I'd rather pick Mr. Robot.

Yes please. Runes seem to add a nice layer of flexibility, that only seasoned veterans can afford. They have enough edge over newcommers by only skill and experience difference. It would be fun to freely experiment with less common runes, and the above suggested prices look sensible, while still acting as an IP sink.

The Revolution is coming! Soon™ we all shall be free of the chains of the malignant corporation! The end of the oppression by the capitalist hoodlums is at hand! Spread the word, Nilthias makes his move Soon™!

This is sexist! And girls can't jungle, that's scientifically proven.

I love Smite. Cool graphics, camera makes it more immersive, nicer people. The voice-system is awesome - it's like pings here, but there you can say like 30-40 lines - on your champ's voice (if you buy it, changes with skins). So you keep listening to conversations like... "I'll gank left lane" "No!" "Enemy ultimate incoming!" "Ok" "Thanks." "Be right back!". I feel it's much harder. In 6 months, I kinda' got to learn to play one god in one role in an OK~ish manner. I learn a -lot- faster here. Ok, back than I had 0 previous moba experience. Also... Match Making is a lot more painful when there isn't a huge playerbase like LoL has. In -any- other moba, you'll see that a popular _"dying"_ one can do a lot better in this regard than those aren't mainstream.

Just keep in mind that KSing, not ganking, not calling SS and generally not playing good enough won't get you punished. Flaming the one who does these and calling for reports is. You can just ignore them. Also.. you could find some buddies who won't flame or care too deeply about how good you are. Doing so improved my LoL experience greatly.

You did report all seven? You are cool. I can only remember more than the loudest 2-3 if I literally take notes. xD

even if I agreed with you, that would still fall into the definition of 'competitive'.

Competition is only possible between individuals, not teams? Soccer fans will be devastated.

I would feel with you... if I could care less about masteries. It's just an uninteresting visual stuff that doesn't make anyone play better.

Just remove the cost of runes - the current system is soo last century. Give flexibility for the ~~recently banned~~ newcommers! I know Rito you want it too! Think of it this way: do you think the community could complain even more? Naw, we only change the subject.

Removing a lane from the equation makes it considerably easier of deciding the everlasting dilemma of _"where to go next?"_. Except if it's coming from mid. Midlane is always in the way. xD Let me add myself to the collection too: The nosurrender guy: _"c'mon guys, we're only 20 kills, 8 towers and 4 drakes behind. And we only have one AFK.

I believe madness isn't just a normal state of the mind, but it's even universal. The symptoms are different from people to people, country to country - but we are all subjects to it. Beliefs, obsessions, ways of coping with the reality, faces we show, masks we wear. People live in their own monomanias. Everyone. Everywhere. Most people are blind to their own madness - they can only see it in others. Good for them. Others have madnesses that help them function. Maintaining a family, earning, getting rich and powerful, exploiting. Even better for them. Those who's madness gets them passive, or even aggressive have a harder time. Those who even see it in themselves tend to wish they didn't. But one can't undo knowledge. One can't purposefully alter how he works. One can only learn to live with it. And one can't be helped in this process. There are things everyone has to get for themselves, it can't be shared. And the process is painful. Wish I could help. But there is no universal cure for the soul. Ultimately, we have to deal with our lives, our problems. Noone can or will help. There are ways, answers and paradigms that might make the process easier. For some. What works for one won't help the other. One has to find his own. But it never hurts to get to know a few. May I suggest one? _Illusions_ by _Richard Bach_. It's a short novel. A simple one, translated to a plethora of languages. It's not the best answer I know. It's just a very accessible one, presenting a paradigm - a way of looking at things. Mildly entertaining too. It helped me when I was young. Want an even better and even shorter one? _Always be more than what you think, say or do. You can't be defined by these things._ That's all. Sorry, I told that the cures aren't universal. It's just my current one. Keep up! You aren't alone. Well, not more so than everyone else. Ooops. Did I only reply to the off-topic part? Well, who cares about a game we play for fun. It does not worth to be upset about. Ragers are silly. xD

An 1/6 Teemo? I had much worse scores than that when trying to do my best. And can't blame someone on that skill-level who decides to mute everyone at the start. At least he had the decency to call your attention on it.

I feel with you. Too bad I could only give rational advice (like: "run"). But that's not what you are here for, and you probably have actual friends who tell you this, so you don't need a random guy from the internet to do the same. And also, when emotions are involved, rationality loses it's validity. I hope you'll find the best solution to your situation. Wishing the best!

What others said. And... I hope you know about the /remake function. Because who doesn't will definitely climb slower. Read about how to use it, because it sounds like it could have helped on the texting Olaf match.

Sounds like the problem is deeper than friendship and toxicity. I could try to give advice (something along the lines of 'get your life together', 'become independent' and 're-evaluate the relation with people close to you'), but I only see a tiny fragment of you, and that's not enough to be objective. Well that, and the fact that I'm just a random guy from the internet. But anyhow, change your passwords. Can't think of any merit of sharing those (FB too? really?), but I can imagine many situations when you'll regret -anyone- but you having access. EDIT: Ok I can't resist. Forgive me in advance. You live with a guy and you are jealous of his gf? That sounds extremely unhealthy from an emotional perspective. Either seduce him asap or end this situation. What you describe sounds bad for all concerned parties.

I'd rather say privatization is a children of corruption. It doesn't breed corruption, it's a byproduct of it.

Dunno... threatening with reports, implying false authority for ingame benefits is a few steps worse in my book than what I usually report people for. Though the system knows this stuff better, afaik we just theorize. It's it's cup of coffee anyways.

Fix your system?

I stopped playing with the guy who got me into mobas for the same reasons. We are great friends, but I don't queue with him to keep it that way. xD

1 - play as best as you can 2 - make a note to report, mute if you feel so, keep #1 in mind 3 - see #2

How about giving more LP to people who win by only use the mouse and never hit a single key during the match? They decided to purposefully ignore a common method that could increase their efficiency. We should respect and honor their decision, as it's clearly an indication of awesome skill.

Strange. I keep reporting abusers, doing my best to play the game instead of ever sinking down to their level. They are keep getting banned, while I yet to receive the lightest warning. Are you sure ~~you~~ the victims handling them the appropriate way? That was a tricky question. If ~~you~~ they got sanctioned, ~~you~~ they don't.

I believe you can undo three champion purchases per season in the shop for yourself.

Yes. I believe not playing as good as you can in any situation is stupid. It matters more for many players than winning.

Are you saying that you reached the peak of you LoL skill? No matter what you do, you will not get any better? Because if you are not that sure of that, playing as best as you can in a losing, or even unfair situation is still good for practicing, or (god forbid) to have fun.

Indeed I was needlessly rude. I could have done a detailed comparison, examining the differences of the two games in detail while looking for similarities that one might overlooked. It would have been a fun exercise, but I would only have done it to induce smiles, maybe a laugh, not to prove a point about LoL. I'm no football expert (_or soccer while we are at it. As Europeans, we are talking about soccer, right?_). I don't know (for example) if players in the back come to the front because the playmaker asks them verbally, see they are needed or just generally skilled enough to know where they should be. Though stadiums are pretty noisy places, so I could argue that professional soccer players are kinda' chat-restricted already. But it wouldn't matter either way, as the two games can't be compared. Those are played by teams and people like to watch matches without participating. Could you point out more relevant similarities? Because we could keep listing relevant differences all day. Lemme grab just a few, for pure fun. - Soccer players only have one goal, no secondary objectives. - Soccer players can't kill the enemy, not even temporarily. They'd get a red card. - Soccer players don't need to ward to have vision of the field. All that can obscure parts of it are other soccer players. - Soccer players don't buy items to get faster or shoot stronger during the course of the match. Not even a single ring that regenerates stamina. - Soccer players generally have the same number of limbs. None of them are significantly more ranged or tankier than the others. That's why I summarized my thoughts about the matter in one word and moved on. > [{quoted}](name=Djhrum,realm=EUW,application-id=NzaqEm3e,discussion-id=Yo7cBbnw,comment-id=00000000,timestamp=2016-07-13T22:14:59.360+0000) > > My examples are just situations I imagined. Compare the game to whatever sports you like, think about how things go compared to LoL and think for yourself if you would stay in such a club. Ahh wait... I thought your point is against muting, not against "staying in that club" at all. You are right. I wouldn't play soccer with ten random guys from all over Europe. I would play with friends, or random people who I got to know and who appreciate my company more than they are annoyed by my shortcomings. Coincidentally, that's exactly what I'm doing in LoL.

That video is a wasted opportunity. It could have been fun.

You just won the thread. I just lost the game.

Try Candy Crush on her. Worked for me - peace since two years. xD

Silliest comparison of ever. I have zero clue what you are trying to say. So I'll just reply to the thread title. xD Pings are more efficient. It's done faster and easier to notice. And you see the pings of muted people too. Though I kinda' never mute people, so I know what tickboxes to tick in the post-match lobby. But I'd encourage muting if the flames bother someone. I counted -zero- cases when a flamer said something constructive in chat after the usual tantrum. And I counted that very accurately.

But I used kappa. Thought it's cooler. Sorry, I'm an amateur troll. But this thread is the devil's already, so lemme continue. xD

than dun' tell 'em for you'll be deported for international feeding xD

u be on euw, you all be perfect english gentleman chaps. u no get joke. we emigrantes and gitanos on Eune talk only babel-tongue xD

Sorry, can you type that again but in English this time? That might be hard for you since you are from EUNE and noone from EUNE can speak English... kappa xD. Ahh well, the guy got me. xD

But offcier! You are keeping Pokemon in here against their will. Are they under prosecution?

I'd blame smurf detection. Though I can't be sure - never been B5 before.

Mehh. Trolls in my time at least -attempted- to be funny.

You make me wonder when was the last time you played with a >lv10 account. It's like bronze 5 when the jungle never ganks, mid never calls SS, bot keeps dying and support takes all the kills. Take a look if you don't believe me.

Get a few nice buddies who doesn't mind playing with a newcomer. There are many. Either make a thread asking for them, or keep an eye out on losing matches to spot players who doesn't rage, give up or similar stuff - even when facing defeat. Those are the guys you'd want on your friendlist. BTW... below level 30 queue is full of the new accounts of the banned people who apparently didn't learn from their bans. It'll get a lot nicer once you reach 30.

Can't say I didn't know what you said as second thoughts. But the noobness is still strong with this one so I somehow kept picking +10% of someone I already do well instead of picking +80% of something I don't. {{item:1409}} , here I come!

Is {{item:1409}} worth it? I usually think along the lines of.. "I don't have enough CC. I have a full ability that has no CC in it. So I pick {{item:1401}}" Perma CC for the win. Or even{{item:1413}}. Challenging Smite reduces damage and gives more damage to me. Every noob knows to build damage. xD

If feel if Riot gave an exact definition for being toxic, toxic people would find ways to express their frustration that somehow falls outside of that definition. And than they could really complain that they got banned for no reason - and they'd be right.

I don't think it's a good idea - mainly for toxicity =/= swearing (or even other keywords). I remember a certain Kha'Zix. His first line in match was "fuck off", indicating that I should leave the first camp to not take his xp. Not that I was dangerously close or anything - was just giving a perfect leash. He had multiple of such outbursts - but never directed towards the team, never when we made mistakes and we could read it as offensive. Was he rude? Yes. But I don't think he was toxic. I'd queue with him any day over guys who go "report xp for feeding".

hru?

Well, I mainly play him in the jungle, but I didn't really have problems in the early game in top matches, so I guess I could share my recipe. {{item:2033}} <- always started with that. Besides mana and health, it also gives some damage, so I pop a charge when trading. I never had mana problems, as by the time potions aren't enough itsleff, I tend to have mana from {{item:3024}}. It feels -everyone- underestimates the range of a minion kicked by E, so I max it first and poke all day. Damage scales with armor so people gets surprized how a tanky melee champ bites that hard from that far. I take W for second, raising it to ~3 in lane, maxing it when the teamfights start. It can soak damage and it can damage well. Try to time it so it can do both - very early that means it can only take 1 dmg skill or 2 autos before it pops, so best to activate it prematurely. If timed well, you'll surely win short early trades, especially if you softened him up with Es before. I love the Q. If there weren't toplaners who know that it's invisible from the bush, I'd always max it first. But many know too well how to avoid it (even if hidden), so I only take 1 level for the knockup / slow. I sometimes raise it a bit if I feel my bubble is strong enough, but I usually max it last. I use 12/0/18 masteries for I want to bite hard. Picking the middle one from the 18 column, as extra health buffs the bubble too. Standard AD+armor+mr runes, though it's more like the lack of funds than being sure it's the best.

I can't care less. It doesn't demolish team morale, doesn't mean the user can't concentrate on the match, doesn't gets my teammates tilted. gg, ez
