: I've played a shitload of support since the preseason drop, and I can safely say I've NEVER noticed the loss of gold from CSing late game. Not the once. More importantly, if what you need is to clear waves, the gold is probably a secondary concern when compared to getting minions off of your tower or out of the way of your own minions.

Keep in mind you also had the gold income from spoils/tribute/coin before. So now you're losing both forms of income.

: Its mostly the stat sets for support itemization. If I'm, let's say Taric, I don't want to waste effective gold on AD or AP. Both are pretty bad investments on him, where he'd rather have pretty much any other stat in the game outside of the obvious lifesteal, crit, AS, etc. Melee supports were basically just removed from bot lane, outside pretty much just pyke.

You think so? Taric used to get the health item, now with the shoulders he gets 300 HP and 30 ap for free. Taric's heal scales well with AP but now you have more gold to buy useful items since you don't have to spend 1400 in the final relic shield. I think adding the AD versions opens up for a lot more melee supports actually, but we'll see.

"I hope this free game fails because I personally find it slow and I can't get the completely optional cosmetic content as cheap or conveniently as I'd like" This thread reflects how ungrateful, spoiled and inconsiderate a surprisingly big portion of the community can be. They don't personally like a game mode or monetization, so they'd rather see it fail for everyone else who enjoys it. If there were no little legends people wouldn't complain, even though they wouldn't even be able to have the option to get anything in the first place.

I really don't want more stuff teammates can say to flame each other "it's lost / you're bad go afk pls". Even if that actually doesn't result in the person going afk, it's going to encourage negative conversations that don't help the game at all. The introduction of ff at 15 had its benefits but it's also a feature for negative people to rage and get angry when one person votes no. My experience is that many people lose a game from giving up early so I'm not a fan of all these "loss mitigations" that favor doing that.

: I had one of those games two days ago. I was nami support. We were 0 vs 11 in the first 10 mins of the game. Their mid, top and jungler were far way ahead. My adc Vayne started panicking and they all pretty much lost hope in the first 10 mins. Urgot and I kept calmly saying farm it up and try play safe, we have a better late game. And in the 15.00 mins mark Vayne got her first double kill. Although they secured 3 drakes and opened our inhibitor, we all kept focused and collective. No one said anything negative in the game. Even the yasou on our team was doing poorly, none of us tried blaming him or blame each other. We all just wanted to win. It was one of the most enjoyable things in the world. That intense feeling of trying your best and not losing hope. We won because we didn't try blaming anyone. We tried to all farm and ward alot. We tried our best and we succeeded because we chose to put our frustration aside and focused on the game.

: I just this minute got out of a game that only re-inforced my disgust at playing stomps. My team was hard feeding to the max. I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say that every single minute of the game someone on my team was dead. At no point past like 20 minutes did we have all 5 players on our team alive at the same time. Even though I won lane hard, I asked them to surrender at 15. The rate at which they were feeding, I knew it was unwinnable. But no. They wanted to play it out. I got uber fed and tried my best to carry despite knowing for sure we would not win. And after 43 fuckin minutes, just what I knew would happen, happened. They fuckin won. I didn't feel happy or glad or anything. I'm cross that they wasted my fuckin time. These garbage ass feeders just won't stop fuckin feeding and refused to surrender. How the fuck is that shit fun?
Sonic Adventure (NA)
in > I had one of the best games of my life last night [Master Elo]
I don't like assuming, but exaggerations like "every single minute someone was dead" or "knowing for sure" only cloud your brain. If you're that convinced that you will lose, you'll end up almost wanting to lose, just so you're right at the end. If you spend the game arguing with your team that they should ff because it's 100% lost, you're right, it's going to be a loss probably, but you're a big factor of it, like it or not. If a game gets to 43 minutes, that basically means that the losing team was able to stop the enemies even after heavy disadvantage, so it's a big indicator for hope. At that point death timers are like over 70 seconds, any team can win and everyone is full build. It's just a matter of one teamfight.

To be honest Yorick deserved as much credit as Ivern. But again you could argue that they both have their big pets. Although I don't agree that just playing Ivern or any champion well is like having one champion more, otherwise it'd be busted and most picked. Each champion can contribute the same in their own way.

: Dude do you know how many of those kinds of games you have to lose before you win one? I've played well over 5000 games since season 5 on multiple accounts and I can only recall winning like 3 or 4 4v5s and I recalling winning no 4v5 where we were behind. Those 4v5s we won, we were massively ahead before it became a 4v5. Of the many vices I have in my life, gambling was never one so you can imagine I would rather move on than stress myself on gamble that has such an extremely low chance of paying off. I absolutely hate games like the one you described and if I were in that game, it would have been 3v5 because I wasn't sticking around for that shit. It's nice that you guys won. Well done. But all it means is that you guys were supremely lucky.
Sonic Adventure (NA)

All I can say is that you'll never get to experience the best that League has to offer. And friendly advice, but if you're only interested in winning games, that means that you're interested in climbing, and you'll never do that giving up easily. If you have to play spend 10 more minutes playing 100 games out only to win 10 of them, that is around 160 LP net for you at the end of the season. I'm not going to develop into it more but that's one advice I'd give after reaching Master. Take it or leave it = )

: While its a cute story and something many players in lower elos should remember (4v5 combacks are definitely possible in low elo) it's pretty sad for this region as a whole. That at a "master" tier level, a team with a 5v4 lead is incapable of using their numbers advantage to win the game. I guess NA really is the 4fun region.

I guess NA really is the 4fun region. Yes it's sad that 5v4 with a huge lead can throw, usually because of bad communication or because even when a team is winning they will spend a lot of time flaming each other for silly things. But you can also see the bottle half full and realize how this can be one of the things to implement in your gaming to stand from the rest even in higher elos.

Second: I'm guessing you're a lot younger than me with how you write; I can definitely empathize with how you feel about toxicity. However, I think your opinion is rooted in your age a bit. Yes. Leaving teammates and ragers who have nothing constructive to say are generally bad for win rates/team performances. But I want to stress: A lot of players take candor WAY TOO SERIOUSLY in this game: I'm often called Toxic purely because I do point out what people are doing wrong, and usually in a blunt "you did this" way. I know people don't like it. But, it's often the most succinct way to say something or steer a team back to trying to win. Sure, they want to report me, but it gets them thinking, "I AM building wrong." "I am taking far too many risks." "I want to prove him wrong." Maybe 1 in 15 of games where I get "toxic" does being so affect my performance. Maybe 3 in 15 does it make my teammates grief and troll because they no longer care. But, about 6 in 15 actually try harder, safer, and smarter to win. People really grasp on to those 4 games where performance was negatively affected by criticism though. They remember those. They don't really remember wins. Win = just another win. Loss = That guy was toxic and our loss was all his fault. In other words, I think as time goes on, and one grows thicker skin, criticism actually does create better results. It doesn't feel good at the time, but it does win more games, as long as it's readily received. But, we're embracing a community statute that thinks it's bad, and fosters this feeling that "feel good" will always create better results. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. (I do think if you're territorial, people should back off after you state that intention, but it's a good world skill to learn to take criticism. Bosses don't use positive reinforcement or a light touch when you do something wrong. Peer groups don't either. They assert their authority). You definitely made the right call to keep playing (I never surrender and never stop trying).

Thanks for taking the time to write a comment, If I seem young from writing is because I had fun as a kid this game, in a good way. (Also because english isn't my first language). I'm actually almost 30. I think I can safely say I have a lot of experience climbing and seeing different results of attitudes and game outcomes. I know what wins more games and it's a good attitude. I believe you've overanalyzed my words a bit. It's pretty clear when something is toxic or constructive criticism. We suggested Jayce to build Black Cleaver and that helped. There are good and bad ways to suggest that, and it'd be silly to be against the good ones. Thanks again,

I barely see any Brand picks in my Diamond 1 / Master games, it's literally all Aftershock Lux and Naut.

: See if your mouse polling rate is set at 1000hz. Might sounds strange but the fps drop might caused by mouse movement. My fps drops 50% when I move my mouse. After setting polling rate 500 it solves the problem. I'm using windows tho but it might worth a try.
