Thx for the response. As for the score, do you think I will get a better grade if I go 20/4 or 12/1?

Do you recommend buying ravenous hydra on zed for the waveclear? It seems unconventional but I'll substitute it for another item in some of my builds if that is what I need to do for S ranks.

Yeah, and this has a lot to do with wasting time. Instead of waiting 20 seconds in top lane tribrush waiting for a good gank opportunity, use your twenty seconds to take krugs (10 cs, unless ur ivern :P) and then go back top to go for that gank.

If only braindead retards want autofill, and it only cuts queue times at diamond+, does that mean diamond+ players are braindead retards?

Completely agree. Also, riposte is not hard at all to bait out. Think about natural aspects of your champions damage combo where fiora might try to W, but then instead do something unpredictable when she does riposte. For example, if I'm playing riven, I'm going to auto q auto q, and the fiora is more than likely to riposte because after two q's is the natural break in the combo where riven casts W or third Q.

I don't think he needs a buff, he has a 53% win rate. A rework would be nice though, because of his 1% pick rate. His kit is very linear, and players may find skarner a boring champion because the only rewarding part of his kit that requires skill is his stun (e). If riot plans to rework more tanks in the future, I think skarner is actually a very likely candidate. Keep your fingers crossed.

I've been interested in starting ranked 3v3's but I'm not familiar with the meta or how to play the map, could anyone give me some tips?

Wins is to league as money is to life. The more wins you have, the higher rank you are. The more money you have, the higher you rank in the social hierarchy. Probably a bad analogy because there are some people who don't care about rank, but whatever. As far as I know, no one knows the precise formula for getting an S. If someone asked me how to get an S, I could tell them to "play well" and it would make no difference if I shared your five tips with them.

I think people say jungle has been the strongest and most impactful role because everything can be blamed on the jungler. You have lag problems? Must have been the junglers fault. You were taking a sip of water and accidently misclicked and got yourself killed? Junglers fault. However, in all seriousness, the reason why junglers can be blamed for almost everything is because the jungler is supposed to be all over the map; so let me offer an example. Say your top laner was killed and you were farming raptors, and your krugs were up. If you took the krugs instead, you could've briefly interrupted your clear to assist your top laner, and prevent a potential death. After all, it is true that the better jungler usually wins.

I really hope it has occurred to you why your post has received so many downvotes. You're essentially telling people to act like a greedy bitch, but at the end of the day there really is no value to those mastery seven emotes except much more satisfying way to BM people. People care more about LP and rank, and in hindsight, it was a bad decision of mine to grind mastery 7's in normals for the past 6 months.

A chogath with 20+ stacks, cinderhulk (for the bonus hp multiplier), and courage of the colossus (which gives percent health shield), is going to be tankier than full build zac. I think you're forgetting that chogath does not need items to have a lot of health, which gives cho a lot of room to build resistances. Give cho spirit visage and warmogs, and the health restoration problem is solved. In case you missed my point, I said cho has the potential to be tankier than zac.

The first point is really fucking obvious, of course you need kills for those S ranks, don't even bother saying. Not sure about the second point, on lolsumo you are assigned a grade for the amount of wards you place, so I would assume it counts toward grades. Third point: The further ahead you are in kills, the more farm you're going to get. It is an inherent pattern that applies in almost every situation unless you are playing something like top lane shen into trynd. You will be looking for opportunities to use your ult, while trynd consistently pushes waves under your turret. However, I have to wholeheartedly agree with this point because that's how I got kha'zix mastery 7; just abandon my team if we're not engaged in a teamfight, buy a ravenous hydra, and farm like a madman. Fourth point: I don't think turret participation is counted toward S ranks. Even if they are, it's really difficult to take a turret completely uncontested. And turrets are not meaningless; they give global gold and each one you take is one step closer to the enemy nexus. The fifth point kind of goes hand-in-hand with the first point. I guess all I have to really say is that all of your tips on getting S ranks are extremely conditional and often unreliable. Dropping a ward for no reason when your ward could have been placed in the enemy jungle and saving an ally from getting caught out can have a detrimental effect on the game. Killing your laner in lane a lot is like telling me to smoke weed at 14 years old; I could do it if I wanted, but of course not every 14 year old smokes weed. My point is, you won't crush your lane every single game, and even in the games where you win lane, you're probably haven't solo killed them 5 times or something rediculous. Preserving your KDA is also analogous to the situation I previously presented. Not every 14 year old smokes weed, and not every game is perfect. Taking turrets is obviously very beneficial, but the way you presented this point made it seem like you are trying to belittle the value of turrets. And, if you're taking turrets and constantly afk farming, you probably aren't going to be killing people a lot. That being said, your tips have a tendency of contradicting themselves, because if you're taking an uncontested turret, there's probably no one to kill right? This took 15 minutes to write. I spend more effort on these posts than I did on essays when I was still a high-schooler XD

Any tank gets shredded with bork and armor pen pretty fast, even zac. My point is that chogath has the potential to be tankier than zac.

Chogath with a fuck ton of stacks.

That's the way the game works. If late game teamfights weren't this impactful, we would be regularly having 1-2 hour games probably.

I think what the OP is saying is that ppl think kassadin is OP, and he must be nerfed, which really doesn't make sense because ahri has had such a high pick and win rate but she hasn't received any nerfs. However, I do agree that kassadin has the weakest early game of all mid laners.

Right clicking with the occasional pressing of the "r" and the "q" key is actually extremely mind-blowingly difficult. It took years of practice for me to perfect my master yi skills. I went into practice mode for like three hours for the past few months working on hovering my mouse on a target dummy while jitter clicking my mouse.

You're misunderstanding the usage of the word viable. Viable, in this context, implies that a champion is capable of being used to decent effect in the current meta. The fact that you played a good game obviously makes the implication that shaco is a viable champion. I don't understand how you can say that you played a good game as shaco and then say he's unplayable with his new changes. I don't think shaco has been completely gutted yet. Pants are dragon plays shaco pretty well with a triforce titanic hydra build. The changes to shaco encourage this aa reliant tank build. I think you should give it a shot. And yeah, fuck ahri. Completely with you on this one.

You're supposed to play around his ult, and don't try to fight post six. Pre 6, try not to trade too much to avoid a dive once he gets his ult. It's true that tryndamere deals a disgusting amount of damage after he gets items such as his stattik shiv, infinity edge, and phantom dancer. However, I see tryndamere as more of a split pusher than a duelist, and in order for him to get those items as soon as possible, he needs to have a successful laning phase.

I have a 44% win rate but I've climbed two divisions.

Queuing with friends automatically increases the IP you earn after the game, which scales with the # of friends you queued with.

You get 1 reroll per 250 points, can store up to 500 (2 rerolls) You get after every aram you complete: 30 points + (1 x # of champs owned) If you have twenty champs you get 50 points per game, you get 1 reroll every 5 games. I just got 70 champs, so that's 100 points per game, 2 rerolls every 5 games...

I completely agree with this. Furthermore, the autofill feature encourages trolls who did not get one of their desired postions to type in chat "mid or feed." I'm sure everyone out there would be willing to wait an extra minute or two in queue in order to have troll-free games.

Yea, and how can you not have fun playing donger?

I looked up what you wrote because I knew there had to be a parody. I mean come on, heimer is the easiest champ to make a meme out of in the game.

That was "log in just to upvote" worthy You need to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40MKd6d_hoQ

Good luck in your project. I would have a lot of difficulty displaying such information at an academic conference.

Make sure ur locking in ur bans and ur picks. It counts as a dodge if u dont pick or ban.

I'm having the same problem, trying to purchase moo cow alistar.

I completely agree. I'm still bronze, but as a jungle main, I absolutely hate when I get blamed when my laners lose lane because I never ganked them. For the most part, most of the blame should be attributed to the laner for pushing in and then failure to notice the enemy jungler. As for rage quitting, that's an inevitable aspect of every video game, suck it up and deal with it. Same thing with the third point, you're going to have feeders on your team, and you're going to have to deal with fed enemies. Think about it. If ranked wasn't like this, gaining LP would be too easy.

I downvoted purely to spite you because of the last thing you wrote. But yeah, I agree with this list for the most part. As for yasuo, he has a high skill ceiling, but it can be argued that he has a low skill floor. I mean come on, anyone can click on an enemy champion :P

I'm not trying to play devil's advocate here, but what would happen if a new target entered your drain radius during the channel? Would you heal extra and deal damage to that target, or would nothing happen to the new target?

When I first started playing, I didn't know how to properly build. So whenever I entered the shop, I would just buy some random shit on the recommended page. If I got lucky, I might accidentally buy the items required to build into a legendary item, and I would buy a legendary item. I also always forgot to sell starting items, and there was one point where i didn't even know how to sell. I didn't know the purpose of health pots in lane phase, so I would always pop one even if I took only a little damage. I jungled with tp, and no smite. I healed for the speed boost, not the actual heal. I ghosted and flashed to lane (and heal ^) I never upgraded a trinket once or bought sightstone on supp until I hit level 30. I played champs in random lanes, like garen ADC. I didn't know what AD and AP ratios were (scalings in general) I tried to take turrets without minions. I didn't know that feeding caused others to snowball, so I always had double digit deaths (I played super aggressively)

Not that I know of. I tried this a few months ago too, but I didn't find anything. I completely fucked up my settings in the process too :/ I'll try in practice mode, and this time I'll take a picture of my current settings :P But I think you should just turn off smartcast. Or just adapt and learn not to click to move XD

Pretty sure autofill protection lasts longer than that.

Aren't you a thresh one trick? I talked to you on the boards a long time ago asking the best way to win as a support. Nice to see your smurf is a higher rank than ur main account XD, assuming the account you use on the boards is your main account.

What if you pressed zhonya in the middle of the root? Zhonya's is a pretty common item on fiddle

Try moving and holding down your mouse to move your champion, instead of rapidly clicking at different locations. Next, put your finger on the spell you're trying to cast, but make sure that you're still holding down on right click. Move the mouse, without lifting right click, and you should still see the hitbox and range on the spell that you're trying to cast. Left click on your target or in the target direction to cast the spell. Give it a shot, hope this helps.
