    Sneaky and Meteos Announce they will be Co-Streaming LCS Together

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:27 PM PDT

    https://twitter.com/Sneaky/status/1289642732051259392?s=20

    https://twitter.com/MeteosLoL/status/1289642723876589568?s=20

    Sneaky and Meteos both posted a really funny gif to their respective twitter accounts showing that they will both be co-streaming the LCS commentating together but they will both be streaming it on their twitch channel.

    I am incredibly excited for this because they both have hilarious synergy with each other while also both being really analytical about the game.

    Surrender vote should be enabled at 20 regardless of previous votes

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:59 AM PDT

    It's kinda annoying that the surrender at 15 vote has a 3 minute timer. So if you call a vote at 15 and it fails, then the next vote is at 18 and the next is at 21.

    There are plenty of games where your team is getting stomped but someone refuses to FF at 15. Just reset the timer at 20 so if someone fails a 4-1 vote at 18-20 minutes you can just ff at 20

    In September, three years will pass since "sort by" feature was added to champion select and also three years since it's been completely useless

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:26 AM PDT

    The feature that was supposed to make lives of all mains easier, by making it possible to sort champions by favorites (which you can pick in champion select since 7.19 patch) and by mastery points, is basically useless since it's release, for the very simple reason – it doesn't remember your settings, meaning everytime you enter champion select you have to change "sort by name" (which is default) to "sort by favorite/mastery points," meaning it's much faster to just type 2 letters of your pick's name.

    Is Garen an assassin now?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 11:02 PM PDT

    I remember about 4 years ago when people built full tank on Garen, and just tanked a whole fucking team.

    Its now 2020 and Garen is one shotting my ADC with a Season 7 Master Yi build.

    So is Tank Garen still viable?

    I reached gold on my first season ever, playing ADC; Thoughts of the game from a newish player

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 06:18 AM PDT

    (In case anyone is bored enough to look, https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=sh%C3%ABik4 )

    I've been playing online games since I was a kid, starting about 15 years ago. I reached high PvP ranks in WoW (+2300 in 2v2 and 3v3) and Overwatch (played every role, reached diamond several seasons), but never got into MOBAs (tried DOTA a few years ago, didn't like it). But during Worlds 2019 I got curious and started watching the matches.

    Although I didn't understand much, the casting was great and I got into it. I then started playing LoL, and really got into it during the quarantine.

    At first I mostly played ARAMs, because I didn't know the champs and people were less toxic when trying to learn them than in Summoner's Rift. Then I moved to normals and finally ranked. What I learned:

    1. LoL is VERY unwelcoming to new players. Both the player base and the game itself. People don't seem to understand that you're learning and will flame you the first opportunity they get. Doesn't matter if the account is new, they will. And it doesn't even matter if you're actually doing good (I've been flamed and got an S+ afterwards). Now add the fact that you can't test the champs, even in practice tool, and you're in for a bad time.
    2. I think part of the reason this game has such high levels of toxicity is the amount of "downtime" there is. When you're waiting for respawn, when you're going to lane, or moving around the map, there's always a chance to write and flame. EUW even has the language problem: Maybe english filters do a good job at banning people for profanity, but I've read really terrible stuff on other languages and I know for a fact they didn't get ban.
    3. On the bright side, there's A LOT of useful videos and websites on the internet, free of charge. Maybe it's a high ELO thing, but I don't know why people pay certain websites to access data, because there's already tons of information/analysis for free. I remember playing WoW back in 2008 and you had to test for yourself or dig deep to find good sources of information. Nowadays with twitch, you can tune in to watch a pro-player explain what they are doing and why they are doing it.

    Now, about the game and especially the ADC role, since I've seen a lot of complains on this subreddit.

    1. I chose ADC because I always liked ranged mechanics, such as kiting. But to be honest, with the amount of dashes/gap closers LoL has, it's not as satisfying to play as I thought. Still, I liked the champs, so I kept playing.
    2. I understand how difficult it is to balance ADCs for both soloq and proplay. Playing ADC in soloq mostly sucks. If you get a bad support, you're screwed. And despite being only 25% (1 ADC+1Supp vs 1ADC+1Supp) of the botlane, I get 100% of the blame. Moreover, if you fall behind, you are useless in midgame. A support still has "agency", an ADC has not. But making them more powerful will absolutely screw proplay.
    3. If you do get a good support, you can still get screwed. Maybe they did great during laning phase, but then they absolutely forget about you during midgame, the enemy focuses you and you either can't get into range for the teamfight or die instantly. Or maybe the supp tries his best, but your team just ignores you, and both you and the supp die. For me, a fed ADC was really not scary. It had a lot of damage, but it could be focused and killed. A fed top laner? It hits like a truck and is unkillable.
    4. Even so, I see a lot of ADCs complaining they can't climb due to bad supports/team, which is plain wrong (Again, I'm only gold, but considering that is top 32%, I think there's a high chance that people complaining will have my ELO or lower) You may have a bad supp and lose a game, but it can happen to the other ADC as well. It's the same as AFKs and trolls. The other team has equal chances to have a bad player (actually, lower chances, since you being in your team means only 4 out of 5 people can potentially troll/afk). So not climbing is up to you.
    5. That doesn't mean there's not a lot of problems with matchmaking. There are indeed a lot of soft inters, AFKs, trolls and smurfs. And for a reason I can't understand, the matchmaking puts lvl 30 accounts playing their first placements in Silver 1, and screws the match. I also can't see the logic in promotion series to climb. It's a bad system that will only cause people to tilt. I read that they are replacing it next season, and my only question is why did it take so long.
    6. Finally, I think a lot of people here don't enjoy the game anymore. When was the last time you played normals? Are you only playing to climb?. I definitely felt burned out the first time I reached gold promo. I won the first 2, then lost 2 and got trolled on the last one. Then I just played with auto-pilot and got demoted to silver 3. I didn't enjoy playing; I felt like I was robbed. I had to take a break for a few weeks from the game, then played other champs, trying to enjoy the game, and then climbed again with a better mindset, having the goal not to win, but to improve.

    I don't know if anyone will find this interesting or learn from me, but I wanted to share what I learned. I'm probably going to roleswap next season and learn more about the game, playing other lanes and champs. All in all, it was a fun experience, but I wouldn't recommend LoL for people who haven't played other online games due to the difficulty and toxicity.

    Spirit blossom is so good that nobody complained about Ahri and Yasuo getting another skin

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 05:46 AM PDT

    Every patch Ahri gets one Reddtrs come out their cave to complain for a skin of a champion they never play. Seems the Dating sim keeps the weebs occupied trying to get a fawn girl by "unrobing just enough cause spirits don't use clothes" or itching to be the ham between the brotherly sandwich.

    If they leant their lessons they put a gatcha when they release Ryze next rework and nerf Aphelios once again.

    I'm hesitate to unlock Teemo's lv6 mastery

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:20 AM PDT

    Right now I feel nauseated and my hands are shaking.

    I grew up in a religious family and Ive seen those people who turned their back on God, but who would expect me to become one of them?

    So far I have broken almost all of the commitments in the Bible just by playing Teemo, hell I even bought Beemo skin for the Literally Satan himself just to look cute.

    Oh God, what have I done?

    Mama used to tell me "big cities are full of temptations" for a country boy like me, but I would never expect that I would fallen to a situation like this.

    I just wish may God will forgive the sin I've committed.

    Wunder and Jankos imply that some 'top teams' in the LEC decided not to play on stage

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 07:46 AM PDT

    I think LEC underdog teams are performing well because there is no stage pressure

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:47 PM PDT

    I mean, it looks like it really suits alot of teams who could not perform before. Stage pressure is a thing and Fnatic and G2 a big organisatons without any problems because of it.

    I am looking forward to see how are MAD and Rogue for instance going to perform when stage games come to happen again.
