is 9/10 just a warning. The whole system is just one big joke, which in turn makes the game one big joke.
Well I downloaded the Mac beta, and can't seem to log in. I've reset and confirmed my password 5 times, and it still won't let me log in. Anyone else have this problem?
Uninstall it and try again, also make sure you don't have any firewalls up. It just won't log in. Sometimes the client doesn't download everything perfectly. Well Death Is A Door, I haven't felt the glitches like you have. There are items that impact AD/AP via aura like Stark's Banner or Ignite being on cooldown. That choke system is a fucking pain though. The problem is you've been in Bronze 5 too long, so the system thinks you belong there. They're trying to discourage people from giving their account to better players to play out. Hence why I'm choked. But you're right, the most frustrating thing about this community is how shitty people are and how nothing happens. Riot likes to write it off as "Oh they just had one bad day." But with millions of people, you can run into someone's bad day everyday. Just because I like playing with you, I'm going to throw out starting another account, blowing through the low levels, and qualifying with a higher tier for ranked.
Also, if you want to let me "borrow" your account for a few weeks, I am pretty confident I can play you into silver. If you're going to away from the game anyway, you might enjoy it more when you return at silver V. Although, I'm in Gold V and still get idiots who troll and afk constantly.
Riot had one post saying they were looking for ways to catch people that loaned their accounts out for ranking, but I honestly think they were bullshitting. They haven't said anything since. I wonder if you get a choke on from Bronze, somehow power through, to Silver if that choke is still there. I'm currently in this hell where I'm winning/losing anywhere from 3-11 LP. Which maybe is how it should be the entire time now that I think about it. Lost a completely frustrating game where our bot just fucking fed, blamed jungler for not ganking went 40 minutes long. I went Cass vs. Kass was doing fine. Their top was MF. Then boom -3LP. What a fucking sigh of relief that was.
I'm buying him immediately, with IP of course. No way am I NOT going to get the only clear black champion in LoL. I will definitely suck with him, but I don't care. A black man, will play a black champ and dominate. I cannot wait to report all the people who call him/me the N word.
Nidalee isn't black. She's a tan white or latin American. Karma is definitely Indian. Poppy isn't black. She's a blue Yordle. I'm talking straight "human' black.
Yeah, I'm on a reporting spree. For once I think Riot released a champ that was underpowered. Lucian does not feel like he's ever bringing the light to foes. I never feel like I'm pulling off anything awesome. I always feel like I have to get EVERYTHING just right. And since I suck at ADC, that's never possible.
