Actually, what you are asking for is more dictatorial than what happened. You are asking for Riot to make an exception on the law that applies to everyone because you think this case should be different.

You can use that option while the new client is in alpha and not optimized. But it won't be that way forever, you will have to get used to the new client. Though it doesn't mean that you will have to play with a laggy client, they'll probably optimize it and it will work just fine.

It's happening the same to me. The legacy client is not opening and the new one is still too laggy for me.

Winning streaks increase your MMR, but it did increase your rank too.

The biggest problem is not French people being really toxic, the problem is that you only realize someone is French when they are toxic, but it happens the same with every single nation. When you find a French in your game who is being a nice person and just playign the game, you probably won't realize he's French, because he'll most likely communicate in English and since he's being nice he won't have the stereotypical question "Are you French?". To be honest, the people I found more toxic were Germans, not all of them, but a group I found once. Does that make every German toxic? No, of course not, since I found very nice Germans too. But if you look at the big picture without preconceptions, you'll realize that there are flamers from every country.

I don't think it records the place where you ward, but if you just spam your wards in unnecesary places, you're going to lack vision, thus making your game harder and probably giving you problems with ambushes and with unseen ganks. So yeah, go place all your wards in stupid places, you just have 3/4 per back, and you can't be backing even 5 seconds, in the end it will make you die more, get less kills/assists and it will be counterproductive with your "higher" warding. So yeah I still think it's fair the way it is. Warding is not just warding for the sake of doing it, it is a really useful mechanic in the game, and if you do it wrong, you'll get punished.

It is, it is fair, the actual difference I've seen to separete good from bad supports (most of them, not every champions fit) is his/her ability to snowball the game early on. If you manage to set your adc ahead, then help your midlaner with a gank (doesn't even need to get a kill), roam with your jungler top after you backed to get that top tower early on and help your toplaner, etc. You will end with a very nice score, since you're getting early money to all your team, which makes them stronger, which usually ends in you not dying. It depends on every support, of course, but in most of the cases, when a support can influence the most in a game is in the early game, roaming and getting ahead every single lane (this is not possible in every game nor with every champion, but in most of the cases it is). And usually if you ward a lot, you usually do it because you know what you have to ward and what not, I've never seen someone warding a lot and warding poorly, those two terms are usually not together.

As a support main who gets S on a regular basis with almost every support champ I play, I can give you some advices that I think I've noticed influencied on my mark the most: -Deaths, the more you die, the less likely to get an S, this sounds logical, but it is more drastic than it looks at support. I think I've never get an S on a game where I died more than 3 times, even if the score was 5/3/20, I don't. -Kill participation and objective participation, it's not enough to be near the objective, you need to be registered as assisting on taking it. -Vision, you need to ward, a lot, 13 wards (it takes trinkets into account) in a 29 minutes games is a very small amount, you just have to check that you warded the same as your adc (while you had a sighstone). -Extra point here, pinks, you bought 2 pinks in 29 minutes against Evelynn, that should not happen, not just to get an S, but in general. People really undervalue pink wards, while they're really really strong, and every support should buy 1 or 2 pinks every back, and depending on the game and the trinkets of your teammates, you should save an slot for pink wards even if you already ahve 5 items and gold for another one. (For example against stealth champions like Vayne, Evelynn, Shaco, Rengar, etc.) -(Take some kills, it actually helps a lot with some supports, 1 or 2 kills every 15 assists usually makes me get higher marks, but don't tell your adc I made you do it). In general, just improving in the role and with the champions helps a lot, watching at your match history, I really recommend you to try to get used to buy 1 or 2 pinks every back, pinking every neutral objective you are taking is a very good habit.

Bots have been buying removed items for a long time, it's not something new or just related to boot enchantments. And there have been multiples reports or this and I'm pretty sure Riot is aware, but doesn't care, or at least that's what it looks like.

You have Morgana twice in Disengage.

There is not a number of loses, you'll decay when your MMR is no longer in Gold but in Silver I (or lower).

It's your responsabilñity to have a reliable internet connection. I've lost several games in promos to due to that, and it was my fault to play when it as not stable. On the good side just keep in mind that the next time you enter in promos you'll have a free win, so it'll be easier to win it.

He leveled his E at level 6, he was just as tilted as his team.

EUNE and EUW are together.

Unless you're like me, I pick Support/Fill, and I have days where I can't play Supp.

Why? It would be kind of the same, you half everything. Energy pool, energy regen and energy costs. It's just as weird as it is, but whithout making energy related runes less valuable on him.

Jensen was permabanned just like tyler1 was. He was later given 1 account to prove that he has improved. How much he improved or he hasn't, I don't know. About Hai and Meteos, I haven't seen their streams ever, but I've seen them several times in other streams, and as far as I noticed, if they've had negative atittudes, like a lot of players do sometimes, they've never reached the level of toxicity of tyler1. He has recognaised that he was seeing it coming, he's self called himself as the most toxic NA player, and to be honest I ahven't seen a lot of people that negative and troll in that elo in any stream.

You can just wait to cs with a normal auto damage instead of counting W damage, it's not like it's impossible for you to get it.

Theve had mastery levels 6 and 7 on the client for months, I don't know what they're waiting to use them.

But you could half their energy regen. I found it very odd to when I realize he has 400 energy. And this way you are making energy regen runes on him less useful than in anyone else, which seems unfair, although they're not very used. xD

> Because those are ex pro players and still have ties in the ol' Riot world. Or they are currently pro-players. They are not ex pro players with ties to Riot, and they're not currently pro-players. And we definitively have recent cases about pro players being banned due to their behaviour: http://www.dailydot.com/esports/league-of-legends-styz-lpl-lgd/ What have I missed?

Well, you can half the costs too, what he means is that everyone had the same energy pool until now...

Chnging for... 20 days? doesn't make up for years and years of misbehaviour.

I've always hear that ad mids are in a bad spot, and every time I read a post like this I just check ad midlaners winrate at champion.gg Pantheon: 53.7 % (Ok, this one surprised me a lot xD). Quinn: 52.2% Talon: 52.1% Gangplank: 51.2% Yasuo: 50.6% Jayce: 50.3% Zed: 49.8% Varus: 49.6% "Corki": 47.7% Corki is the only one with a bad winrate, and although his kind of an ad mid, he's not exactly a physical damage dealer midlaner. Everyone else considered as ad mid has a pretty decent winrate, just 2 of the cahmpions lower than 50% winrate and both of them with less than 0.5% less. Ad midlaners are in a good spot, they might not be god tier right now, but they're far from bad. And even though midlane reworks will probably hurt them a bit, that's not a 100% sure, since it might bring back some champions that they counter, making them even stronger, because right now highest midlane winrates are from anti-assasin champions, Zilean, Kayle, Galio (not exactly against ad's but...)., Malzahar, etc.

Nor Boxox nor trick2g have ever been pros. Boxbox was sub on a team for 4 months, but I don't think he even played. And phant0mlord hasn't played profesionally since 2012.

If I'm fully aware of what happend, Krepo was accused of having sex with a minor, which probably happened in the Netherlands or Germany, and in both countries it's legal to have sex with minors over a certain ages (can't remember which one exactly) as long a if it consent. But since what Gross Gore said affected negatively to Krepo's public image since he implayed that he's done something illegal, all he has to prove is that the other person was over that age and it was consensual. About those people, I'm also against that, but what you have to understand is that Tyler1's behaviours are and should be punished harder the higher the elo is, specially in Challenger/Master, since that level is supposed to be more competitive. Anyone, anyone gets punished in any elo, but it's normal that people in higher elo get spotted earlier and it's more important to show to punish since it affects the game also in a competitive way. Riot banned him because he broke Riot ToU, several times, over and over again without improving in his behaviour. Being a streamer and a higher elo player that makes him easier to target since you can easily recognise their accounts. Although it doesn't really matter what triggered the ban, what he did was wrong, and what he got is deserved.

It was a long time ago so I won't bother digging into the match history, but we've got fist blooded around 2:00, and in the next 5 seconds everyone managed to die, getting aced right before the first minion wave died enterly. 4 of us died again and we lost 3 towers in 5 minutes, after that, party bot with 2 tp's in our favor and none in their team, we've got aced 5v3 again and managed to even lose 1 more turret in every lane and inhib turret in bot before the 10 minute mark. We've lost the game at 17 minutes with every single turret down and actually trying to win (no one quitted nor afk'ed in base to let them win). We've got stomped as hard that it still hurts me today xD The good part was how the enemy team didn't laugh at us and were pretty humble about the stomp, and anyone on my team flamed nor said anything negative, we've just assumed the loss and carried on.

I'm not a lot into that kind of things, but what Gross Gore did is actually against the law and a pretty big issue that people should not take just as a joke, it's called difamation, and it's not something people should try to justify. And about Tyler1. He's been toxic for years, he's been toxic towards a huge audience and encouraging that type of behaviour in a lot of players, and that's something that Riot is openly fighting against. He deserved his ban 100%, and you can't excuse years of trolling/flaming/int feeding with "He's trying to improve but people know him and tries to trigger him". Now it's too late for that.

You need to be there when the 20 minutes end and accept the queue, otherwise the time starts again.

Just try to have it in mind, you'll get used to it and it will help you when hitting some importants abilities and to no tbe surprised by them.

Actually, that's probably intended. Although it seems unclear, champions hitboxes are bigger than minions hitboxes. This makes that sometimes, while you are standing behind a minion, your hitbox is further away than the minion hitbox. So when Blitz or any other skillshot is aimed towards you, it hits your hitbox before than the minion hitbox, even though the minion is visually between you and Blitz.

You have to assume that any 3rd party program is illegal unless Riot has stated that they allow them and people can use it. I'm sorry, but you probably won't get it back.

Spanish/Spaniard here! I've been several times in the UK and Ireland and I've been called Spaniard in an offensive way. I didn't really understand that it was meant to be offesnive until someone explained to me, that they (at least in that group of people) used the word "Spaniard" as a way to say "stupid Spanish" or something similar. I though this was something that was not common, since Spaniard doesn't have that definition in any dictionary. But after consulting several English teachers here in Spain, some of them told me that in some places the word Spaniard has taken an offensive connotation amongst some young people. Anyway, I'm with you that most of Spanish people are usually pretty toxic unfortunately. By the way, you can check that there is a discussion about the word Spaniard writing "Is Spaniard" in Google. The first options to show up are "offensive", "pejorative", "despective", and things like that.

Spanish people or spaniards are the habitants from Spain. Galician, Catalan, Basques, Andalucians, etc. are the nationalities/cultures inside the country.

You don't need an S to get keys, and you can get keys in ARAM 100% sure and I belive you can get them on TT too. What you said is about chests.

The chance to get key fragments gets lower the mroe you get, since it increases inderectly with the keys you've already got. Though it refreshes every 30 days, so once you got it refreshed, you will get keys more often.

That makes sense, my bad on that, wasn't thinking clearly.

Those pages try to estimate your MMR, but they don't do a very good job to be honest. They usually show an average account of your leage MMR influenced by the people you play with. I've had changes that big too without playing or just after one game.

Actual MMR doesn't decay by not playing. The number that you get from third pages is not a real number but a estimation.

The LP gain depends also on your team and the enemy team MMR. Maybe the first game your team had a lower MMR than the enemy team, this made the system think that you should have lost, and thus rewarding you with more LP, and the second game your team had a higher MMR which the system interpretates as your team should win, and thus giving you a lower amount of LP.

All your placements where games with people from Bronze V to Silver V. Scoring 7/3 against mostly Bronze III and II people doesn't make you deserv Gold V at all.

One thing that doesn't make sense is that is easier to get a higher placement with a new account that with an account that has already been played other seasons. I've got placed in Silver I from Plat V, and I've got placed in Gold II with a fresh new account.

It's not the amount of wins you achieve, it's the MMR you have what decides where you're placed.

Riot said it wasn't, then is suddenly became bannable, and I've no idea how it is right now, but I would not use it since people got banned from using it.

Never. They removed it "forever", at least that is their intention.

As someone who climbed from Bronze to Plat at the end of the last preseason and is sitting now at Gold I with 2 accounts playing only supp, you can climb easily as support. You just have to learn about the game and become the leader of your team, doing good calls is so much valuable than anything else at lower elos, since most people from Gold and below don't know when to do things. Another good thing to do is trying to stick to strong and easy supports. As someone who played TK a lot, I can say that he's very very weak right now, almost trash tier unless you have a god tier adc you can save from strong focus and then let him carry you. Bard is fine if you are half good with skillshots and positioning. And Thresh can be good but most of the Thresh I see at these levels are not that great, me included, since he's one of the most mechanical supports and very skillshot reliant. Increasing your pool with other kind of supports, specially strong ones such as Janna, Soraka or Braum to say some would probably help you.

Don't think you can't, I'm myself a Gold player and I've leveling a smurf recently, my last games at level 28/29 were all against high Plat and low Dia players with some random low level guys, but mostly DIa/Plat.

My main account where I just play 3 to 5 men premade: Gold I Smurf account where I play Solo: Gold I Almost no differences at all, the only true difference would be if you are at a really really high elo.

This. And if the person has a shield and the damage didn't break it, you don't stop the back since you haven't really damaged them. Same way you don't get an assist by hitting someone with a shield if you don't damage his actual health.
