League of Legends: The New Thread

[PJ.]

Congrats. We play on the ms discord a lot, for people on NA

[D3f3nd3r]

I decided to get into this a few months ago. I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and I constantly make terrible plays, but I'm having fun at least. Map awareness is proving to be really difficult to get used to as a concept.

Got to Silver earlier today

mood (but without the Actually Hitting Silver part)

i’m unsure if this is the thread for it, but a few of us have started up a teamfight tactics group lately and would be happy to invite more people to play with us! we also play league every once in a while too. c:

it’s on na, but for tft ping doesn’t matter much if anyone wanted to make an account to play!! we’re also happy to teach anyone who wants to start playing. so yeah if anyone’s interested pm me and i can shoot you an invite!

[SleepyKrew]

Who's we? TFT has gotten popular in the official ms discord lately too

[xRECKONERx]

yeah the TFT video games channels have essentially become the TFT channels for about two weeks now

have not tried TFT at all yet, have been interested in trying it tho

To tell the truth, when I tried it, I felt like I have no idea what I'm doing. Firstly It was complicated for me to get used to it as a concept. Indeed, it is an exciting game with different possibilities. I even decided to play it with the help of different heroes, but I needed another account to create it. So, I searched on the internet, and I found where to order a simple one https://www.lolfinity.com/. It would be really very interesting to learn to play all of them at once. Honestly, the more I play, the more I want to pass levels and other heroes

[PJ.]

I'd be down to teach whomever in the discord.

[Angel3]

I just looked at LoL, doubt I'll have the gumption to play again. But they really have made some interesting new characters. I like the giant scissor the new champion has, it's design is so nice.
How do y'all manage with all the changes? It looks like the game is completely different from when I first played it.

[Psyche]

change is good keeps from boring

[Angel3]

Definitely can't argue with that, just means I have a lot to learn if I ever wanna play again. It's like a brand new game~

[notscience]

At its core the concepts are the same

Melee play safe v ranged early

Level 2 all ins
Level 3 all ins

Death, taxes, AD Mid will int

[notscience]

I’m going to be playing some games tonight if anyone wants in

Angie yonaga is my ign, I’ll be on around 9 est

So I just had one of the wildest Ranked games of my life.

I'm Iron (admittedly, high Iron, Iron I with an average LP of ~50, so I legit think that if I pushed hard enough I could maybe reach Bronze), but the queue was 13 minutes long--so what did the client do?

It put me in a lobby exclusively full of Silver (with some Bronze) players. (Average tier was Bronze 1, a full rank above mine.)

I am an Ashe onetrick.

The enemy team picked Ashe away from me.

Our jungler wanted to be mid, but didn't get the swap desired.
Our support player thought

they

were the midlaner, so they didn't pick a support champion or item (Kalista).
I was playing Zeri.

Our toplaner abandoned midlane to go bot, but also didn't pick up a support item. (None of us did.)

So we had no real toplaner.
We had only a so-so jungler.
We had no botlaner.
We had no support.

I literally made up a build as I was going along for Zeri (Eclipse->Phantom Dancer->Ravenous Hydra with Boots of Swiftness), so it shouldn't have worked because it was neither the crit build nor the onhit/bruiser build (my runes probably weren't right, either; LT + tenacity + cut down + demolish + overgrowth).

We even went down 3 inhibitors near the end, and the enemy team got baron a couple times, maybe even three times, and were on dragon soul point repeatedly.

We had absolutely no right winning that game. We had no wards because of no support, we had no real adc because I wasn't on Ashe and I had no support during my laning phase so I was literally the last player in the game to hit level 18, never got a fourth item, and my opponent was full build like half way through the game (their Ashe even topped the damage charts for the game), I literally went 0/13 the entire game without a single kill to my name.

By all rights, we had no right winning that.
They had soul point, they got both rift heralds, they had all three of our inhibitors down, they got baron, I was never a real champion in the game and none of our players were really doing well. The best-performing player on our team (our midlaner) even died at one point, which should've spelt the death of us, especially with only 2 members of our team alive to their 3 or 4.

...And yet, somehow.

SOMEHOW.

We managed to win.

[mastina]

So I was dealing with endless constant frustration with trying to grind out the current Star Guardian event.

It was honestly destroying my life and crushing my soul.

I was giving up on doing other things that I wanted to do, just to try and get it grinded out.

But it was impossible.

The main story was progressing okay, but the character quests just...couldn't go up enough.

I was hating myself for putting time into a failed effort, but hating myself for the effort failing. Thinking if I put in even

more

time in spite of devoting way way way way too much free time into it, that SOMEHOW I would actually manage to 100% the free content, and yet also just wanting to just...give up, being disheartened at the impossibility of getting to level 3 for all the characters.

Slow progression, bot counts not counted, playing countless hundreds of games over countless thousands of hours, and it was just...weighing heavily on me.


...Turns out all of that was due to Riot fucking up tho.
So Riot Games gave me, and every, player all of the free content I was grinding out for.

I have mixed feelings on this.
On the one hand: vindication that I was right. It

was

impossible. It wasn't my fault. It wasn't anything I was doing wrong. I didn't need to put in more time; I put in the amount of time which

should

have been enough.

On the one hand, weirdly disappointed, both because others who didn't put in nearly as much as I did are getting the awards, and that I wasted all that time on this for it to be handed to me anyway.


It's still a huge relief tho. A weight off my shoulders. Has breathed some life into me.

1. This is incredibly dramatic.

2. You literally could have just checked the status bar at any point in the last 2 weeks. (Or been in a discord w/ ppl u know that play)

Use this thread now for further discussion of LoL

[WeabooBob455]

Does anyone here still play this game?
Despite the rise of new exciting games, nothing quite matches the thrill I get from a well-executed strategy or the exhilaration of a hard-fought victory in LoL.
LoL is a tough game. As we all know, one wrong move and it can create a ripple effect across the entire team.
To help streamline my games and perhaps give me a bit of an upper hand, I use ArcaneScript. Using this has significantly eased the intensity of each match. It provides a set of options that enhance the game experience, making it more enjoyable even in high-stress ranked matches.

[Maestro]

I will on occasion very casually, but only bc Rossboomsocks brings me joy

[Psyche]

i kind of permanently want to get back into it
but i shouldn’t
