do you like ARAM? Yes? maybe it'll be interesting. Do you hate, like all good people do, ARAM? If so, it is only marginally better/worse.

Why the hell would you hate ARAMs?

[zoraster]

Because they are incredibly boring and I spend most of my time wishing the game would just be over. Also, a game mode where the featured idea is that you have no control over whether your team composition is going to be incredibly awesome or terrible does not appeal to me. I understand the appeal of being forced to play champions I don't play a lot of in an environment where that is true for many people, but I don't feel like ARAM really gives me a solid idea of how to play those champions anyway.

EH, I don't think that many ARAM's are lost to team composition.

[mykonian]

it is when people don't adapt to the teamcomps.

it is when people don't adapt to the teamcomps.

But that's just the players playing poorly.

I dunno, I play ARAMs because they're usually quick and occasionally allow me to learn the basics of a new champion in a (usually) low-pressure environment. I enjoy them as an exercise in teamfighting awareness / mechanics as well - when you're basically teamfighting or posturing for a teamfight for half an hour, you start to get much better at it.

[zoraster]

It seems like a very specialized type of team fighting though, and honestly (keeping in mind that I haven't played that many because I don't like ARAMs) I feel like despite it being a perma 5v5 there's very little attention paid to actual team fighting so much as a feeling of a pickup game.

I understand why people like ARAM though. I'm just saying that I think it's super boring, and that's why I tend to decline people's ARAM invitations.

I'm starting to hate playing normals alone nowadays. I only get queued against golds and platinums while I'm only Silver 2 myself. And it's really demotivating playing against people that are better then me consistently.

[zoraster]

are you sure you aren't better than you think? Also, is this sort of a humblebrag?

[animorpherv1]

I know exactly what kscope means, has happened to me. And no, it's not.

[dramonic]

Why would you play normals by yourself?
If you're gonna be alone, might as well use the mode designed for that!

[FakeGod]

Normal blinds forever

Pantheon+Orianna botlane was hilarious. We carried hard and won even though we had a Naut DC, a shitty lucian build and a zed with essence reaver.

EDIT: Not showing up in my match history for some reason.

... THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR CLIMBING.

FEEDERS. NOTHING BUT FEEDERS. WHY.

[dramonic]

Carry harder

[zoraster]

all right! about to play against a rek'sai support.

[dramonic]

Stream up, let's try to make it to G2!

[Papa Zito]

Dram are you streaming in 640x480 or something? I just nostalgia'd really hard.

[dramonic]

1280x1024 or something?

[Papa Zito]

Well whatever the number is you've got hardcore black bars on the side. Allow me to demonstrate:

[zoraster]

Yeah, it's not the low resolution that got me, it was the squareness.

[dramonic]

That's because you have a 16x9 monitor and I have a 4x3. I can't do anything about that :s

[zoraster]

put a hand on each side of the monitor and slowly but firmly pull.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

are you sure you aren't better than you think? Also, is this sort of a humblebrag?

I'm on 10 game losing streak. So no

[zoraster]

aww i know that feeling
