Hello, it is me, returned former diamond player Daunte Vicknabb. I am going to probably try streaming today from my new laptop. I'll be doing it on a Silver 2 smurf I have so if any of you in Bronze/Silver/Gold want to play with me feel free to add me on Honus Swagner and I can get you free Elo*.

*Free Elo offer not guaranteed since I will probably be somewhat goofing off and playing bad champs or champs I am bad at but hey you'll at least have one person on your team who has literally never intentionally AFKed in over three years of playing. E: I cannot guarantee I won't face check Baron.

And yes Galio is considered a LB counter bc his gimmick is building MR and LeBlanc gets owned by the item "Negatron Cloak."

I can understand the people being more raging in ranked, because MY PRECIOUS LP. But why does it feel people in ranked are also much more prone to leaving / DCing? I'm having a bad streak of leaving teammates and it's hard to climb when I have those autoloose games regularely added to my history. Riot should increase the LP loss for the leaver, and decrease for the others who aren't in premade with him. I'm just out of a game where we started to comeback after being rolled all game, great momentum on our side. But nope, our adc disappeared.

I kinda like the league system, but sometimes I really want to just play normals, with people who can actually stay calm after a single mistake and are not playing on satellite connection from antarctica.

Its because riot hypes up ranked all the way from 0-30. You spend 200 hours getting told about ranked and how cool and awesome it is and how much pussy you slay once you get silver 2. Then your support misses a skillshot and your noob jungler is busy getting level 3 never ganking and welp you got Bronze 3. Because the mistakes of others are remembered more than your own and there are 4 others, its not your fault at all. So why not teach these loving scrub cunts a lesson and afk, that'll show em


Literally the mindset of atleast 10% of the oce server cause someone always ragequits every time I queue too.

people who are on tilt get this absurd idea of what a "good game" is and as soon as anything deviates from this they consider the game lost and assume that they just have to keep rolling to get the winning combination that will get them out of elo hell

I am convinced that a ton of players would gain a pretty significant boost in win rate if they'd just be willing to get carried sometimes. So many games I get in full of 6-9 dudes who are convinced they have to individually carry the game and can't win if they're personally behind

my favorite games are when bottom lane is doing bad and the lucian/caitlyn has called the GG at 7 minutes when our other two lanes are so far ahead they're leisurely diving the person they're laning against

You are already dead
People AFK because they are idiot babby. Again, I have played a ton of ranked at nearly every level including experimenting on Bronze accounts and never intentionally left a game (on maybe ten or so occasions I've sat on the fountain after my teammates started intentionally losing but also refusing theory just ff and move on). Everyone tilts, nearly everyone at least back talks the assholes on their team once in a while, but it takes a special sort of dipshit to AFK. I had it happen in four of my last ten games on my main account. One game I won after an enemy rage quit as 0/0/0 Annie mid. The Blitz on my team threatened to throw anyways. The next game the Blitz played Azir on my team and sure enough he AFKed three times while coming back to remind us how little he cared. Literally two consecutive games both decided for better and for worse by things entirely outside of my control.

one time i was having a poo poo game as kog maw cause some rear end in a top hat zed kept flash suicide diving me and killing me every team fight, but the zed was also i think 70% of the teams kills at this point so by transitioning into trading 1 for 1 with me every fight all he did was make me salty and also making his team lose every fight until we easily won the game

being bad at the game and/or playing galio or having a stupid item build. as long as you do not get killed by autos at level 1-2 it should be virtually impossible to lose that lane(you might not be able to do much about lb roaming though)

Still though the burst assassin trading his life for the ADCs every fight sounds like he was doing his job?

Like ideally he wouldn't die but I mean if someone said as my team's Zed hey I'm just gonna die to kill the ADC every fight I'd be like cool man go with god

if someone said as my teams zed hey man i am going to go in 1v5 every fight and get locked down and die after killing the adc i would be like whoa buddy hold your horses we can initiate the fight for you and wait for them to blow cc so that you have a chance of surviving or doing damage to any other target before you die

being ahead and dying to kill their ranged man, if he isnt very far ahead, is not exactly a good use of zed's time. ideally the zed could just go to a sidelane and 1v1 people but such is life in soloqueue.

edit: also people searched for the quote in german and couldn't find it, sounds like it has been falsely attributed to hitler

My least favorite solo Q star is the solo Q "split pusher" who basically just shoves top as hard as he can over and over without wards and when he inevitably gets 3 manned over and over and dies goes "WHY ARENT YOU GUYS PRESSURING ANYTHING" even if you had all just backed or died or weren't able to push fast enough or whatever

Basically the person who doesn't understand that team can't just instantly push a wave to their inhib tower or understand that sometimes people just have to go back to base but just pushes as hard as he can and dies anyway

I feel like most of the time in solo queue when people say "I'm gonna spit" this is what they mean

If someone solo pushes without wards to the extent that they die repeatedly, then that's on them, but the other side of this coin is when the team sit there like lumps even though the opposition has had to peel off 2-3 people to go top or whatever. Like if you unluckily happen to get picked off or need to back just as he's starting his top push, whatever, poo poo happens some of the time, but if someone is consistently split pushing then over the course of the game it's not unreasonable to expect the team to take a majority of the opportunities that this affords for pressure.
