umm are we playing the same game here? The ONLY thing chat is used for in ranked games is to annoy and tilt the enemy players or blame/flame teammates.

The people with this attitude are in platinum and Diamond 4. Most people in gold behave quite well from what I have gathered.

I noticed it too. It is pretty satisfying i work on programming in real life it reminds me of my work {{sticker:slayer-jinx-catface}}

Plat 1 player here I would like to participate

Statistically that happens quite often as akali has low win%. {{champion:92}} is the true abomination in this game. I dont understand why she NEEDS THREE dashes, bonus damage after every ability cast, shield, insta aoe stun, no mana management issues and a damage and range boost as an ultimate as well as a reliable execute skillshot.

I explained why even vayne cannot kill Nasus when you Just said something like "vayne counters Nasus and that's it" I proved that you are wrong. That's it. Nasus is melee with 0 mobility (he has to be VERY CLOSE to land his slow if you let him get close it is YOUR fault as player) vayne is ranged with lots of range AND TRUE DAMAGE as well as dash and invisibility. {{sticker:zombie-brand-facepalm}}. Keep believing that nonsense but i am sorry it is simply wrong. statistics are on my side here as well as research. Nasus is objectively a very easy to play around and predictable champion. L2P issue.

Understand the importance of objectives > champion kills. Warding and getting as many minion last hits as possible are all crucial for climbing. You **have** to pick a carry champion - someone who can take matters into your own hands if your team wont be able to fight of the enemy team well. For me that champion is Pyke (yes as support the way Riot wants us to play him) but there are many other good champions like that such as strong fighter top laners such as jax or kled, assasins (though quite hard to play well at times) or adc champions.

"Blowgunfurry" idk many good names for teemo xd

Also tank items are nerfed and tanks aren't really good right now because bruisers can do everything they can in pretty much better. Absolutely i mean Mordekaiser is like a true copy of Sion only much stronger and capable of destroying the enemy team reliably. Think about it : his q is very similar to sion q slams enemies in front of him for damage except it is instant and does huge damage to single target his w is similar too a huge shield that can also be converted into healing and sion also has a shield on w. E is a pull ability which is better than sion's short range slow but both a linear skillshots. Not to mention the game changung ultimate that allows mordekaiser to 1v2 - trap the weakest enemy first, kill him then use the stats gained from the victim to win a fight against the other enemy as well for an easy 2v1.

Getting s on naitilus is not that bad i agree. In fact him and pyke were my tryhard champions in ranked because of their playmaking potential.

Here is how to counter kled... If he is fed DONT FIGHT HIM WITHOUT BACKUP and save your crowd control for when skarl ditches him. This way he cant get enough skarl courage to remount fast enough. Also you can anticipate and DOGDE bear trap on a rope and always back off when kled enters his stabby stabby 4 combo rage attack (w) which you can easily tell from his unenhanced auto attacks due to the attack animation. Try these things and come back and tell.me what you found...

I gave up on blitzcrank and started playing pyke for good in ranked. why? Because i can reliably cause chaos and remove threats so that my team can win teamfights and secure those key objectives and towers. If you want to prove you are better than your current rank pick a carry worthy champion and get youself out. Don’t expect others to do it for you.

Saying “i am drunk” is basically just a poor attempt to be cute and funny. It is hardly the case in truth.

Nature **never** intended for us to be immortal. I dont believe in magic nor in immortality. We will undoubtly become older though in general over the years. Time has taught us that for sure. I really feel sorry for you downvoter(s) but I am stating a fact. If you suddenly believe the colour of the sky during the day is green does that make it green in truth? - no it is still blue that can’t be changed it is a fact.

Have you tried actually playing him and learning about his limitations?

He is a new champion? does that explain it?

TFT killed the game. It was the very patch where it got released for the first time that started these client errors. They should actually prioritice fixing this not just making new skins. {{sticker:slayer-jinx-unamused}}

The only good thing i will remember this patch by is the fact i just made honor lvl 5. The client crashes in ranked games are such an annoying mess.

The 6th point you mentioned is relatable.

I am pretty sure you get a notification warning when your MMR is low enough to justify demotion across leagues.

This isn't a job though, but i think saying it's just a game isn't fair either considering it's a sport, and normally you don't get banned and ostracized from a community for ''just a game'' if you behave inappropriately, but i think that's partially why flex exists and why it's so ''flexible''. It's just way more comforting to play flex because it relieves pressure, especially if you 5-man it with friends. So, this game does manage to serve (in my opinion) both the casual people just wanting to have fun, and those wanting competition + an experimental/simpler competitive environment. > > What you're asking for is kind of already in the game, in my opinion. If it's not for you, i think a competitive scene was just never meant for you in the first place. Are you saying ranked flex should not be taken seriously? That is very incorrect.

{{champion:350}} {{champion:350}} {{champion:350}} I hate that “thing” “Yo i can tear appart your health bar and immortalize my adc but you can’t do anything to me XD” Really really annoying i ban her and only her.{{sticker:sg-shisa}}

I mean platinum is not a better rank to be stuck in than silver at all. Higher toxicity and pretty much the same game knowledge (or lack thereof) as silver players.

You kill to get gold, pyke shares the gold so it doesn't matter whether you get kills or not. Cho'Gath doesn't share the gold. Veigar doesn't share the gold. I think ur attitude is the stupid thing here. League is a TEAM game. It does not always have to be about you. If a support gets several kills the enemy team gets BEHIND overall which vastly increases your chance of winning the match. You are entitled to every single minion in bottom lane - not champion kills - and if you know how to farm well you should have plenty of gold. I have a feeling you care mostly about KDA and not about objectives.

You wait 2 days. He is removed from the game in patch 9.14

Vi {{champion:254}} her abilities are really easy to use and her ultimate stuns a target and is point and click.

He has NO way of protecting himself from any assasin otherwise.
