This guy is an ap alistar mid main. Respect.

[JasonWazza]

Alistar mid, and Brand Jungle by the looks of things.

That's called commitment to being non-meta.

[Papa Zito]

I dunno how many times this has been repeated, but

If you can play something

really well

, it doesn't really matter if it's 'meta' or not, you'll do well in games. If your goal is just to "gain elo" the fastest way to do it is find one champ you're comfortable with, learn the absolute shit out of it, then play it nonstop.

[hiplop]

Agreed so much zito. I wish I had the patience to just play one guy

[Papa Zito]

yeh I get bored playing the same champ twice in a row

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Got smurf from unranked to plat in 49 games of only karthus

Being matched with around ~D5s right now, so its mmr is a lot higher.

[Psyche]

tell me how to win with karthus

[tn5421]

Press R to win.


But in all seriousness, predict where your enemy will be, and then put your Q there, all the time. If your enemy is forced out of lane all the time, you win by default.

So, Reddit's in a bug hullaballoo over most likely not getting solo queue, so I did the math to see how many games it'd take to get a roughly 50% chance of playing premade 5s vs. random 5s, and in order to save me some time, in order to have a 50.4% chance of playing premade 5s vs. random 5s ONCE, you need to play 4800 games - so its effectively wash for the normal ranked player, despite how much it favours premades.

[hiplop]

when the enemy team's ashe outsmites your jungler

[SleepyKrew]

when your jungler is chain cced for five seconds so they have to watch the dragon go from 1000 health to 100 to smited without being able to do anything about it

[RayFrost]

You can still cast smite while under crowd controls that are not silence or suppression.

The problem isn't playing against a Premade 5 as a Random 5.

The problem is premades make more of a difference, even in cases where it's a premade 3/4.

If you are playing as a solo player you have a lot less of an influence in this queue.

I've had plenty of games that i could have gone 20/1 or 1/20 and still had the same outcome.

And i have had the same scenario with me being in a premade where i had a lot more influence over the game state simply by being a premade 3 (even with players that are really poor players due to shot calling)

EDIT: hell check my 2 kindred ranked games for Kindred

Recent one, i'm in a premade 3, have a ton of control over the map, and basically dominate.

1 month ago, i dominate, however because of the premade 3 we had we lost.

[PJ.]

playing premade 5s vs. random 5s

This the issue. It's never been the issue.

WAIT WHAT YOU CAN SMITE WHEN YOURE STUNNED OMG
